NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONDENSED)
(Unaudited)

1.

The Consolidated Statement of Earnings (Condensed) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (Condensed) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, and the Consolidated Balance Sheet (Condensed) at March 31, 2002, are unaudited. In the Company's opinion, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for the periods and have been prepared on a basis consistent with the 2001 audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2001 consolidated financial statements and related notes which are an integral part thereof. Certain amounts recorded in 2001 have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.

2.

Conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may vary from those estimates.

3.

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the accounting rules for Emerging Issues Task Force Issues 00-14 and 00-25. In adopting these accounting rules the Company began reporting certain consumer and trade sales promotion expenses such as coupon redemption costs, in-store display incentives, co-operative advertising and new product introduction fees, as deductions from sales rather than as selling and general administrative expense. The consumer and trade sales promotion expenses applicable to these Issues totaled $10,463 and $5,411 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and are reflected in net sales for both periods. Adoption of the accounting rules had no impact on the Company's financial position or net earnings.

4.

On January 1, 2002, the Company formed an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) within the defined contribution plan for U.S. based employees. The primary purpose of the ESOP is to acquire and hold Wrigley shares credited to Wrigley Savings Plan participants' accounts as a result of employee contributions and Company matching program contributions. Company matching program contributions may be in the form of cash, treasury shares or authorized, unissued shares. The ESOP is a non-leveraged plan and all shares held are allocated to plan participants. Dividends on Company shares held by the ESOP are charged to retained earnings. The formation of the ESOP had no effect on the Company's net earnings or earnings per share.

5.

During the first quarter 2002, the Company performed the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill, under FAS 142, as of January 1, 2002. There was no impairment realized as a result of this test.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales
Net sales for the first quarter were $599.0 million, up $42.8 million or 8% versus the first quarter of 2001. Higher worldwide shipments increased sales revenue by 5%. Favorable mix in all regions increased net sales by 3%. Additionally, selected selling price increases primarily in the International regions increased net sales by approximately 2%. These increases were offset by translation of weaker foreign currencies, primarily in Europe, to the U.S. dollar resulting in reduced sales by approximately 2%.

Costs of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales for the first quarter was $249.4 million, up $21.0 million or 9% versus the first quarter of 2001. Higher shipments increased cost of sales by 5%. Additionally, unfavorable product mix and slightly higher product costs increased cost of sales by 6%. Translation of weaker foreign currencies, primarily in Europe, to the U.S. dollar reduced cost of sales by 2%.

Gross profit was $349.6 million, up $21.8 million or 7% from the same period last year. The gross profit margin on net sales was 58.4%, down from 58.9% in the first quarter of 2001. The .50 percentage point decrease was due primarily to slightly higher product costs and sales growth in some relatively lower margin business units.

Selling and General Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling and general administrative expenses for the first quarter were $226.2 million, up $13.9 million or 7% from the same period last year. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, consolidated selling and general administrative expenses were up 8%. The increase was mainly due to higher worldwide selling and other marketing expenses to support growth in key markets, increased consumer promotion expenditures including spending for new product launches, and higher general and administrative expenses including investment in information technology and new product development.

As a percentage of consolidated net sales, the expenses were as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


Investment Income
Investment income for the first quarter was $1.8 million compared to $4.1 million for the first quarter of last year. The decrease was due primarily to lower worldwide yields.

Income Taxes
Income taxes for the first quarter were $39.2 million, up $1.4 million or 4% from the first quarter of 2001. Pretax earnings were $124.6 million, an increase of $5.2 million or 4%. The consolidated effective tax rate was 31.5% compared to 31.7% for the same period last year.

Net Earnings
Consolidated net earnings for the first quarter of 2002 totaled $85.3 million or $.38 per share compared to last year's net earnings of $81.5 million or $.36 per share for the same period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Cash Flow and Current Ratio
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of 2002 was $66.3 million, essentially even with $65.6 million for the same period in 2001. The Company had a current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) in excess of 2.6 to 1 at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

Additions to Property, Plant, and Equipment
Capital expenditures for the first quarter were $47.7 million compared to $27.3 million in the first quarter last year. The increase was due primarily to spending in order to increase worldwide manufacturing capacity and investment in information technology. For the full year 2002, capital expenditures are expected to be about the same as 2001 and funded from the Company's cash flow from operations.

OTHER MATTERS

Market Risk
Inherent in the Company's operations are certain risks related to foreign currency, interest rates, and the equity markets. The Company identifies these risks and mitigates their financial impact through its corporate policies and hedging activities. The Company believes that movements in market values of financial instruments used to mitigate identified risks are not expected to have a material impact on future earnings, cash flows, or reported fair values.

The Company wishes to ensure that such statements are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements to comply with the safe harbor under the Act. The Company notes that a variety of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or expectations expressed in these forward looking statements.

           (a)  to manufacture, purchase or otherwise acquire, invest in, or mortgage, pledge, sell, assign and transfer or otherwise dispose of, trade, deal in and with goods, wares, merchandise and property of every class and description, including, but not limited to, the manufacture and sale of chewing gum, confectionery, food products and related products; and


           (b)  to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.


     FOURTH.  1.  AUTHORIZED SHARES. The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is five hundred million (500,000,000), consisting of four hundred million (400,000,000) shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock"), eighty million (80,000,000) shares of Class B Common Stock ("Class B Common Stock") and twenty million (20,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"), all of which shall be without par value.


