PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY.  YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE AFFECTED BY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING IN THIS COURT.

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 Northern District of Texas (the "Court"), that the above-captioned securities class action (the "Action") is pending in the Court.

YOU ARE ALSO NOTIFIED that Court-appointed Lead Plaintiff Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System and additional Named Plaintiff Key West Police & Fire Pension Fund (collectively, "Plaintiffs"), on behalf of themselves and the Settlement Class, and Defendants Six Flags, James Reid-Anderson, and Marshall Barber (collectively, "Defendants") have reached a proposed settlement of the Action for $40,000,000 in cash (the "Settlement"). If approved, the Settlement will resolve all claims in the Action.

A hearing will be held on January 28, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., before the Honorable Mark T. Pittman of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, in the Fourth Floor Courtroom of the Eldon B. Mahon United States Courthouse, located at 501 W. 10th Street, Fort Worth, Texas, 76102-3673, for the following purposes: (i) to determine whether the Settlement Class should be certified for purposes of the Settlement; (ii) to determine whether the proposed Settlement on the terms and conditions provided for in the Stipulation is fair, reasonable, and adequate to the Settlement Class, and should be finally approved by the Court; (iii) to determine whether a Judgment, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Stipulation, should be entered dismissing the Action with prejudice against Defendants and granting the Releases specified and described in the Stipulation (and in the Notice); (iv) to determine whether the proposed Plan of Allocation for the proceeds of the Settlement is fair and reasonable and should be approved; (v) to determine whether the motion by Lead Counsel for an award of attorneys' fees and Litigation Expenses should be approved; and (vi) to consider any other matters that may properly be brought before the Court in connection with the Settlement. 

If you are a member of the Settlement Class, your rights will be affected by the pending Action and the Settlement, and you may be entitled to share in the Net Settlement Fund. If you have not yet received the full printed Notice of (I) Proposed Settlement and Plan of Allocation; (II) Settlement Hearing; and (III) Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Litigation Expenses (the "Notice") and the Proof of Claim and Release Form (the "Claim Form"), you may obtain copies of these documents by contacting the Claims Administrator by mail at Six Flags Securities Litigation, c/o JND Legal Administration, P.O.

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 January 7, 2025, in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Notice.
