This excerpt taken from the WEN DEF 14A filed May 2, 2005. 2002 Equity Participation Plan
The 2002 Equity Participation Plan (the “2002 Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors on April 25, 2002 and was approved by the Company's stockholders on June 4, 2002. The 2002 Plan 33
provides for the granting of stock options, SARs and restricted stock to officers, key employees of, and consultants to, the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The 2002 Plan also provides for automatic awards of options to non-employee directors of the Company and permits non-employee directors to elect to receive all or a portion of their Fees, in shares of Class A Common Stock. Subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, a maximum of 5,000,000 aggregate shares of Class A Common Stock and 10,000,000 aggregate shares of Class B Common Stock may be granted as restricted shares or to be delivered on the exercise of options or SARs or upon a director's election to receive Fees in Triarc shares pursuant to the 2002 Plan. In addition, the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock that may
be granted as restricted shares, options or SARs to any individual in a calendar year is 1,000,000 shares and 2,000,000 shares, respectively. The 2002 Plan replaced the 1997 Equity Participation Plan, the term during which options may be granted thereunder expired on December 11, 2002, and the 1998 Equity Participation Plan, the term during which options may be granted thereunder expired on April 30, 2003. As a result of the Stock Dividend, all outstanding options under the 2002 Plan at August 21, 2003 were adjusted so as to be exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock and two shares of Class B Common Stock (i.e., Package Options). As of April 12, 2005, (i) Package Options to acquire a total of 24,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 48,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, (ii) 43,000 options to acquire shares of Class A Common
Stock, (iii) 6,453,500 options to purchase Class B Common Stock; (iv) 149,155 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock and (v) 731,411 restricted shares of Class B Common Stock were outstanding under the 2002 Plan. The 2002 Plan is administered by the Performance Committee. The term during which awards may be granted under the 2002 Plan will expire on June 4, 2012. |
