PLANETECHS, LLC CASE NOS. 15CV000787, RG and 16CV00363 A court authorized this notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT AND FINAL APPROVAL HEARING A proposed class action settlement (the Settlement ) has been reached between Plaintiffs Julius Dennis, Gregory Tatum, and Pablo Linn ( Plaintiffs ) and Defendants PlaneTechs, LLC ( PlaneTechs ) and TrueBlue, Inc. ( Defendants ) on behalf of the following Settlement Class : All current and former non-exempt hourly employees employed by PlaneTechs at Zodiac Aerospace or at Zodiac Seat Shells U.S., LLC at any time during the time period from May 1, 2011 until the date first set for the hearing of a motion for preliminary approval of this Settlement Agreement (whether approved at that first hearing date, on a subsequent date, or subsequent hearing date). Defendants records indicate that you are a member of the Settlement Class (i.e., a Settlement Class Member ). The Settlement resolves three putative class action lawsuits entitled Julius Dennis v. PlaneTechs, LLC, Pablo Linn v. PlaneTechs, LLC, and Gregory Tatum v. PlaneTechs, LLC (together the Action ) alleging that Defendants violated California s wage and hour laws, and are liable for unpaid wages and penalties, by, among other things, allegedly failing to provide meal and rest periods to Settlement Class Members, failing to provide Settlement Class Members with accurate wage statements, and failing to timely pay wages to Settlement Class Members. Defendants deny all of the allegations in the Action, deny that they are liable, and deny that a class action is proper except solely for purposes of the Settlement. ESTIMATED PAYMENT INFORMATION The Settlement provides for monetary payments in the form of Individual Settlement Payments. The estimated Individual Settlement Payment for each Settlement Class Member that submits a valid and timely claim is $500. OVERVIEW OF YOUR RIGHTS AND OPTIONS UNDER THE SETTLEMENT RECEIVE A SHARE OF THE SETTLEMENT OPT OUT OF THE CLASS OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT If you want to receive a monetary payment from the Settlement, you must submit a valid and timely claim form to the Administrator listed in this Notice. Your claim form must be postmarked on or before August 28, If you do not want to give up your right to pursue the Released Claims (described below), you may opt out of the Settlement Class by submitting a timely and valid Opt-Out Form in accordance with the procedures set forth below.

To be valid, any Opt-Out Form must contain all of the information required and be postmarked on or before August 28, If you wish to object to the Settlement, you must submit a written objection in accordance with the procedures set forth below. To be valid, any objection must comply with all of the procedures described below and be both postmarked and filed with the Court on or before August 28, These rights and options, and how to exercise them, are explained in more detail in this notice. The Court handling this case still has to decide whether to grant final approval of the Settlement. Settlement payments will only be issued if the Court grants final approval to the Settlement and there are no appeals that change the approval. Additional information regarding the Settlement is available through the Settlement Administrator or Class Counsel, whose contact information is provided in this notice. FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE ACTION AND THE SETTLEMENT 1. What is the Action about? The Action generally involves claims under California wage and hour laws. Plaintiffs are former employees of Defendants during the periods described in the Settlement Class definition. They allege that Defendants failed to provide meal and rest periods to them and Settlement Class Members, failed to pay all wages owed to them and Settlement Class Members, failed to provide accurate written 1

2 wage statements to them and Settlement Class Members, and failed to timely pay all final wages to Settlement Class Members who are former employees. They also allege claims for California Business & Professions Code section 17200, failure to pay wages in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, and claims for penalties under the California Private Attorneys General Act. Through the Action, Plaintiffs seek to recover statutory and civil penalties, and other related relief. Defendants deny all liability in the Action, and assert that the class action mechanism is improper for any purpose other than settlement. Both Plaintiffs and Defendants believe that the Settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable, and that it is in the best interest of the Settlement Class (defined below in response to Question 3). 