IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF KING NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT You may be eligible for an estimated payment of $ from a class action settlement relating to your application for employment with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems US Inc.; ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc.; AADG, Inc.; ASSA ABLOY Level LLC; LUXER Corporation; and/or Ameristar Perimeter Security USA Inc. The King County Superior Court authorized this Notice. You are not being sued. This is not a solicitation from an attorney. Shannon Spencer (“Plaintiff” or “Class Representative”), filed a lawsuit against ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems US Inc.; ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc.; AADG, Inc.; ASSA ABLOY Level LLC; LUXER Corporation; and Ameristar Perimeter Security USA Inc. (“Defendants,” and collectively with Plaintiff, the “Parties”) on behalf of himself and a proposed class of similarly situated applicants. The lawsuit, Spencer v. Assa Abloy Entrance Systems US Inc., et al., Case No. 25-2-21276-9 KNT (the “Lawsuit”) is currently pending in King County Superior Court, before Judge John McHale. Plaintiff claimed in the lawsuit that Defendants’ job postings for open positions in Washington did not disclose the wage scale or salary range being offered and/or a general description of all of the benefits and other compensation being offered for the position. Defendants dispute Plaintiff’s claims and contend they have not violated any law and that Plaintiff’s claims are without merit. The Parties to the Lawsuit have reached a proposed Class Action Settlement. The Proposed Class Action Settlement includes a payment by Defendants of $269,513.00 to $395,000.00, depending on how many Class Members submit a claim. On August 20, 2026, the Court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement and authorizing the Settlement Administrator, Simpluris, Inc. (“Settlement Administrator”), to issue this Notice and Claim Form. You are receiving this Notice because Defendants’ records indicate you are eligible to participate in the Class Action Settlement as a member of the Settlement Class. “Settlement Class Members” include “Plaintiff and all individuals who, from January 1, 2023, through July 26, 2025, completed an application for a job opening in the State of Washington with one or more Defendants through a job posted on one or more of Defendants’ websites or an authorized third-party recruiting platform, where the job posting did not include a wage scale or salary range.” The Court still has to decide whether to approve the settlement. No settlement benefits or payments will be provided unless the Court approves the settlement, and it becomes final. Please read this Notice carefully. Your legal rights are affected regardless of whether you act or do not act. For complete details, please see the Settlement Agreement, the terms of which control, available at www.EPOASettlementAA.com.

BASIC INFORMATION 1. What is this Notice and why should I read it? The Court authorized this Notice to inform you about a proposed settlement with Defendants. You have legal rights and options that you may act on before the Court decides whether to approve the proposed settlement. You may be eligible to receive a cash payment as part of the settlement. This Notice explains the Lawsuit, the Class Action Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”), and your legal rights. Judge John McHale of King County Superior Court is overseeing this class action. The case is titled Spencer v. Assa Abloy Entrance Systems US Inc., et al., Case No. 25-2-21276-9 KNT. Shannon Spencer is the Plaintiff or Class Representative. The companies he sued, ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems US Inc.; ASSA ABLOY Americas Residential Inc.; AADG, Inc.; ASSA ABLOY Level LLC; LUXER Corporation; and Ameristar Perimeter Security USA Inc., are the Defendants. 2. What is a class action lawsuit? A class action is a lawsuit in which one or more plaintiffs sue on behalf of a group of people who have similar claims. Together, this group is called a “Settlement Class” and consists of “Settlement Class Members.” In a class action, the court resolves the issues for all class members, except those who exclude themselves from the class. 3. What is this Lawsuit about? Plaintiff claims that Defendants violated Washington law, RCW 49.58.110, when they allegedly did not disclose the wage scale or salary range and/or a general description of all of the benefits and other compensation being offered for the position. Defendants deny that they are or can be held liable for the claims made in the Lawsuit. More information about the Lawsuit can be found in the “Important Documents” section of the Settlement Website at www.EPOASettlementAA.com. 4. Why is there a settlement? The Court has not decided whether Plaintiff or Defendants should win this case. Instead, both sides agreed to this settlement. That way, they can avoid the uncertainty, risks, and expense of ongoing litigation, and Settlement Class Members will get compensation now rather than years later—if ever. Plaintiff and Class Counsel (attorneys for the Settlement Class Members) agree the settlement is in the best interests of the Settlement Class Members. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by Defendants. Defendants expressly deny any such wrongdoing or violation of law. 5. How do I know if I am in the Settlement Class? Defendants’ records show you are part of the Settlement Class because you applied for a job opening in Washington with the Defendants between January 1, 2023, and July 26, 2025 (the “Settlement Class Period”) where the job posting arguably did not disclose the wage scale or salary range and/or a general description of all of the benefits and other compensation being offered for the position.

