PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following is a summary of certain material information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the
information that may be important to you. To better understand the Companys business and financial position, you should carefully review this entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein.
Our Company
We are the largest restaurant company in
China, with over 7,500 restaurants as of year end 2016, and $6.8 billion of revenue, net income of $502 million and $1.13 billion of adjusted EBITDA in 2016. Our growing restaurant base consists of Chinas leading restaurant
concepts, including KFC, Pizza Hut Casual Dining, Pizza Hut Home Service, East Dawning, Little Sheep and Taco Bell. We have the exclusive right to operate and
sub-license
the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell
brands in China, and own the East Dawning and Little Sheep concepts outright. We were the first major global restaurant brand to enter China in 1987 and we have developed deep experience operating in the market. We have since grown to become one of
Chinas largest retail developers covering over 1,100 cities and opening an average of two new locations per day over the past five years.
As of
December 31, 2016, we owned and operated approximately 90% of our restaurants. Franchisees contribute to our revenues on an ongoing basis through the payment of royalties based on a percentage of sales. KFC is the leading quick-service
restaurant (QSR) brand in China in terms of system sales and number of restaurants. As of December 31, 2016, KFC operated over 5,200 restaurants in over 1,100 cities across China. Measured by number of restaurants, we believe KFC
has a
two-to-one
lead over the nearest Western QSR competitor in China and KFC continues to grow in both large and small cities. Similarly, Pizza Hut Casual Dining is
the leading casual dining restaurant (CDR) concept in China as measured by system sales and number of restaurants. We believe Pizza Hut Casual Dining, with over 1,700 restaurants in over 400 cities as of December 31, 2016, has an
approximately
six-to-one
lead in terms of restaurants over its nearest Western CDR competitor in China.
Spin-off
Transaction
The Company separated from Yum! Brands, Inc. (YUM) on October 31, 2016 (the separation), becoming an independent, publicly traded
company as a result of a pro rata distribution (the distribution) of all outstanding shares of Yum China common stock to shareholders of YUM. On October 31, 2016, YUMs shareholders of record as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on
October 19, 2016 received one share of Yum China common stock for every one share of YUM common stock held as of the record date. Yum Chinas common stock began trading regular way under the ticker symbol YUMC on
the New York Stock Exchange on November 1, 2016.
In connection with the separation of the Company from YUM, Yum! Restaurants Asia Pte. Ltd.
(YRAPL), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of YUM, and Yum Restaurants Consulting (Shanghai) Company Limited (YCCL), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Yum China, entered into a
50-year
master license agreement with automatic renewals for additional consecutive renewal terms of 50 years each, subject only to YCCL being in good standing and unless YCCL gives notice of its
intent not to renew, for the exclusive right to use and sublicense the use of intellectual property owned by YUM and its subsidiaries for the development, promotion and operation of the KFC, Pizza Hut and, subject to achieving certain agreed upon
milestones, Taco Bell brands and their related marks and other intellectual property rights for restaurant services in China. In exchange, we pay a license fee to YUM equal to 3% of net system sales from both our Company and franchise restaurants.
We own the East Dawning and Little Sheep intellectual property and pay no license fee related to these concepts.
The KFC, Pizza Hut Casual Dining, Pizza
Hut Home Service, East Dawning, Little Sheep and Taco Bell concepts are collectively referred to as the Concepts. Throughout this prospectus, the terms restaurants, stores and units are used
interchangeably.
1
Restaurant Concepts
Most restaurants in each Concept offer consumers the ability to dine in and/or carry out food. In addition, KFC, Pizza Hut Casual Dining, Pizza Hut Home
Service and East Dawning offer delivery service.
Each Concept has proprietary menu items, many developed in China, and emphasizes the preparation of food
with high quality ingredients, as well as unique recipes and special seasonings to provide appealing, tasty and convenient food at competitive prices.
Following is a brief description of each Concept:
KFC
KFC is the largest restaurant brand in China in terms of system sales and number of restaurants. Founded in Corbin, Kentucky by Colonel Harland D.
Sanders in 1939, KFC opened its first restaurant in Beijing, China in 1987. As of December 31 2016, almost 30 years later, there were over 5,200 KFC restaurants in China, and the Company plans to continue adding new units. In addition to
Original Recipe chicken, KFC in China has an extensive menu featuring pork, seafood, rice dishes, fresh vegetables, soups, congee, desserts and many other products, including premium coffee. The KFC brand is also seeking to increase revenues from
its restaurants throughout the day with breakfast, delivery and
24-hour
operations in many of its locations.
Pizza Hut Casual Dining
Pizza Hut Casual Dining
is the largest Western CDR brand in China as measured by system sales and number of restaurants. It operates in over 400 cities and offers multiple dayparts, including breakfast and afternoon tea. The first Pizza Hut Casual Dining restaurant in
China opened in 1990, and as of year-end 2016, there were over 1,700 Pizza Hut Casual Dining restaurants in China. Pizza Hut Casual Dining has an extensive menu offering a broad variety of pizzas, entrees, pasta, rice dishes, appetizers, beverages
and desserts. In 2016, Pizza Hut Casual Dining was again ranked the Most Preferred Western Casual Dining Restaurant in China by The Nielsen Corporation.
Other Concepts
Pizza Hut Home Service.
The
Company introduced pizza delivery to China in 2001, and as of December 31, 2016 there were over 360 Pizza Hut Home Service units in over 50 cities in China, specializing in professional and convenient delivery of Chinese food as well as pizza.
Over 80% of the brands orders came through online or mobile channels in 2016. We believe its professional service and diverse menu provide a strong platform for continued growth in the future.
Little Sheep.
A casual-dining brand with its roots in Inner Mongolia, China, Little Sheep specializes in Hot Pot cooking, which is very
popular in China, particularly during the winter months. Little Sheep had over 240 units in both China and international markets as of December 31, 2016. Of these, over 200 units were franchised.
East Dawning.
East Dawning is a Chinese food QSR brand, primarily located in large coastal cities. There were 13 restaurants as of year-end 2016.
This brand is not viewed as a significant growth engine for the Company.
Taco Bell.
Taco Bell is the worlds leading QSR brand specializing
in Mexican-style food, including tacos, burritos, quesadillas, salads, nachos and similar items. The Company opened its first Taco Bell restaurant in Shanghai, China, in December 2016.

Director Independence
The Companys Corporate Governance Principles, adopted by our board of directors, require that a majority of the directors qualify as independent in
accordance with the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE). Our board of directors determines on an annual basis whether each director qualifies as independent pursuant to the applicable rules of the NYSE.
Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Principles, our board of directors undertook its annual review of director independence. During this review, the board
considered transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his or her immediate family and the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. As provided in the Corporate Governance Principles, the purpose of this review was to
determine whether any such relationships or transactions were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent.
As a result of the
review, the board affirmatively determined that all of the directors are independent of the Company and its management under NYSE rules, with the exception of Christian Campbell and Micky Pant. Messrs. Campbell and Pant are not considered
independent directors because Mr. Campbell served as an executive officer of YUM until his retirement in February 2016, and Mr. Pant is our Chief Executive Officer.
In determining that the other directors did not have a material relationship with the Company, the board determined that Dr. Hu, Messrs. Bassi, Chan,
Ettedgui, Hsieh, Linen and Shao and Ms. Lu had no other relationship with the Company other than their relationship as a director. The board did note, as discussed in the next paragraph, that Mr. Shao is Partner at King & Wood
MallesonsChina, which has a business relationship with the Company; however, as noted below, the board determined that this relationship was not material to Mr. Shao or King & Wood MallesonsChina, and therefore determined
Mr. Shao was independent.
12
The Company paid King & Wood MallesonsChina, the law firm of which Mr. Shao serves as
Partner, approximately $270,000 for legal services rendered to the Company in 2016. Based on publicly available information regarding the revenue such firm generated in 2016, and based on the fact that Mr. Shao did not directly participate in
rendering such services to the Company, the Board determined this relationship was not material to Mr. Shao or King & Wood MallesonsChina.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Introduction
On October 31, 2016, the Company
separated from Yum! Brands (YUM), becoming an independent publicly traded company as a result of a pro rata distribution to shareholders of YUM of one share of Company common stock for every one share of common stock held as of
October 19, 2016 (the
Spin-Off).
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the compensation received by the Companys named executive officers (or NEOs)
in 2016 prior to and following the
Spin-Off
as well as certain compensation actions taken by the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board (the Company Compensation Committee) following
the
Spin-Off.
In view of the timing of the
Spin-Off,
most of the 2016 compensation decisions described in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis were determined by
YUM rather than the newly formed Company Compensation Committee.
As a newly independent company, we expect the Companys executive compensation
program to evolve in support of its
on-going
business strategy. The Company Compensation Committee will review and consider modifications to the Companys executive compensation program to reflect the
Companys business strategy, performance and evolving corporate governance practices.
Recently, the Company Compensation Committee has:
|
|
|
Reviewed and approved the Company Compensation Committee Charter to ensure program and policy oversight and decision-making authority is held at what the committee considers to be the appropriate levels of the Board,
Company Compensation Committee, and management;
|
|
|
|
Adopted a new approach to peer company selection that we believe better aligns with the executive selection and retention strategies of the Company and provides clearer comparability between the Company and the peer
companies with regard to industry, geographic coverage and size;
|
|
|
|
Reviewed the performance measures used in the annual incentive plan and revised financial performance ranges to better align the incentive payouts and the Companys performance as an independent company while
maintaining the existing executive compensation program and the focus on key performance measures of the Companys overall business and operating segments for 2017; and
|
|
|
|
Reviewed and approved the Compensation Recovery Policy, which may require an executive officer to return compensation paid or the Company to cancel performance awards previously granted to the executive officer, under
certain circumstances as described in the policy.
|
During 2017, the Company Compensation Committee will review the executive
compensation program including the annual and long-term incentive plans and the incentive vehicles used, the performance measures and other conditions used to determine the equity awards, as well as the share ownership guidelines for executives, in
order to ensure alignment between pay and performance.
2016 Performance
2016 was a historic year for the Company, as we successfully completed our spin-off from YUM in October 2016 to become an independent company. By the end of
2016, the Company was the largest restaurant company in China with approximately 7,500 restaurants. Our restaurant base consists of KFC, the leading quick-service restaurant brand in China in terms of system sales and number of restaurants,
Pizza Hut Casual Dining, the leading casual dining restaurant concept in China as measured by system sales and number of restaurants, Pizza Hut Home Service, Taco Bell, East Dawning and Little Sheep. Following the spin-off, we maintained the
exclusive right to operate and sub-license the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands in China, and own the East Dawning and Little Sheep concepts outright. Our 2016 Performance highlights include the following:
|
|
|
Total system sales for the year grew 5%, including growth of 6% at KFC and 3% at Pizza Hut Casual Dining, excluding foreign currency translation (F/X);
|
14
|
|
|
We opened 575 new restaurants for the full year, or 5% net growth, surpassing 7,500 restaurants in China; and
|
|
|
|
Reported operating profit for the year grew 31%.

