PAPA JOHNS INTERNATIONAL INC

Certain matters discussed in this Proxy Statement and other Company communications that are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Generally, the use of words such as “continue,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “will,” “forecast,” “outlook”, “plan,” “project,” or similar words identify forward-looking statements that we intend to be included within the safe harbor protections provided by the federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements include or may relate to, without limitation, projections or guidance concerning business performance, our corporate responsibility-related practices and our ability to achieve related goals, our approach to certain human capital matters, including with respect to our enterprise-wide health, safety, security, and environmental management system and our culture, compensation-related targets and goals, and certain business and operational activities, including those related to our supply chain. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those matters expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.

Our forward-looking statements are based on our assumptions that are based on currently available information. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those matters expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are discussed in detail in “Part I. Item 1A. – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise, except as required by law.

Information contained on or available through our website is not incorporated by reference in or made part of this Proxy Statement, and any references to our website are intended to be inactive textual references only.
