Dear Partners, 2013 was clearly a challenging year, as full-year EPS declined 9% to $2.97 per share, excluding special items. While these results were driven by the underperformance of our KFC China business, the rest of Yum! delivered essentially on-target results. If you’ve followed us over the years, you know one of the things we’re most proud of as a company is our ability to drive what we call dynasty-like performance, which is generating at least 10% growth in earnings per share year after year. As you know, when a company does that, its’ stock price takes care of itself. And we achieved at least 13% EPS growth, excluding special items, for 11 consecutive years until 2013. Though our 2013 results were well below our own high standards for performance, we used the year as an opportunity – I’d say imperative – to take a step back, re-evaluate and strengthen all aspects of the business so that we come out stronger and better prepared to win going forward, not just in China but all around the world. I’d go as far to say that we did some of our very best work in 2013 readying for the future. I want to highlight the work we did last year to set us up for a strong bounce-back year in 2014, and re-establish our track record of consistent double-digit EPS growth in the years ahead. Let me start with our decision to reorganize the business. As of January 1, 2014, we combined our Yum! Restaurants International and U.S. divisions into three global brand divisions: KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. China and India will remain separate divisions given their strategic importance and tremendous growth potential. Going forward, our three new divisions will define and drive the strategic positioning and operating models for KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, and will work closely with our China and India teams to ensure tight integration on brand initiatives. We believe having 100% focused brand teams will enable us to more aggressively accelerate growth in a way that generates higher returns and enhances shareholder value. We also believe know how sharing will be more powerful by bringing the U.S. and international businesses together. david C. Novak Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Yum! Brands, Inc. 1 2 FOREIGN BRAND IN CHINA #1KFC*CHINA Let me now address KFC China, which was obviously our biggest challenge last year. Specifically, we are in the process of overcoming two issues that significantly impacted KFC sales in 2013: negative publicity from the poultry supply incident in late December 2012 and subsequent news of Avian Flu. Here are some of the major actions we took in 2013 to strengthen our KFC business in China. First, in an effort to build and reinforce positive consumer perceptions around the safety of our food, our ongoing “Operation Thunder” initiatives strengthened our poultry supply chain. I assure you, we are always in the process of improving our supply chain. We also introduced a powerful quality assurance campaign called “I Commit.” As a result, we are happy to see significant progress in rebuilding trust at KFC, with our key brand attribute scores now nearly back to where they were in 2012. While we experienced significant sales deleverage at KFC, the China team deserves a lot of credit for doing an excellent job managing costs. We sharpened our ability in the areas of sales forecasting, labor scheduling and how best to optimize service levels with fewer labor hours. This capability will help us drive profitability going forward. Now, as I’ve always said, the bedrock of our success in China has been our outstanding restaurant operations, which are getting stronger and stronger. In 2013, we hired over 8,000 new management recruits into our Whampoa Management Training Academy because we’ll be opening thousands of new restaurants in the years ahead. Nearly 100% of our restaurant managers have a college degree, and about 50% of our restaurant team members are university students. With world-class operations as our foundation, we opened 428 new KFCs this past year and now have almost 4,600 KFCs in over 900 cities in China…that’s more than twice the size of our nearest competitor. KFC also has the largest home delivery business in China, with 70% of our orders being placed online. As a testament to our success, we were named the #1 foreign brand in China in a 2013 report published by the BBC. There’s no doubt KFC has been, and continues to be, a power brand. *2013 Report published by the BBC. 4,600 KfCs iN over 900 Cities iN ChiNA 8,000 w e n MANAGeMeNt reCruits 3 FOREIGN BRAND IN CHINAOur focus now is to bring more innovation and energetic news to our customers. In fact, we have an aggressive and comprehensive plan to restage the KFC brand in the second quarter, which includes breakthrough innovations in our products, menu management, marketing calendar, advertising and the digital customer experience. Overall at KFC China, we know we still have work to do but we’re confident we are making progress rebuilding trust with consumers and improving same-store sales. PIZZA HUT CASUAL DINING CHINA For Pizza Hut Casual Dining, 2013 was a strong year as we grew same-store sales by 4% and opened 247 new restaurants, surpassing the 1,000 unit milestone. With over 1,000 units in 277 cities, we are clearly the number one western casual dining chain, with a 6:1 lead over our nearest competitor. Pizza Hut Casual Dining is arguably one of the greatest success stories in our industry. In the last three years, we have more than doubled our store count, grown average unit volumes by 30% and achieved home-run economics with restaurant margins above 20%. Pizza Hut Casual Dining goes well beyond pizza as almost two-thirds of sales are non-pizza items. We also continue to leverage our assets throughout the day and have expanded our breakfast offering into over 120 restaurants. This is a huge opportunity for us as our long-term goal is to create and own the midscale casual dining breakfast occasion in China on a scale that matches what exists in the U.S. today. In fact, we will be expanding breakfast into an additional 200 units in 2014. All this is leading to an amazingly strong economic model that generates two-year cash paybacks on new unit openings, so it’s full speed ahead for our Pizza Hut Casual Dining new unit development and expanding into lower-tier cities. 30% AverAGe uNit voLuMe GroWth PIZZA HUT HOME SERVICE CHINA Now, the other thing that’s exciting about China is our Pizza Hut Home Service business, or home delivery. Pizza Hut Home Service now has over 200 units in 25 cities and is the only “All Meal” replacement delivery brand in China. Forty percent of our menu consists of Chinese food. So not only are we delivering pizza, but we’re also delivering a full array of Chinese menu options. We now have a proven economic model which positions us to begin to scale this brand rapidly across the country. 1,000 piZZA hut CAsuAL diNiNG uNits iN 277 Cities 4 5 6:1 LEAD OVER NEARESTCASUAL DINING COMPETITOR }EAST DAWNING AND LITTLE SHEEP Along with Pizza Hut Home Service, we have two other emerging Chinese food concepts in China that give us the confidence we will eventually become a dominant player in the massive Chinese food category. We are developing our own Chinese fast food concept, East Dawning, and are now testing it in lower-tier cities. Admittedly, this is taking longer than we expected, but we believe our persistence will pay off. The same could be said for Little Sheep, the concept we acquired in 2012 because it is the leader in the extremely popular hot pot category. While we’ve had some major setbacks and are working hard to improve the concept, we remain optimistic this brand will become a significant growth driver down the road. NEW UNITS IN CHINA Of course, the biggest opportunity we have in China is to penetrate the country with new restaurants. Looking at China’s new unit development in total, we strengthened our category-leading positions with 740 new restaurants in 2013, exceeding our target of at least 700 new units for the year. Going forward, we expect another strong year of development in 2014 with plans to open at least 700 new units as we continue to deploy capital into these high- return investments. 740 NeW restAurANts iN ChiNA iN 2013 Remember, Yum! currently has four restaurants per million people in China, where the consuming class is expected to grow from 300 million people just a couple of years ago to over 600 million by 2020. This compares to nearly 60 restaurants per million people in the U.S., where the consuming class is over 300 million people today. Clearly, we’re on the ground floor of global growth. Make no mistake, we wouldn’t trade our position in China with any other restaurant company in what remains the #1 retail opportunity in the world. 6 INDIA In India, we’ve made the strategic decision to invest ahead of the growth curve to best position KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell to expand even more rapidly as the country develops. This year we opened 157 new units, including Yum!’s 40,000th restaurant in Goa, and expect to open an additional 150 new units in 2014. And while our 2013 results haven’t been as strong as we’d like, we’re investing in the future of a country that has well over a billion people and is forecasted to have the largest consuming class in the world by 2030. Yum!’s 40,000th restaurant opened in Goa in 2013 7 INVESTING IN THE FUTUREMongolia Ukraine Indonesia Vietnam Russia Malaysia Brazil 8 LONG RUNWAY FOR GROWTHYUM! RESTAURANTS INTERNATIONAL At Yum! Restaurants International, the business delivered another solid year of profit growth led by high-growth emerging markets in regions like Russia, Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America. Yum! is the clear restaurant leader in emerging markets, and we continued to build upon this position in 2013. In fact, we entered four new emerging market countries this past year: Tanzania, Ukraine, Argentina and even Mongolia. And with each new restaurant opening, people lined up out the door to experience our brands. It’s clear our brands are loved around the world. Having said this, given the economic and political volatility in some emerging countries, we know there will be ups and downs. We remain extremely bullish on our long-term prospects in emerging markets as the consuming class rapidly expands. Remember, emerging market economies are expected to grow at almost three times the rate of developed market economies for the foreseeable future. So Yum!’s strongest businesses are located where the highest growth in the world is expected to occur. This bodes well for Yum! Brands. Importantly, the bulk of our emerging markets’ business will continue to be capitalized by franchisees. We now have about 1,000 international franchisees who are passionate about our brands. As evidence, YRI opened a record 1,055 new restaurants last year, 936 of which were developed by franchisees. Looking ahead, our international franchisee development pipeline is robust as we expect to open at least 1,000 new international units in 2014 outside of China and India. This franchise-led growth is great news for our shareholders as the capital-free franchise business is about as high a return business as you can possibly have. We’ve also made targeted investments in emerging markets to accelerate growth. We acquired about 100 restaurants from a franchisee in Turkey and expect to increase our pace of development in this country going forward. We opened our first company-operated Pizza Hut in Russia, and look to do the same in South Africa. We also opened a company-operated KFC in Brazil. While it’s still early, we believe these types of investments set us up to achieve higher growth and higher returns in the years ahead. 1,055 NeW restAurANts iN 2013 4 new eMerGiNG MArKets eNtered iN 2013 9 10 LIVE MásU.S. Our U.S. business is on a path for consistent growth, led by Taco Bell, which represents approximately two-thirds of our U.S. profits. Taco Bell delivered another solid year in 2013 with the fourth-quarter representing the eighth consecutive quarter of same-store sales growth. I’m extremely proud of Taco Bell CEO Greg Creed and his team for being named Advertising Age’s Marketer of the Year in recognition of our Live Más campaign. More importantly, Taco Bell was the only restaurant company to receive top tier rankings from QSR Magazine’s independent customer survey on three key operational measures: speed, accuracy and hospitality. Greg has done a sensational job leading the way. We expect some truly innovative products to wow customers in 2014, but the big news for Taco Bell will be the national launch of breakfast. We have three terrific destination breakfast products at incredible price points. Our economic model at Taco Bell remains strong with restaurant level margins over 19%. With the strength of these unit economics, we are seeing an acceleration of new unit development, with 86 net-new units in 2013 and an even better development pipeline heading into 2014. We’re confident in our ability to achieve our goal of going from about 5,300 Taco Bell restaurants to at least 8,000 in the U.S. The combination of innovation and strong operational capability gives us confidence Taco Bell will eventually become our third global brand. At Pizza Hut, we are pleased we opened 116 net new units this year, our third consecutive year of positive net-unit growth. However, we significantly lagged our competitors in same-store sales as we simply weren’t competitive enough on value. We are aligning with our franchisees to tackle this issue and bring even more innovation to the marketplace. In 2014, we expect to fare much better with competitive value and our plan to nationally advertise WingStreet for the first time, featuring our award- winning kitchen fried wings and eventually chicken strip meals. KFC also under-performed in the U.S. in 2013, but we have exciting new product innovations and more compelling value planned to improve our performance in the growing chicken category. We clearly have some catch-up work to do in the U.S. versus the competition for both Pizza Hut and KFC, and intend to make significant progress in 2014. All in all, the momentum at Taco Bell, net new unit openings, and the fact our refranchising program has been largely completed, puts us on a path for consistent growth in the U.S. NeW iNterNAtioNAL uNits iN 2013 11 LIVE MásSo to sum things up, we’re uniquely positioned for a strong bounce-back year in 2014, primarily driven by our expected same-store sales recovery at KFC in China. This sales recovery, our new unit development and the actions we’ve taken to strengthen our global business give us confidence in our ability to deliver at least 20% EPS growth in 2014. Importantly, we believe we’re stronger and better positioned than ever to deliver on the three things that drive shareholder value in retail: DRIVING NEW UNIT DEVELOPMENT Our new unit opportunity in China and other emerging markets remains the best in retail and our opportunity to expand is huge. We have three iconic brands consumers love and more than 40,000 restaurants in 128 countries and territories. We’re especially strong in high-growth emerging markets with more than 14,000 units and more than 50% of our operating profit in 2013 coming from the emerging world. While we have 58 restaurants per million people in the U.S. today, we have only 2 restaurants per million in the emerging markets. That is a long runway for growth and gives us tremendous confidence in our ability to continue our aggressive expansion for years to come. GROWING SAME-STORE SALES Our more than 40,000 restaurants have significant capacity to drive even higher same-store sales growth and profitability around the world. We’re growing our brands with a powerful combination of innovative new sales layers, expanded day parts, menu variety, strong value offers and by opening new channels with digital. Harnessing the power of digital technology, we’re expanding the use of online and mobile ordering platforms across our Pizza Hut and KFC delivery businesses worldwide. We’re also on track to launch a new mobile ordering app for our Taco Bell U.S. business in 2014. GENERATING HIGH RETURNS Finally, our returns on invested capital have consistently been among the best in the retail industry. Our growth is franchise-led, with franchisees investing virtually all the capital to own and operate what is now 78% of our restaurants. In 2013, this model generated nearly $2 billion in franchise fees, which combined with the profit from our company-operated restaurants, enabled us to invest over $1 billion in capital expenditures for the future growth of the business. And for the ninth consecutive year, we increased our dividend payment by at least 10% while returning almost $1.4 billion in cash to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases. It takes a company with considerable economic strength and growth potential to do that, particularly in a down year. 12 Today I couldn’t be more confident in the power of Yum! as we pursue our objective to become the defining global company that feeds the world. As we move forward in our new brand-focused structure, we have evolved our Dynasty Growth Model to reflect the three strategies that will drive even faster global growth and long-term, sustainable results. Build powerful brands through superior marketing, breakthrough innovation and compelling value—with a foundation built on winning food and world-class operations Drive aggressive unit expansion everywhere, especially in emerging markets — and by building leading brands in every significant category in China and India Create industry leading returns through franchising and disciplined use of capital — maximizing long-term shareholder value 13 $185 million in cash and food donations in the last 7 years 740 million meals to those in need Finally, I want you to know how incredibly proud I am of the many ways we stepped up to show that we are a Company with a Huge Heart. Leading the world’s largest private sector hunger relief effort, we’ve set the bar high year after year in support of World Hunger Relief. Nearly one billion people go to bed hungry every night and our relief efforts are more important than ever. 2013 was our strongest campaign on record with $37 million in cash and food donations! In the last seven years, our efforts have resulted in more than $185 million in cash and food donations resulting in 740 million meals going to those in need. While there is certainly reason to pause and celebrate this great achievement, we know that there is much more we can do in the fight to end hunger. Hunger is the world’s most solvable problem and together we can make a difference. I am deeply grateful for committed employees, franchisees and customers who have joined our movement to save lives and truly change the world by serving others. After reading this Annual Report, I hope you recognize the power of Yum! and agree the best is yet to come. I want to thank all our team members, restaurant general managers, franchisees, community partners and restaurant support leaders who are putting our customers front and center in everything they do. I’m so privileged to be able to work with such smart people who have such heart. It’s their collective talent and people capability that make this company special and it has never been better than it is today. That’s why there’s no doubt in my mind that 2014 will be a strong bounce-back year as we continue to build the defining global company that feeds the world. Yum! to You! David C.

Your shares may be voted if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm, even if you do not provide the brokerage firm with voting instructions. Brokerage firms have the authority under the New York Stock Exchange rules to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions on certain “routine” matters. The proposal to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for fiscal year 2014 is considered a routine matter for which brokerage firms may vote shares for which they have not received voting instructions. The other proposals to be voted on at our Annual Meeting are not considered “routine” under applicable rules. When a proposal is not a routine matter and the brokerage firm has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares with respect to that proposal, the brokerage firm cannot vote the shares on that proposal. This is called a “broker non-vote.” 4 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementQUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting? Your shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you attend the Annual Meeting in person or if you properly return a proxy by Internet, telephone or mail. In order for us to conduct our Annual Meeting, a majority of the outstanding shares of YUM common stock, as of March 3, 2014, must be present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

You may vote “FOR” each nominee or “AGAINST” each nominee, or “ABSTAIN” from voting on one or more nominees. Unless you mark “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to a particular nominee or nominees or for all nominees, your proxy will be voted “FOR” each of the director nominees named in this proxy statement. In an uncontested election, a nominee will be elected as a director if the number of “FOR” votes exceeds the number of “AGAINST” votes. Abstentions will be counted as present but not voted. Full details of the Company’s majority voting policy are set out in our Corporate Governance Principles at www.yum.com/ investors/governance/principles.asp and at page 9 under “What other significant Board practices does the Company have?—Majority Voting Policy.” How many votes are needed to approve the other proposals?

Accordingly, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposals. Broker non-votes will not be counted as shares present and entitled to vote with respect to the particular matter on which the broker has not voted. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any of these proposals. When will the Company announce the voting results?

BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementGOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY How often did the Board meet in fiscal 2013? The Board of Directors met 7 times during fiscal 2013. Each director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees of which he or she was a member and that were held during the period he or she served as a director. What is the Board’s policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders? The Board of Director’s policy is that all directors should attend the Annual Meeting and 11 of the Company’s 12 current directors attended the 2013 Annual Meeting. How does the Board select nominees for the Board? The Nominating and Governance Committee considers candidates for Board membership suggested by its members and other Board members, as well as management and shareholders. The Committee’s charter provides that it may retain a third-party executive search firm to identify candidates from time to time. In accordance with the Principles, our Board seeks members from diverse professional backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise with a reputation for integrity. Directors should have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility, be leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are affiliated and are selected based upon contributions they can make to the Board and management. The Committee’s assessment of a proposed candidate will include a review of the person’s judgment, experience, independence, understanding of the Company’s business or other related industries and such other factors as the Nominating and Governance Committee determines are relevant in light of the needs of the Board of Directors. The Committee believes that its nominees should reflect a diversity of experience, gender, race, ethnicity and age. The Board does not have a specific policy regarding director diversity. The Committee also considers such other relevant factors as it deems appropriate, including the current composition of the Board, the balance of management and independent directors, the need for Audit Committee What is the Board’s leadership structure? expertise and the evaluations of other prospective nominees, if any. In connection with this evaluation, it is expected that each Committee member will interview the prospective nominee in person or by telephone before the prospective nominee is presented to the full Board for consideration. After completing this evaluation and interview process, the Committee will make a recommendation to the full Board as to the person(s) who should be nominated by the Board, and the Board determines the nominee(s) after considering the recommendation and report of the Committee. We believe that each of our directors has met the guidelines set forth in the Governance Principles. As noted in the director biographies that follow this section, our directors have experience, qualifications and skills across a wide range of public and private companies, possessing a broad spectrum of experience both individually and collectively. For a shareholder to submit a candidate for consideration by the Nominating and Governance Committee, a shareholder must notify YUM’s Corporate Secretary. To make a director nomination at the 2015 Annual Meeting, a shareholder must notify YUM’s Secretary no later than January 31, 2015. Notices should be sent to: Corporate Secretary, YUM! Brands, Inc., 1441 Gardiner Lane, Louisville, Kentucky 40213. The nomination must contain the information described on page 65. The Company’s Principles provide that the CEO may also serve as Chairman of the Board, and our CEO, David Novak, serves as Chairman of the Board of the Company. The Board believes that combining these positions serves the best interests of the Company at this time. The Board believes that by serving as both Chairman and CEO, Mr. Novak is positioned to use his in-depth knowledge of our industry, our global business and its challenges as well as our key constituents including employees, franchisees and business partners to provide the Board with the leadership needed to set Board agendas, strategic focus and direction for the Company. Mr. Novak’s combined role as Chairman and CEO also ensures that the Company presents its message and strategy to shareholders, employees, customers, franchisees 7 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementGOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY and business partners with a unified voice. Combining the Chairman and CEO roles fosters clear accountability, effective decision-making, and alignment on corporate strategy. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews the Board’s leadership structure annually together with an evaluation of the performance and effectiveness of the Board of Directors. In August 2012, the Board created a new position of lead director, after its annual review which included engaging in dialogue and receiving input from a number of major shareholders. The lead director position is structured so that one independent Board member is empowered with sufficient authority to ensure independent oversight of the Company and its management. The lead director position has no term limit and is subject only to annual approval by the independent members of the Board. In August 2012, the Board’s independent directors appointed Thomas Ryan to serve as the lead director, and have concluded that Mr. Ryan, who also chairs the Nominating and Governance Committee, has provided effective oversight in this role. In addition, to assure effective independent oversight, the Board has adopted a number of governance practices discussed below. What are the Company’s governance policies and ethical guidelines? •• Board Committee Charters. The Audit, Management Planning and Development and Nominating and Governance Committees of the YUM Board of Directors operate pursuant to written charters. These charters were approved by the Board of Directors and reflect certain best practices in corporate governance, as well as comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules issued thereunder, including the requirements of the NYSE. Each charter is available on the Company’s website at www.yum.com/investors/governance/charters.asp. •• Corporate Governance Principles. The Board of Directors has documented its corporate governance guidelines in the YUM! Brands, Inc. Corporate Governance Principles. These guidelines as amended are available on the Company’s website at www.yum.com/investors/ governance/principles.asp. •• Code of Ethics. YUM’s Worldwide Code of Conduct was adopted to emphasize the Company’s commitment to the highest standards of business conduct. The Code of Conduct also sets forth information and procedures for employees to report ethical or accounting concerns, misconduct or violations of the Code in a confidential manner. The Code of Conduct applies to the Board of Directors and all employees of the Company, including the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer and the principal accounting officer. Our directors and the senior-most employees in the Company are required to regularly complete a conflicts of interest questionnaire and certify in writing that they have read and understand the Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct is available on the Company’s website at www.yum.com/investors/ governance/conduct.asp. The Company intends to post amendments to or waivers from its Code (to the extent applicable to the Board of Directors or executive officers) on this website. What other significant Board practices does the Company have? •• Private Executive Sessions. Our non-management directors meet in executive session at each regular Board meeting. The executive sessions are attended only by the non-management directors and are presided over by the lead director. Our independent directors meet in executive session at least once per year. •• Role of Lead Director. Our corporate governance guidelines require the election, by the independent directors, of a lead director. The lead director position is structured so that one independent Board member is empowered with sufficient authority to ensure independent oversight of the Company and its management. The lead director position has no term limit and is subject only to annual approval by the independent members of the Board. Based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board has determined that the lead director is responsible for: (a) Presiding at all executive sessions of the Board and any other meeting of the Board at which the Chairman is not present, and advising the Chairman and CEO of any decisions reached or suggestions made at any executive session, (b) Approving in advance agendas and schedules for Board meetings and the information that is provided to directors, (c) If requested by major shareholders, being available for consultations and direct communication, (d) Serving as a liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors, and (e) Calling special meetings of the independent directors. 8 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementGOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY •• Advance Materials. Information and data important to the directors’ understanding of the business or matters to be considered at a Board or Board Committee meeting are, to the extent practical, distributed to the directors sufficiently in advance of the meeting to allow careful review prior to the meeting. •• Board and Committees’ Evaluations. The Board has an annual self-evaluation process that is led by the Nominating and Governance Committee. This assessment focuses on the Board’s contribution to the Company and emphasizes those areas in which the Board believes a better contribution could be made. In addition, the Audit, Management Planning and Development and Nominating and Governance Committees also each conduct similar annual self-evaluations. •• Majority Voting Policy. Our Articles of Incorporation require majority voting for the election of directors in uncontested elections. This means that director nominees in an uncontested election for directors must receive a number of votes “for” his or her election in excess of the number of votes “against.” The Company’s Corporate Governance Principles further provide that any incumbent director who does not receive a majority of “for” votes will promptly tender to the Board his or her resignation from the Board. The resignation will specify that it is effective upon the Board’s acceptance of the resignation. The Board will, through a process managed by the Nominating and Governance Committee and excluding the nominee in question, accept or reject the resignation within 90 days after the Board receives the resignation. If the Board rejects the resignation, the reason for the Board’s decision will be publicly disclosed. What access do the Board and Board committees have to management and to outside advisors? •• Access to Management and Employees. Directors have full and unrestricted access to the management and employees of the Company. Additionally, key members of management attend Board meetings to present information about the results, plans and operations of the business within their areas of responsibility. What is the Board’s role in risk oversight? The Board maintains overall responsibility for overseeing the Company’s risk management. In furtherance of its responsibility, the Board has delegated specific risk- related responsibilities to the Audit Committee and to the Management Planning and Development Committee. The Audit Committee engages in substantive discussions of risk management at its regular committee meetings held during the year. At these meetings, it receives functional risk review reports covering significant areas of risk from senior managers responsible for these functional areas, as well as receiving reports from the Company’s Chief Auditor. Our Chief Auditor reports directly to the Chair of the •• Access to Outside Advisors. The Board and its committees may retain counsel or consultants without obtaining the approval of any officer of the Company in advance or otherwise. The Audit Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate the independent auditor. The Nominating and Governance Committee has the sole authority to retain search firms to be used to identify director candidates. The Management Planning and Development Committee has the sole authority to retain compensation consultants for advice on executive compensation matters. Audit Committee and our Chief Financial Officer. The Audit Committee also receives reports at each meeting regarding legal and regulatory risks from management. The Audit Committee provides a summary to the full Board at each regular Board meeting of the risk area reviewed together with any other risk related subjects discussed at the Audit Committee meeting. In addition, our Management Planning and Development Committee considers the risks that may be implicated by our compensation programs through a risk assessment conducted by management and reports its conclusions to the full Board. 9 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementGOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY Has the Company conducted a risk assessment of its compensation policies and practices? As stated in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis at page 29, the philosophy of our compensation programs is to reward performance by designing pay programs that incorporate team and individual performance, customer satisfaction and shareholder return; emphasize long-term incentives; drive ownership mentality; and require executives to personally invest in Company stock. In 2014, the Management Planning and Development Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”) oversaw the performance of a risk assessment of our compensation programs for all employees to determine whether they encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. In conducting this review, each of our compensation practices and programs was reviewed against the key risks facing the Company in the conduct of its business. Based on this review, the Committee concluded that our compensation policies and practices do not encourage our employees to take unnecessary or excessive risks. As part of this assessment, the Committee concluded that the following policies and practices of the Company’s cash and equity incentive programs serve to reduce the likelihood of excessive risk taking: •• The annual incentive target setting process is closely linked to the annual financial planning process and supports the Company’s overall strategic plan. •• Compensation performance measures are set for each division, are transparent and are tied to multiple measurable factors, none of which exceeds a 50% weighting. The measures are both apparent to shareholders and drivers of their returns. •• Strong stock ownership guidelines are enforced for approximately 600 senior employees. •• We have implemented a compensation recovery or “clawback” policy. •• Capital allocation process is driven by strategic objectives, aligned with division annual operating plans and requires capital expenditure approval, ensuring alignment with development and return requirements. •• The performance which determines employee rewards is closely monitored by and certified to the Audit Committee and the full Board. •• Our compensation system is balanced, rewarding both short term and long term performance. •• Long-term Company performance is emphasized. The majority of incentive compensation for the top level employees is associated with the long term performance of the Company. How does the Board determine which directors are considered independent? The Company’s Principles, adopted by the Board, require that we meet the listing standards of the NYSE. The full text of the Principles can be found on the Company’s website (www.yum.com/investors/governance/principles.asp). Pursuant to the Principles, the Board undertook its annual review of director independence. During this review, the Board considered transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his or her immediate family and the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. As provided in the Principles, the purpose of this review was to determine whether any such relationships or transactions were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent. As a result of this review, the Board affirmatively determined that all of the directors are independent of the Company and its management under NYSE rules, with the exception of David C. Novak, Jing-Shyh S. Su and Michael J. Cavanagh. Mr. Novak and Mr. Su are not considered independent directors because of their employment by the Company. Under NYSE rules, Mr. Cavanagh is not considered independent until May 2015 because Mr. Novak formerly served on the Compensation Committee of JPMorgan Chase & Co., where Mr. Cavanagh is an executive officer. In determining that the other directors did not have a material relationship with the Company, the Board determined that Messrs. Dorman, Ferragamo, Grissom, Linen, Nelson, Ryan and Walter and Mses. Graddick-Weir and Hill had no other relationship with the Company other than their relationship as a director. 10 YUM!

Transactions, arrangements, or relationships or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which a related person had or will have a material interest and that exceed $100,000 are subject to the Committee’s review. Any member of the Nominating and Governance Committee who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review may not participate in the deliberation or vote respecting approval or ratification of the transaction. Related persons are directors, director nominees, executive officers, holders of 5% or more of our voting stock and their immediate family members. Immediate family members are spouses, parents, stepparents, children, stepchildren, siblings, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law and any person, other than a tenant or domestic employee, who resides in the household of a director, director nominee, executive officer or holder of 5% or more of our voting stock. After its review, the Nominating and Governance Committee may approve or ratify the transaction. The policies and procedures provide that certain transactions are deemed to be pre-approved even if they will exceed $100,000. These transactions include employment of executive officers, director compensation, and transactions with other companies if the aggregate amount of the transaction does not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of that company’s total revenues and the related person is not an executive officer of the other company. Does the Company require stock ownership by directors? Yes, the Company requires stock ownership by directors. The Board of Directors expects non-management directors to hold a meaningful number of shares of Company common stock and expects non-management directors to retain shares acquired as compensation as a director until at least 12 months following their departure from the Board. YUM directors receive a significant portion of their annual compensation in stock. The Company believes that the emphasis on the equity component of director compensation serves to further align the interests of directors with those of our shareholders. How much YUM stock do the directors own? Stock ownership information for each director nominee is shown in the table on page 26. Does the Company have stock ownership guidelines for executives and senior management? The Management Planning and Development Committee has adopted formal stock ownership guidelines that set minimum expectations for executive and senior management ownership. These guidelines are discussed on page 41. The Company has maintained an ownership culture among its executive and senior managers since its formation. Substantially all executive officers and members of senior management, hold stock well in excess of the guidelines. 13 YUM!

BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy Statement ITEM 3 ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION What is the Company’s policy regarding the approval of audit and non-audit services? The Audit Committee has implemented a policy for the pre-approval of all audit and permitted non-audit services, including tax services, proposed to be provided to the Company by its independent auditors. Under the policy, the Audit Committee may approve engagements on a case-by-case basis or pre-approve engagements pursuant to the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policy. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one of its independent members, and has currently delegated pre-approval authority up to certain amounts to its Chair. Pre-approvals for services are granted at the January Audit Committee meeting each year. In considering pre-approvals, the Audit Committee reviews a description of the scope of services falling within pre-designated services and imposes specific budgetary guidelines. Pre-approvals of designated services are generally effective for the succeeding 12 months. Any incremental audit or permitted non-audit services which are expected to exceed the relevant budgetary guideline must be pre-approved. The Corporate Controller monitors services provided by the independent auditors and overall compliance with the pre-approval policy. The Corporate Controller reports periodically to the Audit Committee about the status of outstanding engagements, including actual services provided and associated fees, and must promptly report any non-compliance with the pre-approval policy to the Chair of the Audit Committee. The complete policy is available on the Company’s website at www.yum.com/investors/governance/media/gov_auditpolicy.pdf. ITEM 3 Advisory Vote On Executive Compensation (Item 3 on the Proxy Card) What am I voting on? In accordance with SEC rules, we are asking shareholders to approve, on a non-binding basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“NEOs”) as disclosed in this proxy statement. We urge shareholders to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning at page 28, the compensation tables beginning at page 44 and the narrative discussion following the compensation tables. Our Performance-Based Executive Compensation Program Attracts and Retains Strong Leaders and Closely Aligns with Our Shareholders’ Interests Our performance-based executive compensation program is designed to attract, reward and retain the talented leaders necessary for our Company to succeed in the highly competitive market for talent, while maximizing shareholder returns. This approach has made our management team a key driver in the Company’s strong performance over both the long and short term. We believe that our compensation program has attracted and retained strong leaders, and is closely aligned with the interests of our shareholders. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement, beginning on page 28 discusses in detail how our compensation policies and procedures operate and are designed to meet our compensation goals and how we make our compensation decisions. 20 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementITEM 3 ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION We Made Changes to Our Executive Compensation Program for 2013 After Considering Your Feedback As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, our Management Planning and Development Committee (the “Committee”) considered the feedback of many of our major institutional shareholders, and during 2013 implemented several significant changes, described below, in our executive compensation program. Specifically, changes made by the Committee included the following: •• Updated the Company’s Executive Peer Group to better align the size of the peer group companies with YUM. •• Re-designed 2013-2015 Performance Share Plan - Re-designed 2013-2015 Performance Share Plan to measure relative total shareholder return vs. the S&P 500. •• Increased Use of Performance Share Units in CEO’s Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) Program - Changed the CEO’s LTI compensation mix from 90% SARs and 10% PSUs to 75% SARs and 25% PSUs. •• Eliminated CEO’s Accruals under Company’s Pension Equalization Plan - Replaced our CEO’s nonqualified pension benefits under the Pension Equalization Plan (“PEP”) with a benefit in the Leadership Retirement Plan. As a result of this change, Mr. Novak will receive a long- term benefit that is similar to what he would have received under PEP, assuming historically normal interest rates, without the fluctuation from interest rate volatility that is inherent in the PEP. •• Eliminated Excise Tax Gross-Ups - Eliminated excise tax gross-ups upon a change in control for current and future Change in Control Severance Agreements with executives, including the NEOs. •• Implemented “Double Trigger” Vesting upon a Change in Control - Implemented double trigger vesting upon a change in control of the Company for equity awards made in 2013 and beyond. We believe these changes further align our executive compensation program with best practices, enhance shareholder value, and enable us to better achieve our business goals. Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to vote in favor of the following resolution at the Annual Meeting: RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation awarded to our NEOs, as disclosed pursuant to SEC rules, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and related materials included in this proxy statement. What vote is required to approve this proposal? Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. While this vote is advisory and non-binding on the Company, the Board of Directors and the Committee will review the voting results and consider shareholder concerns in their continuing evaluation of the Company’s compensation program. Unless the Board of Directors modifies its policy on the frequency of this advisory vote, the next advisory vote on executive compensation will be held at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. What is the recommendation of the Board of Directors? The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR approval of this proposal. 21 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementITEM 4 Re-Approval of YUM! Brands, Inc. Executive Incentive Compensation Plan Performance Measures (Item 4 on the Proxy Card) What am I voting on? A proposal to re-approve the material terms of the performance measures available under the YUM! Brands, Inc. Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (“Incentive Plan”), as required by the performance-based compensation rules under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”). The Incentive Plan was previously approved by shareholders on May 21, 2009 and has not been amended since the last approval. Why am I voting on this? In order for the Company to continue to make awards under the Incentive Plan that will qualify as “performance-based compensation” that is exempt from the $1 million deduction limit (as described below) imposed by Section 162(m), the Incentive Plan (and in particular, the material terms thereof, including the employees who are eligible to receive Awards under the Incentive Plan, the performance measures on which performance goals may be based and the individual dollar limitations on payments in any calendar year) must be approved by the Company’s shareholders. Approval of the Incentive Plan will constitute approval of the material terms. What are the material terms that must be approved? A summary of the most significant provisions of the Incentive Plan is set forth below and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Incentive Plan, set forth in Appendix A hereto. If the Incentive Plan is not so approved, incentive payments under the Incentive Plan will not qualify as “performance- based compensation”. Purpose. The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by (i) motivating executives, by means of performance-related incentives, to achieve financial goals; (ii) attracting and retaining executives of outstanding ability; (iii) strengthening the Company’s capability to develop, maintain and direct a competent executive staff; (iv) providing annual incentive compensation opportunities which are competitive with those of other major corporations; and (v) enabling executives to participate in the growth and financial success of the Company. Eligibility and Grant of Awards. Under the Incentive Plan, the Committee (defined below) may grant cash incentives (“Awards”) to Executive Officers or other members of senior management of the Company (“Eligible Employees”). The recipient of an Award (a “Participant”) will become entitled to a cash payment if certain performance goals (described below) for the Performance Period, as established by the Committee, are satisfied. The amount of the cash payment is to be based on the extent to which the performance goals are achieved. At the time an Award is granted to a Participant, the Committee will establish, with respect to the Award, (i) a target amount, expressed as a percentage of the Participant’s base salary for such Performance Period; (ii) the performance goal(s) for the Performance Period with respect to the Award, which goals will be based on one or more of the performance measures described below); (iii) the maximum payments to be made with respect to various levels of achievement of the performance goal(s) for the Performance Period; and (iv) whether the Award is intended to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation (as described below). Performance Measures. Awards under the Plan may be based on one or more of the following performance measures: cash flow, earnings per share, return on operating assets, return on equity, operating profit, net income, revenue growth, Company or system sales, shareholder return, gross margin management, market share improvement, market value added, restaurant development, customer satisfaction, economic value added, operating income, earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, return on invested capital and operating income margin percentage. Such goals may be particular to a line of 22 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementITEM 4 RE-APPROVAL OF YUM! BRANDS, INC. EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PERFORMANCE MEASURES business, subsidiary, or other unit or may be based on the Company or franchise system generally. These measures may be particular to a line of business, a subsidiary of the Company, or other units or may be based on the Company or franchise system generally. Performance-Based Compensation. A federal income tax deduction will generally be unavailable for annual compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the chief executive officer and any of the three next most highly compensated officers (other than the chief financial officer) of a public corporation. However, amounts that constitute “performance-based compensation” are not counted toward the $1 million limit. The Committee may designate any Award under the Plan as intended to be “performance- based compensation.” If an Award is designated as performance-based compensation, the Committee must certify that the performance goal(s) and other material terms of the Award have been attained before the Award can be paid. The Committee may adjust the amount of a Participant’s Award for individual performance on the basis of such quantitative and qualitative performance measures and evaluations as it deems appropriate and may make such adjustments as it deems appropriate in the case of any Participant whose position with the Company has changed during the applicable performance period. The Committee will have the discretion to adjust performance goals and the methodology used to measure the determination of the degree of attainment of such goals; provided, however, that, to the extent required by the requirements applicable to performance-based compensation, a performance-based Award may not be adjusted in a manner that increases the value of such Award. The maximum payment of an Award that is intended to be performance-based compensation will not exceed $10,000,000 in any calendar year. Payments. A Participant’s eligibility for payment with respect to an Award for a Performance Period will be determined by the Committee. Payments will be made in cash and, unless otherwise provided by the Committee, will be paid no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable performance period ends. If a Participant’s termination of employment occurs prior to the end of a performance period, any Award made to the Participant for that performance period will be forfeited; provided, however, that special rules, including special payment timing rules, apply in the case of termination on account of death or disability and special calculation rules apply in the event the date of termination occurs on account of the Participant’s normal retirement. Withholding Taxes. The Company will have the right to deduct from all payments under the Incentive Plan any taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments. Change in Control. In the event of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the YUM! Brands, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), the Performance Period will be deemed to have concluded on the date of the change of control and, within 10 business days thereafter, each Participant will receive a pro rata amount (based on the number of days in such Performance Period elapsed through the date of the change of control) equal to the greater of the Participant’s target amount or the amount the Participant would have earned for the Performance Period assuming continued achievement of the relevant performance goals at the rate achieved as of the date of the change of control. Any former Participant in the Plan who was granted an Award for the period in which a change in control of the Company occurs and whose employment with the Company was involuntarily terminated (other than for cause) during a period that a Potential Change in Control (as defined in the LTIP) is in effect and within one year preceding the occurrence of a change in control will be paid the amount of such annual incentive award as if the Company had fully achieved the applicable performance target(s) for the Performance Period in which the change in control occurs, which amount will be paid to the former Participant 10 business days following the occurrence of the applicable change in control. Return of Overpayments. The Incentive Plan provides that if an amount paid is based on attainment of a level of objective performance goals that was overstated as a result of misconduct (defined in the Incentive Plan) by an employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, with the result that the payment of the Award was larger than it should have been, the Participant (whether or not employed) whose misconduct caused the inaccuracy will be required to repay the excess. In addition, the Committee may require an active or former Participant (regardless of whether then employed) to repay the excess previously received by that Participant if the Committee concludes that the repayment is necessary to prevent the Participant from unfairly benefiting from the inaccuracy; provided, however, that (a) this repayment obligation will apply to an active or former Participant only if the Committee reasonably determines that, prior to the time the amount was paid (or, if payment of the amount is electively deferred by the Participant, at the time the amount would have been paid in the absence of the deferral), such Participant knew or should have known that the amount was greater than it should have been by reason of the inaccuracy, and (b) the amount to be repaid by the Participant may not be greater than the excess of (i) the amount paid to the Participant over (ii) the amount that would have been paid to a Participant in the absence of the inaccuracy (taking into account, at the discretion of the Committee, only the inaccuracy of which the Participant knew or should have known, and which the Participant knew or should have known was caused by misconduct). 23 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementITEM 4 RE-APPROVAL OF YUM! BRANDS, INC. EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PERFORMANCE MEASURES Instead of (or in addition to) requiring repayment, the Committee may adjust a Participant’s future compensation and the Company and/or a subsidiary of the Company will be entitled to set-off against the amount of any such gain any amount owed to the Participant by the Company and/ or subsidiary. In any event, the repayment provisions of the Incentive Plan will not apply to any reductions in Awards made after a change in control of the Company to the extent that the Award was granted before a change in control. Administration. The Incentive Plan is administered by a committee (the “Committee”) selected by the Board and consisting solely of two or more non-employee members of the Board. Subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to select from among the Eligible Employees those persons who will receive Awards, to determine the time or times of payment with respect to the Awards, to establish the terms, conditions, performance goals, restrictions, and other provisions of such Awards, and to cancel or suspend Awards. The Committee will have the authority and discretion to interpret the Incentive Plan, to establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Incentive Plan, to determine the terms and provisions of any Award made pursuant to the Incentive Plan, and to make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Incentive Plan. Any interpretation of the Incentive Plan by the Committee and any decision made by it under the Incentive Plan is final and binding on all persons. The Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it. Until action to the contrary is taken by the Committee, the Committee’s authority with respect to matters concerning Participants below the Executive Officer level is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief People Officer of the Company. Amendment or Termination. The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the Incentive Plan, provided that no amendment or termination may, in the absence of consent to the change by the affected Participant, adversely affect the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any Award granted under the Incentive Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board.

BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementSECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the outstanding shares of YUM common stock to file with the SEC reports of their ownership and changes in their ownership of YUM common stock. Directors, executive officers and greater-than-ten percent shareholders are also required to furnish YUM with copies of all ownership reports they file with the SEC. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to YUM and representations that no other reports were required, all of our directors and executive officers complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during fiscal 2013, except that the Form 4 filed on May 25, 2013 by Mr. Walter reported five late transactions. In 2013, three shareholder derivative actions were filed (one on May 9, 2013 in Jefferson Circuit Court, Commonwealth of Kentucky, and one on each of May 21, 2013 and December 9, 2013 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky) against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company. Generally, the matters assert claims of breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment in connection with an alleged failure to implement proper controls in the Company’s purchases of poultry from suppliers to the Company’s China operations and with an alleged scheme to mislead investors about the Company’s growth prospects in China. The two actions in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky have been consolidated. By agreement of the parties both the consolidated federal court actions and the state court action have been temporarily stayed pending the outcome of a motion to dismiss a related securities class action suit against the Company and certain executive officers. The derivative actions and the securities class action suit are more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013 in Part 1, Item 3, Legal Proceedings and Note 19, Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, and in previous SEC filings. Pursuant to North Carolina law, our Restated Articles of Incorporation and indemnification agreements with our Directors, the Company shall indemnify and may advance and/or reimburse certain expenses of our current and former officers and directors incurred in connection with defending these actions. Each of the current and former officers and directors is required to provide an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. 27 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Compensation Discussion and Analysis Introduction This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) describes our executive compensation philosophy and program, the decisions the Management Planning and Development Committee (the “Committee”) has made under this program and factors considered in making those decisions. This CD&A focuses on the compensation of the following Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) for 2013: Name David C. Novak Patrick J. Grismer Jing-Shyh S. Su Greg Creed Muktesh Pant (1) Title as of 12/31/13 Title(1) Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of YUM Chief Financial Officer of YUM Vice Chairman of the Board of YUM and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of YUM Restaurants China Chief Executive Officer of Taco Bell Chief Executive Officer of Yum Restaurants International We will first provide a brief executive overview. We will then discuss and analyze the following topics: •• Chief Executive Officer Pay •• How Compensation Decisions Are Made •• Elements of Executive Compensation Program •• Compensation Policies & Practices Executive Overview The power of YUM persists even during what was undoubtedly a difficult year. Our EPS decline of 9%(1) and worldwide operating profit decline of 10%(2) was disappointing and below our expectations. Yet, despite our challenges, in 2013 we continued to provide value to our shareholders with an increase of 16% in total shareholder return. We maintain a long-term view of our business, making decisions that put us in a position of strength. And in 2013, YUM delivered some major accomplishments through our global portfolio of leading brands including: •• Opening 1,952 new restaurants outside of the U.S. with 82% of this development occurring in high growth emerging markets. •• Growing worldwide system sales by 2%, prior to foreign currency translation, including 5% growth at Yum! Restaurants International (YRI) and 1% growth in the U.S. System; system sales declined 4% in China. •• Growing operating profit by 10%(2) at YRI, driven by same- store sales growth and net new unit development, and 3% in the U.S, with Taco Bell U.S. leading the way by delivering restaurant level margins of 19%. (1) Prior to Special Items (2) Prior to foreign currency translations 28 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATION YUM’s Compensation Philosophy Our compensation program is designed to support our long- term growth model, while holding our executives accountable to achieve key annual results year over year. YUM’s compensation philosophy for the NEOs is reviewed annually by the Committee, and has the following key objectives: •• Reward performance – The majority of NEO pay is performance based and therefore at-risk. We design pay programs that incorporate team and individual performance, customer satisfaction and shareholder return. •• Emphasize long-term incentive compensation – Our belief is simple, if we create value for shareholders, then we share a portion of that value with those responsible for the results. We believe that all of our long-term incentive compensation is performance based. Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) reward for value creation which over time is a function of our results and the favorable expectations of our shareholders. Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) awards reward for superior relative performance as compared to the S&P 500. Both vehicles encourage executives to grow the value of the Company with a long-term perspective in mind. •• Drive ownership mentality – We require executives to personally invest in the Company’s success by owning Company stock. •• Retain and reward the best talent to achieve superior shareholder results – To be consistently better than our competitors, we need to recruit and retain superior talent who are able to drive superior results. We have structured our compensation programs to motivate and reward these results. Relationship Between Company Pay and Performance To focus on both the short and long-term success of the Company, our NEOs’ compensation includes a significant portion, approximately 80%, that is “at-risk”, where the compensation paid is determined based on the achievement of specified results. If short-term and long-term financial and operational goals are not achieved, then performance-related compensation will decrease. If goals are exceeded, then performance-related compensation will increase. As demonstrated below, our target pay mix for NEOs emphasizes our commitment to “at-risk” pay in order to tie pay to performance. CEO TARGET PAY MIX—2013 ALL OTHER NEO TARGET PAY MIX—2013 11% 70% 19% 25% 25% At-Risk 50% At-Risk Base Salary Annual Bonus Long-Term Equity Incentive Base Salary Annual Bonus Long-Term Equity Incentive Based on the Company’s 2013 performance, compensation fell considerably versus the prior year, specifically: •• Cash compensation (base salary and annual bonus) decreased by 60% for the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and 33% for the other NEOs. •• Direct compensation (base salary, annual bonus and long-term equity incentive) decreased by 26% for the CEO and 19% for the other NEOs. •• A reduction in annual bonus contributed significantly to the year over year decline in direct compensation, as bonus payouts reflected our failure to achieve key performance metrics in 2013. Annual bonus decreased by 80% for the CEO and 51% for the other NEOs combined year over year. 29 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATION As indicated below, three out of the five NEOs had below target bonus payouts in 2013 as they did not achieve target performance levels.

These results reflect our commitment to pay-for-performance. 2013 Compensation Changes As discussed in last year’s CD&A, as a result of our 2012 shareholder vote and feedback, the following changes were made to our compensation program for 2013: •• Updated the Company’s Executive Peer Group to better align the size of the peer group companies with YUM. •• Eliminated use of similar metrics in short-term incentive (“STI”) and long-term incentive (“LTI”) programs by re- designing our 2013-2015 performance share plan to measure relative total shareholder return vs. the S&P 500. •• Increased use of performance shares in our LTI program by changing the CEO’s mix from 90% SARs and 10% PSUs to 75% SARs and 25% PSUs. •• Replaced our CEO’s nonqualified pension benefits under the Pension Equalization Plan (“PEP”) with a benefit in the Leadership Retirement Plan (“LRP”). As a result of this change, Mr. Novak will receive a long-term benefit that is similar to what he would have received under PEP, assuming historically normal interest rates, without the fluctuation from interest rate volatility that is inherent in the PEP. •• Consistent with the dominant governance model, eliminated excise tax gross-ups upon a change in control for current and future agreements and implemented double trigger vesting upon a change in control of the Company for equity awards made in 2013 and beyond. Executive Compensation Governance Practices We employ key compensation governance practices that provide a foundation for our pay for performance program. We Do ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines Compensation recovery (i.e., “clawback”) Limited future severance agreements Double trigger vesting of equity awards upon change in control We Don’t Do Employment agreements Re-pricing of SARs or stock options Excise tax gross-ups upon change in control Hedging or pledging of Company stock ✗ ✗ ✗ ✗ The philosophies, actions and practices described above reinforce our longstanding commitment to an executive compensation program that emphasizes performance and shareholder alignment. 30 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy Statement EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Chief Executive Officer Pay Our compensation program is designed to support our long-term Company growth model, while holding our executives accountable to achieve key annual results year over year. As discussed on page 29, our CEO’s pay is tied to performance, as 89% of Mr. Novak’s 2013 target pay is at-risk. As demonstrated below, our Company has continued to experience growth under the leadership and strategic vision of Mr. Novak since he was named CEO in 2000. Mr. Novak is compensated in accordance with this long-term perspective. YUM’S LONG-TERM GROWTH UNDER MR. NOVAK’S LEADERSHIP 485% Market Capitalization Growth Build powerful brands • KFC is #1 brand in China; • Pizza Hut China Casual Dining is #1 western casual dining chain with a 6:1 advantage; • Taco Bell named marketer of the year in the U.S. Drive aggressive expansion • Increased global restaurant counts by 33% to over 40,000(1) in 128 countries, giving us almost a 2:1 advantage in emerging markets Create industry leading returns • Achieved 13 year 855% total shareholder return $5.7b market capitalization $33.7b market capitalization 2000 2013 (1) Restaurant count includes licensed units Every January the Committee makes decisions about the CEO’s target compensation based on performance and market competitiveness. For 2013, the Committee determined that our CEO’s target cash compensation, consisting of base salary and target bonus, was competitive compared to our Executive Peer Group and did not increase these elements. In regards to actual cash compensation for 2013, our CEO’s pay decreased by 60% compared to the prior year, largely due to an 80% decline in annual bonus. His annual bonus reflects below target performance. As demonstrated at page 32, our CEO’s cash compensation correlates with earnings per share growth, which is our primary business performance metric. 31 YUM!

Mr. Novak’s actual direct compensation, comprised of base salary, bonus paid and annual long-term incentive award value has remained relatively flat from 2010-2012 but decreased by 26% in 2013 as a result of his reduced annual bonus. Although not included in the calculation of 2013 compensation, our CEO’s 2011 PSU award was not paid out since the average earnings per share during the 2011-2013 performance cycle did not reach the required minimum average growth threshold of seven percent. Consequently, Mr. Novak realized no value for the award which had a grant date value of $773,000 and was included in the calculation of his actual direct compensation in 2011 (shown below). The CEO’s SARs continue to only provide value if shareholders receive value through stock price appreciation. As demonstrated below, our CEO’s direct compensation, like cash compensation, tracks earnings per share. CEO DIRECT COMPENSATION(1) VS.

BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATION How Compensation Decisions Are Made Shareholder Outreach, Engagement and 2013 Vote on NEO Compensation At our 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, 96% of votes cast on our annual advisory vote on NEO compensation were in favor of our NEOs’ compensation program, as disclosed in our 2013 proxy statement. These results represented an overwhelming majority support and, while we did not make any changes to our compensation program as a result of this vote, we continued our extensive shareholder outreach program to better understand our investors’ opinions on our compensation practices and have the opportunity to answer their questions. Over the past two years, members of our management team from compensation, investor relations and legal were directly involved in key engagement efforts that served to reinforce our open door policy, which included: •• Outreach calls to our top 100 shareholders •• Actively offering meetings to the top 25 shareholders, representing ownership of approximately 48% of YUM shares •• Dialogue with two proxy advisory firms •• Investor road shows and conferences •• Presenting shareholder feedback to the Committee Our annual engagement efforts have enabled us to meet with many of our shareholders. The Company and the Committee appreciate the feedback from our shareholders and the proxy advisory firms. The Committee considers the feedback, among other factors discussed in this CD&A, in making its compensation decisions. Shareholder feedback has influenced several of our compensation design changes, including the five compensation changes adopted prior to the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, as previously discussed on page 30. The Committee did not make any changes to our executive compensation program and policies as a result of the vote on the 2013 proposal to approve our NEOs’ compensation. Role of the Committee and Chief Executive Officer In January of each year, the Committee reviews the performance and total compensation package of our CEO and the other NEOs. The Committee reviews and establishes each NEO’s total target and actual compensation for the current year which includes base salary, annual bonus opportunities and long-term incentive awards. The Committee’s total compensation decisions impacting our CEO are also reviewed and ratified by the independent members of the Board. In making these compensation decisions, the Committee relies on the CEO’s in-depth review of the performance of the other NEOs as well as competitive market information. Compensation decisions are ultimately made by the Committee using its judgment, focusing primarily on each NEO’s performance against his or her financial and strategic objectives, qualitative factors and the Company’s overall performance. In making its decisions, the Committee also considers the total compensation of each NEO and retains discretion to make compensation decisions that are reflective of overall business performance. Role of the Independent Consultant The Committee’s charter states the Committee may retain outside compensation consultants, lawyers or other advisors. The Committee retains an independent consultant, Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”), to advise it on certain compensation matters. The Committee has instructed Meridian that: •• it is to act independently of management and at the direction of the Committee; •• its ongoing engagement will be determined by the Committee; •• it is to provide compensation comparisons based on information that is derived from comparable businesses of a similar size to the Company for the NEOs; and •• it is to assist the Committee in its determination of the annual compensation package for our CEO and other NEOs. The Company considered the following factors, among others, in determining that Meridian meets the criteria to serve as the Committee’s independent compensation consultant: •• it is to inform the Committee of relevant trends and •• Meridian did not provide any services to the Company regulatory developments; unrelated to executive compensation. 33 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATION •• Meridian has no business or personal relationship with any member of the Committee or management. •• Meridian’s partners and employees who provide services to the Committee are prohibited from owning YUM stock per Meridian’s firm policy. Comparator Compensation Data One of the factors our Committee uses in setting executive compensation is an evaluation of how our target and actual compensation levels compare to those of similarly situated executives at companies that comprise our executive peer group (“Executive Peer Group”). The Executive Peer Group used for executive benchmarking for all NEOs is made up of retail, hospitality, food, specialty eatery, and nondurable consumer goods companies and quick service restaurants, Executive Peer Group as these represent the sectors with which the Company is most likely to compete for executive talent. Companies from these sectors must also be reflective of the overall market characteristics of our executive talent market, relative leadership position in their sector, size as measured by revenues, complexity of their business, and in some cases global reach. The Committee established the current Executive Peer Group for all NEOs at the end of 2012 for pay actions in 2013, which includes: AutoZone Inc. Avon Products Inc. Campbell Soup Company Colgate Palmolive Company Darden Restaurants Inc. Gap Inc. General Mills Inc. J. C. Penney Company Inc. Kellogg Company Kimberly-Clark Corporation Kohl’s Corporation Macy’s Inc. Marriott International McDonald’s Corporation Nike Inc. OfficeMax Inc. Staples Inc. Starbucks Corporation Unilever USA For 2013, the Committee removed Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Kraft from the Executive Peer Group in order to better align the size of the peer group companies with YUM. At the time the benchmarking analysis was prepared, the Executive Peer Group’s median revenues were $15.6 billion and market capitalization was $12.7 billion, while YUM’s were $18.6 billion (calculated as described below) and $27.2 billion respectively. For companies with significant franchise operations, measuring size can be complex. There are added complexities and responsibilities for managing the relationships, arrangements, and overall scope of the franchising enterprise, in particular, managing product introductions, marketing, driving new unit development, and driving customer satisfaction and overall operations improvements across the entire franchise system. Accordingly, in calibrating size-adjusted market values, our philosophy is to add 25% ($7.7 billion in 2011) of franchisee and licensee sales ($30.6 billion in 2011) to the Company’s sales ($10.9 billion in 2011) to establish an appropriate revenue benchmark. The reason for this approach is based on our belief that the correct calibration of complexity and responsibility lies between corporate-reported revenues and system wide revenues. Competitive Positioning Meridian provided the Executive Peer Group compensation data to the Committee and it was used as a frame of reference for establishing compensation targets for base salary, annual bonus and long-term incentives for all of the NEOs at the beginning of 2013. However, this data is not the only factor considered for our NEOs’ compensation, and it does not supplant the analyses of the individual performance of all of the NEOs. Because the comparative compensation information is one of several factors used in the setting of executive compensation, the Committee applies discretion in determining the nature and extent of its use. For the CEO, the Company generally attempts to target pay at the 75th percentile of the market, specifically, 75th percentile total cash and total direct compensation. The Company has a philosophy for its NEOs (other than for the CEO) to target the third quartile for base salary, 75th percentile for target bonus and 50th percentile for long-term incentives. For bonus, we use the average of the last three year’s actual bonus paid rather than target bonus when benchmarking for all NEOs. When benchmarking and making decisions about the CEO’s SARs and options, we use a grant date fair value based on the full 10-year term rather than the expected term of all SARs and options granted by the 34 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Company. This methodology is a more appropriate method to determine the award amount as it better reflects the actual historical holding pattern for SARs granted to our CEO. Our CEO receives fewer shares under this practice than if we used the expected term of all SARs granted by the Company. Our CEO’s and all other NEO’s target total direct compensation was above the 75th percentile of our Executive Peer Group for 2013. It is important to emphasize that this is the competitive positioning of our compensation opportunities. Realized pay is driven substantially by Company performance, as discussed on page 30. Elements of Executive Compensation Program Our annual executive compensation program has three primary pay components: Base salary, annual performance-based cash bonuses and long-term equity performance-based incentives. We also offer retirement and additional benefits.

Base Salary We provide base salary to compensate our NEOs for their primary roles and responsibilities and to provide a stable level of annual compensation. A NEO’s actual salary varies based on the role, level of his responsibility, experience, individual performance, future potential and market value. Specific salary increases take into account these factors. In addition, salary increases may be warranted based on a promotion or change in the responsibilities of the NEO. The Committee reviews the NEOs’ salary and performance annually.

BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Annual Performance-Based Cash Bonuses Our performance-based annual bonus program, the Yum Leaders’ Bonus Program, is a cash-based plan. The principal purpose of the Yum Leaders’ Bonus Program is to motivate and reward team and individual performance that drives shareholder value. The formula for calculating the performance-based annual bonus under the Yum Leaders’ Bonus Program is: Base Salary × Annual Target Bonus Percentage × Team Performance (0 – 200%) × Individual Performance (0 – 150%) = Bonus Payout (0 – 300%) Bonus Targets Based on the Committee’s review, the following actions were taken regarding bonus targets for 2013: NEO Novak Grismer Su Creed Pant 2013 Bonus Target Percentage 160% 100% 115% 100% 100% Action No change Increase from 75% No change No change No change Reason No increase since total target cash compensation is at our target philosophy Based on recent move to CFO position; adjustment aligned his bonus target with our target philosophy No increase since existing annual incentive target opportunity is above our target philosophy No increase since existing annual incentive target opportunity is slightly above our target philosophy No increase since existing annual incentive target opportunity is at our target philosophy Team Performance The Committee established team performance measures, targets and weighting in January 2013 based on recommendations from management. The objectives were also reviewed by the Board to ensure the goals support the Company’s overall strategic objectives. The performance targets were developed through the Company’s annual financial planning process, which takes into account division growth strategies, historical performance, and the expected future operating environment. These projections include profit growth to achieve our EPS growth target. When setting targets for each specific team performance measure, the Company takes into account overall business goals and structures the target to motivate achievement of desired performance consistent with our EPS growth commitment to shareholders. A leverage formula for each team performance measure magnifies the potential impact that performance above or below the performance target will have on the calculation of annual bonus. This leverage increases the payouts when targets are exceeded and reduces payouts when performance is below target. There is a threshold level of performance for all measures that must be met in order for any bonus to be paid. Additionally, all measures have a cap on the level of performance over which no additional bonus will be paid regardless of performance above the cap. The performance targets are comparable to those we disclose to our investors and, when determined to be appropriate by our Committee, may be slightly above or below disclosed guidance. Division targets may be adjusted during the year when doing so is consistent with the objectives and intent at the time the targets were originally set. In 2013, some division operating profit growth targets were adjusted to reflect certain Company-approved investments and restaurant divestitures not reflective of annual operating performance. These adjustments had no material impact on our NEOs’ compensation. 36 YUM!

BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy Statement EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Individual Performance Our Board, under the leadership of the Committee Chair, approved Mr. Novak’s written goals at the beginning of the year and conducted a mid-year and year-end evaluation of his performance. These evaluations included a review of his leadership pertaining to the achievement of his written goals that included business results, leadership in the development and implementation of Company strategies, and development of Company culture and talent. The Committee determined that Mr. Novak’s overall performance for 2013 was below target, as Yum’s financial results were below target, and awarded him an individual performance factor of 90. This individual performance factor, combined with YUM’s team factor of 45, resulted in him receiving 41% of his target bonus. This determination was based on the Committee’s assessment of Mr. Novak’s performance against his written goals including (without assigning a weight to any particular item): •• Not achieving EPS growth target of 10%; EPS declined by 9%(1); •• System same-store sales were flat or declined in every division except Taco Bell and YRI; •• YRI opened a record 1,055 new restaurants last year and China exceeded their development plan; •• Grew operating profit by 10%(2) at YRI, driven by same- store sales growth and net new unit development, and 3% in the U.S, with Taco Bell U.S. leading the way with restaurant level margins of 19%; •• Development of strong leaders and fostering the customer- focused employee culture in the Company; and •• His continued commitment to corporate social responsibility through the World Food Programme and other hunger- related organizations. Individual performance of the NEOs (other than the CEO) is based upon the Committee’s subjective assessment of each NEO’s performance for the year, including consideration of specific objective individual performance goals set at the beginning of the year. The CEO provides the Committee with his evaluation of each of the NEO’s performance and recommends an individual performance rating to the Committee. For Mr. Grismer, the Committee determined his performance as the Chief Financial Officer was below target and approved a 95 individual performance factor. This was based upon below target Company financial performance. The Committee also determined that Mr. Grismer positively impacted the Company’s long-term opportunities by driving Company- wide strategic growth priorities and division initiatives. Mr. Grismer’s individual performance factor, combined with a team factor of 45, resulted in him receiving 43% of his target bonus. For Mr. Su, the Committee determined his overall individual performance for 2013 was below target and approved a 90 individual performance factor. This was based upon the China Division not achieving operating profit or system sales growth targets. The Committee also determined China Division’s productivity improvement and new store builds were important achievements in 2013 that will aid future performance. Mr. Su’s individual performance factor, combined with a team factor of 54, resulted in him receiving 49% of his target bonus. For Mr. Creed, the Committee determined his overall individual performance for 2013 was significantly above target and approved a 145 individual performance factor. This determination was based upon his overall leadership of Taco Bell: exceeding operating profit, restaurant development and restaurant margin plans, driving product innovation and promoting brand differentiation through a focus on digital media. Mr. Creed’s individual performance factor, combined with a team factor of 139, resulted in him receiving 202% of his target bonus. For Mr. Pant, the Committee determined his overall individual performance for 2013 was on target and approved a 115 individual performance factor. This was based upon YRI significantly exceeding its development and customer satisfaction targets, essentially meeting its operating profit target, while achieving near-plan system sales growth. Mr. Pant’s individual performance factor, combined with a team factor of 91, resulted in him receiving 105% of his target bonus.

To that end, we use vehicles that motivate and balance the tradeoffs between short-term and long-term performance. Performance-based long-term equity compensation also serves as a retention tool. Our NEOs are awarded long-term incentives annually based on the Committee’s subjective assessment of the following items for each NEO (without assigning weight to any particular item): •• Prior year individual and team performance •• Expected contribution in future years •• Consideration of the market value of the executive’s role compared with similar roles in our Executive Peer Group •• Achievement of stock ownership guidelines Stock Appreciation Rights/Stock Options In general, our SARs have ten-year terms and vest 25% per year over four years. Each stock option and SAR award was granted with an exercise price based on the closing market price of the underlying YUM common stock on the date of grant. Each year, the Committee reviews the mix of long-term incentives to determine if it is appropriate to continue predominantly using stock options and SARs as the long-term Performance Share Plan incentive vehicle. The Committee continues to choose stock options and SARs because they emphasize the Company’s focus on long-term growth and they reward employees only if YUM’s stock price increases. For each NEO, the breakdown between SARs/stock option award and PSU award values can be found under the Summary Compensation Table, page 44 at columns d and e. The Committee changed the design of the PSU awards granted in 2013, as discussed at page 30. The PSU awards granted in 2013 can be earned based on 3-year average TSR relative to the companies in the S&P 500. The target, threshold and maximum shares that may be paid out under these awards for each NEO are described at page 47. The target grant value for the CEO is 25% of his total LTI award value and for the other NEOs is 20% of their total LTI award value. For the performance period covering 2013-2015 calendar years, each NEO will earn a percentage of their target PSU award based on the achieved TSR percentile ranking as set forth in the chart below: TSR Percentile Ranking Payout as % of Target <40% 0% 40% 50% 50% 100% 70% 150% 90% 200% Dividend equivalents will accrue during the performance period and will be distributed as incremental shares but only in the same proportion and at the same time as the original awards are earned. If no awards are earned, no dividend equivalents will be paid. The awards are eligible for deferral under the Company’s Executive Income Deferral Program. As discussed on page 32, PSU awards that were granted in 2011 were not paid out since YUM’s average earnings per share during the 2011-2013 performance cycle did not reach the required minimum average growth threshold of seven percent. 39 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy Statement EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION 2013 Long-term Incentive Awards Based on the Committee’s assessment as described above, the Committee set the following 2013 values for long-term incentive awards, including SAR and PSU awards, for each NEO: NEO Novak Grismer Su 2013 Grant Value $ 6,825,000(1) Reason Awarded above target philosophy based on strong 2012 performance and his sustained long-term results in role $ $ 1,225,000(1)(2) Awarded below target philosophy based on partial year in CFO role 2,100,000(1) Creed Pant (1) 2013 grant values are rounded to the nearest $25,000 to reflect the Committee approved valuation figures.

Retirement and Additional Benefits Retirement Benefits We offer several types of competitive retirement benefits. The YUM! Brands Retirement Plan (“Retirement Plan”) is a broad-based qualified plan designed to provide a retirement income based on years of service with the Company and average annual earnings. Mr. Novak is the only NEO who actively participates in the Retirement Plan. Mr. Creed is not an active participant in the Retirement Plan; however, he maintains a balance in the Retirement Plan from the two years (2002 and 2003) that he was a participant. The PEP is offered to employees at all levels who meet the eligibility requirements, and is a “restoration plan” intended to restore benefits otherwise lost under the qualified plan due to various governmental limits. This plan is based on the same underlying formula as the Retirement Plan. None of our NEOs participate in the PEP, as Mr. Novak ceased participating in the PEP in 2012. For executives hired or re-hired after September 30, 2001, the Company implemented the LRP. This is an unfunded, unsecured account-based retirement plan which allocates a percentage of pay to an account payable to the executive following the later to occur of the executive’s separation of employment from the Company or attainment of age 55. As discussed in the Summary Compensation Table at footnote 5, beginning in 2013, Mr. Novak started receiving an allocation to his LRP account equal to 9.5% of his base salary and target bonus and will receive an annual earnings credit on his account balance equal to 120% of the applicable federal rate. For 2013, Mr. Grismer and Mr. Pant were also eligible for the LRP. Under the LRP, they receive an annual allocation to their accounts equal to a percentage of their base salary and target bonus (9.5% for Mr. Grismer and 20% for Mr. Pant) and an annual earnings credit of 5%. The Company provides retirement benefits for certain international employees through the YUM! Brands International Retirement Plan (“YIRP”) and the Third Country National Plan (“TCN”). The YIRP is an unfunded, non-qualified plan that provides benefits similar to, and pursuant to the same terms and conditions as, the Retirement Plan without regard to Internal Revenue Service limitations on amounts of includible compensation and maximum benefits. The TCN is an unfunded, unsecured account-based retirement plan that provides an annual contribution floor of 7.5% of salary and target bonus and an annual earnings credit of 5% on the balance. The Company can add an additional 7.5%, for a maximum total contribution of 15% annually. Mr. Su is the only NEO who participates in the YIRP. Mr. Creed is the only NEO who participates in the TCN. Under this plan, he receives an annual contribution equal to 15% of his base salary and target bonus and an annual earnings credit of 5%. Benefits payable under these plans are described in more detail beginning on page 51. 40 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Medical, Dental, Life Insurance and Disability Coverage We also provide other benefits such as medical, dental, life insurance and disability coverage to each NEO through benefit plans, which are also provided to all eligible U.S.- based salaried employees. Eligible employees can purchase additional life, dependent life and accidental death and dismemberment coverage as part of their employee benefits package. Our broad-based employee disability plan limits the annual benefit coverage to $300,000. Perquisites Mr. Novak is required to use the Company aircraft for personal as well as business travel pursuant to the Company’s executive security program established by the Board of Directors. The Board’s security program also covers Mrs. Novak when she accompanies Mr. Novak. The Board has considered past instances of potential safety concerns for the CEO and Mrs. Novak and consequently decided to require Mr. Novak to use the corporate aircraft for personal travel. We do not provide tax gross-ups on the personal use of the Company aircraft. The Company pays for the cost of the transmission of home security information from Mr. Novak’s home to our security department. Mr. Su receives perquisites related to his overseas assignment which were part of his original compensation package and ratified by the Committee. The Committee reviewed these benefits during 2013 and has elected to continue to provide them noting that this practice is consistent with how we treat other executives on foreign assignment. Mr. Su’s agreement stipulates that the following will be provided: •• Housing, commodities and utilities allowances •• Tax preparation services •• Tax equalization to Hong Kong with respect to income attributable to certain stock option and SAR exercises and to distributions of deferred income Upon retirement from the Company, Mr. Su will be required to reimburse the Company for the tax reimbursements for certain stock option and SAR exercises, if any, made within six months of his retirement. Compensation Policies & Practices YUM’s Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines The Committee has established stock ownership guidelines for our top 600 employees, including the NEOs. If a NEO or other executive does not meet his or her ownership guidelines, he or she is not eligible for a long-term equity incentive award. In 2013, all NEOs and all other employees subject to guidelines met or exceeded their ownership guidelines.

