Four-Pronged Approach

CONCLUSION

Hansen’s continues to excel in its markets.

The Hansen’s brand is respected and trusted in the marketplace by an
extremely loyal base of consumers.

The premium healthier brand image enjoyed by Hansen’s Natural Sodas
offers unlimited opportunity to capture substantial additional share of the CSD
market, through national distribution.

Monster, Lost, Joker, Unbound, Ace, Hansen’s Energy, Energade and Rumba
provide an unparalleled platform to lead the energy category (together with
Red Bull).  In fact, as this category continues to grow, we believe that
Hansen’s portfolio is better positioned to address the broader, emerging
consumer base than Red Bull or any of the competition.
