Page 16 2 PSLRA SUMMARY OF THE NOTICE Statement of the Settlement Class’s Recovery 1. Subject to Court approval, Lead Plaintiffs, on behalf of the Settlement Class, have agreed to settle the Action in exchange for a payment of $35,000,000 in cash (the “Settlement Amount”), which will be deposited into an interest-bearing Escrow Account (the “Settlement Fund”). Based on Lead Plaintiffs’ consulting damages expert’s estimate of the number of shares of Hain common stock eligible to participate in the Settlement, and assuming that all investors eligible to participate in the Settlement do so, it is estimated that the average recovery, before deduction of any Court- approved fees and expenses, such as attorneys’ fees, Litigation Expenses, Taxes, and Notice and Administration Expenses, would be approximately $0.28 per allegedly damaged share of Hain common stock. If the Court approves Co- Lead Counsel’s Fee and Expense Application (discussed below), the average recovery would be approximately $0.18 per allegedly damaged share of Hain common stock. These average recovery amounts are only estimates, and Settlement Class Members may recover more or less than these estimates. An individual Settlement Class Member’s actual recovery will depend on several factors, as explained in the proposed Plan of Allocation beginning on page 11. Please refer to the Plan of Allocation for information on the calculation of your Recognized Claim. Statement of Potential Outcome of Case if the Action Continued to Be Litigated 2. The Parties disagree about both liability and damages and do not agree about the amount of damages that would be recoverable if Lead Plaintiffs were to prevail on each claim. The issues that the Parties disagree about include, for example: (i) whether Defendants made materially false and/or misleading misstatements that were actionable under the federal securities laws; (ii) whether such misstatements were made with the requisite level of intent; (iii) the amount by which the price of Hain common stock and call options was allegedly artificially inflated (or deflated in the case of put options), if at all, during the Class Period; and (iv) the extent to which factors unrelated to the alleged fraud, such as general market, economic, and industry conditions, influenced the trading prices of Hain common stock and options during the Class Period. 3. Defendants have denied and continue to deny any and all allegations of wrongdoing or fault asserted in the Action, deny that they have committed any act or omission giving rise to any liability or violation of law, and deny that Lead Plaintiffs and the Settlement Class have suffered any loss attributable to Defendants’ actions or omissions. Statement of Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses Sought 4. Co-Lead Counsel will apply to the Court, on behalf of all Plaintiffs’ Counsel, for attorneys’ fees from the Settlement Fund of no more than 33.3% of the Settlement Fund (i.e., $11,655,000, plus accrued interest). Co-Lead Counsel will also apply for payment of Litigation Expenses incurred in prosecuting the Action in an amount not to exceed $950,000, plus accrued interest, which may include an application pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”) for the reasonable costs and expenses (including lost wages) of Lead Plaintiffs directly related to their representation of the Settlement Class. If the Court approves Co-Lead Counsel’s Fee and Expense Application in full, the average amount of fees and expenses is estimated to be approximately $0.10 per allegedly damaged share of Hain common stock. A copy of the Fee and Expense Application will be posted on www.HainCelestialSecuritiesSettlement.com (the “Settlement Website”) after it has been filed with the Court. Reasons for the Settlement 5. For Lead Plaintiffs, the principal reason for the Settlement is the guaranteed cash benefit to the Settlement Class. This benefit must be compared to, among other factors, the uncertainty of being able to prove the allegations in the complaint; the risk that the Court may grant some or all of the anticipated motions to be filed by Defendants; the uncertainty of a greater recovery after a trial and appeals; and the difficulties and delays inherent in such litigation. 6. For Defendants, who deny all allegations of wrongdoing or liability whatsoever and deny that Settlement Class Members were damaged, the principal reasons for entering into the Settlement are to end the burden, expense, uncertainty, and risk of further litigation. Identification of Representatives 7. Lead Plaintiffs and the Settlement Class are represented by Co-Lead Counsel, Christine M.

Further information regarding the Action, the Settlement, and this Notice may be obtained by contacting the Claims Administrator: Hain Celestial Securities Settlement, c/o Verita Global, LLC, P.O. Box 301171, Los Angeles, CA 90030-1171, 888-808-6316, www.HainCelestialSecuritiesSettlement.com. Please Do Not Call the Court or Defendants with Questions About the Settlement. 3 BASIC INFORMATION 1. Why did I get the Postcard Notice or this Notice? 9. You may have received a Postcard Notice about the proposed Settlement. This long-form Notice provides additional information about the Settlement and related procedures. The Court authorized that the Postcard Notice or Notice be sent to you because you or someone in your family may have purchased or otherwise acquired Hain publicly traded common stock and/or call options on such stock, and/or sold Hain put options on such stock, during the Class Period. Receipt of the Postcard Notice or this Notice does not mean that you are a member of the Settlement Class or that you will be entitled to receive a payment. The Parties to the Action do not have access to your individual investment information. If you wish to be eligible for a payment, you are required to submit the Claim Form that is available at www.HainCelestialSecuritiesSettlement.com. See Question 8 below. 10. The Court directed that the Postcard Notice or Notice be sent to Settlement Class Members because they have a right to know about the proposed Settlement of this class action lawsuit, and about all of their options, before the Court decides whether to approve the Settlement. 11. The Court in charge of the Action is the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and the case is known as In re The Hain Celestial Group Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 2:16-cv-04581 (E.D.N.Y.). The case is assigned to Magistrate Judge Lee G. Dunst. 2. How do I know if I am part of the Settlement Class? 12. The Court directed that everyone who fits the following description is a Settlement Class Member and subject to the Settlement unless they are an excluded person (see Question 3 below) or take steps to exclude themselves from the Settlement Class (see Question 10 below): All persons and entities who or which purchased or otherwise acquired the publicly traded common stock of Hain, and/or exchange traded call and/or put options on such publicly traded common stock during the period from November 5, 2013 through February 10, 2017, both dates inclusive (the Class Period), and were allegedly damaged thereby. 13. If one of your mutual funds purchased Hain publicly traded common stock or call options, or sold Hain put options during the Class Period, that does not make you a Settlement Class Member, although your mutual fund may be. You are a Settlement Class Member only if you individually purchased or otherwise acquired Hain publicly traded common stock or call options, or sold Hain put options, during the Class Period. Check your investment records or contact your broker to see if you have any eligible purchases or acquisitions. The Parties to the Action do not independently have access to your trading information. 