SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT
This proxy statement supplement (“Proxy Supplement”) updates the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A of Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (the “Company”) dated April 23, 2024 and made available to shareholders in connection with its annual meeting of shareholders to be held on June 6, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”). Except as specifically described in this Proxy Supplement, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement continues to apply and this Proxy Supplement does not modify, amend or supplement the Proxy Statement.
This Proxy Supplement is being filed solely to correct an administrative oversight on the proxy card that previously was furnished to shareholders. Specifically, Item 1 of the proxy card regarding the election of directors incorrectly gave shareholders the option to “Withhold” their votes for directors instead of voting “Against” or “Abstain” for directors. Instead, Item 1 should give the voting options “For,” “Against,” or “Abstain.” Accordingly, the Company is providing a revised proxy card to its shareholders as of the record date. “Withhold” or “Withhold All” votes received in response to the previously issued proxy card will be treated as “Against” votes for all the applicable director nominees listed in Item 1 of the proxy card. In addition, to the extent any particular director nominees were listed in a “For All Except” vote received in response to the previously issued proxy card, those votes will be treated as “Against” votes for the identified director nominees and as votes “For” all other director nominees. Shareholders of record may change their votes at any time prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 5, 2024 for shares held directly.
