6,528,013 common shares

Restaurant Brands International Inc.

Common Shares

We have been advised that the selling shareholder named in this prospectus supplement has entered into or will enter into a forward sale agreement relating to an aggregate of up to 6,528,013 common shares with BofA Securities, Inc. or one of its affiliates, which we refer to as the forward counterparty. An investor has indicated an interest in purchasing 3,000,000 of the common shares offered in this offering (the “Investor Shares”), on or prior to settlement of the exchange described below, on the same terms and conditions as other purchasers in this offering. We have been advised that, in order to hedge its economic exposure under the forward sale agreement, the forward counterparty or an affiliate thereof, which we refer to as the forward seller, will borrow 3,528,013 common shares from third-party stock lenders (the “Borrowed Shares”), and will sell those common shares under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus through the underwriter named in this prospectus supplement. In addition, the forward seller expects to sell up to 3,000,000 common shares under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus through the underwriter to the extent that the applicable investor purchases any Investor Shares pursuant to this offering on or prior to settlement of the exchange. We are not selling any common shares under this prospectus supplement, we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common shares under this prospectus supplement and we are not a party to the forward sale agreement. The selling shareholder will receive proceeds from the forward counterparty upon settlement of the forward sale agreement.

Our common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “QSR.” On August 9, 2024, the last reported sale price of our common shares on the NYSE and the TSX was $70.51 per share and C$96.77 per share, respectively.

The underwriter has agreed to purchase up to 6,528,013 common shares from the forward seller at a price equal to $68.31 per share, which will result in up to $445,928,568 of proceeds to the forward seller, before expenses. The underwriter may offer the common shares purchased from the forward seller from time to time in one or more transactions on the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market or through negotiated transactions at market prices at or negotiated prices. See “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest).”

The selling shareholder, an affiliate of 3G Capital Partners Ltd. (“3G Capital”), has delivered a notice to exchange 6,528,013 of its Class B exchangeable limited partnership units (the “Partnership exchangeable units”) of our majority-owned operating partnership, Restaurant Brands International Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), for 6,528,013 of our common shares. Upon settlement of the exchange, which is expected to occur on or before August 30, 2024, we will deliver such common shares to the selling shareholder. The selling shareholder expects to deliver to the forward counterparty, upon settlement of the forward sale agreement, the common shares received from us upon settlement of the exchange, less the number of Investor Shares, if any, that are not purchased by the applicable investor on or prior to settlement of the exchange.

Investing in our common shares involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-7 of this prospectus supplement and page 2 of the accompanying prospectus to read about risks that you should consider before buying our common shares. You should carefully read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, together with the documents we incorporate by reference, before you invest in our common shares.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Neither this prospectus supplement nor the accompanying prospectus constitutes a prospectus under Canadian securities laws and therefore does not qualify the securities offered hereunder in Canada.

Delivery of the common shares (other than any Investor Shares) is expected to be made on or about August 14, 2024. Delivery of any Investor Shares is expected to be made to the applicable investor on the first business day following the applicable trade date for the purchase of any Investor Shares.

These forward-looking statements represent management’s expectations as of the date they are made. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses that we made in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. However, these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include, among other things, risks related to: (1) our substantial indebtedness, which could adversely affect our financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations; (2) global economic or other business conditions that may affect the desire or ability of our customers to purchase our products, such as inflationary pressures, high unemployment levels, declines in median income growth, consumer confidence and consumer discretionary spending and changes in consumer perceptions of dietary health and food safety; (3) our relationship with, and the success of, our franchisees and risks related to our nearly fully franchised business model; (4) our franchisees’ financial stability and their ability to access and maintain the liquidity necessary to operate their

S-iii

businesses; (5) our supply chain operations; (6) our ownership and leasing of real estate; (7) the effectiveness of our marketing, advertising and digital programs and franchisee support of these programs; (8) significant and rapid fluctuations in interest rates and in the currency exchange markets and the effectiveness of our hedging activity; (9) our ability to successfully implement our domestic and international growth strategy for each of our brands and risks related to our international operations; (10) our reliance on franchisees, including subfranchisees to accelerate restaurant growth; (11) unforeseen events such as pandemics; (12) the ability of the counterparties to our credit facilities’ and derivatives’ to fulfill their commitments and/or obligations; (13) changes in applicable tax laws or interpretations thereof, and our ability to accurately interpret and predict the impact of such changes or interpretations on our financial condition and results; (14) evolving legislation and regulations in the area of franchise and labor and employment law; (15) our ability to address environmental and social sustainability issues; (16) risks related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the conflict in the Middle East; and (17) softening in the consumer environment.

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and our inability to successfully manage any of the above risks may permit our competitors to increase their market share and may decrease our profitability. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Finally, our future results will depend upon various other risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those detailed in the section entitled “Item 1A—Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”) as well as other materials that we from time to time file with, or furnish to, the Commission or file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this section and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and in the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. Other than as required under securities laws, we do not assume a duty to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or circumstances, changes in expectations or otherwise.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risks. Potential investors are urged to read and consider the risk factors relating to an investment in RBI described below and the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, including our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus, in each case, as supplemented and modified by the below. The risks and uncertainties described in these risk factors are not the only ones facing RBI. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also affect our business operations.

Risks Related to our Common Shares and this Offering

Following this offering, 3G RBH will hold approximately 25.9% of the combined voting power with respect to RBI and its interests may conflict with or differ from the interests of the other shareholders.

After the sale of the common shares to the forward counterparty to settle the forward sale agreement, 3G RBH will hold approximately 25.9% of the combined voting power with respect to RBI (or 26.6% of the combined voting power with respect to RBI if none of the Investor Shares are purchased in this offering). The interests of 3G RBH and its principals may not always be aligned with the interests of the other shareholders of RBI. So long as 3G RBH continues to directly or indirectly own a significant amount of the voting power of RBI, it will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control the business decisions of RBI. 3G RBH and its principals may have interests that are different from those of the other shareholders of RBI, and may exercise its voting and other rights in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of such shareholders.

In addition, this concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of RBI, which could cause the market price of our common shares to decline or prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their common shares or Partnership exchangeable units.

Our stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance.

The market price of our common shares may fluctuate materially from time to time in response to a number of factors, many of which we cannot control, including those described under “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business Operations” in our Annual Report. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of listed companies. These broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. In addition, our share price may be dependent upon the valuations and recommendations of the analysts who cover our business, and if our results do not meet the analysts’ forecasts and expectations, our share price could decline as a result of analysts lowering their valuations and recommendations or otherwise. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

Future sales of our common shares in the public market could cause volatility in the price of our common shares or cause the share price to fall.

The Partnership has elected to satisfy the exchange notice by delivering 6,528,013 new common shares in satisfaction of Partnership exchangeable units for which the Partnership received the exchange notice from the selling shareholder. In addition, an additional 127.1 million Partnership exchangeable units will remain outstanding following this offering which are exchangeable, on a 1:1 basis, for our common shares at any time,

S-7

subject to our ability to elect to pay cash in lieu of delivering shares. The increase of common shares eligible to be traded on the NYSE or the TSX arising from the exchange of the Partnership exchangeable units by the selling shareholder, and the sale of common shares received by other holders of Partnership exchangeable units upon exchange or the anticipation thereof, could depress the market price of our common shares.

