Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) Registration No. 33-55767 OFFERING CIRCULAR/PROSPECTUS Exchange Offer for All Outstanding Shares of Common Stock (Including the Associated Preferred Stock Purchase Rights) of Borden, Inc. By Exchanging for Each Such Share A Number of Shares of Common Stock of RJR Nabisco Holdings Corp. Based on the Exchange Ratio Described Below by Borden Acquisition Corp. a corporation formed at the direction of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. ------------------- THIS EXCHANGE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1994, UNLESS THE EXCHANGE OFFER IS EXTENDED. ------------------- Borden Acquisition Corp., a New Jersey corporation (the "Purchaser"), a subsidiary of Whitehall Associates, L.P. (the "Partnership"), an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., L.P. ("KKR"), hereby offers, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the related Letter of Transmittal (collectively, the "Exchange Offer"), to exchange shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Holdings Common Stock"), of RJR Nabisco Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Holdings"), owned by the Purchaser or its affiliates for all outstanding shares (the "Borden Shares") of common stock, par value $.625 per share (collectively, the "Borden Common Stock"), and the associated Preferred Stock Purchase Rights (the "Rights"), of Borden, Inc., a New Jersey corporation ("Borden"), not already owned by the Purchaser or its affiliates. Each Borden Share accepted by the Purchaser in accordance with the Exchange Offer shall be exchanged for that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Holdings Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio. The term "Exchange Ratio" means the quotient (rounded to the nearest 1/100,000) obtained by dividing (i) $14.25 by (ii) the average of the average of the high and low sales prices of the Holdings Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") Composite Tape on each of the ten full consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the ten business day period ending on the date of expiration of the Exchange Offer, including any extension thereof (the "Valuation Period"), provided that the Exchange Ratio shall not be less than 1.78125 or greater than 2.375. In addition to the shares of Holdings Common Stock to be exchanged in the Exchange Offer for shares of Borden Common Stock, this Offering Circular/Prospectus also relates to up to 200,000 shares of Holdings Common Stock that may be sold by the Exchange Agent in respect of aggregated fractional shares that otherwise would be received by Borden shareholders in the Exchange Offer. See "The Exchange Offer-- Terms of the Exchange Offer; Expiration Date." All of the shares of Holdings Common Stock offered hereby are currently owned by the Purchaser and its affiliates. As a result of such ownership, prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Partnership may be deemed to control Holdings for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Exchange Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, there being validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer a number of Borden Shares which, when added to any Borden Shares previously acquired by the Partnership or the Purchaser (other than any of the 28,138,000 shares of Borden Common Stock subject to the Option (as hereinafter defined)), represents more than 41% of the Borden Shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis (other than dilution due to the Rights) (the "Minimum Condition"). The Exchange Offer is also subject to other terms and conditions, which Borden shareholders should carefully consider. As of the date hereof, except for shares of Borden Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the Option, the Partnership and the Purchaser do not beneficially own any Borden Shares. See "The Exchange Offer--Certain Conditions of the Exchange Offer" and "Description of Merger Agreement and Conditional Purchase/Option Agreement." The Board of Directors of Borden, with seven members voting in favor and one member (Borden's chief executive officer) abstaining, has, among other things, (1) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Conditional Purchase/Option Agreement (each as hereinafter defined) and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Exchange Offer and the merger of the Purchaser with Borden (such merger is hereinafter called the "Merger" and, collectively with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Conditional Purchase/Option Agreement, the "Transactions"), taken together, are fair to the shareholders of Borden, and resolved to recommend that holders of Borden Shares Copyright © 2012 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document accept the Exchange Offer, tender their Borden Shares to the Purchaser in the Exchange Offer and, if required by applicable law, approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, and (2) approved the Merger Agreement, the Conditional Purchase/Option Agreement and the Transactions. See "The Exchange Offer--Borden Background and Reasons for the Proposed Transactions." The reported last sale price of the Holdings Common Stock on November 21, 1994 on the NYSE Composite Tape was $6 1/2 per share. The reported last sale price of the Borden Common Stock on November 21, 1994 