Kraft clear to delist Cadbury

Posted on February 5, 2010 5:00 PM
Kraft Foods Inc. crossed the acceptance threshold necessary to delist Cadbury plc as 75.4% of the U.K. confectioner's shareholder base signed up to the £11.7 billion ($18.8 billion) offer.

The Northfield, Ill., bidder said holders of 1.04 billion Cadbury shares had accepted its offer by 5 p.m. London time on Thursday, Feb. 4. The takeover, the result of a five-month bid battle that ended with an agreed deal last month, went unconditional as to acceptances on Tuesday.
