*Cadbury Schweppes announces that Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (DPS) has filed a revised and updated version of its Form 10 Registration Statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). *

In addition to information disclosed in DPS' two earlier filings, this revised version of the Form 10 includes further information on the relationship between Cadbury Schweppes and following the demerger, and information on future compensation programmes of DPS. The document is available on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov.

Today's filing relates to the proposed demerger by Cadbury Schweppes of its Americas Beverages business. DPS will own Americas Beverages following the demerger and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The revised Form 10 is the third filing by DPS, following its initial filing on 13 November 2007. DPS will file further revisions in the first half of 2008. A final Form 10 will be filed with the SEC and sent to shareowners before the demerger becomes effective, which isn't expected to occur before the second quarter of 2008.
