**BIGLARI CAPITAL CORP.**

___________, 2026

Dear Fellow Jack in the Box Shareholder:

Biglari Capital Corp. ("Biglari Capital") and the other participants in this solicitation (collectively, "Biglari", "we" or "our") are the beneficial owners of an aggregate of 1,884,269 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Jack in the Box Inc., a Delaware corporation ("JACK" or the "Company"), representing approximately 9.97% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, making us one of the Company's largest shareholders.

For the reasons set forth in this Proxy Statement, we believe shareholders need to send a strong message to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") that the status quo is unacceptable. This message can be rendered by voting against the re-election of Chairman David Goebel.

We believe that, under the right leadership and oversight, JACK can achieve long-term success, and we remain committed to working with leadership toward that end. In our view, however, the incumbent Board does not have the right experience, skillset and/or willingness to address strategic missteps and reverse years of stockholder value destruction. As such, we felt compelled to take further action by bringing these issues directly to shareholders and allowing them to voice their dissatisfaction with the Board and the Company.

We are therefore seeking your support to vote **"AGAINST"** the re-election of **David Goebel** to the Board at the Company's 2026 annual meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on February 27, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time, which will be a completely "virtual meeting" of shareholders to be held at www.cesonlineservices.com/jack26_vm (including any adjournments or postponements thereof and any meeting called in lieu thereof, the "Annual Meeting"). By voting **"AGAINST"** the re-election of **Chairman David Goebel**, shareholders will be sending a strong message to the Board that meaningful change is required.

Shareholders have an important opportunity to have their voices heard at the upcoming Annual Meeting, and our proxy solicitation is a platform for shareholders to express their views regarding the Company and to influence the Board with respect to any decisions regarding David Goebel and accountability to shareholders.

The election of directors at the Annual Meeting requires that the number of shares of Common Stock voted "for" a nominee's election must exceed the number of shares of Common Stock voted "against" such nominee's election. **Importantly, under the Company's director resignation policy for uncontested elections, if an incumbent director does not receive the required votes for election at the Annual Meeting, such incumbent director must tender his or her resignation to the Board.** The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board will take action to determine whether to accept or reject the director's resignation, or whether other action is appropriate, and will make a recommendation to the Board. Within ninety (90) days following the date of the certification of the election results, the Board will act on the Nominating and Governance Committee's recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale for such decision. If our proxy solicitation results in any directors failing to be elected, we believe it would be highly inappropriate for any such director to continue to serve on the Board, and the failure of the Board to accept any such tendered resignations that may result from the Annual Meeting would be an egregious violation of proper corporate governance and in direct opposition to a clear shareholder directive.

We urge you to carefully consider the information contained in the attached Proxy Statement and then support our efforts by voting via the Internet, via phone, or by signing, dating, and returning the enclosed **GOLD** proxy card today. The attached Proxy Statement and the enclosed **GOLD** proxy card are first being furnished to the shareholders on or about [●], 2026.

**THIS SOLICITATION IS BEING MADE BY BIGLARI AND NOT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OR MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY.**

If you have already voted for the incumbent management slate on the Company's white proxy card, you have every right to change your vote by signing, dating, and returning a later-dated **GOLD** proxy card, or by voting virtually at the Annual Meeting.

If you have any questions or require any assistance with your vote, please contact Saratoga Proxy Consulting LLC, which is assisting us, at its address and the toll-free number listed on the following page.

&nbsp;&nbsp; *If you have any questions, require assistance in voting your **GOLD** proxy card,*<br> *or need additional copies of Biglari's proxy materials,*<br> *please contact:*<br>![A close-up of a business card Description automatically generated](image_001.jpg)<br> *Shareholders call toll-free at (888) 368-0379 or (212) 257-1311*<br> *Email: info@Saratogaproxy.com*<br>

 **REVISED PRELIMINARY COPY SUBJECT TO COMPLETION<br> DATED JANUARY 28, 2026**

**2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS<br> OF<br> Jack in the Box Inc.<br> _________________________<br>PROXY STATEMENT<br> OF<br> BIGLARI CAPITAL CORP.<br> _________________________<br>PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND MAIL THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD TODAY**

Biglari Capital Corp. ("Biglari Capital") and the other participants in this solicitation (collectively, "Biglari", "we" or "our") are significant shareholders of Jack in the Box Inc., a Delaware corporation ("JACK" or the "Company"), who collectively beneficially own an aggregate of 1,884,269 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company, representing approximately 9.97% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. We believe that shareholders must send a strong message to the Company's board of directors (the "Board") that neither the Company's current trajectory nor management's and the Board's stewardship and oversight of the Company are acceptable. Accordingly, we are seeking your support at the Company's 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, scheduled to be held on February 27, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time, which will be a completely "virtual meeting" of shareholders to be held at www.cesonlineservices.com/jack26_vm (including any adjournments or postponements thereof and any meeting called in lieu thereof, the "Annual Meeting"), to vote **"AGAINST"** the election of **Chairman David Goebel** (the "Opposed Company Nominee") to the Company's Board. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed **GOLD** proxy card are first being mailed to shareholders on or about [●], 2026.

