TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 21, 2007, PepsiCo, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Indenture with The Bank of New York,
as Trustee (the “Indenture”), and issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.15% senior
unsecured notes due 2012 (the “Notes”).
The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.15% per year, with interest payable on May 15 and
November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2007. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2012.
The Notes will be unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally with all of the
Company’s unsecured senior indebtedness. The Notes will not be redeemable. The Indenture also
contains customary event of default provisions.
The public offering price of the Notes was 99.953% of the principal amount. The Company received
net proceeds of approximately $995.5 million and intends to use such net proceeds primarily for
general corporate purposes and also to repay existing short-term indebtedness incurred in
connection with the repayment of $500 million of indebtedness bearing interest at 3.2% per annum,
which matured May 15, 2007.
The Notes were offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s automatic shelf registration statement,
on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-133735), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) on May 2, 2006. The Company has filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement, dated May 16,
2007, together with the accompanying prospectus, dated May 2, 2006, relating to the offering and
sale of the Notes.
The above description of the Indenture and the Notes is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Indenture and form of Note, each of which is incorporated herein by reference and attached to
this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively.
