On June 24, 2012, Mr. Fitzpatrick and Burger King Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“BKC”), entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which BKC agreed to pay Mr. Fitzpatrick the sum of $232,307.69 in bi-weekly installments during the period of June 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (the “Severance Period”), provided that Mr. Fitzpatrick will immediately forfeit any further installments in the event that he earns any compensation or fees during the Severance Period through subsequent employment or the provision of services, including consulting services. Mr. Fitzpatrick is also eligible to receive the remaining balance of funds held in trust since October 2010 as well as continued health benefits and life insurance coverage during the Severance Period; however, BKC’s obligation to provide this continued coverage will immediately cease if he becomes eligible for coverage obtained through a new employer. As a result of his resignation, Mr. Fitzpatrick forfeited all options awards granted to him. The Agreement included a general release in favor of BKC and its affiliates.
