Sandell (“Sandell”, and collectively with CMI, SAMC, CIL and CIHL, the “Sandell Filing Persons” and, together with the Trian Filing Persons, the “Filing Persons”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 13, 2005 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Filing Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 17, 2006, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the Common Shares, $.10 stated value (the “Shares”), of Wendy’s International, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Issuer”).

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

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is restated in its entirety as follows:

On March 2, 2006, the Filing Persons entered into an Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Issuer, which Agreement is filed as Exhibit 8 hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Issuer has agreed, as promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than March 6, 2006, to (i) increase the size of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) from twelve to fifteen directors; and (ii) appoint as directors the following three individuals proposed by Trian: (x) Peter H. Rothschild, whose term shall expire at the Issuer’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, (y) Stuart I. Oran, whose term shall expire at the Issuer’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and (z) Jerry W. Levin, whose term shall expire at the Issuer’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Issuer has also agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that (i) Peter H. Rothschild is reelected as a director at the Issuer’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and (ii) Stuart I. Oran is reelected as a director at the Issuer’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The Issuer has also agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to (a) complete the initial public offering of Tim Hortons Inc., and spin off its remaining shares no later than December 31, 2006, (b) following the initial public offering of Tim Hortons Inc., examine ways to return excess cash to the Issuer’s shareholders, including share repurchases or dividends, and the appropriate timing thereof, (c) consistent with the Issuer’s previously announced “3-Year Combo Plan,” continue to focus on improving operating profit margins at Wendy’s and (d) explore strategic alternatives for the Issuer’s Baja Fresh business.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Filing Persons have agreed not to submit any stockholder proposal, notice of nomination or other business for consideration at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Issuer, or any other meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer held on or prior to June 30, 2007, and to support the Board’s proposed nominees for election as directors at the 2006 and 2007 Annual Meetings of Shareholders. The Filing Persons have also agreed to certain limits on the number of additional Shares that they can acquire before such date. However, under certain circumstances set forth in the Agreement, the various restrictions on the Filing Persons and certain of the Company’s agreements will terminate prior to June 30, 2007.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 8 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The Filing Persons do not have any present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or in the Agreement or as would occur upon completion of any of the actions set forth in the Agreement. The Filing Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Subject to the provisions of the Agreement, depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position, results and strategic direction, price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Filing Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, but not limited to, purchasing additional Issuer Securities or selling some or all of their Issuer Securities, or communicating with the Issuer or other investors. The Filing Persons have no intention, either alone or in concert with another person, to acquire or exercise control of the Issuer.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationship with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

19

See Item 4 for a description of the Agreement. Except as set forth in the 13D and in Item 4 above there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Filing Persons or between the Filing Persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
