persons named as proxies on the proxy card will vote your shares in accordance with the recommendations
of the Board. These recommendations are:
•FOR the election of the thirteen (13) nominees for director named in this proxy statement;
•FOR the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year
2009;
•FOR the approval of the Company’s Executive Incentive Compensation Plan; and
•AGAINST the shareholder proposals.
What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?
It means that you have multiple accounts with brokers and/or our transfer agent. Please vote all of
these shares. We recommend that you contact your broker and/or our transfer agent to consolidate as
many accounts as possible under the same name and address. Our transfer agent is American Stock
Transfer and Trust Company, which may be reached at 1(888) 439-4986.
Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?
Your shares may be voted if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm, even if you do not provide
the brokerage firm with voting instructions. Brokerage firms have the authority under the New York Stock
Exchange rules to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions on certain
‘‘routine’’ matters.
The election of directors, the proposal to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent
auditors for fiscal year 2009 and the proposal to approve the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan are
considered routine matters for which brokerage firms may vote shares for which they have not received
voting instructions. The other proposals to be voted on at our meeting are not considered ‘‘routine’’ under
applicable rules. When a proposal is not a routine matter and the brokerage firm has not received voting
instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares with respect to that proposal, the brokerage firm
cannot vote the shares on that proposal. This is called a ‘‘broker non-vote.’’
Proxy Statement
How can I attend the meeting?
The Annual Meeting is open to all holders of YUM common stock as of the close of business on
March 23, 2009, or their duly appointed proxies. You will need a valid picture identification and either an
admission ticket or proof of ownership of YUM’s common stock to enter the meeting. If you are a
registered owner, your Notice will be your admission ticket. If you received the proxy statement and
Annual Report by mail, you will find an admission ticket attached to the proxy card sent to you. If you plan
to attend the meeting, please so indicate when you vote and bring the ticket with you to the meeting. If
your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, your admission ticket is the
left side of your voting information form. If you do not bring your admission ticket, you will need proof of
ownership to be admitted to the meeting. A recent brokerage statement or letter from a bank or broker is
an example of proof of ownership. If you arrive at the meeting without an admission ticket, we will admit
you only if we are able to verify that you are a YUM shareholder. Your admittance to the Annual Meeting
will depend upon availability of seating. All shareholders will be required to present valid picture
identification prior to admittance. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE VALID PICTURE IDENTIFICATION
AND EITHER AN ADMISSION TICKET OR PROOF THAT YOU OWN YUM COMMON STOCK,
YOU MAY NOT BE ADMITTED INTO THE MEETING.
Please note that cameras, sound or video recording equipment, cellular telephones, blackberries and
other similar devices, large bags, briefcases and packages will not be allowed in the meeting room.
