The Trian principals and Trian Funds currently intend to increase their investment in Wendy's/Arby's through the acquisition of additional common stock of Wendy's/Arby's.

The Trian principals and Trian Funds intend to review their investment in Wendy's/Arby's on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, Wendy's/Arby's financial position, results and strategic direction, price levels of the common stock of Wendy's/Arby's, conditions in the securities and credit markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Trian principals and Trian Funds may take such actions with respect to their investment in Wendy's/Arby's as they deem appropriate. Further, the Trian Funds and Trian principals may, from time to time, propose business strategies to Wendy's/Arby's. The Trian principals and Trian Funds reserve the right to change their current plans and intentions, which may include a decision not to acquire additional common stock of Wendy's/Arby's or to sell or distribute some or all of their Wendy's/Arby's common stock in the open market, in private transactions, or otherwise."
