THIS NOTICE WAS AUTHORIZED BY A COURT. IT IS NOT A LAWYER SOLICITATION. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.

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 Eastern District of New York, that the above-captioned litigation (the “Federal Action”) has been preliminarily certified as a class action on behalf of the Settlement Class, except for certain persons and entities who are excluded from the Settlement Class by definition as set forth in the full Notice of Pendency and Proposed Partial Settlement of Class Action (the “Long Notice”).

YOU ARE ALSO NOTIFIED that Lead Plaintiffs in the Federal Action, along with the Plaintiffs in a related action pending in the Superior Court for the State of Georgia, Fulton County, styled Pareja, et al., v. Apostolos N. Zervos, et al., Case No. 2020CV337418 (the “State Action” and together with the Federal Action, the “Class Actions”), have reached a proposed partial settlement of the Class Actions for $4,900,000, plus any Additional Settlement Amount that may be recovered (the “Settlement”). If the Settlement is approved, it will resolve all claims in the Class Actions with respect to the Settling Defendants.

A hearing will be held on September 7, 2021 at 10:00 a.m., before the Honorable Brian M. Cogan at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, 225 Cadman Plaza East, Brooklyn, NY 11201, to determine: (i) whether the proposed partial Settlement should be approved as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (ii) whether the Federal Action should be dismissed with prejudice against Settling Defendants, and the Releases specified and described in the Stipulation and Agreement of Partial Settlement, dated April 22, 2021 (“Stipulation”) and in the Long Notice should be granted; (iii) whether the proposed Plan of Allocation should be approved as fair and reasonable; and (iv) whether Class Counsel’s application for an award of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses should be approved.

If you are a member of the Settlement Class, your rights will be affected by the Settlement, and you may be entitled to share in the Settlement Fund. The Long Notice and Proof of Claim and Release Form (“Claim Form”), as well as a copy of the Stipulation (which, among other things, contains definitions for the defined terms used in this Summary Notice), can be downloaded from the website maintained by the Claims Administrator, Strategic Claims Services, www.strategicclaims.net. You may also obtain copies of the Long Notice and Claim Form by contacting the Claims Administrator at Akazoo S.A. Securities Litigation, c/o Strategic Claims Services, P.O. Box 230, 600 N. Jackson St., Ste. 205, Media, PA 19063, Tel: (866) 274-4004; Fax: (610) 565-7985; Email: [email protected].

If you are a member of the Settlement Class, in order to be eligible to receive a payment under the proposed Settlement, you must submit a Claim Form postmarked or electronically submitted no later than September 23, 2021. If you are a Settlement Class Member and do not submit a proper Claim Form, you will not be eligible to share in the distribution of the net proceeds of the Settlement, but you will nevertheless be bound by any judgments or orders entered by the Court in the Federal Action.

If you are a member of the Settlement Class and wish to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you must submit a request for exclusion such that it is received no later than August 17, 2021, in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Long Notice. If you properly exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you will not be bound by any judgments or orders entered by the Court in the Federal Action and you will not be eligible to share in the proceeds of the Settlement.

Any objections to the proposed Settlement, the proposed Plan of Allocation, or Class Counsel’s motion for attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of Litigation Expenses, must be filed with the Court and delivered to Class Counsel and Defense Counsel such that they are received no later than August 17, 2021, in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Long Notice. Please do not contact the Court, the Clerk’s office, Akazoo, or its counsel regarding this notice. All questions about this notice, the proposed Settlement, or your eligibility to participate in the Settlement should be directed to Class Counsel or the Claims Administrator.
