F1: As a result of the special extraordinary cash dividends paid in 2006, on December 14, 2006, the Compensation Committee and the Performance Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Triarc determined to reduce the exercise price of each stock option that was granted prior to August 21, 2003 by $0.45 for each option outstanding at the opening of the market on each of February 15, 2006, June 29, 2006 and December 1, 2006, aggregating $1.35 per share. Accordingly, the reported exercise price of this stock option was reduced by $1.35 per share.

F2: This employee stock option was previously reported as an option for 30,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $25.75 per share, but was adjusted to reflect the stock dividend referred to in note (3) below. As a result of the stock dividend, the option also entitled the reporting person to receive, upon exercise, two shares of Class B Common Stock, Series 1, for each share of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the option for no additional consideration.

F3: On August 11, 2003, Triarc declared a stock dividend, payable to all holders of record of Class A Common Stock on August 21, 2003, of two shares of Class B Common Stock, Series 1, for each share of Class A Common Stock outstanding. As a result of the stock dividend, each outstanding option granted under Triarc's 1993 and 1998 Equity Participation Plans was adjusted so that each such option outstanding as of August 21, 2003 became exercisable for both one share of Class A Common and two shares of Class B Common Stock, Series 1.

F4: This employee stock option was previously reported as an option for 7,500 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $24.60 per share, but was adjusted to reflect the stock dividend referred to in note (3) above.

F5: This employee stock option was previously reported as an option for 15,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $26.93 per share, but was adjusted to reflect the stock dividend referred to in note (3) above. As a result of the stock dividend, the option also entitled the reporting person to receive, upon exercise, two shares of Class B Common Stock, Series 1, for each share of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the option for no additional consideration.

F6: 34,098 shares of Class A Common Stock and 145,591 shares of Class B Common Stock Series 1, were withheld from the shares issued upon exercise of the stock options reported herein at a price per share equal to the closing price of such Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, Series 1, respectively, on December 15, 2006, to satisfy the exercise prices and tax withholding obligations in connection with such stock option exercises.