Please be patient. All checks will expire and become void 180 days after the date of issuance. 9. Will Defendants retaliate against me if I participate in the settlement? No. Defendants support the settlement and will not retaliate in any way against any Settlement Class Member for participating in the settlement. Your decision to participate, not participate, or object to the settlement will not affect any application for employment with Defendants or Defendants’ treatment of you as a current or former employee. THE ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING YOU 10. Do I have an attorney in this Lawsuit? Yes, the Court appointed Timothy W. Emery, Patrick B. Reddy, and Paul Cipriani of Emery Reddy, PC as Class Counsel to represent the Settlement Class. Their contact information is: Emery Reddy, PC 600 Stewart Street, Suite 1100 Seattle, WA 98101 Phone: (206) 442-9106 Page 3 of 7 Notice Should I get my own attorney? You don’t need to hire your own attorney because Class Counsel are working on your behalf. These attorneys and their firm are experienced in handling similar cases. You will not be charged for these attorneys. You can ask your own attorney to appear in Court for you, at your own cost, if you want someone other than Class Counsel to represent you. 11. How will Class Counsel and the Class Representative be paid? Class Counsel will ask the Court to approve, and Defendants agree not to oppose, an award of attorneys’ fees in the amount of $116,525.00, plus costs and expenses in an amount not to exceed $5,000.00, to be paid from the Settlement Fund. Class Counsel will also request a service award for Plaintiff in the amount of $10,000.00, to be paid from the Maximum Settlement Fund. The Court will determine the proper amount of any attorney’s fees, costs, and expenses to award Class Counsel and the proper amount of any service award to Plaintiff. The Court may award less than the amounts requested. Whether the settlement will be finally approved does not depend on whether or how much the Court awards in attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses or service award. YOUR RIGHTS AND OPTIONS 12. What claims do I give up by participating in this settlement? If the Court approves the settlement, the Court will enter a final judgment dismissing the Lawsuit “with prejudice.” This means that the claims in the Lawsuit will be permanently dismissed. Specifically, each of the Defendants and the other Released Parties 1 will be “released” from claims as described in Paragraph 18 of the Settlement Agreement, which states that upon final approval of this Settlement Agreement by the Court, each Settlement Class Member who does not submit a valid and timely request for exclusion: …will be deemed for all purposes to have released, waived, and forever discharged Defendants and each of the other Released Parties from all claims that arose during the Settlement Class Period that were asserted against Defendants and/or the other Released Parties by Plaintiff and members of the Settlement Class in the Complaint (the “Released Class Claims”). The Released Class Claims include claims based on the Released Parties’ alleged failure to comply with the job posting/pay transparency requirements of the Washington Equal Pay and Opportunities Act, including any alleged liabilities arising out of or relating to a failure to include the wage scale or salary range and/or a general description of all of the benefits and other compensation to be offered to a hired applicant or employee in any job postings. The Released Class Claims also specifically include any claims arising out of or relating to a violation of RCW 49.58.110, and any attendant claims for relief under RCW 49.58.070 and/or RCW 49.58.110, interest, liquidated damages, exemplary damages, statutory damages, minimum statutory damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs relating to any of the foregoing. By being part of the settlement, Settlement Class Members agree that they cannot sue or seek recovery against Defendants or other Released Parties as described in the Settlement Agreement for any Released Class Claims. Participating in the settlement does not, however, waive claims outside the release. Any potential Settlement Class Member who does not request exclusion by the applicable deadline will be a Settlement Class Member and will be considered to have accepted the above release and to have waived any and all of the Released Class Claims against the Released Parties. Any potential Settlement Class Member who requests exclusion by the applicable deadline is not a Settlement Class Member, will not be subject to the release, and will not receive any payment. 13. What happens if I do nothing? If you do nothing, you will receive no payment under the settlement. You will still be in the Settlement Class, and, if the Court approves the settlement, you will be bound by all orders and judgments of the Court, the Settlement Agreement, and its included 1 As used in the settlement and this Notice, the phrase “Released Parties” means “(i) Defendants, and each of them, together with any of their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, related companies/corporations and/or partnerships (defined as a company/corporation and/or partnership that is, directly or indirectly, under common control or ownership with one or more of Defendants or any of their respective parents and/or affiliates), investors, owners, joint ventures, joint employers, alter-egos, divisions, insurers, reinsurers, insurance policies, and benefit plans, or any other entity with an interest in or obligation regarding one or more of Defendants’ liabilities; (ii) each of the past, present, and future officers, directors, agents, employees, equity holders (shareholders, holders of membership interests, etc.), representatives, agents, administrators, and fiduciaries, as well as the attorneys of the entities and plans described in this sentence; (iii) any individuals or entities that assisted one or more of Defendants or any of the other individuals and entities described in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Paragraph 18, with creating, publishing, processing, or hosting any of the job postings used or maintained by any one or more of Defendants during the Settlement Class Period or otherwise assisted one or more of Defendants with their employee recruitment efforts; and (iv) the predecessors, successors, transferees, and assigns of each of the persons and entities described in this sentence.” Page 4 of 7 Notice release.

Unless you exclude yourself, you won’t be able to file a lawsuit or be part of any other lawsuit against Defendants or the other Released Parties for the claims or legal issues resolved in this settlement. 14. What happens if I request to be excluded? If you submit a timely, valid request for exclusion from the settlement, you will receive no benefits or payment under the settlement. However, you will not be in the Settlement Class, will not release claims against Defendants, and will not be legally bound by the Court’s judgments in this Lawsuit. 15. How do I request to be excluded? To request to be excluded from the settlement, you must send a letter, postmarked no later than December 4, 2026, to the Settlement Administrator at the following address: Spencer v.

Group requests for exclusion are not permitted. 16. If I don’t exclude myself, can I sue Defendants for the same thing later? No. Unless you exclude yourself, you give up any right to sue Defendants for the claims being resolved by this settlement even if you do not submit a Claim Form. 17. If I exclude myself, can I get anything from this settlement? No. If you exclude yourself, do not submit a Claim Form to ask for a payment. 18. How do I object to the settlement?

Paul Cipriani 520 Pike Street Suite 2300 Emery Reddy, PC Seattle, WA 98101 600 Stewart Street Suite 1100 Seattle, WA 98101 19. What’s the difference between objecting and excluding myself from the settlement? Objecting simply means telling the Court that you don’t like something about the settlement. You can object only if you stay in the Settlement Class. Excluding yourself from the Settlement Class is telling the Court that you don’t want to be part of the Settlement Class. If you exclude yourself, you have no basis to object because the case no longer affects you. THE COURT’S FINAL APPROVAL HEARING 20.