     1.  COMMON STOCK AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK.


     (1)  The powers, preferences and rights of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, shall be in all respects identical, except as otherwise required by law or expressly provided in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation.


     (2)     (1)   At each annual or special meeting of stockholders, each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote in person or by proxy for each share of Common Stock standing in his, her or its name on the stock transfer records of the Corporation and each holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to ten (10) votes in person or by proxy for each share of Class B Common Stock standing in his name, her or its on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. Except as set forth herein, all actions submitted to a vote of stockholders shall be voted on by the holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (as well as the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, if any, entitled to vote thereon) voting together as a single class.


      (1)  In addition to any other votes which may be required pursuant to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Delaware law or otherwise, the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (including shares of any series of Preferred Stock, if any, entitled to vote thereon) and Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class, shall be required to authorize: (i) any substantive amendment to Section 3.13 of the Bylaws (or any successor section) or (ii) any amendment to this subdivision (b)(2) or subdivision (b)(4) of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Page 14

      (2)  The holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall each be entitled to vote separately as a class with respect to (i) other amendments to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation that alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of their respective class of stock so as to affect them adversely, including proposals to change the number of authorized shares of their respective class of stock, (ii) amendments to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizing additional shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, and (iii) such other matters as may require class votes under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall also be entitled to each vote separately as a class upon any proposal to issue authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock, except for shares issued in connection with stock splits, stock dividends or similar distributions.


     (3)  In addition to any other votes which may be required pursuant to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Delaware law or otherwise, so long as any shares of Class B Common Stock are outstanding, the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (including shares of any series of Preferred Stock, if any, entitled to vote thereon) and Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class, shall be required to authorize:

(1)  any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation;

     (2)  any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to or with any other person; or

     (3)  any dissolution of the Corporation;

provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any merger or other transaction described in the preceding subparagraphs (A) and (B) if the other party to the merger or other transaction is a Subsidiary of the Corporation.

     For purposes of this subdivision (b)(4), a "Subsidiary" is any corporation more than 50% of the voting securities of which are owned directly or indirectly by the Corporation; and a "person" is any individual, partnership, corporation or entity.

     (3)  If and when dividends on the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are declared payable from time to time by the Board of Directors as provided in subdivision (i), whether payable in cash, in property or in shares of stock of the Corporation, the holders of Common Stock and the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to share equally, on a per-share basis, in such dividends, except that, if dividends are declared that are payable in shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, dividends shall be declared that are payable at the same rate on both classes of stock and the dividends payable in shares of Common Stock shall be payable to holders of that class of stock and the dividends payable in shares of Class B Common Stock shall be payable to holders of that class of stock. If the Corporation shall in any manner subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other such class of stock shall be proportionally subdivided or combined in the same manner and on the same basis as the outstanding shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, have been subdivided or combined.

     (4)  (1)  The holder of each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall have the right at any time, or from time to time, at such holder's option, to convert such share into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, on and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

     (1)  In order to exercise his, her or its conversion privilege, the holder of any shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted shall present and surrender the certificate representing such shares during usual business hours at any office or agency of the Corporation maintained for the transfer of Class B Common Stock and shall deliver a written notice of the election of the holder to convert the shares represented by such certificate or any portion thereof specified in such notice. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. If so required by the Corporation, any certificate for shares surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder of such shares or his, her or its duly authorized representative. Each conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be deemed to have been effected on the date (the "conversion date") on which the certificate or certificates representing such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice and any required instruments of transfer shall have been received as aforesaid, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable on such conversion shall be deemed to have become immediately prior to the close of business on the conversion date the holder or holders of record of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby.

Page 15


     (2)  As promptly as practicable after the presentation and surrender for conversion, as herein provided, of any certificate for shares of Class B Common Stock, the Corporation shall issue and deliver at such office or agency, to or upon the written order of the holder thereof, certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. In case any certificate for shares of Class B Common Stock shall be surrendered for conversion of a part only of the shares represented thereby, the Corporation shall deliver at such office or agency, to or upon the written order of the holder thereof, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class B Common Stock represented by such surrendered certificate, which are not being converted. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be made without charge to the converting holder for any tax imposed on the Corporation in respect of the issue thereof. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable with respect to any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the shares being converted, and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

     (3)  Upon any conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto, no adjustment with respect to dividends shall be made; only those dividends shall be payable on the shares so converted as may be declared and may be payable to holders of record of shares of Class B Common Stock on a date prior to the conversion date with respect to the shares so converted; and only those dividends shall be payable on shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion as may be declared and may be payable to holders of record of shares of Common Stock on or after such conversion date.

     (4)  In case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation as a result of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities or other property with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Corporation as an entirety, a holder of a share of Class B Common Stock shall have the right thereafter, so long as the conversion right hereunder shall exist, to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and properties receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyances by a holder of one share of Common Stock and shall have no other conversion rights with regard to such share. The provisions of this subparagraph (5) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

     (5)  All shares of Class B Common Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall thereupon cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (3) of this subdivision (d), to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor.

     (6)  Such number of shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.

