The parties to the Action have reached a proposed settlement (“Settlement”) in the amount of $4,750,000 in cash. If approved, the Settlement will resolve all claims in the Action. A hearing will be held in the Action on September 3, 2026 at 8:30 a.m., before the Honorable George H. Wu at the United States District Court, First Street Courthouse, 350 W. 1st Street, Courtroom 9D, 9th Floor, Los Angeles, California (the “Court”), to determine whether: (i) the Settlement should be approved as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (ii) the Action should be dismissed with prejudice against Defendants, and the releases specified and described in the settlement agreement (and in the Notice described below) should be entered; (iii) the proposed Plan of Allocation for the Settlement, should be approved as fair and reasonable; and (iv) counsel’s applications for awards of attorneys’ fees and expenses should be approved.

The Settlement will not become effective until the Settlement receives final approval from the Court, and has become final. If approved, the Settlement will resolve all claims in the Action.

If you are a member of the Settlement Class, your rights may be affected by the pending Action and the Settlement, and you may be entitled to share in the settlement proceeds. This notice provides only a summary of the information contained in the detailed Notice of (I) Pendency of Class Action and Proposed Settlement; (II) Motion for an Award of Attorneys’ Fees and Litigation Expenses and Service Awards to the Lead Plaintiffs; and (III) Settlement Hearing (“Notice”).
