Explanation of Responses:

1. 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").

2. On September 29, 2009, the closing price of the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Wendy's common stock was $5.90, $6.75 and $19.21, respectively.

3. In connection with the Class B Conversion, 2,686,159 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Trian Partners (defined below) were converted into a like number of shares of Class A Common Stock.

4. Trian Fund Management GP, LLC ("Trian Management GP") is the general partner of Trian Fund Management, L.P ("Trian Management"), which serves as (i) the management company for Trian Partners, L.P. ("Trian Onshore"), Trian Partners Master Fund, L.P. ("Trian Offshore"), Trian Partners Parallel Fund I, L.P. ("Parallel Fund I") and Trian Partners Parallel Fund II, L.P. ("Parallel Fund II" and collectively, the "Trian Entities") and (ii) the investment manager for a separate account owned by TCMG-MA, LLC (the "Separate Account"). Trian Management has full discretion and authority to make all investment and voting decisions in respect of the Separate Account.

5. (FN 4, contd.) Trian Partners General Partner, LLC ("Trian GP LLC") is the general partner of Trian Partners GP, L.P. ("Trian GP"), which is the general partner of Trian Onshore and Trian Offshore. Trian Partners Parallel Fund I General Partner, LLC ("Parallel Fund I GP LLC") is the general partner of Parallel Fund I. Trian Partners Parallel Fund II General Partner, LLC ("Parallel Fund II GP LLC") is the general partner of Trian Partners Parallel Fund II GP, L.P. ("Parallel Fund II GP"), which is the general partner of Parallel Fund II. Mr. Peltz is a member of each of Trian Management GP, Trian GP LLC, Parallel Fund I GP LLC and Parallel Fund II GP LLC (the "Management Entities") and therefore is in a position to determine the investment and voting decisions made by Trian GP, the Trian Entities and the Separate Account.

6. (FN 5, contd.) Accordingly, Mr. Peltz may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) the shares beneficially owned by the Management Entities, the Trian Entities, Trian GP and the Separate Account (collectively, "Trian Partners"). Mr. Peltz disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein and this report shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Peltz is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.

7. In connection with the Merger, Trian Partners received an aggregate of 23,110,593 shares of Class A Common Stock in consideration for the 5,437,787 shares of Wendy's common stock held by Trian Partners.

8. In connection with the Class B Conversion, 8,918,689 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the reporting person were converted into a like number of shares of Class A Common Stock.

9. In connection with the Class B Conversion, 47,100 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Peltz Family Limited Partnership (see note 11 below) were converted into a like number of shares of Class A Common Stock.

10. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.

11. All such shares are owned by the Peltz Family Limited Partnership, an entity in which Mr. Peltz's spouse is the sole General Partner. Mr. Peltz was formerly a general partner of the partnership but has transferred his interest in the partnership to his spouse.

12. In connection with the Class B Conversion, 400 shares of Class B Common Stock held by minor children of Mr. Peltz were converted into a like number of shares of Class A Common Stock.
