Dear fellow Wendy’s shareholders,

On April 11, we filed an Exempt Solicitation providing further information and background regarding our shareholder proposal asking Wendy’s to do as its competitors have done and establish measurable sourcing targets for converting to “cage-free” eggs.

Yesterday, Glass Lewis hosted our President for a “Proxy Talk” on this topic, during which he delivered a presentation to an audience that included major Wendy’s shareholders about the high materiality of this issue and addressed Wendy’s claims regarding quality, cost and other factors.

We now file this letter to provide the following link for shareholders to view a recording of that presentation:

Thank you very much.

We’re not asking for and can’t accept your proxy card. Please vote FOR the proposal.