3. Are there exceptions to being included? 14. Yes. There are some individuals and entities who are excluded from the Settlement Class by definition. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (i) Defendants; (ii) members of the immediate families of any Defendant who is an individual; (iii) any person who was an officer, director, or control person of Hain during the Class Period, and members of their immediate families; (iv) any firm, trust, corporation, or other entity in which any excluded person or entity has or had a controlling interest and/or beneficial interest; (v) parents, affiliates, or subsidiaries of Hain; (vi) the Company’s employee retirement and benefit plan(s) and their participants or beneficiaries, to the extent they made purchases through such plan(s); (vii) the legal representatives, heirs, successors-in-interest, or assigns of any excluded person or entity, in their respective capacity as such; and (viii) any persons or entities who timely and validly seek exclusion from the Settlement Class in accordance with the procedures described in Question 10 below. 4. Why is this a class action? 15. In a class action, one or more persons or entities (in this case, Lead Plaintiffs), sue on behalf of people and entities who have similar claims. Together, these people and entities are a “class,” and each is a “class member.” A class action allows one court to resolve many similar claims in a single case that, if brought separately by individual people, might be too small economically to litigate. One court resolves the issues for all class members at the same time, except for those who exclude themselves, or “opt-out,” from the class. In this Action, the Court has appointed Rosewood and Gimpel to serve as Lead Plaintiffs and has appointed Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP (“Labaton”), Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP (“Glancy”), Law Offices of Howard G. Smith (“Smith), and Schall, Brown & Schwartz LLP (“Schall”) to serve as Co-Lead Counsel. 4 5. What is this case about and what has happened so far? 16. Hain is a health-focused marketer, manufacturer, and seller of organic and natural food and personal care products. The Company’s customer base consists principally of specialty and natural food distributors, supermarkets, natural food stores, retailers, and convenience stores. Lead Plaintiffs allege that Defendants engaged in a scheme to pull the Company’s sales revenue forward and make the Company’s business appear stronger than it actually was, allegedly artificially inflating the price of Hain’s common stock and call options (or deflating the price of its put options). The operative complaint alleges that, during the Class Period, Defendants misrepresented or failed to disclose that they offered Hain’s largest U.S. distributors significant concessions to purchase substantial quantities of product in advance of the distributors’ typical purchasing patterns. These alleged pull-forward or channel stuffing practices were not disclosed to investors as the reason behind the Company’s robust sales. The complaint also alleges Defendants improperly and prematurely recognized revenue on these undisclosed sales concessions, in violation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), which allegedly artificially inflated Hain’s reported financial results for FY 2014 and FY 2015, and the first three quarters of FY 2016. Lead Plaintiffs allege that the truth about Hain’s financial reporting came to light through a series of allegedly corrective disclosures on January 21, 2016, August 15, 2016, and February 10, 2017, causing Hain Securities’ prices to decline (or rise in the case of put options). 17. On June 5, 2017, the Honorable Arthur D. Spatt issued an order that, among other things, appointed Rosewood and Gimpel as Co-Lead Plaintiffs, and approved their selection of Co-Lead Counsel. On September 7, 2017, Lead Plaintiffs filed a Corrected Consolidated Class Action Complaint for Violations of Federal Securities Laws asserting claims against Defendants under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and against the Individual Defendants under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. 18. On October 3, 2017, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Lead Plaintiffs opposed the motion to dismiss on December 1, 2017. On March 29, 2019, the Court issued a Decision and Order granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss with leave to amend. 19. On May 6, 2019, Lead Plaintiffs filed the Second Amended Complaint. On June 20, 2019, Defendants filed their motions to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint (the “Second Motions to Dismiss”). Lead Plaintiffs opposed the Second Motions to Dismiss on August 5, 2019. On April 6, 2020, the Court issued a Decision and Order that granted Defendants’ Second Motions to Dismiss and dismissed the Second Amended Complaint with prejudice. 20. On May 5, 2020, Lead Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal, and on August 18, 2020, Lead Plaintiffs filed their opening brief with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Defendants filed their responsive brief on November 17, 2020, and Lead Plaintiffs filed their reply brief on December 8, 2020. On December 17, 2021, after oral argument, the Second Circuit issued an Opinion and Order vacating the judgment of the District Court and remanding the case for further consideration of Lead Plaintiffs’ scienter allegations in the Second Amended Complaint. 21. On April 14, 2022, the Court ordered further briefing on the Second Motions to Dismiss. On June 14, 2022, Judge Seybert referred Defendants’ Second Motions to Dismiss to Magistrate Judge Lee G. Dunst for a report and recommendation. 22. On October 13, 2022, Co-Lead Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel, among others, participated in an in- person mediation session before David Murphy of Phillips ADR Enterprises (the “Mediator”), a well-respected and experienced mediator. In advance of the session, the Parties submitted mediation statements to the Mediator. The session ended without any settlement being reached. 23. On November 4, 2022, Magistrate Dunst issued a Report & Recommendation granting Defendants’ Second Motions to Dismiss (“R&R”). On September 29, 2023, Judge Seybert issued an order adopting Magistrate Judge Dunst’s R&R as to scienter, and granting Defendants’ Second Motions to Dismiss. 24. On October 26, 2023, Lead Plaintiffs filed a second notice of appeal, and on February 12, 2024, Lead Plaintiffs filed their opening brief. On May 13, 2024, Defendants filed their responsive brief, and on June 3, 2024, Lead Plaintiffs filed their reply brief. On September 29, 2025, after oral argument, the Second Circuit issued an Opinion and Order vacating the judgment of the District Court, finding that falsity, scienter, and loss causation had been adequately pled, and remanding the case for discovery and further proceedings. Defendants’ motion for rehearing en banc and panel rehearing was subsequently denied, and the mandate issued on December 23, 2025. 