| Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
On January 19, 2010, we announced the terms of our recommended final offer for each outstanding ordinary share of Cadbury plc (“Cadbury”), including each ordinary share represented by an American Depositary Share (“Cadbury ADS”). Under the terms of our recommended final offer, we agreed to pay Cadbury securityholders 500 pence in cash and 0.1874 shares of Kraft Foods common stock per Cadbury ordinary share and 2,000 pence in cash and 0.7496 shares of Kraft Foods common stock per each Cadbury ADS. If we acquire all of the outstanding Cadbury ordinary shares (including those represented by Cadbury ADSs and those issuable upon exercise of all share options) in our recommended final offer, we estimate that we will issue not more than approximately 265 million shares of Kraft Foods common stock and pay approximately £7.1 billion in cash in the aggregate.
On February 2, 2010, we announced that we had received valid acceptances of our recommended final offer in respect of a total of 987,684,041 Cadbury ordinary shares (including valid acceptances in respect of Cadbury ADSs), representing approximately 71.73% of Cadbury’s issued share capital. We also announced that all conditions relating to our recommended final offer, as set out in the offer documents dated December 4, 2009, as amended to date, have now been satisfied or waived. Accordingly, our recommended final offer is unconditional in all respects.
Our recommended final offer will remain open for acceptance until further notice. We will give at least 14 days’ notice if we decide to close our recommended final offer.
