The surprise announcement by Bill Wrigley Jr., who is stepping down as president and chief executive to clear the way for Mr. Perez, was welcomed on Wall Street, where shares of Wrigley (NYSE: WWY) shot up by as much as 16 percent in intraday trading. Mr. Wrigley, 43, will take a new role as executive chairman, while Mr. Perez, 59, will also take a seat on the board of directors.”