Sales of a substantial number of our common shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common shares, and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

Certain holders of our common shares have required and others may require us to register their shares for resale under the U.S. and Canadian securities laws under the terms of certain separate registration rights agreements between us and the holders of these securities. Registration of those shares would allow the holders thereof to immediately resell their shares in the public market. Any such sales, or anticipation thereof, could cause the market price of our common shares to decline.

In addition, we have registered common shares that are reserved for issuance under our incentive plans.

Your percentage ownership in us may be diluted by future issuances of capital stock, which could reduce the influence of our shareholders over matters on which our shareholders vote.

Our board of directors has the authority, without action or vote of our shareholders, to issue an unlimited number of common shares. For example, we may issue our securities in connection with investments and acquisitions. The number of common shares issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of the then-outstanding common shares and could materially dilute the ownership of our shareholders. Issuances of common shares would reduce the influence of our common shareholders over matters on which our shareholders vote.

There is no assurance that we will pay any cash dividends on our common shares in the future.

Although our board of directors declared, and we paid, a cash dividend on our common shares and Partnership exchangeable units for each quarter of 2023 and for the first and second quarters of 2024, and our board of directors declared a dividend on our common shares and each Partnership exchangeable unit of $0.58 payable on October 4, 2024 to holders of record on September 20, 2024, any future dividends on our common shares will be determined at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, including the terms of the agreements governing our debt and any future indebtedness we may incur, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. While we are targeting a total of $2.32 in declared dividends per common share and Partnership exchangeable unit for 2024, there is no assurance that we will achieve our target total dividend for 2024 and satisfy our debt service and other obligations. Realization of a gain on an investment in our common shares and in Partnership exchangeable units will depend on the appreciation of the price of our common shares and Partnership exchangeable units, which may never occur.

RBI and Partnership may be treated as U.S. corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could subject us and Partnership to substantial additional U.S. taxes.

Because RBI and Partnership are organized under the laws of Canada, we are classified as foreign entities (and, therefore, non-U.S. tax residents) under general rules of U.S. federal income taxation that an entity is considered a tax resident in the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. Even so, the IRS may assert that we should be treated as a U.S. corporation (and, therefore, a U.S. tax resident) for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to complex rules under Section 7874 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, a retroactive or prospective change to U.S. tax laws in this area could adversely impact this classification. If we were to be treated as a U.S. corporation for federal tax purposes, we could be subject to substantially greater U.S. tax liability than currently contemplated as a non-U.S. corporation.

S-8

If a U.S. person is treated as owning at least 10% of the stock of RBI, or its non-US subsidiaries, such person may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

If a U.S. person is treated as owning (directly, indirectly or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of the stock of RBI, such person may be treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to each of RBI, if it is treated as a “controlled foreign corporation,” or CFC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes and/or any of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, with RBI, the “RBI Group”) that is a CFC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A non-U.S. corporation is considered a CFC if more than 50% of (1) the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such corporation entitled to vote, or (2) the total value of the stock of such corporation is owned, or is considered as owned by applying certain constructive ownership rules, by “United States shareholders” on any day during the taxable year of such non-U.S. corporation. If the RBI Group includes one or more U.S. subsidiaries, certain of RBI’s non-U.S. subsidiaries could be treated as CFCs regardless of whether RBI is treated as a CFC.

If RBI or any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries is a CFC, 10% “United States shareholders” of RBI, or of any such subsidiary, as the case may be, will be subject to adverse income inclusion and reporting requirements with respect to such CFC. No assurance can be provided that RBI will (1) assist holders in determining whether it or any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries is treated as a CFC or whether any holder is treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to any such CFCs or (2) furnish to any holder information that may be necessary to comply with reporting and tax payment obligations with respect to such CFCs.

S-9

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common shares in this offering. The selling shareholder will receive proceeds from the forward counterparty upon settlement of the forward sale agreement. However, under the registration rights agreement we are required to bear a portion of the expenses of the offering of common shares, except that the selling shareholder will pay any applicable underwriting fees, discounts or commissions and certain transfer taxes.

S-10

THE SELLING SHAREHOLDER

Partnership Exchangeable Units

The Partnership exchangeable units are exchangeable, at our option as general partner of the Partnership, for cash or for common shares on a one-for-one basis. For more information about the Partnership exchangeable units, see “The Securities—The Partnership—The Partnership Exchangeable Units” in the accompanying prospectus.

The Partnership has received an exchange notice representing 6,528,013 Partnership exchangeable units held by the selling shareholder, an affiliate of 3G Capital. As of August 1, 2024, the Partnership exchangeable units represented by this exchange notice represent approximately 5.3% of 3G RBH’s current holdings in RBI, or approximately 1.5% of RBI’s common shares (in each case assuming the exchange of all outstanding Partnership exchangeable units by all holders). Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, the Partnership will satisfy the above-mentioned exchange notice by exchanging 6,528,013 Partnership exchangeable units held by the selling shareholder for the same number of newly issued common shares of RBI. Upon settlement of the exchange, which is expected to occur on or before August 30, 2024, we will deliver, on behalf of the Partnership, such common shares to the selling shareholder. The selling shareholder expects to deliver to the forward counterparty, upon settlement of the forward sale agreement, the common shares received from us upon settlement of the exchange, less the number of Investor Shares, if any, that are not purchased by the Investor on or prior to settlement of the exchange.

After the sale of the common shares to the forward counterparty to settle the forward sale agreement, 3G RBH will hold approximately 25.9% of RBI’s common shares as of August 1, 2024 (or 26.6% of RBI’s common shares if none of the Investor Shares are purchased in this offering) (in each case assuming the exchange of all outstanding Partnership exchangeable units by all holders), which represents approximately 25.9% of the voting power in RBI (or 26.6% of the combined voting power in RBI if none of the Investor Shares are purchased in this offering) as of such date.

Registration Rights

The common shares covered by this prospectus supplement are being registered pursuant to provisions of a registration rights agreement between us and an affiliate of the selling shareholder. We have agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement, which includes this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, until the registrable securities covered by the registration rights agreement are sold and to pay certain expenses related to the offering. For more information regarding the registration rights agreement, see “The Securities—Registration Rights” in the accompanying prospectus.

Ownership of Selling Shareholder

The following table sets forth information about the beneficial ownership of our common shares by the selling shareholder as of August 1, 2024, (1) as adjusted to give effect to the exchange of 6,528,013 Partnership exchangeable units for RBI common shares pursuant to the exchange notice discussed above, and (2) as further adjusted to reflect the related sale of all such common shares to the forward counterparty. The table below is based on (i) 317,025,113 common shares outstanding and (ii) 133,576,590 Partnership exchangeable units outstanding as of August 1, 2024, as adjusted to reflect the exchange of 6,528,013 Partnership exchangeable units for RBI common shares.

The selling shareholder has entered into or will enter into a forward sale agreement with the forward counterparty, and the common shares offered under this prospectus supplement are being sold by the forward seller in connection with the forward sale agreement. See “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” for more details. The number and percentage of common shares beneficially owned by the selling shareholder after settlement of the forward sale agreement assumes the sale of the maximum number of common shares subject to the forward sale agreement. Information in the table below with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished by the selling shareholder.