(3) Mr. Grismer’s ownership guidelines will increase by 10,000 shares each of the next two years until 50,000 shares are reached. Payments Upon Termination of Employment The Company does not have agreements with its executives concerning payments upon termination of employment except in the case of a change in control of the Company. The Committee believes these are appropriate agreements for retaining NEOs and other executive officers to preserve shareholder value in case of a potential change in control. The Committee periodically reviews these agreements and other aspects of the Company’s change in control program. 41 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Company’s change in control agreements, in general, entitle NEOs terminated other than for cause within two years of the change in control, to receive a benefit of two times salary and bonus. The terms of these change in control agreements are described beginning on page 57. outstanding awards will fully and immediately vest if the executive is employed on the date of a change in control of the Company and is involuntarily terminated (other than by the Company for cause) on or within two years following the change in control (“double trigger” vesting). In 2013, the Company eliminated tax gross-ups for executives, including the NEOs, for any excise tax due under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code and implemented a “best net after-tax” approach to address any potential excise tax imposed on executives. If any excise tax is due, the Company will not make a gross-up payment, but instead will reduce payments to an executive if the reduction will provide the NEO the best net after-tax result. If full payment to a NEO will result in the best net after-tax result, the full amount will be paid, but the NEO will be solely responsible for any potential excise tax payment. Also, effective for equity awards made in 2013 and beyond, In case of retirement, the Company provides pension and life insurance benefits, the continued ability to exercise vested SARs and stock options and the ability to vest in performance share awards on a pro-rata basis. With respect to consideration of how these benefits fit into the overall compensation policy, the change-in-control benefits are reviewed from time to time by the Committee for competitiveness. The Committee believes the benefits provided in case of a change in control are appropriate, support shareholder interests and are consistent with the policy of attracting and retaining highly qualified employees. YUM’s Stock Option and SAR Granting Practices Historically, we have awarded non-qualified stock option and SAR grants annually at the Committee’s January meeting. This meeting date is set by the Board of Directors more than six months prior to the actual meeting. The Committee sets the annual grant date as the second business day after our fourth quarter earnings release. The exercise price of awards granted under our LTIP is set as the closing price on the date of grants. We make grants at the same time other elements of annual compensation are determined so that we can consider all elements of compensation in making the grants. We do not backdate or make grants retroactively. In addition, we do not time such grants in coordination with our possession or release of material, non-public or other information. Grants may also be made on other dates the Board of Directors meets. These grants generally are Chairman’s Limits on Future Severance Agreement Policy Awards, which are made in recognition of superlative performance and extraordinary impact on business results. Management recommends the awards be made pursuant to our Long Term Incentive Plan to the Committee, however, the Committee determines whether and to whom it will issue grants and determines the amount of the grant. The Board of Directors has delegated to Mr. Novak and Anne Byerlein, our Chief People Officer, the ability to make grants to employees who are not executive officers and whose grant is less than approximately 13,000 options or SARs annually. In the case of these grants, the Committee sets all the terms of each award, except the actual number of SARs or options, which is determined by Mr. Novak and Ms. Byerlein pursuant to guidelines approved by the Committee in January of each year. The Committee has adopted a policy to limit future severance agreements with NEOs or our other executives. The policy requires the Company to seek shareholder approval for future severance payments to a NEO if such payments would exceed 2.99 times the sum of (a) the NEO’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to termination of employment; and (b) the highest annual bonus awarded to the NEO by the Company in any of the Company’s three full fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year in which termination of employment occurs or, if higher, the executive’s target bonus. Certain types of payments are excluded from this policy, such as amounts payable under arrangements that apply to classes of employees other than the NEOs or that predate the implementation of the policy, as well as any payment the Committee determines is a reasonable settlement of a claim that could be made by the NEO. 42 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementEXECUTIVE COMPENSATION of inaccurate metrics in the calculation of incentive compensation. Under this policy, when the Board determines in its sole discretion that recovery of compensation is appropriate, the Company could require repayment of all or a portion of any bonus, incentive payment, equity-based award or other compensation, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Compensation Recovery Policy The Committee has adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy (i.e., “clawback”) for stock awards and annual bonuses awarded after 2008. Pursuant to this policy, executive officers (including the NEOs) may be required to return compensation paid based on financial results that were later restated. This policy applies only if the executive officers engaged in knowing misconduct that contributed to the need for a material restatement, or contributed to the use Hedging and Pledging of Company Stock Under our Code of Conduct, no employee or director is permitted to engage in securities transactions that would allow them either to insulate themselves from, or profit from, a decline in the Company stock price. Similarly, no employee or director may enter into hedging transactions in the Company’s stock. Such transactions include (without limitation) short sales as well as any hedging transactions in derivative securities (e.g. puts, calls, swaps, or collars) or other speculative transactions related to YUM’s stock. Pledging of Company stock is also prohibited. Deductibility of Executive Compensation The provisions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limit the tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1 million dollars paid to certain NEOs. Performance- based compensation is excluded from the limit, however, so long as it meets certain requirements. The Committee intends that the annual bonus, stock option, SAR, RSU and PSU awards satisfy the requirements for exemption under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). For 2013, the annual salary paid to Mr. Novak exceeded $1 million. The Committee sets Mr. Novak’s salary as described under “Base Salary” above. The other NEOs were in each case paid salaries of $1 million or less, except for Mr. Su whose salary exceeded $1 million;·however, the Committee noted that Mr. Su’s compensation is not subject to United States tax rules and, therefore, the one million dollar limitation does not apply in his case. The 2013 annual bonuses were all paid pursuant to our annual bonus program and, therefore, we expect will be deductible, except in one case described below. For 2013, the Committee set the maximum individual award opportunity between $1 million and $10 million based on the Company’s 2013 EPS growth (adjusted to exclude special items believed to be distortive of consolidated results on a year-over-year basis-these are the same items excluded in the Company’s annual earnings releases). Based on the Company’s EPS decline of 9%, the maximum 2013 award opportunity for each executive officer was $1 million. The Committee then exercised its negative discretion in determining actual incentive awards based on team performance and individual performance measures as described above. Except for Mr. Creed, the 2013 annual bonus awarded to the other NEOs was less than $1 million. The Committee elected to pay Mr. Creed a bonus exceeding $1 million based on strong performance in leading Taco Bell (see page 38 for a discussion of Mr. Creed’s performance.) Due to the Company’s focus on performance-based compensation plans, we expect most compensation paid to the NEOs to continue to qualify as tax deductible.

BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementExEcutivE compEnsation (1) The amounts reflect compensation for 53 weeks in 2011 compared to 52 weeks in fiscal 2013 and 2012 due to timing of fiscal period end. Amounts shown are not reduced to reflect the NEOs’ elections, if any, to defer receipt of salary into the Executive Income Deferral (“EID”) Program or into the Company’s 401(k) Plan. (2) Amounts shown in column (d) represent the grant date fair values for performance share units (PSUs) granted in 2013, 2012 and 2011 and, for Mr. Grismer, restricted stock units (RSUs) granted in 2012. Further information regarding the 2013 awards is included in the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” and “Outstanding Equity Awards at Year-End” tables later in this proxy statement. The grant date fair value of the PSUs reflected in this column is the target payout based on the probable outcome of the performance condition, determined as of the grant date. The maximum potential values of the PSUs is 200% of target. For 2013, Mr. Novak’s PSU maximum value at grant date fair value would be $3,137,310; Mr. Grismer’s PSU maximum value would be $228,196; Mr. Su’s PSU maximum value would be $684,588; Mr. Creed’s PSU maximum value would be $407,470; and Mr. Pant’s PSU maximum value would be $407,470. In 2012, Mr. Grismer did not receive a PSU award since he became a NEO after PSU awards were granted for that year. Mr. Grismer was instead permitted to defer his annual incentive award into RSUs under the Company’s EID Program. Under the EID Program (which is described in more detail beginning on page 53), an executive may defer his or her annual incentive award and invest that deferral into stock units, RSUs, or other investment alternatives offered under the EID Program. An executive who elects to defer his or her annual incentive award into RSUs receives additional RSUs equal to 33% of the RSUs acquired with the deferral of the annual incentive award (“matching contribution”). As a result, for 2012, the amount in that column represents the deferral of 100% of Mr. Grismer’s annual incentive award ($760,760), plus his matching contribution ($253,587). (3) The amounts shown in column (e) represent the grant date fair values of the stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) awarded in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For a discussion of the assumptions and methodologies used to value the awards reported in column (d) and column (e), please see the discussion of stock awards and option awards contained in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the 2013 Annual Report in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements at Note 15, “Share-based and Deferred Compensation Plans.” For Mr. Grismer, this column also includes his 2013 Chairman’s Award with a grant date fair value of $661,927. See the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table for details. (4) Except as provided below and in footnote (2) above, amounts in column (f) reflect the annual incentive awards earned for the 2013, 2012 and 2011 fiscal year performance periods, which were awarded by our Management Planning and Development Committee (“Committee”) in January 2014, January 2013 and January 2012, respectively, under the Yum Leaders’ Bonus Program, which is described further in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) beginning at page 28 under the heading “Annual Performance-Based Cash Bonuses”. Pursuant to SEC rules, annual incentives deferred into RSUs under the EID Program and subject to a risk of forfeiture are reported in column (d). If the deferral or a portion of the deferral is not subject to a risk of forfeiture, it is reported in column (f). In 2012, Mr. Grismer elected to defer 100% of his annual incentive ($760,760) into RSUs resulting in nothing to report for him in column (f) for that year. (5) The amount listed under “Change In Pension Value”, column (g) for Mr. Novak, reflects the aggregate increase in actuarial present value of his accrued benefit under the YUM! Brands Retirement Plan (“Retirement Plan”) during the 2013 fiscal year (using interest rate and mortality assumptions consistent with those used in the Company’s financial statements). As discussed in the CD&A, effective January 1, 2012, the Committee discontinued Mr. Novak’s accruing nonqualified pension benefits under the YUM! Brands, Inc. Pension Equalization Plan (“PEP”) and, effective January 1, 2013, replaced his PEP benefit with a pension account determined under the Leadership Retirement Plan (“LRP”). The amount transferred to his LRP-based pension account effective January 1, 2013 was $27,600,000 (representing his December 31, 2012 estimated lump amount under PEP). Mr. Novak now receives a market rate of interest on his LRP account plus an annual benefit allocation equal to 9.5% of his salary plus target bonus. For Mr. Su, amounts in column (g) reflect the aggregate increase in actuarial present value of age 62 accrued benefits under the Yum International Retirement Plan (“YIRP”) during the 2013 fiscal year. See the Pension Benefits Table at page 51 for a detailed discussion of the Company’s pension benefits. Mr. Grismer and Mr. Pant were hired after September 30, 2001, and were ineligible for the Company’s Retirement Plan. Mr. Creed is not an active participant in the Retirement Plan but holds a balance under the Retirement Plan from the two years (2002 and 2003) during which he was a participant. His benefit under the Retirement Plan reflects an aggregate decrease in the actuarial present value ($13,181), which in accordance with SEC rules is not reflected in the Summary Compensation Table. For Messrs. Grismer, Creed and Pant, amounts in column (g) also represent the above market earnings as established pursuant to SEC rules which have accrued under each of their accounts under the LRP for Messrs. Grismer and Pant and the Third Country National Plan (“TCN”) for Mr. Creed, which is described in more detail beginning at page 53 under the heading “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation”. (6) Amounts in column (h) are explained in the All Other Compensation Table and footnotes to that table, which follows. (7) Mr. Grismer became a NEO in May 2012. No amounts are reported for Mr. Grismer for 2011 since he was not a NEO for that year. (8) No amounts are reported for Mr. Creed for 2011 and 2012 since he was not a NEO for those years. (9) As of January 2014, Mr. Pant’s title is Chief Executive Officer of KFC. 45 YUM!

For Mr. Su, as explained at page 41, this amount represents the Company- provided tax reimbursement for China income taxes incurred on deferred income distributions and stock option exercises which exceed the marginal Hong Kong tax rate and a tax equalization settlement amount related to income for 2012. For Mr. Grismer, this amount represents the adjustment and equalization of foreign tax payments incurred with respect to income recognized in 2013 that was attributable to a previous international assignment. (3) These amounts reflect the income each executive was deemed to receive from IRS tables related to Company-provided life insurance in excess of $50,000. The Company provides every salaried employee with life insurance coverage up to one times the employee’s salary plus target bonus. (4) For Messrs. Novak, Grismer and Pant, this column represents Company annual allocations to the LRP, an unfunded, unsecured account based retirement plan. For Mr. Creed, this column represents the Company’s annual allocation to the TCN, an unfunded, unsecured account based retirement plan. (5) This column reports the total amount of other benefits provided, none of which individually exceeded the greater of $25,000 or 10% of the total amount of these benefits and the perquisites and other personal benefits shown in column (b) for each NEO. These other benefits include: home security expense, home leave expenses, club dues, personal use of Company aircraft and tax preparation assistance. 46 YUM!

The actual amount of annual incentive compensation awarded for 2013 are shown in column (f) of the Summary Compensation Table on page 44. The performance measurements, performance targets, and target bonus percentages are described in the CD&A beginning on page 28 under the discussion of annual incentive compensation. (2) Reflects grants of PSU awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions under the LTIP in 2013. The PSU awards vest on December 31, 2015 and PSU award payouts are subject to the Company’s achievement of specified relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) rankings against its peer group (which is the S&P 500) during the performance period ending on December 31, 2015. The performance target for all the PSU awards granted to the NEOs in 2013 is a 50% TSR percentile ranking for the Company, determined by comparing the Company’s relative TSR ranking against its peer group as measured at the end of the performance period. If the 50% TSR percentile ranking target is achieved, 100% of the PSU award will pay out in shares of Company stock, subject to executive’s election to defer PSU awards into the EID Program. If less than 40% TSR percentile ranking is achieved, there will be no payout. If the Company’s TSR percentile ranking is 90% or higher, PSU awards pay out at the maximum, which is 200% of target. The terms of the PSU awards provide that in case of a change in control during the first year of the award shares will be distributed assuming target performance was achieved subject to reduction to reflect the portion of the performance period following the change in control. In case of a change in control after the first year of the award, shares will be distributed assuming performance at the greater of target level or projected level at the time of the change in control subject to reduction to reflect the portion of the performance period following the change in control. (3) Amounts in this column reflect the number of 2013 SARs and stock options granted to executives during the Company’s 2013 fiscal year. SARs allow the grantee to receive the number of shares of YUM common stock that is equal in value to the appreciation in YUM common stock with respect to the number of SARs granted from the date of grant to the date of exercise. For each executive, the grants were made February 6, 2013. SARs/stock options become exercisable in equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date; except, however, 45,462 SARs granted to Mr. Grismer become exercisable on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. The terms of each SAR/stock option grant provide that, in case of a change in control if an executive is employed on the date of a change in control and is involuntarily terminated on or within two years following the change in control (other than by the Company for cause) then all outstanding awards become exercisable immediately. Participants who have attained age 55 with 10 years of service who terminate employment may exercise SARs/stock options that were vested on their date of termination through the expiration date of the SAR/stock option (generally, the tenth anniversary following the SARs/stock options grant date). Vested SARs/ stock options of grantees who die may also be exercised by the grantee’s beneficiary through the expiration date of the vested SARs/stock options and the grantee’s unvested SARs/stock options expire on the grantee’s date of death. If a grantee’s employment is terminated due to gross misconduct, the entire award is forfeited. For other employment terminations, all vested or previously exercisable SARs/stock options as of the last day of employment must be exercised within 90 days following termination of employment. (4) The exercise price of the SARs/stock options granted in 2013 equals the closing price of YUM common stock on the grant date, February 6, 2013. (5) Amounts in this column reflect the full grant date fair value of the PSU awards shown in column (g) and the SARs/stock options shown in column (i). These amounts reflect the amounts to be recognized by the Company as accounting expense and do not correspond to the actual value that will be recognized by the NEOs. The grant date fair value is the amount that the Company is expensing in its financial statements over the award’s vesting schedule. For PSU awards granted prior to 2013, fair value was calculated using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. In 2013, the Company granted PSU awards with market-based conditions valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. For SARs/stock options, fair value of $14.56 was calculated using the Black-Scholes value on the February 6, 2013 grant date. For additional information regarding valuation assumptions of SARs/stock options, see the discussion of stock awards and option awards contained in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the 2013 Annual Report in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements at Note 15, “Share-based and Deferred Compensation Plans.” There can be no assurance that the SARs/stock options will ever be exercised or PSU awards paid out (in which case no value will be realized by the executive) or that the value upon exercise or payout will equal the grant date fair value. 47 YUM!

Brands Retirement plan The Retirement Plan provides an integrated program of retirement benefits for salaried employees who were hired by the Company prior to October 1, 2001. The Retirement Plan replaces the same level of pre-retirement pensionable earnings for all similarly situated participants. The Retirement Plan is a tax qualified plan, and it is designed to provide the maximum possible portion of this integrated benefit on a tax qualified and funded basis. Benefit Formula Benefits under the Retirement Plan are based on a participant’s final average earnings (subject to the limits under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17)) and service under the plan. Upon termination of employment, a participant’s normal retirement benefit from the plan is equal to A. 3% of Final Average Earnings times Projected Service up to 10 years of service, plus B. 1% of Final Average Earnings times Projected Service in excess of 10 years of service, minus C. .43% of Final Average Earnings up to Social Security covered compensation multiplied by Projected Service up to 35 years of service the result of which is multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is actual service as of date of termination, and the denominator of which is the participant’s Projected Service. Projected Service is the service that the participant would have earned if he had remained employed with the Company until his normal retirement age (generally age 65). If a participant leaves employment after becoming eligible for early or normal retirement, benefits are calculated using the formula above except that actual service attained at the participant’s retirement date is used in place of Projected Service. Final Average Earnings A participant’s final average earnings is determined based on his highest five consecutive years of pensionable earnings. Pensionable earnings is the sum of the participant’s base pay and annual incentive compensation from the Company, including amounts under the Yum Leaders’ Bonus Program. In general, base pay includes salary, vacation pay, sick pay and short term disability payments. Extraordinary bonuses and lump sum payments made in connection with a participant’s termination of employment are not included. Vesting A participant receives a year of vesting service for each year of employment with the Company. A participant is 0% vested until he has been credited with at least five years of vesting service. Upon attaining five years of vesting service, a participant becomes 100% vested. All NEOs eligible for the Retirement Plan or YIRP are 100% vested. 51 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementExEcutivE compEnsation Normal Retirement Eligibility A participant is eligible for normal retirement following the later of age 65 or 5 years of vesting service. Early Retirement Eligibility and Reductions A participant is eligible for early retirement upon reaching age 55 with 10 years of vesting service. A participant who has met the requirements for early retirement and who elects to begin receiving payments from the plan prior to age 62 will receive a reduction of 1/12 of 4% for each month benefits begin before age 62. Benefits are unreduced at age 62. The table below shows when each of the NEOs became eligible for early retirement and the estimated lump sum value of the benefit each participant would receive from YUM plans (both qualified and non-qualified) if he retired from the Company on December 31, 2013 and received a lump sum payment.

Su Greg Creed (1) The Retirement Plan (2) The YIRP Earliest Retirement Date November 1, 2007 May 1, 2007 August 1, 2012 Estimated Lump Sum from a Qualified Plan(1) 1,433,263 — 166,010 Estimated Lump Sum from a Non- Qualified Plan(2) — 18,691,094 — Total Estimated Lump Sum 1,433,263 18,691,094 166,010 The estimated lump sum values in the table above are calculated assuming no increase in the participant’s Final Average Earnings. The lump sums are estimated using the mortality table and interest rate assumptions in the Retirement Plan. Actual lump sums may be higher or lower depending on the mortality table and interest rate in effect at the time of distribution and the participant’s Final Average Earnings at his date of retirement. Lump Sum Availability Lump sum payments are available to participants who meet the requirements for early or normal retirement. Participants who leave the Company prior to meeting the requirements for Early or Normal Retirement must take their benefits in the form of a monthly annuity and no lump sum is available. When a lump sum is paid from the plan, it is calculated based on actuarial assumptions for lump sums required by Internal Revenue Code Section 417(e)(3). (2) Yum! Brands, inc. pension Equalization plan The PEP is an unfunded, non-qualified plan that complements the Retirement Plan by providing benefits that federal tax law bars providing under the Retirement Plan. Benefits are generally determined and payable under the same terms and conditions as the Retirement Plan (except as noted below) without regard to federal tax limitations on amounts of includible compensation and maximum benefits. Benefits paid are reduced by the value of benefits payable under the Retirement Plan. Participants who earned at least $75,000 during calendar year 1989 are eligible to receive benefits calculated under the Retirement Plan’s pre-1989 formula, if this calculation results in a larger benefit from the PEP. This formula is similar to the formula described above under the Retirement Plan except that part C of the formula is calculated as follows: C. 12/3% of an estimated primary Social Security amount multiplied by Projected Service up to 30 years Retirement distributions are always paid in the form of a lump sum. In the case of a participant whose benefits are 52 payable based on the pre-1989 formula, the lump sum value is calculated as the actuarial equivalent to the participant’s 50% Joint and Survivor Annuity with no reduction for survivor coverage. In all other cases, lump sums are calculated as the actuarial equivalent of the participant’s life only annuity. Participants who terminate employment prior to meeting eligibility for early or normal retirement must take their benefits from this plan in the form of a monthly annuity. (3) Yum! Brands international Retirement plan The YIRP is an unfunded, non-qualified defined benefit plan that covers certain international employees who are designated by the Company as third country nationals. Mr. Su is eligible for benefits under this plan. The YIRP provides a retirement benefit similar to the Retirement Plan except that part C of the formula is calculated as the sum of: a) Company financed State benefits or Social Security benefits if paid periodically b) The actuarial equivalent of all State paid or mandated lump sum benefits financed by the Company c) Any other Company financed benefits that are attributable to periods of pensionable service and that are derived from a plan maintained or contributed to by the Company or one or more of the group of corporations that is controlled by the Company. Benefits are payable under the same terms and conditions as the Retirement Plan without regard to Internal Revenue Service limitations on amounts of includible compensation and maximum benefits. YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementExEcutivE compEnsation (4) present value of accumulated Benefits For all plans, the Present Value of Accumulated Benefits (determined as of December 31, 2013) is calculated assuming that each participant is eligible to receive an unreduced benefit payable in the form of a single lump sum at age 62. This is consistent with the methodologies used in financial accounting calculations. In addition, the economic assumptions for the lump sum interest rate, post retirement mortality, and discount rate are also consistent with those used in financial accounting calculations at each measurement date. nonqualified Deferred compensation Amounts reflected in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table below are provided for under the Company’s Executive Income Deferral (“EID”) Program, Leadership Retirement Plan (“LRP”) and Third Country National Plan (“TCN”). These plans are unfunded, unsecured deferred, account-based compensation plans. For each calendar year, participants are permitted under the EID Program to defer up to 85% of their base pay and up to 100% of their annual incentive award. As discussed beginning at page 40, Messrs. Novak, Grismer and Pant are eligible to participate in the LRP. The LRP provides an annual allocation to the accounts of Messrs. Novak and Grismer equal to 9.5% of each of his salary plus target bonus and to Mr. Pant’s account equal to 20% of his salary plus target bonus. As discussed beginning at page 40, Mr. Creed is eligible to participate in the TCN. The TCN provides for an annual allocation to Mr. Creed’s account equal to 15% of his salary plus target bonus. EiD program Deferred Investments under the EID Program. Amounts deferred under the EID Program may be invested in the following phantom investment alternatives (12 month investment returns are shown in parentheses): •• YUM! Stock Fund (16.26%*) •• YUM! Matching Stock Fund (16.26%*) •• S&P 500 Index Fund (32.32%) •• Bond Market Index Fund (-2.12%) •• Stable Value Fund (1.58%) All of the phantom investment alternatives offered under the EID Program are designed to match the performance of actual investments; that is, they provide market rate returns and do not provide for preferential earnings. The S&P 500 index fund, bond market index fund and stable value fund are designed to track the investment return of like-named funds offered under the Company’s 401(k) Plan. The YUM! Stock Fund and YUM! Matching Stock Fund track the investment return of the Company’s common stock. Participants may transfer funds between the investment alternatives on a quarterly basis except (1) funds invested in the YUM! Stock Fund or YUM! Matching Stock Fund may not be transferred once invested * Assumes dividends are not reinvested. in these funds and (2) a participant may only elect to invest into the YUM! Matching Stock Fund at the time the annual incentive deferral election is made. In the case of the Matching Stock Fund, participants who defer their annual incentive into this fund acquire additional phantom shares (called restricted stock units (“RSUs”)) equal to 33% of the RSUs received with respect to the deferral of their annual incentive into the YUM! Matching Stock Fund (the additional RSUs are referred to as “matching contributions”). The RSUs attributable to the matching contributions are allocated on the same day the RSUs attributable to the annual incentive are allocated, which is the same day we make our annual stock appreciation right grants. Amounts attributable to the matching contribution under the YUM! Matching Stock Fund are reflected in column (c) below as contributions by the Company (and represent amounts actually credited to the NEO’s account during 2013). Beginning with their 2009 annual incentive award, NEOs are no longer eligible to participate in the Matching Stock Fund. RSUs attributable to annual incentive deferrals into the YUM! Matching Stock Fund and matching contributions vest on the second anniversary of the grant (or upon a change of control of the Company, if earlier) and are payable as shares of YUM common stock pursuant to the participant’s deferral election. Unvested RSUs held in a participant’s YUM! Matching Stock Fund account are forfeited if the participant voluntarily terminates employment with the Company within two years of the deferral date. If a participant terminates employment involuntarily, the portion of the account attributable to the matching contributions is forfeited and the participant will receive an amount equal to the amount of the original amount deferred. If a participant dies or becomes disabled during the restricted period, the participant fully vests in the RSUs. Dividend equivalents are accrued during the restricted period but are only paid if the RSUs vest. RSUs held by a participant who has attained age 65 with five years of service vest immediately. In the case of a participant who has attained age 55 with 10 years of service, RSUs attributable to pre-2009 bonus deferrals into the YUM! Matching Stock Fund vest immediately and RSUs attributable to the matching contribution vest on a pro rata basis during the period beginning on the date of grant and ending on the first anniversary of the grant and are fully vested on the first anniversary. 53 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementExEcutivE compEnsation Distributions under EID Program. When participants elect to defer amounts into the EID Program, they also select when the amounts ultimately will be distributed to them. Distributions may either be made in a specific year—whether or not employment has then ended—or at a time that begins at or after the executive’s retirement, separation or termination of employment. Distributions can be made in a lump sum or up to 20 annual installments. Initial deferrals are subject to a minimum two year deferral. In general, with respect to amounts deferred after 2005 or not fully vested as of January 1, 2005, participants may change their distribution schedule, provided the new elections satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, Section 409A requires that: •• Distribution schedules cannot be accelerated (other than for a hardship) •• To delay a previously scheduled distribution, •–A participant must make an election at least one year before the distribution otherwise would be made, and •–The new distribution cannot begin earlier than five years after it would have begun without the election to re-defer. With respect to amounts deferred prior to 2005, to delay a distribution the new distribution cannot begin until two years after it would have begun without the election to re-defer. Investments in the YUM! Stock Fund and YUM! Matching Stock Fund are only distributed in shares of Company stock. LRp LRP Account Returns. The LRP provides an annual earnings credit to each participant’s account based on the value of participant’s account at the end of each year. Under the LRP, Mr. Novak receives an annual earnings credit equal to 120% of the applicable federal interest rate. Mr. Grismer and Mr. Pant each receive an annual earnings credit equal to 5%. The Company’s contribution (“Employer Credit”) for 2013 is equal to 9.5% of salary plus target bonus for Mr. Novak and Mr. Grismer and 20% for Mr. Pant. Distributions under LRP. Under the LRP, participants age 55 or older with a balance of $15,000 or more, are entitled to a lump sum distribution of their account balance in the quarter following their separation of employment. Participants under age 55 who separate from the Company will receive interest annually and their account balance will be distributed in the quarter following their 55th birthday. The benefit is monitored each quarter to determine if any distribution provisions apply. tcn TCN Account Returns. The TCN provides an annual earnings credit to each to each participant’s account based on the value of participant’s account at the end of each year. Under the TCN, Mr. Creed receives an annual earnings credit equal to 5%. For Mr. Creed, the Employer Credit for 2013 is equal to 15% of his salary plus target bonus. Distributions under TCN.

These benefits are in addition to benefits available generally to salaried employees, such as distributions under the Company’s 401(k) Plan, retiree medical benefits, disability benefits and accrued vacation pay. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any benefits provided upon the events discussed below, any actual amounts paid or distributed may be different. Factors that could affect these amounts include the timing during the year of any such event, the Company’s stock price and the executive’s age. Stock Options and SAR Awards. If one or more NEOs terminated employment for any reason other than retirement, death, disability or following a change in control as of December 31, 2013, they could exercise the stock options and SARs that were exercisable on that date as shown at the Outstanding Equity Awards at Year-End table on page 48, otherwise all options and SARs, pursuant to their terms, would have been forfeited and cancelled after that date. If the NEO had retired, died or become disabled as of December 31, 2013, exercisable stock options and SARs would remain exercisable through the term of the award. Except in the case of a change in control, no stock options or SARs become exercisable on an accelerated basis. Benefits a NEO may receive on a change of control are discussed below. Deferred Compensation. As described in more detail beginning at page 53, the Named Executive Officers participate in the EID Program, which permits the deferral of salary and annual incentive compensation. The last column of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table on page 55 includes each NEO’s aggregate balance at December 31, 2013. The NEOs are entitled to receive their vested amount under the EID Program in case of voluntary termination of employment. In the case of involuntary termination of employment, they are entitled to receive their vested benefit and the amount of the unvested benefit that corresponds to their deferral. In the case of death, disability or retirement after age 65, they or their beneficiaries are entitled to their entire account balance as shown in the last column of the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table on page 55. $7,288,324. If Mr. Grismer had left voluntarily, he would have received no payout since this deferral was subject to vesting provisions which lapse in February 2014. As discussed at page 55, these amounts reflect bonuses previously deferred by the executive and appreciation on these deferred amounts (see page 53 for discussion of investment alternatives available under the EID). In Mr. Novak’s case, over 80% of his balance is invested in Company RSUs, which he will receive in the form of Company stock following his retirement. The other NEOs’ EID balances are invested primarily in RSUs. Thus, Mr. Novak and the other NEOs’ EID account balances represent deferred bonuses (earned in prior years) and appreciation of their accounts based primarily on the performance of the Company’s stock. Leadership Retirement Plan. Under the LRP, participants age 55 are entitled to a lump sum distribution of their account balance following their termination of employment. Participants under age 55 who terminate with more than five years of service will receive their account balance at their 55th birthday. In case of termination of employment as of December 31, 2013, Mr. Novak would have received $29,043,612. Mr. Grismer would receive $615,165 when he attains age 55 and Mr. Pant would have received $1,914,320. Third Country National Plan. Under the TCN, participants age 55 or older are entitled to a lump sum distribution of their account balance in the quarter following their termination of employment. Participants under age 55 who terminate will receive interest annually and their account balance will be distributed in the quarter following their 55th birthday. In case of termination of employment as of December 31, 2013, Mr. Creed would have received $978,179. Performance Share Unit Awards. If one or more NEOs terminated employment for any reason other than retirement or death or following a change in control and prior to achievement of the performance criteria and vesting period, then the award would be cancelled and forfeited. If the NEO had retired, or died as of December 31, 2013, the PSU award would be paid out based on actual performance for the performance period, subject to a pro rata reduction reflecting the portion of the performance period not worked by the NEO. If any of these terminations had occurred on December 31, 2013, Messrs. Novak, Grismer, Su, Creed and Pant would have been entitled to $1,407,154, $56,910, $481,902, $295,614 and $303,686, respectively, assuming target performance. In the case of an involuntary termination of employment as of December 31, 2013, each NEO would receive the following: Mr. Novak $202,182,864; Mr. Grismer $1,201,850; Mr. Su $8,516,801; Mr. Creed $7,163,701; and Mr. Pant Pension Benefits.

Life Insurance Benefits. For a description of the supplemental life insurance plans that provide coverage to the NEOs, see the All Other Compensation Table on page 46. If the NEOs had died on December 31, 2013, the survivors of Messrs. Novak, Grismer, Su, Creed and Pant would have received Company-paid life insurance of $3,360,000; $1,300,000; $2,365,000; $1,500,000; and $1,500,000, respectively, under this arrangement. Executives and all other salaried employees can purchase additional life insurance benefits up to a maximum combined company paid and additional life insurance of $3.5 million. This additional benefit is not paid or subsidized by the Company and, therefore, is not shown here. Change in Control. Change in control severance agreements are in effect between YUM and certain key executives (including Messrs. Novak, Grismer, Su, Creed and Pant). These agreements are general obligations of YUM, and provide, generally, that if, within two years subsequent to a change in control of YUM, the employment of the executive is terminated (other than for cause, or for other limited reasons specified in the change in control severance agreements) or the executive terminates employment for Good Reason (defined in the change in control severance agreements to include a diminution of duties and responsibilities or benefits), the executive will be entitled to receive the following: •• a proportionate annual incentive assuming achievement of target performance goals under the bonus plan or, if higher, assuming continued achievement of actual Company performance until date of termination, •• a severance payment equal to two times the sum of the executive’s base salary and the target bonus or, if higher, the actual bonus for the year preceding the change in control of the Company, and •• outplacement services for up to one year following termination. In March 2013, the Company eliminated excise tax gross- ups and implemented a best net after-tax method. See the Company’s CD&A on page 42 for more detail. The change in control severance agreements have a three-year term and are automatically renewable each January 1 for another three-year term. An executive whose employment is not terminated within two years of a change in control will not be entitled to receive any severance payments under the change in control severance agreements. ExEcutivE compEnsation Generally, pursuant to the agreements, a change in control is deemed to occur: (i) if any person acquires 20% or more of the Company’s voting securities (other than securities acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates); (ii) if a majority of the Directors as of the date of the agreement are replaced other than in specific circumstances; or (iii) upon the consummation of a merger of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company other than (a) a merger where the Company’s Directors immediately before the change in control constitute a majority of the directors of the resulting organization, or (b) a merger effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company in which no person is or becomes the beneficial owner of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding securities. In addition to the payments described above, upon a change in control: •• All stock options and SARs held by the executive will automatically vest and become exercisable, except that for all stock options and SARs granted beginning in 2013, outstanding awards will fully and immediately vest following a change in control if the executive is employed on the date of the change in control of the Company and is involuntarily terminated (other than by the Company for cause) on or within two years following the change in control. See Company’s CD&A on page 42 for more detail. •• All RSUs under the Company’s EID Program held by the executive will automatically vest. •• All PSU awards under the Company’s Performance Share Plan awarded in the year in which the change in control occurs will be paid out at target assuming a target level performance had been achieved for the entire performance period, subject to a pro rata reduction to reflect the portion of the performance period after the change in control. All PSUs awarded for performance periods that begin before the year in which the change in control occurs will be paid out assuming performance achieved for the performance period was at the greater of target level performance or projected level of performance at the time of the change in control, subject to pro rata reduction to reflect the portion of the performance period after the change in control, except that for PSU awards granted beginning in 2013, executives must be employed with the Company on the date of the change in control and involuntarily terminated upon or following the change in control and during the performance period.

The Company uses a combination of cash and stock- based incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board. In setting director compensation, the Company considers the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company as well as the skill level required by the Company of members of the Board. Employee Directors. Employee directors do not receive additional compensation for serving on the Board of Directors. Non-Employee Directors Annual Compensation. Each director who is not an employee of YUM receives an annual stock grant retainer with a fair market value of $170,000 and an annual grant of vested SARs with respect to $150,000 worth of YUM common stock (“face value”) with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Company stock on the date of grant. Directors may request to receive up to one-half of their stock retainer in cash. The request must be submitted to the Chair of the Management Planning and Development Committee. For 2013, Bonnie Hill requested and received approval by the Committee Chair for a cash payment equal to one-half of her stock retainer. Directors may also defer payment of their retainers pursuant to the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. Deferrals are invested in phantom Company stock and paid out in shares of Company stock. Deferrals may not be made for less than two years. In recognition of their added duties, the Lead Director of the Board (Mr. Ryan in 2013) receives an additional $25,000 stock retainer annually, the Chair of the Audit Committee (Mr. Nelson in 2013) receives an 59 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementEQuitY compEnsation pLan inFoRmation additional $20,000 stock retainer annually and the Chair of the Management Planning and Development Committee (Mr. Walter in 2013) receives an additional $15,000 stock retainer annually. Initial Stock Grant upon Joining Board. Non-employee directors also receive a one-time stock grant with a fair market value of $25,000 on the date of grant upon joining the Board, distribution of which is deferred until termination from the Board. Stock Ownership Requirements. Similar to executive officers, directors are subject to share ownership requirements. The directors’ requirements provide that directors will not sell any of the Company’s common stock received as compensation for service on the Board until the director has ceased being a member of the Board for one year (sales are permitted to cover income taxes attributable to any stock retainer payment or exercise of a stock option or SAR). Matching Gifts. To further YUM’s support for charities, non-employee directors are able to participate in the YUM! Brands, Inc. Matching Gifts Program on the same terms as YUM’s employees. Under this program, the YUM! Brands Foundation will match up to $10,000 a year in contributions by the director to a charitable institution approved by the YUM! Brands Foundation. At its discretion, the Foundation may match director contributions exceeding $10,000. Mr. Nelson made a contribution in 2012 that was not matched until January 2013 and a contribution in 2013 that was matched in that year for a total of $20,000 of matched contributions. Insurance. We also pay the premiums on directors’ and officers’ liability and business travel accident insurance policies. The annual cost of this coverage was approximately $2 million. This is not included in the tables above as it is not considered compensation to the directors.

Only our employees and directors are eligible to receive awards under the 1999 Plan.

The exercise price of a stock option grant or SAR under the 1999 Plan may not be less than the average market price of our stock on the date of grant for years prior to 2008 or the closing price of our stock on the date of the grant beginning in 2008, and no options or SARs may have a term of more than ten years. The options and SARs that are currently outstanding under the 1999 Plan generally vest over a one to four year period and expire ten years from the date of the grant. Our shareholders approved the 1999 Plan in May 1999, and the plan as amended in 2003 and again in 2008. The performance measures of the 1999 Plan were re-approved by our shareholders in May 2013. What are the key features of the 1997 plan? The 1997 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 90,000,000 shares of stock. Effective January 1, 2002, only restricted shares could be issued under this plan.

What are the key features of the RGm plan? The RGM Plan provides for the issuance of up to 30,000,000 shares of common stock at a price equal to or greater than the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. The RGM Plan allows us to award non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted stock and RSUs. Employees, other than executive officers, are eligible to receive awards under the RGM Plan. The purpose of the RGM Plan is (i) to give restaurant general managers (“RGMs”) the opportunity to become owners of stock, (ii) to align the interests of RGMs with those of YUM’s other shareholders, (iii) to emphasize that the RGM is YUM’s #1 leader, and (iv) to reward the performance of RGMs. In addition, the Plan provides incentives to Area Coaches, Franchise Business Leaders and other supervisory field operation positions that support RGMs and have profit and loss responsibilities within a defined region or area. While all non-executive officer employees are eligible to receive awards under the RGM plan, all awards granted have been to RGMs or their direct supervisors in the field.

