Starbucks to pay $2.7 billion in Kraft fight

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

The dispute stems from a contract Starbucks (SBUX, Fortune 500) backed out of in 2010 under which Kraft (KRFT, Fortune 500) handled the coffee chain's grocery store business. Starbucks said it has since grown its non-restaurant retail business 62% and has become nearly 50% more profitable in that sector than when was aligned with Kraft.

For its part, Mondelez International (MDLZ, Fortune 500), which owned Kraft when the contract was in place, said it was "glad to put this issue behind us."

An arbitrator ruled that Starbucks will pay $2.2 billion in damages and over $500 million in additional fees to Mondelez, the companies said. The agreement was not made public but both companies issued statements.

The relationship between the two companies was first minted in 1998. A ten-year contract giving Kraft exclusive rights to sell packaged Starbucks coffee to retailers was signed in 2004.

Starbucks stock dipped slightly on the announcement, and Mondelez rose about 3%.
