The name, citizenship, present principal occupation or employment and business address of each director and executive officer of Trian Management and the Sandell Filing Persons are set forth in Schedule A attached hereto.

No member of any of the Filing Persons nor any manager, director or executive officer of any of the Filing Persons listed on Schedule A hereto, has, during the past five years, (a) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (b) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting, or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State

securities laws or a finding of any violation with respect to such laws.

The Filing Persons have filed this statement jointly because on November 4, 2005 SAMC and Trian Management entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”), as more fully described in Item 6 below, pursuant to which the parties agreed to coordinate their efforts with respect to (i) the purchase of up to a 9.9% beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer, whether through the purchase of equity securities of the Issuer and/or options, swaps or other derivative securities or instruments relating to the Issuer (collectively, “Issuer Securities”) and (ii) the proposal of certain actions and/or transactions to the Issuer. As a result, the Trian Filing Persons and the Sandell Filing Persons may be deemed to be a “group” for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations issued thereunder and each Filing Person may be deemed to “beneficially own” all of the Shares owned by each other Filing Person. However, except as described in this statement, the Trian Filing Persons, on the one hand, and the Sandell Filing Persons, on the other, have no agreements or understandings between them relating to the acquisition, disposition or voting of the Shares held by them and each expressly disclaims beneficial ownership for all purposes of the Shares held by the other.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

As of 4:00 pm, New York City time, on December 12, 2005, the aggregate purchase price of the 365,750 Shares purchased by Trian Onshore, Trian Offshore, Trian Offshore (Non-ERISA), Parallel Fund and the Separate Account, collectively, was $17,649,104.55 (including commissions). In addition, as of such time and date, such Filing Persons and the Separate Account collectively owned an economic interest in an additional 2,085,737 Shares, which was acquired through a series of privately negotiated back-to-back call and put transactions with a financial institution (the “Trian Options”) and as a result of which such Filing Persons and the Separate Account are subject to the same economic gain or loss as if they had purchased the underlying Shares. Such Filing Persons and the Separate Account currently intend to exercise these call options using general working capital currently available. These call options have an aggregate strike price of $103,958,137.80. (See Item 5 below for additional detail on the Trian Options). As set forth in Item 5, none of the other Trian Filing Persons directly own any Shares or options. The source of funding for the purchase of the Shares was, and the source of funding for the purchase of any additional Shares is currently expected to be, the respective general working capital of the purchasers.

As of 4:00 pm, New York City time, on December 12, 2005, the aggregate purchase price of the 584,250 Shares purchased by CMI was $28,192,725.45 (including commissions). In addition, as of such time and date, CMI owned an economic interest in an additional 3,331,763 Shares, which was acquired through a series of privately negotiated back-to-back call and put transactions with a financial institution (the “Sandell Options”, and together with the Trian Options, the “Options”) and as a result of which CMI is subject to the same economic gain or loss as if it had purchased the underlying Shares. CMI currently intends to exercise these call options using general working capital currently available. These call options have an aggregate strike price of $166,063,065. (See Item 5 below for additional detail on the Sandell Options). As set forth in Item 5, none of the other Sandell Filing Persons directly own any Shares or options. The source of funding for the purchase of the Shares was, and the source of funding for the purchase of any additional Shares is currently expected to be, the general working capital of CMI.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Filing Persons acquired the Shares and Options because they believe that the Shares are currently undervalued in the market place and represent an attractive investment opportunity. In early December 2005, a representative of the Filing Persons attempted to contact John T. Schuessler, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, several times. After leaving several messages for Mr. Schuessler, the representative of the Filing Persons was contacted by Mr. John Barker, Senior Vice President, Investor Relations and Financial Communications of the Issuer. The representative of the Filing Persons told Mr. Barker that “we come in peace” and that the Filing Persons had established a significant stake in the Issuer, just below the Schedule 13D 5% filing threshold. The representative of the Filing Persons requested a meeting with Mr. Schuessler, at a convenient time and location, to discuss the Filing Persons’ value creation plan, which includes (i) the immediate commencement of a 100% tax-free spinoff of Tim Hortons, (ii) the sale of the Issuer’s ancillary brands, (iii) the reevaluation of certain components of the Issuer’s previously announced strategic initiatives and (iv) a significant reduction in costs at the Issuer’s Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers business. The representative of the Filing Persons advised Mr. Barker that if the Filing Persons’ value creation plan was discussed and agreed to, the Filing Persons would possibly maintain their ownership level below 5% (and not file a Schedule 13D) since the intention of the Filing Persons was not to wage a battle in the press. On December 6, 2005, Mr. Barker informed the representative of the Filing Persons that Mr. Schuessler was currently too busy “managing the brand” to meet with representatives of the Filing Persons. A paper prepared by the Filing Persons that sets forth “A Recipe for Successful Value Creation” at the Issuer is attached hereto as Exhibit 3, and incorporated herein by reference.