     (7)  At any time when the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the holders of Class B Common Stock, as reflected on the stock transfer records of the Corporation, falls below 10% of the aggregate number of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, then each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the total number of shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock "outstanding" at any time shall not include any shares of Common Stock which, after April 1, 1986, are (a) issued in exchange for the assets or stock of other entities (including pursuant to a merger or other business combination), (b) sold by the Corporation for value, (c) issued upon conversion of convertible securities issued in exchange for the assets or stock of other entities or sold by the Corporation for value, or (d) issued as a stock split or dividend with respect to shares issued or sold pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) above. For purposes of the first sentence of this subdivision (d)(8), any shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Corporation shall no longer be deemed "outstanding" from and after the date of repurchase.

     (8)  In the event of any automatic conversion of the Class B Common Stock pursuant to subdivision (d)(8), certificates formerly representing outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock will thereafter be deemed to represent a like number of shares of Common Stock. Immediately upon such conversion, the rights of the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock as such shall cease and such holders shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record owners of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

Page 16


     (5)  (1)  No person or persons holding shares of Class B Common Stock (hereinafter called a "Class B Holder") may transfer, and the Corporation shall not register the transfer of, such shares of Class B Common Stock, whether by sale, assignment, gift, bequest, appointment or otherwise, except to a Permitted Transferee of such Class B Holder, which term shall have the following meanings:

          (4)  the trustee of another trust which was irrevocable on the Record Date and to which Class B Common Stock was also first distributed by the Corporation (a "Transferee Trust"), provided that either the creator of the Transferor Trust or the spouse of such creator shares a common great grandparent with the creator of the Transferee Trust or the spouse of the creator of such Transferee Trust.

The Corporation may, as a condition to the transfer or the registration of transfer of shares of Class B Common Stock to a purported Permitted Transferee, require the furnishing of such affidavits or other proof as it deems necessary to establish that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee.

Page 18


     (6)  (1)  Shares of Class B Common Stock shall be registered in the name(s) of the beneficial owner(s) thereof (as hereafter defined) and not in "street" or "nominee" names; provided, however, certificates representing shares of Class B Common Stock issued as a stock dividend on the Corporation's then outstanding Common Stock may be registered in the same name and manner as the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock with respect to which the shares of Class B Common Stock were issued; and, provided further, however, that any certificates representing shares of Class B Common Stock originally issued in "nominee" name may be transferred and reissued in the name of another "nominee" so long as the beneficial owner of the shares represented by such certificates does not change as a result of such transfer. For the purposes of subdivision (d) and this subdivision (f), the term "beneficial owner(s)" of any shares of Class B Common Stock shall mean the person or persons who possess the power to vote or dispose, or to direct the voting or disposition, of such shares; and "beneficially owned" shares shall refer to shares held by a beneficial owner.

          (1)  The Corporation shall note on the certificates representing the shares of Class B Common Stock that there are restrictions on transfer and registration of transfer imposed by subdivision (e) and this subdivision (f).

     (7)  Except as otherwise provided in subdivisions (b) and (c) above and except for shares of Class B Common Stock issued in connection with stock splits, stock dividends and other similar distributions, the Corporation shall not issue additional shares of Class B Common Stock after April 1, 1986. All shares of Class B Common Stock surrendered for conversion shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock.

     (8)  The Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are subject to all the powers, rights, privileges, preferences and priorities of the Preferred Stock as may be stated herein and as shall be stated and expressed in any resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly granted to and vested in it by the provisions of this Article FOURTH.

     (9)  After dividends to which the holders of Preferred Stock may then be entitled under the resolutions creating any series thereof have been declared and paid or set aside in funds for this purpose, and after the Corporation shall have set apart the amounts required pursuant to such resolutions for the purchase or redemption of any series of Preferred Stock, dividends may be declared and paid to the holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock in cash, property, or other securities of the Corporation out of any net profits or net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor.

     (10)  Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, and after the holders, if any, of the Preferred Stock of each series shall have been paid in full the amounts to which they respectively shall be entitled, or a sum sufficient for such payment in full shall have been set aside, the remaining net assets of the Corporation shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock in accordance with their respective rights and interests, to the exclusion of the holders of the Preferred Stock.

     (11)  Except as otherwise provided by law or by the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for the issue of any series of the Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and for all other purposes, each holder of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock being entitled to vote as provided in subdivision (b).


     2.  DESIGNATIONS, ETC. OF PREFERRED STOCK.

     (1)  Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each such series to have distinctive serial designations, as shall hereafter be determined in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series from time to time adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority so to do which is hereby vested in the Board of Directors.

     (2)  Each series of Preferred Stock

          (1)  may have such number of shares;

          (2)  may have such voting powers, full or limited, or may be without voting powers;

Page 19


          (3)  may be subject to redemption at such time or times and at such prices;

          (4)  may be entitled to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or noncumulative) at such rate or rates, on such conditions, and at such times, and payable in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any other class or classes or series of stock;

          (5)  may have such rights upon the dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation;

          (6)  may be made convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation at such price or prices or at such rates of exchange, and with such adjustments;

          (7)  may be entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund or purchase fund to be applied to the purchase or redemption of shares of such series in such amount or amounts;


          (8)  may be entitled to the benefit of conditions and restrictions upon the creation of indebtedness of the Corporation or any subsidiary, upon the issue of any additional stock (including additional shares of such series or of any other series) and upon the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions on, and the purchase, redemption or other acquisition by the Corporation or any subsidiary of any outstanding stock of the Corporation; and

          (9)  may have such other relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof;

all as shall be stated in said resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such Preferred Stock. Except where otherwise set forth in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of any series of Preferred Stock, the number of shares comprising such series may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) from time to time by like action of the Board of Directors.