Compensation Philosophy
The Companys historical executive compensation program has been designed to attract and retain the right talent to achieve superior stockholder results,
support long-term growth of the Company while holding our executives accountable to achieve annual results year after year. In addition, the program has historically been designed to reward performance, emphasize long-term value creation and drive
an ownership mentality.
The Companys executive compensation program has three primary pay components: base salary, annual performance-based cash
bonuses and long-term equity awards. These key elements are aligned with the Companys compensation philosophy.

Emphasize long-term value creation
The Companys belief is simple: if it creates long-term value for stockholders, then it shares a portion of that value with those responsible for the results. Stock Appreciation
Rights (SARs) reward value creation generated from sustained results and the favorable expectations of the Companys stockholders. Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) focus executives on the long-term performance of the
Company and directly align the interests of executives with those of the Companys stockholders.

Overview of 2016 Compensation Decisions
Prior to the
Spin-Off,
the Company was part of YUMs consolidated enterprise and our executive officers
participated in the compensation programs of YUM. Many of the decisions affecting the Companys executive compensation program were made in 2016 prior to the
Spin-Off
by the Management Planning &
Development Committee of YUMs Board (the YUM Compensation Committee) and some of those decisions were intended to facilitate the transition. Prior to the Spin-Off, the YUM Compensation Committee determined equity compensation with
respect to all of our executive officers as well as the cash compensation with respect to Mr. Pant, our Chief Executive Officer. For other executive officers, their cash compensation was determined prior to the
Spin-Off
by the Chief Executive Officer of YUM (YUM CEO) and the China Division CEO, except that our CFOs 2016 cash compensation before his appointment was determined by the YUM CEO and the
KFC Division CEO. Following the
Spin-Off,
the executive compensation decisions have been reviewed by the Company Compensation Committee.
Key Compensation Decisions in Connection with the
Spin-Off
In connection with the
Spin-Off,
the following key compensation decisions were made to facilitate the transition:
|
|
|
January 2016 Retention Grants
In January 2016, YUM granted special retention awards in the form of RSUs to key executive talent in order to induce them to remain employed with the Company
post-Spin-Off
and to further align their interests with the Companys stockholders
post-Spin-Off.
Under the terms of these awards, these RSUs were adjusted in the
Spin-Off
to represent equity awards with respect to the Company rather than an adjusted equity award with respect to both the Company and YUM. Mses. Wat, Lo and Ng each received these special retention awards.
|
|
|
|
Appointment of Mr.
Stedem
Effective August 1, 2016, Mr. Stedem was appointed to the position of Chief Financial Officer of YUMs China Division. In connection with
Mr. Stedems appointment, his base salary and annual target opportunity were increased to reflect his anticipated role as CFO of an independent publicly traded company. Mr. Stedems compensation adjustments were designed to
retain Mr. Stedem
post-Spin-Off
and further incentivize his performance with the Company.
|
|
|
|
Appointment of Mr.
Pant as CEO of the Company
In October 2016, the Company entered into a letter of understanding with Mr. Pant outlining the compensation terms relating to his
appointment to the position of Company CEO, including his
post-Spin-Off
base salary and annual target opportunity, his November 2016 Founders Grants (as described below), the treatment of his YUM equity
awards upon his separation from YUM, and his 2017 long-term incentive opportunity of $4,000,000. Mr. Pants compensation adjustments were designed to retain Mr. Pant
post-Spin-Off
and further
incentivize his performance with the Company.
|
|
|
|
Adjustments to Outstanding Equity Awards
Concurrent with the
Spin-Off,
holders of YUM equity-based awards, whether vested or unvested, generally received both
adjusted YUM awards and Company awards, subject only to limited exceptions. Further, Mr. Pant, as a holder of Performance Share Units (PSUs), retained his outstanding PSUs as YUM awards, adjusted to reflect the effects of the
Spin-Off.
Generally, changes to outstanding employee awards made as a result of the
Spin-Off
were consistent with the changes made to the shareholdings of all YUM
shareholders.
|
16
|
|
|
November 2016 Founders Grants
In connection with the
Spin-Off,
the YUM Compensation Committee approved, and the Company Compensation Committee affirmed, grants of
RSUs and SARs to the NEOs. These grants were intended to align the NEOs interests with those of the Company, incentivize management to maximize the value of the Company and retain critical talent.
|
Key Compensation Decisions Following the
Spin-Off
Following the
Spin-Off,
the Company Compensation Committee made the following compensation decisions to address the
evolving nature of the Company as an independent publicly traded company. Key compensation decisions made following the
Spin-Off
include:
|
|
|
Development of Peer Group for 2017 Compensation Decisions
The Company Compensation Committee retained Willis Towers Watson (WTW) as its independent compensation consultant to advise on
executive compensation matters. WTWs responsibilities for 2016 included advising the Company regarding the composition of the
post-Spin-Off
comparator peer group, providing input regarding
post-Spin-Off
compensation adjustments and the modification of the 2017 annual incentive program. WTW does not provide any other services to the Company.
|
With the assistance of its independent compensation consultant, the Company Compensation Committee adopted a new approach to peer company
selection that we believe better aligns with the executive selection and retention strategies of the Company and provides clearer comparability between the Company and the peer companies with regard to industry, geographic coverage and size. For the
purpose of evaluating 2017 compensation decisions, the Company developed two sets of peer companies for the NEOs and other executive officers. Recognizing that the Companys executive talents are sourced and recruited from a variety of
industries and different geographical regions, the Company Compensation Committee has adopted (i) a Greater China peer group consisting of 18 publicly listed companies in the food and beverage (F&B), restaurant, retail,
hospitality, consumer goods and general industries and of similar revenue size to the Company, and (ii) a U.S. peer group of 20 publicly listed companies in the restaurant, F&B, hospitality and consumer goods industries and of similar
revenue size to the Company. The Company Compensation Committee believes that the use of these two peer groups is essential to reflect the broad spectrum and diversity of executive talent and pay practices in the two markets in which we compete for
executive talent. Recognizing the evolving nature of the competitive landscape for executive talent, the Company Compensation Committee intends to reassess the peer companies on a periodic basis to evaluate the continued appropriateness of such peer
companies.
|
|
|
Approved Compensation Committee Charter
Following the
Spin-Off,
the Company Compensation Committee reviewed and approved the Company Compensation Committee Charter
to ensure program and policy oversight and decision-making authority is held at what the committee considers to be the appropriate levels of the Board, Company Compensation Committee, and management.
|
|
|
|
Approved Compensation Recovery Policy
To further align the Companys compensation program with corporate governance best practices, the Company Compensation Committee reviewed and approved the
Compensation Recovery Policy, which may require an executive officer to return certain compensation paid or the Company to cancel performance awards previously granted to the executive officer, under certain circumstances as described in the policy.
|
|
|
|
Review of Performance Measures
In connection with setting 2017 compensation opportunities, the Company Compensation Committee reviewed the performance measures used in the annual incentive plan and revised
financial performance ranges to better align the incentive payouts and the Companys performance as an independent company while maintaining the existing executive compensation program and the focus on key performance measures of the
Companys overall business and business segments for 2017.
|
17
As a newly independent company, we expect the Companys executive compensation program to evolve in support
of our
on-going
business strategy. The Company Compensation Committee will review and consider modifications to the Companys executive compensation program to reflect the Companys business
strategy, performance and evolving corporate governance practices.
Elements of the Executive Compensation Program
The executive compensation program has three primary pay components: base salary; annual performance-based cash bonuses; and long-term equity awards.
Base Salary
.
The Company provides a fixed level of cash compensation to attract and retain the right caliber talent. The base salary
is in the form of cash to compensate its executives for their primary roles and responsibilities. An executives actual salary varies based on the role, level of responsibility, experience, individual performance, future potential and the
market value of the role. After the
Spin-Off,
the Companys Compensation Committee has taken over the responsibility to review the salary levels of the executive officers annually.
Annual Performance-Based Cash Bonuses
.
The principal purpose of this annual incentive program is to motivate and reward short-term
team and individual performance. It is a cash-based plan. Prior to the
Spin-Off
in 2016, our executives participated in a performance-based annual bonus program as executives of YUMs China Division. The
performance goals were approved following the established process of YUM for its divisions at the beginning of 2016. The formula for calculating the 2016 performance-based annual bonus is the product of the following:

|
As a result of the
Spin-Off,
the 2016 performance-based annual bonus program was
bifurcated into two performance periods
pre-Spin-Off
and
post-Spin-Off
performance periods. For the
pre-Spin-Off
performance period (from January 1, 2016 to October 31, 2016), executives had a portion of their bonuses tied to the performance of YUM, while the
post-Spin-Off
performance period (from November 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016) related solely to the performance of the Company and the participants area of responsibility.
In connection with setting 2017 compensation opportunities, the Company Compensation Committee reviewed the performance measures used in the annual incentive
plan and revised financial performance ranges to better align the incentive payouts and the Companys performance as an independent company, while maintaining the existing executive compensation program and the focus on key performance measures
of the Companys overall business and operating segments for 2017.
Team Performance
.
The YUM Compensation
Committee established the performance measures, targets and weights in January 2016 after receiving input and recommendations from its management.
The performance objectives in 2016 were developed through YUMs and the Companys annual financial planning process, which took into
account growth strategies, historical performance, and the expected future operating environment of each of YUMs Divisions, including the China Division. A leverage formula for each team performance measure magnifies the potential impact that
performance above or below the performance target will have on the calculation of the annual bonus. This leverage increases the payouts when targets are exceeded and reduces payouts when performance is below target. There is a threshold level of
performance for all measures that must be met in order for any bonus to be paid. Additionally, all measures have a cap on the level of performance above which no additional bonus will be paid regardless of performance above the cap.
The team performance targets, actual results, weights and overall performance for each measure for the Companys NEOs are outlined below.

