Most Papa Johns Company-owned restaurants are located in leased space. The initial term of most Domestic restaurant leases is five years with most leases providing for one or more options to renew for at least one additional term. Generally, the leases are triple net leases, which require us to pay all or a portion of the cost of insurance, taxes and utilities. As a

result of assigning our interest in obligations under property leases as a condition of the refranchising of certain restaurants, we are also contingently liable for payment of approximately 80 Domestic leases.
Our restaurant support center in Atlanta, Georgia, is located in a leased space. 11 of our 12 North America QC Centers are located in leased spaces, with the remaining QC Center located in a building we own. Our restaurant support center located in Louisville, Kentucky is in a building owned by us. We also maintain a Company-owned office and a full-service QC Center outside of London, England, where our International operations are managed.
At December 28, 2025, we leased and subleased approximately 330 Papa John’s restaurant sites to franchisees in the UK. The initial lease terms on the franchised sites in the UK are generally 15 years, many of which have an early break-lease provision. The Company has the option to negotiate an extension toward the end of the lease term at the landlord’s discretion. The initial lease terms of the franchisee subleases are generally five to ten years. See “Note 3. Leases” of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information.
