Senior secured notes are loans a company sells to investors that are backed by specific assets and given first priority for repayment if the company defaults. Because they have a claim on collateral and are paid before other debts, they usually offer lower risk and correspondingly lower interest than unsecured debt; investors use them to judge how safe repayment and recovery of principal might be, like holding a mortgage instead of an unsecured credit card balance.
variable funding notesfinancial
Variable funding notes are short-term debt instruments that function like adjustable-rate IOUs issued by a borrower to raise cash for a limited period. The interest rate or repayment schedule can change over time, similar to a loan with a variable interest rate, so they help issuers manage short-term funding needs. Investors care because these notes affect liquidity, yield and credit exposure — higher income potential can come with greater interest-rate and repayment risk.
securitized debtfinancial
Securitized debt is a pool of loans or receivables that has been bundled and turned into tradable securities sold to investors. Think of it as slicing a big loaf of IOUs into smaller pieces you can buy; investors receive the loan payments as income while taking on the credit and repayment risks of the underlying borrowers. It matters because it spreads risk, affects liquidity and yield in markets, and can amplify losses if many borrowers default.
securitized financing facilityfinancial
A securitized financing facility is a loan or line of credit that is backed by a pool of financial assets—such as loans, leases, or receivables—packaged together and used as collateral. Think of it like borrowing money against a bundled set of IOUs: the lender looks to the payments from that bundle, not the borrower’s general cash, for repayment. Investors watch these facilities because they affect a company’s access to cash, the risk that asset payments will fall short, and how much debt appears on the balance sheet.
offeringfinancial
An offering is when a company makes stocks or bonds available for sale—either by issuing new ones to raise money or by allowing existing holders to sell. It matters to investors because offerings change how much ownership or debt is on the market, can dilute existing shareholders or alter interest obligations, and often moves the share price; think of it like a household selling or borrowing against an asset to pay for a big expense.
registration requirementsregulatory
Registration requirements are the legal steps a company or security must complete with regulators before offering shares, bonds, or certain products to the public. They matter to investors because these rules force companies to disclose key facts—like financials, risks, and who’s in charge—so buyers can make informed choices, much like checking a permit and inspection report before buying a house to reduce surprise problems.
senior secured fixed rate notesfinancial
Debt securities that act like a loan a company takes from investors, backed by specific collateral and given top priority for repayment if the company defaults. They pay a fixed interest rate for a set term, so investors receive predictable income but face the usual risks from changes in market interest rates and the issuer's ability to repay. Because they are both secured and senior, they are generally less risky than unsecured or junior debt, which matters when deciding how to balance yield versus safety.

Company to Repay $110 Million of Existing Series 2019-1 Notes
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK) today announced actions expected to reduce outstanding debt and further optimize its capital structure through the ongoing execution of its “JACK on Track” plan.
First, the Company intends to repay $110 million of its existing Series 2019-1 4.476% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-II on June 10, 2026, ahead of the anticipated repayment date of August 2026. The repayment will be funded through a combination of cash on hand and excess funding from company-owned life insurance policy assets. Upon completion, the repayment will bring the Company’s total debt reduction in 2026 to $236.4 million, inclusive of amortization payments, and reduce outstanding securitized debt to approximately $1.5 billion outstanding under the Series 2019-1 Class A-2 Notes and the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes. No borrowings are currently outstanding under the Series 2019-1 Variable Funding Notes, although the facility supports certain outstanding letters of credit.
Following this repayment, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries intend to complete a refinancing transaction expected to be comprised of $500 million of senior secured fixed rate notes and $150 million of variable funding notes (collectively, the “Notes”) with proceeds expected to be used to refinance the Series 2019-1 Class A-2 Notes, a portion of the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Notes, and the Series 2022-1 Variable Funding Notes in full and to pay transaction costs associated with the new securitized financing facility.
“Debt reduction remains a priority, and these actions mark another important step in strengthening Jack in the Box’s financial foundation and accelerating our strategic execution,” said Mark King, Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Jack in the Box Inc. “As we continue to advance our ‘JACK on Track’ initiatives, we are focused on optimizing our capital structure to enhance financial flexibility and deliver sustainable growth.”
The consummation of the offering is subject to market and other conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete the refinancing transaction on the terms described or at all.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other security. The Notes to be offered have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.
