JOHN B. SANFILIPPO & SON, INC. DECLARES $1.25 PER SHARE SPECIAL

DIVIDEND AND A REGULAR ANNUAL DIVIDEND OF $0.85 PER SHARE

Elgin, IL, July 17, 2024 — John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (NASDAQ: JBSS) (the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a special cash dividend (the “Special Dividend”) of $1.25 per share on all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company and $1.25 per share on all issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company. In addition to the Special Dividend, the Board declared a regular annual cash dividend (the “Annual Dividend”) of $0.85 per share on all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company and $0.85 per share on all issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company.

“We are pleased to announce the $1.25 per share Special Dividend and the $0.85 per share Annual Dividend,” stated Jeffrey T.

This year marks the seventh year in a row we have increased our Annual Dividend. These dividends, like our previous dividends, further reinforce our goal of creating long-term stockholder value through the responsible use of cash. Furthermore, these dividends would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of all our employees,” Mr. Sanfilippo concluded.
