Dispute resolution process

1. Terms are agreed with vendors prior to trading 2. If payments are disputed with vendors: - remittance advice goes to all vendors when paid, referencing key information such as invoices covered etc. - if vendors have concerns, the remittance advice includes contact information for the Atlantic Foods Limited accounts payable team - disputes are then negotiated between parties - aged payables are also reviewed on a monthly basis with senior Atlantic Foods management