2. Why is this lawsuit a class action? In a class action, one or more people called the class representatives (in this case, Julius Dennis, Gregory Tatum, and Pablo Linn) sue on behalf of people who they allege have similar claims. All of these people are a Class or Class Members. One court resolves the issues for all class members, except for those who opt themselves out of the Class. 3. Who is a Class Member? On June 8, 2017, the Honorable Jed Beebe of Department 4 of the Santa Barbara Superior Court granted preliminary approval of the Settlement and certified the following Settlement Class solely for purposes of the Settlement: All current and former nonexempt hourly employees employed by PlaneTechs at Zodiac Aerospace or at Zodiac Seat Shells U.S., LLC at any time during the time period from May 1, 2011 until the date first set for the hearing of a motion for preliminary approval of this Settlement Agreement (whether approved at that first hearing date on a subsequent date or subsequent hearing date). 4. Why is there a Settlement? After investigating the claims at issue, and the possible defenses to those claims, both sides agreed to the Settlement to avoid the cost and risk of further litigation. The Settlement does not mean that any law was broken. Defendants deny all of the legal claims in the case, and also assert that a class action is improper for any purpose other than this Settlement. In view of the risks that continued litigation would entail, Plaintiffs and their lawyers think the Settlement is in the best interests of all Settlement Class Members. 5. What does the Settlement provide? THE SETTLEMENT BENEFITS WHAT YOU GET Under the terms of the Settlement, Defendants agree to pay a Gross Settlement Amount of up to $375, Deducted from the Gross Settlement Amount will be sums approved by the Court for attorneys fees to Class Counsel (up to $125,000.00, one-third of the Gross Settlement Amount), attorneys costs to Class Counsel (up to $15,000.00), enhancement awards to Plaintiffs for their services as class representatives (up to $9,000 to Plaintiff Dennis, and $5,000 each to Plaintiffs Linn and Tatum), civil penalties payable to the Labor and Workforce Development Agency ( LWDA ) ($7,500.00), and claims administration expenses (estimated not to exceed $10,000.00). The amount remaining after these items are deducted is $198,500, the amount out of which distributions to the Settlement Class will occur. Subject to withholdings required by law and the deduction of all employer and employee payroll tax obligations, each Settlement Class Member who does not opt-out of the Settlement shall ultimately be entitled to a pro rata payment from the $198,500 allocated to Settlement Class Members, which will be calculated by dividing $198,500 by the total number of Settlement Class Members (an Individual Settlement Payment ). A Settlement Class Member is everyone in the class who does not opt out. For tax purposes, one-third (1/3) of the Individual Settlement Payment will be treated as wages (from which taxes will be deducted/withheld and for which the Settlement Administrator will issue IRS Form W2s), and two-thirds (2/3) of the Individual Settlement Payment will be treated as interest and penalties (from which no taxes will be deducted/withheld and for which the Settlement Administrator will issue IRS Form 1099s). Each Settlement Class Member will be responsible for correctly characterizing the compensation received for tax purposes and for the payment of any other taxes owing on that amount. 6. What am I giving up in exchange for the settlement benefits? Upon the final approval by the Court of this Settlement Agreement, and except as to such rights or claims as may be created by this Settlement Agreement, the Class Representatives and Settlement Class Members and their successors in interest (the Releasors ), fully release and discharge Defendants PlaneTechs, LLC, TrueBlue, Inc. and any of their parent, subsidiary, predecessor and affiliated entities or related entities, including any of their predecessor or related entities, their current and former directors, officers, managers, servants, accountants, attorneys, advisors, shareholders, members, insurers, representatives, issuers and assigns, employees, agents, vendors, and customers, including Zodiac Seat Shells U.S., LLC or Zodiac Aerospace and any of their parent, subsidiary, predecessor and affiliated entities or related entities, and anyone acting on their behalf (the Releasees ) from any and all claims, whether known or unknown, that were or could have been asserted in the Lawsuits (or the Action), based upon the facts alleged in Plaintiffs complaints, that the Releasees violated the California Labor Code or the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act by failing to pay regular, overtime or double-time wages; failing to calculate and pay the appropriate regular, overtime, or double-time rates of pay; failing to pay wages and premium wages for missed meal and/or rest breaks, including second meal periods, or failing to provide meal and/or 2
