On November 10, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved that the form and rate of compensation paid to non-employee directors would remain the same in fiscal year 2006 as the form and rate of compensation paid to non-employee directors during fiscal year 2005, as set forth in the Jack in the Box Inc. Proxy Statement dated January 13, 2005. Each year non-employee directors receive options to purchase shares of Jack in the Box Inc. stock. In past years, the number of shares granted has been determined pursuant to the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "95 Plan"). Although the 95 Plan expired in 2005, the Compensation Committee elected to use a formula similar to that set forth in the 95 Plan based on the relationship of director compensation to the fair market value of Jack in the Box Inc. stock, for determining the number of shares to be granted. Effective November 14, 2005, the Compensation Committee approved the annual grant of stock options to non-employee directors in the amount of 8,300 shares. All such options will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Jack in the Box Inc. stock on the date of grant and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Jack in the Box Inc. Non-Employee Director Stock Option Award Agreement under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as previously filed on Form 8-K November 14, 2005. Executive Compensation. Effective November 14, 2005, the Compensation Committee approved new annual base salaries for Executive Vice President Lawrence E. Schauf of $354,000, for Senior Vice President David M. Theno of $332,000 and for Gary Beisler, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Qdoba Restaurant Corporation, of $300,000.
