KFC COMPANY

KFC Corporation is the largest fast-food chicken operator, developer, and franchiser in the
world. KFC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo, Inc. until late 1997, operates over 5,000
units in the United States, approximately 60 percent of which are franchises. Internationally,
KFC has more than 3,700 units, of which two-thirds are also franchised. In addition to direct
franchising and wholly owned operations, the company participates in joint ventures, and
continues investigating alternative venues to gain market share in the increasingly competitive
fast-food market. In late 1997 the company expected to become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc., to be formed from the spin off of PepsiCo's restaurant holdings.

Our Humble Origins

For the man world-famous for his fried chicken, Harland David Sanders or Colonel Sanders,
began his life far from the kitchen. Born in Henryville, Indiana USA, Colonel Sanders spent 65
years of his life doing everything but cook.

But come 1950, Sanders went on to take the biggest leap of his professional career — when he
finalized the original recipe of 11 secret herbs and spices, to create the Kentucky Fried Chicken®
that we’ve come to know and love today.

A decade later, Sanders’ success in the food business flocked all over the United States and
Canada with over 600 franchise outlets. And 7 years after, KFC found a home in the Philippines.

Perhaps the first world-famous chef, Colonel Sanders proved that fame could go hand-in-hand
with a big heart. The Colonel donated millions to charity, schools and hospitals. And even before
his passing, he says, “I never had any desire to be the richest man in the cemetery.”

Today, as the Colonel’s legacy continues to grow, we are constantly reminded of his journey— a
man who found his passion at his 60s, to becoming a world renowned chef who humbly
introduced his recipe in all corners of the globe.
