This excerpt taken from the WEN DEF 14A filed Apr 30, 2007. Action With Respect to 2007 Performance Goals In March 2007, the Performance Committee also established the Performance Goals for fiscal 2007 under Part II of the Plan for certain of our senior officers, including Messrs. Peltz, May, Garden, Schorr and McCarron. Performance Goals for 2007 generally covered the same categories as in Fiscal 2006 (adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA margin for ARG and D&C, successful completion of acquisitions, dispositions and financings, possible sale or deconsolidation of D&C, increases in our stock price, net realized capital gains, total return on investment and net investment income). Bonus opportunities with respect to each criterion range from 50% of average base salary to 100% of average base salary at target to up to 125% of average base salary for above target performance and in the case of acquisition and disposition activity (including the sale or deconsolidation of D&C) higher bonus opportunities for Messrs. Garden, Schorr and McCarron The recommendations of management with respect to the establishment and weighting of the Performance Goals were accepted by the Performance Committee. As a result of the contractual settlements entered into with Messrs. Peltz and May, the provisions of the 1999 Executive Bonus Plan are not applicable to Messrs. Peltz and May for 2007 and future years. In March 2007, the Performance Committee approved an amendment to the Plan (as well as the Companys 2002 Equity Participation Plan), which is being submitted to stockholders for approval at the 2007 Annual Meeting (Proposals (2) and (3) in this Proxy Statement), to provide for an additional performance goal based on the achievement of Modified EBITDA. It is anticipated that this new performance goal would apply to the bonus opportunity of the Chief Executive Officer of ARG, who was hired in April 2006. As proposed, Modified EBITDA is defined as consolidated net earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization expenses, and further adjusted to exclude the impact of financing costs associated with capital leases (as opposed to operating leases) entered into in connection with new stores opened under ARGs annual operating plan. 30