     (3)  Preferred Stock of any series redeemed, converted, exchanged, purchased, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall constitute authorized but unissued Preferred Stock.

     (4)  All shares of any series of Preferred Stock, as between themselves, shall rank equally and be identical; and all series of Preferred Stock, as between themselves, shall rank equally and be identical except as set forth in resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing the issuance of such shares. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the number at the time outstanding of all shares of Preferred Stock affected, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting at which the holders of all shares of Preferred Stock affected shall vote separately as one class, shall be necessary before the Board of Directors may by resolution create, define and authorize the issuance of one or more series of Preferred Stock entitled to preference over one or more other series of Preferred Stock (as well as over the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock) with regard to (i) the payment of dividends, (ii) the distribution of assets in the case of the liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, or (iii) any combination of such preferential rights.

     (5)  The rights, powers, designations, preferences and qualifications of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock are set forth in its Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights, which is attached as Exhibit A.

     FIFTH. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized:

          (a)  To make, alter or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation.

          (b)  To fix and determine, and to vary the amount of, the working capital of the Corporation, and to determine the use or investment of any assets of the Corporation, to set apart out of any of the funds of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and to abolish any such reserve or reserves.

          (c)  To authorize the purchase or other acquisition of shares of stock of the Corporation or any of its bonds, debentures, notes, scrip, warrants or other securities or evidences of indebtedness.

     In addition to the powers and authorities herein or by statute expressly conferred upon it, the Board of Directors may exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware, of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation and of the Bylaws of the Corporation.

     Subject to any limitation in the Bylaws, the members of the Board of Directors shall be entitled to reasonable fees, salaries or other compensation for their services, as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, and to reimbursement for their expenses as such members.

          (a)  The material facts as to his interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by a vote sufficient for such purpose without counting the vote of the interested director or directors; or

          (b)  The material facts as to his interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or

          (c)  The contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders.

     3.     INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.

     (1)  The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his or her heirs, executors or administrators) in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 2(a) shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition.

Page 22


     The Corporation shall have the express authority to enter into such agreements as the Board of Directors deems appropriate for the indemnification of directors and officers of the Corporation. Such agreements may contain provisions relating to, among other things, the advancement of expenses, a person's right to bring suit against the Corporation to enforce his or her right to indemnification, the establishment of a trust to assure the availability of funds to satisfy the Corporation's indemnification obligations to such person and other matters as the Board of Directors deems appropriate or advisable.

     The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation who are not directors or officers similar to those conferred in this Section 2(a) to directors and officers of the Corporation.

     (2)  The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in Section 2(a) shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Corporation, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

     (3)  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

     4.  REPEAL OR MODIFICATION. Any repeal or modification of this Article ELEVENTH by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation existing pursuant to this Article ELEVENTH at the time of such repeal or modification.

     TWELFTH.  NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. The Board of Directors shall consist of not less than three (3) nor more than eleven (11), the exact number to be set as provided herein. Until increased or decreased as provided herein, the Board of Directors shall consist of nine (9) members. The Board of Directors is authorized to increase or decrease the size of the Board of Directors (within the range specified above) at any time by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the directors then in office. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation (and in addition to any other vote that may be required by law, this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of all the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation of each class entitled to vote in elections of directors (considered for this purpose as one class) shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal this Article TWELFTH of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation.

     THIRTEENTH.  CLASSIFIED BOARD.

     (1)  The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes:  Class I Directors, Class II Directors and Class III Directors. Each class of directors shall be nearly equal in number of directors as possible. Each director shall serve for a term ending at the third annual shareholders' meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected; provided, however, that the directors first elected as Class I Directors shall serve for term ending at the annual meeting to be held in the year following the first election of directors by classes, the directors first elected as Class II Directors shall serve for a term ending at the annual meeting to be held in the second year following the first election of directors by classes and the directors first elected as Class III Directors shall serve for a term ending at the annual meeting to be held in the third year following the first election of directors by classes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director shall serve until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, at each succeeding annual meeting of the shareholders' of the Corporation, the successors of the class of Directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected by a plurality vote of all votes cast at such meeting.

Page 23


     (2)  At each annual election, the directors chosen to succeed those whose terms then expire shall be identified as being of the same class as the directors they succeed, unless, by reason of any intervening changes in the authorized number of directors, the Board of Directors shall designate one or more directorships whose term then expire as directorships of another class in order more nearly to achieve equality in the number of directors among the classes. When the Board of Directors fills a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director, the director chosen to fill that vacancy shall be of the same class as the director he or she succeeds, unless, by reason of any previous changes in the authorized number of directors, the Board of Directors shall designate the vacant directorship as a directorship of another class in order more nearly to achieve equality in the number of directors among the classes. The terms of any director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy will expire at the next shareholders meeting at which directors are elected, despite the class such director has been elected to fill.

     (3)  Notwithstanding the rule that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number of directors as possible, upon any change in the authorized number of directors, each director then continuing to serve as such will nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he or she is a member, until the expiration of his or her current term or his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

     (4)  Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, removal or other cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

     (5)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation (and in addition to any other vote that may be required by law, this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws of the Corporation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of all the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation of each class entitled to vote in elections of directors (considered for this purpose as one class) shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal this Article THIRTEENTH of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation.