In addition, our **GOLD** proxy card will also allow shareholders to vote on the following proposals that are being presented by the Company for shareholder consideration at the Annual Meeting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. To vote on the Company's proposal to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as
the Company's independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending September 27, 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. To vote on the Company's proposal to provide an advisory vote regarding the compensation of the
Company's named executive officers ("Say on Pay") for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2025, as set forth in the
Company's proxy statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. To vote on the Company's proposal to approve an amendment to the Jack in the Box Inc. 2023 Omnibus
Incentive Plan (the "2023 Plan") to increase the number of shares available for issuance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. To vote on the Company's proposal to ratify the adoption by the Board of the Stockholder Protection
Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. To consider such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

As of the date hereof, Biglari, which includes The Lion Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("The Lion Fund"), The Lion Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("The Lion Fund II"), Biglari Capital, a Texas limited liability company, Southern Pioneer Property and Casualty Insurance Company, an Arkansas corporation ("Southern Pioneer"), First Guard Insurance Company, an Arizona corporation ("First Guard"), Biglari Reinsurance Ltd., a Bermuda corporation ("Biglari Reinsurance"), Biglari Insurance Group Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Biglari Insurance"), Western Sizzlin Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Western Sizzlin"), Steak 'n Shake Inc., an Indiana corporation ("Steak 'n Shake"), Biglari Holdings Inc., an Indiana corporation ("Biglari Holdings"), and Sardar Biglari (collectively, the "Participants," and each, a "Participant"), collectively beneficially own 1,884,269 shares of Common Stock.

The Participants intend to vote their shares **"AGAINST"** the election of David Goebel and **"FOR"** the election of Guillermo Diaz, Jr., Mark King, Madeleine Kleiner, Michael Murphy, James Myers, Enrique Ramirez, Alan Smolinisky, Lance Tucker, and Vivien Yeung (collectively, the "Unopposed Company Nominees", and together with the Opposed Company Nominee, the "Company Nominees"), **"FOR"** the ratification of KPMG as the Company's independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending September 27, 2026, **"AGAINST"** the Company's Say on Pay proposal for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2025, **"AGAINST"** the approval of an amendment to the 2023 Plan, and **"AGAINST"** the ratification of the adoption by the Board of the Rights Agreement.

By voting **"AGAINST"** the election of Chairman **David Goebel**, we believe shareholders will be sending a strong message to the Board that they are dissatisfied with the status quo. Accordingly, we are urging you to vote **"AGAINST"** the election of **Mr. Goebel** as a director at the Annual Meeting.

This Proxy Statement and **GOLD** proxy card include the ability to vote for all the Company Nominees (both opposed and unopposed), including Guillermo Diaz, Jr., David Goebel, Mark King, Madeleine Kleiner, Michael Murphy, James Myers, Enrique Ramirez, Alan Smolinisky, Lance Tucker, and Vivien Yeung.

