"Shares"), of Wendy's International, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the "Issuer" or
"Wendy's"). Each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning
ascribed to such term in the Schedule 13D.
Items 2, 4 and 7 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Jerry W. Levin is a citizen of the United States of America. Mr. Levin's
present principal occupation or employment is serving as Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of JW Levin Partners LLC. The business address of the JW Levin
Partners LLC is 9 West 57th Street, NY, NY 10019.
Mr. Levin has not, 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.
Mr. Levin has filed this Schedule 13D jointly with the Filing Persons
because Mr. Levin has consented to allow Trian Partners, L.P. to nominate him as
a director of the Company at the Company's 2008 Annual Meeting (the "Annual
Meeting").
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
The Company announced on January 28, 2008 that the Special Committee of
the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") was in the final stages of
its review of strategic options and that the Board determined that it would not
exercise discretionary authority to vote on any shareholder proposal received on
or before February 11, 2008. While the Filing Persons hope that the Special
Committee's review of strategic options will result in a sale of the
Company, due to today's deadline established by the Board and the Filing
Persons belief that it is in the best interest of the Company and its
shareholders that there be additional shareholder representation on the Board,
on February 11, 2008, Trian Partners, L.P. sent a letter to the Corporate
Secretary of the Company (the "Notice"), giving notice to the Company of its
intention to appear in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and make
proposals to: (1) amend the Company's Regulations to increase and fix the size
of the Board at fifteen directors and to set the numbers of directors in each
class at (a) six directors in the class of directors whose term expires in 2011,
(b) five directors in the class of directors whose term expires in 2009, and (c)
four directors in the class of directors whose term expires in 2010 (the
"Amendment Proposals") and (2) to remove those members of the Board, if any,
that were appointed by the directors of the Company after February 4, 2008.
The Notice further sets forth that if (a) the Amendment Proposals are
approved by stockholders at the Annual Meeting, Trian Partners, L.P. intends to
nominate for election as directors Jerry W. Levin, Jeffrey C. Bloomberg, Ulysses
L. Bridgeman, Jr., Kenneth W. Gilbert, Richard A. Mandell and Gregory H. Sachs
(each a "Nominee") and (b) if the Amendment Proposals are not approved by
stockholders at the Annual Meeting, Trian Partners, L.P. intends to nominate for
election as directors Jerry W. Levin, Ulysses L. Bridgeman, Jr., Kenneth W.
Gilbert, and Richard A. Mandell. If, for any reason, more than six (6) directors
are to be elected at the Annual Meeting, Trian Partners, L.P. reserved the right
to nominate additional persons to be so elected (each an "Additional Nominee")
in order to seek proportionate representation. Additionally, if, due to death or
disability, any Nominee or Additional Nominee is unable to stand for election at
the Annual Meeting, Trian Partners, L.P. reserved the right to nominate Michele
K. Griffiths in place of such Nominee(s) or Additional Nominee(s).
In the Notice, Trian Partners, L.P. asked the Company to confirm that the
Annual Meeting will be held on April 24, 2008.
A copy of the Notice is filed herewith as Exhibit 18 and incorporated
herein by reference, and the description of the Notice herein is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Notice filed herewith.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
17. Joint Filing Agreement.
18. Letter, dated February 11, 2008, from Trian Partners, L.P. to Lee
McCorkle, Corporate Secretary of the Company.
