AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO SCHEDULE 13D

          This Amendment No. 4 amends the Report on Schedule 13D, originally filed on December 11, 2000 (the “Original 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on January 2, 2001 (“Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on December 3, 2002 (“Amendment No. 2”) and Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on June 30, 2003 (“Amendment No. 3” and, collectively with the Original 13D, Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and associated preferred rights (collectively, the “Common Stock”), of PepsiAmericas, Inc. (the “Company”) beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by PepsiCo, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“PepsiCo”).

          The Original 13D, Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 were jointly filed on behalf of (i) Dakota Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Dakota”), (ii) Pohlad Companies, a Minnesota corporation (“Pohlad”), and (3) PepsiCo. As described in the second paragraph under the heading “Preliminary Statement” of Amendment No. 3, Dakota and Pohlad jointly filed Amendment No. 3 solely to reflect the conversion (the “Conversion”) of Dakota (a Delaware limited liability company) into a Minnesota limited liability company, which was accomplished by merging Dakota with and into Dakota Holdings, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Dakota Minnesota”). Following the Conversion and the consummation of the redemption described under Item 5 of Amendment No. 2, pursuant to which all of the membership interests in Dakota owned by PepsiCo through its wholly owned subsidiaries were redeemed in full, each of Pohlad and Dakota Minnesota elected to report, and have reported, their beneficial ownership of Common Stock apart from PepsiCo on Schedule 13Ds separate from this Schedule 13D. Consistent with this election, Dakota Minnesota (as successor to Dakota) and Pohlad are no longer reporting their beneficial ownership of Common Stock with PepsiCo and, as a result, any future amendments to this Schedule 13D, including this Amendment No. 4, are filed solely by PepsiCo and its subsidiaries.

          Unless indicated otherwise, all items left blank remain unchanged and any items which are reported are deemed to amend and supplement the existing items in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used without definitions in this Amendment No. 4 shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

     Item 1. Security and Issuer.

          The second sentence of Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby replaced in its entirety as follows:

          The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 4000 Dain Rauscher Plaza, 60 South Sixth Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402.

     Item 2. Identity and Background.

          Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby replaced in its entirety as follows:

          (a), (b), (c) and (f) This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly on behalf of each of PepsiCo, Pepsi-Cola Metropolitan Bottling Company, Inc., a New Jersey corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo (“Metro”), Pepsi-Cola Operating Company of Chesapeake and Indianapolis, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo (“Chesapeake”) and Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of St. Louis, Inc., a Missouri corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo (“St. Louis”, together with PepsiCo, Metro and Chesapeake, the “Reporting Persons”).

          In addition, Midland Bottling Co. (“Midland”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo, principally engaged as a holding company for various entities engaged in the beverage and snack food industries holds 794,115 shares in the Company and Beverages, Foods & Service Industries, Inc.

          (e) During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons listed on Schedules A through D attached hereto was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

In addition, PepsiCo’s wholly owned subsidiaries Midland and BFSI hold 794,115 and 424,157 shares in the Company, respectively. PepsiCo’s beneficial ownership of shares in the Company has not changed and no acquisition or disposition of securities outside the PepsiCo group has occurred. In addition, the Reporting Persons report that PepsiCo entered into the Amended Shareholder Agreement described under Item 6 below with the Company on September 6, 2005.

          The Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in the actions described under Items 4(a) — (j) of Schedule 13D.

     Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby replaced in its entirety as follows:

          (a) For the purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), PepsiCo may be deemed to beneficially own 57,263,870 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 44.47% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

          For the purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, Metro may be deemed to beneficially own 36,713,824 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 28.51% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

          For the purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, Chesapeake may be deemed to beneficially own 10,578,951 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 8.21% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

          For the purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, St. Louis may be deemed to beneficially own 8,752,823 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 6.79% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

          For the purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, Midland may be deemed to beneficially own 794,115 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 0.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

          For the purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, BFSI may be deemed to beneficially own 424,157 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 0.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

          (b) By virtue of the relationships reported under Item 2 of this statement, PepsiCo may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by each of Metro, Chesapeake, St. Louis, Midland and BFSI.

          (c) The Reporting Persons have not effected any transaction in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

          (d) By virtue of the relationships described in Item 2 of this statement, PepsiCo may be deemed to have the power to direct the receipt of dividends declared on the shares of Common Stock held by each of Metro, Chesapeake, St. Louis, Midland and BFSI and the proceeds from the sale of such shares of Common Stock.

          (e) Not applicable.

     Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

          On September 6, 2005, PepsiCo and the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Shareholder Agreement (the “Amended Shareholder Agreement”), which amends and restates in its entirety that Amended and Restated Shareholder Agreement dated as of November 30, 2000 (the “Prior Agreement”) between PepsiCo and the Company. The material terms of the Prior Agreement were previously summarized under the heading “Amended and Restated PepsiCo Shareholder Agreement” under Item 6 of the Original 13D. The Amended Shareholder Agreement provides that PepsiCo and its affiliates may not own more than 49% of the outstanding Common Stock. Under the Prior Agreement, PepsiCo’s and its affiliates’ ownership of Common Stock was similarly limited to a maximum ownership percentage of 49% of the outstanding Common Stock, but the combined ownership of PepsiCo and its affiliates, together with Robert C. Pohlad, his affiliates and his family, was also limited to a maximum ownership percentage of 49.9% of the outstanding Common Stock. The primary purpose of the Amended Shareholder Agreement was to decouple the ownership limitations that previously applied to the aggregate ownership of PepsiCo and Mr. Pohlad, his affiliates and his family.

