+ AMENDED LONG-FORM NOTICE This Court-authorized amended notice extends the time for Settlement Class Members to object to or opt out of the Settlement with Tyson to October 23, 2026, includes Co-Lead Counsel’s request for incurred litigation costs and future litigation costs, and provides a new date for the Fairness Hearing, now set for November 12, 2026. If you have already submitted a Claim Form for the Settlements with JBS and/or Tyson, you do not need to resubmit a Claim Form. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA If you purchased Boxed or Case-Ready Beef directly from Cargill, JBS, National Beef, or Tyson (as defined herein) in the United States from January 1, 2015, through February 29, 2020, you may be eligible to receive a payment from a new class action settlement. A federal court authorized this notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. • A new Settlement Agreement (or “Settlement”) has been reached in a class action antitrust lawsuit filed on behalf of Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs with Tyson Foods, Inc. and Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc. (collectively, “Tyson”). This Settlement only applies to Tyson and does not affect claims against other Defendants in the case In re Cattle and Beef Antitrust Litigation, et al. (In re DPP Beef Litigation), Case No. 22-md-03031- JRT-JFD (D. Minn). • If approved by the Court, the Settlement will resolve a lawsuit over whether Tyson conspired with other beef producers (see Question 2), the purpose and effect of which was to suppress competition and to allow these companies to charge supra-competitive prices for case-ready and boxed beef during the Settlement Class Period. If approved, the Settlement will avoid litigation costs and risks to Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs and Tyson and release Tyson from liability to members of the Settlement Class. The Court has not decided whether Tyson did anything wrong, and Tyson denies any wrongdoing. • You may have seen a previous notice about a $52.5 million settlement with JBS S.A., JBS USA Food Company, Swift Beef Company, and JBS Packerland, Inc. (collectively, “JBS”). The settlement with JBS was approved by the Court. Now, Tyson has agreed to pay $82.5 million (“Settlement Proceeds”) to resolve the claims in this lawsuit. In addition, Tyson has agreed to provide specified cooperation in the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs in their continued prosecution of the litigation. This Notice is about the new Settlement with Tyson. • Generally, you are included in the Settlement if you directly purchased Beef 1 for use or delivery in the United States, whether fresh or frozen, made from one of the following primals: chuck, loin, rib or round from Defendants, or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, from January 1, 2015 to February 29, 2020. For this lawsuit, beef excludes any product that is marketed as organic, grass-fed, kosher, halal, certified humane, Wagyu, “American- Style Kobe Beef,” and any product that is cooked, marinated, seasoned, flavored, or breaded. • The $82.5 million Settlement Proceeds will pay (1) money to eligible Settlement Class Members, (2) notice and administration costs, (3) class representative service awards, (4) attorneys’ fees, (5) incurred litigation costs not to exceed $1.5 million, and (6) future litigation costs of up to $5 million. 1 For this settlement, “Beef” is defined as: Boxed beef and case-ready beef (i.e., beef that has been cut into subprimals and packaged for resale) made from Fed Cattle in the United States that is sold fresh or frozen. With the exception of case-ready beef, “Beef” excludes other meat from Fed Cattle that is further processed at another plant (e.g., by grinding; adding other ingredients; or cooking or curing) and excludes drop byproducts (e.g., trim, fats, oils, hides, offal). The definition of “Beef” is limited to products derived from the loin, chuck, rib, and round primal cuts. Questions?

