PART I

Item 1. Business.

General

Kraft Foods Group is one of the largest consumer packaged food and beverage companies in North America and one of the largest worldwide among publicly traded consumer packaged food and beverage companies with net revenues of $18.3 billion and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $2.5 billion in 2012. We manufacture and market food and beverage products, including refrigerated meals, refreshment beverages and coffee, cheese, and other grocery products, primarily in the United States and Canada, under a host of iconic brands. Our product categories span breakfast, lunch, and dinner meal occasions, both at home and in foodservice locations. At December 29, 2012, we had assets of $23.3 billion. We are a member of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.

Our diverse brand portfolio consists of many of the most popular food brands in North America, including two brands with annual net revenues exceeding $1 billion each—Kraft cheeses, dinners, and dressings and Oscar Mayer meats—plus over 25 brands with annual net revenues of between $100 million and $1 billion each. In the United States, based on dollar share in 2012, we hold the number one branded market share position in 11 of our top 17 product categories and the number two branded share position in the remaining six product categories. The 11 product categories with the number one branded share position contributed more than 50% of our 2012 U.S. retail net revenues while our top 17 product categories contributed more than 80% of our 2012 U.S. retail net revenues.

We were initially organized as a Delaware corporation in 1980. In March 2012, we redomesticated to Virginia and changed our name from “Kraft Foods Global, Inc.” to “Kraft Foods Group, Inc.” We were a wholly owned subsidiary of Mondelēz International until October 1, 2012. On that date, Mondelēz International spun-off Kraft Foods Group, comprising its North American grocery business, to Mondelēz International’s shareholders (“Spin-Off”). In connection with the Spin-Off, Mondelēz International undertook a series of transactions to separate net assets and entities. As a result of these transactions, Mondelēz International now holds the global snacks business, and we, Kraft Foods Group, now hold the North American grocery business.

To effect the Spin-Off, Mondelēz International distributed all of the shares of Kraft Foods Group common stock owned by Mondelēz International to its shareholders on October 1, 2012 (“Distribution”). Holders of Mondelēz International common stock received one share of Kraft Foods Group common stock for every three shares of Mondelēz International common stock held on September 19, 2012. Mondelēz International structured the distribution to be tax free to its U.S. shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result of the Spin-Off, we now operate as an independent, publicly traded company.

In December 2012, we changed our fiscal year end from December 31 to the last Saturday in December. Therefore, our 2012 fiscal year ended on December 29, 2012.

Reportable Segments

We manage and report operating results through five reportable segments. Our reportable segments are Beverages, Cheese, Refrigerated Meals, Grocery, and International & Foodservice.

Products which contributed 10% or more to consolidated net revenues for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, or December 31, 2010, were:

See Note 16, Segment Reporting, to the consolidated financial statements for net revenues, earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, and total assets by segment.

Significant Divestitures

Pizza Divestiture: On March 1, 2010, we completed the sale of the assets of our North American frozen pizza business (“Frozen Pizza”) to Nestlé USA, Inc. (“Nestlé”) for $3.7 billion. The Frozen Pizza business was a component of our Refrigerated Meals and International & Foodservice segments. The sale included the DiGiorno, Tombstone, and Jack’s brands in the U.S., the Delissio brand in Canada and the California Pizza Kitchen trademark license. It also included two Wisconsin manufacturing facilities (Medford and Little Chute) and the leases for the pizza depots and delivery trucks. Approximately 3,600 of our employees transferred with the business to Nestlé. As a result of the divestiture, we recorded a gain on discontinued operations of $1,596 million, net of taxes, in 2010.

See Note 2, Divestitures, to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on these transactions.

Customers

We sell our products primarily to supermarket chains, wholesalers, supercenters, club stores, mass merchandisers, distributors, convenience stores, drug stores, value stores, and other retail food outlets in the United States and Canada.

Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 42% of our net revenues in 2012, while our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 55%. One of our customers, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for approximately 25% of our combined net revenues in 2012.

Sales

Our direct customer teams work with the headquarter operations of our customers and manage our customer relationships. These teams collaborate with customers on developing strategies for new item introduction, category and assortment management, shopper insights, shopper marketing, trade and promotional planning, and retail pricing solutions. We have a dedicated headquarter customer team covering all of our product lines for many of our largest customers, and we pool resources across our product lines to provide support to regional retailers. We also provide many of our retail partners with strategic advice regarding product categories.

Our breadth of product lines and scale throughout the retail environment are supported by two sales agencies within our customers’ stores. Acosta Sales & Marketing supports our grocery and mass channel customers, while CROSSMARK supports our convenience store retail partners. Both Acosta and CROSSMARK are extensions of our direct customer teams and are managed by our sales leadership. Both sales agencies provide in-store support of product placement, distribution and promotional execution.

We also utilize sales agencies, distributors, or other similar arrangements to sell our products in Puerto Rico and in markets outside of the United States and Canada.

Marketing and Advertising

We support our brands with marketing and advertising campaigns and consumer promotions. We work with third-party vendors, such as ACNielsen, to capture and analyze consumer buying patterns and product trends, and we use our deep consumer knowledge to develop marketing programs and merchandising activities.

Raw Materials and Packaging

We use large quantities of commodities, including dairy products, coffee beans, meat products, wheat, corn products, soybean and vegetable oils, nuts, and sugar and other sweeteners, to manufacture our products. In addition, we use significant quantities of resins and cardboard to package our products and energy to operate our factories and warehouses. For commodities that we use across many of our product categories, such as corrugated paper and energy, we coordinate sourcing requirements and centralize procurement to leverage our scale. In addition, some of our product lines and brands separately source raw materials that are specific to their operations.

We purchase from numerous sources, from large, international producers to smaller, local independent sellers. We have preferred purchaser status and/or have developed strategic partnerships with many of our suppliers, and consequently enjoy favorable pricing and dependable supply for many of our commodities. The prices of raw materials and agricultural materials that we use in our products are affected by external factors, such as global competition for resources, currency fluctuations, severe weather or global climate change, consumer or industrial demand, and changes in governmental regulation and trade, alternative energy, and agricultural programs.

The most significant cost component of our cheese products is dairy commodities, including milk and cheese. We purchase our dairy raw material requirements from independent third parties, such as agricultural cooperatives and independent processors. Market supply and demand, as well as government programs, substantially influence the prices for milk and other dairy products. The most significant cost component of our coffee products is coffee beans, which we purchase on world markets. Quality and availability of supply, changes in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to certain other currencies, and consumer demand for coffee products impact coffee bean prices. Significant cost components in our meat business include pork, beef, and poultry, which we purchase from domestic markets. Livestock feed costs and the global demand for U.S. meats influence the prices of these meat products. Other significant cost components in our grocery products are grains, including wheat, sugar, and soybean oil.

Our risk management group works with our procurement teams to continuously monitor worldwide supply and cost trends so we can obtain ingredients and packaging needed for production on favorable terms. Although the prices of our principal raw materials can be expected to fluctuate, we believe there will be an adequate supply of the raw materials we use and that they are generally available from numerous sources. Our risk management group uses a range of hedging techniques to limit the impact of price fluctuations in our principal raw materials. However, we do not fully hedge against changes in commodity prices, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in specific raw material costs. We monitor any exposure we have to increased commodity costs so that we can adjust our pricing to offset higher costs.

Manufacturing and Processing

We manufacture our products in our network of manufacturing and processing facilities located throughout North America. As of December 29, 2012, we operated 37 manufacturing and processing facilities in the United States and three in Canada. We own all 40 of these facilities.

While some of our plants are dedicated to the production of specific products or brands – our Madison, Wisconsin plant, for example, manufactures only Oscar Mayer products – other plants can accommodate multiple product lines. We manufacture our Beverages products in nine locations, our Cheese products in 13 locations, our Refrigerated Meals products in nine locations, and our Grocery products in 15 locations. We maintain all of our manufacturing and processing facilities in good condition and believe they are suitable and adequate for our present needs. From time to time, we enter into co-manufacturing arrangements with third parties if we determine it is advantageous to outsource the production of any of our products.

Distribution

We distribute our products through our network of 42 owned and leased distribution centers. As of December 29, 2012, we distributed via 39 distribution centers in the United States and three in Canada. We own four and lease 38 of these distribution centers. In addition, third-party logistics providers perform storage and distribution services for us to support our distribution network.

We rely on common carriers and our private fleet to transport our products from our manufacturing and processing facilities to our distribution facilities and on to our customers. Our distribution facilities generally accommodate all of our product lines from each of our segments and have the capacity to store refrigerated, dry, and frozen goods. We assemble customer orders for multiple products at the distribution facilities and deliver them by common carrier or our private fleet to our customers’ warehouses. We maintain all of our distribution facilities in good condition and believe they have sufficient capacity to meet our present distribution needs.

Competition

We face competition in all aspects of our business. Competitors include large national and international companies and numerous local and regional companies. We also compete with generic products and retailer brands, wholesalers, and cooperatives. We compete primarily on the basis of product quality and innovation, brand recognition and loyalty, service, the ability to identify and satisfy consumer preferences, and price. Improving our market position or introducing a new product requires substantial advertising and promotional expenditures.

Trademarks and Intellectual Property

Our trademarks are material to our business and are among our most valuable assets. Some of our significant trademarks include Baker’s, Cheez Whiz, Cool Whip, Cracker Barrel, Crystal Light, Jell-O, Kool-Aid, Kraft, Lunchables, MiO, Miracle Whip, Oscar Mayer, Planters, Shake ‘N Bake, Stove Top, and Velveeta. We own the rights to these trademarks in the United States, Canada, and many other countries throughout the world. In addition, we own the trademark rights to Philadelphia in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean, and to Gevalia and Maxwell House throughout North America and Latin America. We protect our trademarks by registration or otherwise in the United States, Canada, and other markets. Trademark protection continues in some countries for as long as the mark is used and in other countries for as long as it is registered. Registrations generally are for renewable, fixed terms. From time to time, wegrant third parties licenses to use one or more of our trademarks in particular locations. Similarly, as of December 29, 2012, we sell some products under brands we license from third parties, including:

In connection with the Spin-Off, we granted Mondelēz International licenses to use some of our trademarks in particular locations outside of the United States and Canada and we will sell some products under brands we license from Mondelēz International.

Additionally, we own numerous patents worldwide. We consider our portfolio of patents, patent applications, patent licenses under patents owned by third parties, proprietary trade secrets, technology, know-how processes, and related intellectual property rights to be material to our operations. While our patent portfolio is material to our business, the loss of one patent or a group of related patents would not have a material adverse effect on our business. We either have been issued patents or have patent applications pending that relate to a number of current and potential products, including products licensed to others. Patents, issued or applied for, cover inventions ranging from basic packaging techniques to processes relating to specific products and to the products themselves.

Our issued patents extend for varying periods according to the date of patent application filing or grant and the legal term of patents in the various countries where patent protection is obtained. The actual protection afforded by a patent, which can vary from country to country, depends upon the type of patent, the scope of its coverage as determined by the patent office or courts in the country, and the availability of legal remedies in the country. In connection with the Spin-Off, we granted Mondelēz International licenses to use some of our patents, and we also license certain patents from Mondelēz International.

Research and Development

Our four main objectives in research and development:

Our research and development specialists have historically focused on both major product innovation and more modestly-scaled line extensions, such as the introduction of new flavors, colors, or package designs for established products. We have approximately 650 food scientists, chemists, and engineers, with teams dedicated to particular brands and products.

We maintain three key technology centers, each equipped with pilot plants and state-of-the-art instruments. We expended approximately $178 million on research and development activities in 2012, $198 million in 2011 and $185 million in 2010.

Seasonality

Overall sales of our products are fairly balanced throughout the year, although demand for certain products may be influenced by holidays, changes in seasons, or other annual events.

Employees

We have approximately 23,000 employees, of whom approximately 20,900 are located in the United States and approximately 2,100 are located in Canada. Approximately one-third of our hourly employees are represented under contracts primarily with the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. These contracts expire at various times throughout the next several years. We believe that our relationships with employees and their representative organizations are generally good.

Regulation

Our U.S. food products and packaging materials are primarily regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or, for products containing meat and poultry, the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These agencies enact and enforce regulations relating to the manufacturing, distribution, and labeling of food products. We supported the Food Safety Modernization Act, a 2011 law that provided additional food safety authority to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We do not expect the cost of complying with that law, and the implementing regulations expected over the next two to three years, to be material.

Our Canadian food products and packaging materials are primarily regulated by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada. These governmental bodies enact and enforce regulations relating to the manufacturing, distribution, and labeling of food products. We have supported the Safe Food for Canadians Act, which became law in November of 2012 and which is similar to the U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act.

In addition, various U.S. states and Canadian provinces regulate our operations by licensing plants, enforcing standards for selected food products, grading food products, inspecting plants and warehouses, regulating trade practices related to the sale of dairy products, and imposing their own labeling requirements on food products. Many of the food commodities we use in our operations are subject to governmental agricultural programs. These programs have substantial effects on prices and supplies and are subject to periodic governmental and administrative review.

Environmental Regulation

We are subject to various federal, provincial, state, and local laws and regulations in the United States and Canada relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing discharges to air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous materials, and the cleanup of contaminated sites.

These laws and regulations include the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). CERCLA imposes joint and severable liability on each potentially responsible party. We are not a party to any proceedings arising under these laws and regulations that we currently expect to have a material effect on our earnings or financial condition. As of December 29, 2012, we were involved in 63 active proceedings in the United States under CERCLA (and other similar state actions and legislation) related to our current operations and certain closed, inactive, or divested operations for which we retain liability.

As of December 29, 2012, we had accrued an amount we deemed appropriate for environmental remediation. This amount was insignificant to our balance sheet. Based on information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of existing environmental remediation actions and our compliance in general with environmental laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our earnings or financial condition. However, it is difficult to predict with certainty the potential impact of future compliance efforts and environmental remedial actions and thus future costs associated with such matters may exceed current expectations.

Foreign Operations

We sell our products to consumers in the United States and Canada, and export our products to over 35 countries and territories. We generated approximately 14% of our 2012 consolidated net revenues and 13% of our 2011 and 2010 consolidated net revenues outside the United States, primarily in Canada. For additional information about our foreign operations, see Note 16, Segment Reporting, to the consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should read the following risk factors carefully in connection with evaluating our business and the forward-looking information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Some of the risks relate to our business and others to the Spin-Off. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. While we believe we have identified and discussed below the material risks affecting our business, there may be additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know or that we do not currently believe to be material that may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations in the future.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We operate in a highly competitive industry.

The food and beverage industry is highly competitive. We compete based on product innovation, price, product quality, brand recognition and loyalty, effectiveness of marketing, promotional activity, and the ability to identify and satisfy consumer preferences.

We may need to reduce our prices in response to competitive and customer pressures. Competition and customer pressures may also restrict our ability to increase prices in response to commodity and other cost increases. We may also need to increase or reallocate spending on marketing, retail trade incentives, advertising, and new product innovation to maintain market share. These expenditures are subject to risks, including uncertainties about trade and consumer acceptance of our efforts. If we reduce prices or face increased costs, but cannot increase sales volumes to offset those changes, then our financial condition and results of operations may suffer.

Maintaining our reputation and brand image is essential to our business success.

We have many iconic brands with long-standing consumer recognition. Our success depends on our ability to maintain brand image for our existing products, extend our brands to new platforms, and expand our brand image with new product offerings.

We seek to maintain, extend, and expand our brand image through marketing investments, including advertising and consumer promotions, and product innovation. Increasing media attention to the role of food marketing could adversely affect our brand image or lead to stricter regulations and greater scrutiny of food marketing practices. Increased legal or regulatory restrictions on our advertising, consumer promotions and marketing, or our response to those restrictions, could limit our efforts to maintain, extend and expand our brands. Moreover, adverse publicity about regulatory or legal action against us could damage our reputation and brand image, undermine our customers’ confidence and reduce long-term demand for our products, even if the regulatory or legal action is unfounded or not material to our operations.

In addition, our success in maintaining, extending, and expanding our brand image depends on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing media environment. We increasingly rely on social media and online dissemination of advertising campaigns. Negative posts or comments about us on social networking Web sites or similar online activity could seriously damage our reputation and brand image. We are subject to a variety of legal and regulatory restrictions on how we market our products. These restrictions may limit our ability to maintain, extend, and expand our brand image as the media and communications environment continues to evolve. If we do not maintain, extend, and expand our brand image, then our product sales, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We must leverage our value proposition to compete against retailer brands and other economy brands.

Retailers are increasingly offering retailer and other economy brands that compete with some of our products. Our products must provide higher value and/or quality to our consumers than alternatives, particularly during periods of economic uncertainty such as those we continue to experience. Consumers may not buy our products if relative differences in value and/or quality between our products and retailer or other economy brands change in favor of competitors’ products or if consumers perceive this type of change. If consumers prefer retailer or other economy brands, then we could lose market share or sales volumes or shift our product mix to lower margin offerings. These events could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The consolidation of retail customers could adversely affect us.

Retail customers, such as supermarkets, warehouse clubs, and food distributors in our major markets, may consolidate, resulting in fewer customers on which we can rely for business. Consolidation also produces larger retail customers that may seek to leverage their position to improve their profitability by demanding improved efficiency, lower pricing, increased promotional programs, or specifically tailored products. In addition, larger retailers have the scale to develop supply chains that permit them to operate with reduced inventories or to develop and market their own retailer brands. Retail consolidation and increasing retailer power could materially and adversely affect our product sales, financial condition, and results of operations.

Retail consolidation also increases the risk that adverse changes in our customers’ business operations or financial performance will have a corresponding material and adverse effect on us. For example, if our customers cannot access sufficient funds or financing, then they may delay, decrease, or cancel purchases of our products, or delay or fail to pay us for previous purchases.

Changes in our relationships with significant customers or suppliers, or in the trade terms required by these customers or suppliers, could reduce sales and profits.

During 2012, our five largest customers accounted for approximately 42% of our net revenues, with our largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounting for approximately 25% of our net revenues. There can be no assurance that all significant customers will continue to purchase our products in the same quantities or on the same terms as in the past, particularly as increasingly powerful retailers may demand lower pricing and focus on developing their own brands. The loss of a significant customer or a material reduction in sales to a significant customer could materially and adversely affect our product sales, financial condition, and results of operations.

Disputes with significant suppliers, including regarding pricing or performance, could adversely affect our ability to supply products to our customers and could materially and adversely affect our product sales, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our financial success depends on our ability to correctly predict, identify, and interpret changes in consumer preferences and demand, to offer new products to meet those changes, and to respond to competitive innovation.

Consumer preferences for food products change continually. Our success depends on our ability to predict, identify, and interpret the tastes and dietary habits of consumers and to offer products that appeal to consumer preferences. If we do not offer products that appeal to consumers, our sales and market share will decrease and our profitability could suffer.

We must distinguish between short-term fads, mid-term trends, and long-term changes in consumer preferences. If we do not accurately predict which shifts in consumer preferences will be long-term, or if we fail to introduce new and improved products to satisfy those preferences, our sales could decline. In addition, because of our varied consumer base, we must offer an array of products that satisfy the broad spectrum of consumer preferences. If we fail to expand our product offerings successfully across product categories, or if we do not rapidly develop products in faster growing and more profitable categories, demand for our products will decrease and our profitability could suffer.

Prolonged negative perceptions concerning the health implications of certain food products could influence consumer preferences and acceptance of some of our products and marketing programs. We strive to respond to consumer preferences and social expectations, but we may not be successful in our efforts. Continued negative perceptions and failure to satisfy consumer preferences could materially and adversely affect our product sales, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, achieving growth depends on our successful development, introduction, and marketing of innovative new products and line extensions. Successful innovation depends on our ability to correctly anticipate customer and consumer acceptance, to obtain and maintain necessary intellectual property protections, and to avoid infringing the intellectual property rights of others. We must also be able to respond successfully to technological advances by and intellectual property rights granted to competition, and failure to do so could compromise our competitive position and impact our financial results.

We may be unable to drive revenue growth in our key product categories, increase our market share, or add products that are in faster growing and more profitable categories.

The food and beverage industry’s overall growth is linked to population growth. Our future results will depend on our ability to drive revenue growth in our key product categories. Because our operations are concentrated in North America, where growth in the food and beverage industry has been moderate, our success also depends in part on our ability to enhance our portfolio by adding innovative new products in faster growing and more profitable categories. Our future results will also depend on our ability to increase market share in our existing product categories. Our failure to drive revenue growth in our key product categories or develop innovative products for new and existing categories could materially and adversely affect our profitability, financial condition, and results of operations.

Commodity, energy, and other input prices are volatile and may rise significantly, and increases in the costs of producing, transporting, and distributing our products could materially and adversely affect our financial condition.

