 Board and of the committees on which they served in fiscal 2024. We encourage each member of the Board to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. All of the members of our Board at the time of our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders attended the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders in-person or via internet participation.

#### Committees of the Board of Directors
The Board currently has a Compensation Committee, an Audit Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and an ESG Committee. Upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the full Board appoints members of each of those committees and designates the chairperson of each of those committees.

Compensation Committee . The Compensation Committee evaluates and establishes the compensation of our executive officers. The Compensation Committee also establishes or approves all policies and procedures related to our incentive compensation programs, approves compensation levels and opportunities for our chief executive officer and other executive officers, administers our incentive plans, including The Chefs’ Warehouse, Inc. Amended and Restated 2019 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2019 Equity Incentive Plan”) and annual cash incentive compensation plans, oversees programs designed to promote equal opportunity and diversity and makes recommendations to the full Board regarding long-term leadership succession. For a description of the role of the Compensation Committee, its consultants and management in setting compensation, please see “ EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION - Compensation Discussion and Analysis .” The Compensation Committee also approves our Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in our annual proxy statements.

The agenda for meetings of the Compensation Committee is determined by its chairman with the assistance of our chief executive officer and general counsel. Compensation Committee meetings are regularly attended by the chief executive officer and chairman of the Board and general counsel (except during voting regarding such named executive officers’ compensation). The chairman of the Compensation Committee reports the Compensation Committee’s recommendations on executive compensation to the Board. Independent advisors and the Company’s finance, human resources and legal departments support the Compensation Committee in its duties and may be delegated authority to fulfill certain administrative duties regarding the compensation programs. The Compensation Committee has authority under its charter to retain, approve fees for and terminate advisors, consultants and agents as it deems necessary to assist in the fulfillment of its responsibilities.
