March 31, 2025

Dear Rossann Williams,

Sweetgreen, Inc. (the “Company”) and you have made the decision to mutually terminate your employment. This separation agreement (“Agreement”) will confirm the terms of your separation on mutually agreeable terms as set forth below. You and the Company (collectively, the “Parties”) agree that this Agreement represents the full and complete agreement concerning your separation with the Company.

1.Last Day of Employment: Your last day of employment with the Company, and effective date of separation, will be the date the Consultant Agreement, attached to this Agreement as “Attachment A” is fully executed (“Separation Date”).

2.Consideration:

a.Provided that you (i) comply with your obligations under this Agreement including Paragraphs 6, 14 and 16, and (ii) timely sign and return this Agreement, the Company will provide you with the following “Consideration”:

i.The Company will contract with you as a Consultant immediately from your employment Separation Date (so there is no separation from service on said date and your existing equity awards continue to vest) through June 1, 2025 (“Consultant Period”) in accordance with the terms set forth in the Consultant Agreement, attached to this Agreement as “Attachment A”;

ii.The Company will also pay you a lump sum payment in the net amount of Twenty Five Thousand Six Hundred Fifty-Four Dollars ($25,654.08) which will be grossed-up to account for applicable federal and state taxes, so that you may elect COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group medical insurance plans in which you participated as of the Separation Date, and pay IGOE Administrative Services for your COBRA premium (subject to changes in such plans or coverage that are generally applicable to other employees and to the requirements of such plans and applicable laws) from this payment for a total of twelve (12) months. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent you elect COBRA continuation coverage, you will be responsible for timely making all payments for such coverage; and

iii.The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors shall extend the time for you to exercise your vested stock options until the earlier of (a) the one year anniversary of your Separation Date and (b) the maximum expiration date of the corresponding stock option. Both Parties agree and acknowledge that there may be tax implications to your vested and unvested stock options that result from subpart (i) and (iii) of this Paragraph 2(a) and the Company recommends you consult with a tax expert regarding said tax consequences. The Company acknowledges and agrees that you remain eligible to vest any equity awards scheduled to be vested during your Consultant Period.

b.Provided that you timely execute this Agreement as referenced in Paragraph 2(a), and provided that you timely execute the Supplemental Release Agreement attached as “Attachment B” to this Agreement after the Consultant Period but within the time period set forth therein, and do not thereafter revoke that Supplemental Release Agreement, the Company will provide you with the following as additional “Consideration,” following your Consultant Period:

i.The Company will pay you a lump sum payment in the gross amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) for which it will issue a Form 1099. The Company will make this

payment to you within twenty (20) calendar days following the expiration of the revocation period set forth therein.

ii.The Company shall forgive your obligation to repay to the Company the Relocation Stipend pursuant to Paragraph 5 of that certain Executive Employment Agreement, dated as of February 5, 2024, between you and the Company.

3.Withholding on Payments: Taxes, applicable withholding, and authorized or required deductions will be deducted from payments made to you in Paragraph 2(a)(ii) of this Agreement.

4.Employee Benefits: With the exception of Company-paid medical/hospitalization/ dental/vision insurance, any employee benefits, including but not limited to short-term disability insurance coverage, workers’ compensation insurance, fitness reimbursement, telephone reimbursement, and 401(k) plan participation, have terminated effective on your Separation Date. If enrolled, Company-paid medical, hospitalization, dental, and/or vision insurance terminated effective the last day of the month in which your Separation Date occurred.

5.COBRA: Regardless of whether you sign this Agreement, you may elect to continue medical, dental and vision insurance coverage at your own expense after your Separation Date, pursuant to a federal law known as COBRA. You will receive under separate cover information and enrollment forms regarding continuing insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA. Additionally, you may have other options available to you when you lose group health plan coverage, such as through the Health Insurance Marketplace, through a spouse’s plan or under Medicare. You are responsible for your selection of health insurance coverage following your Separation Date, and the Company has no obligation or liability with respect to such coverage.

6.Reimbursement of Business Expenses: You agree to submit to the Company’s Finance Department, no later than one week after the Separation Date and prior to the Company’s requirement to provide the Consideration set forth in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, appropriate documentation of all authorized business expenses incurred in connection with your performance of duties for the Company prior to the Separation Date, and the Company will reimburse you in accordance with Company policy.

7.Equity Awards: Your stock options and/or restricted stock units will be governed by the terms of the Company’s 2009 Stock Plan, as amended, the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, or the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as applicable (the “Equity Plans”). Any stock options or restricted stock units which are not vested as of the end of the Consultant Period shall be forfeited. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Equity Plan(s) and subject to Paragraph 2(a)(iii) of this Agreement, you may exercise vested stock options at any time through the earlier of (a) the date which is three (3) months following the end of your Consultant Period and (b) the expiration date of the corresponding stock option, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Equity Plans and the applicable Notice(s) of Grant of Stock Option. Both Parties acknowledge and agree that your transition from an employee of the Company to a consultant for the Company may impact the tax treatment of your equity awards (including with respect to any incentive stock options that you may have received from the Company), and that the Company has recommended that you consult with a tax professional prior to your execution of this Agreement.

8.Transition: After your Separation Date, you agree that you shall be available, upon reasonable notice, and for a reasonable time, to respond to questions and provide assistance to the Company regarding any Company business that occurred prior to your Separation Date.
