Shareholder Recommendations and Board Nominations ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In order to be evaluated pursuant to the Nominating and Governance Committee’s established procedures, shareholder recommendations for candidates for the Board must be sent in writing to the following address at least 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the previous year’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders: Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors c/o Office of the Corporate Secretary Jack in the Box Inc. 9357 Spectrum Center Blvd. San Diego, CA 92123 Any recommendation submitted by a shareholder to the Nominating and Governance Committee must include the same information concerning the potential candidate and the recommending shareholder as would be required under Article III, Section 3.16 of the Jack in the Box Inc. Bylaws if the shareholder wished to nominate the candidate directly. The Committee considers all candidates regardless of the source of the recommendation. In addition to shareholder recommendations, the Committee considers recommendations from current directors, Company personnel and others. The Company generally retains a search firm to assist it in identifying and screening candidates, and in conducting reference checks. The Committee applies the same standards in evaluating candidates submitted by shareholders as it does in evaluating candidates submitted by other sources. A candidate nominated by a shareholder for election at an Annual Meeting of Shareholders will not be eligible for election unless the shareholder proposing the nominee has provided timely notice of the nomination in accordance with the deadlines (at least 120 days and no more than 150 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the previous year’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders) and other requirements set forth in the Company’s Bylaws. Article III, Section 3.16 of the Company’s Bylaws provides that, in order to be eligible for election as a director, a candidate must deliver to the Corporate Secretary statements indicating whether the candidate:

| • |     | is a party to any voting commitment that has not been disclosed to the Company; |

| • |     | is a party to any voting commitment that could limit the nominee’s ability to carry out a director’s fiduciary duties; |

| • |     | is a party to any arrangements for compensation, reimbursement, or indemnification in connection with service as a director and has committed not to become a party to any such arrangement; and |

| • |     | will comply with the Company’s publicly disclosed policies and guidelines. |

The foregoing is a summary of provisions of the Company’s Bylaws and is
