Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

     On November 13, 2006, Triarc Companies, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press
release  announcing  its results for the fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2006. A
copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on
Form 8-K.

     The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit
99.1, which is furnished  pursuant to Item 9.01, shall not be deemed "filed" for
the purposes of Section 18 of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise
subject to the liabilities under that Section.  Furthermore,  the information in
Item 2.02 of, and Exhibit 99.1 to, this Current  Report on Form 8-K shall not be
deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the
Securities Act of 1933.

Item 8.01.  Other Events

     On November  9, 2006,  the Company  announced  that its Board of  Directors
approved the payment of regular  quarterly  cash dividends of $0.08 per share on
its Class A Common Stock and $0.09 per share on it Class B Common Stock,  Series
1. The record date for the regular  quarterly cash dividends is December 1, 2006
and the payment date is December 15, 2006.

     The  Certificate of Designation  for the Class B Common Stock provides that
the Class B Common Stock is  entitled,  through  September  4, 2006,  to receive
regular quarterly cash dividends that are at least 110% of any regular quarterly
cash dividends that are paid on the Class A Common Stock. However, on August 10,
2006, the Company's  Board of Directors  determined that until December 31, 2006
the Company will continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends at that higher
rate on the Class B Common Stock,  if any regular  quarterly  cash dividends are
paid on the Class A Common  Stock.  The Board of Directors  has not yet made any
determination  of the relative  amounts of any regular  quarterly cash dividends
that will be paid on the Class A Common  Stock  and Class B Common  Stock  after
December  31,  2006.  There  can be no  assurance  that any  additional  regular
quarterly cash dividends will be declared or paid, or of the amount or timing of
such dividends, if any.

     A copy of the press  release  announcing  the foregoing is filed as Exhibit
99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
