YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED, pursuant to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and an Order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ("Court"), that Sjunde AP-Fonden and Louisiana Sheriffs' Pension & Relief Fund (together, "Class Representatives"), on behalf of themselves and the Class; and (b) Luckin Coffee Inc.

The Settlement, if approved, will resolve all claims in the Action.
A hearing will be held on July 22, 2022 at 11:00 a.m., before the Honorable John P. Cronan at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse, 500 Pearl St., New York, NY 10007-1312, Courtroom 12D, to determine: (i) whether the proposed Settlement should be approved as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (ii) whether the Action should be dismissed with prejudice against Luckin, the other defendants named in the Action, and certain other related parties, and the releases specified and described in the Stipulation (and in the Settlement Notice described below) should be entered; (iii) whether the proposed Plan of Allocation should be approved as fair and reasonable; and (iv) whether Class Counsel's motion for attorneys' fees and litigation expenses should be approved. Any updates regarding the hearing, including any changes to the date or time of the hearing or updates regarding in-person or remote appearances at the hearing, will be posted to the website for the Action, www.LuckinCoffeeSecuritiesLitigation.com.
If you are a member of the Class, your rights will be affected by the pending Action and the Settlement, and you may be entitled to share in the Settlement Fund. This notice provides only a summary of the information contained in the detailed Notice of (I) Proposed Settlement; (II) Settlement Hearing; and (III) Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Litigation Expenses ("Settlement Notice"). If you have not received a copy of the Settlement Notice, along with the Claim Form, in the mail, you may obtain copies of these documents by: (i) contacting the Claims Administrator at In re Luckin Coffee Inc.

Box 5887, Portland, OR 97228-5887, 1-855-535-1824, [email protected]; or (ii) downloading them from the website for the Action, www.LuckinCoffeeSecuritiesLitigation.com, or from Class Counsel's websites, www.blbglaw.com and www.ktmc.com.
