1.07 Effective January 4, 1993, Nabisco Brands Ltd. transferred the “ready to eat” cereal business to 2875560 Canada Limited and control of 2875560 was sold to Kraft General Foods of Canada Inc.

Assets and liabilities in respect of these Members were transferred from the Plan to a registered pension plan sponsored by Kraft General Foods of Canada Inc.

 

1.08 Effective January 1, 1996, Nabisco Brands Ltd. changed its name to Nabisco Ltd.

 

1.09 Effective December 31, 2001, Nabisco Ltd. amalgamated into Kraft Canada Inc. Kraft Canada Inc. assumed sponsorship of the Plan and the name of the Plan was changed to the Kraft Canada Inc. Trusteed Retirement Plan B.

1.11 The Company amended the Plan effective January 30, 2009 to provide enhanced benefits to members affected by the closure of the Direct Store Delivery warehouses located in Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto.

 

1.12 The Company closed eligibility for membership under the DB Provisions of the Plan for all eligible Non-Union Employees hired after December 31, 2010 and new DC Provisions were added for all eligible Non-Union Employees hired on and after January 1, 2011.

 

1.13 Effective from and as of the effective time of the Canadian Asset Transfer Agreement dated September 29, 2012, Kraft Canada Inc. sold the snack business to Mondelez Canada Inc. As a result, the sponsorship and administration of the Plan was transferred to Mondelez Canada Inc. effective from and as of the effective time of such agreement on September 29, 2012 and the name of the Plan was changed to the Mondelez Canada Inc. Trusteed Retirement Plan B.

 

1.14 Effective December 31, 2013, Plan A is to be merged into the Plan and the Plan is renamed the Mondelez Canada Inc. Trusteed Hourly Retirement Plan.
