(i) In the event of your Retirement prior to the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, you shall become vested on the Vesting Date in a pro rata portion of the Performance Shares, determined by multiplying the total number of Performance Shares determined based on actual achievement during the Performance Period of the Performance Goals set forth on Appendix A by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date through your Retirement and the denominator of which is 365.

(ii) In the event of your Retirement on or after the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, the total number of Performance Shares determined based on actual achievement during the Performance Period of the Performance Goals set forth on Appendix A, without proration, shall become vested on the Vesting Date.

3. Distribution Upon Vesting. Subject to Sections 2 and 18, as soon as practicable following the expiration of the Performance Period (but no later than March 15th following the expiration of the Performance Period), the Company shall issue or deliver, subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Shares for the vested Performance Shares to you. The Award may only be settled in Shares. Such issuance or delivery of Shares shall be evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such issuance or delivery, except as otherwise provided in Section 6. Prior to the issuance to you of the Shares subject to the Award, you shall have no direct or secured claim in any specific assets of the Company or in such Shares, and will have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

4. No Shareholder Rights. Neither you nor any person claiming under or through you shall have rights as a holder of Shares (e.g., you have no right to vote or receive dividends) with respect to the Performance Shares granted hereunder unless and until such Performance Shares have been settled in Shares that have been registered in your name as owner. You shall have no beneficial interest or ownership in the vested Shares until the issue or delivery of those vested Shares to you.

5. Dividend Equivalents. Prior to the settlement of the Performance Shares, you shall accumulate dividend equivalents with respect to the Performance Shares, which dividend equivalents shall be paid in cash (without interest) to you only if and when the applicable Performance Shares vest and become payable. Dividend equivalents shall equal the dividends, if any, actually paid with respect to Shares prior to the settlement of the Award while (and to the extent) the Performance Shares remain outstanding and unpaid. In the event you forfeit Performance Shares, you also shall immediately forfeit any dividend equivalents held by the Company that are attributable to the Shares underlying such forfeited Performance Shares.

6. Tax Withholding. As a condition precedent to the issuance of Shares following the vesting of the Performance Shares, you shall, upon request by the Company, pay to the Company such amount as the Company determines is required, under all applicable international, federal, state, local or other laws or regulations, to be withheld and paid over as income or other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to such vesting of the Performance Shares. If you shall fail to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments shall be satisfied by the Company withholding whole Shares that would otherwise be delivered to you upon vesting of the Performance Shares having an aggregate fair market value, determined as of the date on which such withholding obligation arises (the “Tax Date”), equal to the Required Tax Payments; however, if you submit a written request to the Company at least ten (10) days in advance of the Vesting Date, the Company may agree, in its discretion, to permit you to satisfy your obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments by a check or cash payment to the Company. Shares shall be withheld based on the applicable statutory minimum tax rate; however, if you submit a written request to the Company at least ten (10) days in advance of the Vesting Date, the Company (or, in the case

of an individual subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Committee) may agree, in its discretion, to withhold shares based on a higher tax rate permitted by applicable withholding rules and accounting rules without resulting in variable accounting treatment. No Share or certificate representing a Share shall be issued or delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full.

7. Tax Indemnification. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6 above, you agree to indemnify the Company and each affiliate, and hold the Company and each affiliate harmless against and from any and all liability for any taxes or payments in respect of taxes (including social security and national insurance contributions, to the extent permitted by applicable law), arising as a result of, in connection with or in respect of the grant of the Award, vesting of the Award and/or the delivery of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

8. Repayment; Right of Set-Off. You agree and acknowledge that this Agreement is subject the Company’s Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy and any other “clawback,” recoupment or set-off policies in effect on the Grant Date or that the Committee thereafter may adopt. If the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that you have engaged in misconduct that constitutes “Cause” as defined in the Plan, you agree that any unvested portion of the Award shall be immediately forfeited as of the date the Company determines that you engaged in such misconduct. The foregoing shall not be the Company’s exclusive remedies, which may also include injunctive relief and damages, as applicable. In addition, you agree that in the event the Company, in its reasonable judgment, determines that you owe the Company any amount due to any loan, note, obligation or indebtedness, including but not limited to amounts owed to the Company pursuant to the Company’s policies with respect to travel and business expenses, and if you have not satisfied such obligation, then the Company may instruct the plan administrator to withhold and/or sell Shares acquired by you upon settlement of the Award, or the Company may deduct funds equal to the amount of such obligation from other funds due to you from the Company.

9. Adjustment of Performance Shares. The number of Performance Shares subject to this Award and the related Performance Goals shall automatically be adjusted in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan to prevent accretion, or to protect against dilution, in the event of a change to the Common Stock resulting from a recapitalization, stock split, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, or liquidation or other similar transactions.

10. Non-Transferability of Award. Unless the Committee specifically determines otherwise, the Performance Shares may not be transferred by you other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except to the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence, the Award may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Award, the Award and all rights hereunder shall immediately become null and void.