Material Relationship

Our directors, Daniel Schwartz and Alexandre Behring are partners, and Marc Lemann is the son of a co-founder, of 3G Capital, an entity affiliated with the selling shareholder.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS TO U.S. HOLDERS

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares to a U.S. Holder (as defined below), but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax considerations relevant to a U.S. Holder. This discussion is based upon current U.S. federal income tax law, which is subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a U.S. Holder in light of such holder’s particular circumstances or to U.S. Holders subject to special rules under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including:

In addition, this discussion is limited to U.S. Holders who hold our common shares as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and does not address the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, any U.S. federal taxes other than the U.S. federal income taxes (such as estate and gift taxes), or any U.S. state, local, or non-U.S. tax considerations.

This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Treasury regulations, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, each as in effect and available on the date of this prospectus supplement. Each of the foregoing is subject to change, potentially with retroactive effect, and any such change could affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations described below.

In General

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our common shares that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is:

S-13

If a partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner in a partnership considering an investment in our common shares should consult its tax advisor with regard to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares.

Each prospective purchaser of our common shares should consult its tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of an investment in our common shares in light of its particular circumstances, including the application of the U.S. federal income tax considerations discussed below, as well as the application of state, local, non-U.S. or other tax laws.

Characterization of the Company for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes

Under current U.S. federal income tax law, a corporation generally will be considered to be resident for U.S. federal income tax purposes in its place of organization or incorporation. Section 7874 of the Code, and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, however, contain specific rules that may cause a corporation that is not organized or incorporated in the United States to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These rules are complex, and in some cases, there is limited guidance as to their application. We believe we should not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, as discussed above under “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Common Shares and this Offering—RBI and Partnership may be treated as U.S. corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could subject us and Partnership to substantial additional U.S. taxes,” there could be a change in law or subsequent change in facts that could (possibly retroactively) cause us to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The remainder of this discussion assumes that we will not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code, but there can be no assurances in this regard. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of Section 7874 of the Code to us and the consequences thereof.

Taxation of Distributions

Subject to the discussion under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Status” below, the gross amount of any distribution made by us with respect to our common shares (including any amounts withheld in respect of Canadian withholding taxes), will be taxable to U.S. Holders as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Such amount (including any Canadian taxes withheld) will be included in a U.S. Holder’s gross income on the day actually or constructively received. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our earnings and profits, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital (with a corresponding reduction in the adjusted tax basis of a U.S. Holder’s common shares), and thereafter will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a taxable disposition.

Subject to the discussion under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Status” below, as long as our common shares are traded on the NYSE (or certain other exchanges) and/or we qualify for benefits under the U.S.-Canada Tax Treaty, dividends received by individuals and other non-corporate U.S. Holders will be subject

S-14

to tax at preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that such persons hold the common shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date and meet other requirements. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the relevant rules to their particular circumstances.

The amount of any dividend paid in a foreign currency will be the U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of receipt, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, U.S. Holders generally will not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. However, a U.S. Holder may have foreign currency gain or loss if the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars after the date of receipt. The foreign currency gain or loss will be equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the U.S. dollar value of the amount included in income when the dividend was received and (ii) the amount received on the conversion of the foreign currency into U.S. dollars. Generally, any such gain or loss will be treated as ordinary income or loss and will generally be treated as U.S. source income. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the treatment of foreign currency gain or loss on any foreign currency received that is converted into U.S. dollars on a date subsequent to the date of receipt.

A dividend distribution will generally be treated as foreign-source “passive” income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. A U.S. Holder may be entitled to deduct or credit any Canadian withholding taxes on dividends in determining its U.S. income tax liability, subject to certain limitations (including that the election to deduct or credit foreign taxes applies to all of such U.S. Holder’s foreign taxes for a particular tax year). However, under U.S. foreign tax credit rules (including certain recent Treasury regulations), a withholding tax generally will need to satisfy certain additional requirements in order to be considered a creditable tax for a U.S. Holder. We have not determined whether these requirements have been met and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any withholding tax on dividends paid by us will be creditable. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) recently released notices which indicate that the Treasury Department and the IRS are considering amendments to these Treasury regulations and provide some temporary relief from certain of their provisions. The rules governing the calculation and timing of foreign tax credits and the deduction of foreign taxes are complex and depend upon a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit in their particular circumstances.

Sale or Other Disposition of Common Shares

Subject to the discussion under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Status” below, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon a sale or other disposition of its common shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized from such sale or disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such common shares. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long term capital gain or loss if our common shares have been held for more than one year. Long term capital gain recognized by individuals and other non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

If a Canadian tax is imposed on the sale or other disposition of our common shares, a U.S. Holder’s amount realized will include the gross amount of the proceeds before deduction of the Canadian tax. Because a U.S. Holder’s gain from the sale or other disposition of common shares will generally be U.S. source gain, a U.S. Holder generally will be unable to claim a credit against its U.S. federal tax liability for any Canadian tax on any such gains. In lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit, a U.S. Holder may elect to deduct foreign taxes, including Canadian taxes, if any, in computing taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. federal income tax law (including that the election to deduct or credit foreign taxes applies to all of such U.S. Holder’s foreign taxes for a particular tax year). The rules governing the calculation and timing of foreign tax credits and the deduction of foreign taxes are complex and depend upon a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit in their particular circumstances.

S-15

Medicare Tax

Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which may include all or a portion of their dividend income and net gains from the disposition of common shares. Each U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust is encouraged to consult its tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to its income and gains in respect of its investment in the common shares.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status

Certain adverse tax consequences could apply to a U.S. Holder if we are treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for any taxable year during which the U.S. Holder holds our common shares. A non-U.S. corporation, such as our company, will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year produce or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net foreign currency gains. Based on current income, assets and activities, we believe that we are not a PFIC for the current taxable year, and that we will not become a PFIC for the foreseeable future. However, the determination of whether we are or will be a PFIC must be made annually as of the close of each taxable year. Because PFIC status depends upon the composition of our income and assets and the market value of our common shares and our assets from time to time, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year, or that the IRS or a court will agree with our determination.

If we were to be treated as a PFIC, U.S. Holders of our common shares could be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences with respect to gain realized on a taxable disposition of such shares, and certain distributions received on such shares. In addition, dividends received with respect to our common shares would not constitute qualified dividend income eligible for preferential tax rates if we are treated as a PFIC for the taxable year of the distribution or for the preceding taxable year. Certain elections (including a mark-to-market election) may be available to U.S. Holders to mitigate some of the adverse tax consequences resulting from PFIC treatment. We do not expect to provide U.S. Holders with the information that is necessary to make a qualified electing fund election. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to their investment in our common shares.

Foreign Asset Reporting

Certain U.S. Holders may be required to submit to the IRS certain information with respect to their beneficial ownership of our common shares, if such common shares are not held on their behalf by a financial institution. Substantial penalties may be imposed on a U.S. Holder if such U.S. Holder is required to submit such information to the IRS and fails to do so.