Long-Term Equity Incentives
.
YUM has historically provided long-term equity
compensation to its executives to encourage long-term decision making that creates sustainable stockholder value. In determining the size of the award, the YUM Compensation Committee considered the following:
|
|
|
Prior year individual and team performance;
|
|
|
|
Expected contribution in future years;
|
|
|
|
Consideration of the market value of the executives role compared with similar roles in YUMs historical peer group (or, in the case of the Companys NEOs other than Mr. Pant, compensation survey
data); and
|
|
|
|
Achievement of YUMs stock ownership guidelines.
|
Annual Equity
Grants
.
For 2016, the YUM Compensation Committee granted SARs as the annual equity awards for each of our NEOs. These SARs have
ten-year
terms and vest over four years.
The exercise price of each SAR grant was based on the closing market price of the underlying YUM common stock on the date of grant. Therefore, SAR awards will only have value if the share price appreciates above the awards exercise price.
Concurrently with the
Spin-Off,
holders of YUM equity-based awards (including SARs), whether vested or
unvested, generally received both adjusted YUM awards and Company awards. Accordingly, each of our NEOs received both adjusted YUM awards and Company awards with respect to their outstanding SAR awards.
Spin-Off
Grants
.
As noted above, in light of the
Spin-Off,
YUM approved special stock award grants for a number of Company executives and key employees, including the NEOs. These retention grants were intended to align the interests of participants with
those of the Company, incentivize management to maximize the value of the Company, and retain critical talent. In January 2016, YUM granted special equity incentive awards in the form of RSUs with respect to key executive talent in order to induce
these executives to remain employed with the Company
post-Spin-Off
and to further align their interests with the Companys stockholders
post-Spin-Off.
Under the
terms of these awards, these RSUs were adjusted in the
Spin-Off
to represent equity awards with respect to the Company rather than an adjusted equity award with respect to both the Company and YUM. Mses. Wat,
Lo and Ng received these special awards, each with a grant date fair value equal to approximately $400,000. These RSUs vest in 25% increments on the first and second anniversaries of the grant date, with the remaining 50% of the award vesting on the
third anniversary of the grant date.
20
In connection with the
Spin-Off,
the YUM Compensation
Committee approved, and the Company Compensation Committee affirmed, the award of Founders Grants in November 2016. These Founders Grants were delivered in the form of RSUs and SARs, with the following grant date values:

Retirement and Other Benefits
As with all Company employees, Company executive officers receive certain employment and post-employment benefits. Benefits are an important part of retention
and capital preservation for all levels of employees. Our benefits are designed to protect against the expense of unexpected catastrophic loss of health and/or earnings potential, and provide a means to save and accumulate for retirement or other
post-employment needs.
Retirement Plans.
For executives who were hired or
re-hired
after
September 30, 2001, YUM has implemented the Leadership Retirement Plan (YUMLRP). This is an unfunded, unsecured account-based retirement plan which allocates a percentage of pay to an account payable to the executive following the
later to occur of the executives separation of employment or attainment of age 55. In connection with the
Spin-Off,
the Company adopted the Yum China Holdings, Inc. Leadership Retirement Plan
(YCHLRP), the terms of which are substantially similar to the terms of the YUMLRP. For 2016, Messrs. Pant and Stedem were eligible for and received annual allocations to their accounts equal to 20% and 8%, respectively, of base
salary and target bonus.
The Company offers certain executives working in China retirement benefits under the Bai Sheng Restaurants (Hong Kong) Limited
Retirement Scheme. The scheme was registered as Yum! Restaurants (Hong Kong) Limited Retirement Scheme prior to the
Spin-Off.
Under this program, the Company provides a company-funded contribution ranging
from 5% to 10% of an executives base salary. During 2016, Ms. Wat, Ms. Lo and Ms. Ng were participants in the program. The Companys contribution for 2016 was equal to 5%, 10% and 10% of salary for Ms. Wat, Ms. Lo
and Ms. Ng, respectively. Upon termination, participants will receive a lump sum equal to a percentage of the Companys contributions inclusive of investment return. This percentage is based on a vesting schedule that provides participants
with a vested 30% interest upon completion of a minimum of three years of service, and an additional 10% vested interest for each additional completed year, up to a maximum of 100%.
In addition, prior to the
Spin-Off,
Messrs. Pant and Stedem participated in the Executive Income Deferral
(EID) Program, an unfunded, deferred compensation plan maintained by YUM. The Company did not adopt the EID post
Spin-Off
or assume any account balances or liabilities with respect to the EID
following the
Spin-Off.
Medical, Dental, Life Insurance and Disability
Coverage
.
The Company also provides other benefits such as medical, dental, life insurance and disability coverage to its executive officers through benefit plans, which are also provided to all eligible
China-based employees. Prior to the
Spin-Off,
Mr. Pant and Mr. Stedem were eligible to purchase additional life, dependent life and accidental death and dismemberment coverage as part of their
employee benefits package.
Perquisites
.
Certain perquisites are provided to certain Company executive
officers relating to overseas assignments. These perquisites are governed by the Companys formal mobility policy and are offered on a
case-by-case
basis reflecting
each executives particular circumstances but generally reflect market practices for similarly situated, globally mobile executives working in international companies based in Mainland China. For example, our NEOs receive tax equalization
benefits relating to their overseas assignments. These tax equalization payments as well as the other overseas assignment allowances provided are intended to ensure that our executives serving on overseas assignments are in the same approximate
financial position as they would have been if they have remained in their home countries during their time on overseas assignment. In addition, pursuant to Mr. Pants letter of understanding with the Company, he is eligible to receive
transportation and housing reimbursement and tax equalization payments while he is performing services in China. These perquisites are intended to help the Company attract and retain high-performing executives from different countries who have the
skill sets and experiences to successfully manage and lead the Company while living in Mainland China. These perquisites may include housing reimbursement, mobility allowances, home leave expenses, cost of living allowances, tax preparation services
and tax reimbursements for such perquisites and allowances. See the 2016 All Other Compensation Table for details.
How Compensation Decisions Are Made
Role of the Compensation Committee
.
Prior to the Spin-Off, the YUM Compensation Committee determined equity compensation
with respect to our executive officers as well as the cash compensation with respect to Mr. Pant, our CEO. For other executive officers, except Mr. Stedem prior to his appointment to the CFO role, their cash compensation was determined
prior to the
Spin-Off
by the YUM CEO and Mr. Pant. Following the
Spin-Off,
executive compensation decisions have been, and will be, made by the Company Compensation
Committee. Prior to his appointment as CFO of the Company, Mr. Stedems cash compensation was determined by the YUM CEO and the KFC Division CEO.
26
Role of the Independent Consultant
.
Prior to the
Spin-Off,
the YUM Compensation Committee retained Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (Meridian) as its independent compensation consultant. Following the
Spin-Off,
the Company Compensation Committee retained WTW to advise on executive compensation matters. WTWs responsibilities for 2016 included advising the Company regarding the composition of the
post-Spin-Off
comparator peer group, providing input regarding
post-Spin-Off
compensation adjustments and the modification of the 2017 annual incentive program. WTW does not
provide any other services to the Company. The Company Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of WTW pursuant to the NYSE rules and the Company has concluded that WTWs work for the Company Compensation Committee does not raise
any conflicts of interest.
Competitive Market Review
.
Pre-Spin-Off
Competitive Market Review
Compensation awarded prior to the
Spin-Off
was subject to a competitive market review process followed by the YUM
Compensation Committee. For Mr. Pant, the YUM Compensation Committee compared his compensation to similarly situated executives at companies that comprised its executive peer group (the YUM Peer Group). For our other executive
officers, their compensation was evaluated based on compensation survey data from multiple third-party providers, including Mercer, WTW and AonHewitt.
The 2016 YUM Peer Group consisted of the following companies:
|
|
|
|
|
AutoZone Inc.
Avon Products Inc.
Campbell Soup Company
Colgate Palmolive Company
Gap Inc.
General Mills Inc.
|
|
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc.
Kellogg
Company
Kimberly-Clark Corporation
Kohls Corporation.
Macys Inc.
McDonalds Corporation
|
|
Marriott International
Nike Inc.
Staples
Inc.
Starbucks Corporation
Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Worldwide, Inc.

Post-Spin-Off
2017 Competitive Market Review
As noted above, one of the key objectives of our executive compensation program is to retain and reward the right talent by providing competitive compensation.
Given the change in business size, structure and focus of the Company as compared to YUM following the
Spin-Off,
the Company Compensation Committee determined that it should establish a new peer group
applicable to the Company on a
go-forward
basis. As part of its engagement with the Company Compensation Committee, WTW assisted with the development of the
post-Spin-Off
peer group. Recognizing the evolving nature of the competitive landscape for executive talent, however, the Company Compensation Committee intends to reassess the peer companies on a periodic
basis to evaluate the continued appropriateness of such peer companies.
Based on its review and considering the skills, background and understanding of
the business and regulatory environments that are required of the management team to run a U.S. listed and registered company with all operations in China, WTW developed two sets of peer companies with the following characteristics:
|
|
|
Publicly listed Greater China companies primarily in the F&B, restaurant, retail, hospitality, consumer goods and general industry and of similar revenue size to the Company.
|
|
|
|
For Greater China companies, additional criteria are applied to include companies of similar market prominence and having a globally mobile executive team and appropriate pay governance practices and processes in place.
|
|
|
|
Publicly listed U.S. companies in the restaurant, F&B, hospitality and consumer goods industry and of similar revenue size as the Company.
|
27
Having considered the peer group selection criteria above and the comparability of each of the peer companies in
terms of business size, industry, regulatory environment and source of executive talent, the Company Compensation Committee approved the following two peer groups of companies to be used for purposes of evaluating 2017 executive compensation
decisions:
|
|
|
Greater China Peer Group
Cathay Pacific Airways Limited
China Mengniu Dairy Co. Ltd.
Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Ltd.
CLP Holdings Ltd.
Dah Chong Hong Holdings Limited
Esprit Holdings Limited
Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group Co., Ltd
MGM China Holdings
Limited
Sands China Ltd.
Shangri-La

