Delisting of American Depositary Shares


 
TIDMCBRY 
 
For Immediate Release 24 February 2010 
 
     Cadbury plc Announces Delisting of Cadbury American Depositary Shares 
 
Cadbury plc ("Cadbury") announced on 5 February 2010 its intention to delist 
its American Depositary Shares ("Cadbury ADSs") from the New York Stock 
Exchange ("NYSE"), effective, in so far as practicable, on the same date as the 
cancellation of the listing of Cadbury ordinary shares on the Official List and 
of trading on the London Stock Exchange. 
 
Cadbury today announces that it has filed a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities 
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") today to effect the delisting. Cadbury expects 
the filing to be effective prior to the opening of trading of the NYSE on 
Monday, 8 March 2010, at which point the Cadbury ADSs will be delisted from the 
NYSE. This follows Kraft Foods Inc.'s final recommended offer for Cadbury being 
declared wholly unconditional on 2 February 2010. 
 
Following the delisting of the Cadbury ADSs from the NYSE, and if Cadbury can 
certify that there are fewer than 300 record holders of Cadbury ADSs, Cadbury 
intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC in order to deregister from the SEC and 
to terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Upon the filing of the Form 15, 
Cadbury's obligation to file periodic reports with the SEC under the Exchange 
Act will be suspended immediately. The deregistration will become effective 90 
days after such filing, unless earlier withdrawn by Cadbury or denied by the 
SEC.
