This Notice Was Authorized by The Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Middlesex County Do not be alarmed. You are NOT being sued. Notice of Class Action Settlement with Dollar General Jennifer Braun v. Dolgencorp, LLC d/b/a Dollar General Case No.: MID-L-00950-25 The Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Middlesex County authorized this notice to inform you of your rights under a proposed Settlement with Dolgencorp, LLC d/b/a Dollar General (“Dollar General” or “Defendant”). Dollar General is the Defendant. You are a member of the Settlement Class. As a member of the Settlement Class, you have three options: 1) File a Claim by April 13, 2026: This means you remain in the Settlement Class and will receive the settlement benefits described in this notice. 2) Remove yourself from the Settlement Class by March 2, 2026. This means you will not receive the settlement benefits and will not give up any claims against DG. 3) File an objection with the Court by March 2, 2026. An objection allows your views to be heard in Court. What This Case Is About A Settlement was reached in a class action where Dollar General is alleged to have discrepancies between the prices of merchandise advertised on the shelves and what customers were charged and paid at checkout and that Defendant used the same procedures in charging a higher price than advertised when selling the same and/or similar merchandise to numerous other customers in its stores. Defendant denies any wrongdoing. What You Will Receive If You Remain in the Settlement Class If you take no action, you will remain in the Settlement Class. Settlement Class Members who provide proof of either (1) a contemporaneously-submitted complaint during the class period to a governmental entity or to Dollar General referencing a price overcharge on a specific product that has not previously been resolved by Dollar General, or (2) a price overcharge that has been specifically documented by a customer via objective evidence are eligible for a payment of $10 or the amount of the actual overcharge (whichever is higher) for each separate complaint about a separate price overcharge, up to two for a maximum household recovery of $20, or the total of the amount of the actual overcharges (whichever is higher). In addition, Settlement Class Members are eligible for an “In-Store Benefit” a $3 discount on the first $10 of any purchase of at least $10 (pretax), for a maximum discount of $3 per customer, available for redemption during a 2-day window at any Dollar General store nationally.

In a class action lawsuit, a person or persons (the “Class Representatives” or “Plaintiffs”) sues on behalf of others who have the same claims. People with the same claims are called “Class Members”, or collectively, a “Class.” Because everyone in the Class has the same claims against the party being sued, one court can resolve the issues for everyone in the Class, except those who choose to remove themselves from the Class. In this case, Jennifer Braun, Joseph Wolf, Carmen Wolf, Lori Hartline, Sharlia Cotton, and Ryan Button are the Class Representatives. 2. WHAT IS THIS LAWSUIT ABOUT? Plaintiffs filed lawsuits alleging Dollar General violated various consumer protection laws in that Dollar General is alleged to have discrepancies between the prices of merchandise advertised on the shelves and what customers were charged and paid at checkout and that Defendant used the same procedures in charging a higher price than advertised when selling the same and/or similar merchandise to numerous other customers in its stores and that it is Defendant’s policy and practice to charge a higher price at the register for merchandise than the price advertised on the unit price labels for the same merchandise on the shelves in Defendant’s throughout the country. Defendant denies any wrongdoing. The Defendant denies the Plaintiffs’ allegations. Specifically, it is Defendant’s position that Dollar General denies that this lawsuit has merit, that this litigation may proceed as a class action, and that Dollar General has a regular practice of charging customers a higher price at the cash register on various items than the price on the in-store shelves. 3. WHY DID I GET THIS NOTICE? You received this Notice because Defendant’s records show that you are a member of the proposed settlement class. 4. WHY IS THERE A SETTLEMENT? The Class Representatives and Defendant agreed to this settlement to avoid the risk, uncertainty and expense of a trial and possible appeals, and to ensure that the affected consumers will receive money. The Class Representatives and the attorneys appointed by the Court to serve as “Class Counsel” believe that the settlement is in the best interest of all Class Members. By settling this lawsuit, Defendant does not admit any wrongdoing. 5. WHO IS IN THE CLASS? The Class includes “all consumers in the United States who paid more or less for merchandise than the advertised price labeled on the shelf at a Dollar General store from October 10, 2016, through November 19, 2025.” 6. HAS THE COURT DECIDED WHO IS RIGHT? No. The Court has not made any determination as to which party is right. 