STZ Constellation Brands Inc

Filed by Constellation Brands, Inc.

Pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933

and deemed filed pursuant to Rule 14a-12

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Subject Company: Constellation Brands, Inc.

Commission File No. 001-08495

The following was distributed to employees of Constellation Brands, Inc. on June 30, 2022

Earlier today, in addition to announcing our extremely strong Q1 Fiscal 2023 business results, Constellation also announced it has reached an agreement with the Sands family to eliminate the company’s Class B common stock and transition to a more traditional common stock structure. As you may recall, we received a non-binding proposal from the Sands family related to this matter back in April. Please click here to reference the original announcement.

As mentioned in our previous update, the change to a more traditional common stock structure where all of our shareholders hold the same voting rights would mark a logical next step in Constellation’s transition away from a family-controlled entity, a process that began more than 3 years ago with the appointment of our company’s first non-family CEO. The agreement to eliminate the company’s Class B common stock is expected to provide a number of corporate governance and other benefits to our company and shareholders. While the agreement would simplify our common stock structure, this transition would not change the Sands family’s standing as Constellation’s largest shareholder. Furthermore, based on the terms of the agreement, Rob and Richard would remain on our Board of Directors.

This agreement is subject to the approval of our shareholders and the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the reclassification. Following today’s announcement, this process is expected to be completed in the second half of this calendar year.

This process will have no impact on our ongoing day-to-day management of the business. Because of your efforts, we’re off to another strong start in Fiscal 2023. I want to sincerely thank each of you for your continued commitment to helping Constellation achieve our ultimate ambitions. Let’s continue to stay focused on what we do best – building brands people love, driving industry-leading results, delivering on bold ESG goals that are good for our business and the world, and serving as a company that in all respects is truly Worth Reaching For.

Please refer to the attached document for some additional important information required by SEC regulations based on the nature of the transaction.
