and Mr. Levin (the Triarc/Trian/Sandell Filing Persons and Mr. Levin,           
collectively, the "Triarc/Trian/Sandell/Levin Filing Persons") with the         
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 11, 2008, Amendment No. 13 to    
Schedule 13D filed by the Triarc/Trian/Sandell/Levin Filing Persons with the    
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2008 and Amendment No. 14 to the
Schedule 13D filed by the Triarc/Trian/Sandell/Levin Filing Persons with the    
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2008) (the "Schedule 13D"),     
relating to the Common Shares, $.10 stated value (the "Shares"), of Wendy's     
International, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the "Issuer" or "Wendy's"). For       
purposes of this Amendment No. 15 to the Schedule 13D, the Trian Filing Persons 
and Triarc constitute the "Filing Persons." Each capitalized term used but not  
defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Schedule 13D.       

Items 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented  
as follows:                                                                     

Item 2.  Identify and Background.                                               

On September 16, 2008, Trian Management and SAMC entered into a Termination     
Agreement ("Termination Agreement") pursuant to which the Agreement between     
Trian Management and SAMC, dated November 4, 2005, as amended (the "Agreement") 
was terminated, effective immediately, with certain provisions relating to      
expenses, indemnification and regulatory reporting surviving the termination.   
Accordingly, the Sandell Filing Persons are no longer reporting persons on this 
Schedule 13D.                                                                   

Trian Partners L.P. had previously indicated that it intended to nominate Jerry 
W. Levin to the Board of Directors of the Issuer at the Issuer's 2008 Annual    
Meeting. However, Trian Partners L.P. has not nominated, and no longer intends  
to nominate Mr. Levin to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, and as such, Mr. 
Levin is no longer a reporting person on this Schedule 13D.                     

Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction.                                            

The Filing Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a         
continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation,  
the Issuer's financial position, results and strategic direction, price levels  
of the common stock of the Issuer, conditions in the securities and credit      
markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Filing Persons may    
take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem   
appropriate.                                                                    

Upon consummation of the merger between Triarc and the Issuer, all of the       
outstanding common stock of the Issuer will be converted into shares of common  
stock of Triarc. Therefore, any acquisition of common stock of the Issuer made  
by the Filing Persons prior to completion of the merger, will have the effect of
increasing the Filing Persons' investment in Triarc following completion of the 
merger. The Filing Persons currently intend to increase their investment in     
Triarc and/or the Issuer through the acquisition of additional common stock of  
Triarc and/or the Issuer. Future acquisitions of common stock of Triarc and/or  
the Issuer will depend, among other things, on market and economic conditions,  
the Filing Persons' overall investment strategies and capital availability and  
applicable regulatory and legal constraints, and there can be no assurance that 
the Filing Persons will acquire additional common stock of Triarc or the        


SC 13D/A19th Page of 24TOC1stPreviousNext↓BottomJust 19th

Issuer. The Filing Persons reserve the right to change their current plans and  
intentions, which may include a decision not to acquire additional common stock 
of Triarc or the Issuer.                                                        

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer                                   

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, between TCMG-MA, LLC, Trian Onshore,    
Trian Offshore and Trian Management, dated September 12, 2008 (the "Stock       
Purchase Agreement"), Trian Onshore and Trian Offshore purchased from TCMG-MA,  
LLC, an account managed by Trian Management, an aggregate of 251,320 Shares of  
common stock of the Issuer for a purchase price of $22.84 per share. As a       
result, (i) Trian Onshore has the shared power to dispose of and the shared     
power to vote 1,083,844 Shares of common stock of the Issuer, which represents  
approximately 1.2% of the outstanding Shares of common stock of the Issuer; (ii)
Trian Offshore has the shared power to dispose of and the shared power to vote  
3,381,522 Shares of common stock of the Issuer, which represents approximately  
3.8% of the outstanding Shares of common stock of the Issuer; (iii) Trian GP,   
the general partner of Trian Onshore and Trian Offshore has the shared power to 
dispose of and the shared power to vote 4,471,324 Shares of common stock of the 
Issuer, which represents approximately 5.1% of the outstanding Shares of common 
stock of the Issuer and (iv) Trian GP LLC, the general partner of Trian GP has  
the shared power to dispose of and the shared power to vote 4,471,324 Shares of 
common stock of the Issuer, which represents approximately 5.1% of the          
outstanding Shares of common stock of the Issuer. A copy of the Stock Purchase  
Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 22 and incorporated herein by reference, 
and the description of the Stock Purchase Agreement herein is qualified in its  
entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement filed herewith.           

As a result of the Termination Agreement (discussed in Item 2), each of Trian   
Management, Trian Management GP, Nelson Peltz, Peter W. May and Edward P. Garden
no longer may be deemed to share voting power and/or dispositive power with     
regard to the Shares that the Sandell Filing Persons directly and beneficially  
own, and therefore, no longer may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) such Shares.                               

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to
Securities of the Issuer                                                        

As discussed in Item 2, on September 16, 2008, Trian Management and SAMC entered
into the Termination Agreement, pursuant to which, the Agreement was terminated,
effective immediately. The provisions of Sections 3 (Expenses; Indemnification; 
Contribution) and 4 (Regulatory Reporting) and the governing law provisions set 
forth in Section 6(a) of the Agreement survive the termination of the Agreement.
Accordingly, the Sandell Filing Persons are no longer reporting persons on this 
Schedule 13D. A copy of the Termination Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit  
23 and incorporated herein by reference, and the description of the Termination 
Agreement herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Termination   
Agreement filed herewith.                                                       

Item 7.  Material to be Filed as Exhibits.                                      

22. Stock Purchase Agreement between TCMG-MA, LLC, Trian Onshore, Trian Offshore
and Trian Management, dated September 12, 2008.
