| 1. | Description of the Plan: |
|
General: |
||
The Kraft Foods Global, Inc. TIP Plan (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan designed to
encourage employees to save for retirement by providing eligible employees with an opportunity
to invest a portion of their compensation and to share in a matching contribution by Kraft
Foods Global, Inc. (“Kraft”) by making such investment. Kraft is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Kraft Foods Inc., which in turn, prior to March 30, 2007 was a subsidiary of Altria Group, Inc.
All of the outstanding shares of Kraft Foods Inc. owned by Altria Group, Inc. were distributed
to Altria Group, Inc. shareholders on March 30, 2007 (the “Spin-off”). Participants should
refer to the official Plan document that legally governs the operation of the Plan for a
complete description of the Plan’s provisions. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). |
||
The Plan is administered by the Management Committee for Employee Benefits of Kraft Foods
Global, Inc. (the “Committee”). The Committee delegated to the Kraft Foods Global, Inc.
Administrative Committee (the “Administrative Committee”) certain Plan administrative matters.
The Benefits Investment Committee is responsible for the selection of the investment options in
which participants elect to invest their Plan accounts, the appointment of investment managers
to manage one or more of the investment options and the monitoring of the performance of the
investment options. The Administrative Committee and the Benefits Investment Committee are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Fiduciaries.” |
||
Throughout the year, employees are transferred to various positions within Kraft. This may
result in a transfer between various retirement plans and is shown as “Transfers into Plan” on
the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. |
||
Contributions: |
||
Hourly and certain salaried employees of Kraft who are represented by designated collective
bargaining units are eligible to participate in the Plan, provided they meet eligibility
requirements. No contribution is required from any eligible employee under the Plan. The
benefits offered under the Plan may vary, depending upon the job location of the employee and
the collective bargaining unit of which he or she is a member. After completing one year of
service, eligible employees may make tax-deferred and/or after-tax contributions. Eligible
employees who make tax-deferred and/or after-tax contributions are eligible to receive matching
contributions from Kraft (the “Kraft Matching Contributions”). Participants can direct
contributions among nine investment options. |
-6-
Contributions may be made on a tax-deferred basis, an after-tax basis, or in a combination
of the two. The amount of both tax-deferred and after-tax contributions expressed as a
percentage of compensation may vary from year to year. Most eligible employees may elect
to contribute from one percent to 10 percent of their base rate of compensation, but
contributions from base compensation over $15,000 may not exceed six percent. Some eligible
employees (including employees at Naperville, Illinois, the former facility at South Edmeston,
New York and certain other facilities) may elect to contribute from one percent to 16 percent
of their compensation, but only contributions not in excess of six percent of compensation are
eligible for Kraft Matching Contributions described below. Some eligible employees (including
employees at Ontario, California and Visalia, California (beginning January 1, 2006) and
certain other facilities) may elect to contribute from one percent to 16 percent of their
compensation, but do not have a company match. |
||
Each year, Kraft Matching Contributions are based on the amount of each participant’s
contributions to the Plan, subject to certain limitations under the Code. The amount of Kraft
Matching Contributions is negotiated with each collective bargaining unit representing eligible
employees. The amount of Kraft Matching Contributions varies from 15 percent to 50 percent of
each participant’s match-eligible contributions. |
||
Participants who will be age 50 or older by the end of a Plan year are eligible to make
tax-deferred catch-up contributions up to $5,000 and $4,000, for 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The aggregate contributions actually made by participants may not cause the Plan to violate
limitations on such contributions set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”). The Code also imposes a dollar limitation on the amount of tax-deferred
contributions for a calendar year. For 2006 and 2005, a participant’s tax-deferred
contribution was limited to $15,000 and $14,000, respectively. |
||
During 2006, two of the
Plan’s investment options were the Altria Stock Fund and the Kraft Stock Fund.
