Re: Inspire Brands to Acquire Dunkin’ Brands

To: Dunkin’ Brands Employees

From: Dave Hoffmann, CEO, Dunkin’ Brands

Team,

Today we announced that Dunkin’ Brands has signed an agreement to be acquired by Inspire Brands. If consummated, the transaction would create one of the world’s leading quick-serve restaurant groups with a combined $26 billion in systemwide sales, 31,600 restaurants around the world, 600,000 company and franchise team members, more than 3,200 franchisees, and more than 25 million loyalty members. Click here to read the press release that was issued this evening to learn more about the agreement and about Inspire.

This announcement is a testament to the work we’ve done together to transform Dunkin’ and Baskin-Robbins into modern, relevant brands for millions of people every day around the world. Our journey over the past few years has had many twists and turns, but through it all, I couldn’t be prouder of how you embraced our strategic visions – the Blueprint for Growth, Raising the Bar, and 3-in-1 – and kept them as your North Star to deliver outsized performance. I am particularly proud of our actions since March of this year. Throughout COVID-19, we have stood tall. We had each other’s backs, and we are now stronger than ever before.

When we complete the transaction, our journey will continue as part of Inspire Brands. Inspire is a long-term investor, and it intends to continue to build on our efforts to supercharge growth for our franchisees and support our guests and communities, while keeping the elements that make our brands so special and beloved by millions worldwide. After the close of the transaction, which is expected to be completed by the end of this year, Dunkin’ Brands Group, Inc. will become a privately held subsidiary of Inspire.

Looking ahead, several steps need to happen before the transaction closes. I know these types of announcements can be distracting, but as it relates to our day-to-day work, today’s news changes nothing. We are still 100% focused on our strategic priorities, and we are still executing with our same commitment to excellence. We remain a public company pending the closing of the transaction, so you should not discuss – neither in-person nor on any public forum such as social media – the stock, stock price, or what might happen.

I know there is a lot to process with this announcement, so I’d like to connect with all of you on Saturday morning, October 31 during an All Employee Town Hall at 9 a.m. ET to discuss this in more detail and take some of your questions. Stay tuned for a calendar invite.

As we navigate our path forward, let’s stay focused, have each other’s backs, and finish the year strong.

SSK,

Dave