FATCA

Pursuant to legislation commonly known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), foreign financial institutions (which include most foreign hedge funds, private equity funds, mutual funds, securitization vehicles and other investment vehicles) and certain other foreign entities must comply with information reporting rules with respect to their U.S. account holders and investors or be subject to a withholding tax on certain U.S. source payments made to them (whether received as a beneficial owner or as an intermediary for another party). More specifically, a foreign financial institution or other foreign entity that does not comply with FATCA reporting requirements will generally be subject to a 30% withholding tax with respect to “withholdable payments.” For this purpose, “withholdable payments” include generally U.S.-source payments

S-16

otherwise subject to nonresident withholding tax (e.g., U.S.-source dividends). Pursuant to proposed Treasury regulations, this 30% withholding does not apply to gross proceeds. In its preamble to the proposed Treasury regulations, the U.S. Treasury stated that taxpayers may generally rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued. The FATCA withholding tax will apply even if the payment would otherwise not be subject to U.S. nonresident withholding tax.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to our common shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our common shares, may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

S-17

MATERIAL CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following summary describes, as of the date hereof, the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Tax Act”) generally applicable to a purchaser who acquires as beneficial owner common shares pursuant to this offering and who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act , (1) is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada under the Tax Act or any applicable income tax treaty or convention; (2) does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, the common shares in the course of carrying on a business in Canada; (3) deals at arm’s length with RBI, the underwriter, the forward counterparty, the forward seller and the selling shareholder; (4) is not affiliated with RBI, the underwriter, the forward counterparty, the forward seller or the selling shareholder; (5) holds the common shares as capital property; (6) is entitled to all payments made in respect of the common shares (including dividends); and (7) is not an “authorized foreign bank” or a “registered non-resident insurer”, as such terms are defined in the Tax Act (a “Non-Resident Holder”). Generally, the common shares will be capital property to a Non-Resident Holder provided the Non-Resident Holder does not acquire or hold those common shares in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities or as part of an adventure or concern in the nature of trade. Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer that carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere. Additional considerations not discussed herein may apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is a member of a group of non-resident persons not dealing with each other at arm’s length, for the purposes of the Tax Act, that controls RBI within the meaning of section 212.3 of the Tax Act. Any such Non-Resident Holder should consult their own tax advisor.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act and the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the “Convention”), and counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”) and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by legislative, governmental, administrative or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account any other federal tax legislation or considerations or any tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular purchaser, and no representations concerning the tax consequences to any particular purchaser are made. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, prospective purchasers of common shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax considerations applicable to them having regard to their own particular circumstances.

Generally, for purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the common shares must be converted into Canadian dollars based on the relevant exchange rate as determined in accordance with the Tax Act. Capital gains or capital losses realized by a Non-Resident Holder may be affected by fluctuations in the Canadian / U.S. dollar exchange rate.

Dividends

Dividends paid or credited on the common shares or deemed to be paid or credited on the common shares to a Non-Resident Holder by RBI will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% on the gross amount of the dividend, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which the Non-Resident Holder is entitled under an applicable income tax treaty or convention. For example, under the Convention,

S-18

where dividends on the common shares are considered to be paid to or derived by a Non-Resident Holder that is the beneficial owner of the dividends and is a U.S. resident for the purposes of, and is entitled to all of the benefits of, the provisions of the Convention, the applicable rate of Canadian withholding tax is generally reduced to 15% or, if such a Non-Resident Holder is a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting shares of RBI, to 5%. A Non-Resident Holder is advised to consult its own tax advisor to determine its entitlement to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

Dispositions

A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of common shares, nor will capital losses arising therefrom be recognized under the Tax Act, unless the common shares constitute (or are deemed to constitute) “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under the terms of an applicable income tax treaty or convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident.

Generally, the common shares will not constitute taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Holder at any time provided that the common shares are listed at that time on a designated stock exchange for purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX and the NYSE), unless at any particular time during the immediately preceding 60-month period the following two conditions are met concurrently: (1) the Non-Resident Holder, persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder does not deal with at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act, partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act held a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, or the Non-Resident Holder together with all such persons and partnerships, has owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of RBI and (2) more than 50% of the fair market value of the common shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of: (i) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (ii) “Canadian resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), (iii) “timber resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property described in any of the foregoing (i) through (iii) whether or not the property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, common shares could be deemed to be taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Holder. Non-Resident Holders whose common shares may constitute taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.

UNDERWRITING (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)

BofA Securities, Inc. is acting as underwriter of the offering. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an underwriting agreement dated the date of this prospectus supplement, the forward seller has agreed to sell to the underwriter, and the underwriter has agreed to purchase from the forward seller, up to 6,528,013 common shares.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriter to purchase the common shares included in this offering are subject to approval of certain legal matters by counsel and to other customary conditions. The underwriter is obligated to purchase all of the Borrowed Shares in this offering if it purchases any of the common shares, and to purchase a portion of the Investor Shares equal to the number of Investor Shares (if any) purchased by the applicable investor on or prior to settlement of the exchange. The offering of our common shares by the underwriter is subject to receipt and acceptance and to the underwriter’s right to reject any order in whole or in part.

The underwriter proposes to offer our common shares from time to time for sale in one or more transactions on the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, subject to receipt and acceptance by the underwriter and subject to its right to reject any order in whole or in part. In connection with the sale of our common shares, the underwriter may be deemed to have received compensation in the form of underwriting discounts. The underwriter may effect such transactions by selling our common shares to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or purchasers of our common shares for whom they may act as an agent or to whom they may sell as principal. The difference between the price at which the underwriter purchases our common shares and the price at which the underwriter resells such shares may be deemed underwriting compensation.

We and the selling shareholder have agreed to indemnify the underwriter, the forward seller and the forward counterparty against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to contribute to payments the underwriter, the forward seller or the forward counterparty may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering payable by us will be approximately $1,000,000.

Our common shares are listed on the NYSE and on the TSX under the symbol “QSR.”

The underwriter may sell shares to employees, directors and other persons associated with 3G Capital who have expressed an interest in purchasing shares in the offering at the direction of 3G Capital.

Forward Sale Agreement

The selling shareholder has entered into or will enter into a forward sale agreement on the date of this prospectus supplement with the forward counterparty relating to an aggregate of up to 6,528,013 common shares. In connection with the execution of the forward sale agreement, and at the selling shareholder’s request, the forward seller is borrowing from third parties and selling to the underwriter in this offering an aggregate of 3,528,013 Borrowed Shares. In addition, the forward seller expects to sell to the underwriter in this offering up to 3,000,000 common shares to the extent that the applicable investor purchases any Investor Shares pursuant to this offering on or prior to settlement of the exchange.

The selling shareholder will receive an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the common shares sold in this offering, subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the forward sale agreement, from the forward counterparty upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreement.

S-20

The forward sale agreement provides for physical settlement on a settlement date to be specified at the selling shareholder’s discretion, but which the selling shareholder expects to occur on or before August 30, 2024. On such settlement date, the selling shareholder will deliver to the forward counterparty at the then-applicable forward sale price, the common shares received from us upon settlement of the exchange, less the number of Investor Shares, if any, that are not purchased by the applicable investor on or prior to settlement of the exchange. The forward sale price will initially be $68.31 per share, which is the price at which the underwriter has agreed to buy the common shares offered hereby from the forward seller. The forward sale agreement provides that the initial forward sale price will be subject to adjustment based on a floating interest rate factor equal to the overnight bank funding rate less a spread. If the overnight bank funding rate is less than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a daily reduction of the forward sale price.

The foregoing is a description of certain provisions of the forward sale agreement the selling shareholder has entered into or will enter into in connection with this offering.