The Altria Stock Fund and Kraft Stock Fund were invested in Altria Group, Inc. common stock
(“Altria Common Stock”) and Kraft Foods Inc. Class A common stock (“Kraft Common Stock”),
respectively, and cash. After March 29, 2007, new investments in the
Altria Stock Fund are not permitted, however, those who previously held units in the fund may retain
them. Additionally, participants who held units of the Altria Stock Fund at the close of
business on the Spin-off received an allocation of Kraft Stock Fund units according to the unit
allocation ratio. The unit allocation ratio was determined based on the percentage of cash on
hand in each fund and the distribution ratio of the Kraft Common Stock as part of the Spin-off
from Altria Group, Inc. |
||
Prior to March 29, 2007, Kraft was required to make matching contributions for a period of two
years in the event of a change of control of Altria Group, Inc. Effective March 29, 2007, the
Plan was amended so that Kraft is no longer required to make any Matching Contributions due to
a change of control. |
-7-
Employee Stock Ownership Plan: |
||
The employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) portion of the Plan permits each participant who has
an investment in the Kraft Stock Fund to elect, no later than the business day immediately
preceding an ex-dividend date with respect to a dividend payable on shares of Kraft Common
Stock, to have the dividend paid to them in cash or have the dividend reinvested in additional
shares of Kraft Common Stock. Prior to the Spin-off, the Plan permitted each participant in
the Altria Stock Fund to elect, no later than the business day immediately preceding an
ex-dividend date with respect to a dividend payable on shares of Altria Common Stock, to have
the dividend paid to them in cash or have the dividend reinvested in additional shares of
Altria Common Stock. |
||
Following the Spin-off, pursuant to a Plan amendment, any cash dividend declared and payable
after the Spin-off with respect to shares of Altria Common Stock in the Altria Stock Fund, are
reinvested in Kraft Common Stock (rather than in Altria Common Stock), except to the extent
that a participant elected, no later than the business day immediately preceding the
ex-dividend date for such dividend, to have the dividend paid in cash. |
||
Effective for periods after March 29, 2007, new investments in the Altria Stock Fund are not
permitted, but participants in the Altria Stock Fund may retain that investment or direct a
transfer of all or a portion of that investment to one or more of the investment options
available under the Plan. |
||
In addition, effective as of the Spin-off, the Altria Stock Fund is no longer a part of the
ESOP portion of the Plan and participants in the Altria Stock Fund are no longer permitted to
elect to have their share of any dividends payable on Altria Common Stock either paid to them
in cash or reinvested in Altria Common Stock. Instead, participants’ share of any dividends
declared on Altria Common Stock and payable after the Spin-off will be invested in accordance
with their investment election for future contributions in effect as of the business day
immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such future dividends. |
||
Master Trust: |
||
Assets of the Plan are co-invested with the assets of other defined contribution plans
sponsored by Kraft in a commingled investment fund known as the Kraft Foods North America, Inc.
Master Defined Contribution Trust (the “Master Trust”) for which State Street Bank and Trust
Company serves as the trustee. |
||
Participant Accounts: |
||
Each participant’s Plan accounts, which may include a Kraft Matching Contributions account,
tax-deferred contributions, after-tax contributions, rollover accounts and prior plan accounts,
are credited with the participant’s contributions, or the Kraft Matching Contributions, as
applicable, and the allocated share of the investment activities of each investment option in
which he or she participates. |
-8-
Vesting: |
||
Each participant is at all times fully vested (1) in the balance held in his or her
tax-deferred contributions, after-tax contributions, rollover accounts and prior plan accounts,
(2) in the balance held in his or her Kraft Matching Contributions account attributable to
amounts contributed before January 1, 1986 or transferred from the General Foods Employee Stock
Ownership Plan and (3) in his or her share of any dividends paid from the Altria Stock Fund
and/or the Kraft Stock Fund (including the Kraft Matching
Contributions account). A participant shall be fully vested in the Kraft Matching Contributions account upon attainment
of age 65; permanent and total disability or death while employed by Kraft, or any of its
affiliates; or upon a termination of the Plan (see Note 7). Otherwise, a participant who is
employed by Kraft, or any of its affiliates, shall become vested in the Kraft Matching
Contributions account based on the number of years of vesting service determined in accordance
with the following schedule: |
| Years of Service | Vested Percentage | |||||
| Less than 2 | 0 | % | ||||
| 2 but less than 3 | 25 | % | ||||
| 3 but less than 4 | 50 | % | ||||
