Mondelez International Announces Pricing for its Cash Tender Offer

DEERFIELD, Ill., March 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mondelez International, Inc. today announced the pricing for its previously announced cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") for its 6.500% Notes due 2040, 6.500% Notes due 2031, 5.375% Notes due 2020, 7.000% Notes due 2037, 6.875% Notes due 2038, 6.875% Notes due 2039, 6.500% Notes due 2017, 6.125% Notes due August 2018, 6.125% Notes due February 2018 and 4.125% Notes due 2016 (the "Notes").

The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, dated February 23, 2015 (the "Offer to Purchase") and related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), as amended by the company's press release issued earlier today, which set forth a description of the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. 

The consideration to be paid in the Tender Offer for each series of Notes has been determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to a fixed spread over the yield to maturity of the applicable Reference U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table below and in the Offer to Purchase (the "Tender Offer Yield").  Holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline (as defined below) that are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable "Total Consideration" listed in the table below, which includes an early tender payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase (the "Early Tender Premium").  In addition, holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on their purchased Notes from the last interest payment date for such Notes to, but excluding, the settlement date.

The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 20, 2015, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Time").  Holders of Notes must have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their Notes on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 6, 2015 (the "Early Tender Deadline") to be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration for their tendered Notes. After such time, the Notes may not be withdrawn except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law. Assuming the Tender Offer is not extended and the conditions to the Tender Offer are satisfied or waived, the company expects that settlement for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase will be on March 10, 2015 (the "Settlement Date"). As the company intends, subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, to accept for purchase the maximum combined aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be purchased in the Tender Offer on the Settlement Date, further tenders of Notes prior to the Expiration Time will not be accepted for purchase.

The company's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase under the heading "Terms of the Tender Offer—Conditions to the Tender Offer."

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell securities nor is this press release an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities. No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful. The Tender Offer is being made solely pursuant to terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, as amended by the company's press release issued earlier today.
