CONSTELLATION BRANDS, INC.

On February 18, 2025, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York captioned Meza v. Constellation Brands, Inc., et al., Case No. 6:25-cv-6107 (W.D.N.Y.). The complaint names as defendants the Company, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and asserts claims for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder arising from allegedly materially false or misleading statements or omissions of purportedly material fact concerning, among other things, the Company’s strategies intended to improve the performance of our Wine and Spirits business. On July 17, 2025, an amended complaint was filed in the Meza litigation. The amended complaint asserts the same causes of action against the same defendants, but alleges materially false or misleading statements or omissions of purportedly material fact concerning, among other things, the prospects of our beer business. The amended complaint does not allege misstatements or omissions regarding our wine and spirits business. The amended complaint seeks, among

other relief, alleged damages in an unspecified amount, attorneys’ fees, and costs. On September 17, 2025, the Company and the other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which motion was fully briefed as of December 12, 2025 and remains pending.

On March 24, 2025, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York captioned Silva v. Newlands, et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-254 (W.D.N.Y.); on April 21, 2025, a second purported stockholder of the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York captioned Mason v. Newlands, et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-00353 (W.D.N.Y.); and on June 24, 2025, a third purported stockholder of the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware captioned Wasserman v. Baldwin, et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-779 (D. Del.). These derivative complaints each seek to assert claims arising under the Exchange Act and state common law, derivatively on behalf of the Company, against current and former directors and officers of the Company. None of the plaintiffs made a pre-suit demand on our Board of Directors, instead each alleging that the pre-suit demand requirement should be excused as purportedly futile. The claims asserted in these derivative complaints arise from substantially the same allegations made in the first Meza complaint. On May 27, 2025, the United States District Court for the Western District of New York entered an order consolidating the Silva and Mason litigations and staying proceedings pending the entry of a final judgment in Meza. On August 8, 2025, the plaintiff in the Wasserman litigation filed a notice and proposed order voluntarily dismissing that litigation, which was so ordered by the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on August 14, 2025.
