Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc.
A fast-casual restaurant chain serving made-to-order burritos, bowls, tacos, and salads built on its "Food with Integrity" promise of responsibly raised meats and fresh ingredients. Chef Steve Ells opened the first Chipotle in Denver in 1993, inspired by the burrito taquerías of San Francisco's Mission District, intending it as a "cash cow" to fund a fine-dining dream. The name comes from the Nahuatl word for a smoke-dried jalapeño pepper.

Chipotle's July 29, 2026 earnings release and 2026 outlook did not include a financial impact from the salmonella investigations due to the uncertain nature of any possible outcomes.
The disclosure was made under Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure on August 4, 2026.
