Defendants Centrum Valley Holdings, LLC, Versova Holdings, LLC, and Versova Management

Cooperative (collectively, “Versova Defendants”), may be filed with and entered by the Court as

compliance with the requirements of the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act (“APPA”), 15

U.S.C. § 16, and without further notice to any party or any other proceeding, as long as the United

D. Versova Defendants agree to arrange, at their expense, publication of the newspaper

notice required by the APPA, which will be drafted by the United States in its sole discretion. The

publication must be arranged as quickly as possible and, in any event, no later than three business

days after Versova Defendants’ receipt of (1) the text of the notice from the United States and (2)

the identity of the newspaper or newspapers within which the publication must be made. Versova

Defendants must promptly send to the United States (1) confirmation that publication of the

newspaper notices has been arranged and (2) the certification of the publication prepared by the

newspaper or newspapers within which the notice was published.

E. Any person who wishes to submit to the United States written comments regarding

the proposed Final Judgment should do so within 60 calendar days beginning with the first day of

the publication of the newspaper notice required by APPA or the publication of the proposed Final

whichever is later.

F. This Stipulation and Order applies with equal force and effect to any amended

proposed Final Judgment agreed upon in writing by the United States, Plaintiff States, and Versova

Defendants and filed with the Court.

G. Versova Defendants represent that the actions they are required to perform pursuant

to the proposed Final Judgment can and will be performed and that Versova Defendants will not

later raise a claim of mistake, hardship, or difficulty of compliance as grounds for asking the Court

to modify any provision of the proposed Final Judgment or this Stipulation and Order.

H. This Stipulation and Order, including the proposed Final Judgment filed with this

Stipulation and Order or any amended proposed Final Judgment agreed upon in writing by the

United States, Plaintiff States, and Versova Defendants, constitutes the final, complete, and

Case 5:26-cv-04060 Document 2-5 Filed 06/29/26 Page 3 of 20

4

exclusive agreement and understanding between the United States, Plaintiff States, and Versova

Defendants with respect to the settlement of the claims expressly stated in the Complaint filed in

this above-captioned case, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether oral

or written, concerning the settlement embodied herein.

IV. RELEASE – SETTLING STATES

Versova Defendants are hereby fully and finally discharged and released from any civil

claims under the laws of the Settling States arising from the allegations of unlawful conduct in the

Complaint. Versova Defendants will comply with Sections VI and VII of the Stipulation regardless

of whether the Final Judgment is entered by the Court. The Settling States also agree that the

release of state claims in this Section IV of the Stipulation shall apply regardless of whether the

Final Judgment is entered by the Court.1

V. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS – SETTLING STATES

Nothing in this Stipulation will be construed to waive or limit any private right of action

or any damages claim brought by third parties, including local and state government

agencies, or citizens of the Settling States, whether directly or as a class action.

VI. SETTLING STATES DONATION RELIEF

A. As part of the injunctive relief as to the Settling States, Versova Defendants will

provide or cause to be provided twenty (20) million eggs to food banks or related non-profits (the

“Donee Organizations”) located in the Settling States (the “Egg Donations”).

B. Versova Defendants will apportion the Egg Donations among the Settling States

consistent with written instructions provided by the Settling States within 60 days following the

1 The release and reservation of rights by the Settling States in Sections IV and V of this Stipulation apply

to “Versova” as defined in Section II.A of the proposed Final Judgment.

Case 5:26-cv-04060 Document 2-5 Filed 06/29/26 Page 4 of 20

5

filing of the Proposed Final Judgment. Versova Defendants will cooperate with the Settling States

in good faith to determine the Donee Organizations and the quantities to be donated to each

organization provided that the minimum amount of eggs in each delivery will be one (1) pallet of

eggs. Versova Defendants and Settling States agree to meet and confer in good faith to identify

the states in which Versova Defendants’ Egg Donations will be apportioned taking into account

the states to which Versova Defendants currently serve.

C. Eggs provided in the Egg Donations must be unspoiled, non-expired, and non-

damaged Medium and/or Large brown and/or white Grade A eggs, with at least 20-day shelf life,

and must be at least of a quality identical to that of eggs sold by Versova Defendants to their

grocery store customers. Eggs must be packaged in a 12-carton package or any other reasonable

manner deemed acceptable by the Donee Organization.

D. All eggs provided by Versova Defendants to Donee Organizations shall conform to

all state and local regulatory requirements, including enclosure and certification standards,

applicable in the jurisdiction of the Donee Organization. This includes, without limitation,

compliance with California Proposition 12 (Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 3, §§ 1320–1327.3) for Donee

Organizations in California and Colorado’s cage-free egg requirements (C.R.S. §§ 35-21-201 et

seq.) for Donee Organizations in Colorado.

E. Any charitable egg distributions, including donations to food banks in the Settling

States, planned by Versova Defendants prior to the date this Stipulation is filed will not count

toward satisfying the volume of Egg Donations required by this Stipulation. Additionally, Previous

Donations will not count toward satisfying the volume of Egg Donations required by this

Stipulation. For purposes of this Section, “Previous Donations” means the annual average quantity

Case 5:26-cv-04060 Document 2-5 Filed 06/29/26 Page 5 of 20

6

of Eggs donated by Versova Defendants to food banks and other charitable organizations, or

nonprofits in the Settling States between 2022 and 2025.

F. In completing the Egg Donations, Versova Defendants will comply with all

applicable state and federal regulations concerning food and egg safety, sanitation, transportation,

packaging, refrigeration, sales, and donations, including but not limited to the Egg Safety Final

Rule, 21 CFR Part 118.

