NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions


Basis of Presentation

Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 8, 2007, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 8, 2007 and September 9, 2006, and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the 36 weeks ended September 8, 2007 and September 9, 2006 have not been audited. These statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006. In our opinion, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the 12 and 36 weeks are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year.

Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of a pro rata share of certain estimated annual sales incentives, and certain advertising and marketing costs, generally in proportion to revenue, and the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate. Raw materials, direct labor and plant overhead, as well as purchasing and receiving costs, costs directly related to production planning, inspection costs and raw material handling facilities, are included in cost of sales. The costs of moving, storing and delivering finished product are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Bottling equity income includes our share of the net income or loss of our noncontrolled bottling affiliates and the impact of any changes in our ownership interests in these affiliates. Bottling equity income includes pre-tax gains on our sale of PBG stock of $58 million and $162 million in the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 8, 2007, respectively, and pre-tax gains of $61 million and $167 million in the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 9, 2006, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2007, the reporting calendars of certain operating units within PepsiCo International’s (“PI”) reporting segment were changed such that most PI operations now report on a monthly calendar basis instead of a period reporting basis. Monthly reporting is preferable for our international businesses to facilitate local statutory reporting, which is generally based on monthly calendars. The change in reporting substantially reduces the number of financial closings and reconciliations executed by the international operations, improving overall efficiency. As a result of this change, third quarter PepsiCo results primarily reflect international monthly results for the months of June, July and August, and year-to-date PepsiCo results primarily reflect international monthly results for the months of January through August. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect this change, including a net gain from the sale of non-core cereal brands and a plant in the United Kingdom previously recorded in the third quarter of 2006 and now reflected in the fourth quarter of 2006.

In addition, beginning in the first quarter of 2007, income for certain non-consolidated international bottling interests was reclassified from bottling equity income and corporate unallocated results to PI’s division operating results, to be consistent with PepsiCo’s internal management accountability. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect this reclassification.

Debt Obligations and Commitments


In the second quarter of 2007, we issued $1 billion of senior unsecured notes maturing in 2012. We used a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the notes to repay existing short-term debt of $500 million, bearing interest at 3.2% per year and maturing on May 15, 2007, with the balance of the proceeds used primarily for general corporate purposes. In connection with the issuance of the $1 billion notes, we entered into an interest rate swap to effectively convert the interest rate from a fixed rate of 5.15% to a variable rate based on LIBOR. The terms of the interest rate swap match the terms of the debt it modifies.

Additionally, in the second quarter of 2007, we extended the maturity of our $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement by one year to 2012, and in the third quarter of 2007, we increased the amount of this agreement from $1.5 billion to $2 billion. The other terms of the credit facility remain unchanged. Funds borrowed under this agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including supporting our outstanding commercial paper issuances. This line of credit remains unused as of September 8, 2007.

In the third quarter of 2007, we updated our U.S. $2.5 billion euro medium term note program following the expiration of the existing program. Under the program, we may issue unsecured notes under mutually agreed upon terms with the purchasers of the notes. Proceeds from any issuance of notes may be used for general corporate purposes, except as otherwise specified in the related prospectus. As of September 8, 2007, we have no outstanding notes under the program.

As of September 8, 2007, we have reclassified $1.2 billion of short-term debt to long-term debt based on our intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis.

The Long-Term Contractual Commitments disclosed in Note 9 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006 did not include any reserves for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48). Because we are unable to reasonably predict the ultimate amount or timing of settlement of our reserves for income taxes, the Long-Term Contractual Commitments table has not been updated to include our reserves for income taxes. Subject to the foregoing, there has been no material change to the Long-Term Contractual Commitments table or our reserves for income taxes since December 30, 2006, and, therefore, the table has not been included in this Form 10-Q. As of September 8, 2007, our reserves for income taxes totaled $1.7 billion. See Income Taxes.

Income Taxes


In 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that we recognize in our financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year. As a result of our adoption of FIN 48, we recognized a $7 million decrease to reserves for income taxes, with a corresponding increase to retained earnings, as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year.

