ITEM 1.01 AMENDMENT OF PERFORMANCE BONUS PLAN
-----------------------------------
On February 17, 2006 the shareholders of Jack in the Box Inc. (the
"Company") approved the Amended and Restated Performance Bonus Plan. The
company's shareholders previously approved the Performance Bonus Plan in 2001.
As set forth in the Jack in the Box Inc. Proxy Statement dated January 13, 2006,
the Amended and Restated Performance Bonus Plan is intended to qualify as a
performance-based compensation plan for purposes of Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and to permit the Company to receive a
federal income tax deduction for payment of performance-based compensation to
eligible employees. Section 162(m) of the Code requires that such plans be
approved by shareholders of public companies every five years. In addition, the
amendment to the Performance Bonus Plan revised the business criteria used as
performance goals, limited awards to cash awards and provided for the pro-ration
of awards based on the eligible employee's time in position.
A copy of the Amended and Restated Performance Bonus Plan is attached
as Exhibit 10.7 to this report.