11. No Right to Continued Employment or Service. The granting of the Award shall not be construed as granting to you any right to continue your employment or Service with the Company.

12. Amendment of this Award. This Award or the terms of this Agreement may be amended by the Board or the Committee at any time (a) if the Board or the Committee determines, in its reasonable discretion, that amendment is necessary or appropriate to conform the Award to, or otherwise satisfy, any legal requirement (including without limitation the provisions of Section 409A of the Code), which amendments may be made retroactively or prospectively and without your approval or consent to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided that, such amendment shall not materially and adversely affect your rights hereunder; or (b) with your consent.

Appendix A to 2024

Performance Criteria

The two performance criteria under this Performance Share Award are (1) 3-year cumulative Base Restaurant Cash Flow dollars (“Base RCF Dollars”), and (2) total gross new restaurant openings (“Gross NROs”), each as defined below; provided that payout above target will be subject to a cap based on relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) compared to the S&P 500, as described below.

90% of the Target Number of Performance Shares is allocated to the Base RCF Dollars metric and 10% of the Target Number of Performance Shares is allocated to the Gross NROs metric.

Performance Period

Performance will be measured from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026.

Metric #1: Base RCF Dollars Performance Goal Table (90% weight)

The number of Shares that can be earned for the Base RCF Dollars metric is equal to the Target Number of Performance Shares multiplied by the Payout Percentage corresponding to the 3-Year Cumulative Base RCF Dollars indicated in the Performance Goal Table below.


Performance Goal Table
Payout Percentage			3-Year Cumulative Base RCF Dollars (in millions)
0%			$*
45%			$*
90% (Target)			$* - $*
135%			$*
180%			$*
225%			$*
270%			$*

*The specific targets were approved by the Compensation Committee of Chipotle’s Board of Directors and are contained in the minutes of the meeting at which this Performance Share Award was approved.

In no event may more than 270% of the Target Number of Performance Shares be earned for the Base RCF Dollars metric. If the level of performance falls between two stated performance levels in the Performance Goal Table, the Payout Percentage shall be determined using straight-line interpolation. For example, if 3-Year Cumulative Base RCF Dollars is $* billion, the Payout

Percentage would be 67.5%, which is the midpoint between the Payout Percentage at $* billion and $* billion.

“Base Restaurant” means any restaurant owned and operated by the Company and open as of December 31, 2023.

“Base RCF Dollars” equals the Company’s total revenue from all Base Restaurants, plus the total revenue from all Relocated Base Restaurants over the performance period, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect on the first day of the Performance Period, multiplied by the “RCF Margin %” for the applicable Company fiscal year or period.

For purposes of calculating this metric to determine the Payout Percentage, Base RCF Dollars will be calculated on an annual basis, and the 3-Year Cumulative Base RCF Dollars shall be determined using the following formula: X+Y+Z, where X is 2023 Base RCF Dollars, Y is 2024 Base RCF Dollars, and X is 2025 Base RCF Dollars. As an example, 2023 Base RCF Dollars equals (i) the sum of the total revenue generated in 2023 by Base Restaurants plus the total revenue generated in 2023 by Relocated Base Restaurants, and (ii) multiplied by the RCF Margin % for 2023.

“Relocated Base Restaurants” means any restaurant owned and operated by the Company that was opened during the performance period and that was intended to replace a Base Restaurant that closed during the performance period.

“RCF Margin %” for any fiscal year during the performance period equals the Company’s total revenue less restaurant operating costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), expressed as a percentage of the Company’s total revenue. For purposes of this agreement, the calculation of RCF Margin % will have the following two adjustments:

•Restaurant operating costs will exclude all “Crew Tipping Expenses”, as defined below

•Exclude revenue and restaurant operating costs of any acquisition of restaurants in a transaction that occurs during the performance period if the number of restaurants acquired in that transaction was 25 or greater.

Except for the two adjustments above, RCF Margin % shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect on the first day of the Performance Period.

“Crew Tipping Expenses” will be calculated as the sum of all direct and indirect costs included in RCF Margin % and incurred by the Company to implement and maintain in-store tipping for restaurant crew employees, including:

•Employer Tax Adjustment, calculated as: gross in-store employee tips x “weighted average effective employer tax” for employees who received tips

•Other costs associated with execution and management of employee tip program, including but not limited to:

A-2

oEmployer paid employee tips for exceptions due to missed time punches, time edits, etc.

oDirect vendor costs associated with tip administration

“Weighted Average Effective Employer Tax” equals total employer tax paid for employees who received tips divided by the total compensation paid to employees who received tips.

Metric #2: Gross NROs Performance Goal Table (10% weight)

The number of Shares that can be earned for the Gross NROs metric is equal to the Target Number of Performance Shares multiplied by the Payout Percentage corresponding to the Gross NROs indicated in the Performance Goal Table below.


