On
January

,
2018,
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc.
entered into retention agreements with certain employees, including Chief Financial Officer Jack Hartung and Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer Mark Crumpacker
.
The
retention
agreement
s
are intended to encourage the employees’ continued service to Chipotle during the pendency of a search for Chipotle’s next Chief Executive Officer, and were approved by the Compensation Committee of Chipotle’s Board of Directors.
The agreements
provide
for retention bonuses
that are scheduled to vest and become
payable on the first anniversary of the appointment of a permanent successor to Steve Ells as Chipotle’s Chief Executive Officer, subject to the employee recipient’s continuous employment with Chipotle through the vesting date and the employee recipient’s not having given Chipotle notice of
the employee’s termination of employment with Chipotle (other than resignation with “good reason” as defined in the agreement)
on or prior to the vesting date.
The amount of the retention bonus provided for Mr. Hartung is $1,000,000, and for Mr. Crumpacker is $600,000.
If Chipotle terminates the employee recipient’s employment for “cause” (as defined in the agreement) following the vesting date but prior to payment o
f the retention bonus
, the retention bonus will be automatically forfeited
.
If
,
prior to the vesting date
,
Chipotle
terminates the
employee recipient’s
employment
without
c
ause (and other than due to the
employee’s
death or
d
isability
, as defined in the agreement
) or the
employee recipient terminates the employee’s
employment with
g
ood
r

employee
timely executes a
general release of claims in favor of
Chipotle
and
such r
elease becomes irrevocable, the
r
etention
b
onus will
fully
vest as of the date on which the
r
elease becomes effective
,
and be paid to the
employee recipient
in a cash lump-sum at the same time as the
b
onus would have
been paid if the
employee
had
remained actively employed with the
Chipotle
through the payment date.
If the
employee recipient’s
employment
terminates for any other reason (including as a result of the employee’s death or disability, termination by Chipotle for cause, or termination by the employee without good reason), or the employee gives Chipotle notice of resignation without good reason, in either case prior to the vesting date, the employee will automatically forfeit the retention bonus.
