theflyonthewall.com: Kraft Foods corporate credit rating lowered by S&P
Standard & Poor's lowered its corporate credit rating on Kraft Foods to 'BBB' from 'A-' and removed all ratings on the company from CreditWatch. "Kraft's downgrade reflects our expectation for the likely completion of its acquisition of Cadbury for GBP11.9 billion (about $19.5 billion), with 60% cash and 40% equity components," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Alison Sullivan. "We believe the substantial incremental debt that would be added to Kraft's balance sheet to fund the proposed transaction will weaken key credit metrics below our prior expectations at the current rating level." :theflyonthewall.com

theflyonthewall.com: Cadbury workers, union mount protest of Kraft deal, Times Online reports
Cadbury (CBY) workers and members of the public opposed to the Kraft Foods (KFT) takeover are meeting in the U.K. this morning in protest of the deal, the U.K.'s Times Online reports. Unite, the union, says that Kraft must give assurances that the interests of the workforce will not be swept aside in the deal, and that the quality of much-loved products will be safeguarded. The union has warned that the takeover could lead to heavy job losses in the UK and Ireland. Last week, Unite wrote to Cadbury’s shareholders, urging them to reject the GBP11.9B offer from Kraft. Investors have until February 2 to accept the offer. Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com