As of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year, the total gross amount of reserves for income taxes, which is reported in other liabilities, is $1.3 billion. Of that amount, $1.2 billion, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. Any prospective adjustments to our reserves for income taxes will be recorded as an increase or decrease to provision for income taxes and would impact our effective tax rate. In addition, we accrue interest related to reserves for income taxes in provision for income taxes and any associated penalties are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The gross amount of interest accrued as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year is $0.3 billion.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state and local jurisdictions, and many foreign jurisdictions. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and finally resolved. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, we believe that our reserves for income taxes reflect the most probable outcome. We adjust these reserves, as well as the related interest, in light of changing facts and circumstances. Settlement of any particular position would usually require the use of cash. The resolution of a matter would be recognized as an adjustment to our provision for income taxes and our effective tax rate in the period of resolution.

The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. Our major taxing jurisdictions include the U.S., Mexico, the United Kingdom and Canada. In the U.S, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), in the fourth quarter of 2006, issued a Revenue Agent’s Report (RAR) related to the years 1998 through 2002. We are in agreement with their conclusion, except for one matter which we continue to dispute. We made the appropriate cash payment during the fourth quarter of 2006 to settle the agreed-upon issues, and we do not anticipate the resolution of the open matter will significantly impact our financial statements. The IRS initiated their audit of our U.S. tax returns for the years 2003 through 2005 during the first quarter of 2007. In Mexico, during 2006, we completed and agreed with the conclusions of an audit of our tax returns for the years 2001 through 2005. In the United Kingdom, audits have been completed for all taxable years prior to 2004. In Canada, audits have been completed for all taxable years prior to 2004. We are disputing some of the adjustments for the years 1999 through 2003. We do not anticipate the resolution of the 1999 through 2003 tax years will significantly impact our financial statements. The Canadian tax return for 2004 is currently under audit and no adjustments are expected to significantly impact our financial statements.

In the third quarter of 2007, we recognized $115 million of non-cash tax benefits related to the favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters.

In October 2007, Mexico enacted new tax legislation that will take effect on January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new legislation on our financial statements and do not believe the impact to net income in 2007 will exceed $50 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


We adopted FIN 48 as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year. Additionally, in May 2007, the FASB published FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FSP FIN 48-1). FSP FIN 48-1 is an amendment to FIN 48. It clarifies how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. As of our adoption date of FIN 48, our accounting is consistent with the guidance in FSP FIN 48-1. See Income Taxes.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on our financial statements.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FINANCIAL REVIEW


Our discussion and analysis is an integral part of understanding our financial results. Also refer to Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Tabular dollars are presented in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common per share amounts, assume dilution unless noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. Percentage changes are based on unrounded amounts.

Our Critical Accounting Policies


Sales Incentives and Advertising and Marketing Costs

We offer sales incentives and discounts through various programs to customers and consumers. These incentives are accounted for as a reduction of revenue. Certain sales incentives are recognized at the time of sale while other incentives, such as bottler funding and customer volume rebates, are recognized during the year incurred, generally in proportion to revenue, based on annual targets. Anticipated payments are estimated based on historical experience with similar programs and require management judgment with respect to estimating customer participation and performance levels. Differences between estimated expense and actual incentive costs are normally insignificant and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined. In addition, certain advertising and marketing costs are also recognized during the year incurred, generally in proportion to revenue.

Income Taxes

In determining our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Our estimated annual effective tax rate also reflects our best estimate of the ultimate outcome of tax audits. In accordance with our income tax policy, significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our employee stock options, which include grants under our executive program and broad-based SharePower program, under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock option expense at the date of grant. All stock option grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and generally have a 10-year term. The fair value of stock option grants is amortized to expense over the vesting period, generally three years. RSU expense is based on the fair value of PepsiCo stock on the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, generally three years. Volatility reflects movements in our stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life.

For our 2007 Black-Scholes assumptions, see Stock-Based Compensation in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our Business Risks


We discuss expectations regarding our future performance, such as our business outlook, in our annual and quarterly reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. These “forward-looking statements” are based on currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations. We undertake no obligations to update any forward-looking statement.

Our operations outside of the United States generate approximately 45% of our net revenue. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency risks, including unforeseen economic changes and political unrest. During the 36 weeks, net favorable foreign currency contributed 2 percentage points to net revenue growth, primarily due to appreciation in the euro and British pound. Currency declines which are not offset could adversely impact our future results.

