Trian Says Wendy's Rejected Two Offers

April 18, 2008
Trian Partners, the investment vehicle of Nelson Peltz, revealed Friday that Wendy's International has rejected two offers it has made to acquire the fast-food giant. Trian also said that it will seek to call a special meeting of shareholders.

In a filing with the SEC, Trian stated that a special committee of Wendy's board of directors rejected two acquisition proposals made by Trian and Triarc, the operator of the Arby's fast-food chain. The suitors said in a letter that they were "very concerned"about the direction of the company.
