John
Charlesworth, Patrick Flynn, Darlene Friedman and Stephen
Gillett will not stand for re-election this year, Chipotle said
in a regulatory filing.
Friedman is the Denver-based company's longest-serving director
with a 22-year tenure. Charlesworth and Flynn have served on the
board for nearly two decades, while Gillett has been a director
for about two years.
Chipotle, under pressure from activist investor Bill Ackman,
said in December it had appointed four new members to its board,
including one from Ackman's hedge fund Pershing Square Capital
Management.
The company was linked in November 2015 to a multistate E.coli
outbreak, and the next month to a norovirus outbreak that
sickened at least 80 Boston College students.
Following the food-safety lapses, which have battered the
company's shares, Chipotle abandoned its dual-CEO structure and
named Steve Ells the sole chief executive.
