Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure controls and procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal control over financial reporting

During our fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2025, we implemented a new consolidation system, OneStream, to support the financial statement close process. As a result of the implementation, certain existing internal controls were modified or removed, and new internal controls and procedures were designed and implemented to align with the new system. There are inherent risks in implementing any new system, and we will continue to evaluate these control changes as part of our assessment of internal control over financial reporting throughout Fiscal 2026.

In connection with the foregoing evaluation by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, other than the OneStream implementation noted above, no other changes were identified in the Company’s “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

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 complaint filed in the 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.). 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.
