(collectively, the "GP Entities") is also a reporting person. Since the SEC's filing system will not accept CIK and CCC codes from more than ten joint filers of a report, the GP LLC Entities and the GP Entities have filed separate Form 4s that relate to the same securities and transactions reported herein. Thus, in total, there are 22 joint filers: the GP LLC Entities, the GP Entities, Trian Fund Management, L.P. and each of the other persons that is a signatory to this Form 4. Nelson Peltz, Peter W. May and Edward P. Garden are in a position to determine the investment and voting decisions made on behalf of each of the 22 joint filers. Matthew Peltz ("M. Peltz") is a limited partner in the GP Entities and a member of the GP LLC Entities and as such has an indirect interest in the shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Trian Funds, the GP Entities and the GP LLC Entities. Messrs. Peltz, May, Garden and M. Peltz currently report their holdings and transactions in the Issuer's securities in separate filings. The holdings of securities of the Issuer and the transactions reported in this filing and in the filings by the other joint filers are also reported in the filings made by each of Messrs. Peltz, May, Garden and M. Peltz and in each case relate to the same securities (reported as indirectly held by them) and transactions.