The Board has also determined that Mr. Nelson has accounting and related financial management expertise within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE and that each member is financially literate within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards. What document governs the activities of the audit committee? The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The Committee’s responsibilities are set forth in this charter, which was amended and restated effective November 22, 2013. The charter is reviewed by management at least annually, and any recommended changes are presented to the Audit Committee for review and approval. The charter is available on our Web site at www.yum.com/investors/governance/ charters.asp. What are the responsibilities of the audit committee? The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for general oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the adequacy of the Company’s system of internal controls and procedures and disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s risk management, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditors. The Committee has sole authority over the selection of the Company’s independent auditors and manages the Company’s relationship with its independent auditors (who report directly to the Committee). The Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from outside legal, accounting or other advisors as the Committee deems necessary to carry out its duties and receive appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, from the Company for such advice and assistance. The Committee met 9 times during 2013. The Committee schedules its meetings with a view to ensuring that it devotes appropriate attention to all of its tasks. The Committee’s meetings generally include private sessions with the Company’s independent auditors and with the Company’s internal auditors, in each case without the presence of the Company’s management, as well as executive sessions consisting of only Committee members. In addition to the scheduled meetings, senior management confers with the Committee or its Chair from time to time, as senior management deems advisable or appropriate, in connection with issues or concerns that arise throughout the year. Management is responsible for the Company’s financial reporting process, including its system of internal control over financial reporting, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The Company’s independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements in accordance with professional standards and expressing an opinion as to their material conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and for auditing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and review the Company’s financial reporting process and discuss management’s report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. It is not the Committee’s duty or responsibility to conduct audits or accounting reviews or procedures. The Committee has relied, without independent verification, on management’s representations that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles 62 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementauDit committEE REpoRt generally accepted in the U.S. and that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

What matters have members of the audit committee discussed with management and the independent auditors? As part of its oversight of the Company’s financial statements, the Committee reviews and discusses with both management and the Company’s independent auditors all annual and quarterly financial statements prior to their issuance. During 2013, management advised the Committee that each set of financial statements reviewed had been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., and reviewed significant accounting and disclosure issues with the Committee. These reviews included discussions with the independent auditors of matters required to be discussed pursuant to Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 16 (Communication with Audit Committees), including the quality (not merely the acceptability) of the Company’s accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements and disclosures related to critical accounting practices. The Committee has also discussed with KPMG LLP matters relating to its independence, including a review of audit and non-audit fees and the written disclosures and letter received from KPMG LLP required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG LLP’s communications with the Committee concerning independence. The Committee also considered whether non-audit services provided by the independent auditors are compatible with the independent auditors’ independence. The Committee also received regular updates, and written summaries as required by the PCAOB rules (for tax and other services), on the amount of fees and scope of audit, audit-related, tax and other services provided. In addition, the Committee reviewed key initiatives and programs aimed at strengthening the effectiveness of the Company’s internal and disclosure control structure. As part of this process, the Committee continued to monitor the scope and adequacy of the Company’s internal auditing program, reviewing staffing levels and steps taken to implement recommended improvements in internal procedures and controls. The Committee also reviews and discusses legal and compliance matters with management, and, as necessary or advisable, the Company’s independent auditors. Has the audit committee made a recommendation regarding the audited financial statements for fiscal 2013? Based on the Committee’s discussions with management and the independent auditors and the Committee’s review of the representations of management and the report of the independent auditors to the Board of Directors, and subject to the limitations on the Committee’s role and responsibilities referred to above and in the Audit Committee Charter, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that it include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 for filing with the SEC.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event will a Participant become eligible for payment for an Award for any calendar year in excess of $10,000,000. (d) No segregation of any moneys or the creation of any trust or the making of any special deposit shall be required in connection with any Awards made or to be made under the Plan. 2.3 Payment of Awards. Subject to Sections 2.5 and 3, the amount earned with respect to any Award shall be paid in cash at such time as is determined by the Committee; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided by the Committee, such payment shall be made no later than the fifteenth day of the third month of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable Performance Period ends. If a Participant to whom an Award has been made dies prior to the payment of the Award, such payment shall be delivered to the Participant’s legal representative or to such other person or persons as shall be determined by the Committee. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all amounts payable under the Plan any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect thereto; provided, however, that to the extent provided by the Committee, any payment under the Plan may be deferred and to the extent deferred, may be credited with an interest or earnings factor as determined by the Committee. 2.4 Return of Overpayments. If the amount paid with respect to an Award granted after December 31, 2008 is based on the attainment of a level of objective performance goals that is later determined to have been inaccurate, such inaccuracy was caused by misconduct by an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, and as a result the amount paid with respect to the Award is greater than it should have been, then: (1) The Participant (regardless of whether then employed) whose misconduct caused the inaccuracy will be required to repay the excess. (2) The Committee administering the Plan may require an active or former Participant (regardless of whether then employed) to repay the excess previously received by that Participant if the Committee concludes that the repayment is necessary to prevent the Participant from unfairly benefiting from the inaccuracy. However, repayment under this paragraph (2) shall apply to an active or former Participant only if the Committee reasonably determines that, prior to the time the amount was paid (or, if payment of the amount is electively deferred by the Participant, at the time the amount would have been paid in the absence of the deferral), such Participant knew or should have known that the amount was greater than it should have been by reason of the inaccuracy. Further, the amount to be repaid by the Participant may not be greater than the excess of (i) the amount paid to the Participant over (ii) the amount that would have been paid to a Participant in the absence of the inaccuracy, provided that, in determining the amount under this clause (ii), the Committee may take into account only the inaccuracy of which the Participant knew or should have known, and which the Participant knew or should have known was caused by misconduct. Instead of (or in addition to) requiring repayment, the Committee may adjust a Participant’s future compensation and the Company and/or Subsidiary shall be entitled to set- off against the amount of any such gain any amount owed to the Participant by the Company and/or Subsidiary. For this purpose, the term “misconduct” means fraudulent or illegal conduct or omission that is knowing or intentional. However, the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4 shall not apply to any reductions in Awards made after a Change in Control (as defined in the Yum! Brands, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan) to the extent that Awards were granted before a Change in Control. A-2 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2014 Proxy StatementProxy StatementAPPenDix 2.5 Termination of employment. Except to the extent otherwise provided by the Committee, if a Participant’s Date of Termination with respect to any Award occurs prior to the last day of the Performance Period for the Award, then, except in the case of death, disability or normal retirement (determined in accordance with the qualified retirement plans of the Company) or except as provided in Section 3, the Participant shall forfeit the Award. Except to the extent otherwise provided by the Committee, if a Participant’s Date of Termination due to the death or disability occurs prior to the last day of the Performance Period for the Award, then the amount earned with respect to any such Award for the applicable Performance Period shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and shall be paid in cash as soon as administratively possible following such Date of Termination; provided, however, that such payment shall be made no later than the fifteenth day of the third month of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs. Except to the extent otherwise provided by the Committee, if a Participant’s Date of Termination due to the retirement of the Participant occurs prior to the last day of the Performance Period for the Award, then the amount earned with respect to any such Award for the applicable Performance Period shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.2 and paid out at the time specified in Section 2.3. Section 3 Change in Control Benefits on Change in Control Except to the extent otherwise provided by the Committee, within ten (10) business days following the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Yum!

Long Term Incentive Plan), each individual who has been granted an Award pursuant to the Plan shall be paid an amount equal to (I) to the greater of (A) the Participant’s target award for the period in which the Change in Control occurs and (B) the award the Participant would have earned for such period, assuming continued achievement of the relevant performance goals at the rate achieved as of the date of the Change in Control, multiplied by (II) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period which have elapsed as of the Change in Control, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period. Any former Participant in the Plan who was granted an Award pursuant to the Plan for the period in which the Change in Control occurs and whose employment with the Company was involuntarily terminated (other than for cause) during a Potential Change in Control (as defined in the Yum! Brands, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan) and within one year preceding the occurrence of a Change in Control shall likewise be paid the amount of such annual incentive award as if Yum had fully achieved the applicable performance target(s) for the Performance Period in which the Change in Control occurs paid within ten (10) business days following the occurrence of the applicable Change in Control.

Any payment to which a Participant may be entitled under the Plan shall be free from the control or interference of any creditor of such Participant and shall not be subject to attachment or susceptible of anticipation or alienation.

(referred to herein as “YUM”, the “Registrant” or the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the state of North Carolina in 1997. The principal executive offices of YUM are located at 1441 Gardiner Lane, Louisville, Kentucky 40213, and the telephone number at that location is (502) 874-8300. Our website address is http://yum.com. YUM, together with its subsidiaries, is referred to in this Form 10-K annual report (“Form 10-K”) as the Company. The terms “we,” “us” and “our” are also used in the Form 10-K to refer to the Company. Throughout this Form 10-K, the terms “restaurants,” “stores” and “units” are used interchangeably. While YUM! Brands, Inc., referred to as the Company, does not directly own or operate any restaurants, throughout this document we may refer to restaurants as being Company-owned. Financial Information about Operating Segments As of and through December 28, 2013, YUM consisted of six operating segments: YUM Restaurants China (“China” or “China Division”), YUM Restaurants International (“YRI” or “International Division”), Taco Bell U.S., KFC U.S., Pizza Hut U.S. and YUM Restaurants India (“India” or “India Division”). The China Division includes mainland China, and the India Division includes India, Bangladesh, Mauritius, Nepal and Sri Lanka. YRI includes the remainder of our international operations. For financial reporting purposes, management considers the three U.S. operating segments to be similar and, therefore, has aggregated them into a single reportable operating segment (“U.S.”). In 2012, our India Division began being reported as a standalone reporting segment separate from YRI as a result of changes to our management reporting structure. While our consolidated results are not impacted, our historical segment information has been restated to be consistent with the current period presentation. In December 2011, the Company sold the Long John Silver’s (“LJS”) and A&W All-American Food Restaurants (“A&W”) brands to key franchisee leaders and strategic investors in separate transactions. Financial information prior to these transactions reflects our ownership of these brands. Operating segment information for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 for the Company is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) in Part II, Item 7, pages 15 through 35 and in the related Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8, pages 36 through 71. In the first quarter of 2014, we will combine our YRI and U.S. businesses and begin reporting segment information for three global divisions: KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. China and India will remain separate reporting segments due to their strategic importance and growth potential. This new structure is designed to drive greater global brand focus, enabling us to more effectively share know-how and accelerate growth. While our consolidated results will not be impacted, we will restate our historical segment information during 2014 for consistent presentation. Narrative Description of Business General YUM has over 40,000 restaurants in more than 125 countries and territories. Primarily through the three concepts of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (the “Concepts”), the Company develops, operates, franchises and licenses a worldwide system of restaurants which prepare, package and sell a menu of competitively priced food items. Units are operated by a Concept or by independent franchisees or licensees under the terms of franchise or license agreements. Franchisees can range in size from individuals owning just one restaurant to large publicly traded companies. The China Division, based in Shanghai, China, comprises approximately 6,200 system restaurants, primarily Company-owned KFCs and Pizza Huts. In 2013, the China Division recorded revenues of approximately $6.9 billion and Operating Profit of $777 million. On February 1, 2012, we acquired a controlling interest in Little Sheep Group Limited (“Little Sheep”), a casual dining concept headquartered in Inner Mongolia, China. See Note 4 for details. The Company also owns non-controlling interests in Chinese entities who operate in a manner similar to KFC franchisees and a meat processing entity that supplies lamb primarily to our recently acquired Little Sheep business. YRI, based in Plano, Texas, comprises approximately 15,200 system restaurants, primarily franchised KFCs and Pizza Huts, operating in over 120 countries outside the U.S., China and India. In 2013 YRI recorded revenues of approximately $3.1 billion and Operating Profit of $760 million. We have approximately 18,100 system restaurants, primarily franchised restaurants, in the U.S. and recorded revenues of approximately $3.0 billion and Operating Profit of $684 million in 2013. The India Division, based in Delhi, India comprises approximately 700 system restaurants. In 2013, India recorded revenues of approximately $125 million and an Operating Loss of $15 million. 3 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart I Item 1 Business restaurant Concepts taco Bell Most restaurants in each Concept offer consumers the ability to dine in and/or carry out food. In addition, Taco Bell and KFC offer a drive-thru option in many stores. Pizza Hut offers a drive-thru option on a much more limited basis. Pizza Hut and KFC, on a more limited basis primarily in China, offer delivery service. Each Concept has proprietary menu items and emphasizes the preparation of food with high quality ingredients, as well as unique recipes and special seasonings to provide appealing, tasty, convenient and attractive food at competitive prices. The franchise programs of the Company are designed to promote consistency and quality, and the Company is selective in granting franchises. Under standard franchise agreements, franchisees supply capital – initially by paying a franchise fee to YUM, purchasing or leasing the land, building, equipment, signs, seating, inventories and supplies and, over the longer term, by reinvesting in the business. Franchisees contribute to the Company’s revenues on an ongoing basis through the payment of royalties based on a percentage of sales. The Company believes that it is important to maintain strong and open relationships with its franchisees and their representatives. To this end, the Company invests a significant amount of time working with the franchisee community and their representative organizations on key aspects of the business, including products, equipment, operational improvements and standards and management techniques. Following is a brief description of each Concept: KFC •• KFC was founded in Corbin, Kentucky by Colonel Harland D. Sanders, an early developer of the quick service food business and a pioneer of the restaurant franchise concept. The Colonel perfected his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices for Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1939 and signed up his first franchisee in 1952. •• KFC operates in 118 countries and territories throughout the world. As of year end 2013, KFC had 4,563 units in China, 9,460 units in YRI, 4,491 units in the U.S. and 361 units in India. Approximately 78 percent of the China units, 11 percent of the YRI units, 5 percent of the U.S. units and 47 percent of the India units are Company-owned. •• KFC restaurants across the world offer fried and non-fried chicken products such as sandwiches, chicken strips, chicken-on-the-bone and other chicken products marketed under a variety of names. KFC restaurants also offer a variety of entrees and side items suited to local preferences and tastes. Restaurant decor throughout the world is characterized by the image of the Colonel. Pizza Hut •• The first Pizza Hut restaurant was opened in 1958 in Wichita, Kansas, and within a year, the first franchise unit was opened. Today, Pizza Hut is the largest restaurant chain in the world specializing in the sale of ready-to-eat pizza products. •• Pizza Hut operates in 91 countries and territories throughout the world. As of year end 2013, Pizza Hut had 1,264 units in China, 5,490 units in YRI, 7,846 units in the U.S. and 367 units in India. Nearly 100 percent of the China units and approximately 4 percent of the YRI units, 6 percent of the U.S. units and 5 percent of the India units are Company-owned. •• Pizza Hut operates in the delivery, carryout and casual dining segments around the world. Outside of the U.S., Pizza Hut often uses unique branding to differentiate these segments. •• Pizza Hut features a variety of pizzas which are marketed under varying names. Each of these pizzas is offered with a variety of different toppings suited to local preferences and tastes. Many Pizza Huts also offer pasta and chicken wings, including over 4,800 stores offering wings under the brand WingStreet, primarily in the U.S. Outside the U.S., Pizza Hut casual dining restaurants offer a variety of core menu products other than pizza, which are typically suited to local preferences and tastes. Pizza Hut units feature a distinctive red roof logo on their signage. •• The first Taco Bell restaurant was opened in 1962 by Glen Bell in Downey, California, and in 1964, the first Taco Bell franchise was sold. •• Taco Bell operates in 21 countries and territories throughout the world. As of year end 2013, there were 5,769 Taco Bell units in the U.S., 279 units in YRI and 5 units in India. Approximately 15 percent of the U.S. units, none of the YRI units and 100 percent of the India units are Company-owned. •• Taco Bell specializes in Mexican-style food products, including various types of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, salads, nachos and other related items. Taco Bell units feature a distinctive bell logo on their signage. restaurant Operations Through its Concepts, YUM develops, operates, franchises and licenses a worldwide system of both traditional and non-traditional Quick Service Restaurants (“QSR”). Traditional units feature dine-in, carryout and, in some instances, drive-thru or delivery services. Non-traditional units, which are typically licensed outlets, include express units and kiosks which have a more limited menu, usually lower sales volumes and operate in non-traditional locations like malls, airports, gasoline service stations, train stations, subways, convenience stores, stadiums, amusement parks and colleges, where a full-scale traditional outlet would not be practical or efficient. Restaurant management structure varies by Concept and unit size. Generally, each Concept-owned restaurant is led by a restaurant general manager (“RGM”), together with one or more assistant managers, depending on the operating complexity and sales volume of the restaurant. Most of the employees work on a part-time basis. Each Concept issues detailed manuals, which may then be customized to meet local regulations and customs. These manuals set forth standards and requirements for all aspects of restaurant operations, including food safety and quality, food handling and product preparation procedures, equipment maintenance, facility standards and accounting control procedures. The restaurant management teams are responsible for the day-to-day operation of each unit and for ensuring compliance with operating standards. CHAMPS – which stands for Cleanliness, Hospitality, Accuracy, Maintenance, Product Quality and Speed of Service – is our proprietary systemwide program for training, measuring and rewarding employee performance against key customer measures. CHAMPS is intended to align the operating processes of our entire system around one core set of standards. RGMs’ efforts, including CHAMPS performance measures, are monitored by Area Coaches. Area Coaches typically work with approximately six to twelve restaurants. Various senior operators visit Concept-owned restaurants from time to time to promote adherence to system standards and mentor restaurant team members. Supply and Distribution The Company’s Concepts, including Concept units operated by its franchisees, are substantial purchasers of a number of food and paper products, equipment and other restaurant supplies. The principal items purchased include chicken, cheese, beef and pork products, paper and packaging materials. The Company has not experienced any significant continuous shortages of supplies, and alternative sources for most of these products are generally available. Prices paid for these supplies fluctuate. When prices increase, the Concepts may attempt to pass on such increases to their customers, although there is no assurance that this can be done practically. China Division In China, we work with approximately 650 independent suppliers, mostly China-based, providing a wide range of products. We own most of the distribution system which includes approximately 20 logistics centers. We also own a non-controlling interest in a meat processing facility in Inner Mongolia that supplies meat to our Little Sheep business. U.S. Division The Company, along with the representatives of the Company’s KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell franchisee groups, are members in the 4 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KRestaurant Supply Chain Solutions, LLC (“RSCS”), formerly known as the Unified Foodservice Purchasing Co-op, LLC, which is responsible for purchasing certain restaurant products and equipment in the U.S. The core mission of the RSCS is to provide the lowest possible sustainable store- delivered prices for restaurant products and equipment. This arrangement combines the purchasing power of the Company-owned and franchisee restaurants in the U.S. which the Company believes leverages the system’s scale to drive cost savings and effectiveness in the purchasing function. The Company also believes that the RSCS fosters closer alignment of interests and a stronger relationship with its franchisee community. Most food products, paper and packaging supplies, and equipment used in restaurant operations are distributed to individual restaurant units by third-party distribution companies. McLane Company, Inc. (“McLane”) is the exclusive distributor for the majority of items used in Company-owned restaurants and for a substantial number of franchisee and licensee stores. The Company entered into an agreement with McLane effective January 1, 2011 relating to distribution to Company-owned restaurants. This agreement extends through December 31, 2016 and generally restricts Company- owned restaurants from using alternative distributors for most products. International and India Divisions Outside China and the U.S., we and our franchisees use decentralized sourcing and distribution systems involving many different global, regional, and local suppliers and distributors. In our YRI markets and India Division, we have approximately 3,000 and 150 suppliers, respectively, including U.S.-based suppliers that export to many countries. trademarks and Patents The Company and its Concepts own numerous registered trademarks and service marks. The Company believes that many of these marks, including its Kentucky Fried Chicken®, KFC®, Pizza Hut® and Taco Bell® marks, have significant value and are materially important to its business. The Company’s policy is to pursue registration of its important marks whenever feasible and to oppose vigorously any infringement of its marks. The use of these marks by franchisees and licensees has been authorized in our franchise and license agreements. Under current law and with proper use, the Company’s rights in its marks can generally last indefinitely. The Company also has certain patents on restaurant equipment which, while valuable, are not material to its business. Working Capital Information about the Company’s working capital is included in MD&A in Part II, Item 7, pages 15 through 35 and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Part II, Item 8, page 40. Seasonal Operations The Company does not consider its operations to be seasonal to any material degree. Competition The retail food industry, in which our Concepts compete, is made up of supermarkets, supercenters, warehouse stores, convenience stores, coffee shops, snack bars, delicatessens and restaurants (including the QSR segment), and is intensely competitive with respect to food quality, price, service, convenience, location and concept. The industry is often affected by changes in consumer tastes; national, regional or local economic conditions; currency fluctuations; demographic trends; traffic patterns; the type, number and location of competing food retailers and products; and disposable purchasing power. Each of the Concepts competes with international, national and regional restaurant chains as well as locally- owned restaurants, not only for customers, but also for management and hourly personnel, suitable real estate sites and qualified franchisees. Part I Item 1 Business Given the various types and vast number of competitors, our Concepts do not constitute a significant portion of the retail food industry in terms of number of system units or system sales, either on a worldwide or individual country basis. research and Development (“r&D”) The Company operates R&D facilities in Shanghai, China (China Division); Plano, Texas (Pizza Hut U.S. and YRI); Irvine, California (Taco Bell); Louisville, Kentucky (KFC U.S.) and several other locations outside the U.S. The Company expensed $31 million, $30 million and $34 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for R&D activities. From time to time, independent suppliers also conduct research and development activities for the benefit of the YUM system. Environmental Matters The Company is not aware of any federal, state or local environmental laws or regulations that will materially affect its earnings or competitive position, or result in material capital expenditures. However, the Company cannot predict the effect on its operations of possible future environmental legislation or regulations. During 2013, there were no material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities and no such material expenditures are anticipated. Government regulation U.S. Division. The Company and its U.S. Division are subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting its business. Each of the Concepts’ restaurants in the U.S. must comply with licensing and regulation by a number of governmental authorities, which include health, sanitation, safety, fire and zoning agencies in the state and/or municipality in which the restaurant is located. In addition, each Concept must comply with various state and federal laws that regulate the franchisor/franchisee relationship. To date, the Company has not been materially adversely affected by such licensing and regulation or by any difficulty, delay or failure to obtain required licenses or approvals. The Company and each Concept are also subject to federal and state laws governing such matters as immigration, employment and pay practices, overtime, tip credits and working conditions. The bulk of the Concepts’ employees are paid on an hourly basis. The Company has not been materially adversely affected by such laws to date. The Company and each Concept are also subject to federal and state child labor laws which, among other things, prohibit the use of certain “hazardous equipment” by employees younger than 18 years of age. The Company has not been materially adversely affected by such laws to date. The Company and each Concept are also subject to laws relating to information security, privacy, cashless payments, consumer credit, protection and fraud. The Company has not been materially adversely affected by such laws to date. The Company and each Concept are also subject to laws relating to nutritional content, nutritional labeling, product safety and menu labeling. The Company has not been materially adversely affected by such laws to date. The Company and each Concept, as applicable, continue to monitor their facilities for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) in order to conform to its requirements. Under the ADA, the Company or the relevant Concept could be required to expend funds to modify its restaurants to better provide service to, or make reasonable accommodation for the employment of, disabled persons. The Company has not been materially adversely affected by such laws to date. International, China and India Divisions. The Company’s restaurants outside the U.S. are subject to national and local laws and regulations which are similar to those affecting U.S. restaurants, including laws and regulations concerning information security, labor, health, sanitation and safety. 5 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart I Item 1A Risk Factors The restaurants outside the U.S. are also subject to tariffs and regulations on imported commodities and equipment and laws regulating foreign investment. International compliance with environmental requirements has not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, capital expenditures or competitive position. The Company is also subject to anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and regulations, which are the focus of increasing enforcement around the world. See Item 1A “Risk Factors” below for a discussion of risks relating to federal, state, local and international regulation of our business. Employees As of year end 2013, the Company and its Concepts employed approximately 539,000 persons, approximately 86 percent of whom were part-time. The Company believes that it provides working conditions and compensation that compare favorably with those of its principal competitors. The majority of employees are paid on an hourly basis. Some employees are subject to labor council relationships that vary due to the diverse cultures in which the Company operates. The Company and its Concepts consider their employee relations to be good.

ItEM 1a risk Factors You should carefully review the risks described below as they identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements and historical trends. Our significant China operations subject us to risks that could negatively affect our business. Food safety and food-borne illness concerns may have an adverse effect on our business. Food-borne illnesses, such as E. coli, hepatitis A, trichinosis or salmonella, and food safety issues, such as food tampering, contamination or adulteration, have occurred in the past and could occur in the future. Any report or publicity linking us or one of our Concept restaurants, including restaurants operated by our Concepts’ franchisees, to instances of food- borne illness or food safety issues could adversely affect our Concepts’ brands and reputations as well as our revenues and profits and possibly lead to litigation. If a customer of our Concepts becomes ill from food-borne illnesses or as a result of food safety issues, restaurants in our system may be temporarily closed, which would decrease our revenues. In addition, instances or allegations of food-borne illness or food safety issues, real or perceived, involving our restaurants, restaurants of competitors, suppliers or distributors (regardless of whether we use or have used those suppliers or distributors), or otherwise involving the types of food served at our restaurants, could result in negative publicity that could adversely affect our sales. The occurrence of food-borne illnesses or food safety issues could also adversely affect the price and availability of affected ingredients, which could result in disruptions in our supply chain and/or lower margins for us and our Concepts’ franchisees. A significant and growing portion of our restaurants are located, and our revenues and profits originate, in China. As a consequence, our financial results are increasingly dependent on our results in China, and our business is increasingly exposed to risks there. These risks include changes in economic conditions (including consumer spending, unemployment levels and wage and commodity inflation), income and non-income based tax rates and laws and consumer preferences, as well as changes in the regulatory environment and increased competition. In addition, our results of operations in China and the value of our Chinese assets are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect reported earnings. There can be no assurance as to the future effect of any such changes on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. In addition, any significant or prolonged deterioration in U.S.-China relations could adversely affect our China business. Certain risks and uncertainties of doing business in China are solely within the control of the Chinese government, and Chinese law regulates the scope of our foreign investments and business conducted within China. There are also uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of laws and regulations and the enforceability of intellectual property and contract rights in China. If we were unable to enforce our intellectual property or contract rights in China, our business would be adversely impacted. 6 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart I Item 1A Risk Factors Health concerns arising from outbreaks of viruses or other diseases may have an adverse effect on our business. Shortages or interruptions in the availability and delivery of food and other supplies may increase costs or reduce revenues. Outbreaks of avian flu occur from time to time around the world, including in China where a significant portion of our profits and revenues originate. It is possible that outbreaks in China and elsewhere could reach pandemic levels. Public concern over avian flu generally may cause fear about the consumption of chicken, eggs and other products derived from poultry, which could cause customers to consume less poultry and related products. This would likely result in lower revenues and profits. Avian flu outbreaks could also adversely affect the price and availability of poultry, which could negatively impact our profit margins and revenues. Widespread outbreaks could also affect our ability to attract and retain employees. Furthermore, other viruses such as H1N1 or “swine flu” may be transmitted through human contact, and the risk of contracting viruses could cause employees or guests to avoid gathering in public places, which could adversely affect restaurant guest traffic or the ability to adequately staff restaurants. We could also be adversely affected if jurisdictions in which we have restaurants impose mandatory closures, seek voluntary closures or impose restrictions on operations of restaurants. Even if such measures are not implemented and a virus or other disease does not spread significantly, the perceived risk of infection or health risk may affect our business. Our foreign operations subject us to risks that could negatively affect our business. A significant portion of our Concepts’ restaurants are operated in countries and territories outside of the U.S., and we intend to continue expansion of our international operations. As a result, our business is increasingly exposed to risks inherent in foreign operations. These risks, which can vary substantially by country, include political instability, corruption, social and ethnic unrest, changes in economic conditions (including consumer spending, unemployment levels and wage and commodity inflation), the regulatory environment, income and non-income based tax rates and laws and consumer preferences as well as changes in the laws and policies that govern foreign investment in countries where our restaurants are operated. In addition, our results of operations and the value of our foreign assets are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect reported earnings. More specifically, an increase in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to other currencies, such as the Australian Dollar, the British Pound, the Canadian Dollar and the Euro, as well as currencies in certain emerging markets, could have an adverse effect on our reported earnings. There can be no assurance as to the future effect of any such changes on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Failure to protect the integrity and security of personal information of our customers and employees could result in substantial costs, expose us to litigation and damage our reputation. We receive and maintain certain personal information about our customers and employees. The use of this information is regulated by applicable law, as well as by certain third-party contracts. If our security and information systems are compromised or our employees, franchisees or vendors fail to comply with these laws and regulations and this information is obtained by unauthorized persons or used inappropriately, it could result in liabilities and penalties and could damage our reputation, cause us to incur substantial costs and result in a loss of customer confidence, which could adversely affect our restaurant operations and results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, we could be subject to litigation, government enforcement actions and private litigation as a result of any such failure. The products sold by our Concepts and their franchisees are sourced from a wide variety of domestic and international suppliers. We are also dependent upon third parties to make frequent deliveries of food products and supplies that meet our specifications at competitive prices. Shortages or interruptions in the supply of food items and other supplies to our restaurants could adversely affect the availability, quality and cost of items we buy and the operations of our restaurants. Such shortages or disruptions could be caused by inclement weather, natural disasters such as floods, drought and hurricanes, increased demand, problems in production or distribution, the inability of our vendors to obtain credit, political instability in the countries in which foreign suppliers and distributors are located, the financial instability of suppliers and distributors, suppliers’ or distributors’ failure to meet our standards, product quality issues, inflation, other factors relating to the suppliers and distributors and the countries in which they are located, food safety warnings or advisories or the prospect of such pronouncements or other conditions beyond our control. A shortage or interruption in the availability of certain food products or supplies could increase costs and limit the availability of products critical to restaurant operations, which in turn could lead to restaurant closures and/or a decrease in sales. In addition, failure by a principal distributor for our Concepts and/ or our Concepts’ franchisees to meet its service requirements could lead to a disruption of service or supply until a new distributor is engaged, and any disruption could have an adverse effect on our business. We may not attain our target development goals, and aggressive development could cannibalize existing sales. Our growth strategy depends in large part on our ability to increase our net restaurant count in markets outside the U.S., especially China and other emerging markets. The successful development of new units will depend in large part on our ability and the ability of our Concepts’ franchisees to open new restaurants and to operate these restaurants on a profitable basis. We cannot guarantee that we, or our Concepts’ franchisees, will be able to achieve our expansion goals or that new restaurants will be operated profitably. Further, there is no assurance that any new restaurant will produce operating results similar to those of our existing restaurants. Other risks which could impact our ability to increase our net restaurant count include prevailing economic conditions and our, or our Concepts’ franchisees’ ability to obtain suitable restaurant locations, negotiate acceptable lease or purchase terms for the locations, obtain required permits and approvals in a timely manner, hire and train qualified personnel and meet construction schedules. Expansion into target markets could also be affected by our Concepts’ franchisees’ ability to obtain financing to construct and open new restaurants. If it becomes more difficult or more expensive for our Concepts’ franchisees to obtain financing to develop new restaurants, the expected growth of our system could slow and our future revenues and operating cash flows could be adversely impacted. In addition, the new restaurants could impact the sales of our existing restaurants nearby. There can be no assurance that sales cannibalization will not occur or become more significant in the future as we increase our presence in existing markets. Changes in commodity and other operating costs could adversely affect our results of operations. Any increase in certain commodity prices, such as food, supply and energy costs, could adversely affect our operating results. Because our Concepts and their franchisees provide competitively priced food, our 7 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart I Item 1A Risk Factors ability to pass along commodity price increases to our customers is limited. Significant increases in gasoline prices could also result in a decrease of customer traffic at our restaurants or the imposition of fuel surcharges by our distributors, each of which could adversely affect our profit margins. Our operating expenses also include employee wages and benefits and insurance costs (including workers’ compensation, general liability, property and health) which may increase over time. Any such increase could adversely affect our profit margins. Our operating results are closely tied to the success of our Concepts’ franchisees. A significant portion of our restaurants are operated by franchisees from whom we derive a significant portion of our revenues in the form of royalty payments. As a result, the success of our business depends in part upon the operational and financial success of our Concepts’ franchisees. We have limited control over how our Concepts’ franchisees’ businesses are run, and the inability of our Concepts’ franchisees to operate successfully could adversely affect our operating results through decreased royalty payments. If franchisees incur too much debt or if economic or sales trends deteriorate such that they are unable to operate profitably or repay existing debt, it could result in financial distress, including insolvency or bankruptcy. If a significant franchisee or a significant number of our Concepts’ franchisees become financially distressed, our operating results could be impacted through reduced or delayed royalty payments or increased rent obligations for leased properties on which we are contingently liable. Our success depends substantially on the value and perception of our brands. Our success depends in large part upon our ability to maintain and enhance the value of our brands and our customers’ connection to our brands. Brand value is based in part on consumer perceptions on a variety of subjective qualities. Business incidents, whether isolated or recurring and whether originating from us, our franchisees or suppliers, can significantly reduce brand value and consumer trust, particularly if the incidents receive considerable publicity or result in litigation. For example, our brands could be damaged by claims or perceptions about the quality or safety of our products or the quality of our suppliers, regardless of whether such claims or perceptions are true. Any such incident could cause a decline in consumer confidence in, or the perception of, our Concepts and/or our products and decrease the value of our brands as well as consumer demand for our products, which would likely result in lower revenues and profits. Our inability or failure to recognize, respond to and effectively manage the accelerated impact of social media could materially adversely impact our business. There has been a marked increase in the use of social media platforms, including weblogs (blogs), social media websites, and other forms of Internet-based communications which allow individuals access to a broad audience of consumers and other interested persons. Many social media platforms immediately publish the content their subscribers and participants post, often without filters or checks on accuracy of the content posted. Information posted on such platforms at any time may be adverse to our interests and/or may be inaccurate. The dissemination of information online could harm our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations, regardless of the information’s accuracy. The harm may be immediate without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction. Other risks associated with the use of social media include improper disclosure of proprietary information, negative comments about our Concepts, exposure of personally identifiable information, fraud and 8 out-of-date information. The inappropriate use of social media by our customers or employees could increase our costs, lead to litigation or result in negative publicity that could damage our reputation. A suspension of the Chinese affiliates of the “Big Four” accounting firms may impact our ability to access capital markets and could result in other material adverse effects. In January 2014, a U.S. administrative law court issued an initial ruling to suspend Chinese affiliates of the global “Big Four” accounting firms, including the Chinese affiliate of our independent auditor, from auditing U.S.-listed companies for six months. While we believe the likelihood of the suspension becoming effective is remote, it is difficult to determine the potential consequences if the ruling is sustained. However, given the significance of our China Division to our consolidated financial statements, it is possible that we would be unable to include audited and/or reviewed consolidated financial statements in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K that we are required to file with the SEC. As a result, we could be unable to file our reports in a timely manner or such filings would be considered deficient. Until such reviews or audits are completed, our filings under the Exchange Act could continue to be deficient or untimely, and our ability to access the capital markets could be significantly limited. These issues could render us temporarily ineligible for use of both shelf registration and “short-form” registration that allows us to incorporate our prior filings by reference. Our inability to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company may lead the New York Stock Exchange to commence delisting procedures with respect to our common shares. In addition, the failure to deliver audited financial statements could also constitute an event of default under our Credit Facility. Moreover, any negative news about the proceedings against the “Big Four” audit firms could erode investor confidence in financial statements relating to our Chinese operations. We could be party to litigation that could adversely affect us by increasing our expenses or subjecting us to significant monetary damages and other remedies. From time to time we are involved in a number of legal proceedings, which include consumer, employment, tort, patent, securities, derivative and other litigation (see the discussion of Legal Proceedings in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Report). We are currently a defendant in cases containing class action allegations in which the plaintiffs have brought claims under federal and state wage and hour, disability and other laws. We are also currently a defendant in securities and derivative lawsuits alleging inadequate disclosures in violation of federal securities laws. Plaintiffs in these types of lawsuits often seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude of the potential loss relating to such lawsuits may not be accurately estimated. Regardless of whether any claims against us are valid, or whether we are ultimately held liable, such litigation may be expensive to defend and may divert resources away from our operations and negatively impact reported earnings. With respect to insured claims, a judgment for monetary damages in excess of any insurance coverage could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Any adverse publicity resulting from these allegations may also adversely affect our reputation, which in turn could adversely affect our results. In addition, the restaurant industry has been subject to claims that relate to the nutritional content of food products, as well as claims that the menus and practices of restaurant chains have led to the obesity of some customers. We may also be subject to this type of claim in the future and, even if we are not, publicity about these matters (particularly directed at the quick service and fast-casual segments of the industry) may harm our reputation and adversely affect our results. YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KChanges in, or noncompliance with, governmental regulations may adversely affect our business operations, growth prospects or financial condition. Our Concepts and their franchisees are subject to numerous laws and regulations around the world. These laws change regularly and are increasingly complex. For example, we are subject to: •• The Americans with Disabilities Act in the U.S. and similar state laws that give civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities in the context of employment, public accommodations and other areas. •• The U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs matters such as minimum wages, overtime and other working conditions, family leave mandates and a variety of similar state laws that govern these and other employment law matters. •• Anti-bribery and corruption laws and regulations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act and similar laws, which are the subject of increasing scrutiny and enforcement around the world. •• New or changing laws and regulations in government-mandated health care benefits such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. •• New or changing laws and regulations relating to nutritional content, nutritional labeling, product safety and menu labeling. •• New or changing laws relating to state and local licensing. •• New or changing laws and regulations relating to health, sanitation, food, workplace safety and fire safety and prevention. •• New or changing laws and regulations relating to union organizing rights and activities. •• New or changing laws relating to information security, privacy, cashless payments and consumer credit, protection and fraud. •• New or changing environmental regulations. •• New or changing federal and state immigration laws and regulations in the U.S. Compliance with new or existing laws and regulations could impact our operations. In addition, the compliance costs associated with these laws and regulations could be substantial. Any failure or alleged failure to comply with these laws or regulations could adversely affect our reputation, international expansion efforts, growth prospects and financial condition or result in, among other things, litigation, revocation of required licenses, governmental investigations or proceedings, administrative enforcement actions, fines and civil and criminal liability. Publicity relating to any such noncompliance could also harm our reputation and adversely affect our revenues. Tax matters, including changes in tax rates, disagreements with taxing authorities and imposition of new taxes could impact our results of operations and financial condition. A significant percentage of our profits are earned outside the U.S. and taxed at lower rates than the U.S. statutory rates. Historically, the cash we generate outside the U.S. has principally been used to fund our Part I Item 1B Unresolved Staff Comments international development. However, if the cash generated by our U.S. business is not sufficient to meet our need for cash in the U.S., we may need to repatriate a greater portion of our international earnings to the U.S. in the future. We are required to record U.S. income tax expense in our financial statements at the point in time when our management determines that such funds are not permanently invested outside the U.S. This could cause our worldwide effective tax rate to increase materially. We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes, such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property, withholding and franchise taxes in both the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. We are also subject to regular reviews, examinations and audits by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities with respect to such income and non-income based taxes inside and outside of the U.S. If the IRS or another taxing authority disagrees with our tax positions, we could face additional tax liability, including interest and penalties. Payment of such additional amounts upon final settlement or adjudication of any disputes could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position. In addition, we are directly and indirectly affected by new tax legislation and regulation and the interpretation of tax laws and regulations worldwide. Changes in such legislation, regulation or interpretation could increase our taxes and have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. Our business may be adversely impacted by general economic conditions. Our results of operations are dependent upon discretionary spending by consumers, which may be affected by general economic conditions globally or in one or more of the markets we serve. Some of the factors that impact discretionary consumer spending include unemployment, disposable income and consumer confidence. These and other macroeconomic factors could have an adverse effect on our sales, profitability or development plans, which could harm our financial condition and operating results. The retail food industry in which we operate is highly competitive. The retail food industry in which we operate is highly competitive with respect to price and quality of food products, new product development, advertising levels and promotional initiatives, customer service, reputation, restaurant location, and attractiveness and maintenance of properties. If consumer or dietary preferences change, or our restaurants are unable to compete successfully with other retail food outlets in new and existing markets, our business could be adversely affected. We also face growing competition as a result of convergence in grocery, deli and restaurant services, including the offering by the grocery industry of convenient meals, including pizzas and entrees with side dishes. In addition, in the retail food industry, labor is a primary operating cost component. Competition for qualified employees could also require us to pay higher wages to attract a sufficient number of employees, which could adversely impact our profit margins. ItEM 1B Unresolved Staff Comments The Company has received no written comments regarding its periodic or current reports from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that were issued 180 days or more preceding the end of its 2013 fiscal year and that remain unresolved. 9 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart I ItEM 2 Properties As of year end 2013, the Company’s Concepts owned approximately 850 units and leased land, building or both for approximately 7,275 units worldwide. These units are further detailed as follows: •• The China Division leased land, building or both in approximately 5,000 units. •• The International Division owned approximately 150 units and leased land, building or both in approximately 1,175 units. •• The U.S. Division owned approximately 675 units and leased land, building or both in approximately 900 units. •• The India Division leased land, building or both in approximately 200 units. Company-owned restaurants in China are generally leased for initial terms of 10 to 15 years and generally do not have renewal options. Historically, the Company has either been able to renew its China Division leases or enter into competitive leases at replacement sites without a significant impact on our operations, cash flows or capital resources. Company-owned restaurants in the U.S. with leases are generally leased for initial terms of 15 or 20 years and generally have renewal options; however, Pizza Hut delivery/carryout units in the U.S. generally are leased for significantly shorter initial terms with shorter renewal options. Company-owned restaurants outside of China and the U.S. with leases have initial lease terms and renewal options that vary by country. The Company currently has approximately 825 units worldwide that it leases or subleases to franchisees, principally in the U.S., U.K. and Mexico. The China Division leases their corporate headquarters and research facilities in Shanghai, China. The Pizza Hut U.S. and YRI corporate headquarters and a research facility in Plano, Texas are owned by Pizza Hut. Taco Bell leases its corporate headquarters and research facility in Irvine, California. The KFC U.S. and YUM corporate headquarters and a research facility in Louisville, Kentucky are owned by the Company. In addition, YUM leases office facilities for the U.S. Division shared service center in Louisville, Kentucky. YUM sub-leases a portion of its shared service office facility in Louisville, Kentucky to a company that performs certain of our information technology, accounting and payroll services. Additional information about the Company’s properties is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8, pages 36 through 71. The Company believes that its properties are generally in good operating condition and are suitable for the purposes for which they are being used. ItEM 3 Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to various lawsuits covering a variety of allegations. The Company believes that the ultimate liability, if any, in excess of amounts already provided for these matters in the Consolidated Financial Statements, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s annual results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The following is a brief description of the more significant of the categories of lawsuits and other matters we face from time to time. Descriptions of specific claims and contingencies appear in Note 19, Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, which Note is incorporated by reference into this item. Franchisees A substantial number of the restaurants of each of the Concepts are franchised to independent businesses. In the course of the franchise relationship, occasional disputes arise with franchisees relating to a broad range of subjects, including, without limitation, marketing, operational standards, quality, service and cleanliness issues, grants, transfers or terminations of franchise rights, territorial disputes and delinquent payments. Suppliers The Company and its Concepts purchase food, paper, equipment and other restaurant supplies as well as certain services from numerous independent suppliers throughout the world. Disputes arise from time-to-time with suppliers on a number of issues, including, but not limited to, general performance, compliance with product specifications and terms of procurement and service requirements. Employees At any given time, the Company or its Concepts employ hundreds of thousands of persons, primarily in its restaurants. In addition, each year thousands of persons seek employment with the Company and its Concepts. From time to time, disputes arise regarding employee hiring, compensation, termination and promotion practices.