In the second quarter of 2007, we expanded our commodity hedging program to include derivative contracts used to mitigate our exposure to price changes associated with our purchases of fruit. Similar to our energy contracts, these contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are marked to market with the resulting gains and losses recognized in corporate unallocated expenses. These gains and losses are then subsequently reflected in divisional results. We expect to be able to continue to reduce the impact of increases in our raw material and energy costs through our hedging strategies and ongoing productivity initiatives.

Cautionary statements included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis and in Item 1A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 should be considered when evaluating our trends and future results.

Results of Operations – Consolidated Review


In the discussions of net revenue and operating profit below, “effective net pricing” reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.

Volume

Since our divisions each use different measures of physical unit volume, a common servings metric is necessary to reflect our consolidated physical unit volume. For the 12 weeks, total servings increased almost 4%, with worldwide beverages growing 3.5% and worldwide snacks growing 4.5%. For the 36 weeks, total servings increased 4%, with worldwide beverages growing 4% and worldwide snacks growing 6%.

We discuss volume for our beverage businesses on a bottler case sales (BCS) basis in which all beverage volume is converted to an 8-ounce-case metric. A portion of our volume is sold by our bottlers, and that portion is based on our bottlers’ sales to retailers and independent distributors. The remainder of our volume is based on our shipments to retailers and independent distributors. BCS is reported to us by our bottlers on a monthly basis. Our third quarter beverage volume includes bottler sales for June, July, and August. Concentrate shipments and equivalents (CSE) represent our physical beverage volume shipments to bottlers, retailers and independent distributors, and is the measure upon which our revenue is based.

12 Weeks

Net revenue increased 11% reflecting positive effective net pricing across all divisions, as well as our volume growth. Effective net pricing contributed 3.5 percentage points to net revenue growth and the volume gains contributed 2 percentage points. Acquisitions contributed 3 percentage points and foreign currency contributed nearly 3 percentage points to net revenue growth.

 

18


Table of Contents

Total operating profit increased 11% and operating margin was unchanged. The operating profit performance reflects leverage from the revenue growth, partially offset by the impact of higher raw material costs.

Corporate unallocated expenses increased 0.5% primarily reflecting higher net losses of $28 million from certain mark-to-market derivatives, mostly offset by lower deferred compensation costs of $16 million. The decrease in deferred compensation costs is offset (as a reduction to interest income) by losses on investments used to economically hedge these costs.

36 Weeks

Net revenue increased 10% primarily reflecting positive effective net pricing across all divisions, as well as our volume growth. Effective net pricing contributed 3.5 percentage points to net revenue growth and the volume gains contributed 3 percentage points. The impact of acquisitions contributed over 2 percentage points to net revenue growth and foreign currency contributed 2 percentage points.

Total operating profit increased 11% and margin increased 0.1 percentage points. The operating profit performance reflects leverage from the revenue growth, partially offset by the impact of higher raw material costs.

Corporate unallocated expenses decreased 2.5% reflecting lower pension costs of $13 million and foreign exchange gains of $9 million. In 2006, corporate unallocated expenses also reflect a gain of $11 million related to the revaluation of an asset held for sale.

Table of Contents

Net interest expense increased $24 million primarily reflecting losses of $10 million in the market value of investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation costs, compared to gains of $6 million in the prior year. The unfavorable impact of lower average investment balances was mostly offset by higher average interest rates on investments.

The tax rate decreased 4.7 percentage points compared to the prior year primarily due to $115 million of tax benefits in the current quarter related to the favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters.

Net income increased 17% and the related net income per share increased 19%. These increases primarily reflect our solid operating profit growth and the $115 million of tax benefits related to the favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters. Net income per share was also favorably impacted by our share repurchases.

36 Weeks

Bottling equity income increased 6% primarily reflecting higher earnings from our anchor bottlers.

Net interest expense increased $9 million primarily reflecting the impact of lower investment balances and higher average rates on our debt, partially offset by lower average debt balances and higher average interest rates on our investments. Net interest expense also reflected $6 million of gains in the market value of investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation costs, compared to gains of $8 million in the prior year.

The tax rate decreased 3.2 percentage points compared to the prior year primarily due to the $115 million of tax benefits in the current quarter related to the favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters.

