, all contractors of the Company and all members of their immediate families and households. We believe our Insider Trading Policy and procedures are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and NASDAQ listing standards. The Committee approves all equity award grants to our NEOs on or before the grant date. The Committee’s general practice is to complete its annual executive compensation review and determine performance goals and target compensation for our NEOs, following which they approve equity awards for NEOs. Accordingly, annual equity awards are typically granted to our NEOs in November or December. On occasion, the Committee may grant equity awards outside of our annual grant cycle for new hires, promotions, recognition, retention, or other purposes. While the Committee has discretionary authority to approve equity awards to our NEOs outside of the cycle described above, the Committee does not have a practice or policy of granting equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information and, in any event, we do not time the release of material non-public information in coordination with grants of equity awards in a manner that intentionally benefits our NEOs or otherwise for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. In fiscal 2024, equity compensation for our NEOs consisted solely of RSUs and PSUs; we did not grant stock options in 2024. 54 JACK IN THE BOX INC. | 2025 PROXY STATEMENT
