Corporate and Shareholder Information
Forward-Looking Statements Safe-Harbor
This 10-K Wrap contains forward-looking statements that our pipeline is owing with exciting ideas that will accelerate our growth and improve
our margins; about our commitment to return Kraft to reliable growth and return value to shareholders; our belief that we can and will be more
aggressive with our pricing in 2008; our expectation for progressive improvement in our prot margins in 2008; our potential $100 million
businesses; that through our restructuring program we’re achieving faster savings at lower costs; our belief that beyond 2008, our efforts to
contain and reduce overhead costs will be an essential element of our prot model; our plan to move away from non-GAAP reporting in our
earnings releases and EPS guidance; our plan for an increase in what consumers prefer; the amount we’re investing in quality upgrades; that
we’re going to keep doing what we said we would do; and our expectation to get both our top and bottom lines growing in 2008. These forward-
looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and the cautionary statements contained in the “Risk Factors” in our recently led Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in any such forward-
looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, continued higher input costs, pricing actions, increased competition, our ability
to differentiate our products from private label products, increased costs of sales, our ability to realize the expected cost savings and spending
from our restructuring program, difculty in obtaining materials from our suppliers, the ability to supply our products and meet demand for our
products, our indebtedness and our ability to pay our indebtedness, unexpected safety or manufacturing issues, FDA or other regulatory actions
or delays, unanticipated expenses such as litigation or legal settlement expenses, our failure to consummate the Post merger, a shift in our product
mix to lower margin offerings, risks from operating internationally, our ability to retain key employees and tax law changes. We disclaim and do
not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this 10-K Wrap.