5 25. Prior to the start of discovery in the Action, Lead Plaintiffs, through Co-Lead Counsel, conducted a thorough investigation relating to the claims, defenses, and underlying events and transactions that are the subject of the Action. This process included reviewing and analyzing: (i) documents filed publicly by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); (ii) publicly available information, including press releases, news articles, and other public statements issued by or concerning the Company and the Individual Defendants; (iii) research reports issued by financial analysts concerning the Company; (iv) other publicly available information and data concerning the Company; and (v) the applicable law governing the claims and potential defenses. Co-Lead Counsel contacted 82 former Hain employees and other persons with relevant knowledge. Co-Lead Counsel interviewed 27 of these individuals (eight of whom provided information used in the Second Amended Complaint and were designated as confidential witnesses or “CWs”). Co-Lead Counsel also consulted with experts on loss causation and damages issues. 26. On January 27, 2026, Defendants answered the Second Amended Complaint. Discovery commenced in January 2026. On February 6, 2026, Lead Plaintiffs and Defendants filed a joint Proposed Scheduling Order proposing case deadlines, including those related to discovery and class certification. On February 13, 2026, after holding an Initial Conference, the Court entered the Scheduling Order. 27. In February 2026, Co-Lead Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel began discussing the possibility of conducting a second mediation session with the Mediator. On April 24, 2026, Co-Lead Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel, among others, participated in a full-day, in-person mediation session before the Mediator. In advance of the session, the Parties submitted detailed mediation supplements to the Mediator, together with numerous supporting exhibits, which addressed both liability and damages issues. 28. On April 29, 2026, the Mediator made a Mediator’s proposal to resolve the Action. On May 4, 2026, the Parties accepted the Mediator’s proposal. The Parties memorialized their agreement in a Term Sheet that was executed on May 4, 2026, subject to the execution of a formal settlement agreement, related papers, and approval by the Court. On June 25, 2026, the Parties executed the Stipulation. 6. What are the reasons for the Settlement? 29. The Court did not finally decide in favor of Lead Plaintiffs or Defendants. Instead, both sides agreed to a settlement. Lead Plaintiffs and Co-Lead Counsel believe that the claims asserted in the Action have merit. They recognize, however, the expense and length of continued proceedings needed to pursue the claims through trial and appeals, as well as the difficulties in establishing liability and damages. Lead Plaintiffs and Co-Lead Counsel are mindful of the inherent problems of proof and the defenses to the claims alleged in the Action. As the litigation proceeded, they were able to better evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the allegations and chances of success in the Action. Based upon their investigation, prosecution, and mediation of the case, Lead Plaintiffs and Co-Lead Counsel have concluded that the terms and conditions of the Stipulation are fair, reasonable, and adequate to Lead Plaintiffs and the other members of the Settlement Class, and in their best interests. 30. Defendants have denied and continue to deny each and every claim alleged by Lead Plaintiffs in the Action, including all claims in the Second Amended Complaint, and specifically deny any wrongdoing and that they have committed any act or omission giving rise to any liability or violation of law. Defendants deny that any member of the Settlement Class has suffered damages or that the prices of Hain Securities were artificially inflated (or deflated) by reason of the alleged misrepresentations, omissions, or otherwise. Nonetheless, Defendants have concluded that continuation of the Action would be protracted and expensive, and have taken into account the uncertainty and risks inherent in any litigation, especially a complex case like this Action. THE SETTLEMENT BENEFITS 7. What does the Settlement provide? 31. In exchange for the Settlement and the release of the Released Plaintiffs’ Claims against the Released Defendant Parties (see Question 9 below), Defendants have agreed to cause a $35,000,000 payment to be made using insurance proceeds, which, along with any interest earned, and after deduction of Court-awarded attorneys’ fees and Litigation Expenses, Notice and Administration Expenses, Taxes, and any other fees or expenses approved by the Court (the “Net Settlement Fund”), will be distributed to Settlement Class Members who submit valid and timely Claim Forms that are found to be eligible to receive a distribution from the Net Settlement Fund. 8. How can I receive a payment? 32. To qualify for a payment from the Net Settlement Fund, you must submit a timely and valid Claim Form. You may obtain one from the Settlement Website: www.HainCelestialSecuritiesSettlement.com, or from Labaton’s website: www.labaton.com. You can also request that a Claim Form be mailed to you by calling the Claims Administrator toll-free at 888-808-6316. 6 33. Please read the instructions contained in the Claim Form carefully, fill out the form, include all the documents the form requests, sign it, and mail or submit it to the Claims Administrator so that it is postmarked or received no later than October 13, 2026. Alternatively, you may submit a Claim Form and supporting documentation on the Settlement Website, www.HainCelestialSecuritiesSettlement.com. 9. What am I giving up to receive a payment and by staying in the Settlement Class? 34. If you are a Settlement Class Member and do not timely and validly exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you will remain in the Settlement Class and that means that, upon the Effective Date of the Settlement, you will release all Released Plaintiffs’ Claims against the Released Defendant Parties. All of the Court’s orders about the Settlement, whether favorable or unfavorable, will apply to you and legally bind you. (a) “Released Plaintiffs’ Claims” means any and all claims and causes of action of every nature and description, whether known or Unknown Claims (defined below), contingent or absolute, mature or not mature, liquidated or unliquidated, accrued or not accrued, concealed or hidden, regardless of legal or equitable theory and whether arising under federal, state, common or foreign law, that Lead Plaintiffs or any other member of the Settlement Class: (a) asserted in the Action or (b) could have asserted in the Action, or in any forum, that arise out of, are based upon, or relate to in any way both: (1) the allegations, transactions, facts, matters, occurrences, representations, or omissions involved, set forth, or referred to in the complaints filed in the Action and (2) the purchase or acquisition of Hain Securities during the period from November 5, 2013 through February 10, 2017. For the avoidance of doubt, Released Plaintiffs’ Claims shall not include: (i) claims to enforce the Settlement; and (ii) claims in any shareholder derivative action, including In re The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., Stockholder Class and Derivative Litigation, Case, 2:17-CV-02351 (E.D.N.Y.). (b) “Released Defendant Parties” means Defendants and each and all of their Related Parties and Defendants’ Counsel. (c) “Related Parties” means each of a Defendant’s respective past, present, or future direct or indirect parents, subsidiaries, divisions, branches, control persons, associates, entities, affiliates or joint ventures, as well as each of their respective past or present directors, officers, employees, managers, managing directors, supervisors, contractors, consultants, servants, general partners, limited