Offer Update

Introduction

On 2 February 2010, Kraft Foods declared its recommended Final Offer wholly unconditional.

On 15 February 2010, Kraft Foods commenced the procedure under Chapter 3 of Part 28 of the 2006 Act to acquire compulsorily all of the Cadbury Shares (including any Cadbury Shares represented by Cadbury ADSs) outstanding as at 12 February 2010 which it did not already hold or had not already acquired, contracted to acquire or in respect of which it had not already received valid acceptances of the Final Offer. The statutory period for objections to the compulsory acquisition ended on 29 March 2010 and, no objections having been received, Kraft Foods is in the process of completing the acquisition of those Cadbury Shares.

In accordance with Rule 31.2 of the Takeover Code, Kraft Foods has today sent a notification to Cadbury Securityholders who have not yet accepted the Final Offer and whose Cadbury Shares (including those represented by Cadbury ADSs) have not been compulsorily acquired and to persons with information rights, that Kraft Foods will close the Final Offer at 1.00 p.m. (London time)/8.00 a.m. (New York City time) on 16 April 2010.

Cadbury Securityholders who have not yet accepted the Offer and whose Cadbury Shares (including those represented by ADSs) have not been subject to compulsory acquisition who wish to accept the Offer should take action to accept the Offer as soon as possible and, in any event, by no later than 1.00 p.m. (London time)/8.00 a.m. (New York City time) on 16 April 2010. Details of the procedures for accepting the Offer are set out in the Final Offer Documents (including, in the case of certificated Cadbury Shares and


Cadbury ADSs, the Final Acceptance Forms) and in subsequent communications from Kraft Foods. The Final Offer Documents are also available on Kraft Foods’ website (www.transactioninfo.com/kraftfoods).
