Explanatory Note

On June 19, 2012, Justice Holdings Limited, a company limited by shares incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Justice”), distributed 90,057,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Justice Delaware Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation (“New Holdco” or the “Company”), to the holders of Justice ordinary shares, on a 1-for-1 distribution ratio (the “Distribution”). The Distribution was made in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 3, 2012 (the “Agreement”), by and among Justice, New Holdco, Justice Holdco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New Holdco (“Merger Sub LLC”), and Burger King Worldwide Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Worldwide”), and pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Pursuant to the Agreement, on June 20, 2012, Worldwide merged with and into Merger Sub LLC, with Merger Sub LLC continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Holdco (the “Merger”). As consideration for the Merger, the then-current stockholders of Worldwide, primarily 3G Special Situations Fund, L.P. (“3G”), an investment fund affiliated with 3G Capital Partners Ltd. (“3G Capital”), received 249,414,069 shares of New Holdco Common Stock in reliance on an exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and approximately $1,410,891,000 in cash. In addition, Justice, New Holdco and certain holders of equity interests of Justice (“Justice’s founders”) entered into transactions, including the Distribution, prior to the effectiveness of the Merger, in order to facilitate the Merger. The Distribution occurred in conjunction with those pre-Merger transactions. The Merger and the pre-Merger transactions are referred to herein as the “Transactions.”

As a result of the Transactions, the holders of Justice ordinary shares prior to the Merger and Justice’s founders in the aggregate held approximately 29% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the Merger, and the holders of Worldwide shares prior to the Merger, primarily 3G, held approximately 71% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the Merger.

On June 20, 2012, New Holdco changed its name to Burger King Worldwide, Inc., and its shares of Common Stock were listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BKW.” On April 3, 2012, trading of the Justice ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange ended. On June 19, 2012, Justice began the process of liquidating itself and on June 20, 2012, Justice requested the cancellation of its listing on the London Stock Exchange (which will take effect on July 18, 2012).
