Jack in the Box extends GreenWood standstill through 2028, appoints ex-Starbucks CFO to board
Jack in the Box has extended its cooperation agreement with activist investor GreenWood Investors through the 2028 annual meeting nomination window and appointed Rachel Ruggeri, former Chief Financial Officer of Starbucks, as an independent director effective September 17, 2026. The extension reinforces GreenWood's influence over board composition and capital allocation while the company continues its announced transition to install President Taylor Montgomery as Chief Executive Officer within 12 months. The appointment of a finance executive with 30 years of QSR and consumer goods experience signals board-level focus on financial performance improvement and operational execution amid the company's ongoing turnaround.

Del Taco offers a unique variety of both Mexican and American favorites such as burritos and fries, prepared fresh in every restaurant's kitchen with the value and convenience of a drive-thru. Del Taco's menu items taste better because they are made with quality ingredients like freshly grilled chicken and carne asada steak, fresh house-made guacamole, freshly grated cheddar cheese, slow-cooked beans made from scratch, and creamy Queso Blanco. In April 2025, the Company announced a multi-faceted 'Jack on Track' plan, which included exploring strategic alternatives for the Del Taco brand; on October 15, 2025, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to sell Del Taco Holdings Inc. to Yadav Enterprises, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $115 million in cash.
