Dealing Disclosure Requirements 
 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code (the "Code"), if any 
person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of 
any class of "relevant securities" of Kraft Foods Inc. or of Cadbury plc, all 
"dealings" in any "relevant securities" of that company (including by means of 
an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant 
securities") must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) 
on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This 
requirement will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is 
declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or 
on which the "offer period" otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together 
pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to 
acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of Kraft Foods Inc. or of 
Cadbury plc, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 
8.3. 
 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant 
securities" of Kraft Foods Inc. or of Cadbury plc by Kraft Foods Inc. or by 
Cadbury plc, or by any of their respective "associates", must be disclosed by 
no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day following the 
date of the relevant transaction. 
 
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant 
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities 
in issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at 
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk. "Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when 
a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to 
changes in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as 
having an "interest" by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by 
virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities. 
 
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on 
the Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are 
required to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.
