Moog Animatics Class 5 Update

| February 2024

This announcement is an update to our Class 5 “Rationalization Notification” that went out the end of last week. We realize the original wording of the communication, also found below, was not clear enough regarding the future of Class 5 and want to clarify.

We will continue to build Class 5 for an indefinite amount of time. Only a couple of options will be discontinued. These options are not built in huge numbers and are mostly replaced by other newer options / model.

Also note that you have only few weeks left (till 3/31/2024) to order Class 4.

It would be great to see you all at the Animatics Institute in Charleston, SC, USA at Trident Technical College, April 22 through April 26, 2024.

Reminder: Please remember that there are only 54 days left to order Class 4 (3/31/2024) motors before this product line will be completely discontinued.

Original Communication:

This announcement serves as formal notification that Moog Animatics is discontinuing the production of some Class 5 SmartMotor products listed in the below appendix.

Moog Animatics acknowledges the obligation to promptly inform our customers of the intent to exit certain products to proactively provide the ability to prepare for proper alternatives. These products have been sold and supported for well over 10 years. These products will be discontinued because newer alternatives are available, and we are committed to streamline our product portfolio to improve delivery times and pricing of the products with which we are moving forward.

Our intent is to support these products for a limited time to allow for future planning for all our customers. We are therefore offering a last time buy opportunity to support your needs in the near term. With this notification Moog Animatics extends the opportunity of a last time buy for the products listed in the appendix.

Last Time Buy Conditions:

• All purchase orders are non-cancellable and non-returnable
• Minimum purchase order value is $4,000.00
• Date for last order acceptance is June 30, 2024. Factory orders will not be accepted after this date
• Date for last Moog Animatics shipment is December 31, 2024
• Date of last repair is December 31, 2026
• The Moog Animatics standard 2-year warranty will apply to all respective Class 5 shipments

Please note that while every attempt will be made to deliver the quantities requested, factors such as parts availability may limit our ability to deliver requested quantities. Any shortfall will be communicated through the sales organization.

Repairs will be available until the “Date of Last Repair” as outlined above. After this point the products listed above will be marked obsolete and Moog will not be able to guarantee their repair.

The entire Moog Animatics team appreciates and values your business and looks forward to your continued interest in our products. While we regret any inconvenience this announced action may cause, we are eager to supply your future product requirements with innovative line of fully integrated motion control products.