Net income increased 15% and the related net income per share increased 17%. These increases primarily reflect our solid operating profit growth, as well as the decrease in our effective tax rate which includes the impact of the $115 million of tax benefits related to the favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters. Net income per share was also favorably impacted by our share repurchases.

Includes year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.

Overall, salty snacks revenue grew 5% with volume growth of 1.5%, and other macro snacks revenue grew 10% with volume growth of 5%.

Operating profit grew 7% driven by the net revenue growth. This growth was partially offset by increased advertising and marketing expenses, as well as higher commodity costs.

BCS volume declined 1% driven by a 3% decline in carbonated soft drinks (CSD), partially offset by a 2% increase in non-carbonated beverages. The decline in CSDs reflects a mid-single-digit decline in trademark Pepsi, partially offset by a low-single-digit increase in trademark Mountain Dew. Trademark Sierra Mist volume was flat. Across the brands, regular and diet CSDs experienced a low-single-digit decline. The non-carbonated portfolio performance was driven by double-digit growth in Lipton ready-to-drink teas and high-single-digit growth in waters and enhanced waters under the Aquafina, Propel and SoBe trademarks, partially offset by mid-single-digit declines in both Gatorade and our juice and juice drinks portfolio. The decline in our juice and juice drinks portfolio reflects a double-digit decline in Tropicana Pure Premium driven by significant price increases taken in prior quarters.

Net revenue grew 3% driven by net price increases, primarily on Tropicana Pure Premium and CSD concentrate. Acquisitions contributed 2 percentage points to net revenue growth.

Operating profit increased 7% reflecting the net revenue growth, as well as manufacturing and distribution efficiencies, partially offset by higher cost of sales, mainly due to higher fruit and juice costs. Operating profit also benefited from the absence of amortization expense recorded in 2006 related to a prior acquisition. The impact of acquisitions reduced operating profit by 1 percentage point.

Smart Spot eligible products represented over 70% of net revenue. These products experienced low-single-digit net revenue growth, while the balance of the portfolio grew in the mid-single-digit range.

OUR LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Activities

During the 36 weeks, our operations provided $5.2 billion of cash, primarily reflecting our solid business results, compared to $4.3 billion in the prior year. Our operating cash flow in 2006 also reflects a tax payment of $420 million related to our repatriation of international cash in connection with the American Jobs Creation Act (AJCA).

We make periodic regulatory contributions to our qualified pension plans during the course of the year. We also make annual discretionary contributions to these plans to maintain fully funded status on an accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) basis. We expect the assets for these plans to meet or exceed the liabilities for service to date as of September 30, 2007, our measurement date.

Investing Activities

During the 36 weeks, we used $1.9 billion for our investing activities primarily reflecting $1.3 billion for capital spending and $1.0 billion for acquisitions. Significant acquisitions included our acquisition of the remaining interest in a snacks joint venture in Latin America, our acquisitions of Naked Juice Company and Bluebird Foods, and the acquisition of a minority interest in a juice company in the Ukraine through a joint venture with PepsiAmericas, Inc. Proceeds from our sale of PBG stock of $296 million partially offset the use of cash.

We anticipate net capital spending of approximately $2.6 billion in 2007, which is expected to be within our net capital spending target of approximately 5% to 7% of net revenue in each of the next few years.

Table of Contents

Financing Activities

During the 36 weeks, we used $3.9 billion for our financing activities, primarily reflecting the return of operating cash flow to our shareholders through common share repurchases of $3.1 billion and dividend payments of $1.6 billion, as well as net repayments of short-term borrowings of $402 million. The use of cash was partially offset by stock option proceeds of $666 million and net proceeds from issuances of long-term debt of $463 million.

In the second quarter of 2007, our Board of Directors approved an increase in our targeted dividend payout rate from 45% to 50% of prior year’s earnings, excluding certain items. The Board of Directors also authorized stock repurchases of up to an additional $8 billion through mid-2010, once the current share repurchase authorization is complete. The current $8.5 billion authorization began in 2006 and has approximately $4.2 billion remaining.

