2012 ANNUAL REPORT POWER TO THE PLAYERS

To maximize our retail footprint, we continually analyze our real estate portfolio to streamline operational costs
and improve profitability. In 2012, we reduced our net store square footage by 1%, or 81 net stores. Using
our PowerUp RewardsTM database, our unique sales transfer process moves at least 40% of sales from a closing
store to an existing one nearby, resulting in an increased combined profit of 20% or more.
