ARG’s financial results are affected by the financial results of Arby’s franchisees.

ARG receives revenue in the form of royalties and fees from Arby’s franchisees, which are generally based on a percentage of sales at franchised restaurants. Accordingly, a substantial portion of ARG’s financial results is to a large extent dependent upon the operational and financial success of Arby’s franchisees, including their implementation of ARG’s strategic plans. If sales trends or economic conditions worsen for Arby’s franchisees, their financial results may worsen and ARG’s collection rates may decline. When ARG divests company-owned restaurants, ARG is often required to remain responsible for lease payments for these restaurants to the extent that the relevant franchisees default on their leases. Additionally, if Arby’s franchisees fail to renew their franchise agreements, or if ARG is required to restructure its franchise agreements in connection with such renewal, it would result in decreased revenues for ARG.