7. WHO REPRESENTS THE CLASS IN THIS CASE? Questions? Visit: www.DGPriceSettlement.com or Call: 1-844-262-4248 Page 3 of 10 For settlement purposes, the Court appointed the following attorneys as Interim Class Counsel or Proposed Settlement Class Counsel to represent the proposed Settlement Class: Marc Dann, Esq. Adam Edwards, Esq. Javier Merino, Esq. Scott Harris, Esq. The Dann Law Firm, PC Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips 825 Georges Road, 2nd Floor Grossman PLLC North Brunswick, NJ 08902 900 W. Morgan Street Telephone: (216) 373-0539 Raleigh, North Carolina 27603 Telephone: (919) 600-5000 THE TERMS OF THE SETTLEMENT 8. WHAT IS THE SETTLEMENT? In exchange for releasing certain claims against Defendant (see Question 9 below for a description of the released claims), all Class Members will receive the benefits described below. To resolve claims of all Class Members, Settlement Class Members who provide proof of either (1) a contemporaneously-submitted complaint during the class period to a governmental entity or to Dollar General referencing a price overcharge on a specific product that has not previously been resolved by Dollar General, or (2) a price overcharge that has been specifically documented by a customer via objective, contemporaneous evidence are eligible for a payment of $10 or the amount of the actual overcharge (whichever is higher) for each separate complaint about a separate price overcharge, up to two for a maximum household recovery of $20, or the total of the amount of the actual overcharges (whichever is higher). In addition, Settlement Class Members are eligible for an “In-Store Benefit” a $3 discount on the first $10 of any purchase of at least $10 (pretax), for a maximum discount of $3 per customer, available for redemption during a 2-day window (excluding Saturday) at any Dollar General store nationally (the specific dates are to be determined). Limit one In-Store Benefit per Person. The In-Store Benefit will only work once, although a customer may redeem the In-Store Benefit on either of the days selected by the Parties. This In-Store Benefit cannot be combined with any other DG store coupons but can be combined with national manufacturer coupons. The In-Store Benefit excludes: phone, gift and prepaid financial cards, prepaid wireless handsets, Rug Doctor rental, propane, tobacco, alcohol, and milk. Settlement Class Members are not required to submit proof of a price overcharge to be eligible for the In-Store Benefit. Any uncashed checks will be paid as a charitable contribution to a national food bank organization, with no restrictions on its use. (A cy pres award to a charity is similar to a donation and is how leftover monies in a class action settlement fund are often distributed). Assuming the Court approves the proposed settlement at the Final Fairness Hearing and assuming no appeal, motion for reconsideration, reargument, and/or rehearing, or petition for writ of certiorari has been filed, within 30 days after that final approval, Defendant will deposit the funds into a settlement account established and maintained by the Settlement Administrator, from which payments will be issued to Settlement Class Members. Checks will expire 60 days after the date that they are mailed. Questions? Visit: www.DGPriceSettlement.com or Call: 1-844-262-4248 Page 4 of 10 The Costs of Administering the Settlement All costs and expenses associated with administering the settlement, including the Settlement Administrator’s fees and costs will be paid from the Common Fund. The Class Representatives are entitled to $5,000 or $7,500 The Class Representatives are entitled to a Service Award of either $7,500 for each Class Representative that was deposed or $5,000 per Class Representative that was not deposed. The Parties agree that the decision whether or not to award any such payment, and the amount of that payment, rests in the exclusive discretion of the Court. The Service Awards are in recognition of their efforts on behalf of the Class and to resolve their individual damage claims against Dollar General. Class Counsel’s Fees and Expenses Class Counsel will ask the Court for attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of litigation expenses of not more than 33.3% of the Total Common Fund Value. The Defendant has agreed not to take a position on Class Counsel's application for attorneys' fees and reimbursement of reasonable litigation expenses, subject to the Court’s approval. Class Counsel will file a fee application with the Court prior to the date scheduled for the Fairness Hearing seeking 33.3% of the Total Common Fund Value in reasonable attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses incurred by Class Counsel. The amount that Class Counsel will seek will include all costs and expenses, time already spent and time to be spent including finalizing the settlement, preparing settlement documents, drafting briefs, attending hearings, responding to and defending against any objections to the settlement and monitoring of the settlement and settlement administration. The amount set forth herein does not include any time that may be spent enforcing the terms of the Settlement Agreement or resulting from any breach of the terms of this Settlement Agreement, or from any appeals. Further, the amount of the attorneys’ fees award, plus reimbursement of reasonable litigation expenses is not part of the substantive terms of the proposed settlement and will be considered by the Court separately from the Court’s consideration of the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the proposed settlement. Payment from the Common Fund of the attorneys’ fees, plus reimbursement of reasonable litigation expenses will not reduce the benefits to the Class. 9. WHAT CLAIMS AM I RELEASING IF I REMAIN IN THE CLASS?