(b) See Note 4 for discussion of Refranchising Gain (Loss) for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011. Fiscal year 2010 included a $52 million loss on the refranchising of our Mexico equity market. In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) throughout this document, the Company has provided non-GAAP measurements (c) which present operating results on a basis before Special Items. The Company uses earnings before Special Items as a key performance measure of results of operations for the purpose of evaluating performance internally. This non-GAAP measurement is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the Company believes that the presentation of earnings before Special Items provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations due to their size and/or nature. 2013, 2012 and 2011 Special Items are described in further detail within our MD&A. Special Items in 2010 negatively impacted Operating Profit by $77 million, primarily due to $59 million in refranchising losses for equity markets outside the U.S. and U.S. refranchising net losses of $18 million. Special Items in 2009 positively impacted Operating Profit by $18 million, primarily due to a gain of $68 million upon our acquisition of additional ownership interest in, and consolidation of, the operating entity that owns KFCs in Shanghai China, U.S. refranchising net gains of $34 million, offset by investments in our U.S. brands of $32 million, a U.S. goodwill impairment charge of $26 million and charges of $16 million relating to U.S. General and Administrative (“G&A”) productivity initiatives and realignment of resources. These items above resulted in cumulative net tax benefits of $7 million and $5 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. (d) System sales growth includes the results of all restaurants regardless of ownership, including Company-owned, franchise, unconsolidated affiliate and license restaurants that operate our concepts, except for non-Company-owned restaurants for which we do not receive a sales-based royalty. Sales of franchise, unconsolidated affiliate and license restaurants generate franchise and license fees for the Company (typically at a rate of 4% to 6% of sales). Franchise, unconsolidated affiliate and license restaurant sales are not included in Company sales on the Consolidated Statements of Income; however, the franchise and license fees are included in the Company’s revenues. We believe system sales growth is useful to investors as a significant indicator of the overall strength of our business as it incorporates all of our revenue drivers, Company and franchise same-store sales as well as net unit development. Same-store sales growth includes the estimated growth in sales of all restaurants that have been open and in the YUM system one year or more. (e) Local currency represents the percentage change excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. These amounts are derived by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. We believe the elimination of the foreign currency translation impact provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations. Fiscal years 2013, 2012, 2010 and 2009 include 52 weeks and fiscal year 2011 includes 53 weeks. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) for discussion of the impact of the 53rd week in fiscal year 2011. The selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements. ItEM Part II7 Management’s Discussion and analysis of Financial Condition and results of Operations Introduction and Overview The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 36 through 71 (“Financial Statements”) and the Forward-Looking Statements on page 2 and the Risk Factors set forth in Item 1A. Throughout the MD&A, YUM! Brands, Inc. (“YUM” or the “Company”) makes reference to certain performance measures as described below. •• The Company provides the percentage changes excluding the impact of foreign currency translation (“FX” or “Forex”). These amounts are derived by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. We believe the elimination of the foreign currency translation impact provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations. •• System sales growth includes the results of all restaurants regardless of ownership, including Company-owned, franchise, unconsolidated affiliate and license restaurants that operate our Concepts, except for non- company-owned restaurants for which we do not receive a sales-based royalty. Sales of franchise, unconsolidated affiliate and license restaurants generate franchise and license fees for the Company (typically at a rate of 4% to 6% of sales). Franchise, unconsolidated affiliate and license restaurant sales are not included in Company sales on the Consolidated Statements of Income; however, the franchise and license fees are included in the Company’s revenues. We believe system sales growth is useful to investors as a significant indicator of the overall strength of our business as it incorporates all of our revenue drivers, Company and franchise same-store sales as well as net unit development. •• Same-store sales is the estimated growth in sales of all restaurants that have been open and in the YUM system one year or more. The impact of same-store sales growth on both our Company-owned store results and Franchise and license fees and income is described elsewhere in this MD&A. •• Company restaurant profit is defined as Company sales less expenses incurred directly by our Company restaurants in generating Company sales. Company restaurant margin as a percentage of sales is defined as Company restaurant profit divided by Company sales. •• Operating margin is defined as Operating Profit divided by Total revenue. All Note references herein refer to the Notes to the Financial Statements on pages 43 through 71. Tabular amounts are displayed in millions of U.S. dollars except per share and unit count amounts, or as otherwise specifically identified. Percentages may not recompute due to rounding. Description of Business YUM has over 40,000 restaurants in more than 125 countries and territories operating primarily under the KFC, Pizza Hut or Taco Bell brands, which are the global leaders in the chicken, pizza and Mexican-style food categories, respectively. Of the over 40,000 restaurants, 20% are operated by the Company, 75% are operated by franchisees and unconsolidated affiliates and 5% are operated by licensees. 15 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K Part II Part II Item 7 management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations As of and through December 28, 2013, YUM’s business consists of four reporting segments: YUM China (“China” or “China Division”), YUM Restaurants International (“YRI” or “International Division”), United States (“U.S.”) and YUM Restaurants India (“India” or “India Division”). The China Division includes mainland China and the India Division includes India, Bangladesh, Mauritius, Nepal and Sri Lanka. YRI includes the remainder of our international operations. The China Division, YRI and Taco Bell U.S. represent approximately 90% of the Company’s operating profits, excluding Corporate and unallocated income and expenses. In the first quarter of 2014, we will combine our YRI and U.S. businesses and begin reporting segment information for three global divisions: KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. China and India will remain separate reporting segments due to their strategic importance and growth potential. This new structure is designed to drive greater global brand focus, enabling us to more effectively share know-how and accelerate growth. While our consolidated results will not be impacted, we will restate our historical segment information during 2014 for consistent presentation. In 2012, our India Division began being reported as a standalone reporting segment separate from YRI as a result of changes to our management reporting structure. While our consolidated results are not impacted, our historical segment information has been restated to be consistent with the current period presentation. In December of 2011 we sold our Long John Silver’s (“LJS”) and A&W All American Food Restaurants (“A&W”) brands to key franchise leaders and strategic investors in separate transactions. The results for these businesses through the sale dates are included in the Company’s results for 2011. Strategies The Company has historically focused on the following four key strategies: Build Leading Brands in China in Every Significant Category Part II– The Company has developed the KFC and Pizza Hut brands into the leading quick service and casual dining restaurant brands, respectively, in mainland China. Additionally, the Company owns and operates the distribution system for its restaurants in China which we believe provides a significant competitive advantage. Given this strong competitive position, a growing economy and a population of 1.4 billion in mainland China, the Company is rapidly adding KFC and Pizza Hut Casual Dining restaurants, beginning to develop Pizza Hut Home Service (home delivery) and testing the additional restaurant concept of East Dawning (Chinese food). Additionally, on February 1, 2012 we acquired an additional 66% interest in Little Sheep Group Ltd. (“Little Sheep”), a leading casual dining concept in China. This acquisition brought our total ownership to approximately 93% of the business. Our ongoing earnings growth model in China includes low double-digit percentage unit growth, mid-single digit same-store sales growth and moderate margin improvement, which we expect to drive Operating Profit growth of 15%. Drive aggressive International Expansion and Build Strong Brands Everywhere – Outside the U.S. and China the Company and its franchisees opened over 1,200 new restaurants in 2013, representing 14 straight years of opening over 700 restaurants, and the Company is one of the leading international retail developers in terms of units opened. The Company expects to continue to experience strong growth by building out existing markets and growing in new markets including India, France, Germany, Russia and across Africa. The International Division’s Operating Profit has experienced a 10-year compound annual growth rate of approximately 12%. Our ongoing earnings growth model for YRI includes Operating Profit growth of 10% driven by 3-4% unit growth, system sales growth of 6%, at least 2-3% same-store sales growth, margin improvement and leverage of our G&A infrastructure. Dramatically Improve U.S. Brand Positions, Consistency and returns – The Company continues to focus on improving its U.S. position through differentiated products and marketing and an improved customer experience. The Company also strives to provide industry-leading new product innovation which adds sales layers and expands day parts. We continue to evaluate our returns and ownership positions with an earn- the-right-to-own philosophy on Company-owned restaurants. Our ongoing earnings growth model for the U.S. calls for Operating Profit growth of 5% driven by same-store sales growth of at least 2%, margin improvement and leverage of our G&A infrastructure. Drive Industry-Leading, Long-term Shareholder and Franchisee Value – The Company is focused on delivering high returns and returning substantial cash flows to its shareholders via dividends and share repurchases. The Company has one of the highest returns on invested capital in the QSR industry. The Company’s dividend and share repurchase programs have returned over $3.3 billion and $8.5 billion to shareholders, respectively, since 2004. The Company targets an annual dividend payout ratio of 35% to 40% of net income and has increased the quarterly dividend at a double-digit percentage rate each year since first initiating a dividend in 2004. Shares are repurchased opportunistically as part of our regular capital structure decisions. Our ongoing earnings growth model, including the components above, is expected to generate EPS growth of at least 10% annually. However, due primarily to poor performance in our China Division, the Company’s 2013 EPS prior to Special Items declined 9%. Our 2014 EPS prior to Special Items is expected to grow at least 20% due in large part to our expectations that China Division Operating Profit for 2014 will grow at a rate significantly above the ongoing growth rate of 15% indicated above. 2013 Highlights •• KFC China sales and profits were significantly impacted by the effects of the December 2012 poultry supply incident, as well as subsequent news of avian flu. •• Worldwide system sales grew 2%, prior to foreign currency translation, including 5% growth at YRI and 1% growth in the U.S. System sales declined 4% in China. •• Same-store sales declined 13% in China. Same-store sales grew 1% at YRI and were flat in the U.S. •• Total international development was 1,952 new restaurants. •• Worldwide restaurant margin declined 1.6 percentage points to 15.0%, including a decline of 2.7 percentage points in China. Restaurant margin was even at YRI and increased 0.6 percentage points in the U.S. •• Worldwide operating profit declined 10%, prior to foreign currency translation, including a decline of 26% in China. Operating profit grew 10% at YRI and 3% in the U.S. •• Worldwide effective tax rate increased to 28.0% from 25.8%, driven primarily by a tax reserve adjustment in the third quarter. The tax rate increase negatively impacted 2013 EPS results by 3 percentage points. •• A non-cash, Special Items net charge of $258 million related to the write-down of Little Sheep intangible assets was recorded in the third quarter. This charge impacted reported EPS by 16 percentage points for the full year. •• The Company repurchased $550 million of outstanding debt in the fourth quarter and recorded a Special Items net charge of approximately $75 million, primarily due to premiums paid related to this transaction. This charge impacted reported EPS by 5 percentage points for the full year. All preceding comparisons are versus the same period a year ago and exclude the impact of Special Items unless otherwise noted. See the Significant Known Events, Trends or Uncertainties Impacting or Expected to Impact Comparisons of Reported or Future Results section of this MD&A for a description of Special Items. 16 YUM!

Rather, the Company believes that the presentation of earnings before Special Items provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, excluding items in 2013, 2012 and 2011 that the Company does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations due to their size and/or nature. 17 YUM!

U.S. refranchising gain (loss) Little Sheep acquisition and Subsequent Impairment In the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, we recorded pre-tax refranchising gains of $91 million and $122 million, respectively, in the U.S. primarily due to gains on sales of Taco Bell restaurants. In the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded pre-tax losses of $17 million from refranchising in the U.S., which were primarily the net result of gains from restaurants sold and non-cash impairment charges related to our offers to refranchise restaurants in the U.S., principally a substantial portion of our Company-owned KFC restaurants. Refranchising gains and losses are more fully discussed in Note 4 and the Store Portfolio Strategy Section of the MD&A. Pension Settlement Charges During the fourth quarter of 2012 and continuing through 2013, the Company allowed certain former employees with deferred vested balances in our U.S. pension plans an opportunity to voluntarily elect an early payout of their pension benefits. The majority of these payouts were funded from existing pension assets. As a result of settlement payments from the programs discussed above exceeding the sum of service and interest costs within these U.S. pension plans in 2013 and 2012, pursuant to our accounting policy we recorded pre-tax settlement charges of $10 million and $84 million for the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, in General and administrative expenses. See Note 14 for further discussion of our pension plans. On February 1, 2012 we acquired an additional 66% interest in Little Sheep Group Limited (“Little Sheep”) for $540 million, net of cash acquired of $44 million, increasing our ownership to 93%. The acquisition was driven by our strategy to build leading brands across China in every significant category. Prior to our acquisition of this additional interest, our 27% interest in Little Sheep was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As a result of the acquisition we obtained voting control of Little Sheep, and thus we began consolidating Little Sheep upon acquisition. As required by GAAP, we remeasured our previously held 27% ownership in Little Sheep, which had a recorded value of $107 million at the date of acquisition, at fair value based on Little Sheep’s traded share price immediately prior to our offer to purchase the business and recognized a non-cash gain of $74 million. This gain, which resulted in no related income tax expense, was recorded in Other (income) expense on our Consolidated Statement of Income in 2012. Under the equity method of accounting, we previously reported our 27% share of the net income of Little Sheep as Other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Since the acquisition, we have reported Little Sheep’s results of operations in the appropriate line items of our Consolidated Statement of Income. We no longer report Other (income) expense as we did under the equity method of accounting. Net income attributable to our partner’s ownership percentage is recorded in Net Income (loss) – noncontrolling interests. In 2012, the consolidation of Little Sheep increased China Division Revenues by 4%, decreased China 18 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K Part II Part II Item 7 management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Restaurant Margin by 0.4 percentage points and did not have a significant impact on China Division Operating Profit versus 2011. The purchase price paid for the additional 66% interest and the resulting purchase price allocation assumed same-store sales growth and new unit development for the brand. As a result of consolidating Little Sheep, the primary assets recorded in 2012 were an indefinite-lived Little Sheep trademark and goodwill of approximately $400 million and $375 million, respectively. The goodwill was assigned to the newly formed Little Sheep reporting unit within our China Division. Little Sheep’s sales were negatively impacted by a longer than expected purchase approval and ownership transition phase. Our efforts to regain sales momentum were significantly compromised in May 2013 due to negative publicity regarding quality issues with unrelated hot pot concepts in China, even though there was not an issue with the quality of Little Sheep products. While we remain confident in the long-term potential of Little Sheep, the sustained declines in sales and profits that began in May 2013 and continued through the third quarter, coupled with the anticipated time it will now take for the business to recover, resulted in a determination during the quarter ended September 7, 2013 that it was not more likely than not that the Little Sheep trademark and reporting unit fair values were in excess of their carrying values. Therefore, our Little Sheep trademark and goodwill were tested for impairment in the quarter ended September 7, 2013, prior to the annual impairment reviews performed in the fourth quarter of each year in accordance with our accounting policy. As a result of comparing the trademark’s fair value of $345 million to its carrying value of $414 million, an impairment charge of $69 million was recorded. Additionally, after determining the fair value of the Little Sheep reporting unit was less than its carrying value, goodwill was written down to $162 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $222 million. The Company also evaluated other Little Sheep long-lived assets for impairment and recorded a $4 million impairment charge related to restaurant-level PP&E. These non-cash impairment charges totalling $295 million were recorded in Closures and impairment (income) expense on our Consolidated Statement of Income. We recorded an $18 million tax benefit associated with these impairments and allocated $19 million of the after-tax impairment charges to Net Income (loss) - noncontrolling interests, which resulted in a net impairment charge of $258 million allocated to Net Income - YUM! Brands, Inc. Losses associated With the refranchising of the Pizza Hut UK Dine-in Business During the fourth quarter of 2012, we refranchised our remaining 331 Company-owned Pizza Hut dine-in restaurants in the United Kingdom (“UK”). The franchise agreement for these stores allows the franchisee to pay continuing franchise fees in the initial years of the agreement at a reduced rate. We agreed to allow the franchisee to pay these reduced fees in part as consideration for their assumption of lease liabilities related to underperforming stores that we anticipate they will close that were part of the refranchising. We recognize the estimated value of terms in franchise agreements entered into concurrently with a refranchising transaction that are not consistent with market terms as part of the upfront refranchising gain (loss). Accordingly, upon the closing of this refranchising in the fourth quarter of 2012, we recognized a loss of $53 million representing the estimated value of these reduced continuing fees. The associated deferred credit is being amortized into YRI’s Franchise and license fees and income through 2016. This upfront loss largely contributed to a $70 million Refranchising loss we recognized in Special Items during 2012, net of income tax benefits of $9 million. During 2011, we recorded a $76 million charge in Refranchising gain (loss) as a result of our decision to refranchise or close all of the remaining Company-owned Pizza Hut UK dine-in restaurants, primarily to write down these restaurants’ long-lived assets to their then estimated fair value. For the year ended December 28, 2013, the refranchising of the Pizza Hut UK dine-in restaurants decreased Company sales by 18% and increased Franchise and license fees and income and Operating Profit by 2% and 3%, respectively, for the YRI Division versus 2012. Losses and Other Costs relating to the LJS and a&W Divestitures In 2011, we sold the Long John Silver’s and A&W All American Food Restaurants brands to key franchise leaders and strategic investors in separate transactions. We recognized $86 million of losses and other costs primarily in Closures and impairment (income) expenses as a result of our decision to sell these businesses. Additionally, we recognized $104 million of tax benefits related to these divestitures. In 2012 as compared to 2011, System sales and Franchise and license fees and income in the U.S. were negatively impacted by 5% and 6%, respectively, due to these divestitures while YRI’s system sales and Franchise and license fees and income were both negatively impacted by 1%. While these divestitures negatively impacted both the U.S. and YRI segments’ Operating Profit by 1% in 2012, the impact on our consolidated Operating Profit was not significant. Other Special Items Income (Expense) In connection with the aforementioned refranchising of stores in the U.S., we have taken several measures to transform our U.S. business, including G&A productivity initiatives and realignment of resources (primarily severance and early retirement costs). Other Special Items Income (Expense) in 2013 includes charges relating to these U.S. G&A productivity initiatives and realignment of resources of $5 million as well as $2 million of costs recorded in G&A that were part of the $120 million charge related to the extinguishment of debt. Other Special Items Income (Expense) in 2012 includes the depreciation reduction from the Pizza Hut UK and KFC U.S. restaurants impaired upon our decision or offer to refranchise that remained Company stores for some or all of the periods presented of $13 million and $3 million, respectively, gains from real estate sales related to our previously refranchised Mexico business of $3 million and charges relating to U.S. G&A productivity initiatives and realignment of resources of $5 million. Other Special Items Income (Expense) in 2011 includes the depreciation reduction from the Pizza Hut UK and KFC U.S. restaurants impaired upon our decision or offer to refranchise that remained Company stores for some or all of the periods presented of $3 million and $10 million, respectively, and charges relating to U.S. G&A productivity initiatives and realignment of resources of $21 million. Losses related to the Extinguishment of Debt During the fourth quarter of 2013, we completed a cash tender offer to repurchase $550 million of our Senior Unsecured Notes due either March 2018 or November 2037. This transaction resulted in $120 million of losses as a result of premiums paid and other costs, $118 million of which was classified as Interest expense, net in our Consolidated Statement of Income. The repurchase of the Senior Unsecured Notes was funded primarily by proceeds of $599 million received from the issuance of new Senior Unsecured Notes. See Note 10 for further discussion on the issuance of Senior Unsecured Notes. China Poultry Supply Incident and avian Flu In late December 2012 our KFC China sales began to be negatively impacted by intense media attention surrounding an investigation by the Shanghai FDA (SFDA) into poultry supply management at our China Division. In January 2013 the SFDA concluded its investigation and released its recommendations to Yum! China. During 2013 our team in China undertook a comprehensive review of our supply chain, incorporated the SFDA’s recommendations and, as part of our commitment to quality, took additional steps to further strengthen our overall poultry supply chain practices, including increased testing of product received 19 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart II Part II Item 7 management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations from suppliers. As a result of increased product testing and additional regulatory scrutiny, instances of supplier noncompliance are identified from time to time, leading to related actions by us and regulatory authorities, including the termination of certain suppliers in accordance with our policies. KFC China sales were further negatively impacted beginning in April of 2013 by the intense media surrounding avian flu in China. The combined impacts of the media attention surrounding the SFDA investigation and avian flu resulted in a 13% decline in China Division same-store sales for the full year. Operating Profit for 2013 declined 26%, prior to foreign currency translation, due primarily to sales de-leverage at KFC. As the extensive publicity in 2013 around these two events subsided, KFC China’s sales began to recover, and same-store sales improved in each consecutive month during China Division’s fourth quarter. KFC China’s fourth quarter same-store sales declined 4% compared to same store sales declines of 15% for the full year. Given the momentum of the KFC business and the continued strength of Pizza Hut Casual Dining, China Division 2014 Operating Profit is expected to return to 2012 levels of more than $1 billion. In light of increased attention on food safety issues in China generally, and on poultry supply in particular, as well as recent reports of avian flu in China, further reports relating to either issue could have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations for our China Division. See Item IA “Risk Factors” on page 6 for a discussion of risks relating to food safety and avian flu. Extra Week in 2011 Our fiscal calendar results in a 53rd week every five or six years. Fiscal year 2011 included a 53rd week in the fourth quarter for all our U.S. businesses and certain of our YRI businesses that report on a period, as opposed to a monthly, basis. Our China and India Divisions report on a monthly basis and thus did not have a 53rd week in 2011. See the System Sales Growth section within our MD&A for further discussion on the impact of 53rd week in 2011 on system sales. The following table summarizes the estimated impact of the 53rd week in 2011 on revenues and Operating Profit: revenues Company sales Franchise and license fees total revenues Operating Profit Franchise and license fees Restaurant profit General and administrative expenses Operating Profit(a) U.S. YRI Unallocated Total $ $ $ $ 43 13 56 13 9 (4) 18 $ $ $ $ 29 6 35 6 6 (4) 8 $ $ $ $ — — — — — (1) (1) $ $ $ $ 72 19 91 19 15 (9) 25 (a) The $25 million benefit was offset throughout 2011 by investments, including franchise development incentives, as well as higher-than-normal spending, such as restaurant closures in the U.S. and YRI. Store Portfolio Strategy From time to time we sell Company restaurants to existing and new franchisees where geographic synergies can be obtained or where franchisees’ expertise can generally be leveraged to improve our overall operating performance, while retaining Company ownership of strategic U.S. and international markets in which we choose to continue investing capital. We refranchised 214, 468 and 404 Company restaurants in the U.S. in the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Additionally, in December 2012 we refranchised 331 remaining Company-owned dine-in restaurants in the Pizza Hut UK business. The following table summarizes our worldwide refranchising activities, including amounts characterized as Special Items: Number of units refranchised Refranchising proceeds, pre-tax $ Refranchising (gain) loss, pre-tax $ 2013 286 260 $ 2012 897 364 $ 2011 529 246 (100) $ (78) $ 72 Refranchisings reduce our reported revenues and restaurant profits and increase the importance of system sales growth as a key performance measure. Additionally, G&A expenses will decline and franchise and license expense can increase over time as a result of these refranchising activities. The timing of G&A declines will vary and often lag the actual refranchising activities as the synergies are typically dependent upon the size and geography of the respective deals. G&A expenses included in the tables below reflect only direct G&A expenses that we no longer incurred as a result of stores that were operated by us for all or a portion of the respective previous year and were no longer operated by us as of the last day of the respective current year. The impact on Operating Profit arising from refranchising is the net of (a) the estimated reductions in restaurant profit and G&A expenses and (b) the increase in franchise fees and expenses from the restaurants that have been refranchised. The tables presented below reflect the impacts on Total revenues and on Operating Profit from stores that were operated by us for all or some portion of the respective previous year and were no longer operated by us as of the last day of the respective current year. In these tables, Decreased Company sales and Decreased Restaurant profit represents the amount of Company sales or restaurant profit earned by the refranchised restaurants during the period we owned them in the prior year but did not own them in the current year. Increased Franchise and license fees and income represents the franchise and license fees and rent income from the refranchised restaurants that were recorded by the Company in the current year during periods in which the restaurants were Company stores in the prior year. Increased Franchise and license expenses represent primarily rent and depreciation where we continue to own or lease the underlying property for the refranchised restaurants that were recorded by the Company in the current year during periods in which the restaurants were Company stores in the prior year. 20 YUM!

The IRS has proposed an adjustment to increase the taxable value of rights to intangibles used outside the U.S. that YUM transferred to certain of its foreign subsidiaries. The proposed adjustment would result in approximately $700 million of additional taxes plus net interest to date of approximately $255 million for fiscal years 2004-2006. On January 9, 2013, the Company received an RAR from the IRS for fiscal years 2007 and 2008. As expected, the IRS proposed an adjustment similar to their proposal for 2004-2006 that would result in approximately $270 million of additional taxes plus net interest to date of approximately $40 million for fiscal years 2007 and 2008. Furthermore, the Company expects the IRS to make similar claims for years subsequent to fiscal 2008. The potential additional taxes for 2009 through 2013, computed on a similar basis to the 2004-2008 additional taxes, would be approximately $140 million plus net interest to date of approximately $10 million. For 2013, our effective tax rate, excluding Special Items, increased from 25.8% in 2012 to 28.0% primarily as a result of an incremental provision recorded related to this matter. We believe we have properly reported our taxable income and paid taxes consistent with all applicable laws and intend to vigorously defend our position, including through litigation, if we are unable to settle with the IRS through administrative proceedings. As the final resolution of the proposed adjustments remains uncertain, there can be no assurance that payments due upon final resolution of this issue will not exceed our currently recorded reserve and such payments could have a material adverse effect on our financial position. Additionally, if increases to our reserves are deemed necessary due to future developments related to this issue, such increases could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations as they are recorded. The Company does not expect resolution of this matter within twelve months and cannot predict with certainty the timing of such resolution. 21 YUM!

While there are no licensed units in China, we have excluded from the Worldwide and China totals 7 Company-owned units that are similar to licensed units. There are no licensed units in India. The units excluded offer limited menus and operate in non- traditional locations like malls, airports, gasoline service stations, train stations, subways, convenience stores, stadiums and amusement parks where a full scale traditional outlet would not be practical or efficient. As licensed units have lower average unit sales volumes than our traditional units and our current strategy does not place a significant emphasis on expanding our licensed units, we do not believe that providing further detail of licensed unit activity provides significant or meaningful information at this time. Includes 472 Little Sheep units acquired on February 1, 2012. (b) Multibrand restaurants are included in the totals above. Multibrand conversions increase the sales and points of distribution for the second brand added to a restaurant but do not result in an additional unit count. Similarly, a new multibrand restaurant, while increasing sales and points of distribution for two brands, results in just one additional unit count. 23 YUM!

Accordingly, the India Division’s 2013 results include the months of January through December 2013. Due to the immateriality of the India Division’s results we did not restate the prior year’s operating results for the elimination of this period lag. Therefore, the 2012 results continue to include the months of December 2011 through November 2012. Additionally, the table above compares these months. If we had compared like months in 2013 to 2012, India Division system sales, excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, would have been 2% higher and same-store sales would have been 1% lower versus what is shown above, respectively for the year ended December 28, 2013. (b) For the year ended December 29, 2012, system sales growth includes a 1% and 5% negative impact for YRI and the U.S., respectively, related to the LJS and A&W divestitures and a 3% positive impact for China related to the acquisition of Little Sheep. Combined these items had a 2% net negative impact for Worldwide system sales for the year ended December 29, 2012. Company-Operated Store results The following tables detail the key drivers of the year-over-year changes of Company sales and Restaurant profit for each reportable segment by year. Store portfolio actions represent the net impact of new unit openings, acquisitions, refranchisings and store closures on Company sales or Restaurant profit. The impact of new unit openings and acquisitions represent the actual Company sales or Restaurant profit for the periods the Company operated the restaurants in the current year but did not operate them in the prior year. The impact of refranchisings and store closures represent the actual Company sales or Restaurant profit for the periods in the prior year while the Company operated the restaurants but did not operate them in the current year. The dollar changes in Company Restaurant profit by year were as follows: The impact on Company sales within the Other column primarily represents the impact of same-store sales. The impact on Cost of sales, Cost of labor and Occupancy and other within the Other column represents the impact of same-store sales, as well as the impact of changes in costs such as inflation/ deflation. The impact on costs from same-store sales varies to the extent the same-store sales change is due to a change in pricing, the number of transactions or sales mix.

Net new unit development and the acquisition of 106 stores in Turkey from a franchisee partially offset the decline in Company sales related to refranchising. Significant other factors impacting Company sales and/or Restaurant profit were Company same-store sales growth of 2%, partially offset by higher restaurant operating costs. In 2012, the increase in YRI Company sales and Restaurant profit associated with store portfolio actions was driven by the acquisition of restaurants in South Africa in the fourth quarter of 2011 and net new unit development, partially offset by refranchising. Significant other factors impacting Company sales and/or Restaurant profit were Company same-store sales growth of 3%, which was offset by the combination of higher labor costs and commodity inflation.

In 2012, the decrease in U.S. Company sales and Restaurant profit associated with store portfolio actions was primarily driven by refranchising. Significant other factors impacting Company sales and/or Restaurant profit were same-store sales growth of 5%, including the positive impact of less discounting, combined with the positive impact of sales mix shifts as well as supply chain efficiencies, partially offset by higher restaurant- level incentive compensation costs.