The Filing Persons do not have any present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed above. The Filing Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, the Issuer’s response to the actions suggested by the Filing Persons, price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Filing Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, but not limited to, purchasing additional Issuer Securities or selling some or all of their Issuer Securities, communicating with the Issuer or other investors or conducting a proxy solicitation with respect to a minority of the Board of Directors of the Issuer at the Issuer’s next annual meeting, at which one-third of the Board of Directors of the Issuer may be elected. The Filing Persons have no intention, either alone or in concert with another person, to acquire or exercise control of the Issuer.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

______________

* On the various dates set forth above, and as more fully described below, the named persons entered into a series of privately negotiated back-to-back call and put transactions with a financial institution through which they acquired an economic interest in an aggregate of 5,417,500 Shares and as a result of which such named persons are subject to the same economic gain or loss as if they had purchased the underlying Shares. Such persons currently intend to exercise these call options using general working capital currently available. More specifically, these transactions represent call options pursuant to which, on or prior to January 27, 2006 (the “Exercise Date”), the named person may acquire the number of Shares set forth above at the price per Share set forth above. These call options may be exercised at any time prior to their expiration on January 27, 2006. Simultaneously with the purchase of each call option, the named person also sold a put option to the same counterparty for the same number of Shares pursuant to which, if on January 27, 2006 the price per Share set forth above is greater than the closing price of the Shares on January 27, 2006 (the “Closing Price”), the counterparty may require the named person to, at such person’s election, either (i) pay the counterparty an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the excess of the price per Share set forth above over the Closing Price and (b) the number of Shares set forth above or (ii) acquire the number of Shares set forth above at the price per Share set forth above. If a call option is exercised prior to January 27, 2006, the named person will receive a cash rebate from the counterparty for the period from the day after the exercise date up to and including February 1, 2006 calculated using an annual rate of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.30%.

** Represents a private transaction pursuant to which the named person sold to the Separate Account, and the Separate Account purchased from such named person, the number of Shares set forth above at a price equal to the closing price of the Shares on November 30, 2005. These transactions were entered into solely for the purpose of rebalancing positions among the named persons.

*** Represents a private transaction pursuant to which the named person sold a portion of its interest in the call and put options noted above to the Separate Account, and the Separate Account purchased such interest from such named person, in each case with respect to the number of Shares set forth above. The Separate Account paid each of the named persons a purchase price equal to the fair value of the purchased interests as of the close of business on November 30, 2005 as follows: $13,431.43 to Trian Onshore, $358,993.62 to Trian Offshore, $7,912.41 to Trian Offshore (Non-ERISA) and $25,785.44 to Parallel Fund. These transactions were entered into solely for the purpose of rebalancing positions among the named persons.

(d) Except for the Filing Persons and the Separate Account, no person is known by the Filing Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares beneficially owned by the Filing Persons.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationship with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

On November 4, 2005 Trian Management and SAMC entered into the Agreement pursuant to which they agreed to coordinate certain of their efforts with respect to (i) the purchase of up to a 9.9% beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer and (ii) the proposal of certain actions and/or transactions to the Issuer. In particular, the Agreement provides that Trian Management has final approval of all acquisitions and dispositions of Issuer Securities (subject to discussion and consultation with SAMC and, with respect to the acquisition of Issuer Securities by SAMC in excess of $200 million, the consent of SAMC), and that all such purchases and sales of Issuer Securities be allocated 61.5% to the Sandell Filing Persons and 38.5% to the Trian Filing Persons. The Agreement also provides that Trian Management has final approval with respect to, among other things (i) voting the Shares acquired by the Filing Persons, (ii) whether to initiate any proxy contest involving the Issuer, and all matters related thereto and (iii) all communications with the Issuer and any public disclosures, public statements or other third party communications, including the making of any proposals regarding corporate transactions.
