SANFILIPPO JOHN B & SON INC Stock Compensation Disclosure
NOTE 12 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
At our 2023 meeting of stockholders, our stockholders approved a new equity incentive plan (the “2023 Omnibus Plan”) under which awards of options and other stock-based awards may be made to employees, officers or non-employee directors of our Company. A total of 747,065 shares of Common Stock are authorized for grants of awards thereunder, which may be in the form of options, restricted stock, RSUs, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance shares, PSUs, Common Stock or dividends and dividend equivalents. As of June 26, 2025, there were 627,364 shares of Common Stock that remained authorized for future grants of awards, subject to the limitations set below. Under the terms of the 2023 Omnibus Plan, the total number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options or SARs may be granted in any calendar year to any participant may not exceed 500,000 shares (this limit applies separately with respect to each type of award). Additionally, for awards of restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares, PSUs or other stock-based awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation: (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be granted in any calendar year to any participant may not exceed 250,000 shares (this limit applies separately to each type of award) and (ii) the maximum amount that may be paid to any participant for awards that are payable in cash or property other than Common Stock in any calendar year is $5,000. During fiscal 2017, the Board of Directors adopted an equity grant cap which further restricted the number of awards that could be made to any one participant or in the aggregate. The equity grant
cap limited the number of awards to 250,000 awards to all participants and 20,000 awards to any one participant in a fiscal year. Except as set forth in the 2023 Omnibus Plan, RSUs have vesting periods of three years for awards to employees and one year for awards to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. PSUs have a vesting period of approximately 33 months and performance goals that must be achieved in order to be earned and vest. We issue new shares of Common Stock upon the vesting of RSUs and PSUs.
The fair value of RSUs and PSUs are generally determined based on the market price of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The fair value of RSUs and PSUs granted for the years ended June 26, 2025, June 27, 2024 and June 29, 2023 was $5,513, $4,805 and $4,769, respectively.

About Stock Compensation Disclosures
Stock-based compensation disclosures detail the equity awards granted to employees and executives — including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance shares — along with the valuation methods and assumptions used to expense them. This section reveals the true cost of talent retention and the alignment between management incentives and shareholder interests.
Key signals: total unrecognized compensation expense and its expected recognition period signal future earnings headwinds from already-granted awards. For stock options, examine Black-Scholes assumptions — expected volatility, risk-free rate, and expected term — as understating any of these reduces reported compensation expense. Compare stock compensation expense as a percentage of revenue against peers to assess dilution cost. Watch vesting schedules for acceleration clauses tied to change-of-control events. Performance-based awards with undemanding targets may indicate weak governance. Add back stock compensation to operating cash flow to calculate a more conservative free cash flow figure.
