PepsiCo Senior Notes Offering.

On August 8, 2012, PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) announced an offering of $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 0.700% Senior Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”), $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.250% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.600% Senior Notes due 2042 (the “2042 Notes” and, together with the 2015 Notes and the 2017 Notes, the “Notes”). Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and RBS Securities Inc. were joint bookrunners for the offering of the Notes.

The public offering price of the 2015 Notes was 99.967% of the principal amount, the public offering price of the 2017 Notes was 99.484% of the principal amount and the public offering price of the 2042 Notes was 98.358% of the principal amount. PepsiCo received net proceeds of approximately $2,473.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by PepsiCo after reimbursement. PepsiCo intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of commercial paper. The Notes were offered and sold pursuant to a Terms Agreement (the “Terms Agreement”) dated August 8, 2012 (incorporating the Underwriting Agreement Standard Provisions dated August 8, 2012) among PepsiCo and the representatives of the several underwriters, under PepsiCo’s automatic shelf registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-177307), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 13, 2011. PepsiCo has filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement, dated August 8, 2012, together with the accompanying prospectus, dated October 13, 2011, relating to the offer and sale of the Notes.

The Notes were issued on August 13, 2012 pursuant to an Indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of May 21, 2007 between PepsiCo and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee. The 2015 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 0.700% per year, with interest payable on February 13 and August 13 of each year, beginning on February 13, 2013, and will mature on August 13, 2015. PepsiCo will be able to redeem some or all of the 2015 Notes at any time and from time to time at the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2015 Notes being redeemed and the discounted present value of such Notes, discounted at the corresponding U.S. Treasury rate plus 5 basis points. The 2017 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 1.250% per year, with interest payable on February 13 and August 13 of each year, beginning on February 13, 2013, and will mature on August 13, 2017. PepsiCo will be able to redeem some or all of the 2017 Notes at any time and from time to time at the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2017 Notes being redeemed and the discounted present value of such Notes, discounted at the corresponding U.S. Treasury rate plus 10 basis points. The 2042 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 3.600% per year, with interest payable on February 13 and August 13 of each year, beginning on February 13, 2013, and will mature on August 13, 2042. PepsiCo will be able to redeem some or all of the 2042 Notes at any time and from time to time at the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2042 Notes being redeemed and the discounted present value of such Notes, discounted at the corresponding U.S. Treasury rate plus 15 basis points. The Notes are unsecured obligations of PepsiCo and rank equally with all of PepsiCo’s other unsecured senior indebtedness. The Indenture also contains customary event of default provisions.
