Weston is undertaking the stock split to ensure its Common Shares remain accessible to retail investors and employees who participate in the Company's Employee Share Ownership Plan, and to improve the liquidity of the Common Shares. The stock split will not dilute shareholders' equity. As the aggregate declared amount of the stock dividend on the Common Shares is nominal, there will be no Canadian income tax payable by shareholders related to this transaction. For more information, shareholders should consult with their own tax advisor.

The Common Shares will begin trading ex-dividend (post-split) on the Toronto Stock Exchange at the opening of business on August 19, 2025 . Common shares will trade on a "due bill" basis from the opening of business on August 14, 2025 until the close of business on August 18, 2025 , inclusively, where shares will carry the right to receive the additional shares to be issued in connection with the stock dividend.