EXHIBIT A

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION, PREFERENCES AND
RIGHTS OF SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK

of

WM. WRIGLEY JR. COMPANY

     Section 1.  Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock" and the number of shares constituting such series shall be one million (1,000,000).


     Section 2.  Dividends and Distributions.


     (1)  Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the same date as the Company pays quarterly dividends on the Common Stock (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $10.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock, no par value per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after June 6, 2001 (the "Rights Declaration Date") (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.


     (2)  The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in Paragraph (A) above immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $10.00 per share on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.


     (3)  Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

Page 26


     Section 3.  Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:


     (1)  Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 1,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

     (2)  Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

          (1) (i) If at any time dividends on any Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to six (6) quarterly dividends thereon, the occurrence of such contingency shall mark the beginning of a period (herein called a "default period") which shall extend until such time when all accrued and unpaid dividends for all previous quarterly dividend periods and for the current quarterly dividend period on all shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment. During each default period, all holders of Preferred Stock (including holders of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock) with dividends in arrears in an amount equal to six (6) quarterly dividends thereon, voting as a class, irrespective of series, shall have the right to elect two (2) directors.


          (2)  During any default period, such voting right of the holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock may be exercised initially at a special meeting called pursuant to subparagraph (iii) of this Section 3(C) or at any annual meeting of stockholders, and thereafter at annual meetings of stockholders, provided that neither such voting right nor the right of the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock, if any, to increase, in certain cases, the authorized number of directors shall be exercised unless the holders of ten percent (10%) in number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding shall be present in person or by proxy. The absence of a quorum of the holders of Common Stock shall not affect the exercise by the holders of Preferred Stock of such voting right. At any meeting at which the holders of Preferred Stock shall exercise such voting right initially during an existing default period, they shall have the right, voting as a class, to elect directors to fill such vacancies, if any, in the Board of Directors as may then exist up to two (2) directors or, if such right is exercised at an annual meeting, to elect two (2) directors. If the number which may be so elected at any special meeting does not amount to the required number, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have the right to make such increase in the number of directors as shall be necessary to permit the election by them of the required number. After the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect directors in any default period and during the continuance of such period, the number of directors shall not be increased or decreased except by vote of the holders of Preferred Stock as herein provided or pursuant to the rights of any equity securities ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.


          (3)  Unless the holders of Preferred Stock shall, during an existing default period, have previously exercised their right to elect directors, the Board of Directors may order, or any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, irrespective of series, may request, the calling of a special meeting of the holders of Preferred Stock, which meeting shall thereupon be called by the President, a Vice-President or the Secretary of the Corporation. Notice of such meeting and of any annual meeting at which holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote pursuant to this Paragraph (C)(iii) shall be given to each holder of record of Preferred Stock by mailing a copy of such notice to him at his last address as the same appears on the books of the Corporation. Such meeting shall be called for a time not earlier than 20 days and not later than 60 days after such order or request or in default of the calling of such meeting within 60 days after such order or request, such meeting may be called on similar notice by any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph (C)(iii), no such special meeting shall be called during the period within 60 days immediately preceding the date fixed for the next annual meeting of the stockholders.

Page 27


          (4)  In any default period, the holders of Common Stock, and other classes of stock of the Corporation if applicable, shall continue to be entitled to elect the whole number of directors until the holders of Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect two (2) directors voting as a class, after the exercise of which right (x) the directors so elected by the holders of Preferred Stock shall continue in office until their successors shall have been elected by such holders or until the expiration of the default period, and (y) any vacancy in the Board of Directors may (except as provided in Paragraph (C)(ii) of this Section 3) be filled by vote of a majority of the remaining directors theretofore elected by the holders of the class of stock which elected the director whose office shall have become vacant. References in this Paragraph (C) to directors elected by the holders of a particular class of stock shall include directors elected by such directors to fill vacancies as provided in clause (y) of the foregoing sentence.


          (5)  Immediately upon the expiration of a default period, (x) the right of the holders of Preferred Stock as a class to elect directors shall cease, (y) the term of any directors elected by the holders of Preferred Stock as a class shall terminate, and (z) the number of directors shall be such number as may be provided for in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws irrespective of any increase made pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph (C)(ii) of this Section 3 (such number being subject, however, to change thereafter in any manner provided by law or in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws). Any vacancies in the Board of Directors effected by the provisions of clauses (y) and (z) in the preceding sentence may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors.


     (3)  Except as set forth herein, holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action.


     Section 4.  Certain Restrictions.


          (A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not


          (1)  declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock;


          (2)  declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;


          (3)  redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock; or


          (4)  purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.


Page 28

     (1)  The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under Paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.


     Section 5.  Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.


     Section 6.  Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. (A) Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have received an amount equal to $1,000 per share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the "Series A Liquidation Preference"). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall have received an amount per share (the "Common Adjustment") equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series A Liquidation Preference by (ii) 1,000 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in subparagraph (C) below to reflect such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock) (such number in clause (ii), the "Adjustment Number"). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and Common Stock, respectively, holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and holders of shares of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to 1 with respect to such Preferred Stock and Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively.


     (1)  In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of preferred stock, if any, which rank on a parity with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock.


     (2)  In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.


     Section 7.  Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

Page 29


     Section 8.  No Redemption. The shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.


     Section 9.  Ranking.  The series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation's Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise.