Compensation Policies and Practices
Payments upon
Termination of Employment
.
The Company currently does not have agreements with its executives concerning severance payments upon termination of employment or a change in control of the Company. With the
assistance of WTW, the Company Compensation Committee anticipates reviewing market practices with respect to severance arrangements and may in the future enter into severance and/or change in control agreements with the Companys executive
officers. The award agreements with respect to the Companys outstanding equity awards provide for double trigger vesting pursuant to which outstanding awards will fully and immediately vest only if the executive is employed on the
date of a change in control of the Company and is involuntarily terminated (other than for cause) on or within two years following the change in control. In addition, in the case of an executive officers retirement, the Company provides
retirement benefits described above, life insurance benefits and the continued ability to exercise vested SARs/Options in accordance with the underlying award agreements.
Compensation Recovery Policy
.
Following the
Spin-Off,
the Company
Compensation Committee adopted the Compensation Recovery Policy. Pursuant to the policy, in the event of any restatement of the Companys financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the
securities laws, the Company Compensation Committee shall recover or cancel any performance awards which were awarded to a current or former executive officer as a result of achieving performance targets that could not have been met under the
restated results. The Companys recovery authority applies to any performance award received by such individual during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the restatement.
Under the terms of the policy, a performance award means any cash or equity-based award that is made, vests or is payable based wholly or in part on the results of a financial reporting measure.
28
Hedging and Pledging of Company Stock
.
Under the Companys Code
of Conduct, no employee or director is permitted to engage in securities transactions that would allow them either to insulate themselves from, or profit from, a decline in the Companys stock price. Similarly, no employee or director may enter
into hedging transactions in Company stock. Such transactions include (without limitation) short sales as well as any hedging transactions in derivative securities (
e.g
., puts, calls, swaps, or collars) or other speculative transactions
related to the Companys stock. Pledging of Company stock by executive officers and directors is also prohibited.
COMPENSATION
COMMITTEE REPORT
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management.
Based on such review and discussion with management, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and
Analysis be included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

of which exceeds 10% of the total amount of other benefits and the perquisites and other personal benefits that Mr. Stedem and Ms. Wat received. These amounts were valued based on the amounts paid directly to the NEO or the service

2016 Grants of Plan-Based Awards
The following table provides information on the annual incentive program that the Companys NEOs participated in during 2016 and the SARs and RSUs
granted in 2016 to the Companys NEOs. The table below includes equity granted prior to the Spin-Off by YUM. These shares were granted by YUM and were converted using the volume weighted average per share price of one share of the Company,
trading
regular-way,
as reported on the NYSE on the first post-distribution trading day. In addition to receiving a proportional number of Company shares during the conversion, the NEOs also
received shares of YUM with respect to the
pre-Spin-Off
awards other than the January 4, 2016 grants to Mses. Wat, Lo and Ng. The YUM shares received upon
conversion of the NEOs outstanding equity awards are excluded from this table. Awards made after the Spin-Off were determined based on the Companys stock price on the date of such grant.

Amounts in columns (c), (d) and (e) provide the minimum amount, target amount and maximum amount payable as annual incentive compensation under the 2016 annual bonus program based on respective team performances
and on individual performance during 2016. The actual amount of annual incentive compensation awards paid for 2016 performance are shown in column (g) of the 2016 Summary Compensation Table. The performance measurements, performance targets,
and target bonus percentages are described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning under the discussion of annual incentive compensation.

RSUs allow the grantee to receive the number of shares of the underlying common stock subject to the award upon vesting. The RSUs granted on January 4, 2016 vest 25% on each of the first and second anniversaries of
the grant date and the remaining 50% vests on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the recipients continued employment. The RSUs granted on November 11, 2016 vest 50% on each of the second and third anniversaries of the
grant date, subject to the recipients continued employment.
|
(3)
|
SARs allow the grantee to receive, in cash or the number of shares of the underlying common stock that, in each case, is equal in value to the appreciation in the underlying common stock with respect to the number of
SARs granted from the date of grant to the date of exercise. SARs become exercisable in equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the recipients continued employment.
|
(4)
|
The exercise price of the SARs equals the closing price of the underlying common stock on the respective grant dates.
|
(5)
|
The amounts reported in this column for 2016 represent the grant date fair value of the annual SAR awards and the SAR and RSU awards granted to each of the NEOs in connection with the
Spin-Off,
calculated in accordance with ASC 718. See Note 15 to the Companys Audited Financial Statements for a discussion of the relevant assumptions used in calculating these amounts.

Outstanding Equity Awards at 2016
Year-End
The following table shows the number of Company shares covered by exercisable and unexercisable SARs, and RSUs held by the Companys NEOs on
December 31, 2016. This table excludes the equity awards of YUM that were received in connection with the
Spin-Off
as those equity awards represent awards of YUM rather than of the Company and will be
administered by YUM following the
Spin-Off.
Please see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of the adjustment to equity awards in connection with the
Spin-Off.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
During 2016, Messrs. Pant and Stedem were the only NEOs who participated in the YCHLRP, an unfunded, unsecured deferred, account-based plan maintained by the
Company. The YCHLRP provides an annual allocation to the account of Messrs. Pant and Stedem equal to 20% and 8%, respectively, of their respective salary plus target bonus. In connection with the
Spin-Off,
the obligations under the YUMLRP with respect to employees continuing with the Company following the
Spin-Off
were transferred to the YCHLRP, the terms of
which are substantially similar to the terms of the YUMLRP.
The YCHLRP provides an annual earnings credit to each participants account based on the
value of participants account at the end of each year. Under the YCHLRP, Mr. Pant and Mr. Stedem receive an annual earnings credit equal to 5% of their account balances. The Companys contribution for 2016 is equal to 20% and
8%, respectively, of Mr. Pants and Mr. Stedems salary plus target bonus.
Under the YCHLRP, participants age 55 or older are
entitled to a lump sum distribution of their account balance in the quarter following their separation of employment. Participants under age 55 with a vested YCHLRP benefit combined with any other deferred compensation benefits covered under Code
Section 409A exceeds $15,000, will not receive a distribution until the calendar quarter that follows the participants 55
th
birthday. Distributions from the YCHLRP will not be made
solely as a result of the separation and distribution.
YUM offered certain executives working in China retirement benefits under the Yum! Restaurants
(Hong Kong) Limited Retirement Scheme. In connection with the
Spin-Off,
the Company adopted a substantially similar plan. Under this program, the Company provides a company funded contribution ranging from 5%
to 10% of an executives base salary. The Companys contribution for 2016 was equal to 5%, 10% and 10% of salary for Ms. Wat, Ms. Lo and Ms. Ng, respectively. Upon termination, participants will receive a lump sum equal to a
percentage of the Companys contributions inclusive of investment return. This percentage is based on a vesting schedule that provides participants with a vested 30% interest upon completion of a minimum of three years of service, and an
additional 10% vested interest for each additional completed year, up to a maximum of 100%. Participants may elect a variety of mutual funds in which to invest their account balances under the plan.

Amounts in this column primarily reflect allocations to the YUMLRP and the YCHLRP for Messrs. Pant and Stedem and allocations to the Bai Sheng Restaurants (Hong Kong) Limited Retirement Scheme for Mses. Wat, Lo and Ng.
|
(2)
|
Amounts in this column reflect earnings during the last fiscal year on amounts deferred under the YCHLRP. All earnings for Messrs. Pant and Stedem are based on the earnings credit provided under the YCHLRP
described in the narrative above this table. For Messrs. Pant and Stedem, of the earnings reflected in this column, $63,974 and $229, respectively, was deemed above market earnings accruing to their accounts under the YCHLRP. For above market
earnings on nonqualified deferred compensation, see the Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings column of the Summary Compensation Table. Under the Hong Kong Data Privacy Act, the administrator of the Bai
Sheng Restaurants (Hong Kong) Limited Retirement Scheme is restricted from disclosing individual account balances under that plan and, accordingly, the Company is unable to compile earnings information with respect to this plan. Under the terms of
the plan, participants may elect a variety of mutual funds in which to invest their account balances under the plan.

|
The amount reflected in this column is the
year-end
balance for Messrs. Pant and Stedem under the YCHLRP and the estimated
year-end
balances for Mses. Wat, Lo and Ng under the Bai Sheng Restaurants (Hong Kong) Limited Retirement Scheme.
|

|
This amount represents the aggregate amount of the Companys contributions, exclusive of investment returns. See note (2) to this table for further information regarding investment returns with respect to the Bai
Sheng Restaurants (Hong Kong) Limited Retirement Scheme. This amount was denominated in Hong Kong dollars and was converted to U.S. dollars using an exchange rate of 7.7580 for disclosure purposes.

Potential Payments Upon a Termination or a Change in Control
YCHLRP
. Under the YCHLRP, participants age 55 are entitled to a lump sum distribution of their account balance following their termination of
employment. Participants under age 55 who terminate with more than five years of service will receive their account balance at their 55
th
birthday. In case of termination of employment as of
December 31, 2016, Mr. Pant and Mr. Stedem would have received $3,374,907 and $37,492, respectively.
37
Life Insurance Benefits
. For a description of the supplemental life insurance plans that provide coverage
to the YUM executive officers, see the All Other Compensation Table above. If Mr. Pant had died on December 31, 2016, the survivors of Mr. Pant would have received Company-paid life insurance of $1,790,000 under this arrangement.
Severance and Change in Control Arrangements
. As of December 31, 2016, the Company was not a party to any severance or change in control
agreements, other than statutory requirements, entitling any of the NEOs to severance benefits upon a termination or a change in control. Under the terms of our equity agreements, all outstanding stock options and/or SARs would fully and immediately
vest following a change in control if the executive is employed on the date of the change in control of the Company and is involuntarily terminated (other than for cause) on or within two years following the change in control.
In addition, Mr. Pant is subject to a letter of understanding with the Company that specifies that any
post-Spin-Off
equity awards from the Company will be eligible for continued vesting upon retirement provided Mr. Pant (i) is actively employed for at least one year following the grant date,
(ii) provides at least six months notification of intention to retire and (iii) signs
non-solicitation
and
non-compete
agreements. For any awards where these
three conditions are not met, and for awards issued from YUM prior to his employment with the Company, the awards will be treated with the standard provisions provided for retirement in the underlying award agreements. The letter of understanding
also provides that Mr. Pants unvested awards from YUM will continue to vest during his employment with the Company and, upon his separation from the Company, Mr. Pant will be treated as a retiree from YUM and his vested SARs can be
held until the term expires and he will receive
pro-rated
vesting of his unvested SARs.
If a change in control
and the involuntary termination of one of the Companys NEOs had occurred as of December 31, 2016, the payments or other benefits set forth below would have been made or become available to them.