          Any acquisitions by PepsiCo that would cause the maximum ownership percentage to be exceeded continue to require the consent of either (1) a majority of the Company’s directors not affiliated with PepsiCo or (2) the Company’s shareholders not affiliated with PepsiCo, or must be made pursuant to an offer for all outstanding shares of Common Stock at a price meeting specific minimum-price criteria. The Amended Shareholder Agreement continues to specify that, during its term, none of PepsiCo or its affiliates may enter into any agreement or commitment with Mr. Pohlad, his affiliates or his family with respect to the holding, voting, acquisition or disposition of our common stock. The Amended Shareholder Agreement also continues to restrict certain transfers by PepsiCo and its affiliates that would result in a third party unaffiliated with PepsiCo owning greater than 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

          The foregoing description of the Amended Shareholder Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Shareholder Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto, and is incorporated into this report by reference.

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Shareholder are parties to a Shareholder Agreement, dated as of May 20, 1999, as amended and restated as of November 30, 2000 (the “Original Shareholder Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, Shareholder is currently the owner of certain outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”);

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Shareholder again desire to amend and restate in this Agreement certain terms and conditions concerning the acquisition and disposition of Voting Securities (as defined herein) of the Company by the Shareholder, and related provisions concerning the Shareholder’s relationship with and investment in the Company.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

     “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any person, any other person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls or is controlled by or is under common control with such person. For the purposes of this definition, “control,” when used with respect to any particular person, means the power to direct the management and policies of such person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

     “Affiliated Transaction Committee” shall mean the Affiliated Transaction Committee of the Board.

beneficial owner of such interest (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any warrant, right or other instrument, or otherwise; provided that a Person shall not be deemed the Beneficial Owner of Voting Securities solely as a result of having been granted a revocable proxy relating to such Voting Securities in connection with any one special or annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (including any postponements or adjournments thereof), nor shall the procurement of such a proxy be deemed to give the proxy holder “control” over any Person as to which such proxy holder does not otherwise have control.

     “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company in office at the applicable time, as elected in accordance with the By-Laws.

     “Buy-Back Offer” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 3.2 of this Agreement.

     “Independent Director” shall mean any person who is both (i) independent of and otherwise unaffiliated with any member of the Shareholder Group, and who is not a director, officer, employee, consultant or advisor (financial, legal or other) of any member of the Shareholder Group and has not served in any such capacity in the previous two (2) years and (ii) not an officer or employee, consultant or advisor (financial, legal or other) of the Company and has not served in any such capacity in the previous two (2) years.

     “Maximum Ownership Percentage” shall mean, calculated at a particular point in time, a Total Ownership Percentage of 49.0%; provided that in the event of a Permitted Acquisition which results in the Shareholder Group’s Total Ownership Percentage exceeding 49.0%, so long

as the Shareholder Group’s Total Ownership Percentage exceeds 49.0% due to such Permitted Acquisition, the Maximum Ownership Percentage shall become the Shareholder Group’s Total Ownership Percentage giving effect to such Permitted Acquisition.

     (a) singly or as part of a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other 13D Group, directly or indirectly, acquire, propose to acquire, or publicly announce or otherwise disclose an intention to propose to acquire, or offer or agree to acquire, by purchase or otherwise, Beneficial Ownership of any Voting Security so as to cause the Shareholder Group’s Total Ownership Percentage to exceed the Maximum Ownership Percentage, other than pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition;

     (c) initiate (including by means of proposing or publicly announcing or otherwise disclosing an intention to propose, solicit, offer, seek to effect or negotiate) a merger, acquisition or other business combination transaction relating to the Company (other than a merger, acquisition or business combination of a third party (not a member of the Shareholder Group) with the Company) which would not be, if consummated, a Permitted Acquisition.

     The Shareholder Group shall not be prohibited by the terms of this Agreement from taking any action or exercising any right which is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including soliciting or obtaining the revocable proxy of any other shareholder of the Company with respect to the election of directors or any other matter, seeking the election of new directors, calling special meetings of shareholders of the Company, making shareholder proposals, engaging in discussions with the Board or the management of the Company or otherwise voting its Voting Securities in any manner in which any member of the Shareholder Group shall determine in its sole discretion. In addition, this section shall not be deemed to

restrict Directors affiliated with the Shareholder from participating as Board members in the direction of the Company.

     Section 3.2 Required Reduction of Ownership Percentage.

     (a) If at any time the Shareholder Group’s Total Ownership Percentage exceeds the Maximum Ownership Percentage other than as permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then the Shareholder shall, or shall cause the Shareholder Group to, consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, promptly (in any event, prior to the earliest to occur of (i) the record date for the next annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Company, (ii) the record date for the taking of any action of shareholders of the Company by written consent or (iii) the purchase of any additional Voting Securities by any member of the Shareholder Group) take all action necessary to reduce the amount of Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder Group such that the Shareholder Group’s Total Ownership Percentage is not greater than the Maximum Ownership Percentage.

