Accessibility Plan

Introduction

At Perativ, we have developed the reputation as a market a leader in cash distribution services and technology since our inception in 2005. The organization services more than 10,000 ATMs for banks (such as BMO and RBC), major retailers (such as Walmart Canada), and a multitude of other businesses across Canada. We pride ourselves on helping our customers materially reduce their ATM management cost, improve their customer experience and make their operations more productive. We are committed to maintaining clean data driven processes that drive insight and efficiency. We pride ourselves on leading the market and developing innovative solutions for customers. This has led to the recently launch of our SaaS solution for global retail banks, helping rethink cash distribution. Our purpose is to Make Cash Accessible and Affordable.

Being a market leader requires staying ahead of the curve and putting customer service first to maintain a strong reputation. This cannot be accomplished without having an eclectic and diverse team of employees who continuously drive our business excellence.

As such, Perativ has always placed accessibility at a high level for both our direct customers, the general public, and our employees.

We at Perativ are committed to providing a barrier-free environment not only for our customers, but for our organizational members and in our service practices. We are committed to meeting the accessibility needs of persons with disabilities in a timely manner. Our goal is to ensure that anyone involved in providing or using our services can do so, recognizing that some individuals will need to be accommodated to provide fair opportunities, where possible. This goal is the foundation to which all our policies, practices and procedures are created surrounding the Integrated Regulation.

The preceding accessibility plan outlines what steps Perativ has taken and will take to prevent and remove barriers to accessibility, to meet its requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA).

This plan will be maintained and reviewed at least once every five years. The goal of reviewing the plan is to ensure Perativ continues to meet the needs of those with disabilities, where possible. It will also help determine any specific steps Perativ can take to increase accessibility and how we can reach the goals of our accessibility policy.

The accessibility plan is posted on our company website and can be provided in a format that accommodates a person with a disability, upon request.

Our plan shows how Perativ will play its role in making Ontario an accessible province for all Ontarians.

Historical Commitment to Accessibility

Perativ historically has been committed to assisting individuals who require accommodations, whether they are customers, employees, 3^rd party vendors, consultants, and all other members of the public.

Whether this is discussing in advance to meet the needs of a customer who requests accommodation, helping employees who need accommodations to be successful at work, or being aware of alternative methods to best accommodate 3^rd party vendors, Perativ has been considerate and aware to keep the needs of others a priority.

Perativ has remained compliant with the Customer Service Standard. Perativ has been open to accommodating customers to utilize our services. Should a customer inform a member of Perativ that they require accommodation, measures have been taken to provide such accommodation. When handling customer service issues, our trained staff have always treated each customer with respect, dignity and equally.

When procuring ATM products, our Sales and Services teams have been made aware of the features that provide accessibility to end-users. Our Service teams are proficient in ensuring all features of these products are in working-order and repaired, when needed.

When hiring, Perativ has informed potential candidates that they can request accommodation during the hiring process, when needed.

When an employee required accommodations, the matter was discussed with their manager and a 3^rd party (if necessary) to determine how to meet their needs. A solution was derived, within reason, using business resources to ensure the employees success. As well, if able to do so, based on business needs other flexible arrangements have been provided, such as a flexible work schedule.

Accommodations to meet the needs of any individual with a disability has always been a top priority for our company and will continue to be in the future.
