 is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, we are submitting the appointment of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice and because we value our stockholders' views on our independent registered public accounting firm. In the event that our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Deloitte, the Audit Committee will investigate the reason for the rejection and reconsider the appointment. Even if our stockholders ratify the selection of Deloitte, our Audit Committee, in its discretion, may appoint another independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in the best interest of CAVA and our stockholders.

Representatives of Deloitte are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, and they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to respond to appropriate questions.