This item includes local taxes, withholding taxes, and shareholder-level taxes, net of foreign tax credits. The favorable impact is primarily attributable to a majority of our income being earned outside the U.S. where tax rates are generally lower than the U.S. rate. In 2012, this benefit was negatively impacted by the repatriation of current year foreign earnings to the U.S. as we recognized additional tax expense, resulting from the related effective tax rate being lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate. In 2011, this benefit was positively impacted by the repatriation of current year foreign earnings as we recognized excess foreign tax credits, resulting from the related effective tax rate being higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate. Adjustments to reserves and prior years. This item includes: (1) changes in tax reserves, including interest thereon, established for potential exposure we may incur if a taxing authority takes a position on a matter contrary to our position; and (2) the effects of reconciling income tax amounts recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Income to amounts reflected on our tax returns, including any adjustments to the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact of certain effects or changes may offset items reflected in the ‘Statutory rate differential attributable to foreign operations’ line. In 2013, this item was negatively impacted by the provision recorded to the continuing dispute with the IRS regarding the valuation of rights to intangibles transferred to certain foreign subsidiaries. See Internal Revenue Service Proposed Adjustments section of Note 17. In 2012, this item was favorably impacted by the resolution of uncertain tax positions in certain foreign jurisdictions. Net benefit from LJS and A&W divestitures. This item includes a one-time $117 million tax benefit, including approximately $8 million state benefit, recognized on the LJS and A&W divestitures in 2011, partially offset by $45 million of valuation allowance, including approximately $4 million state expense related to capital loss carryforwards recognized as a result of the divestitures. In addition, we recorded $32 million of tax benefits on $86 million of pre-tax losses and other costs which resulted in $104 million of total net tax benefits related to the divestitures. Consolidated Cash Flows Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,139 million in 2013 compared to $2,294 million in 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower Operating Profit before Special Items and higher income taxes paid. In 2012, net cash provided by operating activities was $2,294 million compared to $2,170 million in 2011. The increase was primarily driven by higher Operating Profit before Special Items, partially offset by timing of cash payments for operating expenses and higher income taxes paid. Change in valuation allowances. This item relates to changes for deferred tax assets generated or utilized during the current year and changes in our judgment regarding the likelihood of using deferred tax assets that existed at the beginning of the year. The impact of certain changes may offset items reflected in the ‘Statutory rate differential attributable to foreign operations’ line. In 2013, $23 million of net tax expense was driven by $32 million for valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets generated during the current year, partially offset by a $9 million net tax benefit resulting from a change in judgment regarding the future use of certain deferred tax assets that existed at the beginning of the year. In 2012, $14 million of net tax expense was driven by $16 million for valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets generated during the current year, partially offset by a $2 million net tax benefit resulting from a change in judgment regarding the future use of certain deferred tax assets that existed at the beginning of the year. In 2011, $22 million of net tax expense was driven by $15 million for valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets generated during the current year and $7 million of tax expense resulting from a change in judgment regarding the future use of certain foreign deferred tax assets that existed at the beginning of the year. These amounts exclude $45 million in valuation allowance additions related to capital losses recognized as a result of the LJS and A&W divestitures, which are presented within ‘Net Benefit from LJS and A&W divestitures’. Other. This item primarily includes the impact of permanent differences related to current year earnings as well as U.S. tax credits and deductions. In 2013, this item was negatively impacted by the $222 million non-cash impairment of Little Sheep goodwill, which resulted in no related tax benefit. In 2012, this item was positively impacted by a one-time pre-tax gain of $74 million, with no related income tax expense, recognized on our acquisition of additional interest in, and consolidation of Little Sheep. Net cash used in investing activities was $886 million in 2013 compared to $1,005 million in 2012. The decrease was primarily driven by lapping the acquisition of Little Sheep and release of related restricted cash. See Little Sheep Acquisition and Subsequent Impairment section of Note 4. In 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $1,005 million compared to $1,006 million in 2011. The acquisition of Little Sheep, increased capital spending in China and the lapping of proceeds from the 2011 divestitures of LJS and A&W were offset by the release of restricted cash related to the Little Sheep acquisition and higher proceeds from refranchising in 2012. 29 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K Part II Part II Item 7 management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Net cash used in financing activities was $1,451 million in 2013 compared to $1,716 million in 2012. The decrease was primarily driven by lower net debt payments and lower share repurchases in 2013, partially offset by higher dividends paid on common stock and lower tax benefits from share-based compensation. In 2012, net cash used in financing activities was $1,716 million compared to $1,413 million in 2011. The increase was driven by increased share repurchases. Consolidated Financial Condition The changes in our Goodwill and Intangible assets, net are primarily the result of the partial impairment of Little Sheep’s goodwill and trademark. See the Little Sheep Acquisition and Subsequent Impairment section of Note 4. The changes in our Other liabilities and deferred credits and Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are primarily the result of actuarial gains in our U.S. pension plans recognized in 2013. See Note 14. Liquidity and Capital resources Operating in the QSR industry allows us to generate substantial cash flows from the operations of our Company-owned stores and from our extensive franchise operations which require a limited YUM investment. Net cash provided by operating activities has exceeded $1 billion in each of the last twelve fiscal years, including over $2 billion in 2013, 2012 and 2011. We expect these levels of net cash provided by operating activities to continue in the foreseeable future. However, unforeseen downturns in our business could adversely impact our cash flows from operations from the levels historically realized. In the event our cash flows are negatively impacted by business downturns, we believe we have the ability to temporarily reduce our discretionary spending without significant impact to our long-term business prospects. Our discretionary spending includes capital spending for new restaurants, acquisitions of restaurants from franchisees, repurchases of shares of our Common Stock and dividends paid to our shareholders. As of December 28, 2013 we had approximately $1.2 billion in unused capacity under our revolving credit facility that expires in March 2017. China and YRI represented approximately 70% of the Company’s segment operating profit in 2013 and both generate a significant amount of positive cash flows that we have historically used to fund our international development. To the extent we have needed to repatriate international cash to fund our U.S. discretionary cash spending, including share repurchases, dividends and debt repayments, we have historically been able to do so in a tax-efficient manner. If we experience an unforeseen decrease in our cash flows from our U.S. business or are unable to refinance future U.S. debt maturities we may be required to repatriate future international earnings at tax rates higher than we have historically experienced. We currently have investment-grade ratings from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (BBB) and Moody’s Investors Service (Baa3). While we do not anticipate a downgrade in our credit rating, a downgrade would increase the Company’s current borrowing costs and could impact the Company’s ability to access the credit markets cost-effectively if necessary. Based on the amount and composition of our debt at December 28, 2013, which included no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility, our interest expense would not materially increase on a full-year basis should we receive a one-level downgrade in our ratings. Discretionary Spending During 2013, we invested $1,049 million in capital spending, including $568 million in China, $289 million in YRI, $161 million in the U.S. and $31 million in India. For 2014, we estimate capital spending will be approximately $1.2 billion. During the year ended December 28, 2013 we repurchased shares for $750 million, which excluded the effect of $20 million in shares repurchased with trade dates prior to the 2012 fiscal year end but cash settlement dates subsequent to the 2012 fiscal year. On November 16, 2012 our Board of Directors authorized share repurchases through May 2014 of up to $1 billion (excluding applicable transaction fees) of our outstanding Common Stock. On November 22, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized additional share repurchases through May 2015 of up to $750 million (excluding applicable transaction fees) of our outstanding Common Stock. At December 28, 2013, we had remaining capacity to repurchase up to $953 million of outstanding Common Stock (excluding applicable transaction fees) under these authorizations. Shares are repurchased opportunistically as part of our regular capital structure decisions. During the year ended December 28, 2013, we paid cash dividends of $615 million. Additionally, on November 22, 2013 our Board of Directors approved cash dividends of $0.37 per share of Common Stock that were distributed on February 7, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on January 17, 2014. The Company targets an ongoing annual dividend payout ratio of 35% to 40% of net income. Borrowing Capacity Our primary bank credit agreement comprises a $1.3 billion syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) which matures in March 2017 and includes 24 participating banks with commitments ranging from $23 million to $115 million. We believe the syndication reduces our dependency on any one bank. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we may borrow up to the maximum borrowing limit, less outstanding letters of credit or banker’s acceptances, where applicable. At December 28, 2013, our unused Credit Facility totaled $1.2 billion net of outstanding letters of credit of $65 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility at December 28, 2013. The interest rate for most borrowings under the Credit Facility ranges from 1.0% to 1.75% over the “London Interbank Offered Rate” (“LIBOR”). The exact spread over LIBOR under the Credit Facility depends upon our performance against specified financial criteria. Interest on any outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility is payable at least quarterly. The Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by our principal domestic subsidiaries. This agreement contains financial covenants relating to maintenance of leverage and fixed-charge coverage ratios and also contains affirmative and negative covenants including, among other things, limitations on certain additional indebtedness and liens, and certain other transactions specified in the agreement. Given the Company’s strong balance sheet and cash flows we were able to comply with all debt covenant requirements at December 28, 2013 with a considerable amount of cushion. Additionally, the Credit Facility contains cross-default provisions whereby our failure to make any payment on our indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of $125 million, or the acceleration of the maturity of any such indebtedness, will constitute a default under such agreement. 30 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart II Part II Item 7 management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The majority of our remaining long-term debt primarily comprises Senior Unsecured Notes with varying maturity dates from 2014 through 2043 and interest rates ranging from 2.38% to 6.88%. The Senior Unsecured Notes represent senior, unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness. Amounts outstanding under Senior Unsecured Notes were $2.8 billion at December 28, 2013. Our Senior Unsecured Notes provide that the acceleration of the maturity of any of our indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of $50 million will constitute a default under the Senior Unsecured Notes if such acceleration is not annulled, or such indebtedness is not discharged, within 30 days after notice. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we issued $325 million aggregate principal amount of 3.88% 10 year Senior Unsecured Notes and $275 million aggregate principal amount of 5.35% 30 year Senior Unsecured Notes. We used the proceeds from our issuances of these Senior Unsecured Notes in part to repurchase certain of our Senior Unsecured Notes due March 2018 and November 2037 with principal amounts of $275 million each totaling $550 million. See Significant Known Events, Trends or Uncertainties Impacting or Expected to Impact Comparisons of Reported or Future Results and Note 10 for information on the Repurchase of those Senior Unsecured Notes. Contractual Obligations In addition to any discretionary spending we may choose to make, our significant contractual obligations and payments as of December 28, 2013 included: Long-term debt obligations(a) Capital leases(b) Operating leases(b) Purchase obligations(c) Deferred compensation and unfunded benefit plans(d) TOTAL CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS Total 4,300 $ 276 5,697 784 Less than 1 Year 186 $ 18 721 604 160 11,217 $ 21 1,550 $ 1-3 Years 3-5 Years 791 $ 38 1,299 87 33 2,248 $ 529 $ 34 1,084 55 29 1,731 $ More than 5 Years 2,794 186 2,593 38 77 5,688 $ $ (a) Debt amounts include principal maturities and expected interest payments on a nominal basis. Debt amounts exclude a fair value adjustment of $14 million related to interest rate swaps that hedge the fair value of a portion of our debt. See Note 10. (b) These obligations, which are shown on a nominal basis, relate to nearly 7,300 restaurants. See Note 11. (c) Purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. We have excluded agreements that are cancelable without penalty. Purchase obligations relate primarily to information technology, marketing, supply agreements, purchases of property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) as well as consulting, maintenance and other agreements. Includes actuarially determined timing of payments from our most significant unfunded pension plan as well as scheduled payments from our deferred compensation plan. This table excludes $113 million of future benefit payments for deferred compensation and other unfunded benefit plans to be paid upon separation of employee’s service or retirement from the company, as we cannot reasonably estimate the dates of these future cash payments. (d) We have not included in the contractual obligations table approximately $224 million of long-term liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits relating to various tax positions we have taken. These liabilities may increase or decrease over time as a result of tax examinations, and given the status of the examinations, we cannot reliably estimate the period of any cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities. These liabilities exclude amounts that are temporary in nature and for which we anticipate that over time there will be no net cash outflow. We sponsor noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain salaried and hourly employees, the most significant of which are in the U.S. and UK. The most significant of the U.S. plans, the YUM Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), is funded while benefits from our other significant U.S. plan are paid by the Company as incurred. Our funding policy for the Plan is to contribute annually amounts that will at least equal the minimum amounts required to comply with the Pension Protection Act of 2006. However, additional voluntary contributions are made from time to time to improve the Plan’s funded status. At December 28, 2013 the Plan was in a net overfunded position of $10 million. The UK pension plans are in a net overfunded position of $33 million at our 2013 measurement date. Based on the current funding status of the Plan and our UK pension plans, we currently estimate that we will not be required to make any contributions in 2014. Investment performance and corporate bond rates have a significant effect on our net funding position as they drive our asset balances and discount rate assumption. Future changes in investment performance and corporate bond rates could impact our funded status and the timing and amounts of required contributions in 2014 and beyond. Our post-retirement plan in the U.S. is not required to be funded in advance, but is pay as you go. We made post-retirement benefit payments of $7 million in 2013 and no future funding amounts are included in the contractual obligations table. See Note 14 for further details about our pension and post-retirement plans. We have excluded from the contractual obligations table payments we may make for exposures for which we are self-insured, including workers’ compensation, employment practices liability, general liability, automobile liability, product liability and property losses (collectively “property and casualty losses”) and employee healthcare and long-term disability claims. The majority of our recorded liability for self-insured property and casualty losses and employee healthcare and long-term disability claims represents estimated reserves for incurred claims that have yet to be filed or settled. Off-Balance Sheet arrangements We have agreed to provide financial support, if required, to a variable interest entity that operates a franchisee lending program used primarily to assist franchisees in the development of new restaurants or the upgrade of existing restaurants and, to a lesser extent, in connection with the Company’s refranchising programs in the U.S. We have provided guarantees of approximately $35 million in support of the franchisee loan program at December 28, 2013. The total loans outstanding under the loan pool were $38 million with an additional $42 million available for lending at December 28, 2013. Our unconsolidated affiliates had approximately $85 million and $60 million of debt outstanding as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. 31 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K Part II Part II Item 7 management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations New accounting Pronouncements Not Yet adopted In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters, (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (ASU 2013-05), to resolve a diversity in accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment of foreign currency upon derecognition of a foreign subsidiary or group of assets. ASU 2013-05 requires the parent to apply the guidance in Subtopic 830-30 to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. Further, ASU 2013-05 clarified that the parent should apply the guidance in Subtopic 810-10 if there is a sale of an investment in a foreign entity, including both (1) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity and (2) events that result in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon the occurrence of those events. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for the Company in our first quarter of fiscal 2014. We do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11), to require that in certain cases, an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward when such items exist in the same taxing jurisdiction. ASU 2013-11 is effective for the Company in our first quarter of fiscal 2014. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date, and retrospective application is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting Policies and Estimates Our reported results are impacted by the application of certain accounting policies that require us to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve estimations of the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact our quarterly or annual results of operations or financial condition. Changes in the estimates and judgments could significantly affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in future years. A description of what we consider to be our most significant critical accounting policies follows. Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived assets We review long-lived assets of restaurants (primarily PP&E and allocated intangible assets subject to amortization) semi-annually for impairment, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a restaurant may not be recoverable. We evaluate recoverability based on the restaurant’s forecasted undiscounted cash flows, which incorporate our best estimate of sales growth and margin improvement based upon our plans for the unit and actual results at comparable restaurants. For restaurant assets that are deemed to not be recoverable, we write down the impaired restaurant to its estimated fair value. Key assumptions in the determination of fair value are the future after-tax cash flows of the restaurant, which are reduced by future royalties a franchisee would pay, and a discount rate. The after-tax cash flows incorporate reasonable sales growth and margin improvement assumptions that would be used by a franchisee in the determination of a purchase price for the restaurant. Estimates of future cash flows are highly subjective judgments and can be significantly impacted by changes in the business or economic conditions. We perform an impairment evaluation at a restaurant group level if it is more likely than not that we will refranchise restaurants as a group. Expected net sales proceeds are generally based on actual bids from the buyer, if available, or anticipated bids given the discounted projected after-tax cash flows for the group of restaurants. Historically, these anticipated bids have been reasonably accurate estimations of the proceeds ultimately received. The after-tax cash flows used in determining the anticipated bids incorporate reasonable assumptions we believe a franchisee would make such as sales growth and margin improvement as well as expectations as to the useful lives of the restaurant assets, including a deduction for the anticipated, future royalties we would receive under a franchise agreement with terms substantially at market entered into simultaneously with the refranchising transaction. The discount rate used in the fair value calculations is our estimate of the required rate of return that a franchisee would expect to receive when purchasing a similar restaurant or groups of restaurants and the related long-lived assets. The discount rate incorporates rates of returns for historical refranchising market transactions and is commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the forecasted cash flows. We evaluate indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates impairment might exist. We perform our annual test for impairment of our indefinite-lived intangible assets at the beginning of our fourth quarter. We may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying value. If a qualitative assessment is not performed, or if as a result of a qualitative assessment it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, then the asset’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. Fair value is an estimate of the price a willing buyer would pay for the intangible asset and is generally estimated by discounting the expected future after-tax cash flows associated with the intangible asset. Our most significant indefinite-lived intangible asset is our Little Sheep trademark. We wrote down the Little Sheep trademark from $414 million to $345 million as a result of an impairment charge of $69 million recorded in the quarter ended September 7, 2013. See the Little Sheep Acquisition and Subsequent Impairment section of Note 4 for details. No additional indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment was recorded as a result of our annual testing at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The fair value of the Little Sheep trademark was based on the estimated price a willing buyer would pay for the asset, and was determined using a relief from royalty valuation approach that included future estimated sales as a significant input. This fair value incorporated a discount rate of 13% as our estimate of the required rate of return that a third-party buyer would expect to receive when purchasing the Little Sheep trademark. While future business results are difficult to predict, we believe the decline in Little Sheep same-store sales and profit that were deemed an impairment indicator will be reversed over time and significant new unit development will take place. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the Little Sheep trademark assumed that the business will recover to pre-acquisition average unit sales volumes and profit over the next three years. At such pre-acquisition sales and profit levels, we believe that the Little Sheep 32 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart II Part II Item 7 management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations restaurant-level unit economics will support the new unit development we assumed in the fair value estimation of the trademark. Long-term average growth assumptions subsequent to this assumed recovery include same-store sales growth of 4% and average annual net unit growth of approximately 75 units. See Note 2 for a further discussion of our policies regarding the impairment or disposal of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Impairment of Goodwill We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates impairment might exist. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment by determining whether the fair value of our reporting units exceed their carrying values. Our reporting units are our operating segments in the U.S., our YRI business units (which are aligned based on geography) and individual brands in our India and China Divisions. We may elect to perform a qualitative assessment for our reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value. If a qualitative assessment is not performed, or if as a result of a qualitative assessment it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then the reporting unit’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. Fair value is the price a willing buyer would pay for the reporting unit, and is generally estimated using discounted expected future after-tax cash flows from Company-owned restaurant operations and franchise royalties. Future cash flow estimates and the discount rate are the key assumptions when estimating the fair value of a reporting unit. Future cash flows are based on growth expectations relative to recent historical performance and incorporate sales growth and margin improvement assumptions that we believe a third-party buyer would assume when determining a purchase price for the reporting unit. The sales growth and margin improvement assumptions that factor into the discounted cash flows are highly correlated as cash flow growth can be achieved through various interrelated strategies such as product pricing and restaurant productivity initiatives. The discount rate is our estimate of the required rate of return that a third-party buyer would expect to receive when purchasing a business from us that constitutes a reporting unit. We believe the discount rate is commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the forecasted cash flows. We perform our annual goodwill impairment review as of the beginning of our fourth quarter. Other than the Little Sheep reporting unit discussed below, the fair values of each of our other reporting units were substantially in excess of their respective carrying values as of the 2013 goodwill impairment testing date. Our most significant goodwill balance is attributed to our Little Sheep reporting unit. We wrote down Little Sheep’s goodwill from $384 million to $162 million as a result of an impairment charge of $222 million recorded in the quarter ended September 7, 2013. See the Little Sheep Acquisition and Subsequent Impairment section of Note 4 for details on this impairment. No additional impairment was recorded as a result of our annual impairment review performed at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2013. The fair value of the Little Sheep reporting unit was based on the estimated price a willing buyer would pay, and was determined using an income approach with future cash flow estimates generated by the business as a significant input. Future cash flow estimates are impacted by new unit development, sales growth and margin improvement. This fair value incorporated a discount rate of 13% as our estimate of the required rate of return that a third-party buyer would expect to receive when purchasing the Little Sheep reporting unit. While future business results are difficult to predict, we believe the decline in Little Sheep same-store sales and profits that were deemed an impairment indicator will be reversed over time and significant new unit development will take place. As such, the inputs used in determining the fair value of the Little Sheep reporting unit assumed that the business will recover to pre-acquisition average unit sales volumes and profit levels over the next three years. At such pre-acquisition sales and profit levels, we believe that the Little Sheep restaurant-level unit economics will support the new unit development we assumed in the fair value estimation of the reporting unit. Long-term average growth assumptions subsequent to this assumed recovery include same-store sales growth of 4% and average annual net unit growth of approximately 75 units. When we refranchise restaurants, we include goodwill in the carrying amount of the restaurants disposed of based on the relative fair values of the portion of the reporting unit disposed of in the refranchising versus the portion of the reporting unit that will be retained. The fair value of the portion of the reporting unit disposed of in a refranchising is determined by reference to the discounted value of the future cash flows expected to be generated by the restaurant and retained by the franchisee, which include a deduction for the anticipated, future royalties the franchisee will pay us associated with the franchise agreement entered into simultaneously with the refranchising transaction. Appropriate adjustments are made to the fair value determinations if such franchise agreement is determined to not be at prevailing market rates. When determining whether such franchise agreement is at prevailing market rates our primary consideration is consistency with the terms of our current franchise agreements both within the country that the restaurants are being refranchised in and around the world. The Company believes consistency in royalty rates as a percentage of sales is appropriate as the Company and franchisee share in the impact of near-term fluctuations in sales results with the acknowledgment that over the long-term the royalty rate represents an appropriate rate for both parties. The discounted value of the future cash flows expected to be generated by the restaurant and retained by the franchisee is reduced by future royalties the franchisee will pay the Company. The Company thus considers the fair value of future royalties to be received under the franchise agreement as fair value retained in its determination of the goodwill to be written off when refranchising. Others may consider the fair value of these future royalties as fair value disposed of and thus would conclude that a larger percentage of a reporting unit’s fair value is disposed of in a refranchising transaction. During 2013, the Company’s most significant refranchising activity was within our Taco Bell U.S. operating segment, where 178 restaurants were refranchised (representing 17% of beginning-of-year company units) and $4 million in goodwill was written off (representing 4% of beginning-of- year goodwill). See Note 2 for a further discussion of our policies regarding goodwill. allowances for Franchise and License receivables/Guarantees Franchise and license receivable balances include continuing fees, initial fees, rent and other ancillary receivables such as fees for support services. Our reserve for franchisee or licensee receivable balances is based upon pre-defined aging criteria or upon the occurrence of other events that indicate that we may not collect the balance due. This methodology results in an immaterial amount of unreserved past due receivable balances at December 28, 2013. As such, we believe our allowance for franchise and license receivables is adequate to cover potential exposure from uncollectible receivable balances at December 28, 2013. We issue certain guarantees on behalf of franchisees primarily as a result of 1) assigning our interest in obligations under operating leases, primarily as a condition to the refranchising of certain Company restaurants, 2) facilitating franchisee development and 3) equipment financing arrangements to facilitate the launch of new sales layers by franchisees. We recognize a liability for the fair value of such guarantees upon inception of the guarantee and upon any subsequent modification, such as franchise lease renewals, when we remain contingently liable. The fair value of a guarantee is the estimated amount at which the liability could be settled in a current transaction between willing unrelated parties. 33 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart II Part II Item 7 management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The present value of the minimum payments of the assigned leases, discounted at our pre-tax cost of debt, is approximately $625 million at December 28, 2013. Current franchisees are the primary lessees under the vast majority of these leases. Additionally, we have guaranteed approximately $40 million of franchisee loans for various programs. We generally have cross-default provisions with these franchisees that would put them in default of their franchise agreement in the event of non-payment under assigned leases and certain of the loan programs. We believe these cross-default provisions significantly reduce the risk that we will be required to make payments under these guarantees and, historically, we have not been required to make significant payments for guarantees. If payment on these guarantees becomes probable and estimable, we record a liability for our exposure under these guarantees. At December 28, 2013 we have recorded an immaterial liability for our probable exposure under these guarantees. If we begin to be required to perform under these guarantees to a greater extent, our results of operations could be negatively impacted. See Note 2 for a further discussion of our policies regarding franchise and license operations. See Note 19 for a further discussion of our guarantees. Self-Insured Property and Casualty Losses We record our best estimate of the remaining cost to settle incurred self- insured workers’ compensation, employment practices liability, general liability, automobile liability, product liability and property losses (collectively “property and casualty losses”). The estimate is based on the results of an independent actuarial study and considers historical claim frequency and severity as well as changes in factors such as our business environment, benefit levels, medical costs and the regulatory environment that could impact overall self-insurance costs. Additionally, our reserve includes a risk margin to cover unforeseen events that may occur over the several years required to settle claims, increasing our confidence level that the recorded reserve is adequate. See Note 19 for a further discussion of our insurance programs. Pension Plans Certain of our employees are covered under defined benefit pension plans. Our two most significant plans are in the U.S. and combined had a projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) of $1,025 million and a fair value of plan assets of $933 million at December 28, 2013. The PBO reflects the actuarial present value of all benefits earned to date by employees and incorporates assumptions as to future compensation levels. Due to the relatively long time frame over which benefits earned to date are expected to be paid, our PBOs are highly sensitive to changes in discount rates. For our U.S. plans, we measured our PBOs using a discount rate of 5.4% at December 28, 2013. This discount rate was determined with the assistance of our independent actuary. The primary basis for our discount rate determination is a model that consists of a hypothetical portfolio of ten or more corporate debt instruments rated Aa or higher by Moody’s or S&P with cash flows that mirror our expected benefit payment cash flows under the plans. We exclude from the model those corporate debt instruments flagged by Moody’s or S&P for a potential downgrade (if the potential downgrade would result in a rating below Aa by both Moody’s and S&P) and bonds with yields that were two standard deviations or more above the mean. In considering possible bond portfolios, the model allows the bond cash flows for a particular year to exceed the expected benefit cash flows for that year. Such excesses are assumed to be reinvested at appropriate one-year forward rates and used to meet the benefit payment cash flows in a future year. The weighted-average yield of this hypothetical portfolio was used to arrive at an appropriate discount rate. We also ensure that changes in the discount rate as compared to the prior year are consistent with the overall change in prevailing market rates and make adjustments as necessary. A 50 basis- point increase in this discount rate would have decreased our U.S. plans’ PBOs by approximately $70 million at our measurement date. Conversely, a 50 basis-point decrease in this discount rate would have increased our U.S. plans’ PBOs by approximately $79 million at our measurement date. The pension expense we will record in 2014 is also impacted by the discount rate we selected at our measurement date. We expect pension expense for our U.S. plans to decrease approximately $60 million in 2014. The decrease is primarily driven by a decrease in amortization of net loss due to lower net unrecognized losses in Accumulated other comprehensive income as well as lapping pension settlement charges from 2013, including settlement charges allocated to Special Items of $10 million. Lower net unrecognized losses in Accumulated other comprehensive income are primarily a result of a higher discount rate at our 2013 measurement date. A 50 basis-point change in our discount rate assumption at our measurement date would impact our 2014 U.S. pension expense by approximately $9 million. The assumption we make regarding our expected long-term rates of return on plan assets also impacts our pension expense. Our estimated long-term rate of return on U.S. plan assets is based upon the weighted- average of historical returns for each asset category. Our expected long- term rate of return on U.S. plan assets, for purposes of determining 2014 pension expense, at December 28, 2013 was 6.9%. We believe this rate is appropriate given the composition of our plan assets and historical market returns thereon. A one percentage-point change in our expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption would impact our 2014 U.S. pension expense by approximately $8 million. A decrease in discount rates over time has largely contributed to an unrecognized pre-tax actuarial net loss of $119 million included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the U.S. plans at December 28, 2013. For purposes of determining 2013 pension expense, we recognized $48 million of net loss in net periodic benefit cost. We will recognize approximately $17 million of such loss in 2014. See Note 14 for further discussion of our pension plans. Stock Options and Stock appreciation rights Part IIExpense Compensation expense for stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Note 15 for details of the risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected volatility and expected dividend yield used in valuing these awards. Additionally, we estimate pre-vesting forfeitures for purposes of determining compensation expense to be recognized. Future expense amounts for any particular quarterly or annual period could be affected by changes in our assumptions or changes in market conditions. We have determined that it is appropriate to group our stock option and SAR awards into two homogeneous groups when estimating expected term and pre-vesting forfeitures. These groups consist of grants made primarily to restaurant-level employees under our Restaurant General Manager Stock Option Plan (the “RGM Plan”) and grants made to executives under our other stock award plans. Historically, less than 10% of total options and SARs granted have been made under the RGM Plan. Stock option and SAR grants under the RGM Plan typically cliff-vest after four years and grants made to executives under our other stock award plans typically have a graded vesting schedule and vest 25% per year over four years. We use a single weighted-average expected term for our awards that have a graded vesting schedule. We re-evaluate our expected term assumptions using historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior on a regular basis. We have determined that 5 years and 6.25 years are appropriate expected terms for awards to restaurant- level employees and to executives, respectively. Upon each significant stock award grant we re-evaluate the expected volatility, including consideration of both historical volatility of our common stock as well as implied volatility associated with our publicly traded options. We have estimated pre-vesting forfeitures based on historical data. Based 34 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart II Part II Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About market Risk on such data, we believe that approximately 50% of all awards granted under the RGM Plan will be forfeited and approximately 20% of all awards granted to above-store executives will be forfeited. Income taxes At December 28, 2013, we had valuation allowances of approximately $200 million to reduce our $1.0 billion of deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. The net deferred tax assets primarily relate to temporary differences in profitable U.S. federal and state and foreign jurisdictions, net operating losses in certain foreign jurisdictions, the majority of which do not expire, and U.S. foreign tax credit carryovers that expire 10 years from inception and for which we anticipate having foreign earnings to utilize. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we consider future taxable income in the various jurisdictions as well as carryforward periods and restrictions on usage. The estimation of future taxable income in these jurisdictions and our resulting ability to utilize deferred tax assets can significantly change based on future events, including our determinations as to feasibility of certain tax planning strategies. Thus, recorded valuation allowances may be subject to material future changes. As a matter of course, we are regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. We recognize the benefit of positions taken or expected to be taken in our tax returns in our Income Tax Provision when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by these tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon settlement. At December 28, 2013 we had $243 million of unrecognized tax benefits, $170 million of which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. We evaluate unrecognized tax benefits, including interest thereon, on a quarterly basis to ensure that they have been appropriately adjusted for events, including audit settlements, which may impact our ultimate payment for such exposures. Additionally, we have not provided deferred tax for investments in foreign subsidiaries where the carrying values for financial reporting exceed the tax basis, totaling approximately $2.6 billion at December 28, 2013, as we believe the excess is essentially permanently invested. If our intentions regarding the duration of these investments change, deferred tax may need to be provided on this excess that could materially impact the provision for income taxes. See Note 17 for a further discussion of our income taxes. ItEM Part II7a Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market risk The Company is exposed to financial market risks associated with interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. In the normal course of business and in accordance with our policies, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, which may include the use of financial and commodity derivative instruments to hedge our underlying exposures. Our policies prohibit the use of derivative instruments for trading purposes, and we have processes in place to monitor and control their use. Interest rate risk We have a market risk exposure to changes in interest rates, principally in the U.S. We attempt to minimize this risk and lower our overall borrowing costs on a portion of our debt through the utilization of derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps. These swaps are entered into with financial institutions and have reset dates and critical terms that match those of the underlying debt. Accordingly, any change in fair value associated with interest rate swaps is offset by the opposite impact on the related debt. At both December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 a hypothetical 100 basis-point increase in short-term interest rates would result, over the following twelve-month period, in a reduction of approximately $3 million in income before income taxes. The estimated reductions are based Foreign Currency Exchange rate risk upon the current level of variable rate debt and assume no changes in the volume or composition of that debt and include no impact from interest income related to cash and cash equivalents. In addition, the fair value of our derivative financial instruments at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 would decrease approximately $7 million and $10 million, respectively, as a result of the same hypothetical 100 basis-point increase and the fair value of our Senior Unsecured Notes at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 would decrease approximately $185 million and $225 million, respectively. Fair value was determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows considering the risks involved and using discount rates appropriate for the duration. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact the translation of our reported foreign currency denominated earnings, cash flows and net investments in foreign operations and the fair value of our foreign currency denominated financial instruments. Historically, we have chosen not to hedge foreign currency risks related to our foreign currency denominated earnings and cash flows through the use of financial instruments. We attempt to minimize the exposure related to our net investments in foreign operations by financing those investments with local currency debt when practical. In addition, we attempt to minimize the exposure related to foreign currency denominated financial instruments by purchasing goods and services from third parties in local currencies when practical. Consequently, foreign currency denominated financial instruments consist primarily of intercompany short-term receivables and payables. At times, we utilize forward contracts to reduce our exposure related to these intercompany short-term receivables and payables. The notional amount and maturity dates of these contracts match those of the underlying receivables or payables such that our foreign currency exchange risk related to these instruments is minimized. 35 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data The combined Operating Profits of China, YRI and India constitute approximately 70% of our segment Operating Profit in 2013. In addition, the Company’s foreign currency net asset exposure (defined as foreign currency assets less foreign currency liabilities) totaled approximately $4.2 billion as of December 28, 2013. Operating in international markets exposes the Company to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s primary exposures result from our operations in Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas. For the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 Operating Profit would have decreased approximately $155 million if all foreign currencies had uniformly weakened 10% relative to the U.S. dollar. This estimated reduction assumes no changes in sales volumes or local currency sales or input prices. Commodity Price risk We are subject to volatility in food costs as a result of market risk associated with commodity prices. Our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing is, at times, limited by the competitive environment in which we operate. We manage our exposure to this risk primarily through pricing agreements with our vendors.

Brands, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of YUM! Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries (YUM) as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended December 28, 2013. We also have audited YUM’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. YUM’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Item 9A, “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on YUM’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of YUM as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended December 28, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, YUM maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. /s/ KPMG LLP Louisville, Kentucky February 18, 2014 37 YUM!

BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Part II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (Tabular amounts in millions, except share data) NOtE 1 Description of Business YUM! Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “YUM” or the “Company”) comprise primarily the worldwide operations of its KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (collectively the “Concepts”). YUM has over 40,000 units of which 55% are located outside the U.S. in more than 125 countries and territories. YUM was created as an independent, publicly-owned company on October 6, 1997 via a tax-free distribution by our former parent, PepsiCo, Inc., of our Common Stock to its shareholders. References to YUM throughout these Consolidated Financial Statements are made using the first person notations of “we,” “us” or “our.” Through our widely-recognized Concepts, we develop, operate, franchise and license a system of both traditional and non-traditional quick service restaurants. Each Concept has proprietary menu items and emphasizes the preparation of food with high quality ingredients as well as unique recipes and special seasonings to provide appealing, convenient, tasty and attractive food at competitive prices. Our traditional restaurants feature dine-in, carryout and, in some instances, drive-thru or delivery service. Non-traditional units, which are principally licensed outlets, include express units and kiosks which have a more limited menu and operate in non-traditional locations like malls, airports, gasoline service stations, train stations, subways, convenience stores, stadiums, amusement parks and colleges, where a full-scale traditional outlet would not be practical or efficient. We also operate multibrand units, where two or more of our Concepts are operated in a single unit. As of and through December 28, 2013, YUM consisted of six operating segments: YUM Restaurants China (“China” or “China Division”), YUM Restaurants International (“YRI” or “International Division”), KFC U.S., Pizza Hut U.S., Taco Bell U.S., and YUM Restaurants India (“India” or “India Division”). The China Division includes mainland China, and the India Division includes India, Bangladesh, Mauritius, Nepal and Sri Lanka. YRI includes the remainder of our international operations. For financial reporting purposes, management considers the three U.S. operating segments to be similar and, therefore, has aggregated them into a single reportable operating segment (“U.S.”). As a result of changes to our management reporting structure, in 2012 we began reporting information for our India business as a standalone reporting segment separated from YRI. While our consolidated results are not impacted, our historical segment information has been restated to be consistent with the current period presentation. In December 2011 we sold our Long John Silver’s (“LJS”) and A&W All American Food Restaurants (“A&W”) brands to key franchise leaders and strategic investors in separate transactions. The results for these businesses through the sale date are included in the Company’s results for 2011. In the first quarter of 2014, we will combine our YRI and U.S. businesses and begin reporting segment information for three global divisions: KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. China and India will remain separate reporting segments due to their strategic importance and growth potential. This new structure is designed to drive greater global brand focus, enabling us to more effectively share know-how and accelerate growth. While our consolidated results will not be impacted, we will restate our historical segment information during 2014 for consistent presentation. NOtE Part II2 Summary of Significant accounting Policies Our preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. them to which we are a party. At the end of 2013, YUM has future lease payments due from franchisees, on a nominal basis, of approximately $400 million. As our franchise and license arrangements provide our franchisee and licensee entities the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance, we do not consider ourselves the primary beneficiary of any such entity that might otherwise be considered a VIE. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Preparation. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, the usual condition of which is ownership of a majority voting interest. We also consider for consolidation an entity, in which we have certain interests, where the controlling financial interest may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. Such an entity, known as a variable interest entity (“VIE”), is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that possesses the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are significant to it. Our most significant variable interests are in entities that operate restaurants under our Concepts’ franchise and license arrangements. We do not generally have an equity interest in our franchisee or licensee businesses with the exception of certain entities in China as discussed below. Additionally, we do not typically provide significant financial support such as loans or guarantees to our franchisees and licensees. However, we do have variable interests in certain franchisees through real estate lease arrangements with See Note 19 for additional information on an entity that operates a franchise lending program that is a VIE in which we have a variable interest but for which we are not the primary beneficiary and thus do not consolidate. Certain investments in entities that operate KFCs in China are accounted for by the equity method. These entities are not VIEs and our lack of majority voting rights precludes us from controlling these affiliates. Thus, we do not consolidate these affiliates, instead accounting for them under the equity method. Our share of the net income or loss of those unconsolidated affiliates is included in Other (income) expense. On February 1, 2012, we acquired an additional 66% interest in Little Sheep Group Limited (“Little Sheep”), increasing our ownership to 93%. As a result, we began consolidating this business, which was previously accounted for using the equity method. See Note 4 for a further description of the accounting upon acquisition of additional interest in Little Sheep. A meat processing entity affiliated with our Little Sheep business is accounted for by the equity method. We report Net income attributable to non-controlling interests, which includes the minority shareholders of the entities that operate the KFCs in Beijing and Shanghai, China and the minority shareholders of Little 43 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Sheep, separately on the face of our Consolidated Statements of Income. The portion of equity not attributable to the Company for KFC Beijing and KFC Shanghai is reported within equity, separately from the Company’s equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The shareholder that owns the remaining 7% ownership interest in Little Sheep holds an option that, if exercised, requires us to redeem their non-controlling interest. Redemption may occur any time after the third anniversary of the acquisition. This Redeemable non-controlling interest is classified outside permanent equity and recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the non-controlling interest’s share of net income (loss), or its redemption value. We participate in various advertising cooperatives with our franchisees and licensees established to collect and administer funds contributed for use in advertising and promotional programs designed to increase sales and enhance the reputation of the Company and its franchise owners. Contributions to the advertising cooperatives are required for both Company-owned and franchise restaurants and are generally based on a percentage of restaurant sales. We maintain certain variable interests in these cooperatives. As the cooperatives are required to spend all funds collected on advertising and promotional programs, total equity at risk is not sufficient to permit the cooperatives to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support. Therefore, these cooperatives are VIEs. As a result of our voting rights, we consolidate certain of these cooperatives for which we are the primary beneficiary. The Advertising cooperatives assets, consisting primarily of cash received from the Company and franchisees and accounts receivable from franchisees, can only be used to settle obligations of the respective cooperative. The Advertising cooperative liabilities represent the corresponding obligation arising from the receipt of the contributions to purchase advertising and promotional programs for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiary. Therefore, we report all assets and liabilities of these advertising cooperatives that we consolidate as Advertising cooperative assets, restricted and Advertising cooperative liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As the contributions to these cooperatives are designated and segregated for advertising, we act as an agent for the franchisees and licensees with regard to these contributions. Thus, we do not reflect franchisee and licensee contributions to these cooperatives in our Consolidated Statements of Income or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Fiscal Year. Our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in December and, as a result, a 53rd week is added every five or six years. The first three quarters of each fiscal year consist of 12 weeks and the fourth quarter consists of 16 weeks in fiscal years with 52 weeks and 17 weeks in fiscal years with 53 weeks. Our subsidiaries operate on similar fiscal calendars except that China, India and certain other international subsidiaries operate on a monthly calendar, and thus never have a 53rd week, with two months in the first quarter, three months in the second and third quarters and four months in the fourth quarter. YRI closes one period earlier to facilitate consolidated reporting. Fiscal year 2011 included 53 weeks for our U.S. businesses and a portion of our YRI business. The 53rd week in 2011 added $91 million to total revenues, $15 million to Restaurant profit and $25 million to Operating Profit in our 2011 Consolidated Statement of Income. The $25 million benefit was offset throughout 2011 by investments, including franchise development incentives, as well as higher-than-normal spending, such as restaurant closures in the U.S. and YRI. Foreign Currency. The functional currency of our foreign entities is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Functional currency determinations are made based upon a number of economic factors, including but not limited to cash flows and financing transactions. The operations, assets and liabilities of our entities outside the United States are initially measured using the functional currency of that entity. Income and expense accounts for our operations of these foreign entities are then translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities of these foreign entities are then translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. As of December 28, 2013, net cumulative 44 translation adjustment gains of $170 million are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As we manage and share resources at either the country level for all of our brands in a country or, for some countries in which we have more significant operations, at the individual brand level within the country, cumulative translation adjustments are recorded and tracked at the foreign- entity level that represents either our entire operations within a country or the operations of our individual brands within that country. Translation adjustments recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are subsequently recognized as income or expense generally only upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of the related investment in a foreign entity. For purposes of determining whether a sale or complete or substantially complete liquidation of an investment in a foreign entity has occurred, we consider those same foreign entities for which we record and track cumulative translation adjustments. Restaurant closures and refranchising transactions during the periods presented constituted disposals or sales of assets within our foreign entities and thus did not result in any translation adjustments being recognized as income or expense. The adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters, (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, in 2014 is not anticipated to have a significant impact on our accounting for foreign currency matters. Gains and losses arising from the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on transactions in foreign currency are included in Other (income) expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income. reclassifications. We have reclassified certain items in the Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported Net Income – YUM! Brands, Inc. Franchise and License Operations. We execute franchise or license agreements for each unit operated by third parties which set out the terms of our arrangement with the franchisee or licensee. Our franchise and license agreements typically require the franchisee or licensee to pay an initial, non-refundable fee and continuing fees based upon a percentage of sales. Subject to our approval and their payment of a renewal fee, a franchisee may generally renew the franchise agreement upon its expiration. The internal costs we incur to provide support services to our franchisees and licensees are charged to General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses as incurred. Certain direct costs of our franchise and license operations are charged to franchise and license expenses. These costs include provisions for estimated uncollectible fees, rent or depreciation expense associated with restaurants we lease or sublease to franchisees, franchise and license marketing funding, amortization expense for franchise-related intangible assets and certain other direct incremental franchise and license support costs. revenue recognition. Revenues from Company-owned restaurants are recognized when payment is tendered at the time of sale. The Company presents sales net of sales-related taxes. Income from our franchisees and licensees includes initial fees, continuing fees, renewal fees and rental income from restaurants we lease or sublease to them. We recognize initial fees received from a franchisee or licensee as revenue when we have performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise or license agreement, which is generally upon the opening of a store. We recognize continuing fees, which are based upon a percentage of franchisee and licensee sales and rental income as earned. We recognize renewal fees when a renewal agreement with a franchisee or licensee becomes effective. We present initial fees collected upon the sale of a restaurant to a franchisee in Refranchising (gain) loss. While the majority of our franchise agreements are entered into with terms and conditions consistent with those at a prevailing market rate, there are instances when we enter into franchise agreements with terms that are not at market rates (for example, below-market continuing fees) for a specified period of time. We recognize the estimated value of terms in franchise YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-Kagreements entered into concurrently with a refranchising transaction that are not consistent with market terms as part of the upfront refranchising gain (loss) and amortize that amount into Franchise and license fees and income over the period such terms are in effect. The value of terms that are not considered to be at market within franchise agreements is estimated based upon the difference between cash expected to be received under the franchise agreement and cash that would have been expected to be received under a franchise agreement with terms substantially consistent with market. Direct Marketing Costs. We charge direct marketing costs to expense ratably in relation to revenues over the year in which incurred and, in the case of advertising production costs, in the year the advertisement is first shown. Deferred direct marketing costs, which are classified as prepaid expenses, consist of media and related advertising production costs which will generally be used for the first time in the next fiscal year and have historically not been significant. To the extent we participate in advertising cooperatives, we expense our contributions as incurred which are generally based on a percentage of sales. Our advertising expenses were $607 million, $608 million and $593 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We report substantially all of our direct marketing costs in Occupancy and other operating expenses. research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses, which we expense as incurred, are reported in G&A expenses. Research and development expenses were $31 million, $30 million and $34 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Share-Based Employee Compensation. We recognize all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), in the Consolidated Financial Statements as compensation cost over the service period based on their fair value on the date of grant. This compensation cost is recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis for awards that actually vest. We present this compensation cost consistent with the other compensation costs for the employee recipient in either Payroll and employee benefits or G&A expenses. See Note 15 for further discussion of our share-based compensation plans. Legal Costs. Settlement costs are accrued when they are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. Anticipated legal fees related to self- insured workers’ compensation, employment practices liability, general liability, automobile liability, product liability and property losses (collectively, “property and casualty losses”) are accrued when deemed probable and reasonably estimable. Legal fees not related to self-insured property and casualty losses are recognized as incurred. See Note 19 for further discussion of our legal proceedings. Impairment or Disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The assets are not recoverable if their carrying value is less than the undiscounted cash flows we expect to generate from such assets. If the assets are not deemed to be recoverable, impairment is measured based on the excess of their carrying value over their fair value. For purposes of impairment testing for our restaurants, we have concluded that an individual restaurant is the lowest level of independent cash flows unless our intent is to refranchise restaurants as a group. We review our long-lived assets of such individual restaurants (primarily PP&E and allocated intangible assets subject to amortization) semi-annually for impairment, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a restaurant may not be recoverable. We use two consecutive years of operating losses as our primary indicator of potential impairment for our semi-annual impairment testing of these restaurant assets. We evaluate the recoverability of these restaurant assets by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, which are based on our entity-specific assumptions, to the carrying value of such assets. For restaurant assets that are not deemed to be recoverable, we write-down an impaired restaurant to its estimated fair value, which becomes its new cost basis. Fair value is an estimate of the price a franchisee would pay Part II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for the restaurant and its related assets and is determined by discounting the estimated future after-tax cash flows of the restaurant, which include a deduction for royalties we would receive under a franchise agreement with terms substantially at market. The after-tax cash flows incorporate reasonable assumptions we believe a franchisee would make such as sales growth and margin improvement. The discount rate used in the fair value calculation is our estimate of the required rate of return that a franchisee would expect to receive when purchasing a similar restaurant and the related long-lived assets. The discount rate incorporates rates of returns for historical refranchising market transactions and is commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the forecasted cash flows. In executing our refranchising initiatives, we most often offer groups of restaurants for sale. When we believe a restaurant or groups of restaurants will be refranchised for a price less than their carrying value, but do not believe the restaurant(s) have met the criteria to be classified as held for sale, we review the restaurants for impairment. We evaluate the recoverability of these restaurant assets at the date it is considered more likely than not that they will be refranchised by comparing estimated sales proceeds plus holding period cash flows, if any, to the carrying value of the restaurant or group of restaurants. For restaurant assets that are not deemed to be recoverable, we recognize impairment for any excess of carrying value over the fair value of the restaurants, which is based on the expected net sales proceeds. To the extent ongoing agreements to be entered into with the franchisee simultaneous with the refranchising are expected to contain terms, such as royalty rates, not at prevailing market rates, we consider the off-market terms in our impairment evaluation. We recognize any such impairment charges in Refranchising (gain) loss. We classify restaurants as held for sale and suspend depreciation and amortization when (a) we make a decision to refranchise; (b) the restaurants can be immediately removed from operations; (c) we have begun an active program to locate a buyer; (d) the restaurant is being actively marketed at a reasonable market price; (e) significant changes to the plan of sale are not likely; and (f) the sale is probable within one year. Restaurants classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. We recognize estimated losses on restaurants that are classified as held for sale in Refranchising (gain) loss. Refranchising (gain) loss includes the gains or losses from the sales of our restaurants to new and existing franchisees, including impairment charges discussed above, and the related initial franchise fees. We recognize gains on restaurant refranchisings when the sale transaction closes, the franchisee has a minimum amount of the purchase price in at-risk equity, and we are satisfied that the franchisee can meet its financial obligations. If the criteria for gain recognition are not met, we defer the gain to the extent we have a remaining financial exposure in connection with the sales transaction. Deferred gains are recognized when the gain recognition criteria are met or as our financial exposure is reduced. When we make a decision to retain a store, or group of stores, previously held for sale, we revalue the store at the lower of its (a) net book value at our original sale decision date less normal depreciation and amortization that would have been recorded during the period held for sale or (b) its current fair value. This value becomes the store’s new cost basis. We record any resulting difference between the store’s carrying amount and its new cost basis to Closure and impairment (income) expense. When we decide to close a restaurant, it is reviewed for impairment and depreciable lives are adjusted based on the expected disposal date. Other costs incurred when closing a restaurant such as costs of disposing of the assets as well as other facility-related expenses from previously closed stores are generally expensed as incurred. Additionally, at the date we cease using a property under an operating lease, we record a liability for the net present value of any remaining lease obligations, net of estimated sublease income, if any. Any costs recorded upon store closure as well as any subsequent adjustments to liabilities for remaining lease obligations as a result of lease termination or changes in estimates of sublease income are recorded in Closures and impairment (income) expenses. To the extent we sell assets, primarily land, associated with a closed store, any gain or loss upon that sale is also recorded in Closures and impairment (income) expenses. 45 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate future cash flows, including cash flows from continuing use, terminal value, sublease income and refranchising proceeds. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from our estimates. Impairment of Investments in Unconsolidated affiliates. We record impairment charges related to an investment in an unconsolidated affiliate whenever events or circumstances indicate that a decrease in the fair value of an investment has occurred which is other than temporary. In addition, we evaluate our investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment when they have experienced two consecutive years of operating losses. We recorded no impairment associated with our investments in unconsolidated affiliates during 2013, 2012 and 2011. Guarantees. We recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of certain obligations undertaken. The majority of our guarantees are issued as a result of assigning our interest in obligations under operating leases as a condition to the refranchising of certain Company restaurants. We recognize a liability for the fair value of such lease guarantees upon refranchising and upon subsequent renewals of such leases when we remain contingently liable. The related expense and any subsequent changes in the guarantees are included in Refranchising (gain) loss. The related expense and subsequent changes in the guarantees for other franchise support guarantees not associated with a refranchising transaction are included in Franchise and license expense. Income taxes. We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Additionally, in determining the need for recording a valuation allowance against the carrying amount of deferred tax assets, we consider the amount of taxable income and periods over which it must be earned, actual levels of past taxable income and known trends and events or transactions that are expected to affect future levels of taxable income. Where we determine that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of an asset will not be realized, we record a valuation allowance. We recognize the benefit of positions taken or expected to be taken in our tax returns in our Income tax provision when it is more likely than not (i.e. a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon settlement. We evaluate these amounts on a quarterly basis to insure that they have been appropriately adjusted for audit settlements and other events we believe may impact the outcome. Changes in judgment that result in subsequent recognition, derecognition or a change in measurement of a tax position taken in a prior annual period (including any related interest and penalties) are recognized as a discrete item in the interim period in which the change occurs. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of our Income tax provision. We do not record a U.S. deferred tax liability for the excess of the book basis over the tax basis of our investments in foreign subsidiaries to the extent that the basis difference results from earnings that meet the indefinite reversal criteria. This criteria is met if the foreign subsidiary has invested, or will invest, the undistributed earnings indefinitely. The decision as to the amount of undistributed earnings that we intend to maintain in non-U.S. subsidiaries considers items including, but not limited to, forecasts and budgets of financial needs of cash for working capital, liquidity plans and expected cash requirements in the United States. See Note 17 for a further discussion of our income taxes. Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is the price we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction 46 between market participants. For those assets and liabilities we record or disclose at fair value, we determine fair value based upon the quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available for identical assets, we determine fair value based upon the quoted market price of similar assets or the present value of expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including counterparty performance risk if appropriate, and using discount rates appropriate for the duration. The fair values are assigned a level within the fair value hierarchy, depending on the source of the inputs into the calculation. Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Inputs based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly. Inputs that are unobservable for the asset. Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents represent funds we have temporarily invested (with original maturities not exceeding three months), including short-term, highly liquid debt securities. Cash and overdraft balances that meet the criteria for right to offset are presented net on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. receivables. The Company’s receivables are primarily generated from ongoing business relationships with our franchisees and licensees as a result of franchise, license and lease agreements. Trade receivables consisting of royalties from franchisees and licensees are generally due within 30 days of the period in which the corresponding sales occur and are classified as Accounts and notes receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our provision for uncollectible franchise and licensee receivable balances is based upon pre-defined aging criteria or upon the occurrence of other events that indicate that we may not collect the balance due. Additionally, we monitor the financial condition of our franchisees and licensees and record provisions for estimated losses on receivables when we believe it probable that our franchisees or licensees will be unable to make their required payments. While we use the best information available in making our determination, the ultimate recovery of recorded receivables is also dependent upon future economic events and other conditions that may be beyond our control. We recorded $2 million in net provisions, $1 million in net recoveries and $7 million in net provisions within Franchise and license expenses in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to uncollectible franchise and license trade receivables. Trade receivables that are ultimately deemed to be uncollectible, and for which collection efforts have been exhausted, are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts and notes receivable Allowance for doubtful accounts Accounts and notes receivable, net 2013 330 $ (11) 319 $ 2012 313 (12) 301 $ $ Our financing receivables primarily consist of notes receivables and direct financing leases with franchisees which we enter into from time to time. As these receivables primarily relate to our ongoing business agreements with franchisees and licensees, we consider such receivables to have similar risk characteristics and evaluate them as one collective portfolio segment and class for determining the allowance for doubtful accounts. We monitor the financial condition of our franchisees and licensees and record provisions for estimated losses on receivables when we believe it is probable that our franchisees or licensees will be unable to make their required payments. Balances of notes receivable and direct financing leases due within one year are included in Accounts and notes receivable while amounts due beyond one year are included in Other assets. Amounts included in Other assets totaled $22 million (net of an allowance of $1 million) and $18 million (net of an allowance of $3 million) at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. Financing receivables that are ultimately deemed to be uncollectible, and for which collection efforts have been exhausted, are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest income recorded on financing receivables has traditionally been insignificant. YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K Inventories. We value our inventories at the lower of cost (computed on the first-in, first-out method) or market. Property, Plant and Equipment. We state PP&E at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We calculate depreciation and amortization on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: 5 to 25 years for buildings and improvements, 3 to 20 years for machinery and equipment and 3 to 7 years for capitalized software costs. As discussed above, we suspend depreciation and amortization on assets related to restaurants that are held for sale. Leases and Leasehold Improvements. The Company leases land, buildings or both for nearly 7,300 of its restaurants worldwide. The length of our lease terms, which vary by country and often include renewal options, are an important factor in determining the appropriate accounting for leases including the initial classification of the lease as capital or operating and the timing of recognition of rent expense over the duration of the lease. We include renewal option periods in determining the term of our leases when failure to renew the lease would impose a penalty on the Company in such an amount that a renewal appears to be reasonably assured at the inception of the lease. The primary penalty to which we are subject is the economic detriment associated with the existence of leasehold improvements which might be impaired if we choose not to continue the use of the leased property. Leasehold improvements, which are a component of buildings and improvements described above, are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. We generally do not receive leasehold improvement incentives upon opening a store that is subject to a lease. We expense rent associated with leased land or buildings while a restaurant is being constructed whether rent is paid or we are subject to a rent holiday. Additionally, certain of the Company’s operating leases contain predetermined fixed escalations of the minimum rent during the lease term. For leases with fixed escalating payments and/or rent holidays, we record rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including any option periods considered in the determination of that lease term. Contingent rentals are generally based on sales levels in excess of stipulated amounts, and thus are not considered minimum lease payments and are included in rent expense when attainment of the contingency is considered probable (e.g. when Company sales occur). Internal Development Costs and abandoned Site Costs. We capitalize direct costs associated with the site acquisition and construction of a Company unit on that site, including direct internal payroll and payroll- related costs. Only those site-specific costs incurred subsequent to the time that the site acquisition is considered probable are capitalized. If we subsequently make a determination that it is probable a site for which internal development costs have been capitalized will not be acquired or developed, any previously capitalized internal development costs are expensed and included in G&A expenses. Goodwill and Intangible assets. From time to time, the Company acquires restaurants from one of our Concept’s franchisees or acquires another business. Goodwill from these acquisitions represents the excess of the cost of a business acquired over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized and has been assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing. Our reporting units are our operating segments in the U.S. (see Note 18), our YRI business units (which are aligned based on geography) and individual brands in our India and China Divisions. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination even though other assets or liabilities acquired may not be assigned to that reporting unit. The amount of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit that has not been assigned any of the other assets acquired or liabilities assumed is determined by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit before the acquisition to the fair value of the reporting unit after the acquisition. We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate impairment might exist. We have selected the beginning of our fourth quarter as the date on which to perform our ongoing annual impairment test for goodwill. Part II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data We may elect to perform a qualitative assessment for our reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value. If a qualitative assessment is not performed, or if as a result of a qualitative assessment it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then the reporting unit’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. Fair value is the price a willing buyer would pay for a reporting unit, and is generally estimated using discounted expected future after-tax cash flows from Company-owned restaurant operations and franchise royalties. The discount rate is our estimate of the required rate of return that a third-party buyer would expect to receive when purchasing a business from us that constitutes a reporting unit. We believe the discount rate is commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the forecasted cash flows. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. If we record goodwill upon acquisition of a restaurant(s) from a franchisee and such restaurant(s) is then sold within two years of acquisition, the goodwill associated with the acquired restaurant(s) is written off in its entirety. If the restaurant is refranchised two years or more subsequent to its acquisition, we include goodwill in the carrying amount of the restaurants disposed of based on the relative fair values of the portion of the reporting unit disposed of in the refranchising and the portion of the reporting unit that will be retained. The fair value of the portion of the reporting unit disposed of in a refranchising is determined by reference to the discounted value of the future cash flows expected to be generated by the restaurant and retained by the franchisee, which includes a deduction for the anticipated, future royalties the franchisee will pay us associated with the franchise agreement entered into simultaneously with the refranchising transition. The fair value of the reporting unit retained is based on the price a willing buyer would pay for the reporting unit and includes the value of franchise agreements. Appropriate adjustments are made if a franchise agreement includes terms that are determined to not be at prevailing market rates. As such, the fair value of the reporting unit retained can include expected cash flows from future royalties from those restaurants currently being refranchised, future royalties from existing franchise businesses and company restaurant operations. As a result, the percentage of a reporting unit’s goodwill that will be written off in a refranchising transaction will be less than the percentage of the reporting unit’s Company-owned restaurants that are refranchised in that transaction and goodwill can be allocated to a reporting unit with only franchise restaurants. We evaluate the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, we amortize the intangible asset prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life. Intangible assets that are deemed to have a definite life are generally amortized on a straight-line basis to their residual value. We evaluate our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate impairments might exist. We perform our annual test for impairment of our indefinite-lived intangible assets at the beginning of our fourth quarter. We may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying value. If a qualitative assessment is not performed, or if as a result of a qualitative assessment it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, then the asset’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. Fair value is an estimate of the price a willing buyer would pay for the intangible asset and is generally estimated by discounting the expected future after-tax cash flows associated with the intangible asset. Our definite-lived intangible assets that are not allocated to an individual restaurant are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible asset may not be recoverable. An intangible asset that is deemed not recoverable on a undiscounted basis is written down to its estimated fair value, which is our estimate of the price a willing buyer would pay for the intangible asset based on discounted expected future after-tax cash flows. For purposes of 47 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data our impairment analysis, we update the cash flows that were initially used to value the definite-lived intangible asset to reflect our current estimates and assumptions over the asset’s future remaining life. $794 million and $483 million in share repurchases were recorded as a reduction in Retained Earnings in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. See Note 16 for additional information. Derivative Financial Instruments. We use derivative instruments primarily to hedge interest rate and foreign currency risks. These derivative contracts are entered into with financial institutions. We do not use derivative instruments for trading purposes and we have procedures in place to monitor and control their use. We record all derivative instruments on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the results of operations. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income (loss). Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument for a cash flow hedge or net investment hedge is recorded in the results of operations immediately. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations immediately. See Note 12 for a discussion of our use of derivative instruments, management of credit risk inherent in derivative instruments and fair value information. Common Stock Share repurchases. From time to time, we repurchase shares of our Common Stock under share repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors. Shares repurchased constitute authorized, but unissued shares under the North Carolina laws under which we are incorporated. Additionally, our Common Stock has no par or stated value. Accordingly, we record the full value of share repurchases, upon the trade date, against Common Stock on our Consolidated Balance Sheet except when to do so would result in a negative balance in such Common Stock account. In such instances, on a period basis, we record the cost of any further share repurchases as a reduction in retained earnings. Due to the large number of share repurchases and the increase in the market value of our stock over the past several years, our Common Stock balance is frequently zero at the end of any period. Accordingly, $640 million, Pension and Post-retirement Medical Benefits. We measure and recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of our pension and post-retirement plans as an asset or liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of our fiscal year end. The funded status represents the difference between the projected benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets, which is calculated on a plan-by-plan basis. The projected benefit obligation and related funded status are determined using assumptions as of the end of each year. The projected benefit obligation is the present value of benefits earned to date by plan participants, including the effect of future salary increases, as applicable. The difference between the projected benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets that has not previously been recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Income is recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The net periodic benefit costs associated with the Company’s defined benefit pension and post-retirement medical plans are determined using assumptions regarding the projected benefit obligation and, for funded plans, the market-related value of plan assets as of the beginning of each year. We have elected to use a market-related value of plan assets to calculate the expected return on assets in net periodic benefit costs. We recognize differences in the fair value versus the market-related value of plan assets evenly over five years. For each individual plan we amortize into pension expense the net amounts in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), as adjusted for the difference between the fair value and market-related value of plan assets, to the extent that such amounts exceed 10% of the greater of a plan’s projected benefit obligation or market-related value of assets, over the remaining service period of active participants in the plan or, for plans with no active participants, over the expected average life expectancy of the inactive participants in the plan. We record a curtailment when an event occurs that significantly reduces the expected years of future service or eliminates the accrual of defined benefits for the future services of a significant number of employees. We record a curtailment gain when the employees who are entitled to the benefits terminate their employment; we record a curtailment loss when it becomes probable a loss will occur.

BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K Part II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data NOtE Part II4 Items affecting Comparability of Net Income and Cash Flows Little Sheep acquisition and Subsequent Impairment On February 1, 2012 we acquired an additional 66% interest in Little Sheep Group Limited (“Little Sheep”) for $540 million, net of cash acquired of $44 million, increasing our ownership to 93%. The acquisition was driven by our strategy to build leading brands across China in every significant category. Prior to our acquisition of this additional interest, our 27% interest in Little Sheep was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As a result of the acquisition we obtained voting control of Little Sheep, and thus we began consolidating Little Sheep upon acquisition. As required by GAAP, we remeasured our previously held 27% ownership in Little Sheep, which had a recorded value of $107 million at the date of acquisition, at fair value based on Little Sheep’s traded share price immediately prior to our offer to purchase the business and recognized a non-cash gain of $74 million. This gain, which resulted in no related income tax expense, was recorded in Other (income) expense on our Consolidated Statement of Income in 2012 and was not allocated to any segment for performance reporting purposes. We recorded the following assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon acquisition of Little Sheep as a result of our purchase price allocation: Current assets, including cash of $44 Property, plant and equipment Goodwill Intangible assets, including indefinite-lived trademark of $404 Other assets Total assets acquired Deferred taxes Other liabilities Total liabilities assumed Redeemable noncontrolling interest Other noncontrolling interests NET ASSETS ACQUIRED $ $ 109 64 376 421 35 1,005 105 60 165 59 16 765 The fair values of intangible assets were determined using an income approach based on expected cash flows. The goodwill recorded resulted from the value expected to be generated from applying YUM’s processes and knowledge in China, including YUM’s development capabilities, to the Little Sheep business. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes and has been allocated to the China operating segment. As part of the acquisition, YUM granted an option to the shareholder that holds the remaining 7% ownership interest in Little Sheep that would require us to purchase their remaining shares owned upon exercise, which may occur any time after the third anniversary of the acquisition. This noncontrolling interest has been recorded as a Redeemable noncontrolling interest in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Redeemable noncontrolling interest was reported at its fair value of $59 million at the date of acquisition, which was based on the Little Sheep traded share price immediately subsequent to our offer to purchase the additional interest. Under the equity method of accounting, we previously reported our 27% share of the net income of Little Sheep as Other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Since the acquisition, we have reported Little Sheep’s results of operations in the appropriate line items of our Consolidated Statement of Income. We no longer report Other (income) expense as we did under the equity method of accounting. Net income attributable to our partner’s ownership percentage is recorded in Net Income (loss) – noncontrolling interests. Little Sheep reports on a one month lag, and as a result, their consolidated results were included in the China Division starting the second quarter of 2012. In 2012, the consolidation of Little Sheep increased China Division Revenues by 4% and did not have a significant impact on China Division Operating Profit versus 2011. The purchase price paid for the additional 66% interest and the resulting purchase price allocation assumed same-store sales growth and new unit development for the brand. Little Sheep’s sales were negatively impacted by a longer than expected purchase approval and ownership transition phase. Our efforts to regain sales momentum were significantly compromised in May 2013 due to negative publicity regarding quality issues with unrelated hot pot concepts in China, even though there was not an issue with the quality of Little Sheep products. The sustained declines in sales and profits that began in May 2013 and continued through the third quarter, coupled with the anticipated time it will now take for the business to recover, resulted in a determination during the quarter ended September 7, 2013 that it is not more likely than not that the Little Sheep trademark and reporting unit fair values are in excess of their carrying values. Therefore, our Little Sheep trademark and goodwill were tested for impairment in the quarter ended September 7, 2013, prior to the annual impairment reviews performed at the beginning of the fourth quarter of each year in accordance with our accounting policy. As a result of comparing the trademark’s fair value of $345 million to its carrying value of $414 million, an impairment charge of $69 million was recorded in the quarter ended September 7, 2013. Additionally, after determining the fair value of the Little Sheep reporting unit was less than its carrying value, goodwill was written down to $162 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $222 million. The Company also evaluated other Little Sheep long-lived assets for impairment and recorded a $4 million impairment charge related to restaurant-level PP&E. These non-cash impairment charges totalling $295 million were recorded in Closures and impairment (income) expense on our Consolidated Statement of Income and were not allocated to any segment for performance reporting purposes, consistent with the classification of the $74 million gain that was recorded upon acquisition. We recorded an $18 million tax benefit associated with these impairments and allocated $19 million of the net impairment charges to Net Income (loss) - noncontrolling interests, which resulted in a net impairment charge of $258 million allocated to Net Income – YUM! Brands, Inc. The fair values of the Little Sheep trademark and reporting unit were based on the estimated prices a willing buyer would pay. The fair value of the trademark was determined using a relief from royalty valuation approach that included future estimated sales as a significant input. The reporting unit fair value was determined using an income approach with future cash flow estimates generated by the business as a significant input. Future cash flow estimates are impacted by new unit development, sales growth and margin improvement. Both fair values incorporated a discount rate of 13% as our estimate of the required rate of return that a third-party buyer would expect to receive when purchasing the Little Sheep trademark or reporting unit. The inputs used in determining the fair values of the Little Sheep trademark and reporting unit assumed that the business will recover to pre-acquisition average-unit sales volumes and profit levels over the next three years. At such pre-acquisition sales and profit levels, we believe that the Little Sheep restaurant-level unit economics will support the new unit development we assumed in the fair value estimations of the trademark and reporting unit. Long-term average growth assumptions subsequent to this assumed recovery include same-store-sales growth of 4% and average annual net unit growth of approximately 75 units. 49 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K Part II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Losses related to the Extinguishment of Debt During the fourth quarter of 2013, we completed a cash tender offer to repurchase $550 million of our Senior Unsecured Notes due either March 2018 or November 2037. This transaction resulted in $120 million of losses as a result of premiums paid and other costs, $118 million of which was classified as Interest expense, net in our Consolidated Statement of Income. The repurchase of the Senior Unsecured Notes was funded primarily by proceeds of $599 million received from the issuance of new Senior Unsecured Notes. See Note 10 for further discussion on the issuance of Senior Unsecured Notes. Pension Settlement Charges During the fourth quarter of 2012 and continuing through 2013, the Company allowed certain former employees with deferred vested balances in our U.S. pension plans an opportunity to voluntarily elect an early payout of their pension benefits. The majority of these payouts were funded from existing pension plan assets. As a result of settlement payments exceeding the sum of service and interest costs within these U.S. pension plans in 2013 and 2012, pursuant to our accounting policy we recorded pre-tax settlement charges of $30 million and $89 million for the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, in General and administrative expenses. These amounts included settlement charges of $10 million and $84 million in the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, related to the programs discussed above that were not allocated for performance reporting purposes. See Note 14 for further discussion of our pension plans. U.S. Business transformation As part of our plan to transform our U.S. business we took several measures in 2013, 2012 and 2011 (“the U.S. business transformation measures”). These measures included: continuation of our U.S. refranchising; G&A productivity initiatives and realignment of resources (primarily severance and early retirement costs). For information on our U.S. refranchising, see the Refranchising (Gain) Loss section below. China YRI(a) U.S.(b) India WORLDWIDE In connection with our G&A productivity initiatives and realignment of resources (primarily severance and early retirement costs), we recorded pre-tax charges of $5 million, $5 million and $21 million in the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The unpaid current liability for the severance portion of these charges was $1 million and $5 million as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. Severance payments in the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 totaled approximately $4 million, $14 million and $4 million respectively. We are not including the impacts of these U.S. business transformation measures in our U.S. segment for performance reporting purposes as we do not believe they are indicative of our ongoing operations. LJS and a&W Divestitures In 2011 we sold the Long John Silver’s and A&W All American Food Restaurants brands to key franchise leaders and strategic investors in separate transactions. We recognized $86 million of pre-tax losses and other costs primarily in Closures and impairment (income) expenses during 2011 as a result of these transactions. Additionally, we recognized $104 million of tax benefits related to tax losses associated with the transactions. We are not including the pre-tax losses and other costs in our U.S. and YRI segments for performance reporting purposes as we do not believe they are indicative of our ongoing operations. In 2012, System sales and Franchise and license fees and income in the U.S. were negatively impacted versus 2011 by 5% and 6%, respectively, due to these divestitures while YRI’s system sales and Franchise and license fees and income were both negatively impacted by 1%. While these divestitures negatively impacted both the U.S. and YRI segments’ Operating Profit by 1% in 2012, the impact on our consolidated Operating Profit was not significant. refranchising (Gain) Loss The Refranchising (gain) loss by reportable segment is presented below. We do not allocate such gains and losses to our segments for performance reporting purposes. Refranchising (gain) loss 2013 2012 $ $ (5) $ (4) (91) — (100) $ (17) $ 61 (122) — (78) $ 2011 (14) 69 17 — 72 (a) During the fourth quarter of 2012, we refranchised our remaining 331 Company-owned Pizza Hut dine-in restaurants in the United Kingdom (“UK”). The franchise agreement for these stores allows the franchisee to pay continuing franchise fees in the initial years of the agreement at a reduced rate. We agreed to allow the franchisee to pay these reduced fees in part as consideration for their assumption of lease liabilities related to underperforming stores that we anticipate they will close that were part of the refranchising. We recognize the estimated value of terms in franchise agreements entered into concurrently with a refranchising transaction that are not consistent with market terms as part of the upfront refranchising (gain) loss. Accordingly, upon the closing of this refranchising we recognized a loss of $53 million representing the estimated value of these reduced continuing fees. The associated deferred credit is being amortized into YRI’s Franchise and license fees and income through 2016. This upfront loss largely contributed to a $70 million Refranchising loss we recognized during 2012 as a result of this refranchising. Also included in that loss was the write-off of $14 million in goodwill allocated to the Pizza Hut UK reporting unit. The remaining carrying value of goodwill allocated to our Pizza Hut UK business of $87 million, immediately subsequent to the aforementioned write-off, was determined not to be impaired as the fair value of the Pizza Hut UK reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount. For the year ended December 28, 2013, the refranchising of the Pizza Hut UK dine-in restaurants decreased Company sales by 18% and increased Franchise and license fees and income and Operating Profit by 2% and 3%, respectively, for the YRI Division versus 2012. During 2011, we recorded a $76 million charge in Refranchising (gain) loss as a result of our decision to refranchise or close all of our remaining Company-owned Pizza Hut UK dine-in restaurants, primarily to write down these restaurants’ long-lived assets to their then estimated fair value. Impairment charges of Pizza Hut UK long-lived assets incurred as a result of this decision, including the charge mentioned in the previous sentence, reduced depreciation expense versus what would have otherwise been recorded by $13 million and $3 million for the years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. These depreciation reductions were not allocated to the YRI segment resulting in depreciation expense in the YRI segment results continuing to be recorded at the rate which it was prior to the impairment charges being recorded for these restaurants. (b) U.S. Refranchising (gain) loss in the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 is primarily due to gains on sales of Taco Bell restaurants. U.S. Refranchising (gain) loss in the year ended December 31, 2011 is primarily due to losses on sales of and offers to refranchise KFCs in the U.S. The non-cash impairment charges that were recorded related to our offers to refranchise these Company-owned KFC restaurants in the U.S. decreased depreciation expense versus what would have otherwise been recorded by $3 million and $10 million in the years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. These depreciation reductions were not allocated to the U.S. segment resulting in depreciation expense in the U.S. segment results continuing to be recorded at the rate at which it was prior to the impairment charges being recorded for these restaurants.

The Credit Facility includes 24 participating banks with commitments ranging from $23 million to $115 million. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we may borrow up to the maximum borrowing limit, less outstanding letters of credit or banker’s acceptances, where applicable. At December 28, 2013, our unused Credit Facility totaled $1.2 billion net of outstanding letters of credit of $65 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility at December 28, 2013. The interest rate for most borrowings under the Credit Facility ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% over the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The exact spread over LIBOR under the Credit Facility depends upon our performance against specified financial criteria. Interest on any outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility is payable at least quarterly. The Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by our principal domestic subsidiaries. This agreement contains financial covenants relating to maintenance of leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and also contains affirmative and negative covenants including, among other things, limitations on certain additional indebtedness and liens, and certain other transactions specified in the agreement. Given the Company’s strong balance sheet and cash flows, we were able to comply with all debt covenant requirements at December 28, 2013 with a considerable amount of cushion. Additionally, the Credit Facility contains cross-default provisions whereby our failure to make any payment on our indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of $125 million, or the acceleration of the maturity of any such indebtedness, will constitute a default under such agreement. The majority of our remaining long-term debt primarily comprises Senior Unsecured Notes with varying maturity dates from 2014 through 2043 and stated interest rates ranging from 2.38% to 6.88%. The Senior Unsecured Notes represent senior, unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness. Our Senior Unsecured Notes provide that the acceleration of the maturity of any of our indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of $50 million will constitute a default under the Senior Unsecured Notes if such acceleration is not annulled, or such indebtedness is not discharged, within 30 days after notice. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we issued $325 million aggregate principal amount of 3.88% 10 year Senior Unsecured Notes and $275 million aggregate principal amount of 5.35% 30 year Senior Unsecured Notes. We used the proceeds from our issuances of these Senior Unsecured Notes in part to repurchase $550 million of our Senior Unsecured Notes due either March 2018 or November 2037 with aggregate principal amounts of $275 million each.