**BACKGROUND TO SOLICITATION**

The following is a chronology of events leading up to the proxy solicitation related to this Annual Meeting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On February 10, 2023, Biglari made a filing with the SEC disclosing aggregate beneficial ownership of
approximately 5.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On February 14, 2024, Biglari made a filing with the SEC disclosing an increase in its ownership to approximately
5.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· In late February 2024, Mr. Biglari met with representatives of the Company, including then-Chief Executive
Officer Darin Harris, regarding Biglari's investment in the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On
 May 14, 2024, Mr. Biglari participated in a follow-up call with Company representatives regarding
 Biglari's investment in the Company. Following this call, Mr. Biglari continued to
 engage with the Company, including having a number of calls and a meeting with the Company
 in 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On May 23, 2025, Mr. Biglari met with Lance Tucker, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and Ryan
Ostrom, the Company's Chief Customer and Digital Officer, to discuss, among other things, the Company's recent earnings call,
the "JACK on Track" plan, Biglari's investment in the Company and interest in purchasing additional shares, and the
Company's corporate governance. Mr. Biglari demonstrated to the Company's representatives ways in
which Steak 'n Shake had decreased food and labor costs and produced industry-leading same store sales.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On
 June 20, 2025, Mr. Biglari met with Mr. Tucker and discussed Biglari's intention to
 continue investing in the Company because of its belief the Company's shares represented
 an attractive investment opportunity, as well as his views on the Company's corporate
 governance. Mr. Biglari also requested the opportunity to meet with additional members of
 the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On July 2, 2025, despite the ongoing discussions with Mr. Biglari and Mr. Biglari's assurances to
the Company that Biglari would not increase its current ownership in the Company unless such investment was welcomed by the Company, the
Board adopted the Rights Agreement (as amended on September 8, 2025), also known as a "poison pill."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On July 10, 2025, Biglari made a filing with the SEC, disclosing beneficial ownership of approximately
9.98% of the outstanding Common Stock. The filing stated Biglari's intention to engage with the Board and management as a result
of the Company's adoption of the Rights Agreement, including, among other things, through discussions regarding potential changes
to the Company's operations and Board composition, and by making proposals regarding the same.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On
 July 15, 2025, Mr. Biglari met with Mr. Tucker, Chairman David Goebel, Director James Myers
 and Rachel Webb, VP of Finance and Investor Relations. Mr. Biglari expressed his interest
 in being appointed to the Board, explaining that the Company is in need of a large shareholder
 with turnaround experience in quick-serve restaurants. The parties also discussed the Company's
 "JACK on Track" plan and debt reduction priorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On August 18, 2025, Mr. Biglari and other representatives of Biglari met
with Messrs. Tucker, Goebel, and Myers and Ms. Webb. Mr. Biglari reiterated his interest in Board service. Mr. Biglari expressed
that he would like to see Mr. Tucker succeed in his role as CEO, which Mr. Biglari believed would require certain changes to address his
concerns with the Company. Mr. Goebel indicated that the Board would be open-minded to Mr. Biglari presenting candidates, including himself,
as part of the Board's director search process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On September 26, 2025, Mr. Biglari participated in a discussion with the
Nominating and Governance Committee regarding being added to the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On October 21, 2025, having not heard from the Company following Mr. Biglari's interview with the
Nominating and Governance Committee, counsel to Biglari requested the Company's director questionnaire as part of the nomination
process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On
 October 24, 2025, Mr. Goebel informed Mr. Biglari that, following the Nominating and Governance
 Committee's evaluation, the Board had determined not to proceed with his appointment.
 Mr. Biglari indicated that, in light of the Board's determination, and despite his
 attempts to constructively engage with the Company in order to correct the issues that Mr.
 Biglari had previously identified, he may be compelled to pursue a proxy contest at the Company
 to bring these issues directly to shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On October 31, 2025, Biglari submitted a formal notice of its intent to nominate Mr. Biglari and Douglas
Thompson for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting, and filed an amendment to its Schedule 13D on November 3, 2025 announcing the
delivery of its notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Also on November 3, 2025, the Company announced that it had entered into
a nomination and cooperation agreement with GreenWood Investors, LLC ("GreenWood"), pursuant to which Alan Smolinisky and
Mark King would be appointed to the Board, effective November 7, 2025. In connection with this agreement, the Board expanded its size
from eight to ten directors and agreed to limit any further increase in Board size absent GreenWood's consent. The announcement
followed the Board's decision not to proceed with Mr. Biglari's appointment, despite Biglari's substantial ownership
stake and Mr. Biglari's expertise, and participation in the Company's director evaluation process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On December 16, 2025, the Company filed its preliminary proxy statement in connection with the Annual
Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On December 23, 2025, Biglari delivered a notice to the Company withdrawing
its nomination of Mr. Biglari.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Also
 on December 23, 2025, Biglari filed its preliminary proxy statement in connection with the
 Annual Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On
 December 30, 2025, the Company filed its revised preliminary proxy statement in connection
 with the Annual Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· From
 January 2, 2026 until January 16, 2026, counsel for Biglari and the Company held discussions
 regarding the possible addition of an independent candidate proposed by Biglari to the Board,
 including interviews of two such individuals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On
 January 14, 2026, Biglari delivered a notice to the Company withdrawing its nomination of
 Mr. Thompson, and filed an amendment to its Schedule 13D on January 14, 2026 announcing the
 delivery of its notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On
 January 20, 2026, the Company filed its second revised preliminary proxy statement in connection
 with the Annual Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On
 January 21, 2026, the Company filed its definitive proxy statement in connection with the
 Annual Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Also
 on January 21, 2026, Biglari filed its revised preliminary proxy statement in connection
 with the Annual Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On
 January 23, 2026, Biglari filed its second revised preliminary proxy statement in connection
 with the Annual Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· On
 January 28, 2026, Biglari filed this third revised preliminary proxy statement in connection
 with the Annual Meeting.

**REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION**

We invested in the Company nearly three years ago with a firm belief that, under the right leadership and oversight, it can achieve long-term success. We have made every effort to work constructively with the Board and management toward that end. However, the Board refused to engage with us in good faith, and it has become painfully obvious that the Board lacks the skills and knowledge to turn around the Company's operations, underestimates financial risk, makes poor capital allocation decisions, appears more interested in the social aspects of Board participation, and is in dire need of long overdue change.

The Board includes four directors with tenures of at least 14 years – David Goebel (17 years), Madeleine Kleiner (14 years), Michael Murphy (23 years), and James Myers (15 years). These long-tenured directors, led by Chairman Goebel, have presided over numerous strategic missteps and years of shareholder value destruction. We believe Chairman Goebel is the individual who bears the greatest responsibility for these failures. His restaurant experience has actually been a detriment to the Company, as evidenced by its poor capital allocation and strategic decision-making under his stewardship. In our interactions with Mr. Goebel, it has become apparent that he has created a Board environment that is more focused on friendship and collegiality than accountability to shareholders, critical problem-solving and driving much needed change.

