 which they must hold 50% of after-tax net shares resulting from the vesting of PSUs and RSUs until the executive has met their multiple of base salary stock ownership requirement. These requirements are intended to encourage our executive officers to have a meaningful long-term financial stake in the Company and to align their financial interests with those of our shareholders.

| STOCK OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENT |     |                  |
| Chief Executive Officer     |     | 6.0x base salary |
| Executive Vice Presidents   |     | 3.0x base salary |
| Senior Vice Presidents      |     | 1.5x base salary |

Our executive officers are expected to meet their stock ownership requirement within five years from the date they first became subject to the requirement either upon hire or upon becoming an executive officer. Each year the Committee reviews the stock ownership of our NEOs relative to their respective stock ownership requirements. For purposes of this determination, stock ownership includes all direct holdings and unvested, time-based RSUs but not unearned PSUs or stock options. As of fiscal year end 2024, each of our NEOs currently serving is progressing towards meeting their requirement within the established transition period for compliance. b. Executive Benefits Our NEOs and other executive officers receive the same benefits as those generally available to other employees in the Company, including the same level of technology allowances provided to employees for use of their personal cell phone, internet and other related technology for business purposes. Both Company-subsidized and voluntary benefit programs are provided and include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and disability coverage. Additionally, the Company provides executive officers, including our NEOs, with an enhanced level of employer-paid term life insurance with a value of $770,000. c. Retirement Plans The Company’s retirement plans are designed to provide our employees, including our NEOs and other executives, with some retirement income security. These plans reward for service and provide an additional incentive for our employees to build long-term careers at Jack in the Box.
