** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) 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 previously reported exercise price of this stock option was reduced by $1.35 per share.
(2) On August 11, 2003, Triarc Companies, Inc. (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 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.
(3) This stock option was previously reported as an option for 3,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $27.00 per share, but was adjusted to reflect the stock dividend referred to in note (2) above. As a result of the stock dividend, the option also entitled the reporting person to receive, upon exercise, 6,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, Series 1 for no additional consideration.
(4) This stock option was previously reported as an option for 2,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $19.75 per share, but was adjusted to reflect the stock dividend referred to in note (2) above. As a result of the stock dividend, the option also entitled the reporting person to receive, upon exercise, 4,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, Series 1 for no additional consideration.
(5) This stock option was previously reported as an option for 4,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $26.00 per share, but was adjusted to reflect the stock dividend referred to in note (2) above. As a result of the stock dividend, the option also entitled the reporting person to receive, upon exercise, 8,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, Series 1 for no additional consideration.
(6) This stock option was previously reported as an option for 4,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $27.17 per share, but was adjusted to reflect the stock dividend referred to in note (2) above. As a result of the stock dividend, the option also entitled the reporting person to receive, upon exercise, 8,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, Series 1 for no additional consideration.
(7) This stock option was previously reported as an option for 4,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $27.80 per share, but was adjusted to reflect the stock dividend referred to in note (2) above. As a result of the stock dividend, the option also entitled the reporting person to receive, upon exercise, 8,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, Series 1 for no additional consideration.
(8) With tandem tax withholding rights.
(9) The option vested in two equal installments on May 6, 1999 and 2000.
(10) The option vested in two equal installments on June 22, 2000 and 2001.
(11) The option vested in two equal installments on June 21, 2002 and 2003.
(12) The option vested in two equal installments on June 4, 2003 and 2004.
(13) The option vested in two equal installments on June 3, 2004 and 2005.