partners, partnerships, members, principals, trusts, trustees, advisors, auditors, accountants, agents, underwriters, insurers, co-insurers, reinsurers, controlling shareholders, attorneys, fiduciaries, financial or investment advisors or consultants, banks or investment bankers, personal or legal representatives, counsel, agents, predecessors, predecessors-in- interest, successors, assigns, spouses, heirs, executors, administrators, legal or personal representatives of each of them in their capacities as such, related or affiliated entities, anyone acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of any of them or their successors, heirs or assigns, any other entities in which a Defendant has or had a controlling interest, any immediate family member of an Individual Defendant, any trust of which any Defendant is the settlor or which is for the benefit of any Defendant and/or member(s) of his or her family, and the legal representatives, heirs, successors in interest, or assigns of Defendants. (d) “Unknown Claims” means (i) any and all Released Plaintiffs’ Claims against Released Defendant Parties which Lead Plaintiffs or any Settlement Class Members do not know or suspect to exist in his, her, or its favor as of the Effective Date, which, if known by such party, might have affected such party’s settlement with and release of the Released Defendant Parties, or might have affected such party’s decision not to object to this Settlement; and (ii) any and all Released Defendants’ Claims that any Defendant does not know or suspect to exist in his, her, or its favor at the time of the release of the Released Plaintiff Parties, which, if known by him, her, or it, might have affected his, her, or its decision(s) with respect to the Settlement, including the decision to object to the terms of the Settlement or to exclude himself, herself, or itself from the Settlement Class. With respect to any and all Released Plaintiffs’ Claims and Released Defendants’ Claims, the Parties stipulate and agree that, by operation of the Judgment or Alternative Judgment, upon the Effective Date, Lead Plaintiffs and Defendants shall have expressly waived, and each other Settlement Class Member shall be deemed to have waived, and by operation of the Judgment or Alternative Judgment shall have, to the fullest extent permitted by law, expressly waived and relinquished any and all provisions, rights, and benefits conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States or foreign law, or principle of common law, which is similar, comparable, or equivalent to Cal. Civ. Code § 1542, which provides: A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party. Lead Plaintiffs, other Settlement Class Members, or Defendants may hereafter discover facts, legal theories, or authorities in addition to or different from those, which he, she, or it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Released Plaintiffs’ Claims and the Released Defendants’ Claims, but 7 Lead Plaintiffs and Defendants shall expressly, fully, finally, and forever waive, compromise, settle, discharge, extinguish, and release, and each Settlement Class Member shall be deemed to have waived, compromised, settled, discharged, extinguished, and released, and upon the Effective Date and by operation of the Judgment or Alternative Judgment shall have waived, compromised, settled, discharged, extinguished, and released, fully, finally, and forever, any and all Released Plaintiffs’ Claims and Released Defendants’ Claims as applicable, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or absolute, accrued or unaccrued, apparent or unapparent, which now exist, or heretofore existed, or may hereafter exist, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such different or additional facts, legal theories, or authorities. Lead Plaintiffs and Defendants acknowledge, and other Settlement Class Members by operation of law shall be deemed to have acknowledged, that the inclusion of “Unknown Claims” in the definition of Released Plaintiffs’ Claims and Released Defendants’ Claims was separately bargained for and was a material element of the Settlement. 35. The “Effective Date” will occur when an Order entered by the Court approving the Settlement becomes Final and is not subject to appeal, and the Settlement Amount has been paid. 36. Upon the Effective Date, Defendants will also provide a release of any claims against Lead Plaintiffs, the Settlement Class, and Co-Lead Counsel arising out of or related to the institution, prosecution, or settlement of the claims in the Action, except for claims relating to the enforcement of the Settlement or any claims against any Person who submits a request for exclusion that is accepted by the Court. EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT CLASS 37. If you want to keep any right you may have to sue or continue to sue Defendants and the other Released Defendant Parties on your own concerning the Released Plaintiffs’ Claims, then you must take steps to remove yourself from the Settlement Class. This is called excluding yourself or “opting out.” Please note: If you decide to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, there is a risk that any lawsuit you may file to pursue claims alleged in the Action may be dismissed, including because it is barred by the relevant statutes of limitations and/or repose. Defendants have the option to terminate the Settlement if a certain amount of Settlement Class Members request exclusion. 10. How do I exclude myself from the Settlement Class? 38. To exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you must mail a signed letter stating that you request to be “excluded from the Settlement Class in In re The Hain Celestial Group Inc. Sec. Litig., No. 16-cv-04581 (E.D.N.Y.).” You cannot exclude yourself by telephone or email. Each request for exclusion must also: (i) state the name, address, email address (if any), and telephone number of the Person seeking exclusion; (ii) state the date(s), price(s), and number(s) of shares or contracts for each purchase/acquisitions and sale (if any) of any Hain Securities (publicly traded common stock, and/or exchange traded put and/or call options) during the Class Period; and (iii) be signed by the Person requesting exclusion. A request for exclusion must be mailed so that it is received no later than October 7, 2026 at: Hain Celestial Securities Settlement c/o Verita Global, LLC EXCLUSIONS P.O. Box 301171 Los Angeles, CA 90030-1171 39. Your exclusion request must comply with these requirements in order to be valid. 40. If you ask to be excluded, do not submit a Claim Form because you cannot receive any payment from the Net Settlement Fund. Also, you cannot object to the Settlement because you will not be a Settlement Class Member and the Settlement will not affect you. If you submit a valid exclusion request, you will not be legally bound by anything that happens in the Action, and you may be able to sue (or continue to sue) Defendants and the other Released Defendant Parties in the future. 11. If I do not exclude myself, can I sue Defendants and the other Released Defendant Parties for the same reasons later? 41. No. Unless you properly exclude yourself, you will give up any rights to sue Defendants and the other Released Defendant Parties for any and all Released Plaintiffs’ Claims. If you have a pending lawsuit against any of the Released Defendant Parties, speak to your lawyer in that case immediately. You must exclude yourself from this Settlement Class to continue your own lawsuit. Remember, the exclusion deadline is October 7, 2026. THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING YOU 12. Do I have a lawyer in this case? 42. Labaton, Glancy, Smith, and Schall are Co-Lead Counsel in the Action and represent all Settlement Class Members. You will not be separately charged for these lawyers. The Court will determine the amount of attorneys’ fees 8 and Litigation Expenses, which will be paid from the Settlement Fund. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer, you may hire one at your own expense. 13. How will the lawyers be paid? 43. Plaintiffs’ Counsel have been prosecuting the Action for over nine (9) years on a fully contingent basis. This means that they have not been paid for any of their work, or reimbursed for any of the costs and expenses they have incurred. Co-Lead Counsel will seek, on behalf of all Plaintiffs’ Counsel, an attorneys’ fee award of no more than 33.3% of the Settlement Fund, or $11,655,000, plus accrued interest. Co-Lead Counsel will also seek payment of Litigation Expenses incurred in the prosecution of the Action of no more than $950,000, plus accrued interest, which may include an application by Lead Plaintiffs for their reasonable costs and expenses (including lost wages) related to their representation of the Settlement Class, pursuant to the PSLRA. 44. The Fee and Expense Application will be made collectively on behalf of Labaton, Glancy, Smith, and Schall. Any attorneys’ fees awarded by the Court will be divided between Labaton (75% of awarded fees) and Glancy (25% of awarded fees). Schall will share up to 4.65% of the attorneys’ fee allocated to Labaton, pursuant to a fee sharing agreement between them. Glancy intends to share a portion of its attorneys’ fees with Smith based upon Smith’s contributions to the case. Any attorneys’ fees and expenses awarded by the Court will be paid from the Settlement Fund. Settlement Class Members are not personally liable for any such fees or expenses. OBJECTING TO THE SETTLEMENT, THE PLAN OF ALLOCATION, OR THE FEE AND EXPENSE APPLICATION 14. How do I tell the Court that I do not like something about the proposed Settlement? 45. Any Settlement Class Member who or which does not request exclusion may object to the Settlement or any of its terms, the proposed Plan of Allocation of the Net Settlement Fund, and/or the Fee and Expense Application. You may write to the Court about why you think the Court should not approve any or all of the Settlement terms or related relief. If you would like the Court to consider your views, you must file a proper objection within the deadline, and according to the following procedures. 46. Objections must be in writing. To object, you must send a signed letter stating that you object to the proposed Settlement, the Plan of Allocation, and/or the Fee and Expense Application in “In re The Hain Celestial Group Inc. Sec. Litig., No. 16-cv-04581 (E.D.N.Y.).” The objection must also: (i) state the name, address, telephone number, and email address (if any) of the objector and must be signed by the objector; (ii) contain a statement of the objection or objections and the specific reasons for the objection, including whether it applies only to the objector, to a specific subset of the Settlement Class, or to the entire Settlement Class, and any legal and evidentiary support (including witnesses) the Settlement Class Member wishes to bring to the Court’s attention; and (iii) include documents sufficient to show the objector’s membership in the Settlement Class, including the number of shares of Hain publicly traded common stock, put options and call options purchased/acquired and sold (if any) during the Class Period, as well as the dates and prices of each such purchase, acquisition, and sale. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, any Settlement Class Member who does not object in the manner described in this Notice will be deemed to have waived any objection and will be foreclosed from making any objection to the proposed Settlement, the Plan of Allocation, and/or the Fee and Expense Application. Your objection must be filed with the Court no later than October 7, 2026 and be mailed or delivered to the following counsel so that it is received no later than October 7, 2026: Court Co-Lead Counsel Representatives Defendants’ Counsel Clerk of the Court Labaton Keller Sucharow LLP DLA Piper LLP (US) United States District Court Christine M. Fox, Esq. John Hillebrecht, Esq. Eastern District of New York 140 Broadway 1251 Avenue of the Americas 100 Federal Plaza New York, NY 10005 New York, NY 10020 Central Islip, NY 11722 -and- Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP Leanne Heine Solish, Esq. 1925 Century Park East Suite 2100 Los Angeles, CA 90067 47. You do not need to attend the Settlement Hearing to have your written objection considered by the Court. However, any Settlement Class Member who has complied with the procedures described in this Question 14 and below in Question 18 may appear at the Settlement Hearing and be heard, to the extent allowed by the Court. An objector may appear in person or arrange, at his, her, or its own expense, for a lawyer to represent him, her, or it at the Settlement 9 Hearing. If you decide to hire an attorney, that attorney must file a notice of appearance with the Court and serve it on Co-Lead Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel at the addresses in ¶46 above so that the notice is received on or before October 7, 2026. 15. What is the difference between objecting and seeking exclusion? 48. Objecting is telling the Court that you do not like something about the proposed Settlement, Plan of Allocation, or the Fee and Expense Application. You can still recover money from the Settlement. You can object only if you stay in the Settlement Class. Excluding yourself is telling the Court that you do not want to be part of the Settlement Class. If you exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you have no basis to object because the Settlement and the Action no longer affect you. THE SETTLEMENT HEARING 16. When and where will the Court decide whether to approve the Settlement? 49. The Court will hold the Settlement Hearing on October 28, 2026, at 11:00 A.M. (ET) remotely via telephone. To join the hearing, dial 669-254-5252, enter Meeting ID: 165 624 3344, and enter Passcode: 921609. 50. At this hearing, the Court will consider whether: (i) the Settlement is fair, reasonable, adequate, and should be approved; (ii) the proposed Plan of Allocation is fair and reasonable, and should be approved; and (iii) if Co- Lead Counsel’s Fee and Expense Application should be approved. The Court will take into consideration any written objections filed in accordance with the instructions in Question 14 above. We do not know how long it will take the Court to make these decisions. 51. The Court may change the date and time of the Settlement Hearing, or hold the hearing remotely, without another individual notice being sent to Settlement Class Members. If you want to attend the hearing, you should check with Co-Lead Counsel beforehand to be sure that the date and/or time has not changed, or periodically check the Settlement Website at www.HainCelestialSecuritiesSettlement.com to see if the Settlement Hearing stays as scheduled or is changed. 17. Do I have to come to the Settlement Hearing? 52. No. Co-Lead Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. But, you are welcome to attend at your own expense. If you submit a valid and timely objection, the Court will consider it, and you do not have to come to Court to discuss it. You may have your own lawyer attend (at your own expense), but it is not required. If you do hire your own lawyer, he or she must file and serve a Notice of Appearance in the manner described in the answer to Question 18 below so that the notice is received on or before October 7, 2026. 