2016 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
The Company primarily uses stock-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the board of directors. In setting director
compensation, the board of directors considers the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company as well as the skill level required by the Company of members of the board of directors. The Nominating and
Governance Committee of the board of directors reviews and makes recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the compensation and benefits of directors on an annual basis.
Non-Employee
Directors Annual Compensation
. Our
non-employee
directors
are each compensated with an annual retainer equal to $225,000, payable in Company common stock or, if requested by a director, up to
one-half
in cash. These retainers were paid in late 2016 to compensate the
directors for their service from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017.
Chairman and Committee Chairperson Retainer
. In addition to
the annual equity retainer paid to all
non-employee
directors, the Chairman of the board of directors (Dr. Hu in 2016) receives an additional annual cash retainer of $225,000. The Chairperson of the Audit
Committee (Mr. Hsieh in 2016) receives an additional $20,000 stock retainer annually, the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee (Mr. Ettedgui in 2016) receives an additional $15,000 stock retainer annually, and the Chairperson of the
Nominating and Governance Committee (Dr. Hu in 2016) receives an additional $10,000 stock retainer annually. These retainers were paid in late 2016 to compensate the directors for their service from November 1, 2016 through
October 31, 2017.
Employee Directors
.
Employee directors do not receive additional compensation for serving on the board of directors.
The table below summarizes compensation paid to each
non-employee
director during 2016.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
Under the Companys Related Person Transaction Policies and Procedures, the Audit Committee reviews the material facts of all related person transactions
that require the Audit Committees approval and either approves or disapproves of the entry into the related person transaction. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Audit Committee will determine
whether such transaction is in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company and will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether such transaction is on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms generally
available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related persons interest in the transaction. Transactions, arrangements or relationships or any series of similar transactions, arrangements
or relationships in which (i) a related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest, (ii) the Company is a participant and (iii) that exceed $120,000 in any calendar year are subject to the Audit Committees
review. Any director who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review may not participate in any discussion or approval of the transaction, except that the director will provide all material information concerning the transaction
to the Audit Committee.
Related persons are directors, director nominees, executive officers, beneficial owners of 5% or more of the outstanding shares
of Company common stock and their immediate family members. An immediate family member includes a persons children, stepchildren, parents, stepparents, spouse, siblings, mothers- and
fathers-in-law,
sons- and
daughters-in-law,
and brothers- and
sisters-in-law
and anyone sharing such persons household (other than a tenant or employee).
After its review, the Audit Committee may approve or ratify the transaction. The policies and procedures provide that certain transactions are deemed to be
pre-approved
even if they will exceed $120,000. These transactions include employment of executive officers, director compensation and transactions with other companies if the aggregate amount of the transaction
does not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of that companys total consolidated gross revenues and the related person is not an executive officer of the other company.
Other than as described below, there were no transactions considered to be a related person transaction from November 1, 2016, the date on which the
Company became an independent publicly traded company, through the date of this prospectus.
In connection with the
spin-off,
on September 1, 2016, YUM and the Company entered into investment agreements with each of Pollos Investment L.P., an affiliate of Primavera Capital Group (Primavera), and API (Hong
Kong) Investment Limited, an affiliate of Zhejiang Ant Small and Micro Financial Services Group Co., Ltd. (Ant Financial and, together with Primavera, the Investors). Pursuant to the investment agreements, on November 1,
2016, Primavera and Ant Financial collectively invested $460 million (the Investment) in the Company in exchange for: (i) shares of the Companys common stock representing in the aggregate 4.8% of the Companys common
stock issued and outstanding immediately following the
spin-off,
after giving effect to the post-closing adjustment as discussed below and (ii) two tranches of warrants (the Warrants),
exercisable by the Investors for an approximate additional 3.9% ownership, in the aggregate, of the Companys common stock issued and outstanding after the
spin-off,
taking into account the shares
previously issued to the Investors. In connection with and at the closing of the Investment, on November 1, 2016, the Company and the Investors entered into a shareholders agreement, relating to rights and obligations of the Investors as
holders of Company common stock and Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the shareholders agreement, Primavera designated one member of the board of directors, Dr. Hu, and one
non-voting
board observer. In
addition, Ant Financial designated one
non-voting
board observer.
On January 9, 2017, following the
expiration of the post-closing measurement period specified in the investment agreements, the Company repurchased from the Investors a portion of the previously-issued shares of Company common stock at par value. In addition, the Company issued the
Warrants to the Investors. These transactions were completed pursuant to the terms of the investment agreements entered into prior to the
spin-off
and were, accordingly, approved by the board of directors of
YUM.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth the number of shares of Company common stock beneficially owned as of February 28, 2017 by (i) beneficial owners of
more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Company common stock, (ii) each of the Companys named executive officers, (iii) each of the Companys directors and director nominees and (iv) all of the Companys directors and executive
officers as a group.
In accordance with SEC rules, beneficial ownership includes all shares the stockholder actually owns beneficially or of record, all
shares over which the stockholder has or shares voting or dispositive control and all shares the stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of February 28, 2017. Except as indicated in the footnotes to the table, the Company believes that
the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares owned beneficially by them.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
In connection with the separation, outstanding awards granted under YUMs equity compensation programs (whether held by YUM or Yum China employees or
other participants) were converted into adjusted awards based on shares of YUM common stock, shares of Yum China common stock or both. Those adjusted awards that represent the right to acquire Yum China common stock, which are referred to as
Converted Awards, were granted by Yum China under the Yum China Holdings, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan, in accordance with the terms of the employee matters agreement that Yum China entered into with YUM in connection with the separation. The
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part covers shares of Yum China common stock issued pursuant to Converted Awards that were granted to individuals who, at the time of the distribution, were not employed by or serving on the
board of directors of YUM. The registration statement does not cover any shares of Yum China common stock issued pursuant to Converted Awards that were granted to any individuals who, upon completion of the distribution, were employed by or serving
on the board of directors of either YUM or Yum China, or any other awards that Yum China has granted or may grant under the Yum China Holdings, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan following the separation and distribution.
The Company expects that the expenses related to this offering will be approximately $60,443.
44
YUM CHINA HOLDINGS, INC. LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
The Company has adopted, and YUM in its then capacity as the Companys sole stockholder has approved, the Yum China Holdings, Inc. Long Term Incentive
Plan (the Plan). The Plan became effective as of the distribution date and will continue in effect until terminated by the board of directors; provided, however, that no award may be granted under the Plan on or after the tenth
anniversary of the effective date of the Plan.
Purpose
The purposes of the Plan are (i) to attract and retain persons eligible to participate in the Plan; (ii) to motivate participants, by means of
appropriate incentives, to achieve long-range goals; (iii) to provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other similar companies; (iv) to align the interests of participants with those of the our
stockholders; and (v) to issue awards pursuant to and in accordance with the employee matters agreement (the EMA). To accomplish these purposes, the Plan authorizes the award of stock options (including incentive stock options
(ISOs) and
non-qualified
stock options (NQOs)), stock appreciation rights (SARs), Full Value Awards (including restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit
awards, performance shares, and performance unit awards), and cash incentive awards, each as described below. The Plan also provides for the grant of awards with respect to our common stock as provided in the EMA (EMA Awards).
Eligibility
Any officer, director or other employee of
us or one of our subsidiaries, consultants, independent contractors or agents of us or one of our subsidiaries, and persons who are expected to become officers, employees, directors, consultants, independent contractors or agents of us or one of our
subsidiaries (but effective no earlier than the date on which such individual begins to provide services to us or one of our subsidiaries), including in any case, our
non-employee
directors (Outside
Directors) are eligible to participate in the Plan. Upon receiving a grant of an award under the Plan, an eligible individual shall be a participant in the Plan. EMA Awards will also be granted to those individuals who are entitled
to them pursuant to the EMA, as described below.
Administration of the Plan
The Plan is administered by a Committee, which generally means the Compensation Committee of the board of directors. For purposes of the Plan and
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee has the authority and discretion (a) to select from among the eligible individuals those persons who shall receive awards under the Plan, (b) to determine the time or times of
receipt, (c) to determine the types of awards and the number of shares covered by the awards, (d) to establish the terms, conditions, performance criteria, restrictions, and other provisions of such awards, and, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan, to cancel or suspend awards, (e) to the extent that the Committee determines that the restrictions imposed by the Plan preclude the achievement of the material purposes of the awards in jurisdictions outside the United
States, to modify those restrictions as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to conform to applicable requirements or practices of jurisdictions outside of the United States, (f) to conclusively interpret the Plan,
(g) to establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, (h) to determine the terms and provisions of any award agreement made pursuant to the Plan, and (i) to make all other determinations that may be
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
Except as prohibited by applicable law or as necessary to preserve exemptions under the
securities laws, the Committee may delegate any of its duties under the Plan to such agents as it determines from time to time (which delegation can be revoked at any time).
Shares Available Under the Plan
We have reserved for
issuance under the Plan 45,000,000 shares of our common stock. Shares available under the Plan may be authorized but unissued or shares currently held or subsequently acquired by us as treasury shares (to the extent permitted by law), including
shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions.
45
Each share delivered in respect of a Full Value Award is counted as covering two shares except that, in the case
of restricted stock or restricted stock units delivered pursuant to the settlement of earned annual incentives or delivered pursuant to EMA Awards, each share shall be counted as covering one share. To the extent any shares of stock covered by an
award are not delivered to a participant or beneficiary because the award is forfeited or canceled, used to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation, or settled in cash, such shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of
determining the maximum number of shares of stock available for delivery under the Plan. If the exercise price of any stock option granted under the Plan is satisfied by tendering shares of our common stock (by either actual delivery or by
attestation, including net exercise), only the number of shares of stock issued net of the shares tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of the Plan.
Other Share Limitations
The following limitations shall
apply under the Plan: (a) the number of shares available for grants of ISOs under the Plan is equal to 45,000,000; (b) the maximum number of shares that may be covered by stock options or SARs granted to any one individual during any five
calendar-year period shall be 9,000,000; (c) in the case of Full Value Awards that are intended to be performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code)
(Performance-Based Compensation), no more than 3,000,000 shares of common stock may be subject to such awards granted to any one individual during any five-calendar-year period (regardless of when such shares are deliverable); provided,
however, that, in the case of any Full Value Award that is a performance unit award that is intended to Performance-Based Compensation, no more than $10,000,000 may be subject to any such awards granted to any one individual during any
one-calendar-year
period (regardless of when such amounts are deliverable); (d) in the case of cash incentive awards that are intended to be Performance-Based Compensation, the maximum amount payable to any
participant with respect to any twelve-month performance period shall equal $10,000,000 (pro rated for performance periods that are greater or lesser than twelve months); and (e) no Outside Director may be granted during any calendar year an
