 leadership team development and succession planning. The CEO regularly meets with the full Board on his or her performance, and the CEO’s annual performance evaluation is conducted under the oversight of the Compensation Committee. Our CEO typically conducts annual performance and development evaluations of the other senior executives and reviews these evaluations with the Compensation Committee or full Board. Stockholder Communication with our Board The Board and management believe the Company’s relationships with our stockholders and other stakeholders are an important part of our corporate governance responsibility and recognize the value of continuing communications. This approach has resulted in our receiving important input and perspectives that have informed our decision making and resulted in action including our North Star strategic plan, our corporate governance practices, and Board composition. Throughout the year, we proactively engage with our stockholders directly, through individual meetings, attendance at investor conferences, issuance of press releases, and quarterly conference calls, as well as other stockholder communications. We discuss topics of importance to both our Company and stockholders, including value creation, strategy and performance, Board refreshment and leadership changes, capital structure and allocation, and governance matters. The Board values stockholder communication and provides many means for it to occur, including attending the annual meeting, voting, engaging, and writing, by sending a letter to the Chair, the Board of Directors, or a committee addressed to: Board of Directors, 10000 E. Geddes Avenue, Suite 500, Englewood, Colorado 80112, or by sending an e-mail to the Board’s dedicated email address: Board@redrobin.com . Our finance committee and full Board is involved in overseeing stockholder engagement. With respect to issues arising under the Company’s Code of Ethics, you may also communicate directly with the chair of the Audit Committee, head of internal audit, or the compliance officer in the manner provided in the Code of Ethics and the Company’s Problem Resolution and Whistleblower Policy and Reporting 14
