Routine tax-related sell-to-cover by Jack in the Box CEO; neutral impact.

Lance F. Tucker, Director and CEO of Jack in the Box, reported selling 1,678 and 1,472 shares of common stock on January 28, 2026 at $21.83 per share, totaling 3,150 shares.

The footnote clarifies these were automatic dispositions to cover tax withholding on vesting restricted stock units, pursuant to the company’s sell-to-cover policy in the grant agreement. This indicates a tax-compliance transaction rather than a discretionary open-market sale.
