Other Events. As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Triarc Companies, Inc. ("Triarc" and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") on September 20, 2000, Triarc announced that on September 15, 2000 it had signed a definitive agreement to sell its subsidiaries Snapple Beverage Group, Inc. ("Snapple Beverage Group"), the parent company of Snapple Beverage Corp., Mistic Brands, Inc. and Stewart's Beverages, Inc., and Royal Crown Company, Inc. ("Royal Crown") to a subsidiary of Cadbury Schweppes plc (the "Purchaser") for approximately $910 million in cash plus the assumption of approximately $420 million of debt (the "Snapple Beverage Sale"), subject to post-closing adjustment. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2000, subject to antitrust filings and customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance, however, that the transaction will be consummated. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company will continue to own its restaurant franchising business. Copies of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Tax Agreement and press release relating to the sale of Snapple Beverage Group and Royal Crown were previously filed by the Company as exhibits to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 20, 2000. This Form 8-K is being filed to report certain pro forma information as set forth below in connection with the incorporation by reference of such information in a registration statement on Form S-3 to be filed by the Company with respect to the Company's Class A common stock to be issued to the holders (the "Holders") of the Company's zero coupon convertible subordinated debentures due 2018 (the "Debentures") upon any conversion by the Holders of their Debentures following the sale of Snapple Beverage Group and Royal Crown to the Purchaser. The Purchaser has agreed to assume Triarc's obligations under the Debentures; nevertheless, following this assumption, the Debentures will remain convertible into Triarc Class A common stock. The following unaudited pro forma (i) condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of July 2, 2000 and (ii) condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the years ended December 28, 1997, January 3, 1999 and January 2, 2000 and the six months ended July 2, 2000 have been prepared by adjusting such financial statements, as derived from (i) the audited consolidated financial statements in Triarc's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000 (the "Triarc Form 10-K") and (ii) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Triarc's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2000 (the "Triarc Form 10-Q"). Such adjustments to the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 2, 2000 are to reflect Snapple Beverage Group (the Company's premium beverage business) and Royal Crown (the Company's soft drink concentrate business) as discontinued operations as of July 2, 2000. Such adjustments to the condensed consolidated statements of operations are to reflect the operations of the premium beverage business and the soft drink concentrate business as discontinued operations as of January 1, 1997. For the year ended December 28, 1997 the adjustments to the condensed consolidated statements of operations to reflect the premium beverage business as a discontinued operation include the results of Snapple Beverage Corp., acquired by the Company on May 22, 1997, and Stewart's Beverages, Inc., acquired by the Company on November 25, 1997, from their respective dates of acquisition. Such pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes to the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations which should be read in conjunction with such statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements also should be read in conjunction with (i) the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Triarc Form 10-K and (ii) the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Triarc Form 10-Q. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the actual financial position or results of operations of the Company had the sale of Snapple Beverage Group and Royal Crown actually been consummated on July 2, 2000 and January 1, 1997, respectively, or of the future financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Such debt is included in "Net non-current liabilities of discontinued operations" since it is being assumed by the Purchaser. (e) To reclassify the deferred financing costs accounted for by Triarc Consumer Products Group, LLC ("TCPG"), the parent company of Snapple Beverage Group, related to $300,000,000 principal amount of 10 1/4% senior subordinated notes due 2009 (the "Notes") which are being assumed by the Purchaser as "Net non-current liabilities of discontinued operations." The Notes and related accrued interest were reclassified in (a) above since Snapple Beverage Group was a co-obligor of the Notes and, accordingly, these obligations were included in the liabilities of the premium beverage business.