     Section 10.  Amendment. At any time when any shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock are outstanding, neither the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation nor this Certificate of Designation shall be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority or more of the outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class.


     Section 11.  Fractional Shares. Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.

          (b) motivating key employees by providing the opportunity to participate with the stockholders in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company.


     1.2 Plan. The Committee hereinafter designated, or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company if delegated with the authority pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof with respect to eligible key employees of the Company, its operating units or its subsidiaries in which it owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting stock, may grant to such eligible key employees (the "Participants") stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, share units, money credits, annual or long-term incentive compensation awards or combinations thereof, on the terms and subject to the conditions stated in the Plan.


     1.3 Limitation on Shares to Be Issued. The maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company, no par value (the "Common Stock"), to be issued pursuant to all grants made under the Plan shall be 20,000,000 shares. Shares awarded pursuant to grants that by reason of the expiration, cancellation or other termination of grants prior to issuance, are not issued, and restricted shares that are forfeited after their issuance, shall again be available for future grants.


     Shares of Common Stock to be issued may be authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, treasury stock, shares purchased on the open market or a combination thereof.

     1.5 Administration of Plan. The Plan and the programs thereunder (the "Programs") shall be administered by a committee of two or more persons selected by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors" or "Board") from its own membership, which shall be the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors unless another committee of the Board shall be designated by the Board for some or all purposes of the Plan (the "Committee," or the "Compensation Committee"). Solely with respect to administration of the awards granted hereunder that are intended to satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 162(m) (" Section 162 (m)") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), each member of the Committee shall be an "outside director" within the meaning of Section 162 (m), to the extent applicable. Solely with respect to administration of the awards that are intended to satisfy the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 (" Rule 16b-3") of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as then in effect or any successor provision, each member of the Committee shall be a "Non-Employee Director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, to the extent applicable.

In addition, with respect to awards granted under the Plan that are intended to satisfy the applicable provisions of Section 162 (m), the Committee shall have full power and discretion to establish and administer performance goals, establish performance periods and to certify that performance goals have been attained, to the fullest extent required to comply with Section 162(m).


     The Committee may establish rules, regulations and guidelines for the administration of the Plan, and impose, incidental to a grant, conditions with respect to employment or other activities not inconsistent with or conflicting with the Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company the power and authority with respect to the selection of, and grants to, eligible key employees of the Company, subject to the rules, regulations and guidelines of general application prescribed by the Committee.


     The interpretation by the Committee of the terms and provisions of the Plan and the administration thereof, and all action taken by the Committee, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company, its stockholders, all Participants and employees of the Company, and upon their respective beneficiaries, successors and assigns, and upon all other persons claiming under or through any of them.

     1.7 Purchase of Shares of Common Stock. It is contemplated that the Company, although under no legal obligation to do so, may from time to time purchase shares of Common Stock for the purpose of paying all or any portion of any award payable in or measured by the value of shares of Common Stock, or for the purpose of replacing shares issued or transferred in payment of all or part of an award. All shares so purchased shall, unless and until transferred in payment of an award, be at all times the property of the Company available for any corporate purpose, and no Participant or employee or beneficiary, individually or as a group, shall have any right, title or interest in any shares of Common Stock so purchased.


      1.8 Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Amendment to the MIP shall be effective as of March 5, 2002, pursuant to the approval of the stockholders of the Company at the 2002 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders held on March 5, 2002.

     Similarly, subject to obtaining the consent of the Participant where required by applicable law, the Committee may alter, amend or modify any award or grant made pursuant to the Plan or Programs in any respect not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan or Programs, as the case may be, if the Committee deems such alterations, amendment or modification to be in the best interests of the Participant or the Company by reason of changes or interpretations in tax, securities, other applicable laws, or other business purposes.

II. Stock Awards

     2.1 Form of Award. The Committee may in its discretion provide that a Participant shall receive stock awards, whether performance awards, performance shares or fixed awards, in the form of shares of Common Stock, but which may be forfeitable and/or with restrictions on transfer in any form as hereinafter provided.


     2.2 Performance Awards. Awards may be made in terms of a stated potential maximum number of shares, with the actual number earned to be determined by reference to the level of achievement of corporate, group, division, individual or other specific objectives over a period or periods of not less than one nor more than ten years. No right or interests of any kind shall be vested in an individual receiving a performance award until the conclusion of the period or periods and the determination of the level of achievement specified in the award, and the time of vesting thereafter shall be as specified in the award.


     2.3 Fixed Awards. Awards may be made that are not contingent on the performance of objectives but that are contingent on the Participant's continuing in the employ of the Company, rendering consulting services or refraining from competitive activities for a period to be specified in the award, which period shall be not less than one year.


     2.4 Rights With Respect to Restricted Stock Awards. Awards may be made in the form of shares that are subject to restrictions on transfer, as determined by the Committee.

     2.5 Terms and Conditions. Shares of restricted Common Stock issued pursuant to an award shall be released from the restrictions at the times determined by the Committee.

III. Share Units

     3.1 Credits. The Committee may in its discretion provide that a Participant shall receive a credit of share units, each of which is equivalent to a share of Common Stock except for the power to vote and the entitlement to current dividends.