18. May I speak at the Settlement Hearing? 53. You may ask the Court for permission to speak at the Settlement Hearing. To do so, you must, no later than October 7, 2026, submit a statement that you, or your attorney, intend to appear in “In re The Hain Celestial Group Inc. Sec. Litig., No. 16-cv-04581 (E.D.N.Y.).” If you intend to present evidence at the Settlement Hearing, you must also include in your objection (prepared and submitted according to the answer to Question 14 above) the identities of any witnesses you may wish to call to testify and any exhibits you intend to introduce into evidence at the Settlement Hearing. You may not speak at the Settlement Hearing if you exclude yourself from the Settlement Class or if you have not provided written notice of your intention to speak at the Settlement Hearing in accordance with the procedures described in this Question 18 and Question 14 above. IF YOU DO NOTHING 19. What happens if I do nothing at all? 54. If you do nothing and you are a member of the Settlement Class, you will not receive any money from this Settlement, and you will be precluded from starting a lawsuit, continuing with a lawsuit, or being part of any other lawsuit against Defendants and the other Released Defendant Parties concerning the Released Plaintiffs’ Claims. To share in the Net Settlement Fund, you must submit a Claim Form (see Question 8 above). To start, continue, or be a part of any other lawsuit against Defendants and the other Released Defendant Parties concerning the Released Plaintiffs’ Claims, you must exclude yourself from the Settlement Class (see Question 10 above).

Please Do Not Call the Court with Questions About the Settlement. PLAN OF ALLOCATION OF THE NET SETTLEMENT FUND 21. How will my claim be calculated? 57. The Plan of Allocation below is the plan for calculating claims and distributing the proceeds of the Settlement that is being proposed by Lead Plaintiffs and Co-Lead Counsel to the Court for approval. The Court may approve this Plan of Allocation or modify it without additional notice to the Settlement Class. Any order modifying the Plan of Allocation will be posted on the Settlement website www.HainCelestialSecuritiesSettlement.com. 58. As noted above, the Settlement Amount and the interest it earns is the Settlement Fund. The Settlement Fund, after deduction of Court-approved attorneys’ fees and Litigation Expenses, Notice and Administration Expenses, Taxes, and any other fees or expenses approved by the Court is the Net Settlement Fund. If the Settlement is approved by the Court, the Net Settlement Fund will be distributed to members of the Settlement Class who timely submit valid Claim Forms that show a “Recognized Claim” according to the proposed Plan of Allocation (or any other plan of allocation approved by the Court) (“Authorized Claimants”). 59. The objective of this Plan of Allocation is to equitably distribute the Net Settlement Fund among those Settlement Class Members who suffered economic losses as a result of the alleged violations of the federal securities law with respect to Hain Securities traded during the Class Period (November 5, 2013 through February 10, 2017). The Plan of Allocation measures the amount of loss that a Settlement Class Member can claim for purposes of making proportional pro rata allocations of the Net Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants. The Claims Administrator will calculate Claimants’ claims and shall determine each Authorized Claimant’s pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund based upon each Authorized Claimant’s Recognized Claim, as defined below. 60. To design this Plan of Allocation, Co-Lead Counsel conferred with Lead Plaintiffs’ consulting damages expert. The Plan of Allocation, however, is not a formal damages analysis. The calculations made pursuant to the Plan of Allocation are not intended to estimate, or be indicative of, the amounts that Settlement Class Members might have been able to recover as damages after a trial. Nor are the calculations, including the Recognized Loss formulas, intended to estimate the amounts that will be paid to Authorized Claimants. The computations under the Plan of Allocation are only a method to weigh the claims of Authorized Claimants against one another for the purposes of making pro rata allocations of the Net Settlement Fund, and the Recognized Claim amounts are the basis upon which the Net Settlement Fund will be proportionately allocated to Authorized Claimants. 61. Claims asserted in the Action pursuant to Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act serve as the basis for calculating the Recognized Loss Amounts under the Plan of Allocation. For losses to be compensable damages under the federal securities laws, the disclosure of the allegedly misrepresented information must be the cause of the decline in the price of the securities at issue. In this case, Lead Plaintiffs allege that Defendants issued false statements and omitted material facts during the Class Period that allegedly artificially inflated the price of Hain common stock and exchange traded call options, while artificially deflating the price of exchange traded put options. It is alleged that corrective information released to the market after market close on January 21, 2016, August 15, 2016, and February 10, 2017, negatively impacted the market price of Hain Securities on January 22, 2016, August 16, 2016, and on February 13, 2017 2 in a statistically significant manner and removed alleged artificial inflation (or deflation) from the price of Hain Securities on those days. Accordingly, in order to have a compensable loss in this Settlement, a Settlement Class Member must have (i) held eligible shares of Hain common stock or call options through at least one of the alleged corrective disclosure dates listed above, or (ii) with respect to eligible put options, such option(s) must have remained open through at least one of the alleged corrective disclosure dates listed above. CALCULATION OF RECOGNIZED LOSS AMOUNTS 62. A “Recognized Loss Amount” will be calculated by the Claims Administrator, as set forth below, for each purchase/acquisition of Hain common stock and exchange traded call options and each sale (writing) of exchange traded put options during the Class Period that is listed in the Claim Form and for which adequate documentation is provided. 2 February 13, 2017 is the market date for when the allegedly corrective information was revealed, because February 11, 2017 is not a trading date. 11 To the extent that the calculation of a Claimant’s Recognized Loss Amount results in a negative number (a gain), that number shall be set to zero. The sum of a Claimant’s Recognized Loss Amounts will be their “Recognized Claim.” An Authorized Claimant’s Recognized Claim shall be the amount used to calculate the Authorized Claimant’s pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund. 63. If a Settlement Class Member has more than one purchase/acquisition or sale of Hain common stock or exchange traded options during the Class Period, all purchases/acquisitions and sales of the like security shall be matched on a First In, First Out (“FIFO”) basis. Class Period sales will be matched first against any holdings at the beginning of the Class Period and then against purchases/acquisitions in chronological order, beginning with the earliest purchase/acquisition made during the Class Period. With respect to Hain common stock and call options, Class Period sales will be matched first against any holdings at the beginning of the Class Period and then against purchases/acquisitions in chronological order, beginning with the earliest purchase/acquisition made during the Class Period. For Hain put options, Class Period purchases will be matched first to close-out positions open at the beginning of the Class Period, and then against put options sold (written) during the Class Period in chronological order. 