Lock-Up Agreements

Each of the 3G Funds (including the selling shareholder) has entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriter prior to the commencement of this offering pursuant to which, for a period of 45 days after the date of this prospectus supplement (the “Restricted Period”), each of these persons or entities, subject to the exceptions below, may not, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common shares, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common shares, beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such person or entity or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the common shares (regardless of whether any of these transactions described in clause (i) or (ii) above are to be settled by the delivery of common shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise) or (iii) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any shares of our common shares or any security convertible into or exercisable for our common shares, in each case other than the sale, exchange or other transfer of any of our common shares: (A) pursuant to this offering and the transactions described herein (B) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (C) as a distribution to partners, members, affiliates, shareholders or stockholders of the signatory, (D) by will or intestacy, (E) to any trust, partnership, limited liability company or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the signatory or the immediate family of the signatory (“immediate family” meaning any relationship by blood, current or former marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin), (F) to any immediate family member or other dependent, (G) to any of the signatory’s affiliates, (H) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (B) through (G) above, (I) to RBI pursuant to the “cashless” exercise at expiration of options granted pursuant to any employee equity incentive plan referred to within this prospectus supplement, (J) to RBI in respect of tax withholding payments due upon the exercise at expiration of options or the vesting of restricted stock grants pursuant to any employee equity incentive plan referred to within this prospectus supplement, (K) to charitable organization transferees or recipients in an aggregate amount, together with any such transfers pursuant to any similar lock-up agreement with the underwriter, not to exceed 1.00% of the outstanding common shares on the date of this prospectus supplement, (L) transfers pursuant to a bona fide third-party takeover bid made to all holders of common shares or any other acquisition transaction whereby any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of persons, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of at least 50% of total voting power of the voting stock of RBI or the surviving entity (provided that if such transaction is not consummated, the subject common shares shall remain subject to the restrictions set forth herein), (M) pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency including pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement, (N) from an executive officer to RBI upon death, disability or termination of employment, in each case, of such executive officer, or (O) in connection with transactions by any person other than RBI relating to common shares or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of this offering; provided that (1) in the case

S-21

of clauses (C) and (O), no public filings under the Exchange Act, or Canadian securities laws or other public announcement reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of common shares shall be required or voluntarily made during the Restricted Period, (2) in the case of each transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (B), (C), (E) through (H), and (N) above, (a) each donee, trustee, distributee or transferee, as the case may be, prior to such transfer or distribution agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein (and such writing shall be delivered to BofA Securities, Inc. simultaneously with such transfer or distribution and shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to BofA Securities, Inc.); and (b) any such transfer or distribution shall not involve a disposition for value, other than with respect to any such transfer or distribution for which the transferor or distributor receives (x) equity interests of such transferee or (y) such transferee’s interests in the transferor; and (3) in the case of each transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (B) and (D) through (N) above, (i) if any public filings under the Exchange Act or Canadian securities laws or other public announcement reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of common shares shall be required during the Restricted Period such filing shall disclose that such donee, trustee, distributee or transferee, as the case may be, agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth above (to the extent required by the foregoing) and shall disclose the nature of the transfer and (ii) no public filings under the Exchange Act or Canadian securities laws or other public announcement reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of common shares shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period. In addition, the restrictions described in this paragraph shall not apply to (1) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, provided that no transfers occur under such plan during the Restricted Period and no public announcement or filing shall be required or voluntarily made by any person in connection therewith other than general disclosure in RBI periodic reports to the effect that RBI directors and officers may enter into such trading plans from time to time, (2) the exchange by the signatory of Restaurant Brands International Limited Partnership exchangeable units for common shares but any common shares resulting from such exchanges shall be subject to the requirements of this paragraph or (3) the transfer of securities to RBI due to the withholding of securities from issuances of common shares or restricted shares to directors upon resignation or termination of service for purposes of satisfying any tax withholding obligation by RBI.

In addition, we have agreed to impose and enforce the restrictions applicable to the 3G Funds set forth above with respect to each of our directors affiliated with 3G. However, neither we nor any other of our officers or directors will be subject to a lock-up agreement or similar restrictions in connection with this offering.

BofA Securities, Inc., in its sole discretion, may release the common shares and other securities subject to the lock-up agreements described above in whole or in part at any time.

Price Stabilization and Short Positions

In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves making bids for, purchasing and selling common shares in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common shares while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of the common shares, which involves the sale by the underwriter of a greater number of common shares than they are required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing common shares on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. The underwriter may close out any covered short position by purchasing common shares in the open market.

The underwriter has advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common shares, including the imposition of penalty bids.

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common shares, and, as a result, the price of the common shares may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriter commences these activities, it may discontinue them at any time. The underwriter may carry out these transactions on the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

S-22

Electronic Prospectus Delivery

A prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by the underwriter, and the underwriter may distribute this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus electronically. The underwriter may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriter for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriter on the same basis as other allocations.

Other Relationships

The underwriter and its affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriter and its affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for us, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. For example, an affiliate of the underwriter is currently a lender under our senior secured credit facility.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriter and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and instruments. Such investment and securities activities may involve our securities and instruments. The underwriter and its affiliates may also make investment recommendations or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Conflicts of Interest

All of the proceeds from the sale of common shares offered by the forward seller in this offering will be paid to the forward counterparty. Because BofA Securities, Inc., in its capacity as forward seller, will receive more than 5% of the net proceeds of this offering, BofA Securities, Inc. is deemed to have a conflict of interest within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. Accordingly, this offering will be conducted in compliance with the applicable provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. Pursuant to that rule, the appointment of a “qualified independent underwriter” is not required in connection with this offering, as the shares of common stock have a “bona fide public market” (as defined in FINRA Rule 5121). In addition, BofA Securities, Inc. may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account without the prior written approval of the customer.

Our forward-looking statements, including in prospectus and the in the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, represent management’s expectations as of the date they are made. Our forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by RBI in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. However, these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include, among other things, risks related to: (1) our substantial indebtedness, which could adversely affect our financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations; (2) global economic or other business conditions that may affect the desire or ability of our customers to purchase our products such as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflationary pressures, high unemployment levels, declines in median income growth, consumer confidence and consumer discretionary spending and changes in consumer perceptions of dietary health and food safety; (3) our relationship with, and the success of, our franchisees and risks related to our fully franchised business model; (4) our franchisees’ financial stability and their ability to access and maintain the liquidity necessary to operate their businesses; (5) our supply chain operations; (6) our ownership and leasing of real estate; (7) the effectiveness of our marketing, advertising and digital programs and franchisee support of these programs; (8) significant and rapid fluctuations in interest rates and in the currency exchange markets and the effectiveness of our hedging activity; (9) our ability to successfully implement our domestic and international growth strategy for each of our brands and risks related to our international operations; (10) our reliance on franchisees, including

3

subfranchisees to accelerate restaurant growth; (11) the ability of the counterparties to our credit facilities’ and derivatives’ to fulfill their commitments and/or obligations; and (12) changes in applicable tax laws or interpretations thereof, and our ability to accurately interpret and predict the impact of such changes or interpretations on our financial condition and results.

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and our inability to successfully manage any of the above risks may permit our competitors to increase their market share and may decrease our profitability. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Finally, our future results will depend upon various other risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those detailed in the section entitled “Item 1A—Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”) as well as other materials that we from time to time file with, or furnish to, the Commission or file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this section and elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Other than as required under securities laws, we do not assume a duty to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or circumstances, changes in expectations or otherwise.

