At the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “ Annual Meeting”)
of The Chefs’ Warehouse, Inc. (the “ Company”), one of the directors of the Company, Richard N. Peretz, received a greater
number of votes “against” his election than votes “for” his election. In accordance with the Company’s majority
vote policy for director reelection, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on March 26, 2025 (the “ Majority Vote Policy”), Mr. Peretz offered to tender his resignation to the Company’s board

issues with his attendance.

served as a Venture Partner at Playground Global, LLC, a technology-focused venture capital firm, since May 2021 and has served as an
