PRICE AT WHICH YOU ARE TENDERING
(SEE INSTRUCTION 5 TO THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL)
YOU MUST CHECK ONE BOX AND ONLY ONE BOX IF YOU WANT TO TENDER YOUR SHARES. IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED OR IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, YOUR SHARES WILL NOT BE PROPERLY TENDERED.
SHARES TENDERED AT A PRICE DETERMINED BY YOU:
By checking one of the following boxes below INSTEAD OF THE BOX UNDER “SHARES TENDERED AT A PRICE DETERMINED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER,” you are tendering shares at the price checked. This action would result in none of your shares being purchased if the purchase price selected by Domino’s Pizza, Inc. for the shares is less than the price checked below. If you want to tender portions of your shares at more than one price, you must complete a separate letter of transmittal for each price at which you tender shares. The same shares cannot be tendered at more than one price.
| | | | | | | | |
| | PRICE (IN DOLLARS) PER SHARE AT WHICH SHARES ARE BEING TENDERED | | |
| | ¨ $27.50 | | ¨ $28.50 | | ¨ $29.50 | | |
| | ¨ $27.75 | | ¨ $28.75 | | ¨ $29.75 | | |
| | ¨ $28.00 | | ¨ $29.00 | | ¨ $30.00 | | |

SHARES TENDERED AT A PRICE DETERMINED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER:
¨ | | By checking THIS ONE BOX INSTEAD OF ONE OF THE PRICE BOXES ABOVE, you are tendering shares and are willing to accept the purchase price selected by Domino’s Pizza, Inc. in accordance with the terms of our offer. This action will maximize the chance of having Domino’s Pizza, Inc. purchase your shares (subject to the possibility of proration). Shares tendered without a specified price will be treated the same as shares tendered at the minimum price of $27.50 and could result in your receiving a price per share as low as $27.50. |

¨ | | is the beneficial or record owner of fewer than 100 shares in the aggregate, all of which are being tendered; or |
¨ | | is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee that (a) is tendering for the beneficial owner(s), shares with respect to which it is the record holder, and (b) believes, based upon representations made to it by the beneficial owner(s), that each such person is the beneficial owner of fewer than 100 shares in the aggregate and is tendering all of the shares. |
In addition, the undersigned is tendering shares either (check one box):
¨ | | at the Purchase Price, as the same will be determined by Domino’s Pizza, Inc. in accordance with the terms of the offer (persons checking this box need not indicate the price per share above); or |
¨ | | at the price per share indicated in the section captioned “Shares Tendered at a Price Determined by You.” |

Conditional tender
(SEE INSTRUCTION 15 TO THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL)
You may condition your tender of shares on our purchasing a specified minimum number of your tendered shares, all as described in Section 6 of the offer to purchase. Unless the minimum number of shares you indicate below is purchased by us in our offer, none of the shares you tender will be purchased. It is your responsibility to calculate that minimum number of shares that must be purchased if any are purchased, and you are urged to consult your own tax advisor before completing this section. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum number of shares specified, your tender will be deemed unconditional.
| ¨ | | The minimum number of shares that must be purchased, if any are purchased, is: shares. |
If because of proration, the minimum number of shares that you designated above will not be purchased, we may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, you must have tendered all your shares and checked this box:
| ¨ | | The tendered shares represent all shares held by me. |