The Partnership

Management: The General Partner

RBI is the sole general partner (the “General Partner”) of Restaurant Brands International Limited Partnership, a limited partnership organized under the laws of Ontario and a subsidiary of the RBI (f/k/a New Red Canada Limited Partnership and New Red Canada Partnership) (“Partnership”), which is the indirect parent company of Burger King, Tim Hortons, Popeyes and Firehouse Subs and manages all of Partnership’s operations and activities in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of Partnership (the “partnership agreement”). Subject to the terms of the partnership agreement and the Ontario Limited Partnerships Act, the General Partner has the full and exclusive right, power and authority to manage, control, administer and operate the business and affairs and to make decisions regarding the undertaking and business of Partnership. The partnership agreement provides that, where the General Partner is granted discretion under the partnership agreement in managing Partnership’s operations and activities, the General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests and shall have no duty or obligation (fiduciary or otherwise) to give any consideration to any interest of, or factors affecting, Partnership, and will not be subject to any other standards imposed by the partnership agreement, any other agreement, the Ontario Limited Partnerships Act or any other law. Despite the foregoing, the General Partner will only be able to take certain actions (as set forth in the partnership agreement) if the same are approved, consented to or directed by the conflicts committee of the Board of Directors (the “Conflicts Committee”).

7

Capital Structure of Partnership

The capital of Partnership consists of three classes of units: the Class A common units (“common units”), the preferred units and the Class B exchangeable limited partnership units (“Partnership exchangeable units”). The interest of General Partner is represented by common units and preferred units. The interests of the limited partners are represented by the Partnership exchangeable units.

The Partnership Exchangeable Units

Summary of Economic and Voting Rights

The Partnership exchangeable units are intended to provide economic rights that are substantially equivalent, and voting rights with respect to RBI that are equivalent, to the corresponding rights afforded to holders of our common shares. Under the terms of the partnership agreement, the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Partnership exchangeable units include the following:

8

The holders of Partnership exchangeable units are indirectly entitled to vote in respect of matters on which holders of our common shares are entitled to vote, including in respect of the election of our directors, through a special voting share of RBI. The special voting share is held by a trustee, entitling the trustee to that number of votes on matters on which holders of common shares are entitled to vote equal to the number of Partnership exchangeable units outstanding. The trustee is required to cast such votes in accordance with voting instructions provided by holders of Partnership exchangeable units. The trustee will exercise each vote attached to the special voting share only as directed by the relevant holder of Partnership exchangeable units and, in the absence of instructions from a holder of an exchangeable unit as to voting, will not exercise those votes. Except as otherwise required by the partnership agreement, voting trust agreement or applicable law, the holders of the Partnership exchangeable units are not directly entitled to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the unitholders of Partnership or to vote at any such meeting.

A more detailed description of certain economic, voting and other rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Partnership exchangeable units follows below.

Voting Rights of Holders of Partnership Exchangeable Units and Statutory Rights with Respect to RBI

Voting Rights with Respect to RBI

Under the voting trust agreement, RBI has issued one special voting share to the trustee for the benefit of the holders of Partnership exchangeable units (other than RBI and its subsidiaries). The special voting share has the number of votes, which may be cast by the trustee at any meeting at which the holders of our common shares are entitled to vote or in respect of any written consent sought by us from holders of our common shares, equal to the then outstanding number of Partnership exchangeable units (other than Partnership exchangeable units held by RBI and its subsidiaries). Each holder of a Partnership exchangeable unit (other than RBI and its subsidiaries) on the record date for any meeting or shareholder consent at which holders of our common shares are entitled to vote is entitled to instruct the trustee to exercise the votes attached to the special voting share for each Partnership exchangeable unit held by the exchangeable unitholder. The trustee will exercise each vote attached to the special voting share only as directed by the relevant holder of Partnership exchangeable units and, in the absence of instructions from a holder of a Partnership exchangeable unit as to voting, will not exercise those votes. A holder of Partnership exchangeable units may, upon instructing the trustee, obtain a proxy from the trustee entitling such holder to vote directly at the meeting the votes attached to the special voting share to which the holder of Partnership exchangeable units is entitled.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that under applicable law any matter requires the approval of the holder of record or the special voting share, voting separately as a class, the trustee will, in respect of such vote, exercise all voting rights: (i) in favor of the relevant matter where the result of the vote of the our common shares and the special voting share, voting together as a single class on such matter, was the approval of such matter; and (ii) against the relevant matter where the result of such combined vote was against the relevant matter, provided that in the event of a vote on a proposal to amend our articles to: (x) effect an exchange, reclassification or cancellation of the special voting share, or (y) add, change or remove the rights, privileges, restrictions or

conditions attached to the special voting share, in either case, where the special voting share is permitted or required by applicable law to vote separately as a single class, the trustee will exercise all voting rights for or against such proposed amendment based on whether it has been instructed to cast a majority of the votes for or against such proposed amendment.

The voting trust agreement provides that the trustee will mail or cause to be mailed (or otherwise communicate) to the holders of Partnership exchangeable units the notice of each meeting at which the holders of our common shares are entitled to vote, together with the related materials and a statement as to the manner in which the holder may instruct the trustee to exercise the votes attaching to the special voting share, on the same day as we mail (or otherwise communicate) the notice and materials to the holders of our common shares.

Statutory Rights with Respect to RBI

Wherever and to the extent that the CBCA confers a prescribed statutory right on a holder of voting shares, we have agreed that the holders of Partnership exchangeable units (other than RBI and its subsidiaries) are entitled to the benefit of such statutory rights through the trustee, as the holder of record of the special voting share. The prescribed statutory rights set out in the voting trust agreement include rights provided for in sections 21, 103(5), 137, 138(4), 143, 144, 175, 211, 214, 229, 239 and 241 of the CBCA. Upon the written request of a holder of Partnership exchangeable units delivered to the trustee, provided that certain conditions are satisfied, RBI and the trustee will cooperate to facilitate the exercise of such statutory rights on behalf of such holder so entitled to instruct the trustee as to the exercise thereof, such exercise of the statutory right to be treated, to the maximum extent possible, on the basis that such holder was the registered owner of the common shares receivable upon the exchange of the Partnership exchangeable units owned of record by such holder.

Offers for Units or Shares

The partnership agreement contains provisions to the effect that if a take-over bid is made for all of the outstanding Partnership exchangeable units and not less than 90% of the Partnership exchangeable units (other than units of Partnership held at the date of the take-over bid by or on behalf of the offeror or its associates or associates) are taken up and paid for by the offeror, the offeror will be entitled to acquire the Partnership exchangeable units held by unitholders who did not accept the offer on the terms offered by the offeror. The partnership agreement further provides that for so long as Partnership exchangeable units remain outstanding, (i) we will not propose or recommend a formal bid for our common shares, and no such bid will be effected with the consent or approval of our Board of Directors, unless holders of Partnership exchangeable units are entitled to participate in the bid to the same extent and on an equitably equivalent basis as the holders of our common shares, and (ii) we will not propose or recommend a formal bid for Partnership exchangeable units, and no such bid will be effected with the consent or approval of our Board of Directors, unless holders of our common shares are entitled to participate in the bid to the same extent and on an equitably equivalent basis as the holders of Partnership exchangeable units. Canadian securities regulatory authorities may intervene in the public interest (either on application by an interested party or by staff of a Canadian securities regulatory authority) to prevent an offer to holders of our common shares or the Partnership exchangeable units being made or completed where such offer is abusive of the holders of one of those security classes that are not subject to that offer.

