ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Who pays the expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies?
Expenses in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be paid by us. Proxies are being solicited
principally by mail, by telephone and through the Internet. We have retained Georgeson Inc. to act as a
proxy solicitor for a fee estimated to be $10,000, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. In
addition, our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional compensation, may solicit
proxies personally, by e-mail, telephone, fax or special letter. We will reimburse brokerage firms and others
for their expenses in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our shares.
How may I elect to receive shareholder materials electronically and discontinue my receipt of paper copies?
YUM shareholders with shares registered directly in their name who received shareholder materials
in the mail may elect to receive future annual reports and proxy statements from us and to vote their
shares through the Internet instead of receiving copies through the mail. We are offering this service to
provide shareholders with added convenience and to reduce Annual Report printing and mailing costs.
To take advantage of this option, shareholders must subscribe to one of the various commercial
services that offer access to the Internet. Costs normally associated with electronic access, such as usage
and telephone charges, will be borne by the shareholder.
To elect this option, go to www.amstock.com, click on Shareholder Account Access, log-in and locate
the option to Receive Company Mailing via e-mail. Shareholders who elect this option will be notified by
mail how to access the proxy materials and how to vote their shares on the Internet or by phone.
If you consent to receive future proxy materials electronically, your consent will remain in effect
unless it is withdrawn by writing our Transfer Agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company,
59 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038 or by logging onto our Transfer Agent’s Web site at
www.amstock.com and following the applicable instructions. Also, while this consent is in effect, if you
decide you would like to receive a hard copy of the proxy materials, you may call, write or e-mail American
Stock Transfer and Trust Company.
Proxy Statement
I share an address with another shareholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials.
How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?
The Company has adopted a procedure called ‘‘householding’’ which has been approved by the SEC.
The Company and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single Notice and, if applicable,
this proxy statement and Annual Report, to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary
instructions have been received from the affected shareholders or they participate in electronic delivery of
proxy materials. Shareholders who participate in householding will continue to access and receive separate
proxy cards. This process will help reduce our printing and postage fees, as well as save natural resources.
If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate
proxy statement, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement and wish to receive only
one, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered
shares. You can notify us by sending a written request to YUM! Brands, Inc., Investor Relations,
1441 Gardiner Lane, Louisville, KY 40213 or by calling Investor Relations at 1 [phone] or by
sending an e-mail to [email protected].
May I propose actions for consideration at next year’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders or nominate
individuals to serve as directors?
Under the rules of the SEC, if a shareholder wants us to include a proposal in our proxy statement
and proxy card for presentation at our 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the proposal must be
received by us at our principal executive offices at YUM! Brands, Inc., 1441 Gardiner Lane, Louisville,
