[1] 2011 transaction related costs included $20,806 of costs incurred by the Company in accordance with the termination provisions of the employment agreements for three senior executives (principally for required payments of $14,481 and vesting of previously issued stock awards of $6,325).

[2] Relocation costs are expensed as incurred. However, payments of $750 made due to the relocation of a corporate executive will be expensed over the three year period following this executive’s relocation in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The agreement also included a restricted share award with a grant date fair value of $750 which is being expensed over a three year requisite service period. These expenses are the only remaining Arby’s transaction related costs expected to be incurred.