Defendants, including Tyson, produce boxed and case-ready Beef. Defendants’ records show that you may have purchased case-ready or boxed beef directly from one or more of the Defendants in the United States between January 1, 2015, and February 29, 2020. The list of Defendants is in Question 2. The Court authorized this notice because you have a right to know about the Settlement of certain claims against Tyson in this class action lawsuit, your rights, and your options before the Court decides whether to approve the Settlement. If the Court approves it, and after objections and appeals are resolved, you may be bound by the judgment and terms of the Settlement. This notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, and your legal rights. Your legal rights are affected whether you act or not. 2. What is this lawsuit about? This class action is called In re Cattle and Beef Antitrust Litigation, et al. (In re DPP Beef Litigation), Case No. 22-md- 03031-JRT-JFD and is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. U.S. District Court Judge John R. Tunheim is presiding over this class action. The people who sued are called the “Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs.” Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs allege that Defendants and their co-conspirators conspired to fix, raise, maintain, and stabilize the price of case-ready or boxed beef, beginning at least as early as January 1, 2015, with the result of increasing prices of such beef in the United States, in violation of federal antitrust laws. For inclusion in the Settlement Class, the term “beef” means boxed and case-ready beef (i.e., beef that has been cut into subprimals and packaged for resale) made from Fed Cattle in the United States that is sold fresh or frozen. With the exception of case-ready beef, “Beef” excludes other meat from Fed Cattle that is further processed at another plant (e.g., by grinding; adding other ingredients; or cooking or curing) and excludes drop byproducts (e.g., trim, fats, oils, hides, offal). The definition of “Beef” is limited to products derived from the loin, chuck, rib, and round primal cuts. The Defendants named in Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs’ Third Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint are producers of such beef in the United States. For the purpose of the Settlement, “Defendants” refers to: • Cargill, Inc. and Cargill Meat Solutions Corporations (a/k/a Cargill Protein) (collectively, “Cargill”); • JBS S.A., JBS USA Food Company, Swift Beef Company, and JBS Packerland, Inc. (collectively, “JBS”); • National Beef Packing Company (“National Beef”); and • Tyson Foods, Inc. and Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc. (collectively, “Tyson”). The Court granted final approval to a $52.5 million settlement between the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs and JBS on August 31, 2022. This Notice is about a new $82.5 million settlement with Tyson. The Direct Purchasers’ case is proceeding against Cargill and National Beef. These Defendants may be subject to separate settlements, judgments, or class certification orders. If applicable, you will receive a separate notice regarding the progress of the litigation and any resolution of claims against other Defendants. Tyson has denied all allegations of wrongdoing in this lawsuit and would allege numerous defenses to Plaintiffs’ claims if the case against it were to proceed. 3. What is a class action, and who is involved? In a class action lawsuit, one or more people or businesses called class representatives sue on behalf of others who have similar claims, all of whom together are a “class.” Individual class members do not have to file a lawsuit to participate in the class action Settlement or be bound by the judgment in the class action. One court resolves the issues for everyone in the class, except for those who exclude themselves from the class. Questions? Call the Claims Administrator toll-free at 1-877-331-0717 or visit www.BeefDirectPurchaserSettlement.com Page 5 of 13 In this case, the class representatives are Gregg Szilagyi solely in his capacity as Chapter 7 trustee for the bankruptcy estate of Central Grocers, Inc.., R & D Marketing, LLC, and Redner’s Markets, Inc. 4. Why is there a new Settlement? A previous settlement with JBS was previously reached and Court-approved. Now, Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs and Tyson have agreed to settle Plaintiffs’ claims against Tyson. The Court has not decided in favor of the Plaintiffs or Tyson. But litigation involves risks to both sides, and therefore Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs and Tyson agreed to the Settlement. The Settlement requires Tyson to pay $82.5 million, as well as provide specified cooperation that may be used by the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs in their continued prosecution of the litigation against Cargill and National Beef. The proposed Settlement does not mean that any law was broken or that Tyson did anything wrong. Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs and their attorneys believe the Settlement is in the best interests of all Settlement Class Members. 5. What if I received previous communications regarding this lawsuit? Notices were previously sent informing potential Settlement Class Members about and how to file claims in the JBS Settlement. The Court gave final approval to the JBS Settlement, and the deadlines to object, opt out of, or file a claim in that settlement have passed. This Notice is about a new Settlement with Tyson. WHO IS IN THE SETTLEMENT? 6. Am I part of the Settlement Class? The Court decided that, for settlement purposes, the Settlement Class for the Tyson Settlement is defined as: All persons and entities who directly purchased Beef for use or delivery in the United States, whether fresh or frozen, made from one of the following primals: chuck, loin, rib or round from Defendants, or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, from January 1, 2015 to February 29, 2020. For this lawsuit, beef excludes any product that is marketed as organic, grass-fed, kosher, halal, certified humane, Wagyu, “American-Style Kobe Beef,” and any product that is cooked, marinated, seasoned, flavored, or breaded. While this Settlement is only with Tyson, the Settlement Class includes persons or entities that purchased boxed or case- ready beef from any of the Defendants. 7. Who is not included in the Settlement Class? The Settlement Class does not include: • Defendants and their officers, directors or employees; • Any entity in which a Defendant has a controlling interest; • Any affiliate, legal representative, heir or assign of a Defendant; • Federal, state, or local governmental entities; • Any judicial officer presiding over this action and the members of the judicial officer’s immediate family and staff; • Any juror assigned to this action; and • Anyone that properly excludes themselves from the Settlement Class (see Question 19). If you are in one of these categories, you are not a member of the Settlement Class and not eligible to participate in the Settlement. Questions?

