2. Deloitte did not render any audit related fees in fiscal 2024 or 2023.

3. Tax fees in fiscal 2024 relate to professional services rendered in connection with a Section 382 analysis performed for Zoes Kitchen and CAVA, which pertains to the limitation of net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes following an ownership change as defined under the Internal Revenue Code.

4. "All Other Fees" consist of subscription fees for use of the Deloitte research tool.

The Audit Committee considered whether providing the non-audit services shown in this table was compatible with maintaining Deloitte’s independence and concluded that it was.

#### Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter and the requirements of law, the Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services that may be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the fees for those services, subject to the de minimis exception for non-audit services provided by SEC rules and in accordance with the Audit Committee Charter. This pre-approval applies to audit services, audit-related services, tax services, and other services. In some cases, the full Audit Committee provides pre-approval for specific services, subject to a specific dollar threshold. In other cases, the chair of the Audit Committee has the delegated authority from the Audit Committee to pre-approve services as necessary, and the chair then reports any such pre-approvals to the full Audit Committee at its next meeting. For the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, all of the audit and permitted non-audit services provided by Deloitte and the related fees paid to Deloitte were approved by the Audit Committee.

The ratification of the selection of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2025 will be approved if it receives the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of voting power of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on this matter at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will count as a vote “against” on this proposal. Because this proposal is considered a “routine” matter, we do not expect there to be any broker non-votes with respect to this proposal.