Just in the last decade, these directors have overseen three CEO changes: Leonard "Lenny" Comma, Darin Harris, and Lance Tucker.

These directors not only failed to ensure management stability but also approved M&A transactions and capital expenditures that failed to deliver promised results and resulted in massive shareholder value destruction. JACK's total shareholder return ("TSR") has vastly underperformed its peer group and the Russell 3000 Index over the last 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods.<sup>1</sup>

**Total Shareholder Return as of January 16, 2026**

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 1-year | 3-year | 5-year | 10-year |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Proxy Peer (median) | 2.2% | 7.8% | (10.9%) | 17.4% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Russell 3000 | 17.7% | 78.0% | 86.8% | 323.1% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Jack in the Box | (41.1%) | (67.6%) | (74.3%) | (61.4%) |

On April 23, 2025, JACK announced the "Jack on Track" strategy that was intended to present a roadmap for turning around the Company. Since then, JACK's TSR is negative (9.6%) compared to a positive 13.4% for its peer group (median).<sup>2</sup>

We believe that the Del Taco debacle not only epitomizes the Board's capital allocation failures and record of poor oversight, but also demonstrates why shareholders must take action now. In 2021, the Board approved the acquisition of Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. for $575 million with a stated purpose to "create substantial opportunities for growth and increased profitability."<sup>3</sup> The transaction failed spectacularly to deliver on the expected benefits touted by the Company at the time. Just four years later, in December 2025, the Board, under the same incumbent leadership, announced that the Company sold Del Taco for just $119 million,<sup>4</sup> representing a nearly **80% loss**.

How can shareholders trust a Board that just squandered $460 million?

During the past year, we engaged with JACK to offer actionable, value-enhancing ideas. We recommended that the Company focus on improving restaurant traffic and paying down debt, and made a number of suggestions regarding its capital allocation strategy. However, as we made more of an effort to engage with the Board and management, it became increasingly clear that they were more interested in pursuing defensive mechanisms to entrench themselves at the expense of shareholders, including the (i) adoption of a poison pill despite our stated intention to the Board that we would not acquire any additional shares unless invited to do so, and (ii) entry into a cooperation agreement with GreenWood, an investor that, at the time, held only a small, undisclosed ownership stake in the Company, that added directors with no relevant restaurant turnaround experience.

Although when we first sought to engage with the Board, we had no intention of running a proxy contest, the extreme erosion of shareholder value, coupled with the Board's questionable corporate governance tactics, have made it clear to us that change is desperately needed on the Board, starting at the top, with the individual who we believe sets the tone for the others. Accordingly, we urge shareholders to make their voices heard and to hold the Board accountable by voting **"AGAINST"** the election of Chairman David Goebel.

**PROPOSAL ONE**

**ELECTION OF DIRECTORS**

The Board is currently composed of ten (10) directors, each with a term expiring at the Annual Meeting. For the reasons set forth above, we are seeking your support at the Annual Meeting to vote **"AGAINST"** the election of **David Goebel**.

The Company has adopted a majority of the votes cast standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections. Since we are not proposing an alternate slate of directors, the election is considered to be uncontested despite our opposition to the election of Mr. Goebel. According to the Bylaws, a nominee for director shall be elected to the Board if the number of votes cast "for" such nominee's election exceeds the number of votes cast "against" such nominee's election. The Bylaws and the Company's proxy statement also set forth a director resignation policy for uncontested elections, which provides that if an incumbent director is not re-elected, the director shall tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee will take action to determine whether to accept or reject the director's resignation, or whether other action is appropriate, and will make a recommendation to the Board. Within ninety (90) days following the date of the certification of the election results, the Board will act on the Nominating and Governance Committee's recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale for such decision.

Accordingly, if we are successful in soliciting your support to vote **"AGAINST"** the election of Mr. Goebel, such that he receives more votes **"AGAINST"** his election than votes "FOR" his election at the Annual Meeting, Mr. Goebel must tender his resignation.

For the avoidance of doubt, even if Mr. Goebel is not re-elected to the Board at the Annual Meeting, if the remaining Company Nominees are re-elected at the Annual Meeting, they will constitute a majority of the Board. In addition, even if Mr. Goebel is not re-elected to the Board at the Annual Meeting and tenders his resignation in accordance with the Company's director resignation policy, and the Board ultimately determines to accept such resignation, the Board may nonetheless reappoint Mr. Goebel to the Board after the Annual Meeting under the Company's governing documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the reasons set forth above, we urge shareholders to join us in voting **"AGAINST"** the re-election of Mr. Goebel.

