FIRM OVERVIEW
 History
−
Trian Fund Management, L.P. (the “Firm” or “Trian”), an established alternative investment
management firm, was founded in 2005 by Nelson Peltz, Peter May and Edward Garden (the
“Principals”). From 1983 – October 2005, the Principals (and/or entities controlled by the Principals)
participated in more than a dozen investments including several landmark deals.

Leadership
− Our three Principals combined have over 100 years of business and investing experience with a long
track record of direct operating and corporate turnaround experience.

Approach
− Research intensive collaborative activist strategy focused on buying large stakes in high quality yet
undervalued or underperforming public companies and working with management to improve
operating performance and drive earnings growth.

Investor Base
− Multi-billion dollar assets under management (AUM) with a global network of investors across Pension
Plans, Sovereign Wealth Funds, Endowments/Foundations, Family Offices, Funds-of-Funds and
Insurance Groups.
STRATEGY OVERVIEW

The operational turnaround strategy employed by Trian has been developed and refined by the Principals over
several decades, during which time they have built a track record of investing in a broad range of industries
including consumer, financial services and general industrial.

Trian seeks to invest opportunistically in companies that have not optimized profitability. We seek to work
closely and constructively with the management and boards of our portfolio companies, aiming to significantly
enhance their long-term earnings power, and thus increase shareholder value, through:

−
Improved operational execution
−
Strategic redirection / stronger focus / more efficient capital allocation
−
Acquisitions / growth financings / recaps / restructurings
The majority of Trian’s equity long portfolio (90-100%) generally consists of 7-10 “core” holdings where Trian
seeks to work with management to significantly improve operations and increase shareholder value. The
balance of Trian’s long book is typically comprised of smaller “non-core” value equity positions.