Description of Debt Securities

The debt securities will be our unsecured direct obligations. The debt securities may be senior or subordinated indebtedness. The debt securities will be issued under one or more indentures between us and a trustee. Any indenture will be subject to, and governed by, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The statements made in this prospectus relating to any indenture and the debt securities to be issued under any indenture are summaries of certain anticipated provisions of the indentures, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the indentures and the debt securities.

10

General

We have filed with this registration statement a form of indenture relating to our senior securities and a form of indenture relating to our senior subordinated securities and subordinated securities. Our senior debt securities will rank equally and ratably in right of payment with other indebtedness of ours that is not subordinated, including but not limited to our 3.875% First Lien Senior Notes due 2028, 5.75% First Lien Senior Notes due 2025, 3.50% First Lien Senior Notes due 2029, 4.375% Second Lien Senior Notes due 2028 and 4.00% Second Lien Senior Notes due 2030. While such senior debt securities rank equally and ratably with our other indebtedness that is not subordinated, it is effectively junior to secured debt or debt on the level of our subsidiaries. If we issue subordinated debt securities, they will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of senior indebtedness, as defined in the applicable prospectus supplement, and may rank equally and ratably with any other subordinated indebtedness. They may, however, also be subordinated in right of payment to senior subordinated securities. See “—Subordination.” We may issue the debt securities without limit as to aggregate principal amount, in one or more series, in each case as established from time to time in or pursuant to authority granted by a resolution of our Board of Directors or as established in one or more supplemental indentures. We need not issue all debt securities of one series at the same time. Unless we otherwise provide, we may reopen a series, without the consent of the holders of such series, for issuances of additional securities of that series.

We anticipate that any indenture will provide that we may, but need not, designate more than one trustee under an indenture, each with respect to one or more series of debt securities. Any trustee under any indenture may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of debt securities, and a successor trustee may be appointed to act with respect to that series. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms relating to the series of debt securities we will offer, including, where applicable, the following:

11

We may issue debt securities at less than the principal amount payable upon maturity (we refer to these securities as “original issue discount securities”). If material or applicable, we will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement special U.S. and Canadian federal income tax, accounting and other considerations applicable to original issue discount securities.

Except as described under “—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” or as may be set forth in any prospectus supplement, an indenture will not contain any other provisions that would limit our ability to incur indebtedness or that would afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event of a highly leveraged or similar transaction involving us or in the event of a change of control. You should review carefully the applicable prospectus supplement for information with respect to events of default and covenants applicable to the debt securities being offered.

Denominations, Interest, Registration and Transfer

Unless otherwise described in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue the debt securities of any series that are registered securities in denominations that are even multiples of $1,000, other than global securities, which may be of any denomination.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will pay the interest on and principal of and premium, if any, on any debt securities at the corporate trust office of the trustee. At our option, however, we may make payment of interest by check mailed to the address of the person entitled to the payment as it appears in the applicable register or by wire transfer of funds to that person at an account maintained within the United States.

If we do not punctually pay or duly provide for interest on any interest payment date, the defaulted interest will be paid either:

12

You may have your debt securities broken into more debt securities of smaller denominations or combined into fewer debt securities of larger denominations, as long as the total principal amount is not changed. This is called an “exchange.”

You may exchange or transfer debt securities at the office of the trustee. The trustee acts as our agent for registering debt securities in the names of holders and transferring debt securities. We may change this appointment to another entity or perform it ourselves. The entity performing the role of maintaining the list of registered holders is called the “security registrar.” It will also perform transfers.

You will not be required to pay a service charge to transfer or exchange debt securities, but you may be required to pay for any tax or other governmental charge associated with the exchange or transfer. The security registrar will make the transfer or exchange only if it is satisfied with your proof of ownership.

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

Under any indenture, we are generally permitted to consolidate or merge with another company. We are also permitted to sell substantially all of our assets to another company, or to buy substantially all of the assets of another company. However, we may not take any of these actions unless all the following conditions are met:

Events of Default and Related Matters

Events of Default

The term “event of default” means any of the following:

Remedies If an Event of Default Occurs

If an event of default has occurred and has not been cured, the trustee or the holders of a significant portion in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series may declare the entire principal amount of all the debt securities of that series to be due and immediately payable. This is called a declaration of acceleration of maturity. If an event of default occurs because of certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the

13

principal amount of all the debt securities of that series will be automatically accelerated, without any action by the trustee or any holder. At any time after the trustee or the holders have accelerated any series of debt securities, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration.

Except in cases of default, where the trustee has some special duties, the trustee is not required to take any action under the applicable indenture at the request of any holders unless the holders offer the trustee reasonable protection from expenses and liability. This is known as an indemnity. If reasonable indemnity is provided, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of the relevant series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal action seeking any remedy available to the trustee. These majority holders may also direct the trustee in performing any other action under the applicable indenture, subject to certain limitations.

Before you bypass the trustee and bring your own lawsuit or other formal legal action or take other steps to enforce your rights or protect your interests relating to the debt securities, the following must occur:

We will furnish to the trustee every year a written statement of certain of our officers certifying that to their knowledge we are in compliance with the applicable indenture and the debt securities, or else specifying any default.

Modification of an Indenture

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms and conditions upon which we can make changes to an indenture or the debt securities. There are three types of changes we can make to the indentures and the debt securities:

Changes Requiring Unanimous Approval

First, there are changes we cannot make to your debt securities without your specific approval. Following is a list of those types of changes:

Changes Requiring a Majority Vote

The second type of change to an indenture and the debt securities is the kind that requires a vote in favor by holders of debt securities owning a majority of the principal amount of the particular series affected. Most changes fall into this category, except for clarifying changes and certain other changes that would not adversely affect holders of the debt securities. We require the same vote to obtain a waiver of a past default. However, we

14

cannot obtain a waiver of a payment default or any other aspect of an indenture or the debt securities listed in the first category described under “—Changes Requiring Unanimous Approval” unless we obtain your individual consent to the waiver.

Changes Not Requiring Approval

The third type of change does not require any vote by holders of debt securities. This type is limited to clarifications and certain other changes that would not adversely affect holders of the debt securities.

Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

Discharge

We may discharge some obligations to holders of any series of debt securities that either have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year, or scheduled for redemption within one year, by irrevocably depositing with the trustee, in trust, funds in the applicable currency in an amount sufficient to pay the debt securities, including any premium and interest.

Full Defeasance

We can, under particular circumstances, effect a full defeasance of your series of debt securities. By this we mean we can legally release ourselves from any payment or other obligations on the debt securities if we put in place the following arrangements to repay you:

If we did accomplish full defeasance, you would have to rely solely on the trust deposit for repayment on the debt securities. You could not look to us for repayment in the unlikely event of any shortfall. Conversely, the trust deposit would most likely be protected from claims of our lenders and other creditors if we ever become bankrupt or insolvent. You would also be released from any subordination provisions.

Covenant Defeasance

Under current U.S. federal tax law, we can make the same type of deposit described above and be released from some of the restrictive covenants in the debt securities. This is called “covenant defeasance.” In that event, you would lose the protection of those restrictive covenants but would gain the protection of having money and securities set aside in trust to repay the securities and you would be released from any subordination provisions. In order to achieve covenant defeasance, we must do the following:

15

If we accomplish covenant defeasance, the following provisions of an indenture and the debt securities would no longer apply:

If we accomplish covenant defeasance, you can still look to us for repayment of the debt securities if there were a shortfall in the trust deposit. If one of the remaining events of default occurs, for example, our bankruptcy, and the debt securities become immediately due and payable, there may be a shortfall. Depending on the event causing the default, you may not be able to obtain payment of the shortfall.

