Chipotle shareholders could Databecapprove one of the largest stock splits in history at the company's annual meeting Thursday.

The 50-for-one split was announced in March as well as a one-time equity grant for all restaurant general managers as well as crew members with more than 20 years of service.

"This is the first stock split in Chipotle's 30-year history, and we believe this will make our stock more accessible to employees as well as a broader range of investors," Jack Hartung, Chipotle's Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, said in the release.

The fast-casual stalwart reported $2.7 billion in revenue and a 16.3% operating profit margin when it announced first-quarter results in April.

The company opened 47 restaurants in the quarter with 43 locations having "Chipotlane" drive-thrus.