We purchase large quantities of commodities, including dairy products, coffee beans, meat products, wheat, corn products, soybean and vegetable oils, nuts, and sugar and other sweeteners. In addition, we purchase and use significant quantities of resins and cardboard to package our products and natural gas to operate our factories and warehouses. We are also exposed to changes in oil prices, which influence both our packaging and transportation costs. Prices for commodities, other supplies, and energy are volatile and are subject to wide variations due to conditions that are difficult to predict, including global competition for resources, currency fluctuations, severe weather or global climate change, consumer, industrial or commodity investment demand, and changes in governmental regulation and trade, alternative energy, and agricultural programs. Rising commodity, energy, and other input costs could materially and adversely affect our cost of operations, including the manufacture, transportation, and distribution of our products, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Although we monitor our exposure to commodity prices as an integral part of our overall risk management program, and seek to hedge against input price increases to the extent we deem appropriate, we do not fully hedge against changes in commodity prices, and our hedging strategies may not protect us from increases in raw materials costs. For example, hedging our costs for one of our key commodities, dairy products, is difficult because dairy futures markets are not as developed as many other commodities futures markets. Continued volatility or sustained increases in the prices of commodities and other supplies we purchase could increase the costs of our products, and our profitability could suffer. Moreover, increases in the prices of our products to cover these increased costs may result in lower sales volumes. If we are not successful in our hedging activities, or if we are unable to price our products to cover increased costs, then commodity and other input price volatility or increases could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on our management team and other key personnel, and the loss of one or more key employees or any difficulty in attracting, training, and retaining other talented personnel could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We depend on the skills, working relationships and continued services of key personnel, including our experienced management team. In addition, our ability to achieve our operating goals depends on our ability to identify, hire, train, and retain qualified individuals. We compete with other companies both within and outside of our industry for talented personnel, and we may lose key personnel or fail to attract, train, and retain other talented personnel. Any such loss or failure could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of the Spin-Off, we no longer operate as part of a globally diversified food and beverage company andtherefore may be more vulnerable to adverse events and trends in North America.

As formerly part of a globally diversified food and beverage company, we were historically insulated against adverse events and trends in any particular region. After separating from Mondelēz International, however, we may be more susceptible to adverse regulations, economic climate, consumer trends, market fluctuations, including commodity price fluctuations or supply shortages for certain of our key ingredients, and other adverse events that are specific to the United States and Canada. For example, because a majority of our operations and product sales are in the United States, we expect that regulatory changes or changes in consumer food preferences in the United States will have a more significant impact on us than these changes would have had when we were part of Mondelēz International.

The concentration of our businesses in North America will present a challenge and may increase the likelihood that an adverse event in North America will materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in regulations could increase our costs and adversely affect our profitability.

Our activities are highly regulated and subject to government oversight. Various federal, state, provincial, and local laws and regulations govern food production and marketing, as well as licensing, trade, tax, and environmental matters. Governing bodies regularly issue new regulations and changes to existing regulations. Our need to comply with new or revised regulations or their interpretation and application, including proposed requirements designed to enhance food safety or to regulate imported ingredients, could materially and adversely affect our product sales, financial condition, and results of operations.

Concerns with the safety and quality of food products could cause consumers to avoid certain food products or ingredients.

We could be adversely affected if consumers lose confidence in the safety and quality of certain food products or ingredients, or the food safety system generally. Adverse publicity about these types of concerns, whether or not valid, may discourage consumers from buying our products or cause production and delivery disruptions.

Legal claims or other regulatory enforcement actions could subject us to civil and criminal penalties that affect our product sales, reputation, and profitability.

We are a large food and beverage company operating in a highly regulated environment and a constantly evolving legal and regulatory framework. Consequently, we are subject to heightened risk of legal claims or other regulatory enforcement actions. Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with existing laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that our employees, contractors, or agents will not violate our policies and procedures. Moreover, the failure to maintain effective control processes could lead to violations, unintentional or otherwise, of laws and regulations. Legal claims or regulatory enforcement actions arising out of our failure or alleged failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject us to civil and criminal penalties that could materially and adversely affect our product sales, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations.

Product recalls or other product liability claims could materially and adversely affect us.

Selling products for human consumption involves inherent legal and other risks, including product contamination, spoilage, product tampering, allergens, or other adulteration. We could decide to, or be required to, recall products due to suspected or confirmed product contamination, adulteration, misbranding, tampering, or other deficiencies. A widespread product recall or market withdrawal could result in significant losses due to their costs, the destruction of product inventory, and lost sales due to the unavailability of the product for a period of time. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect our reputation and product sales, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may also suffer losses if our products or operations violate applicable laws or regulations, or if our products cause injury, illness, or death. In addition, our marketing could face claims of false or deceptive advertising or other criticism. A significant product liability or other legal judgment or a related regulatory enforcement action against us, or a significant product recall, may materially and adversely affect our reputation and profitability. Moreover, even if a product liability or consumer fraud claim is unsuccessful, has no merit, or is not pursued, the negative publicity surrounding assertions against our products or processes could materially and adversely affect our product sales, financial condition, and results of operations.

Unanticipated disruptions of our supply chain or distribution capabilities could adversely affect our ability to provide our products to our customers as well as maintain our back-office systems.

We have a complex network of suppliers, owned manufacturing locations, co-manufacturing locations, distribution networks, and information systems that support our ability to consistently provide our products to our customers. Factors that are hard to predict or beyond our control, like weather, natural disasters, fire or explosion, terrorism, generalized labor unrest, or health pandemics, could damage or disrupt our operations or our suppliers’ or co-manufacturers’ operations. These disruptions may require additional resources to restore our supply chain. If we cannot respond to disruptions in our operations, whether by finding alternative suppliers or replacing capacity at key manufacturing or distribution locations, or are unable to quickly repair damage to our information, production, or supply systems, we may be late in delivering, or unable to deliver, products to our customers and may also be unable to track orders, inventory, receivables, and payables. If that occurs, our customers’ confidence in us and long-term demand for our products could decline. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect our product sales, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our acquisition and divestiture activities may present financial, managerial, and operational risks.

From time to time, we may identify acquisition candidates that we believe strategically fit our business objectives or we may seek to divest businesses that do not meet our strategic objectives or growth or profitability targets. Our acquisition or divestiture activities may present financial, managerial, and operational risks. Those risks include diversion of management attention from existing core businesses, difficulties integrating or separating personnel and financial and other systems, inability to effectively and immediately implement control environment processes across a diverse employee population, adverse effects on existing customer and supplier business relationships, inaccurate estimates of fair value made in the accounting for acquisitions and amortization of acquired intangible assets which would reduce future reported earnings, potential loss of acquired businesses’ customers or key employees, and indemnities and potential disputes with the buyers or sellers. In addition, while we are a North American business focused on traditional grocery categories, to the extent we undertake acquisitions or other developments outside our core geography or in new categories, we may face additional risks related to such acquisitions or developments. In particular, risks related to foreign operations include compliance with U.S. laws affecting operations outside of the United States, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, currency rate fluctuations, compliance with foreign regulations and laws, including tax laws, and exposure to politically and economically volatile developing markets. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Weak financial performance, downgrades in our credit ratings, illiquid capital markets, and volatile economic conditions could limit our access to the capital markets, reduce our liquidity, or increase our borrowing costs.

From time to time we may need to access the short-term and long-term capital markets to obtain financing. Our financial performance, our short-term and long-term credit ratings, the liquidity of the overall capital markets, and the state of the economy, including the food and beverage industry, will affect our access to, and the availability of, financing on acceptable terms and conditions in the future. There can be no assurance that we will have access to the capital markets on terms we find acceptable.

In particular, we access the commercial paper market for regular funding requirements. A downgrade in our credit ratings would increase our borrowing costs and could affect our ability to issue commercial paper. Disruptions in the commercial paper market or other effects of volatile economic conditions on the credit markets also could reduce the amount of commercial paper that we could issue and could raise our borrowing costs for both short-term and long-term debt offerings. In response to the conditions, we may reduce or eliminate dividends on our common stock in order to conserve cash. Further, our inability to access the capital markets or an increase in our borrowing costs could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Adverse changes in the equity markets or interest rates, changes in actuarial assumptions, and legislative or other regulatory actions could substantially increase our postemployment obligations and materially and adversely affect our profitability and results of operations.

We sponsor a number of benefit plans for employees in the United States and Canada, including defined benefit pension plans, retiree health and welfare, active health care, severance, and other postemployment benefits. At the end of 2012, the projected benefit obligation of our defined benefit pension plans was $8.5 billion and these plans had assets of $6.6 billion. The difference between plan obligations and assets, or the funded status of the plans, significantly affects the net periodic benefit costs of our pension plans and the ongoing funding requirements of those plans. Among other factors, changes in interest rates, mortality rates, early retirement rates, investment returns, minimum funding requirements, and

the market value of plan assets can affect the level of plan funding, cause volatility in the net periodic pension cost, and consequently volatility in our reported net income, and increase our future funding requirements. Legislative and other governmental regulatory actions may also increase funding requirements for our pension plans’ benefits obligation.

We estimate the 2013 pension contributions will be approximately $625 million, which is approximately $583 million more than we contributed in 2012. Of the total 2013 pension contributions, approximately $540 million is expected to be voluntary. Volatile economic conditions increase the risk that we will be required to make additional cash contributions to the pension plans and recognize further increases in our net pension cost. A significant increase in our U.S. pension funding requirements could require us to reduce spending on marketing, retail trade incentives, advertising, and other similar activities or could negatively affect our ability to invest in our business or pay dividends on our common stock.

Volatility in the market value of all or a portion of the derivatives we use to manage exposures to fluctuations in commodity prices will cause volatility in our gross profits and net earnings.

We use commodity futures and options to partially hedge the price of certain input costs, including dairy products, coffee beans, meat products, wheat, corn products, soybean oils, sugar, and natural gas. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in the values of these derivatives are currently recorded in earnings, resulting in volatility in both gross profits and net earnings. We report these gains and losses in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of earnings to the extent we utilize the underlying input in our manufacturing process. We report these gains and losses in the unallocated corporate items line in our segment operating results until we utilize the underlying input in our manufacturing process, at which time we reclassify the gains and losses to segment operating profit. We may experience volatile earnings as a result of these accounting treatments.

We are increasingly dependent on information technology, and if we are unable to protect against service interruptions, data corruption, cyber-based attacks, or network security breaches, our operations could be disrupted and our business could be negatively impacted.

We rely on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit, and store electronic and financial information, to manage a variety of business processes and activities, and to comply with regulatory, legal, and tax requirements. We also depend on our information technology infrastructure for digital marketing activities and for electronic communications among our locations, personnel, customers, and suppliers. These information technology systems, some of which are managed by third parties, may be susceptible to damage, disruptions, or shutdowns due to failures during the process of upgrading or replacing software, databases or components thereof, power outages, hardware failures, computer viruses, attacks by computer hackers, telecommunication failures, user errors, or catastrophic events. If our information technology systems suffer severe damage, disruption, or shutdown and our business continuity plans do not effectively resolve the issues in a timely manner, we could experience business disruptions, transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, and the loss of sales, causing our product sales, financial condition, and results of operations to be adversely affected and the reporting of our financial results to be delayed.

In addition, if we are unable to prevent security breaches, we may suffer financial and reputational damage or penalties because of the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information belonging to us or to our partners, customers, consumers, or suppliers. In addition, the disclosure of non-public sensitive information through external media channels could lead to the loss of intellectual property or damage our reputation and brand image.

Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our products and brands.

We consider our intellectual property rights, particularly and most notably our trademarks, but also our patents, trade secrets, copyrights, and licensing agreements, to be a significant and valuable aspect of our business. We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws, as well as licensing agreements, third-party nondisclosure and assignment agreements, and policing of third-party misuses of our intellectual property. Our failure to obtain or adequately protect our trademarks, products, new features of our products, or our technology, or any change in law or other changes that serve to lessen or remove the current legal protections of our intellectual property, may diminish our competitiveness and could materially harm our business.

We may be unaware of intellectual property rights of others that may cover some of our technology, brands, or products. Any litigation regarding patents or other intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and could divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. Third-party claims of intellectual property infringement might also require us to enter into costly license agreements. We also may be subject to significant damages or injunctions against development and sale of certain products.

Risks Relating to our Recent Spin-Off

If the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, were to fail to qualify for non-recognition treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then we, Mondelēz International and our shareholders could be subject to significant tax liability.

Mondelēz International, our former parent, received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and an opinion of tax counsel, each substantially to the effect that, subject to the accuracy of and compliance with certain representations, assumptions and covenants, (i) the Distribution will qualify for non-recognition of gain or loss to Mondelēz International and Mondelēz International’s shareholders pursuant to Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), except to the extent of cash received in lieu of fractional shares, and (ii) certain internal transactions undertaken in connection with the Distribution (“Internal Spin-Off Transactions”), qualify for non-recognition of gain or loss to us and Mondelēz International pursuant to Sections 355 and 368 of the Code (except, in the case of the private letter ruling, to the extent the IRS generally will not rule on certain transfers of intellectual property, which are covered solely by the opinion).

Notwithstanding the receipt of the private letter ruling and the opinion of tax counsel, the IRS could determine that the Distribution and Internal Spin-Off Transactions should be treated as taxable transactions if it determines that any of the representations, assumptions or covenants on which the private letter ruling is based are untrue or have been violated. Furthermore, as part of the IRS’s policy, the IRS did not determine whether the Distribution and Internal Spin-Off Transactions satisfy certain conditions that are necessary to qualify for non-recognition treatment. Rather, the private letter ruling is based on representations by us and Mondelēz International that these conditions have been satisfied. The opinion of tax counsel addressed the satisfaction of these conditions. Similarly, the IRS generally will not rule on contributions of intellectual property that do not satisfy certain criteria. As a result, the private letter ruling does not address whether transfers of certain intellectual property included in the Internal Spin-Off Transactions qualify for non-recognition treatment. Rather, the opinion of tax counsel addressed the qualification.

The opinion of tax counsel is not binding on the IRS nor the courts, and there is no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. In addition, the opinion of tax counsel relied on certain representations and covenants delivered by us and Mondelēz International.

If the IRS ultimately determines that the Distribution and/or the Internal Spin-Off Transactions are taxable, we and Mondelēz International could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities. Generally, taxes resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off to qualify for non-recognition treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes would be imposed on Mondelēz International or Mondelēz International’s shareholders and, under the Tax Sharing and Indemnity Agreement we entered into in connection with the Spin-Off, Mondelēz International is generally obligated to indemnify us against such taxes. However, under the Tax Sharing and Indemnity Agreement, we could be required, under certain circumstances, to indemnify Mondelēz International and its affiliates against all tax-related liabilities caused by those failures, to the extent those liabilities result from an action we or our affiliates take or from any breach of our or our affiliates’ representations, covenants or obligations under the Tax Sharing and Indemnity Agreement, or any other agreement we entered into in connection with the Spin-Off.

If the Canadian aspects of the Internal Spin-Off Transactions were to fail to qualify for tax-deferred treatment for Canadian federal and provincial income tax purposes, then our and/or Mondelēz International’s Canadian subsidiaries could be subject to significant tax liability.

The Internal Spin-Off Transactions included steps to separate the assets and liabilities in Canada held in connection with Mondelēz International’s global snacks business from the assets and liabilities in Canada held in connection with our North American grocery business.

Our Canadian subsidiary received an advance income tax ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) to the effect that, subject to the accuracy of and compliance with certain representations, assumptions, and covenants and based on the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act, such separation is treated for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act as resulting in a “butterfly” reorganization with no material Canadian federal income tax payable by our Canadian subsidiary, Mondelēz International’s Canadian subsidiary or their respective shareholders.

Notwithstanding the receipt of the advance income tax ruling, the CRA could determine that the separation should be treated as a taxable transaction if it determines that any of the representations, assumptions, or covenants on which the advance income tax ruling is based are untrue or have been violated. If the CRA ultimately were to determine that the separation is taxable, our and/or Mondelēz International’s Canadian subsidiaries could incur significant Canadian federal and provincial income tax liabilities, and we are generally obligated to indemnify Mondelēz International and its affiliates against such Canadian federal and provincial income taxes under the Tax Sharing and Indemnity Agreement.

We have agreed to numerous restrictions to preserve the non-recognition treatment of the transactions, which may reduce our strategic and operating flexibility.

Even if the Distribution otherwise qualifies for non-recognition of gain or loss under Section 355 of the Code, it may be taxable to Mondelēz International, but not Mondelēz International’s shareholders, under Section 355(e) of the Code if 50% or more (by vote or value) of our common stock or Mondelēz International’s common stock is acquired as part of a plan or series of related transactions that include the Distribution. For this purpose, any acquisitions of our or Mondelēz International’s common stock within two years before or after the Distribution are presumed to be part of such a plan, although we or Mondelēz International may be able to rebut that presumption based on either applicable facts and circumstances or a “safe harbor” described in the tax regulations. As a consequence, we agreed in the Tax Sharing and Indemnity Agreement to covenants and indemnity obligations that address compliance with Section 355(e) of the Code. These covenants and indemnity obligations may limit our ability to pursue strategic transactions or engage in new business or other transactions that may maximize the value of our business, and might discourage or delay a strategic transaction that you may consider favorable.

Similarly, even if the Canadian aspects of the Internal Spin-Off Transactions otherwise qualify for tax-deferred treatment in Canada under the butterfly reorganization provisions of the Canadian Tax Act, this tax-deferred treatment may be lost upon the occurrence of certain events after the Spin-Off. These would include an acquisition of control of our Canadian subsidiary (which may occur upon an acquisition of control of us) that occurs as part of (or in some cases in contemplation of) a series of transactions or events that includes the butterfly reorganization. These post-butterfly transaction restrictions may limit our ability to pursue strategic transactions or engage in new business or other transactions that may maximize the value of our business, and might discourage or delay a strategic transaction that you may consider favorable.

We may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from the Spin-Off.

We believe that, as an independent, publicly traded company, we will be able to, among other matters, better focus our financial and operational resources on our specific business, growth profile, and strategic priorities, design and implement corporate strategies and policies targeted to our operational focus and strategic priorities, streamline our processes and infrastructure to focus on our core “center of the store” strengths, implement and maintain a capital structure designed to meet our specific needs, and more effectively respond to industry dynamics. However, we may be unable to achieve some or all of these benefits. For example, in order to position ourselves for the Spin-Off, we undertook a series of strategic, structural, and process realignment and restructuring actions within our operations, including significant cost-cutting initiatives, including the Restructuring Program (as defined below). These actions may not provide the cost benefits we currently expect, and could lead to disruption of our operations, loss of, or inability to recruit, key personnel needed to operate and grow our businesses, weakening of our internal standards, controls, or procedures, and impairment of our key customer and supplier relationships. If we fail to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve as an independent company, or do not achieve them in the time we expect, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We have limited operating history as an independent, publicly traded company, and our historical financial information is not necessarily representative of the results we would have achieved as an independent, publicly traded company and may not be a reliable indicator of our future results.

Our historical financial statements do not necessarily reflect the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows we would have achieved as an independent, publicly traded company during the periods presented, or those that we will achieve in the future. This is primarily because of the following factors:

17

• Prior to the Spin-Off, we operated as part of Mondelēz International’s broader corporate organization, rather than as an independent company. Mondelēz International performed various corporate functions for us, including information technology, research and development, finance, legal, insurance, compliance, and human resources activities. Our historical financial information reflects allocations of corporate expenses from Mondelēz International for these and similar functions. These allocations may not reflect the costs we will incur for similar services in the future as an independent company.

Following the Spin-Off, we are also responsible for the additional costs associated with being an independent, publicly traded company, including costs related to corporate governance, investor and public relations, and public reporting. Therefore, our historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance as an independent company.

Mondelēz International has a significant understanding of our business and may be uniquely positioned to compete against us following the Spin-Off.

Prior to the Spin-Off, we operated as part of Mondelēz International, and many of its officers, directors, and employees have participated in the development and execution of our corporate strategy and the management of our day-to-day operations. Mondelēz International has significant knowledge of our products, operations, strengths, weaknesses, and strategies. It is also one of the largest food and beverage companies in the world, with a strong presence in North America, and thus may be uniquely positioned to develop grocery products that compete against our products in North America. Though, following the Spin-Off, Mondelēz International generally does not have rights to use trademarks related to the North American grocery business in North America and is restricted from using certain shared patents and trade secrets in North America for a period of time and under certain circumstances, it is not restricted from developing products in the same product categories as our products and marketing these products under trademarks related to their global snacks business or under new trademarks. Because of Mondelēz International’s competitive insight into our operations, competition from Mondelēz International may adversely affect our product sales, financial condition, and results of operations.

We incurred substantial indebtedness in connection with the Spin-Off, and the degree to which we are leveraged may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We incurred substantial indebtedness in connection with the Spin-Off. As of December 29, 2012, we had total debt of approximately $10 billion. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the debt retained or incurred pursuant to the Spin-Off as well as any future debt that we may incur, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future from operations, financings, or asset sales. Our ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors that are beyond our control. We may not generate sufficient funds to service our debt and meet our business needs, such as funding working capital or the expansion of our operations. If we are not able to repay or refinance our debt as it becomes due, we may be forced to take disadvantageous actions, including reducing spending on marketing, retail trade incentives, advertising and new product innovation, reducing financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes, selling assets, or dedicating an unsustainable level of our cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness. The lenders who hold our debt could also accelerate amounts due in the event that we default, which could potentially trigger a default or acceleration of the maturity of our other debt.