award or awards having a value determined on the grant date in excess of $1,500,000.
Adjustments
In the event of a change in corporate capitalization (such as a stock split or stock dividend), a corporate transaction (such as a reorganization,
reclassification, merger or consolidation or separation), other changes in our corporate structure, or a distribution to stockholders (other than a cash dividend that is not an extraordinary cash dividend) that affects our outstanding shares common
stock, the Committee shall make such equitable adjustments, as it determines are necessary and appropriate, in: (a) the number and type of shares (or other property) with respect to which awards may be granted under the Plan; (b) the
number and type of shares (or other property) subject to outstanding awards; (c) the grant or exercise price with respect to outstanding awards; (d) the limitations on shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and the limitations on the
number of shares (or dollar amount) that can be subject to awards granted to certain individuals or within a specified time period; and (e) the terms, conditions or restrictions of outstanding awards and/or award agreements.
Awards under the Plan
Generally
The Committee shall designate the participants to whom awards are to be granted and the type of awards to be granted and shall determine the number of shares
of our common stock (or cash) subject to each award and the other terms and conditions thereof, not inconsistent with the Plan. In no event shall a stock option or SAR be exercisable later than the
ten-year
anniversary of the date on which the stock option or SAR is granted (or such shorter period required by law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the stock is listed). Awards may be settled through the delivery of shares of our common stock,
the granting of replacement awards, or combination thereof as the Committee shall determine. Any award settlement, including payment deferrals, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine.
46
Stock Options and SARs
The grant of a stock option under the Plan entitles the participant to purchase shares of our common stock at an exercise price and during a specified time
established by the Committee. Any stock option may be either an ISO or an NQO, as determined in the discretion of the Committee. An ISO is a stock option that is intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to an incentive stock
option described in Code Section 422(b) and may only be granted to employees of us or our eligible subsidiaries. An NQO is a stock option that is not intended to be an ISO. An SAR entitles the participant to receive, in cash
or stock, value equal to (or otherwise based on) the excess of: (a) the fair market value of a specified number of shares of our common stock at the time of exercise; over (b) an exercise price established by the Committee.
The exercise price of each stock option or SAR granted shall be established by the Committee or shall be determined by a method established by the
Committee at the time the stock option or SAR is granted, except that the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of a share of stock on the date of grant (except in limited circumstances such as substitute awards in the context
of a corporate transaction or EMA Awards).
The exercise price of a stock option shall be payable in cash or by tendering (including by way of a net
exercise), by either actual delivery of shares or by attestation, shares of stock acceptable to the Committee, and valued at fair market value as of the day of exercise, or in any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee or, if permitted
by the Committee, by the participants irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the stock option and remit to us a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to
pay the entire exercise price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.
In no event shall a stock option or SAR be exercisable later than the
ten-year
anniversary of the date on which the stock option or SAR is granted (or such shorter period required by law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the stock is listed).
Except for either adjustments in connection with corporate transactions (discussed above) or reductions of the exercise price approved by our stockholders,
the exercise price for any outstanding Option or SAR may not be decreased after the date of grant nor may an outstanding Option or SAR granted under the Plan be surrendered to us as consideration for the grant of a replacement Option or SAR with a
lower exercise price or a Full Value Award. Except as approved by our stockholders, in no event shall any Option or SAR granted under the Plan be surrendered to us in consideration for a cash payment if, at the time of such surrender, the exercise
price of the Option or SAR is greater than the then current fair market value of a share of our stock.
Full Value Awards
A Full Value Award is a grant of one or more shares of our common stock or a right to receive one or more shares of our common stock in the future
(including restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, and performance units) that is contingent on continuing service, the achievement of performance objectives during a specified period performance, or other restrictions as
determined by the Committee. The grant of Full Value Awards may also be subject to such other conditions, restrictions and contingencies, as determined by the Committee. Full Value Awards made to employees be subject to minimum vesting requirements
depending on the terms and purpose of the award.
Cash Incentive Awards
A Cash Incentive Award is the grant of a right to receive a payment of cash (or in the discretion of the Committee, shares of stock having value
equivalent to the cash otherwise payable) that is contingent on achievement of performance objectives over a specified period established by the Committee. The grant of Cash Incentive Awards may also be subject to such other conditions, restrictions
and contingencies, as determined by the Committee.
47
EMA Awards
As of the distribution date, the Committee shall grant EMA Awards to each individual who is entitled to an award with respect to our common stock
pursuant to the terms of the EMA or who is otherwise entitled to receive a share of our common stock pursuant to the EMA. All EMA Awards will be made in accordance with the terms of the EMA. With respect to EMA Awards, the provisions of the EMA
relating to such awards supersede any other Plan provisions.
The number of shares of our common stock subject to an EMA Award granted to an EMA
participant, and, to the extent applicable, the exercise price of the EMA Award, shall be determined in accordance with the applicable provision of the EMA and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting,
settlement and termination) as applied to the corresponding YUM award to which the EMA Award relates and otherwise shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the EMA. Any condition related to termination of a participants employment or
service with YUM or its affiliates or related to a determination by the committee charged with administration of the YUM plans shall be based on an otherwise identical condition related to the termination of a participants employment or
service with us and our subsidiaries or a determination by the Committee under this Plan, respectively and as applicable.
Performance-Based
Compensation
In general, Code Section 162(m) limits our compensation deduction to $1,000,000 paid in any tax year to any covered
employee as defined under Code Section 162(m). This deduction limitation does not apply to certain types of compensation, including Performance-Based Compensation. The terms of the Plan permit, but do not require, us to issue awards under
the Plan that meet the requirements of Performance-Based Compensation so that such awards will be deductible by us for federal income tax purposes. Full Value Awards granted under the Plan that are designated and structured as Performance-Based
Compensation will be conditioned on the achievement of one or more performance targets as determined by the Committee and one or more of the following performance measures: cash flow; earnings; earnings per share; market value added or economic
value added; profits; return on assets; return on equity; return on investment; revenues; stock price; total stockholder return; customer satisfaction metrics; or restaurant unit development. Each goal may be expressed on an absolute and/or relative
basis, may be based on or otherwise employ comparisons based on internal targets, the past performance of us and/or the past or current performance of other companies, and in the case of earnings-based measures, may use or employ comparisons
relating to capital, stockholders equity and/or shares outstanding, investments or to assets or net assets. The performance targets established by the Committee may be with respect to us, a subsidiary, operating unit, division, or group or
individual performance (or any combination thereof).
Change in Control
Subject to the provisions relating to adjustments in the context of corporate transactions (described above) and except as otherwise provided in the Plan or
the award agreement reflecting the applicable award, if a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs prior to the date on which an award is vested and prior to the participants separation from service and if the participants
employment is involuntarily terminated by us or our subsidiaries (other than for cause) on or within two years following the Change in Control, then (a) all outstanding Options and SARs (regardless of whether in tandem with a SAR or Option, as
applicable) shall become fully exercisable and (b) all Full Value Awards shall become fully vested and the Committee shall determine the extent to which performance conditions are met in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the applicable
award agreement. A YUM Change of Control will be treated as a Change in Control under the Plan with respect to vesting of EMA Awards held by YUM employees and former employees.
Transferability
Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee and expressly provided for in an award agreement, no award or any other benefit under the Plan shall be assignable or otherwise transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
48
Withholding
All distributions under the Plan are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes, and the Committee may condition the delivery of any shares or other
benefits under the Plan on satisfaction of the applicable withholding obligations. The Committee, in its discretion, and subject to such requirements as the Committee may impose prior to the occurrence of such withholding, may permit such
withholding obligations to be satisfied through cash payment by the participant, through the surrender of shares of stock which the participant already owns, or through the surrender of shares of stock to which the participant is otherwise entitled
under the Plan; provided, however, stock that has been held by the participant or stock to which the participant is entitled under the Plan may only be used to satisfy the minimum tax withholding required by applicable law (or other rates of
withholding that will not have a negative accounting impact).
Participants Outside the United States
The Committee may grant awards to eligible persons who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in
the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan. In furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures and subplans as may be
necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of laws in other countries or jurisdictions in which we or any of our subsidiaries operates or has employees. The foregoing provisions may not be applied to increase the share limitations of the Plan
or to otherwise change any provision of the Plan that would otherwise require the approval of our stockholders.
Misconduct and Recoupment
The Committee, in its discretion, may impose such restrictions on shares of stock acquired pursuant to the Plan, whether pursuant to the exercise of a stock
option or SAR, settlement of a Full Value Award or otherwise, as it determines to be desirable, including, without limitation, restrictions relating to disposition of the shares and forfeiture restrictions based on service, performance, stock
ownership by the participant, conformity with our recoupment, compensation recovery, or clawback policies and such other factors as the Committee determines to be appropriate. Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, any awards under the Plan
and any shares of stock issued pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to our compensation recovery, clawback, and recoupment policies as in effect from time to time.
If the Committee determines that a present or former employee has (a) used for profit or disclosed to unauthorized persons, confidential or trade secrets
of us, (b) breached any contract with or violated any fiduciary obligation to us, or (c) engaged in any conduct which the Committee determines is injurious to us or our subsidiaries, the Committee may cause that employee to forfeit his or
her outstanding awards under the Plan. This provision does not apply during any period where there is a potential Change in Control in effect or following a Change in Control.
Amendment and Termination of the Plan
The board of
directors may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan (and the Committee may amend any award agreement); provided, however, that no amendment or termination of the Plan or amendment of any award agreement may, in the absence of written consent to
the change by the affected participant or beneficiary, if applicable, affect the rights of any participant or beneficiary under any award granted under the Plan prior to the date of such amendment or termination. Adjustments pursuant to corporate
transactions and restructurings are not subject to the foregoing limitations. In addition, amendments to the provisions of the Plan that prohibit the repricing of stock options and SARs, amendments expanding the group of eligible individuals, or
amendments increases in the aggregate number of shares reserved under the Plan, the shares that may be issued in the form of ISOs, limitations on certain types of Full Value Awards and amendments of the individual limits on awards and the
limitations on awards to Outside Directors will not be effective unless approved by our stockholders. In addition, no amendment shall be made to the Plan without the approval of our stockholders if such approval is required by law or the rules of
any stock exchange on which the common stock is listed.
49
U.S. Federal Income Tax Implications of the Plan
The discussion that follows is a summary, based on U.S. federal tax laws and regulations presently in effect, of some significant U.S. federal income
tax considerations relating to awards under the Plan. The applicable laws and regulations are subject to change, and the discussion does not purport to be a complete description of the federal income tax aspects of the Plan. This summary does not
discuss state, local or foreign laws.
Stock Options
.
The tax treatment of a stock option depends on whether the
option is a NQO or an ISO.
The grant of an NQO will not result in taxable income to the participant. Except as described below, the participant will
