F1: On September 29, 2008, the Issuer (formerly known as Triarc Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation) completed the acquisition of 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. In addition, as approved by the stockholders of Triarc, following the Merger each outstanding share of Triarc's Class B Common Stock, Series 1 ("Class B Common Stock") was converted into one share of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Class B Conversion").