Our substantial indebtedness could also impair our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, or general corporate purposes, especially if the ratings assigned to our debt securities by rating organizations were revised downward. In addition, our substantial leverage could put us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that are less leveraged. These competitors could have greater financial flexibility to pursue strategic acquisitions and secure additional financing for their operations. Our ability to withstand competitive pressures and to react to changes in the food and beverage industry could be impaired, making us more vulnerable in the event of a general downturn in economic conditions, in our industry, or in our business.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

18

• We entered into transactions with Mondelēz International that did not exist prior to the Spin-Off, including

certain transition service agreements.

• Our historical financial information does not reflect changes that we expect to experience in the future as a result of our separation from Mondelēz International, including changes in our cost structure, personnel needs, tax structure, financing, and business operations. As part of Mondelēz International, we enjoyed certain benefits from Mondelēz International’s operating diversity, size, purchasing power, and available capital for investments, and we no longer receive these benefits. As an independent entity, we may be unable to purchase goods, services and technologies, such as insurance and health care benefits and computer software licenses, on terms as favorable to us as those we obtained as part of Mondelēz International prior to the Spin-Off.

Item 2. Properties.

Our corporate headquarters are located in Northfield, Illinois. Our headquarters are leased and house our executive offices, certain U.S. business units, and our administrative, finance, and human resource functions. We maintain additional owned and leased offices and three technology centers in the United States and Canada.

We have 37 manufacturing and processing facilities in the United States and three in Canada. We own all 40 of these facilities. It is our practice to maintain all of our plants and properties in good condition, and we believe they are suitable and adequate for our present needs.

We also have 39 distribution centers in the United States and three in Canada. We own four and lease 38 of these distribution centers. These facilities are in good condition, and we believe they have sufficient capacity to meet our distribution needs in the near term.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

We are routinely involved in legal proceedings, claims, and governmental inspections or investigations (“Legal Matters”) arising in the ordinary course of our business.

On March 1, 2011, the Starbucks Coffee Company (“Starbucks”) took control of the Starbucks packaged coffee business (“Starbucks CPG business”) in grocery stores and other channels. Starbucks did so without our authorization and in what we contend is a violation and breach of our license and supply agreement with Starbucks related to the Starbucks CPG business. The dispute is in arbitration in Chicago, Illinois. While we remain the named party in the proceeding, under the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Mondelēz International and us, we will direct any recovery we are awarded in the arbitration proceeding to Mondelēz International. Mondelēz International will reimburse us for any costs and expenses we incur in connection with the arbitration.

While we cannot predict with certainty the results of our dispute with Starbucks or any other Legal Matters in which we are currently involved or may in the future be involved, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve any of the Legal Matters that are currently pending will have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

We manufacture and market refrigerated meals, refreshment beverages and coffee, cheese, and other grocery products, primarily in the United States and Canada. Our product categories span all major meal occasions, both at home and in foodservice locations.

Spin-Off Transaction

Prior to October 1, 2012, we were a wholly owned subsidiary of Mondelēz International. In connection with the Spin-Off, Mondelēz International undertook a series of transactions to separate net assets and entities. As a result of these transactions, Mondelēz International now holds the global snacks business, and we, Kraft Foods Group, now hold the North American grocery business.

To effect the Spin-Off, Mondelēz International distributed 592 million shares of Kraft Foods Group common stock to Mondelēz International’s shareholders on October 1, 2012. Holders of Mondelēz International common stock received one share of Kraft Foods Group common stock for every three shares of Mondelēz International common stock held on September 19, 2012. Mondelēz International structured the Distribution to be tax free to its U.S. shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result of the Spin-Off, we now operate as an independent, publicly traded company.

Discussion and Analysis

Items Affecting Comparability of Financial Results

Principles of Consolidation

Prior to the Spin-Off on October 1, 2012, our financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Mondelēz International. Our financial statements included certain expenses of Mondelēz International which were allocated to us for certain functions. These allocations were not necessarily indicative of the actual expenses we would have incurred as an independent public company or of the costs we will incur in the future, and may differ substantially from the allocations we agreed to in the various separation agreements.

In December 2012, we changed our fiscal year end from December 31 to the last Saturday in December. Our 2012 fiscal year ended on December 29, 2012. For 2011 and 2010, our fiscal years ended on December 31 of that year.

See Critical Accounting Policies – Principles of Consolidation later in this section for further information about our allocations of expenses and change in fiscal year.

Debt On May 18, 2012, we entered into a $3.0 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility in connection with the Spin-Off. The agreement expires on May 17, 2017. On June 4, 2012, we issued $6.0 billion of senior unsecured notes with a weighted average interest rate of 3.938% and transferred the net proceeds of $5.9 billion to Mondelēz International. In addition, Mondelēz International completed a debt exchange in which $3.6 billion of Mondelēz International debt was exchanged for our debt as part of our Spin-Off-related capitalization plan on July 18, 2012. No cash was generated from the exchange. On October 1, 2012, Mondelēz International also transferred approximately $0.4 billion of Mondelēz International 7.550% senior unsecured notes to us to complete the key elements of the debt migration plan in connection with the Spin-Off. At December 31, 2011, our total debt of $35 million consisted of capital leases.

Postemployment Benefit Plans On October 1, 2012, Mondelēz International transferred to us certain postemployment benefit plan assets and liabilities associated with our active and retired and other former employees. Additionally, we assumed certain net benefit plan liabilities for most of the Mondelēz International retired and other former North American employees as of October 1, 2012. We assumed net benefit plan liabilities of $5.5 billion from Mondelēz International, which was in addition to the $0.1 billion of net benefit plan liabilities we had previously reported in our historical financial statements, for a total liability of $5.6 billion on October 1, 2012.

For more information, see Critical Accounting Policies – Postemployment Benefit Plans later in this section.

Restructuring Program On October 29, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a $650 million restructuring program consisting of restructuring costs, implementation costs, and Spin-Off transition costs (“Restructuring Program”). The Restructuring Program is part of, and its costs are consistent with, a restructuring program previously announced by Mondelēz International prior to the Spin-Off. The primary objective of the Restructuring Program activities is to ensure that we are set up to operate efficiently and execute our business strategy as a stand-alone company. Approximately one-half of the total Restructuring Program costs are expected to result in cash expenditures. We have incurred $303 million of Restructuring Program costs, of which $170 million was incurred prior to the Spin-Off. Of the total Restructuring Program costs incurred to date, $153 million were cash expenditures in 2012, of which $32 million was incurred prior to the Spin-Off. We expect to incur up to $300 million of Restructuring Program costs in 2013. In addition to approving the Restructuring Program, our Board approved related capital expenditures of approximately $200 million. We expect to complete the program by the end of 2014. See Note 6, Restructuring Program, for additional information.

Starbucks CPG Business On March 1, 2011, Starbucks took control of the Starbucks CPG business in grocery stores and other channels. Starbucks did so without our authorization and in what we contend is a violation and breach of our license and supply agreement with Starbucks related to the Starbucks CPG business. The dispute is in arbitration in Chicago, Illinois. While we remain the named party in the proceeding, under the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Mondelēz International and us, we will direct any recovery we are awarded in the arbitration proceeding to Mondelēz International. Mondelēz International will reimburse us for any costs and expenses we incur in connection with the arbitration.

Divestitures

Pizza Divestiture: On March 1, 2010, we completed the sale of the assets of our North American frozen pizza business (“Frozen Pizza”) to Nestlé USA, Inc. (“Nestlé”) for $3.7 billion. Our Frozen Pizza business was a component of our Refrigerated Meals and International & Foodservice segments. The sale included the DiGiorno, Tombstone, and Jack’s brands in the U.S., the Delissio brand in Canada and the California Pizza Kitchen trademark license. It also included two Wisconsin manufacturing facilities (Medford and Little Chute) and the leases for the pizza depots and delivery trucks. Approximately 3,600 of our employees transferred with the business to Nestlé. Accordingly, the results of our Frozen Pizza business have been reflected as discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of earnings for 2010. As a result of the divestiture, we recorded a gain on discontinued operations of $1,596 million, net of taxes, in 2010.

Pursuant to our transition services agreement with Nestlé, we agreed to provide certain sales, co-manufacturing, distribution, information technology, accounting, and finance services to Nestlé for up to two years. As of December 31, 2011, these service agreements were substantially complete.

Provision for Income Taxes Our effective tax rate was 33.1% in 2012, 38.3% in 2011, and 37.0% in 2010. Our 2012 effective tax rate included net tax benefits of $33 million from discrete one-time events, primarily from various U.S. federal, foreign, and state tax audit developments during the year.

Our 2011 effective tax rate included net tax costs of $52 million, primarily from various U.S. federal and U.S. state tax audit developments during the year as well as the revaluation of state deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from state tax legislation enacted in 2011.

Our 2010 effective tax rate included net tax costs of $32 million, primarily due to a $79 million write-off of deferred tax assets as a result of the U.S. health care legislation enacted in March 2010, partially offset by the federal and state impacts from the favorable resolution of a federal tax audit.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following discussion compares our consolidated results of operations for 2012 with 2011 and for 2011 with 2010.

Summary of Results and Other Significant Highlights

23

• Net revenues decreased 1.7% to $18.3 billion in 2012 and increased 4.8% to $18.7 billion in 2011.

• Organic Net Revenues, a non-GAAP financial measure we use to evaluate our underlying results (see our reconciliation with net revenues and a discussion of our Non-GAAP Financial Measures later in this section), remained essentially flat in 2012 at $18.2 billion. Organic Net Revenues increased 5.7% to $18.1 billion in 2011 compared to 2010.

• Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) decreased 8.3% to $2.75 in 2012 as compared to $3.00 from the prior year. Diluted EPS and the average number of common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2011 were retrospectively restated for the number of Kraft Foods Group shares outstanding immediately following the Spin-Off.

• Our total debt increased approximately $9.9 billion in 2012 compared to 2011 due to a $6.0 billion debt

issuance, $3.6 billion debt exchange with Mondelēz International debt and the transfer of $0.4 billion of debt from Mondelēz International to us in connection with the Spin-Off, partially offset by capital lease payments.

2012 compared with 2011

Net Revenues – Net revenues decreased $316 million (1.7%) to $18,339 million in 2012, and Organic Net Revenuesincreased $9 million (0.1%) to $18,247 million as follows:

Organic Net Revenues increased slightly as the impact of higher net pricing was generally offset by unfavorable volume/mix. Higher net pricing, including the impact of pricing from prior periods, was realized across all reportable business segments as we increased pricing to offset higher commodity costs. Unfavorable volume/mix reflected lower shipments (including a detriment of approximately 0.9 pp due to product pruning and 0.7 pp due to customer trade inventory reductions). Sales to Mondelēz International increased net revenues by $14 million while unfavorable foreign currency lowered net revenues by $22 million, due to the strength of the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar. In 2011, net revenues included a 53 week of shipments that added $226 million to net revenues and $91 million related to the impact of divestitures (including for reporting purposes the Starbucks CPG business).

Operating Income - Operating income decreased $158 million (5.6%) to $2,670 million in 2012, due to the following:

24

• Our pension, postretirement and other postemployment (collectively “postemployment”) net benefit obligations increased $5.6 billion as of December 29, 2012 compared to the prior year due primarily to the transfer of $5.5 billion of net postemployment benefit obligations from Mondelēz International on October 1, 2012 in connection with the Spin-Off.

Higher net pricing outpaced increased product costs during 2012. The increase in product costs was due to higher commodity costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs (driven by net productivity). Unfavorable volume/mix was reported in all segments, reflecting product pruning, customer trade inventory reductions, and the impact of higher pricing. Despite an increase in advertising expense, total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $51 million in 2012 from 2011 excluding Restructuring Program costs and the impacts of foreign currency, divestitures, and the 53 week of shipments in 2011. Unfavorable foreign currency decreased operating income by $5 million, due to the strength of the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar. The 53 week of shipments in 2011 had an unfavorable year-over-year impact of $62 million. We recorded Restructuring Program costs of $303 million in 2012, consisting of restructuring charges of $141 million, implementation costs of $131 million, and Spin-Off transition costs of $31 million. The change in market-based impacts to postemployment benefit plans decreased operating income by $153 million, as we recorded a mark-to-market expense of $223 million in 2012 (which consists of a $594 million impact from changes in actuarial assumptions, partially offset by $371 million of gains on pension assets), versus a mark-to-market expense of $70 million in 2011. The change in unrealized gains/losses on hedging activities increased operating income by $77 million, as we recognized gains of $13 million in 2012, versus losses of $64 million in 2011. The impact of divestitures (primarily the Starbucks CPG business cessation) decreased operating income by $20 million.

Net Earnings and Diluted EPS – Net earnings of $1,642 million decreased by $133 million (7.5%) in 2012. Diluted EPS were $2.75 in 2012, down 8.3% from $3.00 in 2011, due to the following:

The increase in interest and other expense, net was due to the $6.0 billion debt issuance in June 2012, the $3.6 billion debt exchange in July 2012, and the $0.4 billion transfer of debt from Mondelēz International in October 2012.

Diluted EPS for the year ended December 29, 2012 decreased $0.03 per share due to the dilutive impact of stock-based awards outstanding. Diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2011 did not include the impact of these awards as they were not outstanding prior to the Spin-Off.

The market-based impacts to postemployment benefit plans reflect our new strategy to follow a mark-to-market accounting policy for our postemployment benefit obligations. For a description of this accounting policy change, see Critical Accounting Policies – Postemployment Benefit Plans later in this section.

Net Revenues – Net revenues increased $858 million (4.8%) to $18,655 million in 2011, and Organic Net Revenuesincreased $976 million (5.7%) to $18,147 million as follows:

Organic Net Revenue grew across all segments, driven by higher net pricing, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix. Higher net pricing was reflected in all segments as we increased pricing to offset higher commodity costs. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by lower shipments in the Grocery, Cheese, Refrigerated Meals, and International & Foodservice segments, partially offset by higher shipments in the Beverages segment and favorable mix in the International & Foodservice segment. Divestitures (primarily the Starbucks CPG business and the Frozen Pizza business) had an unfavorable impact of $456 million on net revenues. The 53 week of shipments in 2011 increased net revenues by $226 million. Favorable foreign currency increased net revenues by $91 million, due to the strength of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, and net revenues rose $21 million from higher sales to Mondelēz International.

Operating Income – Operating income decreased $137 million (4.6%) to $2,828 million in 2011, due to the following:

Higher pricing outpaced increased product costs during 2011. The increase in product costs was driven by significantly higher commodity costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs as a result of net productivity savings. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by the Grocery, Cheese, and Refrigerated Meals segments. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $68 million from 2010 excluding the impacts of foreign currency, divestitures, and the 53 week of shipments in 2011. Favorable foreign currency increased operating income by $16 million driven by the strength of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar. The 53 week of shipments in 2011 added $62 million in operating income. The change in market-based impacts to postemployment benefit plans decreased operating income by $67 million, as we recorded a mark-to-market expense of $70 million in 2011, versus a mark-to-market expense of $3 million in 2010. The change in unrealized gains/losses on hedging activities decreased operating income by $92 million, as we recognized losses of $64 million in 2011, versus gains of $28 million in 2010. The impact of divestitures (including primarily the Starbucks CPG business cessation and income from a transition services agreement related to the Frozen Pizza business) decreased operating income $162 million.

As discussed in Note 16, Segment Reporting, to the consolidated financial statements, management uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales), certain components of our postemployment benefit plans (which are a component of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses), and general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) for all periods presented. We exclude the unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Once realized, we record the gains and losses on hedging activities within segment operating results. We exclude certain components of our postemployment benefit plans from segment operating income because we centrally manage postemployment benefit plan funding decisions and the determination of discount rate, expected rate of return on plan assets, and other actuarial assumptions. We also manage market-based impacts to these benefit plans centrally. Therefore, we allocate only the service cost component of our pension plan expense to segment operating income. Furthermore, we centrally manage interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, we do not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.

Comparing 2012 to 2011, net changes in unrealized gains / (losses) on hedging activities were favorable, as we had gains on commodity hedging activity of $13 million in 2012, compared to losses on commodity hedging activity of $64 million in 2011.

In connection with our Restructuring Program, we recorded restructuring charges of $141 million, implementation costs of $131 million, and Spin-Off transition costs of $31 million in 2012. We recorded the restructuring charges in operations, as asset impairment and exit costs, and recorded the implementation and transition costs in operations, as a part of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. The breakdown of these costs by segment is shown in Note 6, Restructuring Program, to the consolidated financial statements.

Included within our segment results are sales to Mondelēz International, which totaled $114 million in 2012, $100 million in 2011, and $79 million in 2010.

Beverages

2012 compared with 2011:

Net revenues decreased $272 million (9.0%) which includes the impacts of the Starbucks CPG business cessation (2.7 pp) and of the 53 week of shipments in 2011 (1.2 pp). Organic Net Revenues decreased $148 million (5.1%), due to unfavorable volume/mix (5.5 pp, including a detriment of approximately 3.3 pp due to customer trade inventory reductions), partially offset by higher net pricing (0.4 pp). Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by lower shipments of ready-to-drink beverages, powdered beverages, and coffee, partially offset by favorable volume/mix from liquid concentrates. Higher net pricing was due primarily to higher commodity cost-driven pricing.

Segment operating income decreased $190 million (42.2%), due primarily to costs incurred for the Restructuring Program, unfavorable volume/mix, increased commodity costs, higher advertising and consumer spending, the impact of divestitures, and the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011. This was partially offset by lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, higher net pricing, and lower manufacturing costs (driven by net productivity).

2011 compared with 2010:

Net revenues decreased $206 million (6.4%) which includes the impact of the Starbucks CPG business cessation (14.5 pp), partially offset by the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011 (1.4 pp). Organic Net Revenues increased $182 million (6.7%) due to higher net pricing (6.2 pp) and favorable volume/mix (0.5 pp). Higher net pricing was due primarily to commodity cost-driven pricing in coffee. Favorable volume/mix was driven by higher shipments in ready-to-drink beverages in advance of an announced 2012 list price increase and the introduction of liquid concentrates, partially offset by lower shipments of coffee.

Segment operating income decreased $114 million (20.2%), due primarily to increased commodity costs and the impact of the Starbucks CPG business cessation, partially offset by higher net pricing, lower manufacturing costs, favorable volume/mix, the impact of the 53rd week of shipments in 2011, and lower advertising and consumer spending.

Cheese

2012 compared with 2011:

Net revenues increased $35 million (0.9%) which includes the impact of higher sales to Mondelēz International (0.4 pp), offset by the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011 (1.3 pp). Organic Net Revenues increased $69 million (1.8%), driven by higher net pricing (2.2 pp) partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (0.4 pp, including a detriment of approximately 1.2 pp due to product pruning). Higher net pricing was realized in the specialty, grated, recipe, and natural cheese categories. Unfavorable volume/mix was due primarily to product pruning and lower shipments of grated cheese, partially offset by favorable volume/mix in natural cheese driven by higher shipments.

Segment operating income decreased $11 million (1.7%), due primarily to costs incurred for the Restructuring Program, higher advertising and consumer spending, and the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011, partially offset by higher net pricing, lower manufacturing costs (driven by net productivity), lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, and lower commodity costs.

2011 compared with 2010:

Net revenues increased $282 million (8.0%) which includes the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011 (1.3 pp), partially offset by the impact of divestitures (0.4 pp).

cheese categories, was due to commodity cost-driven pricing. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven primarily by lower shipments in sandwich, cream cheese, and recipe cheese categories, partially offset by higher shipments in cultured, natural cheese, and grated cheese categories.

Segment operating income increased $31 million (5.2%), due primarily to higher net pricing, lower other selling, general and administrative expenses (including a termination fee received due to the restructuring of a service contract), lower manufacturing costs, the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011, and the 2010 loss on a divestiture, partially offset by higher commodity costs (primarily higher dairy costs), unfavorable volume/mix, and higher advertising and consumer spending.

Refrigerated Meals

2012 compared with 2011:

Net revenues decreased $32 million (1.0%) which includes the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011 (1.3 pp). Organic Net Revenues increased $11 million (0.3%) due to higher net pricing (1.6 pp), partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (1.3 pp, including a detriment of approximately 0.7 pp due to product pruning). Unfavorable volume/mix was driven primarily by pruning of certain meat products and lower shipments in hot dogs, partially offset by favorable mix in cold cuts. Higher net pricing was due to commodity cost-driven pricing primarily related to lunch combinations and hot dogs.

Segment operating income increased $60 million (18.8%), driven primarily by higher net pricing, lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, and lower manufacturing costs (driven by net productivity), partially offset by costs incurred for the Restructuring Program, increased commodity costs, higher advertising and consumer spending, the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011, and unfavorable volume/mix.

