Prior to October 2006, the Company had an ownership interest in Chipotle Mexican Grill (Chipotle).  During 2006, the Company disposed of its investment in Chipotle through sales of shares and ultimately a tax-free exchange of all remaining shares held.

Chipotle was indeed partially owned by McDonald's Corp. McDonald's sold their majority interest in Chipotle in 2006.
