  3. (FN 2, contd.) Mr. Garden is a member of Trian Fund Management GP, LLC, which is the general partner of Trian Management, and therefore is in a position to determine the investment and voting decisions made by Trian Management on behalf of the Trian Entities. Accordingly, Mr. Garden and Trian Management may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) the shares beneficially owned by the Trian Entities. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of their respective pecuniary interests therein and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.

On February 25, 2015, one of the Trian Entities entered into a privately negotiated back-to-back call and put transaction with a counterparty through which it acquired an economic interest in the indicated shares. Simultaneously with the purchase of the call option, the Trian Entity also sold a put option to the counterparty for the same number of shares pursuant to which, if on February 26, 2018 the exercise price per share of the call option is greater than the closing price of the shares on February 26, 2018, (the "Closing Price"), the counterparty would be entitled to cause the Trian Entity, at its election, either to (i) pay the counterparty an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the excess of the exercise price per share pursuant to such option (the "Exercise Price") over the Closing Price and (b) the number of shares set forth above or (ii) acquire from the counterparty the number of shares set forth above at the Exercise Price.