2011 compared with 2010:

Net revenues increased $197 million (6.3%) which includes the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011 (1.4pp). Organic Net Revenues increased $154 million (4.9%) due to higher net pricing (6.7 pp), partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (1.8 pp). Higher net pricing was driven by bacon, cold cuts, hot dogs, and lunch combinations. Unfavorable volume/mix was due primarily to lower shipments in bacon and hot dogs, partially offset by higher shipments in cold cuts and lunch combinations.

Segment operating income increased $51 million (19.0%), due primarily to higher net pricing, lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, lower manufacturing costs, and the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011, partially offset by higher commodity costs, the impact of divestitures (lower income from a transition services agreement related to the Frozen Pizza business), unfavorable volume/mix, and higher advertising and consumer spending.

Grocery

2012 compared with 2011:

Net revenues decreased $5 million (0.1%) which includes the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011 (1.2 pp). Organic Net Revenues increased $47 million (1.0%) driven by higher net pricing (4.9 pp) partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (3.9 pp, including a detriment of approximately 0.4 pp due to product pruning and 0.4 pp due to customer trade inventory reductions). Unfavorable volume/mix in the snack nuts, ready-to-eat desserts, pourable and spoonable dressings, and barbecue sauce categories was driven by lower shipments, partially offset by higher shipments in dinners. Higher net pricing was driven by higher commodity cost-driven pricing actions in snack nuts, macaroni and cheese dinners, and pourable and spoonable dressings.

Segment operating income decreased $12 million (0.9%), due primarily to increased commodity costs, unfavorable volume/mix, costs incurred for the Restructuring Program, and the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011, partially offset by higher net pricing, lower manufacturing costs (driven by net productivity), lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, and lower advertising and consumer spending.

2011 compared with 2010:

Net revenues increased $243 million (5.6%) which includes the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011 (1.2 pp). Organic Net Revenues increased $188 million (4.4%) due to higher net pricing (7.9 pp) , partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (3.5 pp). Higher net pricing was reflected across most grocery categories including snack nuts, spoonable dressings, macaroni and cheese dinners, dry packaged desserts, and ready-to-eat desserts. Unfavorable volume/mix was driven by lower shipments, primarily spoonable dressings, snack nuts, ready-to-eat desserts, barbecue sauces, dessert toppings, and dry packaged desserts, partially offset by new products in the dinners category and the introduction of peanut butter.

Segment operating income increased $70 million (5.6%), driven primarily by higher net pricing, the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011, lower other selling, general and administrative expenses, and lower advertising and consumer spending, partially offset by higher commodity costs, unfavorable volume/mix, and higher manufacturing costs.

International & Foodservice

2012 compared with 2011:

Net revenues decreased $42 million (1.1%) which includes the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011 (1.2 pp) and unfavorable foreign currency (0.5 pp). Organic Net Revenues increased $30 million (0.8%) due to higher net pricing (3.8 pp) partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix (3.0 pp, including a detriment of approximately 2.4 pp due to product pruning). In Canada, net revenues increased, driven primarily by higher net pricing, partially offset by the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011 and unfavorable foreign currency. In Foodservice, net revenues decreased, due primarily to unfavorable volume/mix, the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011, and unfavorable foreign currency, partially offset by higher net pricing. In our Export business, net revenues increased, driven by higher net pricing, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix and lower sales to Mondelēz International.

Segment operating income decreased $3 million (0.6%), due primarily to unfavorable volume/mix, costs incurred for the Restructuring Program, increased commodity costs, higher advertising and consumer spending, higher manufacturing costs, and the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011, partially offset by higher net pricing.

2011 compared with 2010:

Net revenues increased $342 million (9.5%) which includes favorable foreign currency (2.5 pp), the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011 (1.3 pp), and higher sales to Mondelēz International (0.4 pp), partially offset by the impact of divestitures (0.5 pp). Organic Net Revenues increased $202 million (5.8%) due to favorable volume/mix (2.9 pp) and higher net pricing (2.9 pp). In Canada, net revenues increased, driven primarily by higher net pricing, favorable foreign currency, the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011, and favorable volume/mix, partially offset by the impact of divestitures. In Foodservice, net revenues increased, driven primarily by higher net pricing, favorable volume/mix, the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011, and favorable foreign currency, partially offset by the impact of divestitures. In our Export business, net revenues increased, driven by favorable volume/mix and higher sales to Mondelēz International, partially offset by lower pricing.

Segment operating income increased $8 million (1.7%), driven primarily by higher net pricing, favorable volume/mix, lower manufacturing costs, favorable foreign currency, and the impact of the 53 week of shipments in 2011, partially offset by higher commodity costs and higher other selling, general and administrative expenses.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include Kraft Foods Group, as well as our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions are eliminated.

Prior to the Spin-Off on October 1, 2012, our financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Mondelēz International. Our financial statements included certain expenses of Mondelēz International which were allocated to us for certain functions, including general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, compliance, shared services, insurance, employee benefits and incentives, and stock-based compensation. These expenses were allocated in our historical results of operations on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, operating income, or headcount. We considered the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, these allocations were not necessarily indicative of the actual expenses we would have incurred as an independent public company or of the costs we will incur in the future, and may differ substantially from the allocations we agreed to in the various separation agreements.

Prior to the Spin-Off, our period-end date was the last day of the calendar year. However, for reporting purposes, we have changed our period-end date to the last Saturday of the fiscal year, which aligns with the financial close dates of our operating segments. As the effect to prior period results was not material, we have not revised prior period results. Because our operating segments reported results on the last Saturday of the year and December 31, 2011 fell on a Saturday, our 2011 results included an extra week (“53 week”) of operating results than in 2012 or 2010 which had 52 weeks.

Long-Lived Assets: We review long-lived assets for impairment when conditions exist that indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We perform undiscounted operating cash flow analyses to determine if an impairment exists. When testing for impairment of assets held for use, we group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable. If we determine an impairment exists, we calculate the loss based on estimated fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets: We test goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets for impairment at least once a year in the fourth quarter. The first step compares the reporting unit’s estimated fair value with its carrying value. We estimate a reporting unit’s fair value using planned growth rates, market-based discount rates, estimates of residual value, and estimates of market multiples. Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, industry, and economic conditions and our actual results and conditions may differ over time. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s net assets exceeds its fair value, the second step is applied to measure the difference between the carrying value and implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the goodwill is considered impaired and reduced to its implied fair value. We test non-amortizable intangible assets for impairment by comparing the fair value of each intangible asset with its carrying value. We determine fair value of non-amortizable intangible assets using planned growth rates, market-based discount rates, and estimates of royalty rates. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, the intangible asset is considered impaired and is reduced to fair value.

Insurance and Self-Insurance: We use a combination of insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks, including workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, product liability, and our obligation for employee health care benefits. Liabilities associated with the risks are estimated by considering historical claims experience and other actuarial assumptions.

Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenues when title and risk of loss pass to customers, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery of goods. Revenues are recorded net of consumer incentives and trade promotions and include all shipping and handling charges billed to customers. Provisions for product returns and customer allowances are also recorded as reductions to revenues within the same period that the revenue is recognized. Shipping and handling costs of $1.0 million in 2012 and 2011 and $0.9 million in 2010, related to product returns, are included in cost of sales.

Marketing and Research and Development: We promote our products with advertising, consumer incentives, and trade promotions. These programs include, but are not limited to, discounts, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives, and volume-based incentives. Consumer incentive and trade promotion activities are recorded as a reduction to revenues based on amounts estimated as being due to customers and consumers at the end of a period. We base these estimates principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. For interim reporting purposes, advertising and consumer incentive expenses are charged to operations as a percentage of volume, based on estimated volume and related expense for the full year. We do not defer costs on our year-end consolidated balance sheet and all marketing costs are recorded as an expense in the year incurred. Advertising expense was $640 million in 2012, $535 million in 2011, and $540 million in 2010. We expense costs as incurred for product research and development. Research and development expense was $178 million in 2012, $198 million in 2011, and $185 million in 2010. We record marketing and research and development expenses within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Environmental Costs: We are subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. We accrue for environmental remediation obligations on an undiscounted basis when amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from third parties are recorded as assets when recovery of those costs is deemed probable. At December 29, 2012, our subsidiaries were involved in 63 active actions in the U.S. under Superfund legislation (and other similar actions and legislation) related to current operations and certain former or divested operations for which we retain liability. We are subject to applicable multi-national, national, and local environmental laws and regulations in the countries in which we do business. We have specific programs across our business units designed to meet applicable environmental compliance requirements.

As of December 29, 2012, we had accrued an amount we deemed appropriate for environmental remediation. This amount was insignificant to our balance sheet. Based on information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of existing environmental remediation actions and our compliance in general with environmental laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our financial condition. However, we cannot quantify with certainty the potential impact of future compliance efforts and environmental remediation actions.

Postemployment Benefit Plans: Prior to the Spin-Off, Mondelēz International provided defined benefit pension, postretirement health care, defined contribution, and multiemployer pension and medical benefits to our eligible employees and retirees. As such, these liabilities were not reflected in our consolidated balance sheets. We provided pension coverage for certain employees of our Canadian operations through separate plans and certain pension and postemployment benefits of our Canadian operations were included in our financial statements prior to the Spin-Off. When we became a stand-alone, independent company, we assumed the obligations previously provided by Mondelēz International. Mondelēz International transferred to us the plan assets and liabilities associated with our active and retired and other former employees. Additionally, we assumed certain net benefit plan liabilities for most of the Mondelēz International retired and other former North American employees as of October 1, 2012. We assumed net benefit plan liabilities of $5.5 billion from Mondelēz International, which was in addition to the $0.1 billion of net benefit plan liabilities we had previously reported in our historical financial statements, for a total liability of $5.6 billion on October 1, 2012.

Our consolidated statements of earnings include expense allocations for these benefits through September 30, 2012, which were determined based on a review of personnel by business unit and based on allocations of corporate or other shared functional personnel. We consider the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented.

Total Mondelēz International benefit plan costs allocated to us in the first nine months of 2012 prior to the Spin-Off, in 2011, and in 2010 were as follows:

These costs are reflected in our cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. These costs were funded through intercompany transactions with Mondelēz International and were reflected within the parent company investment equity balance. The increase in benefit plan costs allocated to us from Mondelēz International in 2012 compared to 2011, on an annualized basis, is due to an increase in the benefit plan costs recognized by Mondelēz International in 2012 driven by a decrease in the discount rate used.

Certain pension plans in our Canadian operations and our other postemployment benefit plans were our direct obligations and have been recorded within our historical financial statements. We recorded amounts relating to these plans and the remaining pension, postretirement, and other postemployment benefit plans transferred from Mondelēz International on October 1, 2012, based on calculations specified by U.S. GAAP. These calculations require the use of various actuarial assumptions, such as discount rates, assumed rates of return on plan assets, compensation increases, and turnover rates. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when appropriate. We believe that the assumptions used in recording our pension, postretirement, and other postemployment benefit plan obligations are reasonable based on our experience and advice from our actuaries. See Note 10, Postemployment Benefit Plans, to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the assumptions used.

We recorded the following amounts in earnings for these postemployment benefit plans during the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

The 2012 net expense for postemployment benefit plans of $232 million increased by $108 million over the 2011 amount. The cost increase primarily related to the transfer of pension and postretirement benefit plans from Mondelēz International as a result of the Spin-Off. The 2011 net expense for postemployment benefit plans of $124 million increased by $116 million over the 2010 amount. The cost increase primarily related to higher pension plan costs, including market-based changes, and the incorporation of a Canadian postemployment plan into our obligations.

In December of 2012, we elected to change our method of accounting for defined benefit costs. Under our new accounting method, we recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and net actuarial gains or losses immediately upon remeasurement, which is at least annually, and typically in the fourth quarter of each year. Previously, we calculated the market-related value of plan assets reflecting changes in the fair value of plan assets over a four-year period. In addition, actuarial gains or losses were deferred, and amounts in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the market-related value of plan assets or the plans’ projected benefit obligation were recognized over the remaining service life of plan participants. We believe that this new mark-to-market (“MTM”) policy is preferable as it will provide greater transparency to on-going operational results and better reflect the economics of our obligations to participants. This change has been reported through retrospective application of the new policy to all periods presented.

In order to align cash flows with expenses and reduce volatility, we have executed a level funding strategy. For our U.S. qualified pension plans, in 2013, we are currently only required to make a nominal cash contribution under the Pension Protection Act of 2006. In 2012, we contributed $7 million to our U.S. pension plans and $35 million to our non-U.S. pension plans. We did not make any voluntary contributions to our pension plans in 2012. We make contributions to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, primarily, to the extent that they are tax deductible. In addition, employees contributed $3 million to our non-U.S. plans.

We froze our U.S. pension plans for current salaried and non-union hourly employees effective December 31, 2019. Pension accruals for all salaried and non-union employees who are currently earning pension benefits will end on December 31, 2019, and continuing pay and service will be used to calculate the pension benefits through December 31, 2019.

For our postretirement plans, our 2013 health care cost trend rate assumption will be 7.53%. We established this rate based upon our most recent experience as well as our expectation for health care trend rates going forward. We anticipate that our health care cost trend rate assumption will be 5.03% by 2023. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects as of December 29, 2012:

Our 2013 discount rate assumption is 3.89% for our postretirement plans. Our 2013 discount rate is 4.05% for our U.S. pension plans and 4.00% for our non-U.S. pension plans. We model these discount rates using a portfolio of high quality, fixed-income debt instruments with durations that match the expected future cash flows of the benefit obligations. Changes in our discount rates were primarily the result of changes in bond yields year-over-year.

Our 2013 expected rate of return on plan assets is 5.75% for our U.S. pension plans and 5.00% for our non-U.S. pension plans. We determine our expected rate of return on plan assets from the plan assets’ historical long-term investment performance, current and future asset allocation, and estimates of future long-term returns by asset class. We attempt to maintain our target asset allocation by rebalancing between asset classes as we make contributions and monthly benefit payments.

While we do not anticipate further changes in the 2013 assumptions for our U.S. and non-U.S. pension and postretirement health care plans, as a sensitivity measure, a fifty-basis point change in our discount rate or a fifty-basis point change in the actual rate of return on plan assets would have the following effects, increase / (decrease) in cost, as of December 29, 2012:

Income Taxes: We recognize tax benefits when they have a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We recognize deferred tax assets for temporary differences, operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards. We reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

New Accounting Guidance

See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of new accounting standards.

Contingencies

See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements.

Commodity Trends

We purchase large quantities of commodities, including dairy products, coffee beans, meat products, wheat, corn products, soybean and vegetable oils, nuts, and sugar and other sweeteners. In addition, we use significant quantities of resins and cardboard to package our products, and natural gas to operate our factories and warehouses. We continuously monitor worldwide supply and cost trends of these commodities.

The most significant cost component of our cheese products are dairy commodities, including milk and cheese. We purchase our dairy raw material requirements from independent third parties such as agricultural cooperatives and independent processors. Market supply and demand, as well as government programs substantially influence the price for milk and other dairy products. The most significant cost component of our coffee products is coffee beans, which we purchase on world markets. Quality and availability of supply, changes in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to certain other currencies, and consumer demand for coffee products impact coffee bean prices. Significant cost components in our meat business include pork, beef, and poultry, which we purchase on domestic markets. Livestock feed costs and the global demand for U.S. meats influence the prices of these meat products. Other significant cost components in our grocery products are grains, including wheat, sugar, and soybean oil.

During 2012, our aggregate commodity costs increased over the prior year, primarily as a result of higher costs of nuts, sugar, packaging materials, other raw materials, energy, flour and grain costs, meat products, and oils, partially offset by lower dairy and coffee costs. Our commodity costs increased approximately $0.2 billion in 2012 and $1.0 billion in 2011 compared to the prior year. We have addressed higher commodity costs primarily through higher pricing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that cash generated from our operating activities, our $3.0 billion revolving credit facility, and our commercial paper program will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our working capital needs, expected Restructuring Program expenditures, planned capital expenditures, our planned voluntary contributions to our postemployment benefit plans, future contractual obligations, and payment of our anticipated quarterly dividends. We will use our cash and commercial paper program for daily funding requirements. Overall, we do not expect any negative effects on our funding sources that would have a material effect on our short-term or long-term liquidity.

Historically, certain cash balances were swept by Mondelēz International, and we received funding from Mondelēz International for our operating and investing cash needs. As agreed under the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Mondelēz International and us, they retained the cash swept by Mondelēz International prior to the Spin-Off. We expect to finance short-term cash needs through our existing cash balance, cash from our operating activities, our commercial paper program, and our $3.0 billion revolving credit facility.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities: Operating activities provided net cash of $3.0 billion in 2012, $2.7 billion in 2011, and $828 million in 2010. The increase in operating cash flows in 2012 is primarily related to earnings, partially offset by higher interest payments on our long term debt. Our results included $418 million of deferred tax adjustments as a result of our $3.6 billion debt exchange. The increase in operating cash flows in 2011 primarily related to the prior year payment of taxes in connection with the 2010 Frozen Pizza divestiture and the favorable timing of the collection of receivables and the payment of our accounts payable, partially offset by increased inventory levels.

Net Cash Provided by / (Used in) Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities was $422 million in 2012 and $401 million in 2011. Net cash provided by investing activities was $3.3 billion in 2010. The increase in cash used in investing activities in 2012 primarily related to increased capital expenditures partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment. In 2010, we received $3.7 billion in proceeds from the sale of the Frozen Pizza business.

Capital expenditures were $440 million in 2012, $401 million in 2011, and $448 million in 2010. The 2012 capital expenditures were primarily used to modernize manufacturing facilities and support new product and productivity initiatives. We expect 2013 capital expenditures to be up to $700 million, including capital expenditures required for our Restructuring Program and IT systems investments. We expect to fund these expenditures from operations.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities was $1.4 billion in 2012, $2.3 billion in 2011, and $4.1 billion in 2010. The net cash used in 2012 primarily related to $7.2 billion of net transfers to Mondelēz International partially offset by the net proceeds we received from our $6.0 billion debt issuance. The net cash used in financing activities in 2011 and 2010 primarily related to net transfers to Mondelēz International.

Borrowing Arrangements: On March 8, 2012, in connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a $4.0 billion 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility that was to expire on March 7, 2013. On September 24, 2012, we terminated this facility with no amounts drawn.

On May 18, 2012, we entered into a $3.0 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on May 17, 2017. All committed borrowings under the facility will bear interest at a variable annual rate based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate or a defined base rate, at our election, plus an applicable margin based on the ratings of our long-term senior unsecured indebtedness. The revolving credit agreement requires us to maintain a minimum total shareholders’ equity (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income or losses and any income or losses recognized in connection with “mark-to-market” accounting in respect of pension and other retirement plans) of at least $2.4 billion. At December 29, 2012, our total shareholders’ equity (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income or losses and any income or losses recognized in connection with “mark-to-market” accounting in respect of pension and other retirement plans) was $4.0 billion. The revolving credit agreement also contains customary representations, covenants, and events of default. We intend to use the proceeds of this facility for general corporate purposes. As of December 29, 2012, no amounts were drawn on this credit facility.

Long-Term Debt: On June 4, 2012, we issued $6.0 billion of senior unsecured notes at a weighted-average effective rate of 3.938% and transferred the net proceeds of $5.9 billion to Mondelēz International. We also recorded approximately $260 million of deferred financing costs which will be recognized in interest expense over the life of the notes. The general terms of the notes are:

On July 18, 2012, Mondelēz International completed a debt exchange in which $3.6 billion of Mondelēz International debt was exchanged for our debt in connection with our Spin-Off capitalization plan. No cash was generated from the exchange. We recorded deferred tax liabilities in connection with the debt exchange and the balance was $418 million as of December 29, 2012. The general terms of the notes issued are:

On October 1, 2012, Mondelēz International transferred approximately $400 million of Mondelēz International 7.550% senior unsecured notes maturing in June 2015 to us to complete the key elements of the debt migration plan in connection with the Spin-Off.

Total Debt: Our total debt was $10.0 billion at December 29, 2012 and $35 million at December 31, 2011. The weighted-average remaining term of our debt was 14.2 years at December 29, 2012. Prior to our debt issuance in 2012, our total debt consisted entirely of capital lease obligations.

Our long term debt contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. We were in compliance with all covenants as of December 29, 2012.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements other than the guarantees and contractual obligations that are discussed below.

Guarantees: As discussed in Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements, we have third-party guarantees primarily covering certain long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of those transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. At December 29, 2012, the carrying amount of our third-party guarantees on our consolidated balance sheet and the maximum potential payments under these guarantees was $22 million. We have off-balance sheet guarantees primarily covering third-party contractual payments related to leased properties. At December 29, 2012, the maximum potential payments under these off-balance sheet guarantees was $42 million. Substantially all of these guarantees expire at various times through 2027.

