17 Years of Failed Leadership Cannot Be Undone in One More Year
The Time for Accountability Is Now
Under David Goebel's tenure as chairman, JACK shareholders have lost approximately
Shareholder Loss Is Mr. Goebel's Gain
In the last five years alone, the very years in which JACK lost
It is Time to Hold Mr. Goebel Accountable
Shareholders must acknowledge that after 17 years of failed leadership. Mr. Goebel will not suddenly generate positive returns given one more year.
The chairman has a negligible stake, yet he has caused the company to spend
His continued presence on the Board constrains meaningful boardroom discussion, blocking the fresh perspectives JACK urgently needs.
Removing Chairman Goebel Opens the Door to Real Change
If Mr. Goebel is removed from the Board, the possibility of genuine, unconstrained board discussion on how to change the Company's trajectory becomes real. We believe the market will react positively to his removal — a signal that entrenchment is ending and accountability has arrived.
One more year of Mr. Goebel's influence risks pushing JACK into financial distress from which it may be difficult to recover. The company has already been forced to suspend dividends and close 150–200 stores. This is not a moment for delay. This is a time for accountability. Shareholders must send the Board a message that performance must change. Do not support failure.
VOTE AGAINST DAVID GOEBEL. VOTE NOW.
If you have already voted, you can still change your vote before midnight ET. Only your last dated vote counts.