     (b) During the term of this Agreement, if the Company purchases shares of Common Stock from the public, whether by tender offer, open market purchase or otherwise (a “Repurchase”), the Company shall contemporaneously with the Repurchase offer to purchase from the Shareholder Group, on the same terms and conditions, including price, as in the Repurchase, a percentage of those shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder Group equal to the percentage of shares of Common Stock to be Repurchased from the Beneficial Owners of shares of Common Stock other than the Shareholder Group (the “Buy-Back Offer”). The Company shall provide notice to the Shareholder of its intention to engage in a Repurchase and of the mechanism by which the Repurchase shall occur not less than thirty (30) days in advance of the date on which the Repurchase is to be consummated, and the Shareholder shall provide notice to the Company within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice of whether the Shareholder Group intends to accept the Buy-Back Offer.

     Section 3.4 Transfer. Except for any requirements of the Securities Act applicable to such Transfer, each of the members of the Shareholder Group may Transfer any of the Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by such member of the Shareholder Group to any transferee which is not a Significant Transferee without restriction, and may effect such a Transfer to a Significant Transferee with the prior written consent of a majority of the Independent Directors; provided, however, that each of such members of the Shareholder Group may Transfer any of such Voting Securities to any Significant Transferee without restriction (other than as contemplated in the last sentence of this Section 3.4) or obtaining such consent if, at the time of such Transfer, the Shareholder Group Beneficially Owns at least 20% of the outstanding voting securities of such Significant Transferee and no other Person Beneficially Owns a greater

percentage of the outstanding voting securities of such Significant Transferee than the percentage owned by the Shareholder Group (a “Permitted Significant Transferee”). The Shareholder Group shall obtain the prior written consent of a majority of the Independent Directors to any Transfer by the Shareholder Group of any voting securities of a Permitted Significant Transferee if, at the time of such Transfer, such Permitted Significant Transferee has a Total Ownership Percentage of greater than 20% and such Transfer would result in (x) the Shareholder Group Beneficially Owning less than 20% of the outstanding voting securities of such Permitted Significant Transferee or (y) any other Person Beneficially Owning a greater percentage of the outstanding voting securities of such Permitted Significant Transferee than the percentage Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder Group after giving effect to such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4, none of the restrictions of this Section 3.4 shall apply to (i) a Transfer by any member of the Shareholder Group of any of the Voting Securities in a public offering pursuant to which reasonable efforts are made to achieve a wide distribution of such Voting Securities, or (ii) a Transfer of Voting Securities among members of the Shareholder Group, provided that any such transferee shall agree with the Company in writing prior to each such Transfer to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to its Beneficial Ownership of Voting Securities.

     Section 3.5 Charter and By-Laws. During the term of this Agreement the Company shall not, and the Shareholder Group shall not, and shall not facilitate any effort to, amend, alter or repeal, or propose the amendment, alteration or repeal of, any provision of the Charter or the By-Laws in any manner which is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. If at any time during the term of this Agreement the provisions of this Agreement shall conflict with the provisions of the Charter or the By-Laws, the parties shall use all reasonable efforts, consistent with their fiduciary responsibilities, to cause the provisions of the Charter and the By-Laws to be brought into conformity with the provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 3.7 Special Meetings Requested by the Shareholder; Nominations. In the event that during the term of this Agreement the Shareholder Group requests a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws, or the Shareholder Group nominates an alternative slate of directors to the slate proposed by the Board at any annual meeting of stockholders of the Company in accordance with the By-Laws, the Company hereby agrees that the Company shall not, without the Shareholder’s consent, from the date of receipt of such request for a special meeting or the date of receipt of such nomination, as the case may be, until the adjournment of the requested special meeting or the annual meeting, as the case may be, (i) take any action effecting a material change in its capital structure, (ii) declare or pay a dividend (other than any regular quarterly dividend), (iii) materially increase the compensation of any executive officer or (iv) take any material action not in the ordinary course of business; provided that this Section shall not restrict the ability of the Company to comply with commitments entered into prior to the date of such request.

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 5.1 Injunctive Relief. Each party hereto acknowledges that it would be impossible to determine the amount of damages that would result from any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and that the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of such provisions would likely be inadequate and, accordingly, agrees that each other party shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies which it may have, be entitled to seek such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction to compel specific performance of, or restrain any party from violating, any of such provisions. In connection with any action or proceeding for injunctive relief, each party hereto hereby waives the claim or defense that a remedy at law alone is adequate and agrees, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to have each provision of this Agreement specifically enforced against him or it, without the necessity of posting bond or other security against him or it, and consents to the entry of injunctive relief against him or it enjoining or restraining any breach or threatened breach of such provisions of this Agreement.

Any waiver of any benefit or right provided to the Company under this Agreement shall require the approval of a majority of the Board and a majority of the Independent Directors at a duly convened meeting thereof.

     Section 5.4 Notices.
