HP Launch Supplies Rewards with the support of sub-distributor Tonnex International:

PORT MELBOURNE, VIC -- August 5, 2008 – Photo and Imaging giant HP yesterday launched their new
rewards program; Supplies Rewards. The program available to resellers of 100% Genuine HP Supplies
through HP’s authorised distribution channel is expected to see a strong growth for HP in the un-managed sector. HP’s Market Development Manager of Supplies, Mr. Jason Su, further added that “we are excited about HP Supplies Rewards and Tonnex's involvement as an authorised sub distributor in this program.

This program provides all resellers of HP supplies, regardless of their size, the opportunity to not only
engage directly with HP and receive great prizes, but also to be certain that they are getting genuine HP
supplies and leverage HP's specially marked supplies products which enable their customers to participate
in HP promotions”.

As HP’s only authorised sub-distributor, Tonnex International were quite active in the launch of the program and are excited about what it has to offer. “We are very excited to work with HP on implementing these great offers to our resellers” commented Tonnex Marketing Manager James Rendell. “We have seen some amazing results with our own rewards program throughout the past 18 months so we are expecting even bigger results given that we can offer HP’s new program as well” Rendell said.

Tonnex are expecting to see a large uptake from their customer base and given the fact that over 50 of their
customers had registered within the first few hours of the launch it is a good indication that this program will
work well for them. “Our customers have always enjoyed our rewards program, so naturally we will expect a great uptake [on Supplies Rewards] so resellers can earn points on all their HP purchases through Tonnex on both HP Supplies Rewards and our Reseller Rewards PLUS program” said Rendell.

The rewards program offers participating Resellers who are not on HP’s managed channel the ability to
earn reward points on purchases of genuine HP supplies through HP’s authorised distributors and sub-distributors. Resellers can then use these points towards redeeming products. “There are some great items available for redemption which represents a significant value, for example, a reseller who spends $6,000 a month on HP can redeem up to $600 a month in vouchers. Coupled with the products available in our rewards program and the fact that their customers can participate in HP end-users programs, it really adds up to some amazing value for resellers” said Rendell.

Tonnex and HP have been working very closely together since Tonnex’s announcement as an authorised sub-distributor last year and were obviously happy with their results together thus far.

Registration on both programs is free and Resellers can contact Tonnex on 1800 866 639 for more information and to be able to go into the draw to win 1 of 2 BBQ’s.