on the NYSE Composite Tape was $13 3/4 per share. On September 9, 1994, the last full trading day prior to the public announcement of the execution of the letter of intent with respect to the Transactions (as defined herein), the closing sale price, as reported on the NYSE Composite Tape, was $7 for the Holdings Common Stock and $11 7/8 for the Borden Common Stock. Borden shareholders should obtain a current quote for the Holdings Common Stock and the Borden Common Stock. (continued on next page) ------------------- SEE "SIGNIFICANT CONSIDERATIONS" FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FACTORS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BY HOLDERS OF BORDEN SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR CONSIDERATION OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER. ------------------- THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR/PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. ------------------- The Dealer Manager for the Exchange Offer is: MORGAN STANLEY & CO. Incorporated November 22, 1994 (continued from prior page) The Purchaser, the Partnership and Borden have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 23, 1994, as amended as of November 15, 1994 (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, following the consummation of the Exchange Offer, subject to certain conditions, the Purchaser will be merged with Borden in the Merger. If, following the Exchange Offer and exercise of the Option, the Purchaser and its affiliates own more than 90% of the outstanding Borden Shares, the Purchaser will take all necessary or appropriate action, without further action by the Board of Directors or shareholders of Borden, to merge the Purchaser with Borden as soon as practicable. If, following the Exchange Offer and exercise of the Option, approval of Borden's shareholders is required by applicable law in order to consummate the Merger, provided that the Minimum Condition is satisfied without being reduced or waived, Borden will submit the Merger to Borden's shareholders for approval. If the Merger is submitted to Borden's shareholders for approval, the Merger will require the approval of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the outstanding Borden Shares, including the Borden Shares owned by the Purchaser and its affiliates. In the event the Merger is consummated, holders of Borden Shares will receive the same number of shares of Holdings Common Stock for each Borden Share as are exchanged for each Borden Share in the Exchange Offer. This Offering Circular/Prospectus, as amended or supplemented from time to time, also relates to shares of Holdings Common Stock that may be issued in connection with the consummation of the Merger, unless the Merger is submitted to Borden's shareholders for approval, in which case the Purchaser will solicit proxies from Borden shareholders pursuant to separate proxy materials in compliance with Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). This Offering Circular/Prospectus does not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization for or with respect to any special meeting or other meeting of Borden shareholders who do not tender their Borden Shares or any action in lieu thereof. Any such solicitation will be made only pursuant to separate proxy materials in compliance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act. Pursuant to a Conditional Purchase/Stock Option Agreement dated as of September 23, 1994 (the "Conditional Purchase/Option Agreement"), Borden has granted to the Purchaser (or its designee, which designee shall be the Partnership or a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Partnership and which may, in any such case, act for itself and/or as agent for the Partnership or KKR Partners II, L.P.

    CHOCOLATE CONFECTIONERY IN DENMARK 07 Feb 2014 HEADLINES In 2013 chocolate confectionery grows by 1% in current value terms to reach sales of DKK3.2 billion Both small and big players target the premiumisation trend Twist wrapped miniatures the best performer in 2013 with current value growth of 5% Unit prices rise only moderately in 2013 Toms Gruppen A/S remains the clear leader in chocolate confectionery with a value share of 32% Chocolate confectionery anticipated a constant value CAGR decline of 1% over the forecast period COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE Toms Gruppen A/S remained the clear leader in chocolate confectionery in Denmark in 2013 with a value share of 32%. Toms Gruppen is a well-established domestic player which owns a wide selection of traditional and well-known brands, such as Anthon Berg, Guld Barre and Yankie. These brands have been present in the Danish market for decades and together offer a wide selection of products in all categories of chocolate confectionery. Toms Gruppen’s main focus in chocolate confectionery is on the standard mid- priced segment, but the company has announced its intention to increasingly focus on the more dynamic premium segment. It remains to be seen if this strategy will be successful. The fate of Toms’/Anthon Berg’s super-premium product range A Xoco, which closed three shops in 2013, shows that it is not always easy for an established mid-priced player to be accepted as premium by consumers. Ranked second and third in chocolate confectionery in 2013 were Kraft Foods Danmark A/S and Mars Danmark A/S.

