#### Stockholder Outreach
We believe an open and transparent dialogue with our stockholders is an essential element of good corporate governance. Last year, our management met with the top actively managed stockholders. We hold calls with our top investors each quarter and also hold periodic calls on an ad hoc basis. During our calls, we discuss corporate governance practices, the Company’s strategy and performance, executive compensation programs, board composition and other items of stockholder interest. Our management’s dialogue with the stockholders holding approximately 40% of voting shares helped us to improve our corporate governance practices and executive compensation programs during fiscal 2024. The Company met with investors and stockholders in person, along with video and phone calls in fiscal 2024.

Each spring, we make available to all stockholders a copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Proxy Statement. Stockholders may access our Annual Report, Proxy Statement, committee charters, investor presentations, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Corporate Governance Guidelines, Insider Trading Policy and Bylaws at investors.chefswarehouse.com .