If you are still not sure if you are included, please review the detailed information contained in the Settlement Agreement, available for download at www.BeefDirectPurchaserSettlement.com. You may also call the Claims Administrator at 1-877- 331-0717 or call or write to Co-Lead Counsel at the phone numbers or addresses listed in Question 24 below. THE BENEFITS OF THE SETTLEMENT WITH TYSON 9. What does the Settlement with Tyson provide? If the Settlement is approved, Tyson will pay $80,000,000 to resolve all Settlement Class members’ claims against Tyson for the Released Claims (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) in addition to $2,500,000 for settlement notice and administrative costs. In addition to this monetary benefit, Tyson has also agreed to provide specified cooperation in the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs’ continued prosecution of the litigation. The Settlement Proceeds will be used to pay: • Notice and claims administration costs, • Attorney’s fees up to 331/3% of the Settlement Proceeds; • Incurred litigation costs not to exceed $1.5 million; • Service awards up to $25,000 for each of the three class representatives; • Future litigation costs of $5 million; and • Payments to eligible Settlement Class Members. The Court already approved the settlement with JBS totaling $52,500,000. Together, the JBS and Tyson Settlement Funds total $135,000,000. Plaintiffs and Co-Lead Counsel will file a motion or motions by OCTOBER 1, 2026, in which they will seek attorneys’ fees, incurred litigation costs, service awards for each of the Plaintiffs who are serving as class representatives, and future litigation costs. A copy of the motion(s) will be available on the Settlement Website. After the notice and claims administration costs and any Court-approved attorney’s fees, incurred litigation costs, service awards, and future litigation costs are paid, the remaining Settlement Proceeds will then be distributed to Settlement Class Members who submit a timely and valid Claim Form and who have not excluded themselves from the settlements on a pro rata (or proportional) basis based on their verified Beef purchases during the Settlement Class Period. 10. How much will my payment from the Settlement be? To be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement, you must complete and submit a timely Claim Form by NOVEMBER 30, 2026 (see Question 12). If you have already submitted a Claim Form for the JBS and/or Tyson Settlements, you do not need to resubmit the Claim Form. The amount received from the Settlement by a qualified claimant will be based on a number of factors, including the number of Settlement Class Members who have filed valid claims and the amount of approved Beef purchases by each participating Settlement Class Member during January 1, 2015 to February 29, 2020. No matter how many claims are filed, no amount of the Settlement Proceeds will be returned to the Settled Defendants. In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, the combined Settlement Proceeds, minus Court-approved attorneys’ fees, incurred litigation costs, class representative service awards, future litigation costs, and notice and administration costs (the “Net Settlement Fund”), will be distributed to Settlement Class Members on a pro rata (or proportional) basis based on the dollar amount of qualifying Beef purchases submitted by each Settlement Class Member in a timely, valid Claim form compared to the total dollar value of all qualifying Beef purchases claimed by all Settlement Class Members submitting timely, valid Claim Forms. The Claims Administrator will calculate the pro rata amount, if any, that each Settlement Class Member that submits a timely, valid Claim Form will receive. Questions? Call the Claims Administrator toll-free at 1-877-331-0717 or visit www.BeefDirectPurchaserSettlement.com Page 7 of 13 11. What am I giving up by staying in the Settlement Class? Unless you exclude yourself, you are staying in the Settlement Class, which means that you can’t sue, continue to sue, or be part of any other lawsuit against Tyson that pertains to the Released Claims (as defined in the Settlement Agreement). It also means that all of the Court’s orders will apply to you and legally bind you. The Released Claims are detailed in the Settlement Agreement, available at www.BeefDirectPurchaserSettlement.com. You are not releasing your claims against any Defendant other than Tyson by staying in this Settlement Class. HOW YOU GET A PAYMENT FROM THE SETTLEMENT 12. How can I file a Claim to get a payment from the Settlement? You do not need to submit another Claim Form if you already filed a claim in the previous settlement with JBS, as you will be automatically eligible to get a payment from this Settlement. However, due to changes between the settlement class definition from the JBS settlement, if you submitted additional documentation to supplement their claims amount for the JBS