Summary
This Form 8-K filing from Kraft Foods Inc. (which would later become Mondelez International) on November 29, 2010, primarily announces the commencement of cash tender offers for two of its outstanding debt issuances: the 5.625% Notes due 2011 and the 6.25% Notes due 2012. The company is seeking to repurchase these specific notes from bondholders.

Investors should review the details of the tender offer, including pricing and expiration dates, which are elaborated in the accompanying press release.
