Item 8.01. Other Events.
On April 1, 2015, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) filed a formal complaint against Mondelēz International, Inc. (“Mondelēz International”) and the registrant related to activities involving the trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts. As previously disclosed, these activities arose prior to our October 1, 2012 spin-off from Mondelēz International and involve the business now owned and operated by Mondelēz International or its affiliates.
Our Separation and Distribution Agreement with Mondelēz International dated as of September 27, 2012 governs the allocation of liabilities between Mondelēz International and us and, accordingly, Mondelēz International will predominantly bear the costs of this matter and any monetary penalties or other payments that the CFTC may impose. We do not expect this matter to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or business, including our proposed merger with H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation.

Words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” or the negative of such terms or other variations thereof and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions, or events identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future financial condition, results of operations and business, including our proposed merger. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in this report. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this report, except as required by applicable law or regulation.
