from time to time (the &#147;<U>DGCL</U>&#148;), provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any of its directors or officers who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any third party proceeding (other than an action by
or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees),&nbsp;judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe that such person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, (i.e., one by or in the right of a corporation) the corporation is permitted to indemnify directors and
officers against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that the defendant directors or officers are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the DGCL, if a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any action, suit or proceeding, such person must be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any indemnification under Section&nbsp;145 shall be made by the corporation only if it has
been determined that the person has met the applicable standard of conduct. Such determination shall be made (1)&nbsp;by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or
(2)&nbsp;by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3)&nbsp;if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion,

or proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by it of an undertaking of such person to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that
such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and

enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him or her under
Section&nbsp;145. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL,
the Registrant shall indemnify any officer or director of the Registrant, and may, pursuant to resolutions adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Registrant, indemnify such other persons whom it shall have power to indemnify,

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article V of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify and hold harmless for any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he or she or a person for whom he or
she is the legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or, while a director or officer of the Registrant, is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise (including service with respect to employee benefit plans), against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him or her. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide that the Registrant has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on

other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Registrant has the power to indemnify him or her against such
liability under the provisions of the Bylaws. Pursuant to this provision, the Registrant has in force insurance policies which purport to insure against any liability incurred by its directors and officers in defense of any action relating to their
positions as directors and officers, within the limits and subject to the terms of the policies. The Registrant has also entered into separate indemnification agreements with certain of its officers and all of its directors providing for a separate
source of indemnification pursuant to the terms of such agreements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&nbsp;7. Exemption from Registration Claims. </B></P>

EXPLANATORY NOTE
On November 2, 2023 (the "
Effective Date
"), at the annual meeting of stockholders of John B. Sanfilippo & Son,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "
Registrant
" or the "
Company
"), the Company's stockholders approved the John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "
2023 Plan
"),
which the Company's board of directors had previously adopted, subject to such stockholder approval.
The 2023 Plan provides, among
other things, that a maximum of 747,275 shares of the Registrant's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "
Common Stock
"), will be reserved for issuance under the 2023 Plan (subject to adjustments as set forth in the 2023
Plan), which includes: (i) 200,000 shares of Common Stock, plus (ii) 547,275 shares of Common Stock that were previously authorized for issuance under the John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "
Prior
Plan
"), and that, as of the Effective Date, were not issued and were not subject to outstanding awards granted under the Prior Plan. In addition, any shares subject to awards granted under the Prior Plan or the 2023 Plan outstanding on or
after the Effective Date that subsequently terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of shares of Common Stock, are settled in cash or are exchanged prior to the issuance of shares of Common Stock for an
award not involving shares of Common Stock, will be added to the share maximum available for issuance under the 2023 Plan. Upon stockholder approval of the 2023 Plan, the 2023 Plan replaced the Prior Plan, and no additional grants of awards will be
made under the Prior Plan. Concurrently with this Registration Statement, the Registrant is filing a post-effective amendment to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of
Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 ("
Section
145
") of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as may be amended
from time to time (the "
DGCL
"), provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any of its directors or officers who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any third party proceeding (other than an action by
or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, (i.e., one by or in the right of a corporation) the corporation is permitted to indemnify directors and
officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that the defendant directors or officers are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.
Pursuant to the DGCL, if a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any action, suit or proceeding, such person must be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Any indemnification under Section 145 shall be made by the corporation only if it has
been determined that the person has met the applicable standard of conduct. Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or
(2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion,
or (4) by the stockholders.
Expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by any such person in defending any such action, suit
or proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by it of an undertaking of such person to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that
such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him or her under
Section 145.
The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL,
the Registrant shall indemnify any officer or director of the Registrant, and may, pursuant to resolutions adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Registrant, indemnify such other persons whom it shall have power to indemnify,
from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other losses of any nature.
The Registrant's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation also provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
Article V of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify and hold harmless for any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he or she or a person for whom he or
she is the legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or, while a director or officer of the Registrant, is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise (including service with respect to employee benefit plans), against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him or her.
The Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide that the Registrant has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Registrant has the power to indemnify him or her against such
liability under the provisions of the Bylaws. Pursuant to this provision, the Registrant has in force insurance policies which purport to insure against any liability incurred by its directors and officers in defense of any action relating to their
positions as directors and officers, within the limits and subject to the terms of the policies. The Registrant has also entered into separate indemnification agreements with certain of its officers and all of its directors providing for a separate
source of indemnification pursuant to the terms of such agreements.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
i.
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
ii.
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement; and
iii.
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form
S-8
and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Elgin, State of Illinois,
on November 13, 2023.
