Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation . In the event of a CIC, accounts shall be distributed in accordance with the participant’s existing distribution election (on termination of employment or under a scheduled in-service withdrawal). 65 JACK IN THE BOX INC. | 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

| EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION |

Potential Payments on Termination of Employment or Change in Control The table below illustrates the potential payments and benefits our current NEOs would be entitled to (1) in the event of a termination of employment not related to a CIC ("non-CIC"), and (2) in the event of a termination related to a CIC ("CIC/Qualifying Termination"). All references to “CIC” refer to a “Company CIC” as defined in the Compensation & Benefits Assurance Agreements section above. The potential payments assume that the termination and/or CIC occurred on the last day of fiscal 2024, September 29, 2024, and, where applicable, use the closing price of our Common Stock of $45.41 on September 27, 2024 (the last market trading day in the fiscal year). The actual amounts to which a NEO may be eligible to receive can only be determined at the time of such termination or CIC, and therefore, the actual amounts will vary from the estimated amounts in the table below for any NEO who did not terminate service as of the last day of fiscal 2024. The actual payment for Mr. Gordon, who retired and separated service with the Company during fiscal 2024, is described in the section after the table.
