Lifeway extends shareholder rights plan to Oct 2026, citing concentrated ownership risk
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Board approved Amendment No. 1 extending rights plan expiration to Close of Business October 29, 2026, from November 4, 2025.
- Plan extended due to highly concentrated share ownership and potential for de facto control without paying a premium to other shareholders.
- Company noted potential near-term share availability under existing agreements and registration obligations that could facilitate control accumulation.
- Extension is not in response to any specific takeover proposal; all other terms of the Rights Plan remain unchanged.
- Evercore is financial advisor and Sidley Austin is legal counsel to Lifeway.