G. If a Settling State or Donee Organization reasonably determines that the delivery

does not comply with Section VI.C or Section VI.D of this Stipulation, a Settling State or Donee

Organization will provide Versova Defendants with notice within 7 days, an explanation of the

alleged non-compliance, and an opportunity to demonstrate compliance. In the event that it is

thereafter confirmed by a Settling State that Versova Defendants are unable to cure, and the

delivery does not comply with Section VI.C or Section VI.D, and a Settling State or Donee

Organization has refused delivery, Versova Defendants will be responsible for all costs associated

with regaining possession of and disposing of the eggs at issue, and will be obligated to make a

replacement delivery to the Donee Organization in compliance with the terms of this Section.

H. Versova Defendants will complete the Egg Donations at Versova Defendants’

expense. Versova Defendants will not charge the Settling States or the Donee Organizations any

price or fee, including any shipping, freight, handling, delivery, or service fees for the packaging,

storage, shipment, or for any other task or cost associated with the Egg Donations.

I. Versova Defendants will complete the Egg Donations within thirty-six (36) months

following the filing of the Final Judgment (the “Donation Deadline”).

J. Versova Defendants are obligated to coordinate with each Donee Organization as

to the logistics of the Egg Donations, to ensure adequate storage, delivery, packaging, and capacity

Case 5:26-cv-04060 Document 2-5 Filed 06/29/26 Page 6 of 20

7

are available. Versova Defendants will make deliveries to the Donee Organizations on dates and

times that are acceptable and reasonably convenient for the Donee Organizations.

K. Upon 21 days’ written notice to Versova Defendants, any Donee Organization may

redirect its allocated Egg Donations (in whole, not in part) to another reasonably convenient

nonprofit entity located within 100 miles of the Donee Organization. In the event a Donee

Organization provides notice under this Section VI.K, Versova Defendants will deliver to the new

recipient in accordance with this Section.

L. On a quarterly basis beginning with Versova Defendants’ second full financial

quarter following the filing of the Proposed Final Judgment and until the Egg Donations are

completed, Versova Defendants will provide the Settling States with a summary of the progress of

the Egg Donations. This summary must include, for each donation, the date of the donation, the

number of eggs included, and the identity of the recipient Donee Organization. Additionally, to

the extent practicable, Versova Defendants must provide reasonable advance notice of a planned

delivery to a Donee Organization to the Settling State in which the Donee Organization is located.

M. Versova Defendants must provide a written certification to the Settling States upon

completion of the Egg Donations. This certification must include, for each donation, the date of

the donation, the number of eggs included, and the identity of the Donee Organization. Upon

receipt of such certification, the Settling States shall review and, within a reasonable period of

time, respond in writing to Versova Defendants confirming that Versova Defendants’ Egg

Donations have, to the extent known by the Settling States, met their Egg Donation obligations

under this Stipulation.

N. In the event Versova Defendants believe that they will be unable to complete the

Egg Donations by the Donation Deadline, Versova Defendants must provide written notice of the

Case 5:26-cv-04060 Document 2-5 Filed 06/29/26 Page 7 of 20

8

potential failure to meet the Donation Deadline to the Settling States prior to the Donation

Deadline. This notice must include information and documents sufficient to substantiate Versova

Defendants’ inability to complete the Egg Donations by the Donation Deadline. After Versova

Defendants have provided notice and have cooperated with any requests by the Settling States for

additional information, the Parties will negotiate in good faith as to whether to reasonably extend

the Donation Deadline by written mutual agreement such that the full Egg Donation amounts are

satisfied.

VII. MONETARY PAYMENT TO THE SETTLING STATES

A. Versova Defendants will pay to the Settling States a Monetary Payment in the

amount of $800,000 (eight hundred thousand dollars) before the later of (i) thirty (30) days after

the filing of the Proposed Final Judgment or (ii) ten (10) days after receiving complete wire

instructions and any related verifications from New York. Such payment will be made via

electronic deposit to New York, which shall distribute the funds to the Settling States. Such

Monetary Payment is provided for the purposes of settlement only and shall be apportioned among

the Settling States at the sole discretion of the Settling States as may be agreed upon among them,

and Versova Defendants shall have no responsibility for or influence with respect to that allocation.

This payment does not constitute a fine, penalty, forfeiture, or payment in lieu thereof.

B. The Monetary Payment may be used for any purpose the Attorneys General of the

Settling States deem, in their sole discretion, to be appropriate, consistent with, or required by, the

various states’ laws, including but not limited to:

i. antitrust or consumer protection law enforcement, including attorney fees

and expenses;

Case 5:26-cv-04060 Document 2-5 Filed 06/29/26 Page 8 of 20

9

ii. for deposit into a state antitrust or consumer protection account (e.g.,

revolving account, trust account), for use in accordance with the state laws

governing that account;

iii. for deposit into a fund exclusively dedicated to assisting state attorneys

general to enforce the antitrust laws by defraying the costs of a) experts,

economists, and consultants in multistate antitrust investigations and

litigation, b) training or continuing education in antitrust for attorneys in

state attorney general offices, or c) information management systems used

in multistate antitrust investigations and litigation; or

iv. for any other purpose as the attorney general deems appropriate, consistent

with the state law.

VIII. DURATION OF OBLIGATIONS

In the event that (1) the United States has withdrawn its consent, as provided in Paragraph

III.A of this Stipulation and Order; (2) the United States and Plaintiff States voluntarily dismiss

the Complaint in this matter; or (3) the Court declines to enter the proposed Final Judgment, the

time has expired for all appeals of any ruling declining entry of the proposed Final Judgment, and

the Court has not otherwise ordered continued compliance with the terms and provisions of the

proposed Final Judgment, Versova Defendants are released from all further obligations under this

Stipulation and Order, and the making of this Stipulation and Order will be without prejudice to

any party in this or any other proceeding.
