Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 11, 2006, Triarc Companies, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press
release announcing its results for the fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2006. A copy
of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit
99.1, which is furnished pursuant to Item 9.01, shall not be deemed "filed" for
the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise
subject to the liabilities under that Section. Furthermore, the information in
Item 2.02 of, and Exhibit 99.1 to, this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be
deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the
Securities Act of 1933.
Item 8.01. Other Events
The Company also announced that on August 10, 2006 its Board of Directors
approved the payment of regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.08 per share on
its Class A Common Stock and $0.09 per share on it Class B Common Stock, Series
1. The record date for the regular quarterly cash dividends is September 1, 2006
and the payment date is September 15, 2006.
The Certificate of designation for the Class B Common Stock provides that
the Class B Common Stock is entitled, through September 4, 2006, to receive
regular quarterly cash dividends that are at least 110% of any regular quarterly
cash dividends that are paid on the Class A Common Stock. However, on August 10,
2006, the Company's Board of Directors determined that until December 31, 2006
the Company will continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends at that higher
rate on the Class B Common Stock, if any regular quarterly cash dividends are
paid on the Class A Common Stock. The Board of Directors has not yet made any
determination of the relative amounts of any regular quarterly cash dividends
that will be paid on the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock after
December 31, 2006. There can be no assurance that any additional regular
quarterly cash dividends will be declared or paid, or of the amount or timing of
such dividends, if any.
A copy of the press release announcing the foregoing is filed as Exhibit
99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
