WEN 0000928265 PELTZ NELSON 280 PARK AVENUE NEW YORK NY 10017 1 0 1 0 Class A Common Stock 2008-09-29 4 J 0 23110592 A 27227751 I By Trian Partners On September 29, 2008, the Issuer (formerly known as Triarc Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation) completed the acquisition of Wendy's International, Inc. ("Wendy's") pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger and, as a result of a merger of Wendy's and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer in which Wendy's was the surviving corporation (the "Merger"), Wendy's is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer. As a result of the Merger, holders of Wendy's common stock received 4.25 shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock ("Class A Common Stock") in exchange for each share of Wendy's common stock held by them. Trian Partners held its shares of Wendy's common stock in a number of brokerage accounts and as such, upon the Merger, certain of its holdings converted into a number of whole shares of the Issuer plus a fractional interest of a share. (FN 1, contd.) Accordingly, in connection with the Merger, Trian Partners received an aggregate of 23,110,592, rather than 23,110,593 shares of Class A Common Stock, as previously reported, in consideration for the 5,437,787 shares of Wendy's common stock held by Trian Partners. On September 29, 2009, the closing price of the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Wendy's common stock was $5.90, $6.75 and $19.21, respectively. Trian Fund Management GP, LLC ("Trian Management GP") is the general partner of Trian Fund Management, L.P ("Trian Management"), which serves as (i) the management company for Trian Partners, L.P. ("Trian Onshore"), Trian Partners Master Fund, L.P. ("Trian Offshore"), Trian Partners Parallel Fund I, L.P. ("Parallel Fund I") and Trian Partners Parallel Fund II, L.P. ("Parallel Fund II" and collectively, the "Trian Entities") and (ii) the investment manager for a separate account owned by TCMG-MA, LLC (the "Separate Account"). Trian Management has full discretion and authority to make all investment and voting decisions in respect of the Separate Account. (FN 4, contd.) Trian Partners General Partner, LLC ("Trian GP LLC") is the general partner of Trian Partners GP, L.P. ("Trian GP"), which is the general partner of Trian Onshore and Trian Offshore. Trian Partners Parallel Fund I General Partner, LLC ("Parallel Fund I GP LLC") is the general partner of Parallel Fund I. Trian Partners Parallel Fund II General Partner, LLC ("Parallel Fund II GP LLC") is the general partner of Trian Partners Parallel Fund II GP, L.P. ("Parallel Fund II GP"), which is the general partner of Parallel Fund II. Mr. Peltz is a member of each of Trian Management GP, Trian GP LLC, Parallel Fund I GP LLC and Parallel Fund II GP LLC (the "Management Entities") and therefore is in a position to determine the investment and voting decisions made by Trian GP, the Trian Entities and the Separate Account. (FN 5, contd.) Accordingly, Mr. Peltz may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) the shares beneficially owned by the Management Entities, the Trian Entities, Trian GP and the Separate Account (collectively, "Trian Partners"). Mr. Peltz disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein and this report shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Peltz is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose. The transactions involving securities of the Issuer reported in this filing are the same securities and transactions reported separately in Form 4s filed by Trian Fund Management, L.P.; Trian Partners General Partner, LLC; Trian Fund Management GP, LLC; Trian Partners Parallel Fund I General Partner, LLC; Trian Partners Parallel Fund II General Partner, LLC; Trian Partners GP, L.P.; Trian Partners, L.P.; Trian Partners Master Fund, L.P.; Trian Partners Parallel Fund I, L.P.; Trian Partners Parallel Fund II, L.P. and Trian Partners Parallel Fund II GP, L.P. (collectively, the "Trian Entities"). The shares of the Issuer referred to in this filing as beneficially owned by Trian Partners are the same shares as those reported to be beneficially owned by the Trian Entities in such Form 4s.