settlement you may need to do so again for the Tyson settlement. If you did not file a claim in the previous settlement, submit your Claim Form online at www.BeefDirectPurchaserSettlement.com by NOVEMBER 30, 2026. Or fill out the Claim Form and mail it to the address below, postmarked no later than NOVEMBER 30, 2026. If you previously received a pre-populated Claim Form, you may use your personal Unique ID Number listed on your Claim Form to log in at www.BeefDirectPurchaserSettlement.com where you can submit a claim and review your purchase information electronically. You can accept the purchase amounts that are pre-populated; or, if you disagree with those amounts, you can complete the Purchase Audit Request Form to provide additional purchase information (see Question 13). If you did not previously receive a pre-populated Claim Form or would like another copy of your pre-populated Claim Form, you can request that a Claim Form be sent to you by visiting the settlement website or by sending a written request to the Claims Administrator by mail: DPP Beef Litigation, c/o A.B. Data, Ltd., P.O. Box 173066, Milwaukee, WI 53217; or by email: info@BeefDirectPurchaserSettlement.com. If you previously received multiple Claim Forms with Unique ID Numbers, you must submit each one or take other steps to ensure that all of the purchases reflected in the Claim Form are accounted for in your submission. However, do not submit multiple Claim Forms reflecting the same purchases. If you have questions about your Claim Form or participating in the Settlement, contact Co-Lead Counsel (see Question 27) or the Claims Administrator. If you do not submit a valid Claim Form by the deadline and did not submit a claim in the JBS Settlement, you will not receive a payment from the Settlement, and you will still be bound by the Court’s judgment in these actions. If you have already submitted a Claim Form for the JBS and/or Tyson Settlements, you do not need to resubmit the Claim Form. 13. How do I review or update my eligible purchase amounts? If you received this Notice in the mail, you can review your Claim Form prepopulated, to the extent possible, with your eligible purchase amounts at www.BeefDirectPurchaserSettlement.com. You should use your personal Unique ID Number to login and review these amounts. These records may be incomplete. Questions? Call the Claims Administrator toll-free at 1-877-331-0717 or visit www.BeefDirectPurchaserSettlement.com Page 8 of 13 If you disagree with your Beef purchase amounts, you can complete a Purchase Audit Request Form (posted on the website) and provide supporting documentation by NOVEMBER 30, 2026. All revised or supplemental Beef purchase amounts will require actual documentation evidencing the entirety of the revised or supplemental purchase amounts being claimed. Please note that the DPP class definition has changed from the JBS settlement. Most importantly here, the class definition now excludes further processed products such as ground beef and drop byproducts such as offal. Where DPPs elected to recognize a portion of class members’ purchases of those products for the JBS settlement, those products are excluded from the Tyson settlement and DPPs will not recognize those purchases. Accordingly, you may see a change in your pre-populated dollar amount – or, if you submitted supplemental purchase documentation, in your recognized loss amount – compared with these figures in the JBS settlement. Additionally, as described in Question 13, if you submitted additional documentation to supplement your claims amount for the JBS settlement, you may need to do so again for the Tyson settlement. All revised Beef purchase amounts will be subject to review by the Claims Administrator, Co-Lead Counsel, and ultimately, the Court. 14. When will I get a payment from the Settlement? The Court must approve the Settlement and a distribution plan and any appeals must be resolved before any money is distributed to Settlement Class Members. The Claims Administrator also must complete processing claims and resolving any claim disputes. This process can take time. Settlement updates will be provided on the Settlement Website at www.BeefDirectPurchaserSettlement.com or may be obtained by contacting the Claims Administrator by phone toll-free at 1-877-331-0717. Please be patient. 15. If I filed a claim previously, do I need to submit a claim to get a payment from this Settlement? No. If you already submitted a claim in the previous settlement with JBS, you do not need to submit another claim to be eligible to receive a payment from this Settlement. If you filed a claim for the JBS Settlement and submitted additional documentation to supplement your claim, however, you may need to resubmit that documentation. If you have already submitted a Claim Form for the Tyson Settlement, you do not need to resubmit the Claim Form. 16. Can I get a payment from the Settlement if I excluded myself from the previous settlement with JBS? Yes. If you excluded yourself from the previous settlement with JBS (and do not exclude yourself now), you can file a claim to ask for a payment from this Settlement. 