PART I



|Item 1. | Business
|------- | --------

General

The Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company (the Company or Wrigley) is a Delaware corporation. From 1891 to 1903, the Company was operated as a
partnership until its incorporation in Illinois as Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. in December 1903. In November 1910, the Company was reincorporated under West Virginia law as Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, and in October 1927, was reincorporated under the same name
under Delaware law. Wrigley is a recognized leader in the confectionery field and the worlds largest manufacturer and marketer of chewing gum.

Wrigley products are sold in over 180 countries and, in the over 110 years since Wrigley
introduced its first two products, Juicy Fruit® and Wrigleys Spearmint®, its portfolio of products has grown to include
many innovative brands that provide consumers with a variety of benefits, including breath freshening and tooth whitening. The Companys principal business remains manufacturing and marketing chewing gum and other confectionery products
worldwide. All other businesses constitute less than 10% of its consolidated revenues, operating profit and identifiable assets. Financial information on segments, as defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, is set forth on
pages 76 and 77 of the Companys 2007 Annual Report under the caption Segment Information, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Segments

For financial reporting purposes, management organizes the Companys chewing gum and
other confectionery business based principally on geographic regions. Descriptions of the Companys reportable segments are as follows.



| |  |  | North AmericaThese operations manufacture and market gum and other confectionery products in the U.S. and Canada.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | EMEAIThese operations manufacture and market gum and other confectionery products principally in Europe as well as in the Middle East, Africa and India.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | AsiaThese operations manufacture and market gum and other confectionery products in a number of Asian geographies, including China, Taiwan and the
Philippines.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Other Geographic RegionsThese operations manufacture and market gum and other confectionery products in the Pacific and Latin American regions.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Acquisitions

In
addition to internal product development, the Company has continued to enhance the portfolio of products it offers through the diversification of its business within the broader confectionery category.

On January 31, 2007, the Company acquired an 80 percent initial interest in A.
Korkunov®, a privately held premium chocolate company in Russia. This acquisition provided the Company with an opportunity to enter the chocolate confectionery marketplace with a well
recognized brand in a growing region.

In 2005, the Company acquired certain
non-chocolate confectionery assets from Kraft Foods Global, Inc., including the purchase of the Life Savers®, Altoids®,
Crème Savers®, and Sugus® brands. The purchase provided additional diversification in the key categories of mints and hard
and chewy candy, expanded the Companys product offering to customers worldwide, added scale and brand depth to the innovation pipeline and increased efficiency across the Companys supply chain.

In 2004, the Company acquired certain confectionery businesses of the Joyco Group from Agrolimen, a
privately-held Spanish conglomerate. This transaction strengthened the Companys operations in key geographies such as Spain, India and China by giving us a broader confectionery brand portfolio, access to additional distribution channels and
enhanced manufacturing capabilities.

Production

In 2007, chewing gum and other confectionery products were manufactured in three factories in the United States and sixteen factories in other countries. Northwestern Flavors, LLC, a domestic wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, processes flavorings and refined mint oil for the Company. In addition, four foreign facilities also manufacture gum base for the Companys international production facilities and for third-party gum product
manufacturers. Two others produce gum base for their own use. In 2005, the Company announced plans to restructure its North American production network in order to maximize supply chain efficiencies. As a result, in late 2006 the Company closed its
chewing gum plant in Chicago, Illinois and its L.A. Dreyfus gum base subsidiary in Edison, New Jersey, and transferred production to remaining facilities. Also, in April, 2006, the Company closed the facility located in Bridgend, Wales which was
acquired in the transaction with Kraft Foods Global, Inc.

Ingredients

Raw materials such as sugar, corn syrup, flavoring oils, polyols and high-intensity sweeteners blended to make chewing gum are readily available in the open market. Other ingredients and necessary packaging materials
are also available and purchased in the open market. Inventory requirements of the Company are not materially affected by seasonal or other factors.

Sales

The Company markets chewing gum and other confectionery products primarily through distributors, wholesalers,
corporate chains and cooperative buying groups that distribute the product through retail outlets with consumer purchases at the retail level generated primarily through the Companys advertisements on television as well as in newspapers,
magazines and other media, all designed to best reach consumers. Additional direct customers are vending distributors, concessionaires and other established customers purchasing in wholesale quantities.

Customer orders are usually received electronically, by mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail and are generally shipped by truck from factory warehouses
or leased warehousing facilities. In general, the Company does not offer its customers extended payment terms. It is typical for the general customer of the wholesale trade to purchase chewing gum and other confectionery requirements at intervals of
approximately ten days to two weeks to assure fresh stocks and good turnover. The Company believes these conditions are not materially different from those of its competitors. On a consolidated basis, sales are relatively consistent throughout the
year.

In 2007, the Companys ten largest revenue producing countries outside of the United States were, in alphabetical order:
Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain and the United Kingdom.

Product Development

Innovation has been a key element of Wrigleys success. The Company holds numerous patents and patent applications relating to packaging,
manufacturing processes and product formulas, including approximately 200 significant patents relating to packaging, chewing gum confection processing, product formula and sweetener

encapsulation. Most of these patents expire in the countries in which they are registered at various times through the year 2021. While the Company considers
its patent portfolio to be valuable, the Company does not believe that its business is dependent upon any single patent or group of related patents.