Page 43


     3.2 Rights With Respect to Share Units. If share units are credited to a Participant, amounts equal to dividends otherwise payable on a like number of shares of Common Stock after the crediting of the units may, in the discretion of the Committee, be paid to the Participant as and when paid, or converted into additional share units which shall be credited to the Participant and held until later forfeited or paid out. Share units may be paid to the Participant in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, according to such requirements and guidelines as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

     4.2 Rights With Respect to Money Credits.

No option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date of grant. The per share option price shall be not less than 100% of the fair market value at the time the option is granted, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. Upon exercise, the option price may be paid in cash, in shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the option price or a combination thereof, or in such other manner as the Committee, in its discretion, either at the time of grant or thereafter, may provide, and the Committee may, in its discretion, require as a condition of exercise that the optionee pay to the Company any federal, state or local withholding tax or employment tax required by law to be paid over as a result of such exercise, which payment may be made in cash, in shares of Common Stock, or in a combination thereof, having a market value equal to the amount of the required withholding tax. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, options shall not be transferable, except that such options may be exercised by the executor, administrator or personal representative of a deceased optionee through a period not to exceed the date on which the option expires or three years after the death of such optionee, whichever is earlier. Options may be exercised during the optionee's continued employment with the Company and for a three year period thereafter, or for such other period thereafter as the Committee may determine, but in no event after the date on which the option expires.


5.3 Incentive Stock Options. With respect to incentive stock options, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by such individual during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such options shall be treated as nonqualified stock options. The per share option price for an incentive stock option shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock at the time the option


Page 44


is granted (110% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock at the time the option is granted in the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee, who, at the time the incentive stock option is to be granted to such employee, owns (within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code) stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, a parent or a subsidiary within the meaning of Sections 422 (e) and 422 (f), respectively, of the Code (a "Ten-Percent Stockholder"). Further, no incentive stock option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date such option is granted (five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a Ten-Percent Stockholder).


     5.4 Non-Employee Director's Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for any Director of the Company who is not an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates (a "Non-Employee Director") joining the Board between January and the date of the meeting of the full Board of Directors in May of each year, such Non-Employee Director shall automatically receive, without any further action required by the Committee or anyone, a grant of stock options having a Black Scholes value, as determined by an independent compensation consultant designated by the Company, equal to the Non-Employee Director's annual retainer; and, for any Non-Employee Director joining the Board between the date of the meeting of the Board in May and December 31 of any year, such Non-Employee Director will receive a stock option in the amount described above at the Board meeting at which such Director joins the Board; provided that each of the options shall have the following terms and conditions: (1)a term of ten (10) years from the date of grant; (2) vesting at the rate of twenty-five percent (25%) per year of continuous service as a Non-Employee Director based on grant date anniversaries; (3) the exercise price shall be the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant; (4) after termination, each option shall continue to vest during such post-termination period and shall be exercisable to the extent vested (a) for the balance of the term of the option, if the termination was the result of retirement on or after age 65 or disability, as defined in the Company's applicable retirement or welfare plan; (b) for twelve (12) months if the termination was the result of the death of the Optionee or (c) immediately upon termination, if the termination was the result of resignation or dismissal; and (5) each option may be exercised with cash, stock (provided such stock was owned at least six (6) months as of the date of exercise) or a combination of both.


VI. Stock Appreciation Rights


     6.1 Grants. The Committee may in its discretion provide that a Participant shall receive rights entitling such Participant to receive cash or shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the appreciation in market value of a stated number of shares of Common Stock from the date of grant, or in the case of rights granted in tandem with or by reference to a stock option granted simultaneously with or prior to the grant of such rights, from the date of grant of the related stock option to the date of exercise.


     6.2 Terms of Grant. Such rights may be granted in tandem with or with reference to a related stock option, in which event the grantee may elect to exercise either the option or the right (as to the same shares of Common Stock subject to the option and the right), or the right may be granted independently of a stock option. The right shall be exercisable not more than ten years after the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights shall not be transferable, except that such rights may, if the grant so provides, be exercised by the executor, administrator or personal representative of the deceased grantee within three months after the death of the grantee, and rights may be exercised during the individual's continued employment with the Company and for a period not in excess of three months following termination of employment, or for such longer period thereafter as the Committee may determine, but in no event after the date on which such stock appreciation rights expire, provided that if the grantee is a member of the Board of Directors, the stock appreciation rights may, if the term of the grant so provides, be exercised following termination of employment for three months or during such longer period as the grantee shall continue to serve as a member of the Board of Directors, or for such longer period thereafter as the Committee may determine, but in no event after the date on which such stock appreciation rights expire.



VII. Performance Units


     The Committee may in its discretion provide that a Participant shall receive performance units, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee in its discretion shall determine. The Committee shall establish a dollar value for each performance unit, the performance goals to be attained in respect of the performance unit, the various percentages of performance unit value to be paid out upon the attainment, in whole or in part, of the performance goals and such other performance unit terms, conditions and restrictions, as the Committee shall deem appropriate. As soon as practicable after the termination of the performance period, the Committee shall determine the payment, if any, which is due on the performance unit in accordance with the terms thereof. The Committee shall determine, among other things, whether the payment shall be made in the form of cash or shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof.

Page 45


VIII. Incentive Compensation Awards


The Committee in its discretion may establish annual and long-term incentive compensation programs pursuant to which incentive compensation awards may be granted to selected Participants, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee in its discretion shall determine.


