Facilities Relocation and Other Transition Costs

As announced in December 2011, we commenced the relocation of the Company’s Atlanta restaurant support center to Ohio. The Company expects to record costs aggregating approximately $4,800 in 2013 related to its relocation and other transition activities which were substantially completed during 2012. The costs expected to be expensed in 2013 primarily relate to relocation, severance and consulting and professional fees.

_____________________

(a)
2011 transaction related costs included $20,806 of costs incurred by the Company in accordance with the termination provisions of the employment agreements for three senior executives (principally for required payments of $14,481 and vesting of previously issued stock awards of $6,325).
(b)
Relocation costs are expensed as incurred. However, payments of $750 made due to the relocation of a corporate executive will be expensed over the three year period following this executive’s relocation in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The agreement also included a restricted share award with a grant date fair value of $750 which is being expensed over a three year requisite service period. These expenses are the only remaining Arby’s transaction related costs expected to be incurred.
The tables below present a rollforward of our accrual for Arby’s transaction related costs, which is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities.”
