Information about how to submit a Claim Form to the Administrator in order to participate in the distribution of the Settlement Amount (as defined below) will be provided to Class Members in a second notice following the Settlement Approval Hearing (as defined below). BACKGROUND OF THE ACTIONS The Actions raise similar allegations and are based on the same set of alleged facts and issues relating to Wayland’s business practices and public filings and statements. The Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants made misrepresentations or failed to disclose a material change or material fact concerning Wayland, its operations and/or financial status, including in connection with its production facility located in Langton, Ontario and/or its Chief Executive Officer, Benjamin Ward, during the period of December 13, 2017 to August 2, 2019. The Settling Defendants (as defined below) deny all such allegations. Copies of the Statements of Claims for each of the Actions, as well as other legal documents associated with the Actions, can be found at: https://bergermontague.com/cases/wayland-group-corp/. On February 4, 2026, in connection with the proposed settlement (described below), the Court ordered, among other things, that the Actions be heard together and certified as class proceedings, for settlement purposes only, and granted the Plaintiffs in the Wayland Action and Stajic Action leave to proceed under section 138.8(1) of the Securities Act, RSO 1990, c S.5, as amended (the “OSA”) or equivalent securities legislation, to commence the actions under section 138.3 of the OSA or equivalent securities legislation. 1 “Excluded Persons” means each Settling Defendant, their respective family members, and any businesses in which they have a financial interest, and any investor who falls within the certified Class definition but who validly opts-out of the Actions. WHO ACTS FOR THE CLASS? Berger Montague (Canada) PC (“Class Counsel”) represents the proposed Class in all three Actions. If you want to be represented by another lawyer, you may hire one to appear in Court for you at your own expense. You will not have to directly pay any fees or expenses to Class Counsel. However, Class Counsel will seek to have their fees and expenses paid from any money obtained for the Class. PROPOSED SETTLEMENT WITH SETTLING DEFENDANTS The Plaintiffs in the Actions have entered into a proposed settlement with the Defendants in the Stajic Action, the Defendants in the Bordeleau-Tassile Action, and with the Defendant Wayland, through its Litigation Guardian, in the Wayland Action (together, the “Settling Defendants”). The proposed settlement does not include the defendant Benjamin Allan Ward (“Ward”). The Settlement Agreement, if approved and its conditions fulfilled, will settle, extinguish and bar all claims relating in any way to or arising out of the Actions (as against the Settling Defendants and proposed Releasees) or any allegation which could have been made in the Actions against the Settling Defendants. The Settlement Agreement, if approved and its conditions fulfilled, provides that CAD $8 million (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be paid by the Settling Defendants, or their insurers and reinsurers, into an interest bearing account for the benefit of the Class until such time that it is distributed in accordance with a Court- approved Plan of Allocation. The Settlement Amount shall be inclusive of all interest, fees, taxes and disbursements claimed by the Class, including all legal fees and disbursements paid to, incurred by and to be incurred by Class Counsel to complete the settlement. The proposed settlement shall be in full and final settlement of all claims against the Settling Defendants in the Actions. The proposed settlement with the Settling Defendants is subject to court approval, as discussed below. The Settlement Agreement may be viewed at https://bergermontague.com/cases/wayland-group-corp/. If the proposed settlement is approved by the Court: (i) the Stajic Action and Bordeleau-Tassile Action will be dismissed entirely on a without costs and with prejudice basis; and (ii) the Wayland Action will be dismissed against Wayland on a without costs and with prejudice basis, and will continue as against the remaining defendant in the Wayland Action, Benjamin Ward. SETTLEMENT APPROVAL HEARING On March 9, 2026 beginning at 10:00am E.S.T., there will be a hearing (the “Settlement Approval Hearing”) before the Court at which Class Counsel will seek the Court’s approval of (i) the Settlement Agreement; (ii) the fees and expense reimbursement requests of Class Counsel; and (iii) a plan of allocation and distribution of the Settlement Amount (the “Plan of Allocation”). The Settlement Approval Hearing will be held at the courthouse located at 130 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario, or virtually. At the Settlement Approval Hearing, the Court will determine whether the Settlement Amount and the Plan of Allocation are fair, reasonable and in the best interests of the Class. At that hearing, Class Counsel will also seek court approval of its request for fees and expense reimbursement. As is customary in class actions, Class Counsel has prosecuted these Actions on a contingent fee basis.
