FOOTNOTE Descriptions for Triarc Companies, Inc. (TRY) Form 4 - April 2003 Peter W. May
Triarc Companies, Inc. 280 Park Avenue New York, NY 10017 Explanation of responses: (1) Distribution of shares by DWG Acquisition to Peter W. May, a general partner of DWG Acquisition, in connection with the payment of the exercise price for options to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock of Triarc Companies, Inc. that were exercised by Mr. May on April 23, 2003. See Table II. (4) With tandem tax witholding rights. (5) The options vested in three equal installments on April 24, 1994, 1995 and 1996. (6) Mr. May attested to the ownership of the shares distributed to him by DWG Acquisition Group, L.P. and reported in Table I in connection with the payment of the exercise price for the stock options referred to in Table II. As a result, 144,318 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued in respect of such options. Mr. May elected to defer receipt of such shares of Class A Common Stock until January 2, 2004, resulting in the accrual to his account of 144,318 shares of phantom stock. (7) The deferral referred to in footnote 6 is subject to further deferral by Mr. May under certain circumstances and subject to acceleration under certain other circumstances. |
