Activist Shareholder Peltz Raises Stake In Cadbury Schweppes Amidst Bidding For U.S. Beverage Unit


Activist shareholder Nelson Peltz has increased his stake in Cadbury Schweppes to more than 3 percent, as bidding for the company's beverage division heats up, according to confectionerynew.com. Cadbury said in a regulatory announcement that Peltz now holds just under 73 million shares, or 3.47 per cent, an increase from the 2.98 per cent stake he originally purchased in March.

The move has increased speculation over the future of Cadbury's U.S. beverage division, the sale of which was announced in March. http://www.confectionerynews.com/news/ng.asp?n=77805&m=2CNE703&c=znumjjghqqrtenn
