Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO (this Amendment), filed in response to comments raised by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commissions Division of Corporation Finance, amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2008 (the Schedule TO) by Trian Partners, L.P., Trian Partners Master Fund, L.P., Trian Partners Parallel Fund I, L.P. and Trian Partners Parallel Fund II, L.P. (collectively, the Purchaser) relating to the tender offer by Purchaser for up to 40,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the shares), of Wendys/Arbys Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Wendys/Arbys), at a price of $4.15 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest (subject to any required withholding of taxes), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase (the Offer to Purchase), dated November 6, 2008, and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.
Item 1. Summary Term Sheet
Item 1 of the original Schedule TO, which incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase and the related letter of transmittal, is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The response to the question Who is offering to buy my shares in the section entitled Summary Term Sheet of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
Trian Partners, L.P., Trian Partners Master Fund, L.P., Trian Partners Parallel Fund I, L.P., and Trian Partners Parallel Fund II, L.P.

The Trian principals and investment funds managed by Trian Partners beneficially own, in the aggregate, 52,059,387 shares, which represents approximately 11.1% of the outstanding shares. Mr. Peltz is non-executive Chairman, Mr. May is non-executive Vice Chairman and Mr. Garden is a director of Wendys/Arbys. If we purchase 40,000,000 shares in our offer, the Trian principals and investment funds managed by Trian Partners will beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 19.6% of the outstanding shares.
As of August 5, 2008, the record date for the shareholder vote to approve the merger between Wendys International, Inc. and Triarc Companies, Inc., Mr. Peltz and Mr. May owned in the aggregate approximately 34.3% of the total voting power of Triarc Companies, Inc., thereby making them, in the aggregate, the largest shareholder of Triarc.

See Section 9 of this Offer to Purchase, Information Concerning the Purchaser and Its Affiliates.
The response to the question Why are you making the offer in the section entitled Summary Term Sheet of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
We are making this offer because we would like to increase our equity investment in Wendys/Arbys through the acquisition of additional shares. We currently intend to acquire additional common stock of Wendys/Arbys subsequent to the expiration of the offer. Wendys/Arbys has granted us a waiver under Section 203 of the DGCL to acquire up to 25% of the outstanding shares through the tender offer and/or subsequent acquisitions of shares. This waiver does not restrict us from acquiring more than 25% of the outstanding shares. However, to the extent we increase our aggregate beneficial ownership in the shares to greater than 25% of the outstanding shares, we will not be permitted to engage in a business combination (within the meaning of Section 203) for a period of three years following the date on which we acquire more than 25% of the outstanding shares, unless certain exceptions in Section 203(b)(3) through (7) are available (assuming for these purposes that 15% in the definition of interested stockholder contained in Section 203 was deemed to be 25%) or our acquisition of more than
-18-
25% of the outstanding shares is approved by the Board of Directors for purposes of Section 203. See Section 12 of this Offer to Purchase, Background and Purpose of the Offer; Plans; Use of Securities.
The section entitled Summary Term Sheet in the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by adding the following:
We understand that the Trian Funds and Wendys/Arbys entered into an agreement on November 5, 2008. What are the material terms of this agreement?
On November 5, 2008, the Trian Funds and Wendys/Arbys entered into an agreement, pursuant to which, the Wendys/Arbys independent directors agreed to (i) grant us a waiver under Section 203 of the DGCL to acquire up to 25% of the outstanding shares through the tender offer and/or subsequent acquisitions of shares and (ii) take a neutral position with respect to the offer in the Wendys/Arbys Schedule 14D-9. We agreed that, so long as Wendys/Arbys has a class of equity securities that is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange, (a) we and any of our affiliates or associates will not participate in any proxy solicitation or submit any proposal, if the result of such solicitation or proposal would be to cause the Wendys/Arbys board to be comprised of less than a majority of independent directors and (b) we and any of our affiliates or associates will not engage in any related party transaction with Wendys/Arbys unless such transaction is approved by a committee that is comprised of independent directors. We also agreed that we would not amend the offer to reduce the price per share payable to tendering shareholders to less than $4.15 per share. The agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Trian Funds ceasing to own in the aggregate 15% of the outstanding voting power of Wendys/Arbys, (ii) the third anniversary of the date of the agreement and (iii) such time as any person other than the Trian Funds or any affiliate, associate of, or member of a Schedule 13D group with, the Trian Funds, makes an offer to purchase an amount of shares that when added to the number of shares already beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates and associates equals or exceeds 50% of the outstanding voting power of Wendys/Arbys or all or substantially all of the assets of Wendys/Arbys or solicits proxies with respect to a majority slate of directors. Additionally, if following consummation of the offer, we are not the owners of 15% of the outstanding shares (including shares owned by us prior to the offer), the entire agreement will become null and void ab initio and the waiver granted to the Trian Funds under Section 203 of the DGCL will no longer be in effect.
Item 4. Terms of the Transaction.
Item 4 of the original Schedule TO, which incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase and the related letter of transmittal, is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The third paragraph in Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
This discussion does not address any tax consequences arising under U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws or any state, local or foreign tax laws. If you are considering participating in the offer, you should consult your own tax advisor regarding the application of U.S. federal income tax laws, as well as the application of any state, local or foreign tax laws, to your particular situation.
Subsection (c) of Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
any change (or any condition, event or development involving a prospective change) shall have occurred or been threatened in the business, properties, assets, liabilities, capitalization, stockholders equity, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, licenses, franchises, results of operations or prospects of Wendys/Arbys or any of its subsidiaries which, in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser, is or may be materially adverse to Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates or Wendys/Arbys or to any of its subsidiaries;
The last paragraph in Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
-19-
All conditions to the offer must be satisfied or, other than those conditions dependent upon the receipt of governmental approvals, waived by the Trian Funds and Trian principals, prior to the expiration of the offer. The failure by us at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any right prior to the expiration of the offer, the waiver of such right with respect to any particular facts or circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts or circumstances, and each right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time prior to the expiration of the offer. In the event that we become aware that a condition has failed, or will necessarily fail, prior to the expiration of the offer, we will promptly notify you, which notification may be made by a press release, whether we will waive such condition and proceed with the offer or terminate the offer. In the event that we waive any such condition, we will extend the expiration of the offer to the extent necessary for the offer to expire no earlier than five business days from the date of our announcement of such waiver.