Performance Goal Table
Payout Percentage			Gross NROs
0%			*
5%			*
10% (Target)			–
15%			*
20%			*
25%			*
30%			*

In no event may more than 30% of the Target Number of Performance Shares be earned for the Gross NROs metric. If the level of performance falls between two stated performance levels in the Performance Goal Table, the Payout Percentage shall be determined using straight-line interpolation. For example, if Gross NROs is * the Payout Percentage would be 12%, which is the interpolated result between * and * Gross NROs.

“Gross NROs” equals the cumulative number of all restaurants (i) opened by the Company, including restaurant relocations, or by a licensee/franchisee during the 3-year Performance Period (ii) acquired by the Company and converted to the “Chipotle” brand, which restaurants would be included starting on the date conversion is completed, and (iii) opened by the Company under a restaurant concept that are not operated under the “Chipotle” brand. For purposes of this agreement, the calculation of Gross NROs will exclude any restaurants acquired during the performance period, whether those restaurants are converted to the Chipotle brand or not, if the number of restaurants acquired in that transaction was 25 or greater.

Cap on Above Target Payout

In no event may more than 100% of the Target Number of Performance Shares be earned under this Appendix A if Chipotle’s 3-year TSR is below the 25th percentile of the constituent companies comprising the S&P 500 on the date of grant.

A-3

“TSR” means total shareholder return as determined by taking (i) the sum of (A) the Ending Period Average Price minus the Beginning Period Average Price plus (B) all dividends and other distributions paid on a constituent company’s shares during the Performance Period and dividing the sum by (ii) the Beginning Period Average Price. In calculating TSR, all dividends are assumed to have been reinvested in shares when paid. TSR for a constituent company will be negative one hundred percent (-100%) if during the Performance Period it: (i) files for bankruptcy, reorganization, or liquidation under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (ii) is the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding that is not dismissed within 30 days; (iii) is the subject of a stockholder approved plan of liquidation or dissolution; or (iv) ceases to conduct substantial business operations. If a constituent company is acquired, taken private or delisted (independent of situations covered in (i) through (IV) above) during the performance period, it will be excluded from the TSR calculation.

“Beginning Period Average Price” means the average closing price per share of a constituent company over the 20-consecutive-trading days starting with and including the first day of the Performance Period (if the applicable day is not a trading day, the immediately preceding trading day), adjusted for stock splits or similar changes in capital structure.

“Ending Period Average Price” means the average closing price per share of a constituent company over the 20-consecutive-trading days ending with and including the last day of the Performance Period (if the applicable day is not a trading day, the immediately preceding trading day), adjusted for stock splits or similar changes in capital structure.

Potential Force-Majeure Related Adjustments

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee (i) certifies that a Force Majeure Event has occurred, and (ii) determines that the Company’s actual RCF Dollars have been Significantly Impacted for three or more months in a 12-month period, then the Committee shall, for each month Significantly Impacted by the Force Majeure event: (a) exclude the actual Base RCF Dollars from the calculation of 3-Year Cumulative Base RCF Dollars, and (b) exclude Trended Base RCF Dollars from the Performance Goal Table.

Definitions of applicable terms are set forth below:

“RCF Dollars” is calculated as the Company’s total revenue less restaurant operating costs

(exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for the applicable Company fiscal year or period. RCF Dollars shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect on the first day the Performance Period. For purposes of the Force Majeure Related Adjustment, RCF Dollars is calculated on a monthly basis.

“Baseline RCF Dollars” is calculated on a monthly basis as the RCF Growth Rate, multiplied by the actual RCF Dollars for that same month in the prior year.

“Force Majeure Event” is an extraordinary event or circumstance such as an act of God, war or war condition, widespread riots or civil disorder, acts of terrorism, cyber or ransomware attacks,

A-4

widespread strikes, lockouts, or labor disruptions, government mandate, embargo, fire, flood, earthquake or other nature disaster, epidemic, pandemic or other similar occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the company. Any Force Majeure Related Adjustment will not exceed 12 months in duration.

“RCF Growth Rate” is calculated as the average of the actual RCF Dollars for the three months immediately before the month in which the Force Majeure Event occurs (the “test months”), divided by the average of the actual RCF Dollars for the same three tests months in the prior 12-month period.

“Significantly Impacted” means actual RCF dollars falls below Baseline RCF Dollars by 10% or more.

“Trended Base RCF Dollars” is calculated on a monthly basis as the RCF Growth Rate, multiplied by actual Base RCF Dollars for that same month in the prior year, multiplied by the NRO adjustment in the table below:


Period			NRO Phasing Adjustment
January 2023			*%
February 2023			*%
March 2023			*%
April 2023			*%
May 2023			*%
June 2023			*%
July 2023			*%
August 2023			*%
September 2023			*%
October 2023			*%
November 2023			*%