realize ordinary income at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of stock acquired over the exercise price for those shares of common stock. We will be entitled to a corresponding deduction with
respect to NQOs exercised by employees and former employees of the Company business.
The grant of an ISO will not result in taxable income to the
participant. The exercise of an ISO will not result in taxable income to the participant provided that the participant was, without a break in service, an employee of us and our eligible subsidiaries (determined under tax rules) during the period
beginning on the date of the grant of the ISO and ending on the date three months prior to the date of exercise (one year prior to the date of exercise if the participant is disabled, as that term is defined in the Code).
The excess of the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time of the exercise of an ISO over the exercise price is an adjustment that is
included in the calculation of the participants alternative minimum taxable income for the tax year in which the ISO is exercised. For purposes of determining the participants alternative minimum tax liability for the year of disposition
of the shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the ISO exercise, the participant will have a basis in those shares of common stock equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock at the time of exercise.
If the participant does not sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of common stock within two years from the date of the grant of the ISO or within one year
after receiving the transfer of such shares of common stock, then, upon disposition of such shares of common stock, any amount realized in excess of the exercise price will be taxed to the participant as capital gain, and we will not be entitled to
any deduction for Federal income tax purposes with respect to dispositions by employees and former employees of the Company business.
If the foregoing
holding period requirements are not met, the participant will generally realize ordinary income, and a corresponding deduction will be allowed to us, at the time of the disposition of the shares of common stock, in an amount equal to the lesser of
(a) the excess of the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price, or (b) the excess, if any, of the amount realized upon disposition of the shares of common stock over the exercise
price. Special rules apply if an option is exercised through the exchange of previously acquired stock.
SARs
.
A participant will not
be deemed to have received any income upon the grant of a SAR. Generally, when a SAR is exercised, the excess of the market price of common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price will be taxable to a participant as ordinary income.
With respect to employees and former employees of the Company business, we are entitled to a deduction in the year of exercise equal to the amount of income taxable to such participants.
Full Value Awards
.
The federal income tax consequences of a Full Value Award will depend on the type of award. The tax treatment of the
grant of shares of common stock depends on whether the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (determined under Code rules) at the time of the grant. If the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant will
not recognize taxable income at the time of the grant and when the restrictions on the shares lapse (that is, when the shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture), the participant will recognize ordinary taxable income in an
amount equal to the fair market value of the shares at that time. If the shares are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or if the participant elects to be taxed at the time of the grant of such shares under Code Section 83(b), the
participant will recognize taxable income at the time of the grant of shares in an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares at that time, determined without regard to any of the restrictions.
50
If the shares are forfeited before the restrictions lapse, the participant will be entitled to no deduction on
account thereof. The participants tax basis in the shares is the amount recognized by him or her as income attributable to such shares. Gain or loss recognized by the participant on a subsequent disposition of any such shares is capital gain
or loss if the shares are otherwise capital assets.
In the case of other Full Value Awards, such as restricted stock units or performance stock units,
the participant generally will not have taxable income upon the grant of the award provided that there are restrictions on such awards that constitute a substantial risk of forfeiture under applicable Code rules. Participants will generally
recognize ordinary income when the restrictions on awards lapse, on the date of grant if there are no such restrictions or, in certain cases, when the award is settled. At that time, the participant will recognize taxable income equal to the cash or
the then fair market value of the shares issuable in payment of such award, and such amount will be the tax basis for any shares received. In the case of an award which does not constitute property at the time of grant (such as an award of units),
participants will generally recognize ordinary income when the award is paid or settled.
We generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in the same
amount, and at the same time, as the income is recognized by employees and former employees of the Company business.
51
MATERIAL CHINA TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a summary of material Chinese income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Company common stock. This summary is based on
China Enterprise Income Tax Law (EIT Law), Implementation Regulations of China Enterprise Income Tax Law, Chinese Individual Income Tax Law, Implementation Regulations of Chinese Individual Income Tax Law, the Chinese State
Administration of Taxation (SAT) Bulletin on Several Issues of Enterprise Income Tax on Income Arising from Indirect Transfers of Property by
Non-resident
Enterprises (Bulletin 7),
Bulletin on the Administrative Measures in respect of Individual Income Tax on Income arising from Equity Transfers, rulings and other administrative pronouncements issued by SAT, and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date of this
prospectus, and all of which are subject to differing interpretation and change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary applies only to holders of Company common stock that are not residents of China. This summary is for general
information only and is not tax advice. This summary does not address any tax considerations under laws other than Chinese income tax laws. The ownership and disposition of Company common stock may be taxable under such other tax laws and all
holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the applicability and effect of any such tax laws.
Treatment of the Company as a
China resident enterprise
Under the EIT Law and its implementation rules, an enterprise established outside China with a de facto management
body within China is considered a China resident enterprise for Chinese enterprise income tax purposes. The Company and each Company subsidiary that is organized outside of China intend to conduct their management functions in a manner that
does not cause them to be China resident enterprises, including by carrying on their
day-to-day
management activities and maintaining their key assets and records, such
as resolutions of their board of directors and resolutions of stockholders, outside of China. As such, we do not believe that the Company or any of its
non-Chinese
subsidiaries should be considered a China
resident enterprise for purposes of the EIT Law, and should not be subject to Chinese enterprise income tax on that basis. However, given the uncertainty regarding the application of the EIT Law to the Company and its future operations, there can be
no assurances that the Company or any of its
non-Chinese
subsidiaries will not be treated as a China resident enterprise now or in the future.
Chinese tax consequences of distributions to Company stockholders
No Chinese withholding tax should apply to dividends paid by the Company to
non-Chinese
stockholders, provided the
Company is not considered to be a China resident enterprise.
If the Company is considered to be a China resident enterprise, dividends paid by the
Company to
non-Chinese
stockholders will generally be subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 10%, or an individual income tax at a rate of 20% if the stockholder is an individual, unless otherwise reduced
or exempted in accordance with an applicable income tax treaty. The Company will have primary responsibility for Chinese tax filings with respect to any such withholding taxes, and
non-Chinese
stockholders
generally should not have any Chinese tax filing obligations in this regard provided the Company satisfies its obligations as the tax withholding agent.
Chinese tax consequences to stockholders of dispositions of Company shares
Gains derived from an indirect transfer of Chinese interests by a
non-resident
enterprise may be subject to Chinese
enterprise income tax at a rate of 10%. Under current law, this tax does not apply to gains recognized by individual stockholders. However, in practice there have been a few reported cases of individuals being taxed on the indirect transfer of
Chinese interests and the law could be changed so as to apply to individual stockholders, possibly with retroactive effect. For Company stockholders that are not individuals, a transfer of Company shares may be treated as an indirect transfer of
Chinese interests.
52
An exception to the Chinese enterprise income tax applies if (i) the selling
non-resident
enterprise recognizes the relevant gain by purchasing and selling equity of the same listed enterprise in the open market (the listed enterprise exception) or (ii) the selling
non-resident
enterprise would have been exempted from income tax in China if it had directly held and transferred such Chinese interests that were indirectly transferred. If Company shares are not treated as
acquired in an open market purchase the listed enterprise exception will not be available. Similarly, if Company shares are disposed of in transactions other than open market sales, such sales would not qualify for the listed enterprise exception.
If the listed enterprise exception does not apply,
non-individual
stockholders may be subject to 10% Chinese enterprise income tax on any gains recognized, unless a treaty exception applies.
In addition to the listed enterprise exception, Company stockholders that are not individuals may be exempt from the Chinese enterprise income tax with
respect to the sale of our stock if they are tax resident in a country or region that has a tax treaty or arrangement with China that provides for a capital gains tax exemption, and they qualify for that exemption.
Company stockholders that are not individuals and are not eligible for the listed enterprise exception or a treaty exemption may also be subject to Chinese
tax filing obligations in respect of any such transactions. In addition, the buyers of such shares may also be subject to Chinese tax filing obligation in respect of any such transactions and may be required to withhold the Chinese capital gains tax
payable by the seller for such shares.
Finally, as discussed above, in certain circumstances the Company may be treated as a China resident enterprise.
If the Company is treated as a China resident enterprise, a
non-individual
holder of Company stock will generally be subject to Chinese capital gains tax at a tax rate of 10%, while an individual holder of
Company stock may be subject to Chinese capital gains tax at a tax rate of 20%, as well as Chinese tax filing obligations, unless otherwise reduced or exempted in accordance with an applicable income tax treaty. In addition, a purchaser of Company
shares in such a scenario may be required to withhold the Chinese capital gains tax payable by the seller for such shares and comply with Chinese tax filing obligations.
THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS A SUMMARY OF MATERIAL CHINESE INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF SHARES OF COMPANY
COMMON STOCK UNDER CURRENT LAW AND IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. ALL HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF SHARES OF COMPANY COMMON STOCK TO THEM, INCLUDING THE
APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF CHINESE TAX LAWS.
53
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following is a summary of the material terms of our capital stock contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents, which you must read (along with the applicable provisions of Delaware law) for complete information on the Companys capital stock. Our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws to be in effect at the time of the distribution are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of
1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. As of February 28, 2017, 384,311,143 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding and no shares of
preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
Each holder of Company common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted upon by the common stockholders, and there are no
cumulative voting rights. Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably the dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of
funds legally available for that purpose. If there is a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of our common stock would be entitled to ratable distribution of its assets remaining after the payment in full of liabilities and
any preferential rights of any then-outstanding preferred stock.
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other
subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the
holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
Preferred Stock
Under the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by the DGCL,
to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series without further action by the holders of our common stock. Our board of directors has the discretion, subject to limitations prescribed by the DGCL and by our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation, to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred
stock.
As of February 28, 2017, no shares of our preferred stock were outstanding, and, other than shares of our preferred stock that may become issuable
pursuant to our rights agreement, we have no present plans to issue any shares of our preferred stock. See Stockholder Rights Plan below.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Provisions of Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL), our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws
and our stockholder rights plan could make it more difficult to acquire control of the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are expected
to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that our board of directors may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the Company to first negotiate with our board of directors. We
believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure the Company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition
proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
54
