Email communications with Kraft

25 March 2011

I am writing with further information requested during the above hearing.

At Q47, Mr Zahawi requested information about the total amount provided in redundancy payments and transition support for employees. We confirm that this amounts to more than £32 million, in line with Cadbury's original commitments.

At Q117, Marc Firestone spoke of his understanding that the major Intellectual Property held in the UK relating to Cadbury brands will remain in the UK, with royalty payments accordingly flowing into the UK. We can confirm that this will be the case.

I have previously provided copies of the Somerdale brochures and will provide further information regarding Q109 as soon as possible next week.

Yours sincerely

Jonathan Horrell

I am writing with further information requested during the above hearing.

At Q109, Mr Binley requested information about senior management positions in the UK. From our perspective, we think it is responsive to his question to identify the positions representing the leadership positions of the principal functions located in the UK. Nick Bunker is President Kraft Foods UK Ltd. In addition to Mr Bunker, the senior management positions in the UK include the following: Director Finance; Director Sales; Director Business Planning and Projects; Director Manufacturing, Chocolate; Director HR; Chief Counsel; Director Corporate Affairs; Director Integration; and Director Logistics and Operations. These roles are based in the UK.

With regard to our European Operating Company based in Zurich, this includes the senior category and functional management of our European-wide business.

Yours sincerely
