Kraft indicated its intention to make a bid for Cadbury last month, with an approach of 745p per share. The US food giant was given until 9 November to either table a formal offer or walk away from the deal by the UK’s Takeover Panel.


According to The Daily Telegraph, the top-ten shareholder indicated that such a price would reflect the “synergy benefits” of a merger.


Earlier this week, Cadbury reported better than expected third-quarter sales gains and raised its full-year revenue and margin targets.
