In addition to options granted pursuant to our equity participation plans, in connection with the acquisition of RTM in July 2005 the Company issued 774,066 options to acquire shares of Class B Common Stock to employees of RTM (who became employees of ARG) to replace then existing options that they
held to purchase shares of RTM (the Replacement Options). In connection with the Wendys merger, these Replacement Options were adjusted so as to become exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock instead of Class B Common Stock. These Replacement Options have a weighted average exercise
price of $8.34.