This Proxy Statement and the enclosed **GOLD** proxy card include the ability to vote for all Company Nominees (both opposed and unopposed), including Guillermo Diaz, Jr., David Goebel, Mark King, Madeleine Kleiner, Michael Murphy, James Myers, Enrique Ramirez, Alan Smolinisky, Lance Tucker, and Vivien Yeung. Please note, however, that the Company Nominees are not Biglari's nominees and are the nominees of the Company. Because the Company Nominees are not Biglari's nominees, they are not participants in this solicitation. We can provide no assurance that any of the Company Nominees will serve as directors if elected. The names, backgrounds, and qualifications of the Company Nominees, and other information about them, can be found in the Company's proxy statement.

According to the Company's proxy statement, for purposes of determining the votes cast, only those votes cast "FOR" or "AGAINST" are included. Neither a vote to "ABSTAIN" nor a broker non-vote will count as a vote cast "FOR" or "AGAINST" a director nominee and, as a result, will have no direct effect on the outcome of the election of directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.

 **IF YOU MARK FEWER THAN A TOTAL OF TEN (10) "FOR," "AGAINST" OR "ABSTAIN" BOXES WITH RESPECT TO THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, OUR GOLD PROXY CARD, WHEN DULY EXECUTED, WILL BE VOTED ONLY AS DIRECTED. IF NO DIRECTION IS INDICATED WITH RESPECT TO HOW YOU WISH TO VOTE YOUR SHARES, THE PROXIES NAMED THEREIN WILL VOTE SUCH SHARES "AGAINST" THE OPPOSED COMPANY NOMINEE AND "FOR" THE UNOPPOSED COMPANY NOMINEES.**

**WE STRONGLY URGE YOU TO VOTE "AGAINST" THE ELECTION OF DAVID GOEBEL ON THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES "AGAINST" HIS RE-ELECTION.**

**WE MAKE NO RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE ELECTION OF THE UNOPPOSED COMPANY NOMINEES AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES "FOR" THE UNOPPOSED COMPANY NOMINEES.**

**PROPOSAL TWO**

**RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS**

As discussed in further detail in the Company's proxy statement, the Audit Committee of the Board (the "Audit Committee") has appointed the firm of KPMG as the Company's independent registered public accountants for fiscal year 2026. The following proposal will be presented at the Annual Meeting:

Action by the Audit Committee appointing KPMG as the Company's independent registered public accountants to conduct the annual audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending September 27, 2026, is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved.

According to the Company's proxy statement, if shareholders fail to ratify the appointment of KPMG, the Audit Committee will reconsider the selection to determine, in its discretion, whether to retain KPMG or to select a different registered public accountant. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent auditing firm at any time during the year.

According to the Company's proxy statement, approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereat and thereon such proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal.

**WE MAKE NO RECOMMENDATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS PROPOSAL AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL.**

**PROPOSAL THREE**

**Advisory Vote on** **EXECUTIVE Compensation**

As discussed in further detail in the Company's proxy statement, as required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, shareholders have the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, narrative disclosures, and related footnotes included in the Company's proxy statement. According to the Company's proxy statement, this "Say on Pay" vote is advisory, and therefore nonbinding on the Company; however, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee"), which is comprised entirely of independent directors, will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions. Accordingly, the Company is asking shareholders to vote on the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

"RESOLVED, that Jack in the Box Inc. shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers as described narrative disclosures in this Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders."

We recommend that shareholders vote **"AGAINST"** the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, who have presided over the significant destruction of shareholder value.

According to the Company's proxy statement, approval of the Say on Pay proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereat and thereon such proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal.

**WE RECOMMEND SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "AGAINST" THIS PROPOSAL AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES "AGAINST" THIS PROPOSAL.**

**PROPOSAL FOUR**

**Approval of Amendment to Jack in the Box 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan to Increase the Number of Shares AVAILABLE for Issuance**

As discussed in further detail in the Company's proxy statement, the Company is asking shareholders to approve the amendment to the 2023 Plan. The amendment to the 2023 Plan was approved by the Compensation Committee on December 5, 2025, subject to shareholder approval of this Proposal Four.

According to the Company's proxy statement, the Company's shareholders' approval of this Proposal Four will allow the Company to grant equity to employees and other plan participants at market levels determined appropriate by the Board or Compensation Committee. If shareholders do not approve this Proposal Four, the Company will not be able to grant any equity incentive awards to the Company's current employees and directors.

The Company's proxy statement states that if this Proposal Four is approved by shareholders, the amendment to the 2023 Plan will become effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting. In the event that shareholders do not approve this Proposal Four, the amendment to the 2023 Plan will not go into effect and the Company will not have the necessary shares available to award annual equity grants.

According to the Company's proxy statement, if this Proposal Four is approved by the Company's shareholders, then subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Company's capitalization, JACK will have 2,260,000 new shares available for issuance under the 2023 Plan in addition to the remaining shares available for future grants under the 2023 Plan, plus the Prior Plan Returning Shares (as defined in the 2023 Plan), as such shares become available from time to time.

We recommend shareholders vote **"AGAINST"** this proposal as we believe management should not continue to reward itself for its failures.

