Heinz and Kraft Foods
2015.März

$62.6B The biggest completed deal of 2015 so far, this merger between the two food and beverage giants was valued at $62.6 billion. The newly created Kraft Heinz Company is the third-largest food company in the U.S. and fifth-largest in the world, measured by annual sales. Under the terms of the deal, Heinz will return to the public market with a 51 percent ownership of Kraft. Current holders of Kraft stock will own 49 percent of the company. The new company will have revenue of about $28 billion, the companies said. That’s less than half that of market leader PepsiCo in 2014. It will have eight brands worth more than $1 billion each and five worth $500 million-$1 billion each, the companies said.
