This excerpt taken from the WEN DEF 14A filed Apr 30, 2007. Deferral Plan For Senior Executive Officers of Triarc Companies, Inc. The Deferral Plan for Senior Executive Officers of Triarc Companies, Inc. (the Deferral Plan) was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors effective December 14, 2000. Pursuant to the Deferral Plan, the Company establishes one or more bookkeeping accounts to reflect bonuses awarded to participants the payment of which has been deferred. These accounts are adjusted from time to time for earnings and investment gains and losses. Deferred bonus accounts for each participant are deemed invested in certain approved investments selected by the participant or an investment manager chosen by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the participant. The Company may replicate any deferred bonus account in a trust, in which event the value of the deferred bonus account on the books of the Company will be equal to the value of the actual approved investments related to such account in the trust. A participant may receive the value of a deferred bonus account, in cash or approved investments, or any combination thereof, from the Company upon the earliest of: (i) the first business day in January of the fourth calendar year following the calendar year in which the related bonus was awarded to the participant; (ii) no later than five business days following the participants separation from service (as defined in the Deferral Plan); and (iii) such time as the payment would be deductible by the Company for Federal income tax purposes without regard to the limitation of Section 162(m) of the Code. On or before the June 30 preceding the payment date specified in clause (i) above, a participant may elect to defer such date for up to three additional whole years. A participant may make such an election more than one time. Although a participant is at all times fully vested in his or her deferred bonus accounts, participants have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company with respect to the Companys obligation to make payment to them under the Deferral Plan and any assets contained in a trust formed under the Deferral Plan are subject to claims by creditors of the Company. Deferred bonus accounts have been established for Messrs. Peltz and May and the Company has established grantor trusts with a financial institution for the purpose of paying amounts due to Messrs. Peltz and May under the Deferral Plan. Each of these bonus accounts and trusts is currently scheduled to terminate in January 2008. The Company is aware that the re-deferral election described above will need to be amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code in respect of bonus referrals in future years, if any. No deferrals were made in 2006. The Company intends to operate the Deferral Plan in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code and to make any required amendment to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