IX. Section 162(m) Awards


     9.1 Performance Based Awards. The Committee shall determine the amount of each annual or long term incentive compensation award, stock award, restricted stock award, money credit award, share, performance or phantom unit award or other performance based award, and shall specify with respect thereto Performance Goals (as defined in Section 9.2 below) and a performance period during which such Performance Goals are required to be achieved. Any award that is conditioned on the achievement of performance goals that are not defined as Performance Goals in this Section 9.1 shall be bifurcated into separate awards so that the awards subject to this Article IX shall be conditioned solely on the achievement of Performance Goals. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in connection with either a specified termination of employment or the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 11.2 hereof), payment in respect of awards granted pursuant to this Article IX shall be made only if and to the extent the Performance Goals with respect to such performance period are attained. Performance Goals may include a level of performance below which no payment shall be made and levels of performance at which specified percentages (which may be greater than 100) of the award shall be paid or credited.


     9.2 Performance Goals and Performance Periods. The Performance Goals underlying the awards granted pursuant to this Article IX shall be the performance goals established by the Committee, which must be met during the applicable performance period as a condition of the Participant's receipt of payment (or, in the case of stock awards or restricted stock awards, the lapse of restrictions) with respect to an award, and which are based on the attainment of thresholds with respect to one or more of the following objective business criteria: earnings per share, return on equity, pre-tax profit, post-tax profit, consolidated net income, stock price, market share, sales, unit sales volume, return on assets, return on invested capital, cash flow, discounted cash flow, economic value added, costs, production, unit production volume, total shareholder return.


     With respect to annual incentive compensation awards, the performance period shall mean each calendar year, or, if different, each plan year. With respect to long-term incentive compensation awards, the performance period shall mean the period of consecutive plan years or such other period (which in no case may be less than one plan year) as may be determined by the Committee.


     9.3 Maximum Limitation on Section 162(m) Awards (Other than Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights). In no event shall payment be made with respect to annual incentive compensation awards granted pursuant to this Article IX for any plan year valued as of the end of such plan year, in an amount that exceeds the lesser of 250% of such Participant's annual rate of base salary as in effect as of the first day of the applicable plan year, without regard to any optional or mandatory deferral of base salary pursuant to any salary deferral arrangement (" Annual Base Salary") and $3,000,000. In addition, during the term of the Plan, no Participant can receive restricted stock awards relating to shares of Common Stock that in the aggregate exceed 375,000 shares of Common Stock, as adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof. Further, with respect to all awards granted pursuant to this Article IX that are not annual incentive compensation awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights or restricted stock awards, in no event shall payment be made with respect to such awards for any three-year period, valued as of the end of such three-year period, in an amount that exceeds the lesser of 100% of such Participant's Annual Base Salary and $900,000.


     9.4 Time and Form of Payment. Amounts in respect of awards granted under this Article IX shall be paid after the end of the applicable performance period, at such time as the Committee shall determine. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, such payments shall be made only after achievement of the Performance Goals has been certified by the Committee. Payments shall be made either in cash, in Common Stock, in such other form as determined by the Committee or in a combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Committee.


     With respect to all employees who are Covered Employees (as defined in Section 162 (m)), the foregoing provisions shall apply to the extent necessary for the awards granted pursuant to this Article IX to satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 162 (m).

Page 46


X. Loans


     The Committee may, in its discretion, authorize loans by the Company to Participants in connection with the grant of stock awards, other awards hereunder or the exercise of options or stock appreciation rights. The loans shall be subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall impose from time to time. Every loan shall meet all applicable laws, regulations and rules of the Internal Revenue Service, the Federal Reserve Board and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction.


XI. Miscellaneous


     11.1 Withholding. In addition to any other withholding provisions set forth in Section 5.2 hereof, the Company or a corporation or other form of business association of which shares (or other ownership interests) having 50% or more of the voting power are owned or controlled directly or indirectly, by the Company (an "Associated Company")may make such provisions as it may deem appropriate for the withholding of any taxes that the Company or Associated Company determines is required to be withheld in connection with any award or distribution hereunder, including permitting Participants to authorize the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock earned with respect to any grant or award.


     11.2 Change in Control. For purposes of the Plan and the Programs, a "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred:


     (a) if and when any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13 (d) and 14(d)(2)of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,) in a transaction or series of transactions, is or becomes a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person any securities acquired by an employee benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, or any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any such employee benefit plan), representing 5%or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities and there is outstanding an exchange or tender offer for securities of the Company (other than any such exchange or tender offer by the Company or by members of the Wrigley and Offield families); or


     (b) if any "person" (as above-referenced but excluding members of the Wrigley and Offield families) is or becomes a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person any securities acquired by an employee benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary thereof or any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any such employee benefit plan).


     11.3 Certain Provisions Relating to Participation. No Participant shall have any claim to be granted any award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment for Participants.


     Except as otherwise required by applicable law, no rights under the Plan or Programs, contingent or otherwise, shall be assignable or subject to any encumbrance, pledge or charge of any nature, except that, under such rules and regulations as the Committee may establish, a Participant may designate a beneficiary to receive, in the event of death, any amount that would otherwise have been payable to the Participant or that may become payable on account of or following his or her death except that, if any amount shall become payable to the executor or administrator of the Participant, such executor or administrator may transfer the right to the payment of any such amount to the person, persons or entity (including a trust) entitled thereto under the will of the Participant or, in case of intestacy, under the laws relating to intestacy.

However, no funds, securities or other property of any nature shall be segregated or earmarked for any current or former Participant, beneficiary or other person.
