New Memory Foam Application

Hari Mari Gets Patent For Memory Foam Toe Post

Hari Mari announced today the issuance to it by the US Patent Office of a patent that covers its Memory Foam Toe Post, ™an enhanced toe post that eliminates break in periods.

Hari Mari focuses on using premium materials, infusing color in a stagnant market of black and brown, and helping kids battle pediatric cancer.  In addition, comfort is a large part of the brand’s DNA and this patent further speaks to Hari Mari’s commitment to innovation, design, and producing a comfortable product.

Prior to launching in 2012, Hari Mari’s Founder, Jeremy Stewart, hosted focus groups, speaking to all ages about what they did, and didn’t like, about flip flops. The main factor keeping most from purchasing and wearing flip flops, was a common loathing of uncomfortable toe posts between the first and second toe. Hari Mari’s patented toe piece was the brand’s solution to this industry wide complaint.

“You never truly understand the impact toe posts have in flip flops until you speak with customers who have experienced the difference first hand. The small amount of memory foam between the toes adds new levels of comfort customers do not realize they’re looking for,” said Hari Mari Customer Service Director, Anne Cadenhead.

The Hari Mari Toe Post™ is chemically affixed to the flip-flop’s sole and comprised of memory foam, which is distributed throughout the tubular sheath structure of the toe piece. This feature not only adds comfort to the customer, but also removes the chance that the post might rip out of the flop’s sole, another common complaint about flip flops.

“In a highly competitive footwear marketplace, it is important as a brand to have a unique story that people can relate to. At Hari Mari, we have created a comfort story with our memory foam toe post as a key component to that story,” said Trisha Hegg VP of Design. “When you can put your sandals (footwear) on , and wear them 24/7, with no break-in period, its a game changer.”

Dear valued customer,

As you may already be aware, we were very pleased to share recently that HollyFrontier Corporation
(HFC) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Sonneborn.

For more than 100 years, Sonneborn has been setting global industry standards by offering the
finest possible high purity specialty products as one of the world’s largest dedicated suppliers of
white oils, petrolatums and waxes. With manufacturing facilities in North America and Europe,
Sonneborn is the world’s only high purity specialty hydrocarbon producer that offers this global reach
combined with expertise and depth of experience.

The addition of Sonneborn will support HFC’s goal of becoming a leading global supplier of specialty products
through its HollyFrontier Lubricants and Specialty Products division, which includes Petro-Canada Lubricants
and Red Giant Oil. Sonneborn’s brand recognition and diversified portfolio of
products will complement our already strong global business.

The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is anticipated to close in 2019. Until
that time, HFC and Sonneborn remain independent and each company will interact with its
customers, suppliers, distributors and employees separately.

I assure you that quality products and excellent service will remain the highest priority for our
business.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your sales account representative.
