PART I Item 1. Business (a) General Development of Business. (1) General information. 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 (the Company), and in October 1927, was reincorporated under the same name under Delaware law. The Company has concentrated on one principal line of business: manufacturing and marketing quality confectionery products, primarily chewing gum. The Company recently diversified its business within the broader confectionery category. To this end, the Company, in 2004, acquired certain confectionery businesses of the Joyco Group from Agrolimen - a privately-held Spanish conglomerate. This acquisition is strengthening the Companys operations in key geographies including Spain, India and China through a broader confectionery brand portfolio, access to additional distribution channels and enhanced manufacturing capabilities. In 2005, the Company completed its acquisition of certain non-chocolate confectionery assets from Kraft Foods Global, Inc. Additional information relating to the acquisition of certain confectionery businesses of the Joyco Group, and certain nonchocolate confectionery assets from Kraft Foods Global, Inc., is set forth on pages 48 and 49 of the Companys 2005 Annual Report under the caption acquisitions and is incorporated herein by reference. In 2005, the Company issued senior unsecured notes and commercial paper in order to facilitate the acquisition of certain non-chocolate confectionery assets from Kraft Foods Global, Inc. Additional information regarding the Companys debt in this regard is set forth on page 46 of the Companys Annual Report under the caption Long-term Debt and is incorporated herein by reference. In 2005, the Company announced plans to restructure its North American production network in order to maximize supply chain efficiencies. As a result, the Company plans to close its chewing gum plant in Chicago, Illinois and its L.A. Dreyfus gum base subsidiary in Edison, New Jersey, transferring production to remaining facilities. Additional information regarding the Companys restructuring plans is set forth on page 50 of the Companys Annual Report under the caption restructuring and is incorporated herein by reference. (2) Not applicable. (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments. The Companys principal business is 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 58 and 59 of the Companys 2005 Annual Report under the caption segment information, which information is incorporated herein by reference. (c) Narrative Description of Business. (1) Business conducted. The following is a description of the business conducted and intended to be conducted by the Company and its wholly-owned associated companies: (i) Principal products, markets and methods of distribution. The Companys principal business is manufacturing and selling chewing gum and other confectionery products, both in the United States and abroad. Information concerning the Companys current and new products for the year ended December 31, 2005 is hereby incorporated by reference from the inside back cover of the Companys 2005 Annual Report. In 2005, the Companys ten largest revenue producing countries outside of the United States were, in alphabetical order:

Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Poland, Russia, Spain, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. Chewing gum and other confectionery products are manufactured in four factories in the United States and sixteen factories in other countries. Two domestic wholly-owned associated companies, L.A. Dreyfus Company and Northwestern Flavors, LLC, manufacture products, gum base and mint oil, respectively, other than chewing gum or confectionery products. In addition, four foreign facilities also manufacture gum base for the Companys international production facilities and for third party gum product manufacturers. 3

sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/108601/000120677406000260/wm112429.htm
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. Additional direct customers are vending distributors, concessionaires and other established customers purchasing in wholesale quantities. Customer orders are usually received electronically, by mail, telephone or telefax and are generally shipped by truck from factory warehouses or leased warehousing facilities. Consumer purchases at the retail level are generated primarily through the Companys advertisements on television as well as in newspapers and magazines. (ii) Sources and availability of raw materials. Raw materials blended to make chewing gum are readily available in the open market and they include sugar, corn syrup, flavoring oils, polyols and high intensity sweeteners. Other ingredients and necessary packaging materials are also available and purchased in the open market. (iii) Patents and trademarks. The Company holds numerous patents and patent applications relating to packaging, manufacturing processes and product formulas. Approximately sixty patents relating to packaging, chewing gum confection processing, product formula and sweetener encapsulation, primarily for sugar-free gum and continuous chewing gum manufacturing, are deemed of material importance to the Company. Most of these patents expire in the countries in which they are registered at various times through the year 2021. Trademarks are of material importance to the Company and are registered and maintained for all brands of the Companys chewing gum and confectionery products on a worldwide basis as appropriate. (iv) Seasonality. On a consolidated basis, sales are relatively consistent throughout the year. (v) Working capital items. Inventory requirements of the Company are not materially affected by seasonal or other factors. In general, the Company does not offer its customers extended payment terms. The Company believes these conditions are not materially different from those of its competitors. (vi) Customers. The Companys products are distributed through more than 1,600 direct customers throughout the United States alone. No single domestic or foreign customer accounts for as much as 10% of consolidated revenues. (vii) Orders. 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. (viii) Government business. The Company has no material portion of its business, which may be subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts at the election of the Government. (ix) Competitive conditions. The confectionery business is an intensely competitive one in the United States and in most international marketplaces as all of the Companys 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 chewing gum category, the Company is a worldwide leader, accounting for approximately 63% of the total chewing gum product unit sales sold in the United States alone, according to outside sources (i.e., Nielsen, IRI). The Company competes primarily with Cadbury Adams (a division of Cadbury Schweppes) in the chewing gum category and with Cadbury Adams, Masterfoods and Hershey, in other nonchocolate categories, mainly hard and chewy candy including mints. The continued growth of alternative store formats, product and packaging innovations, technological advances, and new industry techniques have all added additional 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 Companys competitive position include well-recognized brands, strong brand management, varied product offerings, product innovation, and a strong distribution network. (x) Research and development. The Company has for many years maintained an active in-house research and development program, and has also contracted outside services for developing and improving Wrigley products, machinery and operations.

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 43 of the Companys 2005 Annual Report under the caption Research and Development and is incorporated herein by reference. (xi) Compliance with environmental laws. Compliance with federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, has no material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the Company. (xii) Employees. As of December 31, 2005, the Company employed approximately 14,300 persons worldwide. 4

(d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales. Information concerning the Companys operations in different geographic areas for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 is hereby incorporated by reference from the Companys 2005 Annual Report on pages 58 and 59 , under the caption segment information, and on pages 20 through 23 under the caption Results of Operations. (e) Available Information. Information regarding the Companys annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to these reports, will be made available in print, free of charge, to any stockholder who request them, or at the Companys internet website at www.wrigley.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company electronically files such reports with or furnishes them to the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, information regarding the Companys corporate governance guidelines (Principles of Corporate Governance) and code of ethics (Code of Business Conduct), and the charters of the Companys Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committees, are available free of charge also on the above-mentioned Companys website or in print to any shareholder who request them. Item 1A. Risk Factors. Significant factors that could impact the Companys business operations include, without limitation, the following: Availability or retention of retail space - In those countries where we maintain market leadership in the chewing gum segment, our ability to retain preferred retail space allocation will impact results, and if we are not able to retain this allocation, our results could be negatively impacted. Availability of raw materials - Failure to maintain the availability, pricing and sourcing of raw materials could negatively impact results. Changes in demography and consumer preferences - We market our products to different segments of the population. Failure to adequately anticipate and react to changing demographics and product preferences could negatively impact results. Changes in foreign currency and markets conditions - Both manufacturing and sales of a significant portion of our products are outside the United States and could be negatively impacted by volatile foreign currencies and geographies. Changes in product performance and competition - We compete worldwide with other well-established manufacturers of confectionery products, including chewing gum. Our results may be negatively impacted by a failure of new or existing products to be favorably received, by ineffective advertising, or by failure to sufficiently counter aggressive competitive actions. Underutilization of or inadequate manufacturing capacity - Underutilization of or inadequate manufacturing capacity due to unanticipated movements in consumer demands could negatively impact manufacturing efficiencies and costs. Discounting and other competitive actions - Discounting and other competitive actions may make it more difficult for us to maintain our operating margins. Governmental regulations - Governmental regulations with respect to import duties, tariffs, taxes and environmental controls, both in and outside the U.S., could negatively impact our costs and ability to compete in domestic or foreign marketplaces. Labor stoppages - To the extent we could experience any material labor stoppages, such disputes or strikes could negatively affect shipments from suppliers or shipments of finished product. Outcome of integrating Kraft assets acquired - Our ability to successfully integrate certain confectionery assets

Political, economic and social instability While the countries in which we operate 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 our business in such countries could be negatively impacted. 5
