Biglari Capital Corp., the largest shareholder of Jack in the Box Inc. with a 9.86% ownership stake, has intensified its campaign against Board Chairman David Goebel ahead of the company's shareholder meeting. In a recent statement, Biglari Capital criticized David Goebel’s 17-year tenure on the Board, citing a significant decline in shareholder value and questioning his leadership and expertise. The activist investor also released email correspondence to dispute claims made by the company and to highlight its efforts to engage constructively with the Board. Biglari Capital has urged fellow shareholders to vote against David Goebel’s continued tenure, attributing Jack in the Box’s recent financial challenges—including store closures and dividend suspension—to his influence. The shareholder meeting is seen as a pivotal moment, with Biglari Capital framing the vote as a referendum on David Goebel’s leadership.