  • American Activist Is Looking for an Executive Turnaround Manager for Greece
    STOCK EXCHANGE American activist is looking for an executive turnaround manager for Greece Jeroen Molenaar Thursday, January 14, 2016, 4.10pm Headline: ‘Activist is looking for a savior for Greece’ Paul Kazarian, the activist investor who has bought up billions in Greek debt via his firm Japonica Partners, is currently looking for an “executive turnaround manager” to pull the ailing South European country out of the abyss. He even bought a full page in the Financial Times for that purpose. The qualifications for the job as the Greek executive turnaround manager should not be underestimated. The job requires at least ten years of turnaround related experience with “impeccable professional integrity”, “unparalleled knowledge of Greek and other EU government financial numbers”, and “fluent in international accountant standards”. Furthermore, the executive turnaround manager must also have “the trust and confidence” of sovereign wealth fund executives, and must have managed over 5,000 employees. Please send CVs to [email protected] 'Pro Bono' At first sight, the advertisement covering the entire fifth page of the Thursday edition of the British Financial Times comes across as a bit weird. Who would be willing to pay almost £148,000 (around €195,000) for a recruitment advertisement? Who would fork out so much money to promote such a job that is also 'pro bono'; in other words: voluntary and unpaid? The answer is simple: Paul Kazarian. Page 1 of 3 'Corporate Raider' For twenty years, it has been quiet regarding this former Goldman Sachs banker and activist investor. During the 1980s and 1990s, Kazarian, who is of Armenian descent, made his mark as a “corporate raider”.

  • Marabou Firar 100 År
    Kontakt: Niklas Larsson +46 70 752 71 93 [email protected] För fler bilder och information: [email protected] Marabou firar 100 år STOCKHOLM, Sverige – 25 januari 2016 I år fyller Sveriges största chokladtillverkare Marabou 100 år. Det som började som ett familjeföretag i Sundbyberg 1916 har idag vuxit till ett av Sveriges mest kända och älskade varumärken. Den klassiska ”Marabousmaken” har blivit ett signum och genom åren har Marabou skapat ikoniska produkter som Japp, Daim och Twist. Marabou har också spelat en viktig roll för svensk industri och näringsforskning. Idag har Marabou en självklar plats i de chokladälskande svenskarnas hjärtan och många av de klassiska produkterna från tidigt 1900-tal är än idag storsäljare. År 1916 såddes det första fröet till framgångssagan Marabou då den norske handelsmannen Johan Throne Holst, som redan byggt upp chokladgiganten Freia i grannlandet, grundade Maraboufabriken i Sundbyberg utanför Stockholm. Sonen Henning axlade tidigt rollen som Marabous VD och etablerade den filosofi som fortfarande sitter i fabrikens väggar – en strävan efter att vara ”folkets chokladfabrik”. Genom åren har Marabou skapat flera ikoniska produkter – från kakaopulvret Ergo Cacao, som var en av de allra första produkterna, till 30-talets storsäljare Schweizernöt, 40- och 50- talets populära chokladbitar Japp och Daim och 60-talets Twistpåse. Den unika ”Marabousmaken”, med en väl avvägd balans av kolaarom och sötma, lanserades redan på 50-talet efter en lång tid av experimenterande. Men Marabou har gjort mer än att bara skriva chokladhistoria. Företaget var exempelvis en av de första att tidigt engagera sig i personalvårdsfrågor, vilket också gjorde att man lät bygga Marabouparken som en oas för de anställda intill fabriken i Sundbyberg.

  • Where to Stack the Chocolate?
    Where to Stack the Chocolate? Mapping and Optimisation of the Storage Locations with Associated Transportation Cost at Marabou Saga Almqvist & Lana Nore Saga Almqvist & Lana Nore Spring semester 2017 Master thesis, 30 credits Master of Science in Industrial Engineering and Management, 300 credits Acknowledgements This report contains our master thesis, the final work for our Master in Industrial Engineering and Management at Umeå University. The master thesis describes the result from our research on optimisation and logistics, which was carried out at Marabou a subsidiary of Mondelez̄ International. These 20 weeks have been challenging, both on personal level and in terms of planning and logistics. The greatest task was to integrate our knowledge from our theoretical studies to a real practical problem. We learned a lot working on this report, and will surely benefit from the experience in our future careers and studies. We would like to express our absolute gratitude to our supervisor, Associate Professor Victor Falgas Ravry from Umeå University, for the time and support he has provided us during our thesis project. His kind words, encouragement and knowledge supported our work throughout our project. Thank you so much for your valuable insights, continuous feedback and sharp criticism, without which this project would not have been possible. We also want to express our appreciation to our professional supervisors; Mikael Jangedal and Patrik Aviander, for letting us write our master thesis project at Marabou, Mondelez̄ International. Their patience, helpfulness and support during our time at the company have meant a lot to us. Working and studying at Marabou has given us an invaluable industry experience, which we will take with us in the next step of our career development.