As of December 29, 2012, Mondelēz International and three of its indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, including a subsidiary that became our indirect wholly owned subsidiary as a result of the Spin-Off, are joint and several guarantors of $1.0 billion of indebtedness issued by Cadbury Schweppes US Finance LLC and maturing on October 1, 2013. Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Mondelēz International and us, Mondelēz International has agreed to indemnify us in the event our subsidiary is called upon to satisfy its obligation under the guarantee. Accordingly, we have no obligation included on our balance sheets for this guarantee.

In addition, we were contingently liable for guarantees related to our own performance totaling $74 million at December 29, 2012 and $154 million at December 31, 2011. These include letters of credit related to dairy commodity purchases and other letters of credit.

Guarantees do not have, and we do not expect them to have, a material effect on our liquidity.

During 2012, our long-term debt and expected interest payments increased as we recorded $10.0 billion of senior unsecured notes. See Note 7, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on the long-term debt issuances and related terms.

39

• $787 million of notes due February 9, 2040 at a fixed, annual interest rate of 6.500%. Interest is payable

semiannually beginning August 9, 2012. This debt was issued in exchange for an approximately equal principal amount of Mondelēz International’s 6.500% Notes due in 2040.

Aggregate Contractual Obligations: The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at December 29, 2012.

Equity and Dividends

Stock Plans: Under the Kraft Foods Group, Inc. 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), we may grant eligible employees awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other awards based on our common stock, as well as performance-based long-term incentive awards (“Performance Shares”). In addition, we may grant shares of our common stock to members of our Board of Directors who are not our full-time employees under the 2012 Plan. We are authorized to issue a maximum of 72.0 million shares of our common stock under the 2012 Plan. Stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the plan reduce the authorized shares available for issue at a ratio of one share per award granted. All other awards, such as restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares, granted reduce the authorized shares available for issue at a ratio of three shares per award granted. At December 29, 2012, there were 45,455,320 shares available to be granted under the 2012 Plan.

In connection with the Spin-Off, restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Share awards and employee stock option awards were adjusted and converted into new equity awards using a formula designed to preserve the value of the awards immediately prior to the Spin-Off.

(1) Amounts represent the expected cash payments of our long-term debt and do not include unamortized bond premiums or discounts. (2) Amounts represent the expected cash payments of our interest expense on our long-term debt.

(3) Amounts represent the expected cash payments of our capital leases, including the expected cash payments of interest expense of

approximately $9 million on our capital leases. (4) Operating leases represent the minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases.

(5) Purchase obligations for inventory and production costs (such as raw materials, indirect materials and supplies, packaging, co-manufacturing arrangements, storage, and distribution) are commitments for projected needs to be utilized in the normal course of business. Other purchase obligations include commitments for marketing, advertising, capital expenditures, information technology, and professional services. Arrangements are considered purchase obligations if a contract specifies all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, a pricing structure, and approximate timing of the transaction. Any amounts reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are excluded from the table above.

(6) In order to align cash flows with expenses and reduce volatility, we have executed a level funding strategy. Based our level funding strategy, we

estimate that 2013 pension contributions would be approximately $625 million to our U.S. and non-U.S plans and approximately $225 million annually in 2014 and thereafter.

(7) Other long-term liabilities primarily consist of estimated future benefit payments for our postretirement health care plans through 2022 of approximately $2,466 million. We are unable to reliably estimate the timing of the payments beyond 2022; as such, they are excluded from the above table. There are also another $9 million of various other long-term liabilities that are expected to be paid over the next 5 years. In addition, the following long-term liabilities included on the consolidated balance sheet are excluded from the table above: income taxes, insurance accruals, and other accruals. We are unable to reliably estimate the timing of the payments for these items. As of December 29, 2012, our total liability for income taxes, including uncertain tax positions and associated accrued interest and penalties, was $438 million. We currently estimate paying approximately $180 million in the next 12 months.

On October 1, 2012, immediately prior to the Spin-Off, the stock awards were modified as follows:

Subsequent to the Spin-Off, our employees and directors were granted an additional 0.4 million RSUs of our common stock with a weighted average market value of $41.95 per share.

Dividends: On December 10, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a $0.50 per common share dividend, payable on January 14, 2013. We recorded $296 million of dividends payable as of December 29, 2012. No dividends were paid in 2012, 2011, or 2010. The present annualized dividend rate is $2.00 per common share. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our net earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant to its analysis and decision making.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate our performance. We have disclosed the following measures so that you have the same financial data that we use to assist you in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing our underlying performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect how we evaluate our operating results currently. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change over time. We use “Organic Net Revenues” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is defined as net revenues excluding the impact of transactions with Mondelēz International, acquisitions, divestitures (including the termination of a full line of business due to the loss of a licensing or distribution arrangement, and the complete exit of business out of a foreign country), currency, and the 53 week of shipments in 2011.

41

• Stock options: Holders of stock option awards received Mondelēz International stock options to purchase the same number of shares of Mondelēz International common stock at an adjusted exercise price and one new Kraft Foods Group stock option at an adjusted exercise price for every three Mondelēz International stock options to preserve the value of the overall awards granted.

• Restricted Stock and RSUs: Holders of Mondelēz International restricted stock or RSU awards received one

share of Kraft Foods Group restricted shares or RSUs for every three restricted shares or RSUs of Mondelēz International they held prior to the Spin-Off.

• Performance Shares: Performance Shares held by our employees were converted to Kraft Foods Group

awards. The underlying performance conditions for the Kraft Foods Group Performance Shares were modified to reflect new performance targets.

We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure, when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measure and the reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure, provides you with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent these disclosures. Because non-GAAP financial measures may vary among other companies, the Organic Net Revenue measure we present in the Consolidated Results of Operations section may not be comparable to the similarly titled measure used by other companies. Our use of this non-GAAP financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP financial measure. A limitation of non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude items detailed below which have an impact on U.S. GAAP reported results. The best way this limitation can be addressed is by evaluating our Organic Net Revenue measure in combination with our U.S. GAAP reported results and carefully evaluating the tables which reconcile U.S. GAAP reported figures to the non-GAAP financial measure.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

As we operate primarily in North America but source our commodities on global markets and periodically enter into financing or other arrangements abroad, we use financial instruments to manage our primary market risk exposures, which are commodity price, foreign currency exchange rate, and interest rate risks. We monitor and manage these exposures as part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results. We maintain commodity price, foreign currency, and interest rate risk management policies that principally use derivative instruments to reduce significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from volatility in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. We also sell commodity futures to unprice future purchase commitments, and we occasionally use related futures to cross-hedge a commodity exposure. We are not a party to leveraged derivatives and, by policy, do not use financial instruments for speculative purposes. Refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 11, Financial Instruments, to the consolidated financial statements for further details of our commodity price, foreign currency, and interest rate risk management policies and the types of derivative instruments we use to hedge those exposures.

Value at Risk: We use a value at risk (“VAR”) computation to estimate: 1) the potential one-day loss in pre-tax earnings of our commodity price and foreign currency-sensitive derivative financial instruments; and 2) the potential one-day loss in the fair value of our interest rate-sensitive financial instruments. We included our debt, commodity futures, forwards and options, foreign currency forwards and interest rate swaps in our VAR computation. Excluded from the computation were anticipated transactions and foreign currency trade payables and receivables which the financial instruments are intended to hedge.

We made the VAR estimates assuming normal market conditions, using a 95% confidence interval. We used a “variance / co-variance” model to determine the observed interrelationships between movements in interest rates and various currencies. These interrelationships were determined by observing interest rate and forward currency rate movements over the prior quarter for the calculation of VAR amounts at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and over each of the four prior quarters for the calculation of average VAR amounts during each year. The values of commodity options do not change on a one-to-one basis with the underlying currency or commodity, and were valued accordingly in the VAR computation.

As of December 29, 2012, the estimated potential one-day loss in pre-tax earnings from our commodity and foreign currency instruments and the estimated potential one-day loss in fair value of our interest rate-sensitive instruments, as calculated in the VAR model, were (in millions):

This VAR computation is a risk analysis tool designed to statistically estimate the maximum probable daily loss from adverse movements in commodity prices, foreign currency rates, and interest rates under normal market conditions. The computation does not represent actual losses in fair value or earnings to be incurred by us, nor does it consider the effect of favorable changes in market rates. We cannot predict actual future movements in such market rates and do not present these VAR results to be indicative of future movements in such market rates or to be representative of any actual impact that future changes in market rates may have on our future financial results.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Kraft Foods Group, Inc.:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kraft Foods Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits (which was an integrated audit in 2012). We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for postemployment benefit costs in 2012.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Kraft Foods Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business: Kraft Foods Group, Inc. (“Kraft Foods Group,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) manufactures and markets food and beverage products, including refrigerated meals, refreshment beverages and coffee, cheese, and other grocery products, primarily in the United States and Canada. Our product categories span all major meal occasions, both at home and in foodservice locations.

On October 1, 2012, Mondelēz International, Inc. (“Mondelēz International,” formerly known as Kraft Foods Inc.) created an independent public company through a spin-off of its North American grocery business to Mondelēz International’s shareholders (“Spin-Off”). In connection with the Spin-Off, Mondelēz International undertook a series of transactions to separate net assets and entities. As a result of these transactions, Mondelēz International now holds the global snacks business, and we, Kraft Foods Group, now hold the North American grocery business.

To effect the Spin-Off, Mondelēz International distributed 592 million shares of Kraft Foods Group common stock to Mondelēz International’s shareholders on October 1, 2012. Holders of Mondelēz International common stock received one share of Kraft Foods Group common stock for every three shares of Mondelēz International common stock held on September 19, 2012. Mondelēz International structured the distribution to be tax free to its U.S. shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result of the Spin-Off, we now operate as an independent, publicly traded company. Basic and diluted earnings per common share and the average number of common shares outstanding were retrospectively restated for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 for the number of Kraft Foods Group shares outstanding immediately following the transaction.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include Kraft Foods Group, as well as our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions are eliminated.

Prior to the Spin-Off on October 1, 2012, our financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Mondelēz International. Our financial statements included certain expenses of Mondelēz International which were allocated to us for certain functions, including general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, compliance, shared services, insurance, employee benefits and incentives, and stock-based compensation. These expenses were allocated in our historical results of operations on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, operating income, or headcount. We considered the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, these allocations were not necessarily indicative of the actual expenses we would have incurred as an independent public company or of the costs we will incur in the future, and may differ substantially from the allocations we agreed to in the various separation agreements.

Prior to the Spin-Off, our period-end date was the last day of the calendar year. However, for reporting purposes, we have changed our period-end date to the last Saturday of the fiscal year, which aligns with the financial close dates of our operating segments. As the effect to prior period results was not material, we have not revised prior period results. Because our operating segments reported results on the last Saturday of the year and December 31, 2011 fell on a Saturday, our 2011 results included an extra week (“53 week”) of operating results than in 2012 or 2010 which had 52 weeks.

Use of Estimates: We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require us to make accounting policy elections, estimates, and assumptions that affect a number of amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Significant accounting policy elections, estimates, and assumptions include, among others, pension and benefit plan assumptions, valuation assumptions of goodwill and intangible assets, useful lives of long-lived assets, marketing program accruals, insurance and self-insurance reserves, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable. If actual amounts differ from estimates, we include the revisions in our consolidated results of operations in the period the actual amounts become known. Historically, the aggregate differences, if any, between our estimates and actual amounts in any year have not had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Page 1 of 1

Foreign Currencies: We translate the results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries using average exchange rates during each period, whereas balance sheet accounts are translated using exchange rates at the end of each period. We record currency translation adjustments as a component of equity. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in earnings and were not significant for any of the periods presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We value all our inventories using the average cost method. We also record inventory allowances for overstocked and obsolete inventories due to ingredient and packaging changes.

Long-Lived Assets: Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost and depreciated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years and buildings and building improvements over periods up to 40 years.

We review long-lived assets for impairment when conditions exist that indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We perform undiscounted operating cash flow analyses to determine if an impairment exists. When testing for impairment of assets held for use, we group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable. If an impairment is determined to exist, the loss is calculated based on estimated fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal.

Software Costs: We capitalize certain computer software and software development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use. Capitalized software costs are included in property, plant and equipment and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the software, which do not exceed seven years.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets: We test goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets for impairment at least annually on October 1. The first step compares the reporting unit’s estimated fair value with its carrying value. We estimate a reporting unit’s fair value using planned growth rates, estimates of residual value, and estimates of market multiples. Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, industry and economic conditions, and our actual results and conditions may differ over time. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s net assets exceeds its fair value, the second step is applied to measure the difference between the carrying value and implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the goodwill is considered impaired and is reduced to its implied fair value. We test non-amortizable intangible assets for impairment by comparing the fair value of each intangible asset with its carrying value. Fair value of non-amortizable intangible assets is determined using planned growth rates, market-based discount rates, and estimates of royalty rates. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, the intangible asset is considered impaired and is reduced to fair value.

Insurance and Self-Insurance: We use a combination of insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks, including workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, product liability, and our obligation for employee healthcare benefits. Liabilities associated with the risks are estimated by considering historical claims experience and other actuarial assumptions.

Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenues when title and risk of loss pass to customers, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery of goods. Revenues are recorded net of consumer incentives and trade promotions and include all shipping and handling charges billed to customers. Provisions for product returns and allowances are also recorded as reductions to revenues within the same period that the revenue is recognized. Shipping and handling costs of $1.0 million in 2012 and 2011 and $0.9 million in 2010, related to product returns, are included in cost of sales.

Marketing and Research and Development: We promote our products with consumer incentives, trade promotions, and advertising. These programs include, but are not limited to, discounts, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives, and volume-based incentives. Consumer incentive and trade promotion activities are recorded as a reduction to revenues based on amounts estimated as being due to customers and consumers at the end of a period. We base these estimates principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. For interim reporting purposes, advertising and consumer incentive expenses are charged to operations as a percentage of volume, based on estimated volume and related expense for the full year. We do not defer costs on our year-end consolidated balance sheet and all marketing costs are recorded as an expense in the year incurred. Advertising expense was $640 million in 2012, $535 million in 2011, and $540 million in 2010. We expense costs as incurred for product research and development. Research and development expense was $178 million in 2012, $198 million in 2011, and $185 million in 2010. We record marketing expense in selling, general and administrative expense, except for consumer incentives and trade promotions, which are recorded in net revenues. Research and development expenses are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Environmental Costs: We are subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. We accrue for environmental remediation obligations on an undiscounted basis when amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from third parties are recorded as assets when recovery of those costs is deemed probable. At December 29, 2012, our subsidiaries were involved in 63 active actions in the U.S. under Superfund legislation (and other similar actions and legislation) related to current operations and certain former or divested operations for which we retain liability. We are subject to applicable multi-national, national, and local environmental laws and regulations in the countries in which we do business. We have specific programs across our business units designed to meet applicable environmental compliance requirements.

As of December 29, 2012, we had accrued an amount we deemed appropriate for environmental remediation. The amount was insignificant to our balance sheet. Based on information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of existing environmental remediation actions and our compliance in general with environmental laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our financial condition. However, we cannot quantify with certainty the potential impact of future compliance efforts and environmental remediation actions.

Postemployment Benefit Plans: We provide a range of benefits to our eligible employees and retired employees. These include defined benefit pension, postretirement health care, defined contribution, and multiemployer pension and medical benefits. Our pension, postretirement, and other postemployment (collectively, “postemployment”) benefit plans cover most salaried and certain hourly employees. The cost of these plans is charged to expense over the working life of the covered employees. Prior to the Spin-Off, Mondelēz International provided certain of these benefits to our employees and allocated to us the related costs. The liabilities associated with the Mondelēz International plans were not reflected in our balance sheets as we accounted for our participation in the Mondelēz International plans in a manner similar to multiemployer accounting.

In December of 2012, we elected to change our method of accounting for defined benefit costs. Under our new accounting method, we recognize net actuarial gains or losses and changes in the fair value of plan assets immediately upon remeasurement, which is at least annually, and typically in the fourth quarter of each year. Previously, we calculated the market-related value of plan assets reflecting changes in the fair value of plan assets over a four-year period. In addition, actuarial gains or losses were deferred, and amounts in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the market-related value of plan assets or the plans’ projected benefit obligation were recognized over the remaining service life of plan participants. We believe that this new mark-to-market (“MTM”) policy is preferable as it will provide greater transparency to on-going operational results and better reflect the economics of our obligations to participants. This change has been reported through retrospective application of the new policy to all periods presented.

On October 1, 2012, Mondelēz International transferred $3.8 billion of accumulated other comprehensive losses to us related to our postemployment benefit plans. As part of the retrospective application of our new MTM policy, $4.1 billion, representing all the unrecognized actuarial losses at October 1, 2012, were reclassified to additional paid-in capital as part of the initial equity capitalization upon the consummation of our Spin-Off.

This change to MTM accounting resulted in a $5 million increase in net earnings from previously reported amounts in the quarter ended March 31, 2012, a $10 million increase in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, and a $4 million decrease in the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Our net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2012 would have been $37 million higher had we not elected to change our method of accounting for defined benefit costs. The change to MTM accounting decreased net earnings in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 by $5 million, increased net earnings in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 by $9 million, increased net earnings in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 by $15 million, and decreased net earnings in the quarter ended December 31, 2011 by $74 million from previously reported amounts. Our statement of comprehensive earnings for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010 were unchanged, except for the reclassifications to earnings from other comprehensive earnings shown above.

Our balance sheets for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010 were unchanged as a result of our change to MTM accounting, except for the impact on equity shown above. The cumulative effect of the change on parent company investment as of January 1, 2010, was a reduction of $199 million, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive losses. If we had not adopted MTM accounting, accumulated other comprehensive losses would have been approximately $4.1 billion higher at December 29, 2012.

Our statements of cash flows for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010 were unchanged, except for the impact on net earnings and other non-cash expenses. The annual recognition of actuarial gains and losses, which is reported in “Other non-cash expense, net” on our consolidated statement of cash flows, increased by $4 million in 2012, increased by $92 million in 2011, and decreased by $3 million in 2010.

Financial Instruments: As we operate primarily in North America but source our commodities on global markets and periodically enter into financing or other arrangements abroad, we use a variety of risk management strategies and financial instruments to manage commodity price, foreign currency exchange rate, and interest rate risks. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results. One way we do this is through actively hedging our risks through the use of derivative instruments.

Derivatives are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value, which fluctuates based on changing market conditions.

Certain derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting treatment, while others do not qualify and are marked to market through earnings. For cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses) within equity until the underlying hedged items are recognized in net earnings. Accordingly, we record deferred cash flow hedge gains or losses in cost of sales when the related inventory is sold and in interest and other expense, net, when the related debt interest expense is recorded. Cash flows from derivative instruments are also classified in the same manner as the underlying hedged items in the consolidated statement of cash flows. For additional information on the location of derivative activity within our operating results, see Note 11, Financial Instruments.

To qualify for hedge accounting, a specified level of hedging effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged must be achieved at inception and maintained throughout the hedged period. Any hedging ineffectiveness is recognized in net earnings when the change in the value of the hedge does not offset the change in the value of the underlying hedged item. We formally document our risk management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, the nature of and relationships between the hedging instruments and hedged items, and method for assessing hedge effectiveness. Additionally, for qualified hedges of forecasted transactions, we specifically identify the significant characteristics and expected terms of the forecasted transactions. If it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the hedge will no longer be effective and all of the derivative gains or losses would be recognized in earnings in the current period.

When we use financial instruments, we are exposed to credit risk that a counterparty might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of our agreement. We minimize our credit risk by entering into transactions with counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure we have with each counterparty, and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties. We also maintain a policy of requiring that all significant, non-exchange traded derivative contracts with a duration of greater than one year be governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreement. We are also exposed to market risk as the value of our financial instruments might be adversely affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or interest rates. We manage market risk by incorporating monitoring parameters within our risk management strategy that limit the types of derivative instruments and derivative strategies we use, and the degree of market risk that we hedge with derivative instruments.

Commodity cash flow hedges – We are exposed to price risk related to forecasted purchases of certain commodities that we primarily use as raw materials. We enter into commodity forward contracts primarily for coffee beans, meat products, sugar, wheat, and dairy products. Commodity forward contracts generally are not subject to the accounting requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities under the normal purchases exception. We also use commodity futures and options to hedge the price of certain commodity costs, including dairy products, coffee beans, meat products, wheat, corn products, soybean oils, sugar, and natural gas. Some of these derivative instruments are highly effective and qualify for hedge accounting treatment. We also sell commodity futures to unprice future purchase commitments, and we occasionally use related futures to cross-hedge a commodity exposure. We are not a party to leveraged derivatives and, by policy, do not use financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Foreign currency cash flow hedges – We use various financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to changes in exchange rates from third-party and intercompany actual and forecasted transactions. These instruments may include forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency options. We primarily use these instruments to hedge our exposure to the Canadian dollar.

Interest rate cash flow hedges – We use derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. As a matter of policy, we do not use highly leveraged derivative instruments for interest rate risk management. We primarily use interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of interest payment cash flows on a portion of our future debt obligations. Substantially all of these derivative instruments are highly effective and qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Income Taxes: We recognize tax benefits in our financial statements when our uncertain tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon audit. The amount we recognize is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

We recognize deferred tax assets for temporary differences, operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. See Note 13, Income Taxes, for additional information.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment which permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset, other than goodwill, is impaired. If an entity concludes, based on an evaluation of all relevant qualitative factors, that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, it will not be required to perform the quantitative impairment for that asset. The guidance is effective for impairment tests performed forfiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial results.

In February 2013, the FASB issued an amendment which requires disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial results.

Subsequent Events: We evaluated subsequent events and included all accounting and disclosure requirements related to subsequent events in our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Divestitures

Pizza Divestiture: On March 1, 2010, we completed the sale of the assets of our North American frozen pizza business (“Frozen Pizza”) to Nestlé USA, Inc. (“Nestlé”) for $3.7 billion. Our Frozen Pizza business was a component of our Refrigerated Meals and International & Foodservice segments. The sale included the DiGiorno, Tombstone, and Jack’s brands in the U.S., the Delissio brand in Canada and the California Pizza Kitchen trademark license. It also included two Wisconsin manufacturing facilities (Medford and Little Chute) and the leases for the pizza depots and delivery trucks. Approximately 3,600 of our employees transferred with the business to Nestlé. Accordingly, the results of our Frozen Pizza business have been reflected as discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of earnings for 2010.

Summary results of operations for the Frozen Pizza business through March 1, 2010 were as follows:

Earnings before income taxes as presented exclude associated allocated overheads of $25 million in 2010. The 2010 gain on discontinued operations from the sale of the Frozen Pizza business included tax expense of $1.2 billion.

The following assets of the Frozen Pizza business were included in the Frozen Pizza divestiture (in millions):

Note 6. Restructuring Program

On October 29, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a $650 million restructuring program consisting of restructuring costs, implementation costs, and Spin-Off transition costs (“Restructuring Program”). The Restructuring Program is part of, and its costs are consistent with, a restructuring program previously announced by Mondelēz International prior to the Spin-Off. The primary objective of the Restructuring Program activities is to ensure that we are set up to operate efficiently and execute our business strategy as a stand-alone company. Approximately one-half of the total Restructuring Program costs are expected to result in cash expenditures. We have incurred $303 million of Restructuring Program costs, of which $170 million was incurred prior to the Spin-Off. Of the total Restructuring Program costs incurred to date, $153 million were cash expenditures in 2012, of which $32 million was incurred prior to the Spin-Off. We expect to incur up to $300 million of Restructuring Program costs in 2013. In addition to approving the Restructuring Program, our Board approved related capital expenditures of $200 million. We expect to complete the program by the end of 2014.

Restructuring Costs: We anticipate incurring up to $260 million of restructuring charges, of which approximately $158 million are expected to be cash expenditures through 2014. These charges reflect primarily severance, asset disposals, and other manufacturing-related one-time costs. We recorded one-time restructuring charges of $141 million in 2012 within asset impairment and exit costs. We spent $51 million in 2012 in cash, and we also recognized non-cash asset write-downs totaling $28 million. At December 29, 2012, we recorded a $44 million restructuring liability within other current liabilities.

Implementation Costs: Implementation costs are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. We believe the disclosure of implementation costs provides greater transparency to the total costs of our Restructuring Program. Through the end of 2014, we expect to incur up to $320 million of implementation costs. To date, we recorded implementation costs of $131 million within cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. These costs primarily relate to reorganization costs related to our sales function, the optimization of information systems infrastructure, and accelerated depreciation on assets.

Spin-Off Transition Costs: We expect to incur up to $70 million of Spin-Off transition costs consisting mostly of professional service fees within the finance, legal, and information system functions and therefore, has not been allocated to the segments. During 2012, we recorded Spin-Off transition costs of $31 million within selling, general and administrative expenses. Prior to October 1, 2012, all Spin-Off transition costs were incurred by Mondelēz International.

Restructuring Program Costs by Segment: During 2012, we recorded Restructuring Program costs within segment operating income as follows:

Note 7. Debt

Borrowing Arrangements: On May 18, 2012, we entered into a $3.0 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on May 17, 2017. All committed borrowings under the facility will bear interest at a variable annual rate based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate or a defined base rate, at our election, plus an applicable margin based on the ratings of our long-term senior unsecured indebtedness. The revolving credit agreement requires us to maintain a minimum total shareholders’ equity (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income or losses and any income or losses recognized in connection with “mark-to-market” accounting in respect of pension and other retirement plans) of at least $2.4 billion. At December 29, 2012, our total shareholders’ equity (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income or losses and any income or losses recognized in connection with “mark-to-market” accounting in respect of pension and other retirement plans) was $4.0 billion. The revolving credit agreement also contains customary representations, covenants, and events of default. We intend to use the proceeds of this facility for general corporate purposes. As of December 29, 2012, no amounts were drawn on this credit facility.

On March 8, 2012, in connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a $4.0 billion 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility that was to expire on March 7, 2013. On July 18, 2012, we effected a mandatory $2.6 billion reduction of the unused commitment under the facility, leaving us with $1.4 billion of borrowing capacity under the facility. On September 24, 2012, we terminated this facility with no amounts drawn.

Long-Term Debt: On June 4, 2012, we issued $6.0 billion of senior unsecured notes at a weighted-average effective rate of 3.938% and transferred the net proceeds of $5.9 billion to Mondelēz International. We also recorded approximately $260 million of deferred financing costs, including losses on hedging activities in advance of the debt issuance, which will be recognized in interest expense over the life of the notes. The general terms of the notes are:

On July 18, 2012, Mondelēz International completed a debt exchange in which $3.6 billion of Mondelēz International debt was exchanged for our debt as part of the Spin-Off capitalization plan. No cash was generated from the exchange. We recorded deferred tax liabilities in connection with the debt exchange and the balance was $418 million as of December 29, 2012. The general terms of the notes are:

On October 1, 2012, Mondelēz International transferred approximately $400 million of Mondelēz International 7.550% senior unsecured notes maturing in June 2015 to us to complete the debt migration plan in connection with the Spin-Off.

As of December 29, 2012, aggregate maturities of long-term debt were (in millions):

Our long term debt contains customary representations, covenants, and events of default. We were in compliance with all covenants as of December 29, 2012.

Fair Value of Our Debt: The aggregate fair value of our total debt was $11.5 billion as compared with the carrying value of $10.0 billion at December 29, 2012. At December 31, 2011, our total debt only consisted of capital leases which approximated fair value. We determined the fair value of our long-term debt using Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for the publicly traded debt obligations.

Interest and Other Expense, Net: Interest and other expense, net consisted of:

The increase in interest expense in 2012 compared to 2011 was due to the $6.0 billion debt issuance in June 2012, the $3.6 billion debt exchange in July 2012 and the transfer of $0.4 billion of debt from Mondelēz International in October 2012.

Note 8. Capital Stock

Our articles of incorporation authorize 5.0 billion shares of common stock and 500 million shares of preferred stock. On October 1, 2012, Mondelēz International distributed 592 million shares of Kraft Foods Group common stock to Mondelēz International’s shareholders. Holders of Mondelēz International common stock received one share of Kraft Foods Group common stock for every three shares of Mondelēz International common stock held on September 19, 2012.

Shares of common stock issued, in treasury and outstanding were:

As of December 29, 2012, approximately 1.4 million outstanding shares were held in trust in connection with our restricted stock. See Note 9, Stock Plans, for a description of these shares. There were no preferred shares issued and outstanding at December 29, 2012.

full-time employees under the 2012 Plan. We are authorized to issue a maximum of 72.0 million shares of our common stock under the 2012 Plan. Stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the plan reduce the authorized shares available for issue at a ratio of one share per award granted. All other awards, such as restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares, granted reduce the authorized shares available for issue at a ratio of three shares per award granted. At December 29, 2012, there were 45,455,320 shares available to be granted under the 2012 Plan. All stock awards are issued to employees from authorized common shares.

In connection with the Spin-Off, restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Share awards and employee stock option awards were adjusted and converted into new equity awards using a formula designed to preserve the value of the awards immediately prior to the Spin-Off.

On October 1, 2012, immediately prior to the Spin-Off, the stock awards were modified as follows:

Prior to the Spin-Off, Mondelēz International maintained several incentive plans in which our executives and employees, and a stock compensation plan in which our non-employee directors, participated. All awards granted under the plans were based on Mondelēz International’s common shares and were reflected in Mondelēz International’s consolidated statement of equity. The expense related to those awards was allocated to us. Stock-based compensation expense allocated from Mondelēz International was $39 million in 2012, $51 million in 2011, and $49 million in 2010. The expense was allocated primarily based on headcount.

Stock Options: Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the grant date, generally become exercisable in three annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, and have a maximum term of ten years.

We account for our employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a modified Black-Scholes methodology to measure stock option expense at the date of grant. All stock option awards were granted prior to the Spin-Off. Therefore, we estimated the value of those awards based on Mondelēz International’s share price and assumptions. The fair value of the stock options at the date of grant is amortized to expense over the vesting period. We recorded compensation expense related to stock options of $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The deferred tax benefit recorded related to this compensation expense was $2 million in 2012. The unamortized compensation expense related to our stock options was $24 million at December 29, 2012 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of two years. Our weighted-average Black-Scholes fair value assumptions were as follows:

The risk-free interest rate represents the constant maturity U.S. government treasuries rate with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options. The expected life is the period over which our employees are expected to hold their options. Volatility reflects historical movements in Mondelēz International’s stock price for a period commensurate with the expected life of the options. Dividend yield is estimated over the expected life of the options based on Mondelēz International’s stated dividend policy.

61

• Stock options: Holders of stock option awards received Mondelēz International stock options to purchase the same number of shares of Mondelēz International common stock at an adjusted exercise price and one new Kraft Foods Group stock option at an adjusted exercise price for every three Mondelēz International stock options to preserve the value of the overall awards granted.

• Restricted stock and RSUs: Holders of Mondelēz International restricted stock or RSU awards received one

share of Kraft Foods Group restricted shares or RSUs for every three restricted shares or RSUs of Mondelēz International they held prior to the Spin-Off.

• Performance Shares: Performance Shares held by our employees were converted to Kraft Foods Group

awards. The underlying performance conditions for the Kraft Foods Group Performance Shares were modified to reflect new performance targets.

A summary of stock option activity related to our shares for both our and Mondelēz International employees for the year ended December 29, 2012 is presented below. All awards granted have been adjusted to reflect the conversion as of the Spin-Off. With respect to the Mondelēz International stock options granted prior to the Spin-Off, the converted options retained the vesting schedule and expiration date of the original stock options. Stock option activity for the year ended December 29, 2012 was:

The total intrinsic value of options exercised subsequent to the Spin-Off was $8 million in 2012. Cash received from options exercised was $15 million in 2012. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from the option exercises totaled $1 million in 2012.

Restricted Stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares: We may grant shares of restricted stock or RSUs to eligible employees and directors, giving them, in most instances, all of the rights of shareholders, except that they may not sell, assign, pledge, or otherwise encumber the shares. Shares of restricted stock and RSUs are subject to forfeiture if certain employment conditions are not met. Restricted stock and RSUs generally vest on the third anniversary of the grant date.

Shares granted in connection with our performance share plan, and in connection with Mondelēz International’s long-term incentive plan prior to the Spin-Off, vest based on varying performance, market, and service conditions. The unvested shares have no voting rights and do not pay dividends.

The fair value of the restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares at the date of grant is amortized to earnings over the restriction period. Subsequent to the Spin-Off, we recorded compensation expense related to restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares of $11 million in 2012. The deferred tax benefit recorded related to this compensation expense was $4 million in 2012. The unamortized compensation expense related to our restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares was $67 million at December 29, 2012 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of two years.

Our restricted stock, RSU, and Performance Share activity for the year ended December 29, 2012 was:

The weighted-average grant date fair value of our RSUs granted was $18 million, or $41.95 per restricted or deferred share, in the fourth quarter of 2012. The vesting date fair value of restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares was $2 million in 2012.

Note 10. Postemployment Benefit Plans

We provide a range of benefits to our employees and retired employees. These include pension benefits, postretirement health care benefits, and other postemployment benefits, as follows:

Our Participation in Mondelēz International’s Pension and Other Postemployment Benefit Plans and the Spin-Off Impact:

Prior to the Spin-off, Mondelēz International provided defined benefit pension, postretirement health care, defined contribution, and multiemployer pension and medical benefits to our eligible employees and retirees. As such, we applied the multiemployer plan accounting approach and these liabilities were not reflected in our consolidated balance sheets. We provided pension coverage for certain employees of our Canadian operations through separate plans and certain pension and postemployment benefits of our Canadian operations, which were included in our financial statements prior to the Spin-Off. As part of the Spin-Off, the plans were split and we assumed the obligations previously provided by Mondelēz International. Accordingly, Mondelēz International transferred to us the plan assets and liabilities associated with our active, retired, and other former employees, including liabilities for most of the retired North American Mondelēz International employees. We assumed net benefit plan liabilities of $5.5 billion from Mondelēz International, which was in addition to the $0.1 billion of net benefit plan liabilities we had previously reported in our historical financial statements, for a total liability of $5.6 billion on October 1, 2012.

Total Mondelēz International benefit plan costs allocated to us were $491 million in the first nine months of 2012 prior to the Spin-Off, $497 million in 2011, and $486 million in 2010. The expense allocations for these benefits were determined based on a review of personnel by business unit and based on allocations of corporate or other shared functional personnel. These allocated costs are reflected in our cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. These costs were funded through intercompany transactions with Mondelēz International and were reflected within the parent company investment equity balance. Our allocated expenses in connection with the pension plans were $283 million in 2012, $261 million in 2011, and $248 million in 2010. Our allocated expenses in connection with the postretirement plans were $142 million in 2012, $160 million in 2011, and $166 million in 2010.

63

• Pension benefits – We provide pension coverage to certain U.S. and non-U.S. employees through separate plans. Local statutory requirements govern many of these plans. U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees hired prior to 2009 are eligible to participate in our U.S. pension plans. As of December 31, 2019, we will freeze U.S. pension plans for U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees who are currently earning pension benefits. We will calculate the pension benefits using the continuing pay and service through December 31, 2019. The pension benefits of our unionized workers are in accordance with the applicable collective bargaining agreement covering their employment.

• Postretirement benefits – Our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries provide health care and other postretirement benefits to most retirees. U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees hired prior to 2004 are eligible to participate in our U.S. postretirement benefit plans. The postretirement benefits of our unionized workers are in accordance with the applicable collective bargaining agreement covering their employment.

• Other postemployments benefits – Our other postemployment benefits consist primarily of severance. These

plans cover most salaried and certain hourly employees, and their cost is charged to expense over the working life of the covered employees.

Pension Plans

Obligations and Funded Status: The projected benefit obligations, plan assets, and funded status of our pension plans at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were:

The accumulated benefit obligation, which represents benefits earned to the measurement date, was $6,802 million at December 29, 2012 for the U.S. pension plans. The accumulated benefit obligation for the non-U.S. pension plans was $1,303 million at December 29, 2012 and $527 million at December 31, 2011.

The combined U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans resulted in a net pension liability of $1,999 million at December 29, 2012 and $103 million at December 31, 2011. We recognized these amounts in our consolidated balance sheets at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 as follows:

Certain of our U.S. and non-U.S. plans are underfunded and have accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets. For these plans, the projected benefit obligations, accumulated benefit obligations, and the fair value of plan assets at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were:

We used the following weighted-average assumptions to determine our benefit obligations under the pension plans at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Components of Net Pension Cost: Net pension cost consisted of the following for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010:

We determine the expected return on plan assets based on asset fair values as of the measurement date.

As of December 29, 2012, we expected to amortize an estimated $4 million of prior service cost from accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses) into net periodic pension cost for the combined U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans during 2013.

We used the following weighted-average assumptions to determine our net pension cost for the years ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Year-end discount rates for our U.S. and non-U.S. plans were developed from a model portfolio of high quality, fixed-income debt instruments with durations that match the expected future cash flows of the benefit obligations. We determine our expected rate of return on plan assets from the plan assets’ historical long-term investment performance, current and future asset allocation, and estimates of future long-term returns by asset class.

Plan Assets: The fair value of pension plan assets at December 29, 2012 was determined using the following fair value measurements:

We excluded plan assets of $66 million at December 29, 2012 from the above table related to certain insurance contracts as they are reported at contract value, in accordance with authoritative guidance.

The fair value of pension plan assets at December 31, 2011 was determined using the following fair value measurements:

Fair value measurements:

Changes in our Level 3 plan assets, which are recorded in operations, for the year ended December 29, 2012 included:

In connection with the Spin-Off, Mondelēz International transferred to us $3 million of corporate bonds and other fixed-income securities and $187 million of real estate which are classified as Level 3 pension assets.

Changes in our Level 3 plan assets, which are recorded in operations, for the year ended December 31, 2011 included:

67

• Level 1 – includes primarily non-U.S. equity securities and certain government bonds valued using quoted

prices in active markets.

• Level 2 – includes primarily pooled funds valued using net asset values of participation units held in common collective trusts, as reported by the managers of the trusts and as supported by the unit prices of actual purchase and sale transactions. Level 2 plan assets also include corporate bonds and other fixed-income securities, valued using independent observable market inputs, such as matrix pricing, yield curves, and indices.

• Level 3 – includes investments valued using unobservable inputs that reflect the plans’ assumptions that market

participants would use in pricing the assets, based on the best information available.

• Fair value estimates for pooled funds are calculated by the investment advisor when reliable quotations or

pricing services are not readily available for certain underlying securities. The estimated value is based on either cost, or last sale price for most of the securities valued in this fashion.

• Fair value estimates for limited partnership and private equity investments are calculated by the general partners using the market approach to estimate the fair value of private investments. The market approach utilizes prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions, type of security, degree of liquidity, restrictions on the disposition, latest round of financing data, company financial statements, relevant valuation multiples, and discounted cash flow analyses.

• Fair value estimates for real estate investments are calculated by the investment managers using the present value of future cash flows expected to be received from the investments, based on valuation methodologies such as appraisals, local market conditions, and current and projected operating performance.

• Fair value estimates for investments in hedge fund-of-funds are calculated by the investment managers

using the net asset value per share of the investment as reported by the money managers of the underlying funds.

• Fair value estimates for insurance contracts are calculated based on the future stream of benefit

payments discounted using prevailing interest rates based on the valuation date.

The percentage of fair value of pension plan assets at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was:

During 2013, we expect to begin a new liability-driven investment strategy. This strategy, which will be phased in over the next several years, better aligns our pension assets with the projected benefit obligation to reduce volatility by investing approximately 80% of our plan assets in fixed-income securities and approximately 20% in equity securities.

As of December 29, 2012, approximately 36% of our U.S. plan assets are in fixed-income securities and approximately 61% are in equity securities. The strategy uses actively managed and indexed U.S. investment grade fixed-income securities (which constitute 95% or more of fixed-income securities) with lesser allocations to high yield fixed-income securities, indexed U.S. equity securities, and actively managed and indexed international equity securities.

For the plans outside the U.S., the investment strategy is subject to local regulations and the asset / liability profiles of the plans in each individual country. In aggregate, the asset allocation targets of our non-U.S. plans are broadly characterized as a mix of 70% equity securities and 30% fixed-income securities. The other asset balance of our non-U.S. plans at December 29, 2012 primarily related to $7 million in cash accounts.

We attempt to maintain our target asset allocation by rebalancing between asset classes as we make contributions and monthly benefit payments.

Employer Contributions: In order to align cash flows with expenses and reduce volatility, we have executed a level funding strategy. For our U.S. qualified pension plans, in 2013, we are currently only required to make a nominal cash contribution under the Pension Protection Act of 2006. However, based our level funding strategy, we estimate that 2013 pension contributions will be approximately $420 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $205 million to our non-U.S. plans. We expect to contribute approximately $225 million annually in 2014 and thereafter. Of the total 2013 pension contributions, approximately $540 million is expected to be voluntary. Our actual contributions may be different due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates, or other factors. In 2012, we contributed $7 million to our U.S. pension plans and $35 million to our non-U.S. pension plans. We did not make any voluntary contributions to our pension plans in 2012. We make contributions to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, primarily, to the extent that they are tax deductible. In addition, employees contributed $3 million to our non-U.S. plans.

Future Benefit Payments: The estimated future benefit payments from our pension plans at December 29, 2012 were:

Other Costs: Subsequent to the Spin-Off, we made contributions to multiemployer pension plans of $1 million in 2012. These plans provide pension benefits to retirees under certain collective bargaining agreements. We also sponsor and contribute to employee savings plans. These plans cover eligible salaried, non-union, and union employees. Our contributions and costs are determined by the matching of employee contributions, as defined by the plans. Amounts charged to expense for defined contribution plans totaled $12 million in 2012 subsequent to the Spin-Off.

Postretirement Benefit Plans

Obligations: Our postretirement health care plans are not funded. The changes in and the amount of the accrued benefit obligation at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were:

The current portion of our accrued postretirement benefit obligation of $236 million at December 29, 2012 was included in accrued postretirement health care costs.

We used the following weighted-average assumptions to determine our postretirement benefit obligations at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Year-end discount rates for our U.S. and non-U.S. plans were developed from a model portfolio of high quality, fixed-income debt instruments with durations that match the expected future cash flows of the benefit obligations. Our expected health care cost trend rate is based on historical costs.

Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant impact on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects as of December 29, 2012:

As of December 29, 2012, we expected to amortize an estimated $26 million of prior service credit from accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses) into net postretirement health care costs during 2013.

We used the following weighted-average assumptions to determine our net postretirement cost for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010:

Future Benefit Payments: Our estimated future benefit payments for our postretirement health care plans at December 29, 2012 were:

Other Costs: We made contributions to multiemployer medical plans totaling $5 million in 2012. These plans provide medical benefits to active employees and retirees under certain collective bargaining agreements.

Other Postemployment Benefit Plans

Obligations: Our other postemployment plans are primarily not funded. The changes in and the amount of the accrued benefit obligation at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were:

In 2011, we recorded a Canadian postemployment plan, which was partially funded, with a net liability balance of approximately $16 million. The liability was recorded in other above. The accrued benefit obligation was determined using a weighted-average discount rate of 2.6% in 2012 and 3.4% in 2011, an assumed ultimate annual turnover rate of 0.5% in 2012 and 2011, a weighted-average assumed compensation cost increase of 3.5% in 2012 and 4.0% in 2011, and assumed benefits as defined in the respective plans.

Other postemployment costs arising from actions that offer employees benefits in excess of those specified in the respective plans are charged to expense when incurred.

The fair values of our derivative instruments at December 31, 2011 were determined using:

Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of commodity forwards and options; foreign exchange forwards, currency swaps, and options; and interest rate swaps. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models which rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices. Foreign currency contracts are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Our calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the observable market interest rate curve. Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.

Derivative Volume: The net notional values of our derivative instruments as of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were:

Cash Flow Hedges: Cash flow hedge activity, net of income taxes, within accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses) included:

The unrealized gains / (losses), net of income taxes, recognized in other comprehensive income / (loss) were:

In connection with the $6.0 billion of senior unsecured notes we issued on June 4, 2012, we entered into an interest rate swap. We recorded the loss related to that interest rate contract in accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses). We expect to transfer these losses into earnings over the life of the related debt.

While we cannot predict with certainty the results of our dispute with Starbucks or any other Legal Matters in which we are currently involved, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve any of these Legal Matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Third-Party Guarantees: We have third-party guarantees primarily covering certain long-term obligations of our vendors. As part of those transactions, we guarantee that third parties will make contractual payments or achieve performance measures. At December 29, 2012, the carrying amount of our third-party guarantees on our consolidated balance sheet and the maximum potential payment under these guarantees was $22 million. We have off-balance sheet guarantees primarily covering third-party contractual payments related to leased properties. At December 29, 2012, the maximum potential payments under these off-balance sheet guarantees was $42 million. Substantially all of these guarantees expire at various times through 2027.

As of December 29, 2012, Mondelēz International and three of its indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, including a subsidiary that became our indirect wholly owned subsidiary as a result of the Spin-Off, are joint and several guarantors of $1.0 billion of indebtedness issued by Cadbury Schweppes US Finance LLC and maturing on October 1, 2013. Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Mondelēz International and us, Mondelēz International has agreed to indemnify us in the event our subsidiary is called upon to satisfy its obligation under the guarantee. Accordingly, we have no obligation included on our balance sheets for this guarantee.

Leases: Rental expenses were $150 million in 2012, $169 million in 2011, and $168 million in 2010. As of December 29, 2012, minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases in effect at year-end were (in millions):

In 2010, we also recognized tax expense of $1.2 billion related to the earnings and gain from discontinued operations from the sale of the Frozen Pizza business.

Our unrecognized tax benefits of $258 million at December 29, 2012 are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities. If we had recognized all of these benefits, the net impact on our income tax provision would have been $173 million. The amount of net unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $10 million to $25 million during the next 12 months. We include accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in our tax provision. We accrued interest and penalties of $80 million as of January 1, 2012 and $67 million as of December 29, 2012. Our 2012 provision for income taxes included $18 million for interest and penalties and we paid interest and penalties of $4 million during 2012.

The changes in our unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010 were:

Our U.S. operations are included in Mondelēz International’s U.S. federal consolidated income tax returns for tax years through October 1, 2012. In July 2012, Mondelēz International reached a final resolution on a U.S. federal income tax audit of the 2004-2006 tax years and on a Canadian income tax audit of certain matters related to the 2003-2006 tax years. The U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for tax year 2007 and forward, and federal income tax returns for 2007-2009 are currently under examination. U.S. state and local and foreign jurisdictions have statutes of limitations generally ranging from three to five years unless we agree to an extension. In Canada, our only significant foreign jurisdiction, the earliest open tax year is 2005.

We have entered into a tax sharing agreement with Mondelēz International, which provides that for periods prior to October 1, 2012, Mondelēz International is liable for and has indemnified us against all U.S. federal income taxes and substantially all foreign income taxes, excluding Canadian income taxes; and that we are liable for and have indemnified Mondelēz International against U.S. state income taxes and Canadian federal and provincial income taxes. However, if we breach certain covenants or other obligations or are involved in certain change-in-control transactions, Mondelēz International may not be required to indemnify us for income taxes arising pursuant to the Spin-Off. Similarly, if Mondelēz International breaches certain covenants or other obligations or are involved in other change-in-control transactions, we may not be required to indemnify them for income taxes arising pursuant to the Spin-Off.

At December 29, 2012, applicable U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes had not been provided on approximately $24 million of unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested for continued use in foreign operations. We currently have outside tax basis in excess of book basis in certain foreign subsidiaries in which earnings are indefinitely reinvested. The tax consequences of repatriation of these earnings would be insignificant.

The effective income tax rate on pre-tax earnings differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the following reasons for the years ended December 29, 2012, December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010:

Our 2012 effective tax rate included net tax benefits of $33 million from discrete one-time events, primarily from various U.S. federal, foreign, and state tax audit developments during the year.

Our 2011 effective tax rate included net tax costs of $52 million, primarily due to various U.S. federal and state tax audit developments during the year as well as the revaluation of state deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from state tax legislation enacted in 2011.

Our 2010 effective tax rate included net tax costs of $32 million, primarily due to a $79 million write-off of deferred tax assets as a result of the U.S. health care legislation enacted in March 2010 partially offset by the federal and state impacts from the favorable resolution of a federal tax audit.

The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to deferred income tax assets and liabilities consisted of the following at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

On October 1, 2012, Mondelēz International transferred to us $2,623 million of net deferred tax assets and $2,458 million of deferred tax liabilities. At December 29, 2012, our deferred income tax liabilities of $2,381 million included a $418 million deferred tax liability related to the debt exchange in which $3.6 billion of Mondelēz International debt was exchanged for our debt.

Note 15. Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

We grant shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units that are considered to be participating securities. Due to the presence of participating securities, we have calculated our earnings per share using the two–class method.

On October 1, 2012, Mondelēz International distributed 592 million shares of Kraft Foods Group common stock to Mondelēz International’s shareholders. Holders of Mondelēz International common stock received one share of Kraft Foods Group common stock for every three shares of Mondelēz International common stock held on September 19, 2012. Basic and diluted earnings per common share and the average number of common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were retrospectively restated for the number of Kraft Foods Group shares outstanding immediately following this transaction. The same number of shares was used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 since no Kraft Foods Group equity awards were outstanding prior to the Spin-Off.

We exclude antidilutive Kraft Foods Group stock options from our calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS. Antidilutive options were insignificant for the year ended December 29, 2012.

Note 16. Segment Reporting

We manufacture and market food and beverage products, including refrigerated meals, refreshment beverages and coffee, cheese, and other grocery products, primarily in the United States and Canada. We manage and report operating results through five reportable segments. Our reportable segments are Beverages, Cheese, Refrigerated Meals, Grocery, and International & Foodservice.

Management uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales), certain components of our postemployment benefit plans (which is a component of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses), and general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) for all periods presented. We exclude the unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Once realized, the gains and losses on hedging activities are recorded within segment operating results. We exclude certain components of our postemployment benefit plans from segment operating income because we centrally manage postemployment benefit plan funding decisions and the determination of discount rate, expected rate of return on plan assets and other actuarial assumptions. We also manage market-based impacts to these benefit plans centrally. Therefore, we allocate only the service cost component of our pension plan expense to segment operating income. Furthermore, we centrally manage interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, we do not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews. We use the same accounting policies for the segments as those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Our segment results were:

Our largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for approximately 25% of consolidated net revenues in 2012, 24% in 2011 and 25% in 2010.

On March 1, 2011, Starbucks took control of the Starbucks CPG business in grocery stores and other channels. The results of the Starbucks CPG business were included primarily in our Beverages and International & Foodservice segments through March 1, 2011. See our discussion of legal proceedings within Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information.

In connection with our Restructuring Program, we accelerated the depreciation associated with certain equipment and facilities. We recorded this additional depreciation expense within cost of sales. We included this expense in asset impairment and exit costs in prior quarters. We have revised these previous periods to correct to our current presentation. The impact was insignificant. See Note 6, Restructuring Program, for more information.

Basic and diluted EPS are computed independently for each of the periods presented. Accordingly, the sum of the quarterly EPS amounts may not equal the total for the year.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our CEO and CFO, with other members of management, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 29, 2012.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act) is set forth below.

Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those written policies and procedures that:

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Exhibit 10.15

November 21, 2012

Timothy R. McLevish Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer Kraft Foods Group

Dear Tim,

We are pleased to provide you with this letter that is intended to outline the treatment of your compensation and benefits in the event of the termination of your employment with Kraft Foods Group, Inc. or a subsidiary of Kraft (collectively, “Kraft” or “Company”).

If your employment with Kraft is terminated due to mutual agreement, voluntary termination or involuntary termination without cause, you will receive the following treatment for outstanding cash and stock incentives, provided, however, that you agree to non-compete and non-solicitation obligations and that you sign a general release as described below:

• Prorated Annual Incentive – The Company will pay you an annual incentive under the Kraft Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) for the portion of the calendar year you were employed by Kraft, based on your individual target percentage and the actual annual business rating as determined by Kraft’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The payment, less any required deductions, would be made at the same time as the Company makes payments to active employees.

• Prorated Restricted Stock Awards – Except for your restricted stock unit award granted on November 16, 2012, the Company will vest your restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards based on the full years (twelve-month period) elapsed between the grant date and your termination date. Specifically, the number of shares that vest will be the number of shares granted times the number of full years elapsed between the grant date and your termination date divided by the total number of years of the vesting period.

• Off-Cycle Restricted Stock Unit Award Granted on November 16, 2012

• Voluntary termination – No shares will vest if you terminate prior to normal vesting schedule for a voluntary termination.

• Involuntary termination without cause / mutual agreement - If your termination is based on a mutual agreement or an involuntary termination, the Company will vest this award based on the full years (twelve-month period) elapsed between the grant date and your termination date. Specifically, the number of shares that vest will be number of full years elapsed between the grant date and your termination date divided by the total number of years of the vesting period.

• Prorated LTIP/Performance Share Awards – The Company will vest any Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) / performance share awards based on full years (twelve-month period) elapsed between the grant date and your termination date based on the actual rating for the particular performance cycle. Specifically, the number of shares that will vest will be the target number of shares multiplied by the rating approved by the Compensation Committee multiplied by the number of full years elapsed between the grant date and your termination date divided by the total number of years of the vesting period. Similar to the annual incentive, the actual awards will be paid and the shares will be delivered to you at the same time as active employees’ awards.

In exchange for the compensation treatment on MIP, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards and LTIP/performance shares described above in the event your employment is terminated by mutual agreement, voluntarily, or involuntarily without cause, at the time of your termination, you must sign an agreement which will contain the following provisions:

The favorable compensation treatment outlined above will not apply for termination for cause. For purposes of this letter, “cause” means: 1) continued failure to substantially perform the job’s duties (other than resulting from incapacity due to disability); 2) gross negligence, dishonesty, or violation of any reasonable policy, procedure, rule or regulation of the Company; or 3) engaging in conduct which materially adversely reflects on the Company.

However, notwithstanding the type of your termination, the Company will provide you with early retirement treatment for all outstanding stock option awards. Specifically, after your termination you will continue to vest per the schedule on your initial award statement in any unvested stock option awards except for the stock options granted in the year of your termination. Additionally, you will have the full term of awards to exercise your stock options.

• You will agree that for 24 months following your separation from employment, you will not: (a) directly or indirectly (whether as an employee, consultant, officer, director, partner, joint venturer, manager, member, principal, agent, independent contractor, individually, in concert with others, or in any other manner) provide services to any other company or entity whose businesses compete with any of the current Kraft businesses (“Competitive Business”) without the prior written consent of Kraft, provided, however, that it shall not be a violation for you to provide services to a business unit of a Competitive Business as long as that business unit is not a Competitive Business, or (b) provide advice to any entity that is involved in, or seeking to be involved in, a transaction regarding Kraft. The Competitive Businesses include Campbell Soup Company, The Coca-Cola Company, ConAgra Foods, Inc., General Mills Inc., Groupe Danone, H.J. Heinz Company, Hershey Company, Kellogg Company, Mars Inc., Mondelēz International, Inc., Nestlé S.A., PepsiCo Inc., Hillshire Brands Company, and Unilever Group and any subsidiaries, affiliates or successors of these companies or their businesses, including by reason of spin-offs, split-ups, mergers, acquisitions or divestitures.

• You will agree that for 24 months following your termination from Kraft, you will not directly or indirectly solicit or engage any

employee of Kraft to leave Kraft to accept work (whether as an employee, independent contractor or in any other status) for any other entity without obtaining the prior written consent of Kraft, nor will you provide a reference for any Kraft employee.

• You will agree following your termination, you will not communicate or disclose to any third party, or use for your own account or for the account of any third party, without the prior written consent of Kraft, any of the strategic, marketing, financial, product, manufacturing, technical and other proprietary information and material which are the property of Kraft, except as required by legal process or unless and until such information or material becomes generally available to the public. Nothing herein shall preclude you from using your general knowledge and expertise to fulfill job responsibilities with a new employer.

• You will agree that, in discussing your relationship with Kraft and its affiliated and former or current parent companies and their business and affairs, you will not disparage, discredit or otherwise treat in a detrimental manner Kraft, its affiliated companies or their officers, directors and employees, which includes casting in a negative light Kraft’s officers and directors or Kraft’s business, organization, strategies, plans, and future business outlook.

Exhibit 10.16

KRAFT FOODS GROUP, INC. 2012 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN

GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

KRAFT FOODS GROUP, INC., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the employee (the “Employee”) named in the Award Statement attached hereto (the “Award Statement”) as of the date set forth in the Award Statement (the “Award Date”) pursuant to the provisions of the Kraft Foods Group, Inc. 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) a Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) with respect to the number of shares (the “Restricted Shares”) of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) set forth in the Award Statement, upon and subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth below (including the country-specific terms set forth in the attached Appendix A), in the Award Statement and in the Plan. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

1. Restrictions. Subject to Section 2 below, the restrictions on the Restricted Shares shall lapse and the Restricted Shares shall vest on the Vesting Date shown in the Award Statement (the “Vesting Date”), provided that the Employee remains an active employee of the Kraft Foods Group (as defined below in Section 18) during the entire period commencing on the Award Date and ending on the Vesting Date.

2. Termination of Employment Before Vesting Date. In the event of the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Kraft Foods Group prior to the Vesting Date due to death or Disability (as defined below in Section 18) or upon the Employee’s Normal Retirement (as defined below in Section 18), the restrictions on the Restricted Shares shall lapse and the Restricted Shares shall become fully vested on the date of death, Disability, or Normal Retirement.

If the Employee’s employment with the Kraft Foods Group is terminated for any reason other than death, Disability, or Normal Retirement prior to the Vesting Date, including any termination of employment caused directly or indirectly by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate (even if such termination constitutes unfair dismissal under the employment laws of the country where the Employee resides or if the Employee’s termination is later determined to be invalid and his or her employment is reinstated), the Employee shall forfeit all rights to the Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the termination of an Employee’s employment with the Kraft Foods Group, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the restrictions on, and the vesting requirements for, the Restricted Shares.

For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee’s employment shall be deemed to be terminated (i) when he or she is no longer actively employed by the Kraft Foods Group (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Employee is employed or the terms of Employee’s employment agreement, if any), and (ii) when he or she is no longer actively employed by a corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, substituting a new right for these Restricted Shares (or assuming these Restricted Shares) in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, split-up reorganization or liquidation (the “Termination Date”). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee a leave of absence shall not constitute a termination of employment. The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed and the Termination Date for purposes of this Agreement.

3. Voting and Dividend Rights. The Employee does not have the right to vote the Restricted Shares or receive dividends prior to the date, if any, such Restricted Shares are paid to the Employee in the form of Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof. However, the Employee shall

receive cash payments (less applicable Tax-Related Items (as defined below) withholding) in lieu of dividends otherwise payable with respect to shares of Common Stock equal in number to the Restricted Shares that have not been forfeited. Such payments will be made (by regularly scheduled payroll or otherwise) as soon as practicable on or after the date on which such dividends are paid (and in no event later than 30 days after the date on which such dividends are paid).

4. Transfer Restrictions. This Award and the Restricted Shares are non-transferable and may not be assigned, hypothecated or otherwise pledged and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to effect any such disposition, or upon the levy of any such process, the Award shall immediately become null and void and the Restricted Shares shall be forfeited. These restrictions shall not apply, however, to any payments received pursuant to Section 7 below.

5. Withholding Taxes. The Employee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Employee’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Employee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Employee (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Employee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting or payment of the Award, the receipt of any dividends or cash payments in lieu of dividends, or the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Shares to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further if the Employee becomes subject to any Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for (including report) Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

The Company may refuse to issue or deliver shares of Common Stock upon vesting of the Restricted Shares if Employee fails to comply with his or her Tax-Related Items obligations or the Company has not received payment in a form acceptable to the Company for all applicable Tax-Related Items, as well as amounts due to the Company as “theoretical taxes”, if applicable, pursuant to the then-current international assignment and tax and/or social insurance equalization policies and procedures of the Kraft Foods Group, or arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment thereof have been made.

In this regard, the Employee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, in their sole discretion and without any notice or further authorization by the Employee, to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally due by the Employee and any theoretical taxes from the Employee’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon vesting of the Restricted Shares. Alternatively, or in addition, the Company may (i) deduct the number of Restricted Shares having an aggregate value equal to the amount of Tax-Related Items and any theoretical taxes due from the total number of Restricted Shares awarded, vested, paid or otherwise becoming subject to current taxation; (ii) instruct the broker whom it has selected for this purpose (on the Employee’s behalf and at the Employee’s direction pursuant to this authorization) to sell any shares of Common Stock that the Employee acquires upon vesting of the Restricted Shares to meet the Tax-Related Items withholding obligation and any theoretical taxes, except to the extent that such a sale would violate any U.S. Federal Securities law or other applicable law; and/or (iii) satisfy the Tax-Related Items and any theoretical taxes arising from the granting or vesting of this Award, as the case may be, through any other method established by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the

Employee may elect the form of withholding in advance of any Tax-Related Items or any theoretical taxes withholding event and in the absence of the Employee’s election, the Company will withhold in Restricted Shares upon the relevant withholding event or the Committee may determine that a particular method be used to satisfy any required withholding. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items and/or any theoretical taxes is satisfied by withholding in Restricted Shares, for tax purposes, the Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares underlying the Award, notwithstanding that a number of Restricted Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items and/or any theoretical taxes due as a result of any aspect of the Employee’s participation in the Plan.

To avoid any negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items or theoretical taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts (in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Plan) or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Restricted Shares, for tax purposes, the Employee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Award, notwithstanding that a number of Restricted Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Employee’s participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Employee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items and any theoretical taxes that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Employee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

6. Death of Employee. If any of the Restricted Shares shall vest upon the death of the Employee, any Common Stock received in payment of the vested Restricted Shares shall be registered in the name of and delivered to the estate of the Employee.

7. Payment of Restricted Shares. Each Restricted Share granted pursuant to this Award represents an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to issue to the Employee, on or as soon as practicable, but not later than 30 days, after the date the Restricted Share becomes fully vested pursuant to Section 1 or 2 and otherwise subject to the terms of this Agreement (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement), the value of one share of the Common Stock. Except as otherwise expressly provided and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Appendix A hereto), such issuance shall be made to the Employee (or, in the event of his or her death to the Employee’s estate or beneficiary as provided above) only in the form of shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable following the full vesting of the Restricted Share pursuant to Section 1 or 2.