According to the Company's proxy statement, approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions will be included in the number of shares present and entitled to vote and will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" this proposal. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote uninstructed shares on this matter.

**WE RECOMMEND SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "AGAINST" THIS PROPOSAL AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES "AGAINST" THIS PROPOSAL.**

**PROPOSAL FIVE**

**RATIFICATION of the Adoption by the Board of the<br> Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement**

As discussed in further detail in the Company's proxy statement, on July 1, 2025, the Board determined to adopt the original Rights Agreement and declared a dividend of one right (a "Right") for each outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on July 14, 2025, or issued thereafter and prior to the Separation Time (as defined in the Company's proxy statement). The Rights Agreement was amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Rights Agreement, dated September 8, 2025.

Each Right, upon becoming exercisable, will entitle its registered holder to purchase from the Company, after the Separation Time, one one-thousandth of a share of Participating Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, for $90.00, subject to adjustment. The holders of the Rights, solely by reason of their ownership of Rights, have no additional rights as shareholders of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends. Until the Separation Time, the Rights are evidenced by, and trade with, the Common Stock certificates or, in the case of uncertificated shares of Common Stock, by the registration of the associated Common Stock on the Company's stock transfer books, and are not exercisable.

The Rights Agreement is set to expire at the close of business on July 1, 2026, unless it is ratified by shareholders, in which event the Rights Agreement will expire on July 1, 2028, in accordance with its terms.

For additional information regarding the Rights and the Rights Agreement, please refer to the Company's proxy statement.

Biglari believes that a shareholder rights plan, also known as a poison pill — like the one JACK seeks to have ratified at the Annual Meeting — will limit the Company's future stock price. We firmly contend that the poison pill entrenches Board members, limiting their accountability to shareholders. We believe a poison pill disenfranchises shareholders and insulates the Board from accountability.

Furthermore, we believe JACK's poison pill will have a negative effect on its stock price. Limiting the number of shares that shareholders can purchase limits demand, which therefore can negatively impact market price. In our view, this restriction also removes optionality for investors. We believe options have value; by removing options, shareholder value is reduced.

Consequently, we strongly recommend that you vote **"AGAINST"** the poison pill because we believe that it is unnecessary, embeds the Board, and has the effect of reducing JACK's stock price.

According to the Company's proxy statement, approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereat and thereon such proposal. Abstentions will be included in the number of shares present and entitled to vote and will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the proposal.

**WE RECOMMEND SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "AGAINST" THIS PROPOSAL AND INTEND TO VOTE OUR SHARES "AGAINST" THIS PROPOSAL.**

**VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES**

Only shareholders of record on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. Shareholders who sell shares of Common Stock before the Record Date (or acquire them without voting rights after the Record Date) may not vote such shares of Common Stock. Shareholders of record on the Record Date will retain their voting rights in connection with the Annual Meeting even if they sell such shares of Common Stock after the Record Date. Based on publicly available information, we believe that the only outstanding class of securities of the Company entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is the shares of Common Stock.

Shares of Common Stock represented by properly executed **GOLD** proxy cards will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked and, in the absence of specific instructions, will be voted **"AGAINST"** the election of **David Goebel** and **"FOR"** the election of the Unopposed Company Nominees to the Board, **"FOR"** the ratification of KPMG as the Company's independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending September 27, 2026, **"AGAINST"** the Company's Say on Pay proposal for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2025, **"AGAINST"** the approval of an amendment to the 2023 Plan, and **"AGAINST"** the ratification of the adoption by the Board of the Rights Agreement.

This Proxy Statement and the enclosed **GOLD** proxy card include the ability to vote for all Company Nominees (both opposed and unopposed), including Guillermo Diaz, Jr., David Goebel, Mark King, Madeleine Kleiner, Michael Murphy, James Myers, Enrique Ramirez, Alan Smolinisky, Lance Tucker, and Vivien Yeung. The Company Nominees are not Biglari's nominees and are the nominees of the Company. The names, backgrounds, and qualifications of the Company Nominees, and other information about them, can be found in the Company's proxy statement. We can provide no assurance that any of the Company Nominees will serve as directors if elected.

 **IF YOU MARK FEWER THAN A TOTAL OF TEN (10) "FOR," "AGAINST" OR "ABSTAIN" BOXES WITH RESPECT TO THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, OUR GOLD PROXY CARD, WHEN DULY EXECUTED, WILL BE VOTED ONLY AS DIRECTED. IF NO DIRECTION IS INDICATED WITH RESPECT TO HOW YOU WISH TO VOTE YOUR SHARES, THE PROXIES NAMED THEREIN WILL VOTE SUCH SHARES "AGAINST" THE OPPOSED COMPANY NOMINEE AND "FOR" THE UNOPPOSED COMPANY NOMINEES.** 

**VIRTUAL MEETING**

The Company has disclosed that the Annual Meeting will take place in a virtual meeting format only. Shareholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

In order to virtually attend, you (or your authorized representative) must pre-register at www.cesonlineservices.com/jack26_vm by 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time on February 26, 2026.

