Amendment Description This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this "Amendment") amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated (the "Company") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 12, 2020 (the "Form 10-K"). In the Form 10-K, the Company inadvertently omitted the "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm" (the "Audit Report") of its prior auditors (PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP) for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2018. The Audit Report was signed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and delivered to the Company prior to the original filing of the Form 10-K, but the Audit Report was inadvertently omitted from the Form 10-K.This Form 10-K/A is being filed solely to include the inadvertently omitted Audit Report for PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP relating to the Company's consolidated financial statements. No other changes were made to the Audit Report or to the Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements have remained the same as that previously filed in the Form 10-K.This Amendment reflects information as of the filing date of the Form 10-K, does not reflect events occurring after that date and does not modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Form 10-K, except as specifically noted above.In accordance with Rule 12b-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment includes new certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, dated as of the filing date of this Amendment.