In addition, trademarks are of material importance to the Company globally. Generally, Wrigley products are marketed under trademarks owned by the Company. These trademarks are registered and maintained for
brands of the Companys products where appropriate. Generally, trademarks are valid as long as they are in use and/or their registrations are properly maintained. The Company actively monitors the registrations of its trademark and patent
portfolios to ensure that the intellectual property is appropriately protected and maintained.

The Company maintains an active in-house
research and development program, and also contracts with outside services for developing and improving Wrigley products, machinery and operations. In 2005, the Company opened its Global Innovation Center which is a state-of-the-art facility
dedicated to the development of new products and the enhancement of the Companys existing product lines. Information relating to the cost incurred by the Company for research and development in each of the last three fiscal years is set forth
on page 55 of the Companys 2007 Annual Report under the caption Research and Development and is incorporated herein by reference.

Competitive Conditions

The confectionery business is an intensely competitive one as all of the Companys brands
compete for retail shelf space with other advertised and branded products. The Company competes in over 180 countries and territories. In most marketplaces, there are two or three major competitors and generally half a dozen or more other companies
competing for a share of the confectionery business. In the gum category, the Company is a worldwide leader. The Company competes primarily with Cadbury Adams and Mars Incorporated, on a global basis, and Lotte Co., Ltd. in Asia, Perfetti van Melle
S.p.A. in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India, and The Hershey Company in North America.

The continued growth of alternative store
formats, product and packaging innovations, technological advances, and new industry techniques have all added variables for companies in the confectionery industry to consider in order to remain competitive. In all areas in which the Company
distributes its products, principal elements of competition are a combination of competitive profit margins to the trade, level of product quality, brand recognition, product benefit and a fair consumer price. Positive factors pertaining to the
Companys competitive position include well-recognized brands, strong brand management, varied product offerings, product innovation and a strong distribution network.

Employees

As of December 31, 2007, the Company employed approximately 16,400 people worldwide.

|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

Significant
factors that could impact the Companys business operations include, without limitation, the following:

Availability or
retention of retail space. In those countries where the Company maintains leadership in the gum segment, the Companys ability to retain preferred retail space allocation will impact results. If the Company is not able to retain
this allocation, the Companys results could be negatively impacted.

Availability of raw materials. The Company
uses many raw materials to manufacture chewing gum and other confectionery products including sugar, corn syrup, flavoring oils, polyols and high intensity sweeteners. While these products are generally readily available on the open market, if the
Company is unable to maintain the availability, pricing and sourcing of these raw materials, the Companys results could be negatively impacted.

Changes in demographics and consumer preference. The Company operates in an increasingly competitive industry. As such, the Companys continued success is dependent upon its ability to continue
to create and market products which appeal to diverse consumers. Failure to adequately anticipate and react to changing demographics and product preferences, the failure of new or existing products to be favorably received or the Companys
inability to otherwise adapt to changing customer and consumer needs could result in increased capital, marketing or other expenditures or may result in a decrease in category share growth, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the
Companys operating results.

Changes in foreign currency and marketplace conditions. Manufacturing and sales of a
significant portion of the Companys products are outside the United States. The majority of countries in which the Company operates tend to be politically, socially and economically stable. To the extent there is political or social unrest,
civil war, terrorism or significant economic instability, the results of the Companys business in such countries could be negatively impacted. In addition, given the global nature of our business, we earn revenue, pay expenses, incur
liabilities and hold assets in a variety of foreign currencies which we translate into U.S. Dollars for financial reporting purposes at the then-applicable exchange rate. Consequently, volatility in foreign currencies and the U.S. Dollar could
have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations.

Increased competition, discounting and other competitive
actions. The Company competes worldwide with other well-established manufacturers of confectionery products, including chewing gum. In addition, the Companys results may be negatively impacted by ineffective advertising, or by our
failure to sufficiently counter aggressive competitive actions. In addition, discounting and other competitive actions may also make it more difficult for the Company to maintain its operating margins.

Underutilization of or inadequate manufacturing capacity. Unanticipated movements in consumer demands could result in inadequate
manufacturing capacity or underutilization of the Companys manufacturing capacity, which could negatively impact manufacturing efficiencies and costs.



4



---

Governmental regulations. Government regulations with respect to import
duties, tariffs, taxes and environmental controls, both in and outside the United States, could negatively impact the Companys costs and ability to compete in domestic or foreign marketplaces.

Labor stoppages. To the extent the Company experiences any material labor stoppages, such disputes or strikes could negatively affect
shipments from suppliers or shipments of finished product.

Outcome of integrating acquired businesses. The
Companys inability to successfully integrate any acquired businesses or assets could cause actual results to differ from anticipated results or expectations of the business.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report and any documents incorporated by reference may include
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21 E of the Exchange Act. Statements and financial disclosure that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of
such regulations, as well as the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements or disclosures may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future trends, plans, events, results of operations or financial condition, or
state other information relating to the Company, based on current beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company.

expect, forecast, intend, may, possible, potential, predict, project or other similar words, phrases or expressions. Although the Company believes these
forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are based upon a number of assumptions concerning future conditions, any or all of which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to vary. Significant factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements are included in the section entitled Risk Factors (refer to Part I, Item 1A)
and those listed from time to time in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the risk factors or uncertainties listed herein or listed in any document incorporated by reference herein. The factors identified are
believed to be significant factors, but not necessarily all of the significant factors, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Unpredictable or unknown factors could also have
material effects on the Company. All forward-looking statements included in this report and in the documents incorporated by reference herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. Except as required by
law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