We do not consider any of these individual leases material to our operations. Most leases require us to pay related executory costs, which include property taxes, maintenance and insurance. Future minimum commitments and amounts to be received as lessor or sublessor under non-cancelable leases are set forth below: 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Thereafter Commitments Capital 18 $ 19 19 17 17 186 276 $ Operating 721 672 627 569 515 2,593 5,697 $ $ $ Lease Receivables Direct Financing $ 2 $ 2 3 2 2 7 18 $ Operating 61 56 52 47 43 152 411 At December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, the present value of minimum payments under capital leases was $172 million and $170 million, respectively.

The primary market risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk and cash flow volatility arising from foreign currency fluctuations. We enter into interest rate swaps with the objective of reducing our exposure to interest rate risk and lowering interest expense for a portion of our fixed-rate debt. At December 28, 2013, our interest rate swaps outstanding had notional amounts of $300 million and have been designated as fair value hedges of a portion of our debt. These fair value hedges meet the shortcut method requirements and no ineffectiveness has been recorded. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with the objective of reducing our exposure to cash flow volatility arising from foreign currency fluctuations associated with certain foreign currency denominated intercompany short-term receivables and payables. The notional amount, maturity date, and currency of these contracts match those of the underlying receivables or payables. For those foreign currency exchange forward contracts that we have designated as cash flow hedges, we measure ineffectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in the fair value of the forward contract with the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item. At December 28, 2013, foreign currency forward contracts outstanding had a total notional amount of $141 million. 55 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K Part II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data The fair values of derivatives designated as hedging instruments for the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 were: Interest Rate Swaps – Asset Foreign Currency Forwards – Asset Foreign Currency Forwards – Liability TOTAL Fair Value 2013 2012 $ $ 17 $ 2 (1) 18 $ 24 — (5) 19 Consolidated Balance Sheet Location Other assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets Accounts payable and other current liabilities The unrealized gains associated with our interest rate swaps that hedge the interest rate risk for a portion of our debt have been reported as an addition of $14 million and $22 million to Long-term debt at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. During the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, Interest expense, net was reduced by $8 million and $12 million, respectively for recognized gains on these interest rate swaps.

Changes in fair values of the foreign currency forwards recognized directly in our results of operations either from ineffectiveness or exclusion from effectiveness testing were insignificant in the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012. Additionally, we had a net deferred loss of $9 million and $12 million, net of tax, as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively within Accumulated OCI due to treasury locks and forward-starting interest rate swaps that have been cash settled, as well as outstanding foreign currency forward contracts. The majority of this loss arose from the settlement of forward starting interest rate swaps entered into prior to the issuance of our Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2037, and is being reclassified into earnings through 2037 to interest expense. In 2013, 2012 and 2011 an insignificant amount was reclassified from Accumulated OCI to Interest expense, net as a result of these previously settled cash flow hedges. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to risk that the counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we only enter into contracts with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and continually assess the creditworthiness of counterparties. At December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, all of the counterparties to our interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards had investment grade ratings according to the three major ratings agencies. To date, all counterparties have performed in accordance with their contractual obligations. NOtE Part II13 Fair Value Disclosures At December 28, 2013 the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of notes receivable net of allowances and lease guarantees less subsequent amortization approximates their carrying value. The Company’s debt obligations, excluding capital leases, were estimated to have a fair value of $3.0 billion (Level 2), compared to their carrying value of $2.8 billion. We estimated the fair value of debt using market quotes and calculations based on market rates. recurring Fair Value Measurements The following table presents fair values for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements fall.

BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K The fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forwards and interest rate swaps were determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including nonperformance risk, and using discount rates appropriate for the duration based upon observable inputs. The other investments include investments in mutual funds, which are used to offset fluctuations in deferred compensation liabilities that employees have chosen to invest in phantom shares of a Stock Index Fund or Bond Index Fund. The other investments are classified as trading securities in Other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and their fair value is determined based on the closing market prices of the respective mutual funds as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012. Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements The following table presents (income) expense recognized from all non- recurring fair value measurements during the year ended December 28, 2013 for assets and liabilities that remained on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 28, 2013 or for all non-recurring fair value measurements during the year ended December 29, 2012 that remained on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 29, 2012. These assets and liabilities include restaurants or groups of restaurants that were impaired either as a result of our semi-annual impairment review or when it was more likely than not a restaurant or restaurant group would be refranchised.

(b) Refranchising related impairment results from writing down the assets of restaurants or restaurant groups offered for refranchising, including certain instances where a decision has been made to refranchise restaurants that are deemed to be impaired. The fair value measurements used in our impairment evaluation are based on either actual bids received from potential buyers (Level 2), or on estimates of the sales prices we anticipated receiving from a buyer for the restaurant or restaurant groups (Level 3). The remaining net book value of assets measured at fair value during the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 is insignificant. (c) Restaurant-level impairment charges are recorded in Closures and impairment (income) expenses and resulted primarily from our semi-annual impairment evaluation of long-lived assets of individual restaurants that were being operated at the time of impairment and had not been offered for refranchising. The fair value measurements used in these impairment evaluations were based on discounted cash flow estimates using unobservable inputs (Level 3). The remaining net book value of assets measured at fair value during the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 is not significant. NOtE Part II14 Pension, retiree Medical and retiree Savings Plans Pension Benefits We sponsor qualified and supplemental (non-qualified) noncontributory defined benefit plans covering certain full-time salaried and hourly U.S. employees. The qualified plan meets the requirements of certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code. A qualified plan typically provides benefits to a broad group of employees with restrictions on discriminating in favor of highly compensated employees with regard to coverage, benefits and contributions. The supplemental plans provide additional benefits to certain employees. We fund our supplemental plans as benefits are paid. The most significant of these plans is the YUM Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), which is a qualified plan. Our funding policy with respect to the Plan is to contribute amounts necessary to satisfy minimum pension funding requirements, including requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, plus additional amounts from time to time as are determined to be necessary to improve the Plan’s funded status. We currently do not anticipate making any contributions to the Plan in 2014. We expect to make $8 million in benefit payments related to our significant U.S. non- qualified plan in 2014. During 2001, our two significant U.S. plans were amended such that any salaried employee hired or rehired by YUM after September 30, 2001 is not eligible to participate in those plans. We also sponsor various defined benefit plans covering certain of our non-U.S. employees, the most significant of which are in the UK. During the quarter ended March 23, 2013, one of our UK plans was frozen such that existing participants can no longer earn future service credits. Our other UK plan was previously frozen to future service credits in 2011. The funding rules for our pension plans outside of the U.S. vary from country to country and depend on many factors including discount rates, performance of plan assets, local laws and regulations. We do not plan to make any significant contributions to any pension plan outside of the U.S. in 2014. We do not anticipate any plan assets being returned to the Company during 2014 for any plans. During the fourth quarter of 2012 and continuing through 2013, the Company allowed certain former employees with deferred vested balances in our U.S. pension plans an opportunity to voluntarily elect an early payout of their pension benefits.

To achieve these objectives, we are using a combination of active and passive investment strategies. Our equity securities, currently targeted to be rebalanced to 45% from 55% of our investment mix, consist primarily of low-cost index funds focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation. We diversify our equity risk by investing in several different U.S. and foreign market index funds. Investing in these index funds provides us with the adequate liquidity required to fund benefit payments and plan expenses. The fixed income asset allocation, currently targeted to be rebalanced to 55% from 45% of our mix, is actively managed and consists of long- duration fixed income securities that help to reduce exposure to interest rate variation and to better correlate asset maturities with obligations. The fair values of all pension plan assets are determined based on closing market prices or net asset values. A mutual fund held as an investment by the Plan includes shares of YUM common stock valued at $0.2 million at December 28, 2013 and $0.7 million at December 29, 2012 (less than 1% of total plan assets in each instance). 60 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K Benefit Payments The benefits expected to be paid in each of the next five years and in the aggregate for the five years thereafter are set forth below: Year ended: 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019–2023 U.S. Pension Plans $ International Pension Plans 1 1 1 1 1 7 50 $ 46 48 47 50 282 Expected benefits are estimated based on the same assumptions used to measure our benefit obligation on the measurement date and include benefits attributable to estimated future employee service. retiree Medical Benefits Our post-retirement plan provides health care benefits, principally to U.S. salaried retirees and their dependents, and includes retiree cost-sharing provisions. During 2001, the plan was amended such that any salaried employee hired or rehired by YUM after September 30, 2001 is not eligible to participate in this plan. Employees hired prior to September 30, 2001 are eligible for benefits if they meet age and service requirements and qualify for retirement benefits. We fund our post-retirement plan as benefits are paid. At the end of 2013 and 2012, the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation was $70 million and $83 million, respectively. An actuarial gain of $2 million was recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss at the end of 2013, and an actuarial loss of $8 million was recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss at the end of 2012. The net periodic Part II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data benefit cost recorded was $5 million in 2013, and was $6 million in both 2012 and 2011, the majority of which is interest cost on the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation. The weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost for the post-retirement medical plan are identical to those as shown for the U.S. pension plans. Our assumed heath care cost trend rates for the following year as of 2013 and 2012 are 7.2% and 7.4%, respectively, with expected ultimate trend rates of 4.5% reached in 2028. There is a cap on our medical liability for certain retirees. The cap for Medicare-eligible retirees was reached in 2000 and the cap for non- Medicare eligible retirees is expected to be reached in 2014; once the cap is reached, our annual cost per retiree will not increase. A one-percentage- point increase or decrease in assumed health care cost trend rates would have less than a $1 million impact on total service and interest cost and on the post-retirement benefit obligation. The benefits expected to be paid in each of the next five years are approximately $6 million and in aggregate for the five years thereafter are $23 million. retiree Savings Plan We sponsor a contributory plan to provide retirement benefits under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”) for eligible U.S. salaried and hourly employees. Participants are able to elect to contribute up to 75% of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. Participants may allocate their contributions to one or any combination of multiple investment options or a self-managed account within the 401(k) Plan. We match 100% of the participant’s contribution to the 401(k) Plan up to 6% of eligible compensation. We recognized as compensation expense our total matching contribution of $12 million in 2013, $13 million in 2012 and $14 million in 2011. NOtE Part II15 Share-based and Deferred Compensation Plans Overview At year end 2013, we had four stock award plans in effect: the YUM! Brands, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively the “LTIPs”), the YUM! Brands, Inc. Restaurant General Manager Stock Option Plan (“RGM Plan”) and the YUM! Brands, Inc. SharePower Plan (“SharePower”). Under all our plans, the exercise price of stock options and SARs granted must be equal to or greater than the average market price or the ending market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Potential awards to employees and non-employee directors under the LTIPs include stock options, incentive stock options, SARs, restricted stock, stock units, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance restricted stock units, performance share units (“PSUs”) and performance units. Through December 28, 2013, we have issued only stock options, SARs, RSUs and PSUs under the LTIPs. While awards under the LTIPs can have varying vesting provisions and exercise periods, outstanding awards under the LTIPs vest in periods ranging from immediate to five years. Stock options and SARs expire ten years after grant. Potential awards to employees under the RGM Plan include stock options, SARs, restricted stock and RSUs. Through December 28, 2013, we have issued only stock options and SARs under this plan. RGM Plan awards granted have a four-year cliff vesting period and expire ten years after grant. Certain RGM Plan awards are granted upon attainment of performance conditions in the previous year. Expense for such awards is recognized over a period that includes the performance condition period. Potential awards to employees under SharePower include stock options, SARs, restricted stock and RSUs. Through December 28, 2013, we have issued only stock options and SARs under this plan. These awards generally vest over a period of four years and expire no longer than ten years after grant. At year end 2013, approximately 16 million shares were available for future share-based compensation grants under the above plans. Our Executive Income Deferral (“EID”) Plan allows participants to defer receipt of a portion of their annual salary and all or a portion of their incentive compensation. As defined by the EID Plan, we credit the amounts deferred with earnings based on the investment options selected by the participants. These investment options are limited to cash, phantom shares of our Common Stock, phantom shares of a Stock Index Fund and phantom shares of a Bond Index Fund. Investments in cash and phantom shares of both index funds will be distributed in cash at a date as elected by the employee and therefore are classified as a liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize compensation expense for the appreciation or the depreciation, if any, of investments in cash and both of the index funds. Deferrals into the phantom shares of our Common Stock will be distributed in shares of our Common Stock, under the LTIPs, at a date as elected by the employee and therefore are classified in Common Stock on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not recognize compensation expense for the appreciation or the depreciation, if any, of investments in phantom shares of our Common Stock. Our EID plan also allows 61 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K Part II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data participants to defer incentive compensation to purchase phantom shares of our Common Stock and receive a 33% Company match on the amount deferred. Deferrals receiving a match are similar to a RSU award in that participants will generally forfeit both the match and incentive compensation amounts deferred if they voluntarily separate from employment during a vesting period that is two years from the date of deferral. We expense the intrinsic value of the match and the incentive compensation over the requisite service period which includes the vesting period. award Valuation Historically, the Company has repurchased shares on the open market in excess of the amount necessary to satisfy award exercises and expects to continue to do so in 2014. We estimated the fair value of each stock option and SAR award as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 2013 0.8% 6.2 29.9% 2.1% 2012 0.8% 6.0 29.0% 1.8% 2011 2.0% 5.9 28.2% 2.0% When determining expected volatility, we consider both historical volatility of our stock as well as implied volatility associated with our publicly traded options. The expected dividend yield is based on the annual dividend yield at the time of grant. The fair values of RSU and PSU awards granted prior to 2013 are based on the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. In 2013, the Company granted PSU awards with market-based conditions valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. Risk-free interest rate Expected term (years) Expected volatility Expected dividend yield We believe it is appropriate to group our stock option and SAR awards into two homogeneous groups when estimating expected term. These groups consist of grants made primarily to restaurant-level employees under the RGM Plan, which cliff-vest after four years and expire ten years after grant, and grants made to executives under our other stock award plans, which typically have a graded vesting schedule of 25% per year over four years and expire ten years after grant. We use a single weighted-average term for our awards that have a graded vesting schedule. Based on analysis of our historical exercise and post-vesting termination behavior, we have determined that our restaurant-level employees and our executives exercised the awards on average after 5 years and 6.25 years, respectively. award activity Stock Options and Sars Outstanding at the beginning of the year Granted Exercised Forfeited or expired OUTSTANDING AT THE END OF THE YEAR EXERCISABLE AT THE END OF THE YEAR Shares (in thousands) 28,612 3,767 (4,030) (636) 27,713(a) 17,787 Weighted-Average Exercise Price 37.05 63.83 27.15 47.69 41.77 33.58 $ $ $ Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) 5.72 4.45 $ $ 890 717 (a) Outstanding awards include 3,103 options and 24,610 SARs with average exercise prices of $34.58 and $42.68, respectively.

This item includes local taxes, withholding taxes, and shareholder-level taxes, net of foreign tax credits. The favorable impact is primarily attributable to a majority of our income being earned outside of the U.S. where tax rates are generally lower than the U.S. rate. In 2012, this benefit was negatively impacted by the repatriation of current year foreign earnings to the U.S. as we recognized additional tax expense, resulting from the related effective tax rate being lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate. In 2011, this benefit was positively impacted by the repatriation of current year foreign earnings as we recognized excess foreign tax credits, resulting from the related effective tax rate being higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate. Adjustments to reserves and prior years. This item includes: (1) changes in tax reserves, including interest thereon, established for potential exposure we may incur if a taxing authority takes a position on a matter contrary to our position; and (2) the effects of reconciling income tax amounts recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Income to amounts reflected on our tax returns, including any adjustments to the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact of certain effects or changes may offset items reflected in the ‘Statutory rate differential attributable to foreign operations’ line. In 2013, this item was negatively impacted by the provision recorded related to the continuing dispute with the IRS regarding the valuation of rights to intangibles transferred to certain foreign subsidiaries. See discussion below in the Internal Revenue Service Proposed Adjustments for details. In 2012, this item was favorably impacted by the resolution of uncertain tax positions in certain foreign jurisdictions. Net benefit from LJS and A&W divestitures. This item includes a one-time $117 million tax benefit, including approximately $8 million U.S. state benefit, recognized on the LJS and A&W divestitures in 2011, partially offset by $45 million of valuation allowance, including approximately $4 million state expense, related to capital loss carryforwards recognized as a result of the divestitures. In addition, we recorded $32 million of tax benefits on $86 million of pre-tax losses and other costs, which resulted in $104 million of total net tax benefits related to the divestitures. Change in valuation allowances. This item relates to changes for deferred tax assets generated or utilized during the current year and changes in our judgment regarding the likelihood of using deferred tax assets that existed at the beginning of the year. The impact of certain changes may offset items reflected in the ‘Statutory rate differential attributable to foreign operations’ line. In 2013, $23 million of net tax expense was driven by $32 million for valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets generated during the current year, partially offset by a $9 million net tax benefit resulting from a change in judgment regarding the future use of certain deferred tax assets that existed at the beginning of the year. In 2012, $14 million of net tax expense was driven by $16 million for valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets generated during the current year, partially offset by a $2 million net tax benefit resulting from a change in judgment regarding the future use of certain deferred tax assets that existed at the beginning of the year. In 2011, $22 million of net tax expense was driven by $15 million for valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets generated during the current year and $7 million of tax expense resulting from a change in judgment regarding the future use of certain foreign deferred tax assets that existed at the beginning of the year. These amounts exclude $45 million in valuation allowance additions related to capital losses recognized as a result of the LJS and A&W divestitures, which are presented within Net Benefit from LJS and A&W divestitures. 64 YUM!

The details of 2013 and 2012 deferred tax assets (liabilities) are set forth below: Part II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data In 2012, this item was positively impacted by a one-time pre-tax gain of $74 million, with no related income tax expense, recognized on our acquisition of additional interest in, and consolidation of Little Sheep.

We have not provided deferred tax on the portion of the excess that we believe is essentially permanent in duration. This amount may become taxable upon an actual or deemed repatriation of assets from the subsidiaries or a sale or liquidation of the subsidiaries. We estimate that our total temporary difference upon which we have not provided deferred tax is approximately $2.6 billion at December 28, 2013. A determination of the deferred tax liability on this amount is not practicable. At December 28, 2013, the Company has foreign operating and capital loss carryforwards of $0.6 billion and U.S. state operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards of $1.2 billion and U.S. federal capital loss and tax credit carryforwards of $0.2 billion.

The Company had $243 million and $309 million of unrecognized tax benefits at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, $170 million and $184 million of which, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate.

BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K Part II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data The Company believes it is reasonably possible its unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $26 million in the next twelve months, including approximately $20 million which, if recognized upon audit settlement or statute expiration, would affect the 2014 effective tax rate. Each of these positions is individually insignificant. The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and numerous foreign jurisdictions. The following table summarizes our major jurisdictions and the tax years that are either currently under audit or remain open and subject to examination: Jurisdiction U.S. Federal China United Kingdom Mexico Australia Open Tax Years 2004–2013 2010–2013 2010–2013 2006–2013 2009–2013 In addition, the Company is subject to various U.S. state income tax examinations, for which, in the aggregate, we had significant unrecognized tax benefits at December 28, 2013, each of which is individually insignificant. The accrued interest and penalties related to income taxes at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 are set forth below: Accrued interest and penalties During 2013, 2012 and 2011, a net expense of $18 million, net benefit of $3 million and net benefit of $2 million, respectively, for interest and penalties was recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Income as components of its income tax provision. Internal revenue Service Proposed adjustments On June 23, 2010, the Company received a Revenue Agent Report (RAR) from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) relating to its examination of our U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2004 through 2006. The IRS has proposed an adjustment to increase the taxable value of rights to intangibles used outside the U.S. that YUM transferred to certain of its foreign subsidiaries. The proposed adjustment would result in approximately $700 million of additional taxes plus net interest to date of approximately $255 million for fiscal years 2004-2006. On January 9, 2013, the Company received an RAR from the IRS for fiscal years 2007 and 2008. As expected, the IRS proposed an adjustment similar to their proposal for 2004-2006 NOtE Part II18 reportable Operating Segments We are principally engaged in developing, operating, franchising and licensing the worldwide KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell concepts. KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell operate in 118, 91, and 21 countries and territories, respectively. Our five largest international markets based on Operating Profit in 2013 are China, Asia Franchise, United Kingdom, Australia and Latin America Franchise. China YRI U.S. India 66 $ 2013 64 $ 2012 50 that would result in approximately $270 million of additional taxes plus net interest to date of approximately $40 million for fiscal years 2007 and 2008. Furthermore, the Company expects the IRS to make similar claims for years subsequent to fiscal 2008. The potential additional taxes for 2009 through 2013, computed on a similar basis to the 2004-2008 additional taxes, would be approximately $140 million plus net interest to date of approximately $10 million. We believe we have properly reported our taxable income and paid taxes consistent with all applicable laws and intend to vigorously defend our position, including through litigation, if we are unable to settle with the IRS through administrative proceedings. As the final resolution of the proposed adjustments remains uncertain, there can be no assurance that payments due upon final resolution of this issue will not exceed our currently recorded reserve and such payments could have a material adverse effect on our financial position. Additionally, if increases to our reserves are deemed necessary due to future developments related to this issue, such increases could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations as they are recorded. The Company does not expect resolution of this matter within twelve months and cannot predict with certainty the timing of such resolution. We identify our operating segments based on management responsibility. The China Division includes mainland China and the India Division includes India, Bangladesh, Mauritius, Nepal and Sri Lanka. YRI includes the remainder of our international operations. We consider our KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell operating segments in the U.S. to be similar and therefore have aggregated them into a single reportable operating segment. Our U.S. and YRI segment results also include the operating results of our LJS and A&W businesses prior to our disposal of those businesses in December 2011. 2013 6,905 $ 3,099 2,953 127 13,084 $ Revenues 2012 6,898 $ 3,281 3,352 102 13,633 $ $ $ 2011 5,566 3,192 3,786 82 12,626 YUM!

NOtE Part II19 Contingencies Lease Guarantees As a result of (a) assigning our interest in obligations under real estate leases as a condition to the refranchising of certain Company restaurants; (b) contributing certain Company restaurants to unconsolidated affiliates; and (c) guaranteeing certain other leases, we are frequently contingently liable on lease agreements. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2066. As of December 28, 2013, the potential amount of undiscounted payments we could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessee was approximately $725 million. The present value of these potential payments discounted at our pre-tax cost of debt at December 28, 2013 was approximately $625 million. Our franchisees are the primary lessees under the vast majority of these leases. We generally have cross-default provisions with these franchisees that would put them in default of their franchise agreement in the event of non-payment under the lease. We believe these cross-default provisions significantly reduce the risk that we will be required to make payments under these leases. Accordingly, the liability recorded for our probable exposure under such leases at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 was not material. Franchise Loan Pool and Equipment Guarantees We have agreed to provide financial support, if required, to a variable interest entity that operates a franchisee lending program used primarily to assist franchisees in the development of new restaurants or the upgrade of existing restaurants and, to a lesser extent, in connection with the Company’s refranchising programs in the U.S. We have determined that we are not required to consolidate this entity as we share the power to direct this entity’s lending activity with other parties. We have provided guarantees of approximately $35 million in support of the franchisee loan program at December 28, 2013. The total loans outstanding under the loan pool were $38 million at December 28, 2013 with an additional $42 million available for lending at December 28, 2013. In addition to the guarantees described above, YUM has provided guarantees of up to approximately $100 million on behalf of franchisees for several financing programs related to specific initiatives. The total loans outstanding under these financing programs were approximately $44 million at December 28, 2013. Unconsolidated affiliates Guarantees From time to time we have guaranteed certain lines of credit and loans of unconsolidated affiliates. At December 28, 2013 there are no guarantees outstanding for unconsolidated affiliates. Our unconsolidated affiliates had total revenues of approximately $1.1 billion for the year ended December 28, 2013 and assets and debt of approximately $365 million and $85 million, respectively, at December 28, 2013. Insurance Programs We are self-insured for a substantial portion of our current and prior years’ coverage including property and casualty losses. To mitigate the cost of our exposures for certain property and casualty losses, we self-insure the risks of loss up to defined maximum per occurrence retentions on a line-by-line basis. The Company then purchases insurance coverage, up to a certain limit, for losses that exceed the self-insurance per occurrence retention. The insurers’ maximum aggregate loss limits are significantly above our actuarially determined probable losses; therefore, we believe the likelihood of losses exceeding the insurers’ maximum aggregate loss limits is remote. 68 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-K The following table summarizes the 2013 and 2012 activity related to our net self-insured property and casualty reserves as of December 28, 2013. Part II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data 2013 Activity 2012 Activity In the U.S. and in certain other countries, we are also self-insured for healthcare claims and long-term disability for eligible participating employees subject to certain deductibles and limitations. We have accounted for our retained liabilities for property and casualty losses, healthcare and long-term disability claims, including reported and incurred but not reported claims, based on information provided by independent actuaries. Due to the inherent volatility of actuarially determined property and casualty loss estimates, it is reasonably possible that we could experience changes in estimated losses which could be material to our growth in quarterly and annual Net income. We believe that we have recorded reserves for property and casualty losses at a level which has substantially mitigated the potential negative impact of adverse developments and/or volatility. Legal Proceedings We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, real estate, environmental and other matters arising in the normal course of business. An accrual is recorded with respect to claims or contingencies for which a loss is determined to be probable and reasonably estimable. In early 2013, four putative class action complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and certain executive officers alleging claims under sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Plaintiffs alleged that defendants made false and misleading statements concerning the Company’s current and future business and financial condition. The four complaints were subsequently consolidated and transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. On August 5, 2013, lead plaintiff, Frankfurt Trust Investment GmbH, filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint (“Amended Complaint”) on behalf of a putative class of all persons who purchased the Company’s stock between February 6, 2012 and February 4, 2013 (the “Class Period”). The Amended Complaint no longer includes allegations relating to misstatements regarding the Company’s business or financial condition and instead alleges that, during the Class Period, defendants purportedly omitted information about the Company’s supply chain in China, thereby inflating the prices at which the Company’s securities traded. On October 4, 2013, the Company and individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Briefing on the motion to dismiss is now complete. The Company denies liability and intends to vigorously defend against all claims in the Amended Complaint. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. On January 24, 2013, Bert Bauman, a purported shareholder of the Company, submitted a letter demanding that the Board of Directors initiate an investigation of alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by directors, officers and employees of the Company. The breaches of fiduciary duties are alleged to have arisen primarily as a result of the failure to implement proper controls in connection with the Company’s purchases of poultry from suppliers to the Company’s China operations. Subsequently, similar demand letters by other purported shareholders were submitted. Those letters were referred to a special committee of the Board of Directors (the “Special Committee”) for consideration. The Special Committee, upon conclusion of an independent inquiry of the matters described in the letters, unanimously determined that it is not in the best interests of the Company to pursue the claims described in the letters and, accordingly, rejected each shareholder’s demand. On May 9, 2013, Mr. Bauman filed a putative derivative action in Jefferson Circuit Court, Commonwealth of Kentucky against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company asserting breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment in connection with an Beginning Balance 142 140 $ $ Expense 47 58 Payments Ending Balance 128 142 (61) $ (56) $ alleged failure to implement proper controls in the Company’s purchases of poultry from suppliers to the Company’s China operations and with an alleged scheme to mislead investors about the Company’s growth prospects in China. By agreement of the parties, the matter is temporarily stayed pending the outcome of the motion to dismiss the securities class action. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. On February 14, 2013, Jennifer Zona, another purported shareholder of the Company, submitted a demand letter similar to the demand letters described above. On May 21, 2013, Ms. Zona filed a putative derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky against certain officers and directors of the Company asserting claims similar to those asserted by Mr. Bauman. The case was subsequently reassigned to the same judge that the securities class action is before. On October 14, 2013, the Company filed a motion to dismiss on the basis of the Special Committee’s findings. By agreement of the parties, the matter is temporarily stayed pending the outcome of the motion to dismiss the securities class action. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. On May 17, 2013, Sandra Wollman, another purported shareholder of the Company, submitted a demand letter similar to the demand letters described above. On December 9, 2013, Ms. Wollman filed a putative derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company asserting claims similar to those asserted by Mr. Bauman and Ms. Zona. By agreement of the parties, the matter was consolidated with the Zona action and is temporarily stayed pending the outcome of the motion to dismiss the securities class action. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. Taco Bell was named as a defendant in a number of putative class action suits filed in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 alleging violations of California labor laws including unpaid overtime, failure to timely pay wages on termination, failure to pay accrued vacation wages, failure to pay minimum wage, denial of meal and rest breaks, improper wage statements, unpaid business expenses, wrongful termination, discrimination, conversion and unfair or unlawful business practices in violation of California Business & Professions Code §17200. Some plaintiffs also seek penalties for alleged violations of California’s Labor Code under California’s Private Attorneys General Act as well as statutory “waiting time” penalties and allege violations of California’s Unfair Business Practices Act. Plaintiffs seek to represent a California state-wide class of hourly employees. These matters were consolidated, and the consolidated case is styled In Re Taco Bell Wage and Hour Actions. The In Re Taco Bell Wage and Hour Actions plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint in June 2009, and in March 2010 the court approved the parties’ stipulation to dismiss the Company from the action. Plaintiffs filed their motion for class certification on the vacation and final pay claims in December 2010, and on September 26, 2011 the court issued its order denying the certification of the vacation and final pay claims. Plaintiffs then sought to certify four separate meal and rest break classes. On January 2, 2013, the District Court rejected three of the proposed classes but granted certification with respect to the late meal break class. The parties thereafter agreed on a list of putative class members, and the class notice and opportunity to opt out of the litigation were mailed on January 21, 2014. Taco Bell denies liability and intends to vigorously defend against all claims in this lawsuit. We have provided for a reasonable estimate of the possible loss relating to this lawsuit. However, in view of the inherent uncertainties of litigation, there can be no assurance that this lawsuit will not result in losses in excess of those currently provided for in our Consolidated Financial 69 YUM! BRANDS, INC. - 2013 Form 10-KForm 10-KPart II Part II Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Statements. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss in excess of that currently provided for in our Consolidated Financial Statements cannot be made at this time. On May 16, 2013, a putative class action styled Bernardina Rodriguez v. Taco Bell Corp. was filed in California Superior Court. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of current and former California hourly restaurant employees alleging various violations of California labor laws including failure to provide meal and rest periods, failure to pay hourly wages, failure to provide accurate written wage statements, failure to timely pay all final wages, and unfair or unlawful business practices in violation of California Business & Professions Code §17200. This case appears to be duplicative of the In Re Taco Bell Wage and Hour Actions case described above. Taco Bell removed the case to federal court and, on June 25, 2013, plaintiff filed a first amended complaint to include a claim seeking penalties for alleged violations of California’s Labor Code under California’s Private Attorneys General Act. Taco Bell’s motion to dismiss or stay the action in light of the In Re Taco Bell Wage and Hour Actions case was denied on October 30, 2013. Taco Bell denies liability and intends to vigorously defend against all claims in this lawsuit. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. In December 2002, Taco Bell was named as the defendant in a class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California styled Moeller, et al. v. Taco Bell Corp. In August 2003, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint alleging, among other things, that Taco Bell has discriminated against the class of people who use wheelchairs or scooters for mobility by failing to make its approximately 200 Company- owned restaurants in California accessible to the class. Plaintiffs contend that queue rails and other architectural and structural elements of the Taco Bell restaurants relating to the path of travel and use of the facilities by persons with mobility-related disabilities do not comply with the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”), the Unruh Civil Rights Act (the “Unruh Act”), and the California Disabled Persons Act (the “CDPA”). Plaintiffs have requested: (a) an injunction from the District Court ordering Taco Bell to comply with the ADA and its implementing regulations; (b) that the District Court declare Taco Bell in violation of the ADA, the Unruh Act, and the CDPA; and (c) monetary relief under the Unruh Act or CDPA. Plaintiffs, on behalf of the class, are seeking the minimum statutory damages per offense of either $4,000 under the Unruh Act or $1,000 under the CDPA for each aggrieved member of the class. Plaintiffs contend that there may be in excess of 100,000 individuals in the class. In February 2004, the District Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. The class included claims for injunctive relief and minimum statutory damages. In May 2007, a hearing was held on plaintiffs’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment seeking judicial declaration that Taco Bell was in violation of accessibility laws as to three specific issues: indoor seating, queue rails and door opening force. In August 2007, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion in part with regard to dining room seating. In addition, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion in part with regard to door opening force at some restaurants (but not all) and denied the motion with regard to queue lines. In December 2009, the court denied Taco Bell’s motion for summary judgment on the ADA claims and ordered plaintiffs to select one restaurant to be the subject of a trial. The trial for the exemplar restaurant began on June 6, 2011, and on October 5, 2011 the court issued Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law ruling that plaintiffs established that classwide injunctive relief was warranted with regard to maintaining compliance as to corporate Taco Bell restaurants in California. The court declined to order injunctive relief at the time, however, citing the pendency of Taco Bell’s motions to decertify both the injunctive and damages class. The court also found that twelve specific items at the exemplar store were once out of compliance with applicable state and/or federal accessibility standards. Taco Bell filed a motion to decertify the class in August 2011, and in July 2012, the court granted Taco Bell’s motion to decertify the previously certified state law damages class but denied Taco Bell’s motion to decertify the ADA injunctive relief class. In September 2012, the court set a discovery and briefing schedule concerning the trials of the four individual plaintiffs’ state law damages claims, which the court stated will be tried before holding further proceedings regarding the possible issuance of an injunction. The court subsequently issued an order modifying its October 2011 Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law deleting the statement that an injunction was warranted. Plaintiffs appealed that order, and on June 24, 2013 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed plaintiff’s appeal. On January 15, 2014, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking issuance of a classwide injunction, and Taco Bell filed a motion to dismiss both the individual and class ADA claims based on a lack of jurisdiction. Taco Bell denies liability and intends to vigorously defend against all claims in this lawsuit. Taco Bell has taken steps to address potential architectural and structural compliance issues at the restaurants in accordance with applicable state and federal disability access laws. The costs associated with addressing these issues have not significantly impacted our results of operations. We have provided for a reasonable estimate of the possible loss relating to this lawsuit. However, in view of the inherent uncertainties of litigation, there can be no assurance that this lawsuit will not result in losses in excess of those currently provided for in our Consolidated Financial Statements. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss in excess of that currently provided for in our Consolidated Financial Statements cannot be made at this time. In July 2009, a putative class action styled Mark Smith v. Pizza Hut, Inc. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. The complaint alleged that Pizza Hut did not properly reimburse its delivery drivers for various automobile costs, uniforms costs, and other job-related expenses and seeks to represent a class of delivery drivers nationwide under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Colorado state law. In January 2010, plaintiffs filed a motion for conditional certification of a nationwide class of current and former Pizza Hut, Inc. delivery drivers. However, in March 2010, the court granted Pizza Hut’s pending motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, with leave to amend. Plaintiffs subsequently filed an amended complaint, which dropped the uniform claims but, in addition to the federal FLSA claims, asserted state-law class action claims under the laws of sixteen different states. Pizza Hut filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, and plaintiffs sought leave to amend their complaint a second time. In August 2010, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion to amend. Pizza Hut filed another motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. In July 2011, the Court granted Pizza Hut’s motion with respect to plaintiffs’ state law claims but allowed the FLSA claims to go forward. Plaintiffs filed their Motion for Conditional Certification in August 2011, and the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion in April 2012. The opt-in period closed on August 23, 2012, and approximately 6,000 individuals opted in. Pizza Hut denies liability and intends to vigorously defend against all claims in this lawsuit. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time. We are engaged in various other legal proceedings and have certain unresolved claims pending, the ultimate liability for which, if any, cannot be determined at this time. However, based upon consultation with legal counsel, we are of the opinion that such proceedings and claims are not expected to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our Consolidated Financial Statements. 70 YUM!

Management’s responsibility for Financial Statements To Our Shareholders: We are responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, related notes and other information included in this annual report. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include certain amounts based upon our estimates and assumptions, as required. Other financial information presented in the annual report is derived from the financial statements. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. The system is supported by formal policies and procedures, including an active Code of Conduct program intended to ensure employees adhere to the highest standards of personal and professional integrity. We have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 28, 2013. Our internal audit function monitors and reports on the adequacy of and compliance with the internal control system, and appropriate actions are taken to address significant control deficiencies and other opportunities for improving the system as they are identified. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been audited and reported on by our independent auditors, KPMG LLP, who were given free access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees of the Board. We believe that management representations made to the independent auditors were valid and appropriate. Additionally, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting has been audited and reported on by KPMG LLP. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed solely of outside directors, provides oversight to our financial reporting process and our controls to safeguard assets through periodic meetings with our independent auditors, internal auditors and management. Both our independent auditors and internal auditors have free access to the Audit Committee. Although no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities, we believe our controls as of December 28, 2013 provide reasonable assurance that our assets are reasonably safeguarded.
