STOCK PERFORMANCE
The following performance graph shows The Wendy’s Company’s cumulative total stockholder return on its Common Stock relative to
the S&P Midcap 400 Index and to a specified Peer Group* of other companies with restaurant operations for the five fiscal years ended
January 1, 2012. The measurement points in the graph are the last trading days of our 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 fiscal
years. The returns set forth below assume an initial investment of $100 and that all dividends were reinvested when received.
On September 29, 2008, Wendy's International, Inc. merged with, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of, Triarc Companies, Inc.
(“Triarc”), and Triarc changed its name to Wendy’s/Arby’s Group, Inc. (“Wendy’s/Arby’s”). In conjunction with the merger,
Wendy’s/Arby’s assumed the WEN trading symbol on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). As such, historical stock price
information through and including September 29, 2008 reflects results of Triarc’s Class A Common Stock, which traded on NYSE under
the symbol TRY.
On July 5, 2011, following the completion of its sale of the Arby’s business, Wendy’s/Arby’s changed its name to The Wendy’s Company.
On December 27, 2011, The Wendy’s Company transferred the listing of its Common Stock to the NASDAQ Global Select Market, where
it continues to trade under the symbol WEN.