| 4 but less than 5 | 75 | % | ||||
| 5 or more | 100 | % | ||||
Kraft Matching Contributions forfeited by terminated participants are used to reduce future
Kraft Matching Contributions to the Plan. The amount of forfeitures for the year ended
December 31, 2006 was immaterial. |
||
As a result of the Spin-off, periods of service with Altria Group, Inc. or its affiliates after
March 30, 2007 do not count towards a participant’s years of vesting service for purposes of
the Plan. The Plan was amended, effective March 29, 2007 to eliminate a change in control of
Altria Group, Inc. as an event that would trigger acceleration of the vesting of the Kraft
Matching Contributions. |
||
Distributions and Withdrawals: |
||
A participant may take a distribution of his or her Plan accounts following a separation from
service or attainment of age 591/2. Upon termination of employment, including retirement, a
participant has numerous options available, as described in the Plan, with respect to the
distribution of his or her Plan accounts. Participants employed at Altria Group, Inc. or one
of its affiliates after the Spin-off are considered to have terminated employment for purposes
of the Plan on March 30, 2007. Participants who transferred to Altria Group, Inc. before or
within 180 days following the Spin-off are not treated as having terminated employment due to
the Spin-off for purposes of any outstanding Plan loans. |
||
Participants may make in-service withdrawals in accordance with the provisions outlined in the
Plan. |
-9-
Participant Loans: |
||
The loan program permits participants to borrow from their Plan accounts in accordance with the
provisions outlined in the Plan. Interest on participant loans is charged at rates based on
the Citibank prime rate (“Prime”), with terms from one to five years. The minimum loan amount
is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the lesser of $50,000 minus the participant’s highest
loan balance in the preceding twelve months or the combined value in the participant’s
tax-deferred contributions, after-tax contributions and rollover accounts. |
||
A participant’s loan account equals the original principal amount less principal repayments.
The principal amounts of loan repayments reduce the loan account and are added back to the
participant’s Plan accounts in the reverse order in which they were charged. The repaid amount
(including interest) is reinvested in the investment options according to the participant’s
investment directions in effect at the time of repayment. Interest rates on loans are based on
Prime and range from 4.00% to 8.25% at December 31, 2006. |
||
| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: |
|
Basis of Presentation: |
||
The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. |
||
Use of Estimates: |
||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires the Fiduciaries to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and related
disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
||
New Accounting Pronouncement: |
||
In December 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position
AAGINV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by
Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and
Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the “FSP”), which became effective
for the Plan on December 31, 2006. The FSP requires that investment contracts held by a
defined-contribution plan be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant
measurement criteria for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a
defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because
contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted
transactions under the terms of the plan. As required by the FSP, the statement of net assets
available for benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts within the net investment in Master Trust with a separate line
item to adjust from fair value to contract value. Prior year balances have been revised
accordingly. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is prepared on a
contract value basis. |
-10-
Risks and Uncertainties: |
||
The Plan provides for various investment options in investment securities. Investment
securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall
market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it
is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the
near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements. |
||
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, 33% and 31%, respectively, of the Master Trust net assets were
invested in Altria Common Stock and 2% of the Master Trust net assets were invested in Kraft
Common Stock. These assets could be subject to significant market fluctuations. |
||
Valuation of Investment in Master Trust: |
||
The Plan’s allocated share of the Master Trust’s net assets and investment activities is based
upon the total of each individual participant’s share of the Master Trust. |
||
Valuation of the Master Trust’s Investments: |
||
Investments in common collective trusts and registered investment companies are valued on the
basis of the relative interest of each participating investor (including each participant) in
