The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to formally announce and provide access to a press release and presentation materials that Kraft Foods Inc. (the predecessor to Mondelez International) shared at the Barclays Capital Back-to-School Consumer Conference on September 7, 2011. It ensures these disclosures are publicly available and meet regulatory requirements for timely information dissemination.
While the 8-K itself doesn't detail the content, press releases and presentations at industry conferences typically cover a company's recent financial performance, strategic initiatives, market outlook, and guidance. Investors would likely find information relevant to understanding the company's business trajectory and competitive position at that time.
No, the filing explicitly states that the information furnished as part of this 8-K (Items 7.01 and 9.01) is not deemed 'filed' for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor incorporated by reference into any other filing unless expressly stated. This means it does not carry the same level of liability for misstatements or omissions as formal SEC filings like annual or quarterly reports, though it is still important for transparency.
The actual press release is provided as Exhibit 99.1, and the slide presentation is provided as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K filing.
