Item 5.07    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On June 15, 2023, Sweetgreen, Inc. (the “Company”) virtually held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders (1) elected each of the nine nominees for director, (2) indicated, on a nonbinding, advisory basis, every one year as the preferred frequency for the solicitation of advisory stockholder approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, and (3) ratified the selection by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. A more complete description of each proposal is set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2023. The final results with respect to each proposal are set forth below.

Proposal 1. The stockholders elected each of the nine nominees named below to serve as directors until the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The results of such vote were:
