The lawsuit, Okyeremah Nyannor v. Emerald City Pizza LLC, is pending in King County Superior Court as Case Number 24-2-10796-7 SEA before the Honorable Michael K. Ryan (the “Lawsuit”). • Plaintiff claimed in the Lawsuit that Defendant’s job postings for Washington positions did not disclose pay or benefits information in violation of the Washington Equal Pay and Opportunities Act, RCW 49.58.110. Defendant disputes Plaintiff’s claims and contends it has not violated any law and Plaintiff’s claims are without merit. The Court has not made any determinations regarding liability. • The Parties to the Lawsuit have reached a proposed settlement, which includes a payment by Defendant of $376,000.00 (“Common Fund”). On September 2, 2026, the Court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement and authorizing the Settlement Administrator, Simpluris, Inc. (“Settlement Administrator”), to issue this Notice. • You are receiving this Notice because Defendant’s records indicate you are a Settlement Class Member. “Settlement Class Members” include Plaintiff and all individuals who, from January 1, 2023, through September 2, 2026, applied for a job opening in the State of Washington with Emerald City Pizza LLC, where the job posting did not disclose the wage scale or salary range and a general description of benefits and other compensation. • The Court still has to decide whether to approve the settlement.

What is this Notice and why should I read it? The Court authorized this Notice to inform you about a proposed settlement. You have legal rights and options you may act on before the Court decides whether to approve the proposed settlement. You may be eligible to receive a payment as part of the settlement. This Notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement Agreement, and your legal rights. Judge Michael K. Ryan of King County Superior Court is overseeing this Lawsuit. Okyeremah Nyannor is the Plaintiff or Class Representative. The company he sued, Emerald City Pizza LLC, is the Defendant. 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 Defendant violated the pay transparency provision of the Washington Equal Pay and Opportunities Act, RCW 49.58.110, when it did not disclose pay and benefits information on job postings for open Washington positions. Defendant denies that it is 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.EPOASettlementECP.com. 4. Why is there a settlement? The Court has not decided whether Plaintiff or Defendant 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 Defendant. 5. How do I know if I am in the Settlement Class? Defendant’s records show you are part of the Settlement Class because you applied to an Emerald City Pizza LLC job posting that did not disclose pay or benefits information between January 1, 2023, and September 2, 2026.

Page 3 of 8 Notice THE ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING YOU 10. Do I have an attorney in this case? Yes, the Court appointed Timothy 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 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 Defendant agrees not to oppose, an award of attorneys’ fees in the amount of $112,800.00, plus actual litigation costs and expenses up to $5,000.00, to be paid from the Settlement Fund. Class Counsel will also request a service award for Plaintiff in the amount of $25,000.00, to be paid from the Settlement Fund. The Court will determine the proper amount of any attorneys’ 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, Defendant will be “released” from claims as described in Paragraph 22 of the Settlement Agreement, which states: Upon final approval of this Settlement Agreement by the Court, each Settlement Class Member who does not request exclusion in accordance with the procedures set forth above will release (i) Defendant and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, related companies/corporations and/or partnerships (defined as a company/corporation and/or partnership that are, directly or indirectly, under common control with Defendant or any of its parents and/or affiliates), joint venturers, joint employers, alter-egos, divisions, insurers, reinsurers, insurance policies and benefit plans, (ii) each of the past, present, and future officers, directors, agents, employees, equity holders (shareholders, holders of membership interests, etc.), representatives, administrators, insurers, reinsurers, fiduciaries and attorneys of the entities and plans described in this sentence, and (iii) the predecessors, successors, transferees, and assigns of each of the persons and entities described in this sentence (the “Released Parties”) from all claims during the period from January 1, 2023, through the date of preliminary approval, that were asserted against Defendant in the Action, including any attendant claims under any state, federal, or local law, to the fullest extent permitted by law (the “Released Class Claims”). Page 4 of 8 Notice By being part of the settlement, Settlement Class Members agree that they cannot sue or seek recovery against Defendant or other Released Parties as described in the Settlement Agreement for any released claims. Participating in the settlement does not, however, waive claims outside the release. Any potential Settlement Class Member who does not request exclusion by November 23, 2026, 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 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 and the Court approves the settlement, you will still be in the Settlement Class, receive a payment in the mail upon confirmation of a valid mailing address, and be bound by all orders and judgments of the Court, the Settlement Agreement, and its included release. Unless you exclude yourself, you won’t be able to file a lawsuit or be part of any other lawsuit against Defendant 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 not be in the Settlement Class and will not receive a settlement payment. However, you will not release claims against Defendant, and you 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 November 23, 2026, to the Settlement Administrator at the following address: Okyeremah Nyannor v. Emerald City Pizza LLC c/o Simpluris, Inc. P.O. Box 26170 Santa Ana, CA 92799 To be considered valid, a request for exclusion must include: (i) your full name; (ii) your address; (iii) a statement that you wish to be excluded from the settlement (for example, “I request to be excluded from the class action settlement in Okyeremah Nyannor v. Emerald City Pizza LLC”); and (iv) your (or your attorney’s) signature and date signed. You cannot exclude yourself by phone or email. Each individual who wants to be excluded from the settlement must submit his or her own request for exclusion. Group requests for exclusion are not permitted. 16. If I don’t exclude myself, can I sue Defendant for the same thing later? No. Unless you exclude yourself, you give up any right to sue Defendant for the claims being resolved by this settlement even if you do nothing. 17. If I exclude myself, can I get anything from this settlement? No. If you exclude yourself, you will not receive a settlement payment. Page 5 of 8 Notice 18. How do I object to the settlement? If you do not exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you can object to the settlement if you disagree with any part of it. You can give reasons why you think the Court should deny approval of the settlement by filing an objection. To object, you must file written notice with the Court stating that you object to the settlement in Okyeremah Nyannor v. Emerald City Pizza LLC, no later than November 23, 2026. Your objection must be filed with the Court, which you can do by mailing your objection and any supporting documents to King County Superior Court at the following address: King County Superior Court 401 Fourth Avenue North, Room 2D Kent, Washington 98032 If you are represented by an attorney, the attorney may file your objection through the Court’s e-filing system. To be valid, your objection must be in writing and include: (i) your full name, address, telephone number, and e- mail address; (ii) the case name and number; (iii) the reasons why you object to the settlement; (iv) the name and address of your attorney, if you have retained one; (v) a statement confirming whether you and/or your attorney intend to personally appear at the Final Approval Hearing; (vi) a list, by case name, court, and docket number, of all other cases in which you (directly or through an attorney) have filed an objection to any proposed class action settlement within the last three years; (vii) a list, by case name, court, and docket number, of all other cases in which your attorney (on behalf of any person or entity) has filed an objection to any proposed class action settlement within the last three years; and (viii) your (or your attorney’s) signature and date signed. In addition to filing your objection with the Court, you must also mail copies of your objection and any supporting documents to both Class Counsel and Defendant’s attorneys at the addresses listed below, postmarked no later than November 23, 2026: Class Counsel Defendant’s Counsel Timothy W. Emery Darren A. Feider Patrick B. Reddy Sebris Busto James Paul Cipriani 15375 SE 30th Pl., Ste 310 Emery Reddy, PC Bellevue, WA 98007 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. Page 6 of 8 Notice THE COURT’S FINAL APPROVAL HEARING 20.
