The remaining 159,000 shares were transferred by the GRAT to Mr. Peltz. Accordingly, Mr. Peltz's direct holdings have been increased to reflect the transfer of such shares by the GRAT.
(2) All such shares are owned by the Peltz 2009 Family Trust for the benefit of Mr. Peltz's children. Mr. Peltz's spouse is a trustee of the trust.
(3) The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
(4) Trian Fund Management, L.P ("Trian Management") serves as the management company for Trian Partners, L.P. ("Trian Onshore"), Trian Partners Master Fund, L.P. ("Trian Offshore"), Trian Partners Parallel Fund I, L.P. ("Parallel Fund I") and Trian Partners Strategic Investment Fund, L.P. ("Strategic Fund" and collectively, the "Trian Entities"), and as such determines the investment and voting decisions of the Trian Entities with respect to the shares of the Issuer held by them. Mr. Peltz is a member of Trian Fund Management GP, LLC, which is the general partner of Trian Management, and as such is in a position to determine the investment and voting decisions made by Trian Management on behalf of the Trian Entities. Mr. Peltz is also a member of Trian Partners General Partner, LLC ("Trian GP LLC"), the general partner of Trian Partners GP, L.P.