64. Any transactions in Hain common stock and options executed outside of regular trading hours for the U.S. financial markets shall be deemed to have occurred during the next regular trading session. Common Stock Calculations 65. For each Hain common stock purchased or otherwise acquired during the Class Period and sold before the close of trading on May 12, 2017, an “Out of Pocket Loss” will be calculated. Out of Pocket Loss is defined as the purchase price (excluding all fees, taxes, and commissions) minus the sale price (excluding all fees, taxes, and commissions). To the extent that the calculation of the Out of Pocket Loss results in a negative number, that number shall be set to zero. 66. For each share of Hain common stock purchased from November 5, 2013 through and including February 10, 2017, and: A. Sold before January 22, 2016, the Recognized Loss Amount for each share shall be zero. B. Sold from January 22, 2016 through February 10, 2017, the Recognized Loss Amount for each such share shall be the lesser of: 1. the dollar artificial inflation applicable to each share on the date of purchase/acquisition as set forth in Table 1 3 below minus the dollar artificial inflation applicable to each share on the date of sale as set forth in Table 1 below; or 2. the Out of Pocket Loss. C. Sold from February 11, 2017 through May 12, 2017, the Recognized Loss Amount for each such share shall be the least of: 1. the dollar artificial inflation applicable to each such share on the date of purchase/acquisition as set forth in Table 1 below; or 2. the actual purchase/acquisition price of each share minus the average closing price from February 11, 2017, 4 up to the date of sale as set forth in Table 2 below; or 3. the Out of Pocket Loss. D. Held as of the close of trading on May 12, 2017, the Recognized Loss Amount for each share shall be the lesser of: 1. the dollar artificial inflation applicable to each share on the date of purchase/acquisition as set forth in Table 1 below; or 2. the actual purchase/acquisition price of each share minus $36.41. 5 3 Tables 2 to 4 appear at the end of this Notice. 4 Because the final corrective disclosure occurred after market close on Friday, February 10, 2017, the pricing data for the 90-day lookback does not begin until the following trading date, Monday, February 13, 2017. 5 Pursuant to Section 21D(e)(1) of the Exchange Act, “in any private action arising under this title in which the plaintiff seeks to establish damages by reference to the market price of a security, the award of damages to the plaintiff shall not exceed the difference between the purchase or sale price paid or received, as appropriate, by the plaintiff for the subject security and the mean trading price of that security during the 90-day period beginning on the date on which the information correcting the misstatement or omission that is the basis for the action is disseminated to the market.” Consistent with the requirements of the Exchange Act, Recognized Loss Amounts are reduced to an appropriate extent by taking into account the closing prices of Hain common stock during the “90-day look-back period,” February 11, 2017 through May 12, 2017 (officially beginning on the first market date, February 13, 2017). The mean (average) closing price for Hain common stock during this 90-day look-back period was $36.41. 12 TABLE 1 Hain Common Stock Alleged Artificial Inflation for Purposes of Calculating Purchase and Sale Inflation Transaction Date Artificial Inflation Per Share November 5, 2013 - January 21, 2016 $18.87 January 22, 2016 - August 15, 2016 $17.20 August 16, 2016 - February 10, 2017 $3.57 Call and Put Options Calculations 67. Publicly traded options are traded in units called “contracts,” which entitle the holder to buy (in the case of a call option) or sell (in the case of a put option) 100 shares of the underlying security, which in this case is Hain common stock. Throughout this Plan of Allocation, all price quotations of publicly traded options are per share of the underlying security (i.e., 1/100 of a contract). 68. Each option contract specifies a strike price and an expiration date. Contracts with the same strike price and expiration date are referred to as a “series.” Under the Plan of Allocation, the dollar artificial inflation per share (i.e., 1/100 of a contract) for each series of Hain call options and the dollar artificial deflation per share (i.e., 1/100 of a contract) for each series of Hain put options has been calculated by Lead Plaintiffs’ damages expert. 69. Transactions in Hain options that expired before January 22, 2016 have a Recognized Loss Amount of zero under the Plan of Allocation. 70. Table 3 sets forth the dollar artificial inflation per share in Hain call options during the Class Period. Table 4 sets forth the dollar artificial deflation per share in Hain put options during the Class Period. Tables 3 and 4 list only series of Hain options that expired on or after January 22, 2016—the date of the first alleged corrective disclosure. 71. For each Hain call option purchased or otherwise acquired during the Class Period and closed (through sale, exercise, or expiration) on or after January 22, 2016 and before February 11, 2017, and for each Hain put option sold (written) during the Class Period and closed (through purchase, exercise, or expiration) on or after January 22, 2016 and before February 11, 2017, an “Out of Pocket Loss” will be calculated. For Hain call options closed through sale, the Out of Pocket Loss is the purchase/acquisition price (excluding all fees, taxes, and commissions) minus the sale price (excluding all fees, taxes, and commissions). For Hain call options closed through exercise or expiration, the Out of Pocket Loss is the purchase/acquisition price (excluding all fees, taxes, and commissions) minus the value per option on the date of exercise or expiration. 6 For Hain put options closed through purchase, the Out of Pocket Loss is the purchase/acquisition price (excluding all fees, taxes, and commissions) minus the sale price (excluding all fees, taxes, and commissions). For Hain put options closed through exercise or expiration, the Out of Pocket Loss is the value per option on the date of exercise or expiration minus the sale price (excluding all fees, taxes, and commissions). 7 To the extent that the calculation of the Out of Pocket Loss results in a negative number, that number shall be set to zero. 6 The “value” of the call option on the date of exercise or expiration shall be the closing price of Hain common stock on the date of exercise or expiration minus the strike price of the option. If this number is less than zero, the value of the call option is zero. 7 The “value” of the put option on the date of exercise or expiration shall be the strike price of the option minus the closing price of Hain common stock on the date of exercise or expiration. If this number is less than zero, the value of the put option is zero. 13 72. For each Hain publicly traded call option purchased or acquired from November 5, 2013 through and including February 10, 2017 and: A. Closed (through sale, exercise, or expiration) prior to January 22, 2016, the Recognized Loss Amount for each such share shall be zero. B. Closed (through sale, exercise, or expiration) on or after January 22, 2016 and prior to February 11, 2017, the Recognized Loss Amount for each such share shall be the lesser of: 1. the dollar artificial inflation applicable to each such share on the date of purchase/acquisition as set forth in Table 3 below minus the dollar artificial inflation applicable to each such share on the date of close as set forth in Table 3 below; or 2. the Out of Pocket Loss. C. Open as of February 11, 2017, the Recognized Loss Amount for each such share shall be the lesser of: 1. the dollar artificial inflation applicable to each such share on the date of purchase/acquisition as set forth in Table 3 below; or 2. the actual purchase/acquisition price of each such share minus the closing price on February 13, 2017 8 (i.e., the “Holding Price”) as set forth in Table 3 below. 