(the “Company”) amended and restated the CAVA Group, Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the “Original Executive Severance Plan” and as amended and restated, the “A&R Executive Severance Plan”). Material amendments contained in the A&R Executive Severance Plan include the following, with capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein having the meaning assigned to them in the A&R Executive Severance Plan:\n\n•The definitions of “Eligible Employee” and “Participant” were limited to each current and future member of the Executive Leadership Team.\n\n•In order to be eligible to receive severance benefits, a Participant must now execute and submit a Release and Restrictive Covenants Agreement in such form as the Company requires no later than 15 business days following a Covered Termination.\n\n•Severance benefits payable on a Covered Termination will terminate upon (i) a violation of the Release and Restrictive Covenants Agreement, or (ii) the Participant being employed by or providing any services or assistance to any person engaged in ownership, franchising, management, operation, or development of any restaurants other than full-table service restaurants.\n\n•Base Salary continuation payments available in the case of a Covered Termination will now be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by any base salary or compensation installments received or earned from any person or entity, whether as an employee or independent contractor, during the Severance Period.\n\n•The requirement to provide at least one year’s written notice to Participants of an amendment, termination, or discontinuance in whole or in part of the Original Executive Severance Plan is removed, and the standstill period for an amendment, termination, or discontinuance in whole or in part of five years is reduced to two years following a Change in Control without the written consent of an affected Participant.\n\nAll other material terms of the Original Executive Severance Plan remain unchanged.\n\nThe amendments will become effective for current Participants upon one year’s written notice. Any individual who first becomes a Participant after the Committee amended and restated the Original Executive Severance Plan shall participate only under the A&R Executive Severance Plan.\n\nThe foregoing summary of the A&R Executive Severance Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Executive Severance Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference."}