Management Operating Cash Flow

We focus on management operating cash flow as a key element in achieving maximum shareholder value, and it is the primary measure we use to monitor cash flow performance. However, it is not a measure provided by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Since net capital spending is essential to our product innovation initiatives and maintaining our operational capabilities, we believe that it is a recurring and necessary use of cash. As such, we believe investors should also consider net capital spending when evaluating our cash from operating activities. The table below reconciles net cash provided by operating activities as reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to our management operating cash flow.

During 2007, we expect to return approximately all of our management operating cash flow to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. However, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. and “Our Business Risks” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 for certain factors that may impact our operating cash flows.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

PepsiCo, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 8, 2007, the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 2007 and September 9, 2006, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 2007 and September 9, 2006. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of PepsiCo, Inc.’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 30, 2006, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Common Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for the year then ended not presented herein; and in our report dated February 16, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the Consolidated Balance Sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During our third fiscal quarter of 2007, we continued migrating certain of our financial processing systems to SAP software. This software implementation is part of our ongoing global Business Process Transformation initiative, and we plan to continue implementing such software throughout our businesses over the course of the next few years. In connection with the SAP implementation and resulting business process changes, we continue to enhance the design and documentation of our internal control processes to ensure suitable controls over our financial reporting. Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our third fiscal quarter of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

to select the persons to be granted Awards under the Plan;

 

 

to determine the type, size and terms of Awards to be made to each Participant;

 

 

to determine the time when Awards are to be granted and any conditions that must be satisfied before an Award is granted;

to determine whether an Award shall be evidenced by an agreement and, if so, to determine the terms and conditions of such agreement (which shall not be inconsistent with the Plan) and who must sign such agreement;

 

 

to determine whether the conditions for earning an Award have been met and whether an Award will be paid at the end of an applicable Performance Period;

 

 

except as otherwise provided in Section 7(d), to modify the terms of Awards made under the Plan;

 

 

to determine if, when and under what conditions payment of all or any part of an Award may be deferred;

 

 

to determine whether the amount or payment of an Award should be reduced or eliminated;

(b)

Interpretation of Plan. The Committee shall have full power and authority to administer and interpret the Plan and to adopt or establish such rules, regulations, agreements, guidelines, procedures and instruments, which are not contrary to the terms of the Plan and which, in its opinion, may be necessary or advisable for the administration and operation of the Plan. The Committee’s interpretations of the Plan, and all actions taken and determinations made by the Committee pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder, shall be conclusive and binding on all parties concerned, including PepsiCo, its shareholders and all Eligible Persons and Participants.

 

 

(c)

Delegation of Authority. To the extent not prohibited by law, the Committee (i) may delegate its authority hereunder to one or more of its members or other persons (except that no such delegation shall be permitted with respect to Awards to Eligible Persons who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act and Awards

4.

Eligibility.

 

 

(a)

General. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time to time, select from all Eligible Persons those to whom Awards shall be granted under Section 7 and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award. Non-Employee Directors shall be eligible to receive Awards only pursuant to Section 8.

5.

Shares of Common Stock Subject to the Plan.

 

 

(a)

Authorized Number of Shares. Unless otherwise authorized by PepsiCo’s shareholders and subject to the provisions of this Section 5 and Section 10, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be the total of (i) 65 million plus (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock underlying awards under the Prior Plans that are cancelled or expire after the effective date of the Plan without delivery of shares. Any of the authorized shares may be used for any of the types of Awards described in the Plan, except:

 

 

(i)

at least 20 million of the authorized shares of Common Stock will be exclusively available for issuance pursuant to Awards under the SharePower Program;

 

 

(ii)

no more than 20 million of the authorized shares of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to Awards other than Options or SARs;

 

 

(iii)

no more than 45 million of the authorized shares of Common Stock may be issued in the form of ISOs; and

 

 

(iv)

no more than 150,000 of the authorized shares of Common Stock may be issued in connection with (A) Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units having a time-based Restriction Period less than three years (but in no event less than one year), subject to acceleration due to the Participant’s death, total disability, retirement or retirement eligibility; (B) Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units having a time-based Restriction Period that is actually accelerated due to a Participant’s transfer to an affiliated business; or (C) Stock Awards having a restriction on transferability of less than three years (not including transfers to satisfy required tax withholding

 

5


 

or intra-family transfers permitted by the Committee), subject to acceleration due to the Participant’s death or total disability, in each case described in (A), (B) or (C) above as specified in the applicable award agreement.

