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, 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,
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 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your consent will remain in effect unless it is withdrawn by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, 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 [phone] or by
sending an e-mail to [email protected].
