(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 after August 21, 2003 by $0.15 for each option outstanding at the opening of the market on each of February 15, 2006, June 29, 2006 and December 1, 2006, aggregating $0.45 per share. Accordingly, the reported exercise price of this stock option was reduced by $.45 per share.

As a result of the stock dividend, each outstanding option granted under Triarc's 1993 and 1998 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.