 

 

(b)

Share Counting. The following rules shall apply in determining the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for grant under the Plan:

 

 

(i)

In connection with the granting of an Option or other Award, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which the Option or Award is granted or denominated. For example, upon the grant of stock-settled SARs, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the full number of SARs granted, and the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall not thereafter be increased upon the exercise of the SARs and settlement in shares of Common Stock, even if the actual number of shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of the SARs is less than the full number of SARs exercised. However, Awards that by their terms do not permit settlement in shares of Common Stock shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan.

 

 

(ii)

Any shares of Common Stock that are tendered by a Participant or withheld as full or partial payment of withholding or other taxes or as payment for the exercise or conversion price of an Award under the Plan shall not be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan.

 

 

(iii)

Whenever any outstanding Option or other Award (or portion thereof) expires, is cancelled, is settled in cash rather than in shares of Common Stock (pursuant to the terms of an Award that permits but does not require cash settlement) or is otherwise terminated for any reason without having been exercised or payment having been made in the form of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be increased by the number of shares of Common Stock allocable to the expired, cancelled, settled or otherwise terminated Option or other Award (or portion thereof).

 

 

(iv)

Any shares of Common Stock underlying Awards granted through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted to individuals who become employees of the Company as a result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition or other corporate transaction involving the Company shall not, unless required by law or regulation, count against the reserve of available shares of Common Stock under the Plan.

 

 

(c)

Shares to be Delivered. The source of shares of Common Stock to be delivered by the Company under the Plan shall be determined by the Company and may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or repurchased shares.

 

6.

Award Limitations.

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Options and SARs that can be granted to any Eligible Person during a single calendar year shall not exceed two (2) million. The maximum amount of Awards other than Options and SARs that can be granted to any Eligible Person during a single calendar year shall not exceed $15 million; provided that the foregoing limitation shall be applied to an Award that is denominated in shares of Common Stock

 

6


on the basis of the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date the Award is granted. Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence, the maximum Award that may be granted to any Eligible Person for a Performance Period longer than one calendar year shall not exceed the foregoing annual maximum multiplied by the number of full calendar years in the Performance Period.

 

7.

Awards to Eligible Persons.

 

 

(a)

Options.

 

 

(i)

Grants. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Eligible Persons. Options may consist of ISOs or NQSOs, as the Committee shall determine. Options may be granted alone or in tandem with SARs. With respect to Options granted in tandem with SARs, the exercise of either such Options or such SARs will result in the simultaneous cancellation of the same number of tandem SARs or Options, as the case may be.

 

 

(ii)

Option Exercise Price. The Option Exercise Price shall be equal to or, at the Committee’s discretion, greater than the Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted, unless the Option was granted through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted to individuals who became employees of the Company as a result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition or other corporate transaction involving the Company.

 

 

(iii)

Term. The term of Options shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but in no event shall the term exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant; provided, however, that Awards of NQSOs and SARs covering up to five (5) million shares of Common Stock, in the aggregate, may be issued with a term of up to fifteen (15) years.

 

 

(iv)

ISO Limits. ISOs may be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees of PepsiCo or of any parent or subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of Code Section 424) on the date of grant, and may only be granted to an employee who, at the time the Option is granted, does not own stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of PepsiCo or of any parent or subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of Code Section 424). The aggregate Fair Market Value of all shares of Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable by a Participant for the first time during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000 or such other amount as may subsequently be specified by the Code and/or applicable regulations. The aggregate Fair Market Value of such shares shall be determined at the time the Option is granted. ISOs shall contain such other provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable but shall in all events be consistent with and contain or deem to contain all provisions required in order to qualify as incentive stock options under Code Section 422.

 

 

(v)

No Repricing. Except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 10, the Option Exercise Price for any outstanding Option granted under the Plan may not be decreased after the date of grant nor may any outstanding Option granted under the Plan be surrendered to the Company as consideration for the grant of a new Option with a lower Option Exercise Price without the approval of PepsiCo’s shareholders.