If you were a shareholder of record as of the close of business on the Record Date, you may register to attend the Annual Meeting by accessing www.cesonlineservices.com/jack26_vm. Please have your **GOLD** proxy card containing your control number available and follow the instructions to complete your registration request. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with a link and instructions for accessing the Annual Meeting. Please verify that you have received the confirmation email in advance of the Annual Meeting, including the possibility that it may be in your spam or junk folder. Requests to register to participate in the Annual Meeting must be received no later than 8:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on February 26, 2026.

If you do not have your **GOLD** proxy card, you may still register to attend the Annual Meeting by accessing www.cesonlineservices.com/jack26_vm, but you will need to provide proof of ownership of shares of Common Stock as of the record date during the registration process. Such proof of ownership may include a copy of your proxy card received either from the Company or Biglari or a statement showing your ownership as of the Record Date.

If you were the beneficial owner of shares (that is, you held your shares in street name through an intermediary such as a broker, bank or other nominee) as of the record date, you may register to attend the Annual Meeting by accessing www.cesonlineservices.com/jack26_vm and providing evidence during the registration process that you beneficially owned shares of Common Stock as of the record date, which may consist of a copy of the voting instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other nominee, an account statement or a letter or legal proxy from such broker, bank or other nominee.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email prior to the Annual Meeting with a link and instructions for entering the virtual Annual Meeting.

Although the meeting webcast will begin at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on February 27, 2026, we encourage you to access the meeting site prior to the start time to allow ample time to log into the meeting webcast and test your computer system. Accordingly, the Annual Meeting site will first be accessible to registered shareholders beginning at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on February 27, 2026, the day of the meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to sign, date and return the enclosed **GOLD** proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided, or vote via the Internet or by telephone, as instructed on the **GOLD** proxy card. Additional information and Biglari's proxy materials can also be found at www.[●].com. If you have any difficulty following the registration process, please email our proxy solicitor at info@saratogaproxy.com.

Beneficial owners of shares are encouraged to vote in advance of the Annual Meeting. If you intend to vote during the Annual Meeting, as a beneficial shareholder you must obtain a legal proxy from your brokerage firm or bank. Most brokerage firms or banks allow a shareholder to obtain a legal proxy either online or by mail. Follow the instructions provided by your brokerage firm or bank. If you have requested a legal proxy online, and you have not received an email with your legal proxy within two business days of your request, contact your brokerage firm or bank.

If you have requested a legal proxy by mail, and you have not received it within five business days of your request, contact your brokerage firm or bank. You may submit your legal proxy either (i) in advance of the Annual Meeting by attaching the legal proxy and a proxy card with your voting instructions (or an image thereof in PDF, JPEG, GIF or PNG file format) in an email to info@Saratogaproxy.com or (ii) along with your voting ballot during the Annual Meeting. We must have your legal proxy in order for your vote submitted during the Annual Meeting to be valid. To avoid any technical difficulties on the day of the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to submit your legal proxy in advance of the Annual Meeting by attaching the legal proxy and a proxy card with your voting instructions (or an image thereof in PDF, JPEG, GIF or PNG file format) in an email to info@Saratogaproxy.com to ensure that your vote is counted, rather than wait to upload the legal proxy during the Annual Meeting. Multiple legal proxies must be combined into one document for purposes of uploading them with your ballot on the Annual Meeting website.

**Quorum; Broker Non-Votes; Discretionary Voting**

A quorum is the minimum number of shares of Common Stock that must be represented at a duly called meeting in person or by proxy in order to legally conduct business at the meeting. According to the Company's proxy statement, a quorum will be present if the holders of at least a majority of the total number of shares of Common Stock entitled to vote are present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and shares represented by broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. If there are insufficient votes to constitute a quorum at the time of the Annual Meeting, the Company may adjourn the Annual Meeting to solicit additional proxies.

In addition, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote (a "broker non-vote"). Under applicable rules, your broker will not have discretionary authority to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting on any of the proposals if you receive proxy materials from both the Company and Biglari.

If you are a shareholder of record, you may deliver your vote via the Internet or by mail or attend the Annual Meeting shareholder, to be counted in the determination of a quorum.

If you are a beneficial owner, your broker will vote your shares pursuant to your instructions, and those shares will count in the determination of a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner has discretionary authority to vote on "routine" matters brought before a shareholder meeting, but the beneficial owner of the shares fails to provide the broker with specific instructions on how to vote on any "non-routine" matters brought to a vote at the shareholder meeting. Under the rules governing brokers' discretionary authority, if a shareholder receives proxy materials from or on behalf of both us and the Company, then brokers holding shares in such shareholder's account will not be permitted to exercise discretionary authority regarding any of the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, whether "routine" or not. As a result, there would be no broker non-votes by such brokers. In such case, if you do not submit any voting instructions to your broker, then your shares will not be counted in determining the outcome of any of the proposals at the Annual Meeting, nor will your shares be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. However, if you receive proxy materials only from the Company, then brokers will be entitled to vote your shares on "routine" matters without instructions from you. The only proposal that would be considered "routine" in such event is Proposal 2 (ratification of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm). A broker will not be entitled to vote your shares on any "non-routine" matters, absent instructions from you. We urge you to instruct your broker about how you wish your shares to be voted.

