Abstentions will be equivalent to a vote against Proposals 2 and 3. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of Proposals 3 and 4 because they are not considered votes cast.

#### Attending the Annual Meeting
We will be hosting the Annual Meeting on the internet through a virtual web conference at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/chef25 . Our stockholders will continue to have the opportunity to engage with our Board and our independent auditors during the meeting. Our optional virtual meeting platform provided by our proxy solicitor, Broadridge Financial Solutions, allows all participating stockholders to submit questions at any point in the meeting. In addition, it also allows our stockholders to vote on proposals online. We believe that our virtual platform will increase stockholder participation while at the same time affording the same rights and opportunities to participate, as stockholders would have if we held a physical annual meeting.
