Recent 8‑K filings describe Wendy's use of a securitized financing facility through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Wendy's Funding, LLC.

The filings explain how proceeds are used to refinance existing notes and debentures, pay transaction costs and support general corporate purposes such as growth initiatives, returns of capital and additional debt repayment.
Other 8‑K reports cover quarterly financial results, including systemwide sales, same-restaurant sales, restaurant openings, adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, earnings per share, free cash flow, dividends and share repurchases.

Wendy's Co. (WEN) Form 4 reports that Director Bradley G. Peltz was granted 13,226 common shares on 07/24/2025 (Transaction code “A”). The shares were acquired at $0, indicating a board equity award or restricted-stock grant rather than an open-market purchase.
After the grant, Peltz’s beneficial ownership totals 145,623 shares: 13,226 held directly and 132,397 held indirectly through the Peltz 2009 Family Trust. No derivative securities were involved and no dispositions were reported. The filing contains no additional financial metrics or strategic disclosures.
The award modestly increases insider alignment but is immaterial versus Wendy’s ~212 million-share float and therefore is unlikely to affect valuation or liquidity.
