Kraft gets over 90 percent of Cadbury


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Kraft Foods Inc said on Monday it had just over 90 percent acceptances from Cadbury Plc shareholders in its takeover of the British confectioner.

    Kraft, after a prolonged battle for the company, said it would start a compulsory purchase of the remaining shares to close out the deal. The $18.4 billion takeover will create the world's biggest confectionery group, following a near five-month takeover fight.