**Votes Required for Approval**

*Proposal 1: Election of Directors* – According to the Company's proxy statement, in the election of directors, you may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN." In an election such as this, where the number of director nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected, each director will be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast (in person or by proxy) with respect to the director. A "majority of votes cast" means that the number of shares cast "FOR" a director's election exceeds the number of votes cast "AGAINST" that director. For purposes of determining the votes cast, only those votes cast "FOR" or "AGAINST" are included. Neither a vote to "ABSTAIN" nor a broker non-vote will count as a vote cast "FOR" or "AGAINST" a director nominee and, as a result, will have no direct effect on the outcome of the election of directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.

*Proposal 2: Ratification of the Appointment of KPMG LLP as Independent Registered Public Accountants* – According to the Company's proxy statement, approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereat and thereon such proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal.

*Proposal 3: Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation –* According to the Company's proxy statement, approval of the Say on Pay proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereat and thereon such proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal.

*Proposal 4: Approval of Amendment to Jack in the Box Inc. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan to Increase the Number of Shares for Issuance* – According to the Company's proxy statement, approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions will be included in the number of shares present and entitled to vote and will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" this proposal. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote uninstructed shares on this matter.

*Proposal 5: Ratification of the Adoption by the Board of the Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement* – According to the Company's proxy statement, approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereat and thereon such proposal. Abstentions will be included in the number of shares present and entitled to vote and will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the proposal.

If you sign and submit your **GOLD** proxy card without specifying how you would like your shares voted, your shares will be voted as specified above and in accordance with the discretion of the persons named on the **GOLD** proxy card with respect to any other matters that may be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

**Revocation of Proxies**

Shareholders of the Company may revoke their proxies at any time prior to exercise by attending the Annual Meeting and voting virtually (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy), by voting again through the Internet, by delivering a written notice of revocation, or by signing and delivering a subsequently dated proxy which is properly completed. The latest dated proxy is the only one that will be counted. The revocation may be delivered either to Biglari in care of Saratoga at the address set forth on the back cover of this Proxy Statement or to the Company at 9357 Spectrum Center Blvd, San Diego, California 92123, or any other address provided by the Company. Although a revocation is effective if delivered to the Company, Biglari requests that either the original or photostatic copies of all revocations be mailed to Biglari in care of Saratoga at the address set forth on the back cover of this Proxy Statement so that we will be aware of all revocations and can more accurately determine if and when proxies have been received from the holders of record on the Record Date of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Additionally, Saratoga may use this information to contact shareholders who have revoked their proxies in order to solicit later dated proxies.

**IF YOU WISH TO JOIN US IN VOTING "AGAINST" THE ELECTION OF DAVID GOEBEL, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTE BY INTERNET ON THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD. ALTERNATIVELY, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET, PLEASE SIGN, DATE, AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD TODAY IN THE POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED.**

**SOLICITATION OF PROXIES**

The solicitation of proxies pursuant to this Proxy Statement is being made by Biglari. Proxies may be solicited by mail, facsimile, telephone, Internet, in person and by advertisements. Solicitations may be made by certain of the respective directors, officers, members and employees of Biglari, none of whom will, except as described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, receive additional compensation for such solicitation.

Biglari has entered into an agreement with Saratoga for solicitation and advisory services in connection with this solicitation, for which Saratoga will receive a fee not to exceed $100,000, together with reimbursement for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, and will be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws. Saratoga will solicit proxies from individuals, brokers, banks, bank nominees and other institutional holders. Biglari has requested banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward all solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock they hold of record. Biglari will reimburse these record holders for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in so doing. In addition, directors, officers, members and certain other employees of Biglari may solicit proxies as part of their duties in the normal course of their employment without any additional compensation. It is anticipated that Saratoga will employ approximately 15 persons to solicit the Company's shareholders for the Annual Meeting.

The entire expense of soliciting proxies is being borne by Biglari. Costs of this solicitation of proxies are currently estimated to be approximately $[●] (including, but not limited to, fees for attorneys, solicitors, and other advisors, and other costs incidental to the solicitation). Biglari estimates that through the date hereof, its expenses in connection with this solicitation are approximately $[●]. To the extent legally permissible, if Biglari is successful in its proxy solicitation, Biglari intends to seek reimbursement from the Company of all expenses it incurs in connection with its solicitation of proxies at the Annual Meeting. If such reimbursement is approved by the Board, Biglari does not intend to submit the question of such reimbursement to a vote of security holders of the Company.