17. Can I submit a claim in or get a payment from the previous settlement with JBS? No. The deadline to submit a claim in the previous settlement with JBS has passed, and you can no longer able to submit a claim to get a payment from that settlement. 18. What happens if I do nothing at all? If you do nothing, you will remain a member of the Settlement Class. If you already filed a claim and do nothing, you may get a payment from this Settlement. If you did not already file a claim and do nothing now, you will not get a payment from this Settlement. You will be legally bound by the Court’s orders regarding this Settlement, good or bad. Also, you will give up your rights to sue Tyson about the Released Claims (as defined in the Settlement Agreement). You will have the opportunity to participate in (or exclude yourself from) any future settlements or judgments obtained by Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs. Questions? Call the Claims Administrator toll-free at 1-877-331-0717 or visit www.BeefDirectPurchaserSettlement.com Page 9 of 13 EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT 19. How do I exclude myself from the Settlement with Tyson? If you do not want a payment from the Settlement and you do not want to be legally bound by the terms of the Settlement, or if you wish to pursue your own separate lawsuit against Tyson, you must exclude yourself by submitting a written request to the Claims Administrator stating your intent to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class (an “Exclusion Request”). Your Exclusion Request must include the following: (a) your name, including the name of your business which purchased Beef, and address; (b) a statement that you want to be excluded from the Settlement Class from the Settlement with Tyson in In re Cattle and Beef Antitrust Litigation, et al. (In re DPP Beef Litigation), Case No. 22-md-03031-JRT-JFD; and (c) your signature. If you intend to exclude subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, related or controlled entities, predecessors in interest, or any other related entity, such entities must be expressly identified by name and address in your request. Additionally, if you intend to exclude claims that were assigned to you from another potential Settlement Class member, you must include: the assignor’s name; whether the assignor fully or partially assigned their Beef claims; the annual value of Beef purchases assigned, identify the Defendant or Co-Conspirator from whom the purchases were made; and a copy of the executed assignment agreement or a statement outlining the assignment signed by both the assignor and assignee. You must mail or email your Exclusion Request, postmarked or received by OCTOBER 23, 2026, to: DPP Beef Litigation, Attn: EXCLUSIONS, c/o A.B. Data, Ltd., P.O. Box 173001, Milwaukee, WI 53217; or info@BeefDirectPurchaserSettlement.com. 20. If I exclude myself, can I still get a payment? No. You will not get a payment in any settlements from which you exclude yourself. 21. If I don’t exclude myself, can I sue Tyson for the same thing later? No. Unless you exclude yourself, you give up the right to sue Tyson for the claims that the Settlement resolves. If you have a pending lawsuit against Tyson, speak to your lawyer in that lawsuit immediately to determine whether you must exclude yourself from this Settlement Class to continue your own lawsuit against Tyson. By staying in this Settlement Class, you are not releasing your claims in this case against any Defendant other than Tyson. 22. If I excluded myself from the previous settlement, do I need to exclude myself again? Yes. If you do not want to be part of this Settlement with Tyson, you need to exclude yourself again now even if you previously excluded yourself from the previous settlement with JBS. 23. Can I still exclude myself from the JBS Settlement? No. The deadline to exclude yourself from JBS Settlement has passed. OBJECTING TO THE SETTLEMENT 24. How do I tell the Court that I don’t like the Settlement? If you are a member of the Settlement Class and have not excluded yourself, you can object to the Settlement if you don’t like part or all of it and/or the motion(s) for attorneys’ fees, incurred litigation costs, service awards, and future litigation costs. The Court will consider your views. To object, you must send a letter or other written statement saying that you object to the Settlement with Tyson in In re Cattle and Beef Antitrust Litigation, et al. (In re DPP Beef Litigation), Case No. 22-md-03031-JRT-JFD;, and the reasons why you object to the Settlement. Be sure to include your full name, the name of your business which purchased Beef, a current mailing address, and an email address. Your objection must be signed. You may include or attach any documents Questions?