8. Special Payment Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Employee (i) is subject to U.S. Federal income tax on any part of the payment of the Restricted Shares, (ii) is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and (iii) will become eligible for Normal Retirement (A) for Restricted Shares with a Vesting Date between January 1 and March 15, before the calendar year preceding the Vesting Date and (B) for Restricted Shares with a Vesting Date after March 15, before the calendar year in which such Vesting Date occurs, then any payment of Restricted Shares under Section 7 that is on account of his separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code shall be delayed until six months following such separation from service. In addition, if such an Employee is not vested in his Restricted Shares, and the Employee (i) becomes eligible for Normal Retirement while employed by a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company that would not be a “service recipient” with respect to the Award within the meaning of the regulations under Section 409A of the Code or (ii) becomes eligible for Normal Retirement and subsequently transfers to a subsidiary or affiliate of the Company that would not be a “service recipient” with respect to the Award within the meaning of the regulations under Section 409A of the Code, then the Employee’s Restricted Shares shall be paid to

the Employee at such time in accordance with Section 7 (based on the value of shares of Common Stock at the time of payment), subject to a six-month delay from the date treated as a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code.

9. Original Issue or Transfer Taxes. The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such delivery, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.

10. Agreement Subject to the Plan. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent or in conflict with any term or provision of the Plan, the Plan shall govern. The Employee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

11. Award Confers No Rights to Continued Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan shall give any employee the right to be retained in the employment of the Kraft Foods Group or affect the right of any such employer to terminate any employee.

12. Nature of Grant. In accepting the Restricted Shares, the Employee acknowledges, understands, and agrees that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(b) the award of Restricted Shares is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Awards of, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Shares, even if Restricted Shares have been awarded in the past;

(c) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee;

(d) the Employee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary;

(e) the Restricted Shares and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Shares are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(f) the Award of Restricted Shares and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Shares and the income and the value of the same are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, retirement or welfare benefits;

(g) the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(h) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Shares resulting from the termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Employee is employed or the terms of his or her employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the Award to which the Employee is otherwise not entitled, the Employee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or the Employer, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and the Employer from any such claim; if,

notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;

(i) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Employee’s participation in the Plan or Employee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock;

(j) the Employee is hereby advised to consult with the Employee’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Employee’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan;

(k) the award of Restricted Shares and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement, not otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or determined by the Company in its discretion, to have the Restricted Shares or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company, or to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Company’s Common Stock; and

(l) the following provisions apply only if the Employee is providing services outside the United States:

(A) the Restricted Shares and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Shares are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and

(B) neither the Company, the Employer nor any member of the Kraft Foods Group shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Employee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Shares or any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Employee upon vesting of the Restricted Shares or of any proceeds resulting from the Employee’s sale of such shares.

13. Data Privacy. The Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of his or her personal data as described in this Agreement (“Data”) by and among, as necessary and applicable, the Employer, the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Employee’s participation in the Plan.

The Employee understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to, the Employee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, and job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, and details of the Restricted Shares or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

Employees residing outside the U.S. should understand the following: Data will be transferred to UBS Financial Services (“UBS”), or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Employee understands that Data may also be transferred to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or such other public accounting firm that may be engaged by the Company in the future. The Employee

understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Employee’s country. The Employee understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, the Employee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Employee’s local human resources representative. The Employee authorizes the Company, UBS and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Employee’s participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, the Employee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Employee’s local human resources representative. Further, the Employee understands that the Employee is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Employee does not consent, or if the Employee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Employee’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Employee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Employee Restricted Shares or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Employee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Employee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Employee understands that he or she may contact the Employee’s local human resources representative.

14. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means or request the Employee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. The Employee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

15. Language. If the Employee has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different from the English version, the English version will control.

16. Interpretation. The Committee shall have the right to resolve all questions which may arise in connection with the Award, including whether the Employee is no longer actively employed. Any interpretation, determination or other action made or taken by the Committee regarding the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company and any person or persons who shall acquire any rights hereunder in accordance with this Agreement, the Award Statement or the Plan.

17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, U.S.A., without regard to choice of laws principles thereof. This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in a manner that avoids the imposition of taxes and other penalties under Section 409A of the Code, if applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall any member of the Kraft Foods Group be responsible for any taxes, penalties, interest or other losses or expenses incurred by the Employee due to any failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

18. Miscellaneous. In the event of any merger, share exchange, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, distribution, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock

split, split-up, spin-off, issuance of rights or warrants or other similar transaction or event affecting the Common Stock after the date of this Award, the Committee shall make adjustments to the number and kind of shares of Common Stock subject to this Award, including, but not limited to, the substitution of equity interests in other entities involved in such transactions, to provide for cash payments in lieu of Restricted Shares, and to determine whether continued employment with any entity resulting from such a transaction will or will not be treated as continued employment with any member of the Kraft Foods Group, in each case subject to any Committee action specifically addressing any such adjustments, cash payments, or continued employment treatment.

For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the term “Disability” means permanent and total disability as determined under procedures established by the Company for purposes of the Plan, and (b) the term “Normal Retirement” means retirement from active employment, in circumstances that constitute a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, under a pension plan of the Kraft Foods Group or under an employment contract with any member of the Kraft Foods Group, on or after the date specified as the normal retirement age in the pension plan or employment contract, if any, under which the Employee is at that time accruing pension benefits for his or her current service (or, in the absence of a specified normal retirement age, the age at which pension benefits under such plan or contract become payable without reduction for early commencement and without any requirement of a particular period of prior service). In any case in which (i) the meaning of “Normal Retirement” is uncertain under the definition contained in the prior sentence, an Employee’s termination shall be treated as Normal Retirement as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems equivalent to retirement. As used herein, “Kraft Foods Group” means Kraft Foods Group, Inc. and each of its subsidiaries and affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, (x) a “subsidiary” includes only any company in which the applicable entity, directly or indirectly, has a beneficial ownership interest of greater than 50 percent and (y) an “affiliate” includes only any company that (A) has a beneficial ownership interest, directly or indirectly, in the applicable entity of greater than 50 percent or (B) is under common control with the applicable entity through a parent company that, directly or indirectly, has a beneficial ownership interest of greater than 50 percent in both the applicable entity and the affiliate.

19. Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the shares of Common Stock, the Company shall not be required to deliver any shares issuable upon settlement of the Restricted Shares prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Employee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the shares of Common Stock with the Commission or any state, provincial or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the shares. Further, the Employee agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Agreement without the Employee’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of shares of Common Stock.

20. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

21. Headings. Headings of paragraphs and sections used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not part of this Agreement, and must not be used in construing it.

22. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Employee’s participation in the Plan, on the Restricted Shares and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with laws in the country where the Employee resides regarding the issuance of shares of Common Stock, or to facilitate the administration of the Plan, and to require the Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

The Appendix A constitutes part of this Agreement.

24. Waiver. The Employee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by the Employee or any other participant of the Plan.

APPENDIX A

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE

KRAFT FOODS GROUP, INC. 2012 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN

GLOBAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

TERMS AND CONDITIONS This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Restricted Shares granted to the Employee under the Plan if he or she resides in one of the countries listed below at the time of grant. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement.

NOTIFICATIONS This Appendix A also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Employee should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of June 2012. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Employee not rely on the information in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Restricted Shares vest or the Employee sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Employee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Employee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Employee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to the Employee’s situation.

***

Finally, if the Employee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, transfers employment after the Restricted Shares are granted or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Employee, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to the Employee.

CANADA TERMS AND CONDITIONS Form of Settlement. Restricted Shares granted to employees resident in Canada shall be paid in shares of Common Stock only.

Termination of Employment Before Vesting Date. This provision supplements Section 2 of the Agreement:

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Employee shall not be considered actively employed during any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under any applicable law,

Data Privacy Notice and Consent. This provision supplements Section 13 of the Agreement:

The Employee hereby authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan.

NOTIFICATIONS Securities Law Information. Upon issuance of the shares of Common Stock subject to the vested Restricted Shares, the Employee is permitted to sell shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan through the designated broker appointed under the Plan, if any, provided that the sale of shares of Common Stock takes place outside of Canada through the facilities of a stock exchange on which the shares are listed (i.e., the NASDAQ Global Select Market).

UNITED STATES NOTIFICATIONS Exchange Control Information. United States persons who have signature or other authority over, or a financial interest in, bank, securities or other financial accounts outside of the United States (including a non-U.S. brokerage account holding the shares of Common Stock or proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock) must file a Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts Report (“FBAR”) with the United States Internal Revenue Service each calendar year in which the aggregate value of the accounts exceeds $10,000.

Exhibit 10.17

KRAFT FOODS GROUP, INC. 2012 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN

GLOBAL STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT

KRAFT FOODS GROUP, INC., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to the employee identified in the Award Statement (the “Optionee” identified in the “Award Statement”) attached hereto under the Kraft Foods Group, Inc. 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) a non-qualified stock option (the “Option”). The Option entitles the Optionee to exercise up to the aggregate number of shares set forth in the Award Statement (the “Option Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, at the Grant Price per share set forth in the Award Statement (the “Grant Price”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Global Stock Option Award Agreement, including any country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A hereto (the “Agreement”), shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. The Option is subject to the following terms and conditions (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to the Agreement):

1. Vesting. Prior to the satisfaction of the Vesting Requirements set forth in the Schedule in the Award Statement (the “Schedule”), the Option Shares may not be exercised except as provided in paragraph 2 below.

2. Vesting Upon Termination of Employment. In the event of the termination of the Optionee’s employment with the Kraft Foods Group (as defined below in paragraph 13) prior to satisfaction of the Vesting Requirements other than by reason of Early Retirement (as defined below in paragraph 13) occurring after December 31 of the same year as the date of grant of the Option, Normal Retirement (as defined below in paragraph 13), death or Disability (as defined below in paragraph 13), or as otherwise determined by (or pursuant to authority granted by) the Committee administering the Plan, this Option shall not be exercisable with respect to any of the Option Shares set forth in the Award Statement. If death or Disability of the Optionee occurs prior to satisfaction of the Vesting Requirements, this Option shall become immediately exercisable for 100% of the Option Shares set forth in the Award Statement. If the Optionee’s employment with the Kraft Foods Group is terminated by reason of Normal Retirement, or by Early Retirement occurring after December 31 of the same year as the date of grant of the Option, the Option Shares shall continue to become exercisable as set forth on the Schedule as if such Optionee’s employment had not terminated.

3. Exercisability Upon Termination of Employment. During the period commencing on the first date that the Vesting Requirements are satisfied (or, such earlier date determined in accordance with paragraph 2) until and including the Expiration Date set forth in the Schedule, this Option may be exercised in whole or in part with respect to such Option Shares, subject to the following provisions:

(a) In the event that the Optionee’s employment is terminated by reason of Early Retirement occurring after December 31 of the same year as the date of grant of the Option, Normal Retirement, death or Disability, such Option Shares may be exercised on or prior to the Expiration Date;

(b) If employment is terminated by the Optionee (other than by Early Retirement occurring after December 31 of the same year as the date of grant of the Option, death, Disability or Normal Retirement), such Option Shares may be exercised for a period of 30 days from the effective date of termination;

(c) If, other than by death, Disability, Normal Retirement, or Early Retirement occurring after December 31 of the same year as the date of grant of the Option, the Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Company, a subsidiary or affiliate without cause for any reason (even if such termination constitutes

unfair dismissal under the employment laws of the country where the Optionee resides or if the Optionee’s termination is later determined to be invalid and his or her employment is reinstated) or in the event of any other termination of employment caused directly or indirectly by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate, such Option Shares may be exercised for a period of 12 months following such termination; provided, however, if the Optionee shall die within such 12-month period, such Option Shares may be exercised for a period of 12 months from the date of death of the Optionee; and

(d) If the Optionee’s employment is involuntarily suspended or terminated for Cause, no Option Shares may be exercised during the period of suspension, or following such termination of employment.

No provision of this paragraph 3 shall permit the exercise of any Option Shares after the Expiration Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the Optionee’s employment shall be deemed to be terminated (i) when he or she is no longer actively employed by the Kraft Foods Group (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any), and (ii) when he or she is no longer actively employed by a corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, substituting a new option for this Option (or assuming this Option) in connection with a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, split-up, reorganization, liquidation or similar transaction. The Optionee shall not be considered actively employed during any notice period or period of pay in lieu of notice required under any applicable law or during any other period for which he or she is receiving, or is eligible to receive, salary continuation, notice period or garden leave payments, or other benefits under the Kraft Foods Group, Inc. Severance Pay Plan, or any similar plan maintained by the Kraft Foods Group or through other such arrangements that may be entered into that give rise to separation or notice pay, except in any case in which the Optionee is eligible for Normal Retirement or Early Retirement upon the expiration of salary continuation or other benefits. The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Optionee is no longer actively employed for purposes of the Option. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, leaves of absence shall not constitute a termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions and unless otherwise determined by the Company, this Option may only be exercised on a day that the NASDAQ Global Select Market (the “Exchange”) is open. Accordingly, if the Expiration Date is a day the Exchange is closed, the Expiration Date shall be the immediately preceding day on which the Exchange is open.

4. Exercise of Option and Withholding Taxes. This Option may be exercised only in accordance with the procedures and limitations (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to the Agreement) set forth in the Company’s Equity Awards Plan Guide, as amended from time to time (the “Methods of Exercise”).

The Optionee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Optionee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Optionee (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Option Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further if the Optionee becomes subject to any Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the

date of any relevant taxable event (including jurisdictions outside the United States), the Optionee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for (including report) Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not be required to deliver the Option Shares being exercised upon any exercise of this Option unless it has received payment in a form acceptable to the Company for all applicable Tax-Related Items, as well as amounts due to the Company as “theoretical taxes” pursuant to the then-current international assignment and tax and/or social insurance equalization policies and procedures of the Kraft Foods Group, or arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment thereof have been made.

In this regard, the Optionee authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, in their sole discretion and without any notice or further authorization by the Optionee, to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally due by the Optionee and any theoretical taxes from the Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid by the Company and/or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of Option Shares acquired at exercise either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Optionee’s behalf and at the Optionee’s direction pursuant to this authorization) without further consent. In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Tax-Related Items or theoretical taxes may be paid with outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, such shares to be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date, or by the Company withholding from Option Shares subject to the exercised Option, provided, however, that withholding in Option Shares shall be subject to approval by the Committee to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by counsel to the Company at the time of any relevant tax withholding event. Finally, the Optionee agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items and theoretical taxes that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Optionee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

To avoid any negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items or theoretical taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items and/or theoretical taxes is satisfied by withholding in Option Shares, for tax purposes, the Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of Option Shares subject to the exercised Option, notwithstanding that a number of the Option Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

5. Cash-Out of Option. The Committee may elect to cash out all or a portion of the Option Shares to be exercised pursuant to any Method of Exercise by paying the Optionee an amount in cash or Common Stock, or both, equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares on the exercise date less the Grant Price for such shares.

6. Transfer Restrictions. Unless otherwise required by law, this Option is not transferable or assignable by the Optionee in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and is exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

7. Adjustments. In the event of any merger, share exchange, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, distribution, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, spin-off, issuance of rights or warrants or other similar transaction or event affecting the Common Stock after the date of this Award, the Committee shall make adjustments to the terms and provisions of this Award (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, terms and provisions relating to the Grant Price and the number and kind of shares subject to this Option) as it deems appropriate, including,

but not limited to, the substitution of equity interests in other entities involved in such transactions, to provide for cash payments in lieu of the Option, and to determine whether continued employment with any entity resulting from such transaction or event will or will not be treated as a continued employment with the Kraft Foods Group, in each case, subject to any Committee action specifically addressing any such adjustments, cash payments or continued employment treatment.

8. Successors.

9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, U.S.A., without regard to choice of laws principles thereof.

10. Award Confers No Rights to Continued Employment - Nature of the Grant. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement (including the country-specific terms set forth in Appendix A to the Agreement) shall give any employee the right to be retained in the employment of any member of the Kraft Foods Group or affect the right of any such employer to terminate any employee. The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not constitute an inducement to, or condition of, the employment of any employee. Further, the Optionee acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(b) the grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted in the past;

(c) all decisions with respect to future option or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee;

(d) the Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(e) the Option and the Option Shares subject to the Option are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(f) the Option and the Option Shares subject to the Option and the income and the value of same are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension, retirement or welfare benefits;

(g) the future value of the underlying Option Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(h) if the underlying shares of Common Stock do not increase in value, the Option will have no value;

(i) if the Optionee exercises the Option and obtains shares of Common Stock, the value of those shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Grant Price;

(j) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from the termination of the Optionee’s employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of any employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Optionee is employed or the terms of the Optionee’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which the Optionee is otherwise not entitled, the Optionee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or the Employer, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Kraft Foods Group and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;

(k) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Option or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Common Stock of the Company;

(l) the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan, or the Optionee’s acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock;

(m) the Optionee is hereby advised to consult with the Optionee’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Optionee’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan;

(n) the Option is designated as not constituting an Incentive Stock Option; this Agreement shall be interpreted and treated consistently with such designation; and

(o) the following provisions apply only if the Optionee is providing services outside the United States:

(i) the Option and the Option Shares subject to the Option are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and

(ii) The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company, the Employer nor any member of the Kraft Foods Group shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Optionee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option or of any proceeds resulting from the Optionee’s sale of such shares.

11. Data Privacy. The Optionee explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Optionee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Option grant materials (such information collectively referred to herein as “Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Employer and the Kraft Foods Group for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan.

The Optionee understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about the Optionee, including, but not limited to, the Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Optionee’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan .

The Optionee understands that Data will be transferred to UBS Financial Services (“UBS”), or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Optionee understands that Data may also be transferred to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or such other public accounting firm that may be engaged by the Company in the future. The Optionee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Optionee’s country. The Optionee understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, the Optionee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Optionee’s local human resources representative. The Optionee authorizes the Company, UBS and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Optionee’s participation in the Plan. The Optionee understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, the Optionee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing the Optionee’s local human resources representative. Further, the Optionee understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Optionee does not consent, or if the Optionee later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Optionee’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Optionee an Option or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Optionee understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Optionee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Optionee understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

12. Interpretation. The terms and provisions of the Plan (a copy of which will be furnished to the Optionee upon written request to the Office of the Corporate Secretary, Kraft Foods Group, Inc., Three Lakes Drive, Northfield, Illinois, U.S.A. 60093) are incorporated herein by reference. To the extent any provision in this Agreement is inconsistent or in conflict with any term or provision of the Plan, the Plan shall govern. The Committee shall have the right to resolve all questions which may arise in connection with the Award or this Agreement, including whether an Optionee is no longer actively employed and any interpretation, determination or other action made or taken by the Committee regarding the Plan or this Agreement shall be final, binding and conclusive.

13. Miscellaneous Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” means permanent and total disability as determined under the procedures established by the Company for purposes of the Plan and the term “Normal Retirement” means retirement from active employment under a pension plan of the Kraft Foods Group, or under an employment contract with any member of the Kraft

GLOBAL STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT

TERMS AND CONDITIONS This Appendix A includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option granted to the Optionee under the Plan if he or she resides in one of the countries listed below at the time of grant. Certain capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A have the meanings set forth in the Plan and/or the Agreement.

NOTIFICATIONS This Appendix A also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Optionee should be aware with respect to participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control, and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of June 2012. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that the Optionee not rely on the information in this Appendix A as the only source of information relating to the consequences of his or her participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Optionee exercises the Option or sells shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information contained herein is general in nature and may not apply to the Optionee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Optionee of a particular result. Accordingly, the Optionee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to the Optionee’s situation.

***

Finally, if the Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, transfers employment after the Option is granted or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to the Optionee, and the Company shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall apply to the Optionee.

CANADA TERMS AND CONDITIONS Form of Payment. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, the Optionee is prohibited from surrendering shares of Common Stock that he or she already owns or attesting to the ownership of shares of Common Stock to pay the Grant Price or any Tax-Related Items in connection with the Option.

Form of Settlement. Options granted to employees resident in Canada shall be paid in shares of Common Stock only.

LETTER ON CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

March 21, 2013

Board of Directors Kraft Foods Group, Inc. Three Lakes Road Northfield, IL 60093-2753

Dear Directors:

We are providing this letter to you for inclusion as an exhibit to your Form 10-K filing pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K.

We have audited the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012 and issued our report thereon dated March 21, 2013. As discussed further in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for postemployment benefit costs. It should be understood that the preferability of one acceptable method of accounting over another for postemployment benefit costs has not been addressed in any authoritative accounting literature, and in expressing our concurrence below we have relied on management’s determination that this change in accounting principle is preferable. Based on our reading of management’s stated reasons and justification for this change in accounting principle in the Form 10-K, and our discussions with management as to their judgment about the relevant business planning factors relating to the change, we concur with management that such change represents, in the Company’s circumstances, the adoption of a preferable accounting principle in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.

Very truly yours,