Stockholder Rights Plan.
On October 27, 2016, the Company entered into a rights agreement with
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent. Pursuant to the rights agreement, the Company issued, and holders of Company common stock received, one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of Company
common stock. Each right issued is subject to the terms of the rights agreement. The board of directors believes that the rights agreement will protect our stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics. In general terms, the rights
agreement works by imposing a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires 15% or more of the Companys outstanding common stock, without the approval of the board of directors. As an exception to the general 15% triggering
threshold, the rights agreement permits the Investors and their affiliates, in the aggregate, to acquire up to 19.9% of the Companys outstanding common stock in accordance with the terms of the shareholders agreement entered into with the
Investors at the closing of the Investment. The rights agreement will automatically terminate without further action of the board of directors on the first anniversary of the distribution date.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute.
The Company is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover statute. In general, Section 203 of the
DGCL prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless:
(i) prior to such time, the board of directors of such corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (ii) upon consummation of the transaction
that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of such corporation at the time the transaction commenced (excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock
outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) the voting stock owned by directors who are also officers or held in employee benefit plans in which the employees do not have a confidential right to tender or
vote stock held by the plan); or (iii) on or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by the board of directors of such corporation and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least
two-thirds
of the outstanding voting stock of such corporation not owned by the interested stockholder. Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction
resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested
stockholder status did own) 15% or more of a corporations voting stock. The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our board of directors, including
discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by our stockholders.
Classified Board.
The board of directors is divided into three classes of approximately equal size. The directors designated as Class I directors have terms expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the distribution, which the Company
expects to hold in 2017. The directors designated as Class II directors have terms expiring at the following years annual meeting of stockholders, which the Company expects to hold in 2018, and the directors designated as Class III
directors have terms expiring at the following years annual meeting of stockholders, which the Company expects to hold in 2019. Commencing with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the distribution, directors elected to succeed
those directors whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. Beginning at the 2019 annual meeting, all of our directors will stand for election each year for annual terms, and
our board of directors will therefore no longer be divided into three classes.
At any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors at which a
quorum is present, the election will be determined by a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote in the election, with directors not receiving a majority of the votes cast required to tender their resignations for
consideration by the board of directors, except that in the case of a contested election, the election will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote in the election. Before the board of directors is
declassified, it would take at least two elections of directors for any individual or group to gain control of the board of directors. Accordingly, while the classified board of directors is in effect, these provisions could discourage a third party
from initiating a proxy contest, making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to gain control of the Company.
55
Removal of Directors.
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that, for long as our board of directors is
classified, stockholders may only remove our directors for cause. After the board of directors has been fully declassified, stockholders may remove our directors with or without cause.
Amendments to Bylaws.
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that such bylaws may be amended by our board of directors or by the affirmative vote of a
majority of our stockholders entitled to vote.
Size of Board and Vacancies.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that
the number of directors on our board of directors will be not less than three nor more than 15, and that the exact number of directors will be fixed by resolution of a majority of our entire board of directors (assuming no vacancies). Any vacancies
created on our board of directors resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause will be filled by a majority of the board of directors then
in office, even if less than a quorum is present, or by a sole remaining director. Any director appointed to fill a vacancy on our board of directors will be appointed for a term expiring at the next election of the class for which such director has
been appointed and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified.
Special Meetings.
Our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation provides that only our board of directors (or the chairman of our board of directors, our chief executive officer or our secretary with the concurrence of a majority of our board of directors) may call special meetings of our
stockholders.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation expressly eliminates the right of our
stockholders to act by written consent. Accordingly, stockholder action must take place at the annual or a special meeting of our stockholders.
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals.
Our amended and restated bylaws establish advance notice procedures
with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors other than nominations made by or at the direction of our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors.
Proxy Access.
In addition to advance notice procedures, our amended and restated bylaws also include provisions permitting, subject to certain terms
and conditions, stockholders owning at least 3% of our outstanding common shares for at least three consecutive years to use our annual meeting proxy statement to nominate a number of director candidates not to exceed 20% of the number of directors
in office, subject to reduction in certain circumstances.
No Cumulative Voting.
The DGCL provides that stockholders are denied the right to
cumulate votes in the election of directors unless the companys certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.
Undesignated Preferred Stock.
The authority that our board of directors possesses to issue preferred stock could potentially be used to discourage
attempts by third parties to obtain control of our Company through a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making such attempts more difficult or more costly. Our board of directors may be able to issue preferred stock with voting
rights or conversion rights that, if exercised, could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock.
Limitations on Liability,
Indemnification of Officers and Directors and Insurance
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to
corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, for acts or
omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions described by Section 174 of the DGCL or for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes such an exculpation provision. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include
provisions that require the Company to indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of the Company or while serving at the Companys request as
a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that the Company must, subject to certain conditions, advance reasonable expenses
to its directors and officers. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation expressly authorizes the Company to carry directors and officers insurance to protect the Company and our directors, officers, employees and agents from
certain liabilities.
56
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation
against our directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate the Companys rights, or those of any stockholder, to
seek
non-monetary
relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a directors fiduciary duties. The provisions do not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities
laws. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification
provisions.
Exclusive Forum
Our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation provides that unless the board of directors otherwise determines, a state court of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the
Company, any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer of the Company to the Company or the Companys stockholders, creditors or other constituents, any action asserting a claim against the Company
or any director or officer of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Companys amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer
of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. However, if such court dismisses any such action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, the action may be brought in the Federal court for the District of Delaware. Although the
Companys amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes this exclusive forum provision, it is possible that a court could rule that this provision is inapplicable or unenforceable.
Authorized But Unissued Shares
Our authorized but
unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will generally be available for future issuance without the approval of the Companys stockholders. The Company may use such additional shares for a variety of purposes, including future
public offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain
control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Listing
Yum Chinas common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol YUMC.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and
registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
|
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or
eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions described by
Section 174 of the DGCL or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Companys amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes such an exculpation provision. The Companys amended
and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include provisions that require the Company to indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a
director or officer of the Company or while serving at the Companys request as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. The Companys amended and restated certificate of
incorporation also provides that the Company must, subject to certain conditions, advance reasonable expenses to its directors and officers. The Companys amended and restated certificate of incorporation expressly authorizes the Company to
carry directors and officers insurance to protect the Company and its directors, officers, employees and agents from certain liabilities.
ITEM 15.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
|
On April 1, 2016, the Company issued 1,000 shares
of its common stock to Yum! Restaurants International Management (YRIM), and the Company issued 1 share of its common stock to YRIM on each of August 2, 3 and 18, 2016, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the Securities Act). The Company did not register the issuance of such shares under the Securities Act because such issuance did not constitute a public offering.
Pursuant to the investment agreements that Yum China and YUM entered into with each of Primavera and Ant Financial on September 1, 2016 (the
Investment Agreements), Yum China issued 17,064,172.74 and 2,080,996.68 shares of common stock (together, the Investor Shares) to Primavera and Ant Financial, respectively, on November 1, 2016. The aggregate cash
consideration received by Yum China from the Investors for the Investor Shares, as well as for the right to receive warrants exercisable for additional shares of common stock, was $460 million. On January 9, 2017, following the expiration
of the post-closing measurement period specified in the Investment Agreements, the Company repurchased from Primavera and Ant Financial 699,394.74 and 85,291.68 shares of Company common stock, respectively, at par value of $0.01 per share of Company
common stock. In addition, on January 9, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreements, the Company issued to each of the Investors two tranches of warrants (together, the Warrants). Upon exercise, the first tranche of
Warrants provide Primavera and Ant Financial with the right to purchase 7,309,057 and 891,348 shares of Company common stock, respectively, at an exercise price of $31.40 per share. The second tranche of Warrants provide Primavera and Ant Financial
with the right to purchase the same number of shares of Company common stock purchasable by Primavera and Ant Financial, respectively, under the first tranche of Warrants, at an exercise price of $39.25 per share. The Warrants may be exercised at
any time or from time to time through October 31, 2021 and contain customary anti-dilution protections. The sale of the Investor Shares and the Warrants was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) the Securities Act because such
issuance did not constitute a public offering.

None.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
|
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
|
|
(i)
|
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
|
|
(ii)
|
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement;
|
|
(iii)
|
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
|
(2)
|
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
|
(3)
|
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
|
(4)
|
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
|
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating
to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used
after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration
statement or prospectus
II-2
that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5)
|
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
|
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to
the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
|
(i)
|
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
|
|
(ii)
|
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
|
|
(iii)
|
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
|
|
(iv)
|
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
|
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
