Proxy Statement
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. In addition, our directors, offi cers and
regular employees, without additional compensation, may solicit
proxies personally, by e-mail, telephone, fax or special letter. We
will reimburse brokerage fi rms and others for their expenses in
forwarding proxy materials to the benefi cial 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, to reduce our environmental impact 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 r eceive Company
m ailing via e-mail. Shareholders who elect this option will be notifi ed
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consent will remain in effect unless it is withdrawn by writing our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,LLC, 59
Maiden Lane, NewYork, NY 10038 or by logging onto our Transfer
Agent’s website 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,LLC.
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(888)298 -
6986 or by sending an e-mail to [email protected].
