RE:		Merger Integration Update

We continue to make good progress on the many activities that will support the success of the planned merger between Wendy’s and Triarc/Arby’s (Arby’s). In this update, I will share highlights of the work under way and an overview of recent accomplishments.

Future of the Wendy’s/Arby’s Group, Inc.
First, let me say that I know many people are anticipating decisions regarding the future of the Wendy’s/Arby’s Group, Inc. We are working together to build a shared understanding of the current state of the respective Wendy’s and Arby’s organizations. We’re also working to clarify a compelling vision for the future and make the organization structure and staffing decisions for the future company.

Part of this work is a “Current State Analysis” that Arby’s is developing with help from consultants at KPMG. This work is finishing up now and it documents the current roles, responsibilities and major processes in both organizations. KPMG conducted 93 “Discovery Meetings” with members of Wendy’s and Arby’s management teams and reviewed hundreds of documents.

Thanks to everyone involved for your extraordinary effort to fulfill the requests for information in a very short timeframe. The fact that we have been able to complete the interviews and data collection in a few short weeks is a testament to the tremendous expertise and focus in both organizations.

The “Current State Analysis” will form the foundation for the new organizational structure for the Wendy’s/Arby’s Group. It is expected that this analytical work will take approximately six weeks to complete. Once the organization design is approved by Triarc, we will share it with management and employees.

Decisions with regard to the location of jobs, the timing of any movement of jobs, and the process for placing internal candidates into jobs that may be new or open will be shared with you as well. We know that everyone is anxious to know this information as quickly as possible. KPMG and the Integration Steering Committee are working diligently with that in mind, while still ensuring the due diligence and care required to align resources with the opportunities ahead for the Wendy’s/Arby’s Group and the two brands.

Two independent brands — Wendy’s in Dublin and Arby’s in Atlanta
Triarc’s overall approach to the organization concept has not changed. There will continue to be two independent and robust brand organizations — one for Wendy’s in Dublin, and one for Arby’s in Atlanta — each focused on building on the heritage and strengths of their unique brands. As Roland Smith has said, a corporate office in Atlanta will be created with shared services that will support both brand organizations.

Preparing for “Day 1” after the merger is closed
We will share more details and timing information about the joint Wendy’s/Arby’s proxy statement, filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission and shareholders’ meeting when they are available. The joint proxy statement and amendments are available on www.wendys-invest.com under the SEC filings tab.

Great care is being taken to ensure that the company is ready for “Day 1” after the closing of the merger, which we believe will occur in the second half of the year. A “Day 1” readiness plan has been developed and is being tracked. Hundreds of tasks on the plan are expected to be completed by members of both Wendy’s and Arby’s Finance, Tax, Accounting, Human Resources, IT and Corporate Affairs departments — critical functions that will need to operate within new corporate regulatory and security frameworks beginning with Wendy’s/Arby’s Group’s first day of operations.

Integration Steering Committee providing oversight on merger process
Overseeing all of these activities is the Integration Steering Committee, comprised of members from both Wendy’s and Arby’s. The current committee members are listed at the end of this message. The role of the Integration Steering Committee is to provide input, direction and approvals on key integration activities. The frequency of meetings is ramping up as our integration work is gaining momentum.

Based on feedback from employees, the frequency of communication is also going to ramp up. While we may not always have a lot to report since many activities are in progress, I am committed to regular updates on the process and ensuring you have a central reference point for information on the merger on an ongoing basis. Expect more from us on that front in the coming weeks.

Roland Smith continues to meet with Wendy’s leaders and franchisees
On the topic of communication, Roland continues to reach out to both Wendy’s franchisees and employees to learn more about our brand. Since the Lobby Event in May where Roland was introduced to the Wendy’s organization, he has had several meetings with the senior leadership team, met directly with most of my direct reports and connected with field operation leaders.

He has also met with the leadership and members of WNAP, WCAP and FAC, conducted in-person meetings with over 30 franchisees and spoken with franchisees who represent over 1,500 franchised restaurants.

During the week of July 7, Roland spent six days in both company and franchised Wendy’s stores learning operations, meeting restaurant employees and building a deeper “front line” perspective of the rich opportunities for the Wendy’s brand. We’ll look for opportunities to share his learning with you in future communications.
