12-10-07 Shares of Cadbury Schweppes (NYSE: CSG) are slightly higher today after the company confirmed that Nelson Peltz' Trian raised their stake in the company from 3.47% to approximately 4.5%. Cadbury Schweppes said it is their understanding that the instrument through which the increased interest is held is not reportable and it has not received formal notification of the increase in writing. Because Peltz owns less than 5% of the shares, a 13D is not required to be filed with US regulators related to the ADR. Following Peltz' involvement in the stock back in March, Cadbury Schweppes announced plans to separate its confectionery and Americas Beverages businesses. After trying to unsuccessfully sell the Americas Beverages unit, due to the credit market freeze-up, Cadbury Schweppes is now spinning-off the business.

In December 2005 he issued an analysis, or "white paper," demanding that Wendy's spin off 100 percent of its highly profitable Tim Hortons, the Dunkin' Donuts of Canada. He charged that Wendy's company-owned stores were generating margins of just 9 percent, less than half the 20 percent posted by its franchisees. Peltz maintained that if the company-owned stores achieved the 20 percent benchmark, Wendy's would raise earnings by $200 million.

Peltz owns stake as a result of his stake in Wendy's. Peltz pressed for the plan to spin-off THI which worked out very nicely for all shareholders.