Can I object to the previous settlement? No. The deadline to object to the previous settlement with JBS has passed. 26. What is the difference between excluding myself and objecting? Objecting is telling the Court that you do not like something about the Settlement. You can object only if you do not exclude yourself from the Settlement with Tyson. Excluding yourself is telling the Court that you do not want to be part of the Settlement Class in this Settlement. If you exclude yourself, you may not object because the Settlement no longer affects you. THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING YOU 27. Do I have a lawyer in this case? The Court has appointed Gustafson Gluek PLLC, Cotchett, Pitre, & McCarthy, LLP, Hausfeld LLP, and Hartley LLP as Co-Lead Counsel for the Settlement Class. Their contact information is provided in Question 24. You will not be charged for these lawyers. If you wish to remain a member of the Settlement Class, you do not need to hire your own lawyer because Co-Lead Counsel is working on your behalf. However, if you want to be represented by another lawyer, you may hire one at your own expense. If you wish to pursue your own case against Tyson separate from this one, or if you exclude yourself from the Settlement, these lawyers will no longer represent you. You will need to hire your own lawyer if you wish to pursue your own lawsuit against Tyson. 28. How will the lawyers be paid? You will not have to pay any attorneys’ fees, incurred litigation costs, service awards, or future litigation costs out-of- pocket. Co-Lead Counsel will file a motion or motions by OCTOBER 1, 2026, in which they ask the Court to award up to 33⅓% of the Settlement Proceeds in attorneys’ fees, reimbursement of incurred litigation costs up to $1.5 million, $25,000 in service awards for each of the class representatives, and future litigation costs of $5 million. A copy of the motion(s) will be available on the settlement website by OCTOBER 8, 2026, and on the Court docket. The Court will determine the amount of the attorneys’ fees, incurred litigation costs, class representative service awards, and future litigation costs to be paid. THE COURT’S FAIRNESS HEARING 29. When and where will the Court decide whether to approve the Settlement? The Court will hold a hearing to decide whether to approve the Settlement (the “Fairness Hearing”). You may attend and you may ask to speak, but you don’t have to. The Court will hold a Fairness Hearing on NOVEMBER 12, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central, at the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, Courtroom 15, 300 South Fourth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55415. The Court may move the Fairness Hearing without providing additional notice to the Settlement Class. Updates, including any changes to the hearing date or conduct of the Fairness Hearing, will be posted on www.BeefDirectPurchaserSettlement.com. At this hearing, the Court will consider whether the Settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. If there are objections, the Court will consider them.

After the hearing, the Court will decide whether to approve the Settlement. We do not know how long these decisions will take. 30. Do I have to come to the hearing? No. Co-Lead Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. However, you are welcome to come at your own expense. If you send an objection, you do not have to come to Court to talk about it. As long as you mailed your written objection on time, the Court will consider it. You may also pay your own lawyer to attend, but it is not necessary. 31. May I speak at the hearing? You may ask to speak at the Fairness Hearing. To do so, you must send a letter saying that it is your “Notice of Intention to Appear in In re Cattle and Beef Antitrust Litigation, et al. (In re DPP Beef Litigation).” Be sure to include your name, the name of your business which purchased Beef, a current mailing address, a telephone number, and your signature. Your Notice of Intention to Appear must be postmarked no later than OCTOBER 23, 2026, and it must be sent to the Clerk of the Court, Co-Lead Counsel, and Counsel for Tyson. The address for the Clerk of the Court is: 300 South Fourth Street, Courtroom 15, Minneapolis, MN 55415. The addresses for Co-Lead Counsel and Counsel for Tyson are provided in Question 24. You cannot ask to speak at the hearing if you excluded yourself from the Settlement. GETTING MORE INFORMATION 32. How do I get more information about the Settlement?
