Criticism
WARREN Buffett has slammed the much coveted Kraft ʹ Cadbury deal. Buffet
who is the world's most successful investor and owner of 9.4 per cent of
Kraft͛s shares has condemned the £11.9 billion acquisition of Cadbury. He
was quoted as saying ͞It͛s a bad deal͟. he was given a chance to vote on the
deal, he would ͞vote for a no͟
The credit rating agency Fitch has also lowered the credit rating of both firms
to reflect the merged company's huge debt burden.
Some quarters in the media have also raised doubts that Kraft Foods might
sacrifice the high quality standards observed by Cadbury, now that it will
have to cut costs to pay of the debt burden.
The Unite union said it was a "very sad day for U.K. manufacturing" and that
it remained worries about the future of 7,000 workers in the U.K. and
Ireland.
Cadbury͛s second-largest shareholder, Legal & General, issued a statement
saying the final price did not ͞fully reflect the long-term value of the
company͟ and that it was ͞disappointed͟ management had recommended
the offer for an ͞iconic and unique British company͟.
Protest by workers.
