This excerpt taken from the WEN DEF 14A filed Apr 30, 2007. Stockholder Proposals for the 2008 Annual Meeting From time to time, stockholders present proposals which may be proper subjects for inclusion in a proxy statement and for consideration at an annual meeting. To be considered, proposals must be submitted on a timely basis. It is currently expected that the next Annual Meeting will be held during the early part of June 2008, with the related proxy statement being first mailed to stockholders on or about April 25, 2008. To be considered for the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, proposals must be received by the Company no later than December 31, 2007, and must otherwise comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. 76
Stockholders who do not wish to follow Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act in proposing a matter for action at the next annual meeting may also submit a proposal pursuant to the procedural
requirements set forth in Triarcs Certificate of Incorporation. Any such proposals must be specified in a written notice given by or on behalf of a stockholder of record on the record date for such meeting
entitled to vote thereat or a duly authorized proxy for such stockholder, in accordance with all of the following requirements. Such notice must be delivered personally to, or mailed to and received at, the
principal executive office of the Company addressed to the attention of the Secretary, not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 55
days notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th
day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual or special meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs. Such notice must set forth (i) a full description
of each such item of business proposed to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at such meeting, (ii) the name and address of the person proposing to bring such
business before the meeting, (iii) the class and number of shares held of record, held beneficially and represented by proxy by such person as of the record date for the meeting (if such date has then been
made publicly available) and as of the date of such notice, (iv) if any item of such business involves a nomination for director, all information regarding each such nominee that would be required to be set
forth in a definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, or any successor thereto, and the written consent of each such nominee to serve if elected, (v) any
material interest of the stockholder in such item of business and (vi) all other information that would be required to be filed with the SEC if, with respect to the business proposed to be brought before the
meeting, the person proposing such business was a participant in a solicitation subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, or any successor thereto. The Company may require a proposed nominee for
director to furnish such other information as may be required to be set forth in a stockholders notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee or which may be reasonably required to determine the
eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Company. At the request of the Board of Directors, any individual nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a director shall
furnish to the Secretary of the Company that information required to be set forth in a stockholders notice of nomination which pertains to a nominee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee has adopted certain rules with respect to nominations for Board membership. See Proposal 1. Election of DirectorsBoard Meetings and Certain Committees of the BoardNominating and
Corporate Governance Committee above. The Chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination or stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the foregoing
procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination or proposal shall be disregarded. Any questions relating to stockholder proposals should be
submitted in writing to the Secretary of the Company, at 280 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017. |
