Those who are uncomfortable contacting Senior Management directly or who want to remain anonymous may use EthicsPoint via the toll free number (1-866-292-2074) or the website (www.ethicspoint.com).

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A REPORT IS FILED?

Once a report is filed with EthicsPoint, either via the toll free number or on the website, an EthicsPoint communication specialist will forward the report to the Audit Committee if it pertains to questionable accounting and auditing matters. Once the report is received, a thorough investigation will be conducted.
All reports that are sent to the Audit Committee may be done so anonymously, if you desire.

WHY SHOULD I REPORT?

It’s your obligation. JBSS management along with the Board of Directors is committed to conducting business in accordance with the highest ethical and legal standards. Reporting systems like EthicsPoint have proven to be an effective tool in reducing losses from financial, accounting and auditing misconduct and fraud, and therefore can help to protect JBSS’ financial strength, its reputation in the investment community and its shareholders.

WHAT SHOULD I REPORT TO ETHICSPOINT?

Call the EthicsPoint’s toll free Hotline or visit Ethicspoint.com to report actual or suspected violations related to:

• JBSS’ Code of Ethics Applicable to the Principal Executive, Financial and Accounting Officers
• False or misleading financial or accounting practices, record-keeping or documentation.
• False or misleading reporting of accounting or financial matters
• Violations of Securities laws or Nasdaq Rules
• Fraud
• Any other questionable accounting or auditing matter.

Contact EthicsPoint even if you are not sure or do not have all the information, JBSS will review and investigate the information and take appropriate action.

CAN I REMAIN ANONYMOUS?

Yes, EthicsPoint is a third party communication specialist that is not part of JBSS. You never have to give any identifying information, unless you wish to. Once a report is filed, the filer will receive a unique user name and will be asked to choose a password so that the filer can return back to EthicsPoint to follow up on the report. JBSS after reviewing the report may have questions and could pose them on the EthicsPoint system. JBSS may also update you with the status of their investigation. It is strongly suggested that a filer return to the site 48 hours after filing the report.