73. For each Hain publicly traded call option purchased or acquired on February 11, 2017, the Recognized Loss Amount for each such share shall be zero. 74. For each Hain publicly traded put option sold (written) from November 5, 2013 through and including February 10, 2017 and: A. Closed (through purchase, exercise, or expiration) prior to January 22, 2016, the Recognized Loss Amount for each such share shall be zero. B. Closed (through purchase, exercise, or expiration) on or after January 22, 2016 and prior to February 11, 2017, the Recognized Loss Amount for each such share shall be the lesser of: 1. the dollar artificial deflation applicable to each such share on the date of sale (writing) as set forth in Table 4 below minus the dollar artificial deflation applicable to each such share on the date of close as set forth in Table 4 below; or 2. the Out of Pocket Loss. C. Open as of February 11, 2017, the Recognized Loss Amount for each such share shall be the lesser of: 1. the dollar artificial deflation applicable to each such share on the date of sale (writing) as set forth in Table 4 below; or 2. the closing price on February 13, 2017 9 (i.e., the “Holding Price”) as set forth in Table 4 below minus the sale (writing) price. 75. For each Hain publicly traded put option sold (written) on February 11, 2017, the Recognized Loss Amount for each such share shall be zero. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN OF ALLOCATION 76. Hain publicly traded common stock, exchange traded call options on Hain common stock, and exchange traded put options on Hain common stock, are the only securities eligible for a recovery from the Settlement. With respect to Hain common stock purchased or sold through the exercise of an option, the purchase/sale date of the Hain common stock is the exercise date of the option and the purchase/sale price is the exercise price of the option. 77. “Purchase/Sale” Prices: For the purposes of calculations under this Plan of Allocation, “purchase/acquisition price” means the actual price paid, excluding all fees, taxes, and commissions, and “sale price” means the actual price sold at, not deducting any fees, taxes, and commissions. “Purchase/Sale” Dates: Purchases, acquisitions, and sales of Hain common stock and Hain exchange traded call and put options will be deemed to have occurred on the “contract” or “trade” date as opposed to the “settlement” or “payment” or “sale” date. 8 February 13, 2017 is used in place of February 11, 2017, because February 11, 2017 is not a trading date. 9 February 13, 2017 is used in place of February 11, 2017, because February 11, 2017 is not a trading date. 14 78. The receipt or grant by gift, inheritance, or operation of law of Hain Securities during the Class Period will not be deemed a purchase, acquisition, or sale of such Hain Securities for the calculation of a Claimant’s Recognized Claim, nor will the receipt or grant be deemed an assignment of any claim relating to the purchase/acquisition/sale of Hain Securities, unless: (i) the donor or decedent purchased/acquired/sold such Hain Securities during the Class Period; (ii) no Claim was submitted by or on behalf of the donor, on behalf of the decedent, or by anyone else with respect to such Hain Securities; and (iii) it is specifically so provided in the instrument of gift or assignment. 79. In accordance with the Plan of Allocation, the Recognized Loss Amount on any portion of a purchase or acquisition that matches against (or “covers”) a “short sale ” is zero. The Recognized Loss Amount on a “short sale” that is not covered by a purchase or acquisition is also zero. If a Claimant has an opening short position in Hain common stock at the start of the Class Period, the earliest Class Period purchases or acquisitions shall be matched against such opening short position in accordance with the FIFO matching described above, and any portion of such purchases or acquisitions that covers such short sales will not be entitled to recovery. If a Claimant newly establishes a short position during the Class Period, the earliest subsequent Class Period purchase or acquisition shall be matched against such short position on a FIFO basis and will not be entitled to a recovery. 80. If the sum total of Recognized Claims of all Authorized Claimants who are entitled to receive payment out of the Net Settlement Fund is greater than the Net Settlement Fund, each Authorized Claimant will receive his, her, or its pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund. The pro rata share will be the Authorized Claimant’s Recognized Claim divided by the total of Recognized Claims of all Authorized Claimants, multiplied by the total amount in the Net Settlement Fund. If the Net Settlement Fund exceeds the sum total amount of the Recognized Claims of all Authorized Claimants entitled to receive payment out of the Net Settlement Fund, the excess amount in the Net Settlement Fund will be distributed pro rata to all Authorized Claimants entitled to receive payment. 81. The Net Settlement Fund will be allocated among all Authorized Claimants whose prorated payment is $10.00 or greater. If the prorated payment to any Authorized Claimant calculates to less than $10.00, it will not be included in the calculation and no distribution will be made to that Authorized Claimant. 82. Settlement Class Members who do not submit acceptable Claim Forms will not share in the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund, however they will nevertheless be bound by the Settlement and the final Judgment of the Court dismissing this Action and related claims. 83. Distributions will be made to Authorized Claimants after all claims have been processed and after the Court has finally approved the Settlement and the Settlement has reached its Effective Date. If there is any balance remaining in the Net Settlement Fund (whether by reason of tax refunds, uncashed checks, or otherwise) after at least six (6) months from the date of initial distribution of the Net Settlement Fund, the Claims Administrator shall, if feasible and economical after payment of Notice and Administration Expenses, Taxes, and attorneys’ fees and Litigation Expenses, if any, redistribute such balance, in an equitable and economic fashion, among Authorized Claimants who have cashed their checks. These redistributions shall be repeated until the balance in the Net Settlement Fund is no longer feasible or economical to distribute. Any balance that still remains in the Net Settlement Fund after such re- distribution(s) and after payment of outstanding Notice and Administration Expenses, Taxes, and attorneys’ fees and expenses, if any, shall be divided equally between Consumer Federation of America and Council for Economic Education, non-sectarian, not-for-profit organizations serving the public interest, or such other non-sectarian, not-for-profit organization approved by the Court. 84.
