(d) On September 30, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Texas Roadhouse, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), authorized an increase in the number of directors, which constitute the entire Board, from six to seven, effective as of October 1, 2021.

Ms. Epps will serve on the following committees of the Company’s Board: Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance.
Ms. Epps, age 57, was appointed as a director because of her extensive audit, risk, financial and accounting experience arising from her over 31 years with Deloitte LLP, and extensive board experience through her current board service on SAIA Inc. (NASDAQ: SAIA) and on Texas Pacific Land Trust (NYSE: TPL). As a result, Ms. Epps possesses particular knowledge and experience that strengthens the Board’s collective qualifications, skills and experience.
Ms. Epps will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s previously adopted non-employee director compensation schedule. In connection with her appointment, the Compensation Committee granted Ms. Epps 500 restricted stock units, all of which will vest on January 8, 2022, provided she continues to serve on such date.
