In connection with closing, a subsidiary of Yum!

Yum China also delivered a Guaranty in favor of the Yum! Brands subsidiary, under which Yum China guarantees the performance, including payment obligations, of its subsidiary under the new master license agreement. A separate agreement to sell the Pizza Hut business outside Mainland China to LongRange Capital is expected to close this month, subject to customary closing conditions and required regulatory approvals.