Subordination

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms and conditions, if any, upon which any series of senior subordinated securities or subordinated securities is subordinated to debt securities of another series or to other indebtedness of ours. The terms will include a description of:

Global Securities

If so set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue the debt securities of a series in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with a depositary identified in the prospectus supplement. We may issue global securities in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or permanent form. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement.

Description of Warrants

We may issue warrants for the purchase of our common shares or debt securities. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities offered by any prospectus supplement and may be attached to or separate from such securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The warrant agent will act solely as an agent of ours in connection with the warrants of such series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of the warrants. Further terms of the warrants and the applicable warrant agreements will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Copies of the form of warrant agreement and warrant will be filed as exhibits to or incorporated by reference in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and the following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.

16

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the warrants, including, where applicable, the following:

Registration Rights

We have registration rights agreements with two of our shareholders. These are discussed below.

On June 19, 2012, in connection with the merger of Burger King Worldwide Holdings, Inc., with and into Justice Holdco LLC, and the transactions related thereto (the “BKW Holdings Merger”), Burger King Worldwide entered into separate registration rights agreements with 3G Special Situations Fund II, L.P. (“3G”) and with Pershing Square, L.P., Pershing Square II, L.P., Pershing Square International, Ltd. and William Ackman (collectively, the “Pershing Shareholders”), with respect to shares of Burger King Worldwide common stock purchased by 3G and the Pershing Shareholders in connection with the BKW Holdings Merger. In connection with the series of transactions (the “Transactions”) resulting in RBI indirectly acquiring Burger King Worldwide and Tim Hortons, we assumed the obligations under these registration rights agreements with respect to the registration of common shares of RBI issued and issuable upon exchange of Partnership exchangeable units to 3G and the Pershing Shareholders as a result of the Transactions.

Pursuant to such registration rights agreements, we have agreed, under certain circumstances, to file a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the common shares held by 3G and the Pershing Shareholders. In addition, each of 3G and the Pershing Shareholders has the right to demand that we file a registration statement covering the resale of the common shares held by 3G and the Pershing Shareholders, provided that the anticipated aggregate offering price to the public (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) is at least (x) $10.0 million in the case of a registration statement on Form S-3 or takedown offering from a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and (y) $50.0 million in the case of other demands for registration. 3G and the Pershing Shareholders also have “piggyback” registration rights, pursuant to which they are entitled to notice if we propose to register our common shares for public sale, and will have the right to include their registrable securities in any such registration statement. These demand and piggyback registration rights are subject to specified conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters, if any, to limit the number of shares included in any such registration under specified circumstances.

17

Plan of Distribution

We may sell our securities, and any selling shareholder may sell common shares, in any one or more of the following ways from time to time: (i) through agents; (ii) to or through underwriters; (iii) through brokers or dealers; (iv) directly by us or any selling shareholders to investors, including through a specific bidding, auction or other process; (v) in “at the market offerings,” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise; or (vi) through a combination of any of these methods of sale. The applicable prospectus supplement and/or other offering material will contain the terms of the transaction, name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents participating in the distribution and, as applicable, the respective amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by them, the initial public offering price of the securities, and the applicable agent’s commission, dealer’s purchase price or underwriter’s discount. Any selling shareholders, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. Additionally, because selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, selling shareholders may be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

If selling shareholders are offering common shares pursuant to a prospectus supplement, will also include the following:

If any underwriters are involved in the offer and sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters and may be resold by them, either at a fixed public offering price established at the time of offering or from time to time in one or more negotiated transactions or otherwise, at prices related to prevailing market prices determined at the time of sale. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities described in the prospectus supplement if any are purchased. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

We or any selling shareholder may offer and sell the securities directly or through an agent or agents designated by us from time to time. An agent may sell securities it has purchased from us as principal to other dealers for resale to investors and other purchasers, and may reallow all or any portion of the discount received in connection with the purchase from us to the dealers. After the initial offering of the securities, the offering price (in the case of securities to be resold at a fixed offering price), the concession and the discount may be changed. Any agent participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be an “underwriter,” as that term is defined in the Securities Act, of the securities so offered and sold.

Agents, underwriters and dealers may be entitled under relevant agreements with us or any selling shareholder to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which such agents, underwriters and dealers may be required to make in respect thereof. The terms and conditions of any indemnification or contribution will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement and/or other offering material. We may pay all expenses incurred with respect to the registration of the common shares owned by any selling shareholders, other than underwriting fees, discounts or commissions, which will be borne by the selling shareholders.

If any underwriters are involved in the offer and sale, they will be permitted to engage in transactions that maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. These transactions may include over-allotment

18

transactions, purchases to cover short positions created by the underwriter in connection with the offering and the imposition of penalty bids. If an underwriter creates a short position in the securities in connection with the offering, i.e., if it sells more securities than set forth on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement, the underwriter may reduce that short position by purchasing the securities in the open market. In general, purchases of a security to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. As noted above, underwriters may also choose to impose penalty bids on other underwriters and/or selling group members. This means that if underwriters purchase securities on the open market to reduce their short position or to stabilize the price of the securities, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from those underwriters and/or selling group members who sold such securities as part of the offering.

We or any selling shareholder may also sell common shares through various arrangements involving mandatorily or optionally exchangeable securities, and this prospectus may be delivered in connection with those sales.

We or any selling shareholder may enter into derivative, sale or forward sale transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement and/or other offering material indicates, in connection with those transactions, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement and/or other offering material, including in short sale transactions and by issuing securities not covered by this prospectus but convertible into or exchangeable for or represents beneficial interests in such securities covered by this prospectus, or the return of which is derived in whole or in part from the value of such securities. The third party may use securities received under those sale, forward sale or derivative arrangements or securities pledged by us or any selling shareholder or borrowed from us, any selling shareholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us or any selling shareholder in settlement of those transactions to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment) and/or other offering material.

Additionally, any selling shareholder may engage in hedging transactions with broker-dealers in connection with distributions of shares or otherwise. In those transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with such selling shareholder. Any selling shareholder also may sell shares short and redeliver shares to close out such short positions. Any selling shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery of shares to the broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise transfer such shares pursuant to this prospectus. Any selling shareholder also may loan or pledge shares, and the borrower or pledgee may sell or otherwise transfer the shares so loaned or pledged pursuant to this prospectus. Such borrower or pledgee also may transfer those shares to investors in our securities or the selling shareholder’s securities or in connection with the offering of other securities not covered by this prospectus.

Neither we, any selling shareholder nor any underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the securities. In addition, neither we, any selling shareholder nor any underwriter make any representation that such underwriter will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us against some liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The place and time of delivery for the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement if appropriate.

19

Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, each series of offered securities will be a new issue of securities and, other than the common shares which are listed on the NYSE and the TSX, for which there currently is no market. Any underwriters to whom securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in such series of securities as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so, and any such market making may be discontinued at any time without notice. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any market for the securities.

Underwriters, agents and dealers may engage in transactions with or perform services, including various investment banking and other services, for us and/or any of our affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
