      the Box Inc. Exploring Strategic and Financing Alternatives to Maximize
      Shareholder Value</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 17, 2018--Jack in the Box Inc.
      (NASDAQ:JACK) today announced that its Board of Directors and management
      team, with the support of legal and financial advisors, is exploring a
      range of strategic and financing alternatives to maximize shareholder
      value. Potential alternatives could include, among other things, a sale
      of the Company or executing on the Company&#8217;s previously announced plans
      to increase its leverage.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company&#8217;s Board has not set a timetable for the conclusion of this
      process nor has it made any decision related to any strategic or
      financing alternative at this time. The Company has had discussions with
      potential buyers; however, it noted that there can be no assurance that
      the exploration of strategic and financing alternatives will result in a
      transaction. That said, in the absence of a strategic transaction the
      Company remains committed to its previously communicated plan to have a
      new capital structure in place by the end of the first half of fiscal
      2019. That capital structure could include, among other things, a
      securitization or bond issuance.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company does not intend to comment further regarding the review
      unless or until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or
      required by law.
    </p>

      <b>Safe Harbor Statement</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      This press release contains forward-looking statements within the
      meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements may
      be identified by words such as &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221;
      &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;forecast,&#8221; &#8220;goals,&#8221; &#8220;guidance,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221;
      &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;would&#8221; and similar expressions. These statements are
      based on management&#8217;s current expectations, estimates, forecasts and
      projections about the company&#8217;s business and the industry in which the
      company operates. These estimates and assumptions involve known and
      unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that are in some cases
      beyond management&#8217;s control. Factors that may cause actual results to
      differ materially from any forward-looking statements include, but are
      not limited to: the success of new products, marketing initiatives and
      restaurant remodels and drive-thru enhancements; the impact of
      competition, unemployment, trends in consumer spending patterns and
      commodity costs; the company's ability to reduce G&amp;A and operate
      efficiently; the company&#8217;s ability to achieve and manage its planned
      growth, which is affected by the availability of a sufficient number of
      suitable new restaurant sites, the performance of new restaurants, risks
      relating to expansion into new markets and successful franchisee
      development; litigation risks; the company's ability to enhance
      shareholder value; supply chain disruption; food-safety incidents or
      negative publicity impacting the reputation of the company's brand; the
      company&#8217;s ability to obtain additional financing and increase its debt
      leverage; and stock market volatility. These and other factors are
      discussed in the company&#8217;s annual report on Form 10-K and its periodic
      reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
      which are available online at <u>http://investors.jackinthebox.com</u>
