Northfield / IL. (kf) Kraft Foods Inc. on Friday formally posted its merger-offer documents for Cadbury PLC shareholders to accept or reject. Based on Friday morning trading prices, the deal is worth 16,8 billion USD in stock and cash.

Under the rules of the British Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (PTM), it sets the clock ticking on the deal. Cadbury´s board has already rejected the offer, saying it undervalues the company.