the fair value of the underlying net assets of each of the respective common collective trusts
and registered investment companies. |
||
The fair value of traditional guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) is calculated by
discounting the contractual cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with
comparable durations. The fair value of each synthetic GIC contract is calculated based on the
fair value of the investments underlying the contract. The fair value of each synthetic GIC
wrapper is calculated by discounting the difference between the indicative replacement cost and
the current annual fee multiplied by the notional dollar amount of the contract based on the
published Bloomberg USD US Bank AA-rated credit curve, as of December 29, 2006. |
||
The contract value of GICs represents contributions made under the contract and reinvested
income, less any withdrawals plus accrued interest. Participants may ordinarily direct the
withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. There are
currently no reserves against contract values for credit risk of the contract issuers or
otherwise. |
-11-
Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the last business day
of the year; listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are recorded at the
last reported bid price. Securities that are not listed on an exchange are generally traded in
active markets and valued from quoted market prices. |
||
Short-term temporary investments are generally carried at cost, which approximates fair value. |
||
Investment Transactions and Investment Income of the Master Trust: |
||
An investment transaction is accounted for on the date the purchase or sale is executed.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date; interest income is recorded as earned on
an accrual basis. |
||
In accordance with the policy of stating investments at fair value, the net appreciation
(depreciation) in the fair value of investments reflects both
realized gains or losses and the change in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments held at year-end. Realized
gains or losses from security transactions are reported on the average cost method. |
||
Contributions: |
||
Participants’ contributions are recorded in the period in which they are withheld by Kraft.
Kraft Matching Contributions are recorded in the same period that participants’ contributions
are recorded. |
||
Distributions and Withdrawals: |
||
Distributions and withdrawals are recorded when paid. |
||
Expenses: |
||
Investment management fees and brokerage commissions are charged against the net asset value of
the specific investment option and reduce investment return. |
||
Administrative fees such as trustee fees, participant recordkeeping, communications, investment
advisory, audit and legal fees are paid by the Plan. |
-12-
| 3. | Master Trust Investments: |

| 4. | Guaranteed Investment Contracts Held by Master Trust: |
|
The Master Trust holds investments in guaranteed investment contracts as part of the Interest
Income Fund investment option. The Master Trust invests in both traditional and synthetic GICs. |
||
The traditional GICs provide a fixed return on principal over a specified period of time
through fully benefit responsive contracts issued by a third party which are backed by assets
owned by the third party. The contract value of the traditional GICs was $5,296,000 and
$15,687,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fair value of the traditional GICs
was $5,152,000 and $15,500,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. |
||
The synthetic GICs provide a fixed return on principal over a specified period of time through
fully benefit-responsive contracts or wrapper contracts issued by a third party which are
backed by underlying assets owned by the Master Trust. The portfolio of assets, overall of AAA
credit quality, underlying the synthetic GICs includes mortgages, fixed income securities, and
United States treasury notes and bonds. The contract value of the synthetic GICs was
$1,162,943,000 and $1,181,863,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fair value
of the synthetic GICs was $1,143,395,000 and $1,167,133,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. |
||
The crediting interest rates for the synthetic GICs are calculated on a quarterly basis (or
more frequently if necessary) using the contract value, and the value, yield and duration of
the underlying securities, but cannot be less than zero. The crediting interest rates for the
traditional GICs are either agreed to in advance with the issuer or vary based on the agreed
formulas, but cannot be less than zero. The crediting interest rate for the Interest Income
Fund at December 2006 and 2005 was 4.84% and 4.51%, respectively. |
||
The relationship of future crediting rates and the adjustment to contract value reported on the
statement of net assets available for benefits is provided through the mechanism of the
crediting rate formula. The difference between the contract value and the fair market value of
the investments of each contract is periodically amortized into each contract’s crediting rate.
