      the Box Inc. Announces Leadership Changes for Jack in the Box&#174; Brand</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 26, 2018--Jack in the Box Inc.
      (NASDAQ: JACK) today announced two leadership changes at the Jack in the
      Box&#174; brand: Frances Allen has informed the company of her decision to
      resign as Brand President, effective February 9, 2018, and Marcus Tom
      will join the company on February 12, 2018, as Vice President and Chief
      Operating Officer. Tom will oversee Operations for company and franchise
      restaurants as well as Strategic Initiatives &amp; Operations Services.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;As I mentioned at the recent ICR Conference, I will take the
      opportunity to flatten our organizational structure following the
      expected sale of our QDOBA&#174; brand,&#8221; said Chairman and Chief Executive
      Officer Lenny Comma. &#8220;Frances graciously suggested the elimination of
      her position so that we could more quickly begin restructuring the
      brand&#8217;s leadership. Frances was instrumental in refining the brand&#8217;s
      strategy and positioning, with an emphasis on improving the quality of
      the food and transforming the business model to be more asset light
      through refranchising. We&#8217;re grateful for her exemplary leadership and
      believe the Jack in the Box brand is stronger as a result of her many
      contributions. We wish her all the best.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Allen said, &#8220;I&#8217;m very proud to have led this brand over the last
      three-plus years and of the accomplishments we have made during my
      tenure, but I could not in good conscience remain in position within a
      single-brand structure. The appointment of a new COO is the right time
      for me to exit, and I am excited to embark on the next phase of my
      career.&#8221;

      Tom will join Jack in the Box with more than 15 years of experience in
      operations leadership positions, most recently at JAB Beech Inc., where
      he was Senior Vice President, Operations of its Caribou Coffee brand
      from January 2017 to December 2017 and Senior Vice President, Operations
      for its Einstein Bros. Bagels brand from July 2015 to December 2016.
      From March 2006 to June 2015, Tom held several positions of increasing
      responsibility with Starbucks Coffee Company. He was Director of
      Business Operations from January 2014 to June 2015 for all licensed
      stores in the U.S. and Canada. From May 2012 to December 2013, he was
      Starbucks&#8217; Regional Director, Licensed Stores in California and West
      Arizona, and from March 2006 to May 2012, he was a Regional Director
      with responsibility for Starbucks&#8217; company-operated stores in San Diego
      and the greater Phoenix area. He also served as a Regional Vice
      President overseeing 600 stores during a six-month limited-time
      assignment in 2009. Prior to joining Starbucks, Tom held several
      positions with YUM Brands International from 1991 to 2006, including
      being a senior leader for YUM's franchised business in Central America
      and the Caribbean. Tom is a graduate of the Wharton School at the
      University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor&#8217;s degree in Economics.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Marcus is an agile leader with a proven record of achieving high levels
      of operational excellence across large retail systems, like Starbucks,&#8221;
      Comma said. &#8220;Adding a seasoned restaurant-industry veteran like him,
      with his unique skillset and proficiencies in operations, is a key piece
      of our re-focused Jack in the Box leadership team.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Said Tom, &#8220;I'm very excited to be joining the Jack in the Box leadership
      team. The company has an incredible culture with people who care deeply
      about each other, their customers, and the communities where they work
      and live.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;I've had the opportunity to meet with several franchisees and found
      them to be passionate about the brand and committed to its success. As
      Chief Operating Officer, I look forward to working with the broader team
      and our franchisees to build the brand, provide great customer
      experiences, and contribute to Jack in the Box&#8217;s overall success.&#8221;
