Biglari Capital Corp. and affiliated entities, holding 9.97% of Jack in the Box Inc., filed a preliminary proxy statement seeking shareholder votes against the re-election of three board members at the 2026 annual meeting scheduled for February 27, 2026. The dissident argues the incumbent board lacks the right experience and skillset to address strategic missteps and reverse years of stockholder value destruction. Biglari is also recommending votes against executive compensation, share plan amendments, and a shareholder protection rights agreement.