The amortization factor is calculated by dividing the difference between the fair market value
of the investments and the contract value by the duration of the bond portfolio covered by the
investment contract. |
||
Key factors that could influence future average interest crediting rates include, but are not
limited to: Plan cash flows, changes in interest rates, total return performance of the fair
market value bond strategies underlying each synthetic GIC contract, default or credit failures
of any of the securities, investment contracts, or other investments held in the fund, the
initiation of an extended termination (immunization) of one or more synthetic GIC contracts by
the manager or the contract issuer. |
-14-
The average market value yield of the Interest Income Fund for 2006 and 2005 was 5.45% and
4.71%, respectively (calculated by taking the average of the quarterly market value weighted
yields of the investments). The average yield earned by the Interest Income Fund that reflects
the actual interest credited to participants for 2006 and 2005 was 4.72% and 4.49%,
respectively (calculated by dividing annualized earnings credited to participants by the market
value of the Interest Income Fund). |
||
There are certain events not initiated by Plan participants that limit the ability of the Plan
to transact with the issuer of a GIC at its contract value. Specific coverage provided by each
traditional GIC and synthetic GIC may be different from each issuer, and can be found in the
individual traditional GIC or synthetic GIC contracts held by the Plan. Examples of such events
include: the Plan’s failure to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended;
full or partial termination of the Plan; involuntary termination of employment as a result of a
corporate merger, divestiture, spin-off, or other significant business restructuring, which may
include early retirement incentive programs or bankruptcy; changes to the administration of the
Plan which decreases employee or employer contributions, the establishment of a competing Plan
by the plan sponsor, the introduction of a competing investment option, or other plan amendment
that has not been approved by the contract issuers; dissemination of a participant
communication that is designed to induce participants to transfer assets from the stable value
option; events resulting in a material and adverse financial impact on the contract issuer,
including changes in the tax code, laws or regulations. |
||
The Plan Fiduciaries do not believe that the occurrence of any of the aforementioned events,
which would limit the Plan’s ability to transact with the issuer of a GIC at its contract value
with participants, is probable. |
||
Contract issuers are not allowed to terminate any of the above traditional GICs and synthetic
GICs and settle at an amount different from contract value unless there is a breach of the
contract which is not corrected within the applicable cure period. Actions that will result in
a breach (after any relevant cure period) include, but are not limited to: material
misrepresentation; failure to pay synthetic GIC fees, or any other payment due under the
contract; failure to adhere to investment guidelines. |
||
| 5. | Transactions with Parties-in-Interest: |
|
The Fiduciaries are not aware of any transaction between the Plan and a party-in-interest (as
defined by ERISA) or disqualified person (as defined in the Code) to the Plan (1) which is
prohibited under the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or the prohibited
transaction provisions of the Code, or (2) which has not been exempted from such prohibitions
pursuant to a class exemption issued by the Department of Labor. The Plan invests in Altria
Common Stock and Kraft Common Stock that are exempt from the party-in-interest transaction
prohibitions of ERISA. Participant loans are also party-in-interest transactions that are
exempt. |
-15-
| 6. | Plan Termination: |
|
The Board of Directors of Kraft Foods Global, Inc. or the Committee has the right, subject to
the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, to amend (retroactively or otherwise) the
Plan, suspend making Kraft Matching Contributions to the Plan or terminate the Plan. However,
no such action may deprive any participant or beneficiary under the Plan of any vested right.
In the event the Plan is terminated or partially terminated (within the meaning of the Code),
each affected participant will become fully vested in the balance in his or her Kraft Matching
Contributions account. |
||
| 7. | Tax Status: |
|
By letter dated July 2, 2002, the Internal Revenue Service determined that the Plan, as
amended and in effect as of December 15, 2001, is a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the
Code and that the ESOP portion of the Plan is a stock bonus plan as described in Sections
401(a) and 4975(e) of the Code. The Plan has been amended since the receipt of the
determination letter; however, the Fiduciaries believe that the Plan continues to be designed
and operated in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code. Therefore, no provision
for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements. |
||
| 8. | Reconciliation of Plan’s Financial Statements to Form 5500: |
|
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, $154,000 and $365,000, respectively, were payable to
participants who had requested distributions or withdrawals which were processed and approved
for payment prior to year-end, but not paid until the following year. As required, these
amounts are recorded as liabilities on the Plan’s Form 5500, but are not reflected as
liabilities in the Plan’s financial statements. |
