On Monday, he and the rest of the Cadbury board unanimously voted to accept Kraft's improved, $19.4 billion offer for Cadbury. In a statement, Mr. Carr said he was "pleased" with Kraft's commitment to Cadbury's heritage, values and employees.
The move ends the independence of a 186-year-old icon of U.K. industrial history whose products, beloved by many in Britain and parts of the former British empire, include Dairy Milk, Crème Eggs, Dentyne chewing gum and Halls cough drops.
Mr. Carr now faces the task of demonstrating that his four-month war of words against Kraft succeeded in achieving a better deal for Cadbury shareholders than the one Kraft initially put on the table.
