On June 14, 2013, Jack in the Box Inc. (the “Company”), with authorization from its Board of Directors, approved a plan to close 67 of its company-operated Qdoba Mexican Grill® brand restaurants by the end of its fiscal 2013. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013, Qdoba’s system included 647 restaurants, of which 340 were company-operated. The decision to close the restaurants followed a comprehensive unit-level analysis of sales, cash flows and other key performance metrics, as well as site locations, brand awareness and lease status.

The Company currently estimates it will incur pre-tax charges during fiscal 2013 of approximately $40 million, including an estimated $28 million in non-cash impairment charges and approximately $12 million in charges related to cash lease obligations and employee severance costs. The actual amount of any cash payments made by the Company for lease contract termination costs will be dependent upon negotiations with the landlords of the leased restaurant properties.  The Company will update the estimated pre-tax charges, if necessary, related to the restaurant closures when it reports its third-quarter operating results in August.

In connection with the restaurant closures described above, the Company concluded that a material impairment charge will be required for the impairment of the assets involved in the restaurant closures.  The information required to be disclosed under this Item 2.06 is included in Item 2.05 above and incorporated herein by reference.

The Company issued a news release dated June 17, 2013, with further information about these actions, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into Items 2.05 and 2.06 by reference.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