Items 5 and 6 of the original Schedule TO, which incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase and the related letter of transmittal, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The subsection entitled Plans in Section 12 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
Plans. The offer is not the first step in a series of transactions undertaken with the purpose or reasonable likelihood of producing a going private effect as specified in Rule 13e-3. The Trian principals and Trian Funds intend to review their investment in Wendys/Arbys on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, Wendys/Arbys financial position, results and strategic direction, price levels of the common stock of Wendys/Arbys, conditions in the securities and credit markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Trian principals and Trian Funds may take such actions with respect to their investment in Wendys/Arbys as they deem appropriate. The Trian principals and Trian Funds currently intend to increase their investment in Wendys/Arbys through the acquisition of additional common stock of Wendys/Arbys subsequent to the expiration of the offer and may do so through additional tender offers, open market transactions, private transactions or otherwise. Future acquisitions of common stock of Wendys/Arbys will depend, among other things, on market and economic conditions, the Trian principals and Trian Funds overall investment strategies and capital availability and applicable regulatory and legal constraints, and there can be no assurance that the Trian principals and Trian Funds will acquire additional common stock of Wendys/Arbys. Further, the Trian Funds and Trian principals may, from time to time, propose business strategies to Wendys/Arbys. The Trian principals and Trian Funds reserve the right to change their current plans and intentions, which may include a decision not to acquire additional common stock of Wendys/Arbys or to sell or distribute some or all of their Wendys/Arbys common stock in the open market, in private transactions, or otherwise.
The Trian Funds and its affiliates do not have any current plans, proposals or negotiations that relate to or would result in: (1) any extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving Wendys/Arbys or any of its subsidiaries; (2) any purchase, sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Wendys/Arbys or any of its subsidiaries; (3) any material change in the present dividend rate or policy, or indebtedness or capitalization of Wendys/Arbys; (4) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of Wendys/Arbys including, but not limited to, any plans or proposals to change the number or the term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board or to change any material term of the employment contract of any executive officer; (5) any other material change in Wendys/Arbys corporate structure or business; (6) any class of equity securities of Wendys/Arbys to be delisted from a national securities exchange or cease to be authorized to be quoted in an automated quotations system operated by a national securities association; (7) any class of equity securities of Wendys/Arbys becoming eligible for termination of registration under Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; (8) the suspension of Wendys/Arbys obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or (9) any changes in Wendys/Arbys charter, bylaws or other governing instruments or other actions that could impede the acquisition of control of Wendys/Arbys.