 

 

(vi)

Form of Payment. The Option Exercise Price shall be paid to the

 

7


 

Company at the time of such exercise, subject to any applicable rules or regulations adopted by the Committee:

 

 

(A)

to the extent permitted by applicable law, pursuant to cashless exercise procedures that are, from time to time, approved by the Committee; proceeds from any such exercise shall be used to pay the exercise costs, which include the Option Exercise Price, statutory minimum applicable taxes, brokerage commissions and SEC fees; any remaining proceeds from the sale shall be delivered to the Participant in cash or stock as specified by the Participant;

 

 

(B)

through the tender of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant (or by delivering a certification or attestation of ownership of such shares) valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise;

 

 

(C)

in cash or its equivalent; or

 

 

(D)

by any combination of (A), (B), and (C) above.

 

 

(vii)

No Dividend Equivalents. No dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid on Options. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have no rights as a holder of Common Stock with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by an Option unless and until such shares of Common Stock have been registered to the Participant as the owner.

 

 

(b)

Stock Appreciation Rights.

 

 

(i)

Grants. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to Eligible Persons. SARs may be granted alone or in tandem with Options. With respect to SARs granted in tandem with Options, the exercise of either such Options or such SARs will result in the simultaneous cancellation of the same number of tandem SARs or Options, as the case may be.

 

 

(ii)

Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock covered by a SAR granted pursuant to the Plan shall be equal to or, at the Committee’s discretion, greater than Fair Market Value on the date the SAR is granted, unless the SAR was granted through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted to individuals who became employees of the Company as a result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition or other corporate transaction involving the Company.

 

 

(iii)

Term. The term of a SAR shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, but, subject to Section 7(a)(iii), in no event shall the term exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant.

 

 

(iv)

No Repricing. Except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 10, the exercise price for any outstanding SAR granted under the Plan may not be decreased after the date of grant nor may any outstanding SAR granted under the Plan be surrendered to the Company as consideration for the grant of a new SAR with a lower exercise price without the approval of PepsiCo’s shareholders.

 

 

(v)

Form of Payment. The Committee may authorize payment of a SAR in the form of cash, Common Stock valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of the exercise, a combination thereof, or by any other method as the Committee may determine.

Except in the case of Awards covered by Section 5(a)(iv), any time-based Restriction Period shall be for a minimum of three years (subject to acceleration due to the Participant’s death, total disability, retirement or retirement eligibility, in each case as specified in the applicable award agreement). To the extent the Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units are intended to be deductible under Code Section 162(m), the applicable restrictions shall be based on the achievement of Performance Goals over a Performance Period, as described in Section 7(d) below.

 

 

(iii)

Payment of Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units that become payable in accordance with their terms and conditions shall be settled in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares, as determined by the Committee. Any person who holds Restricted Stock Units shall have no ownership interest in the shares of Common Stock to which the Restricted Stock Units relate unless and until payment with respect to such Restricted Stock Units is actually made in shares of Common Stock.

 

 

(iv)

Transfer Restrictions. During the Restriction Period, Restricted Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or mortgaged, pledged or otherwise encumbered. In order to enforce the limitations imposed upon the Restricted Shares, the Committee may (a) cause a legend or legends to be placed on any certificates evidencing such Restricted Shares, and/or (b) cause “stop transfer” instructions to be issued, as it deems necessary or appropriate. Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or mortgaged, pledged, or otherwise encumbered at any time.

 

 

(v)

Dividend and Voting Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, during the Restriction Period, Participants who hold Restricted Shares shall have the right to receive dividends in cash or other property or other distribution or rights in respect of such shares and shall have the right to vote such shares as the record owners thereof; provided that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any dividends or other property payable to a Participant during the Restriction Period shall be distributed to the Participant only if and when the restrictions imposed on the applicable Restricted Shares lapse. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, during the Restriction Period, Participants who hold Restricted Stock Units shall be credited with dividend equivalents in respect of such Restricted Stock Units; provided that, unless otherwise

 

9


 

determined by the Committee, such dividend equivalents shall be distributed (without interest) to the Participant only if and when the restrictions imposed on the applicable Restricted Stock Units lapse.

 

 

(vi)

Ownership of Restricted Shares. Restricted Shares issued under the Plan shall be registered in the name of the Participant on the books and records of the Company or its designee (or by one or more physical certificates if physical certificates are issued with respect to such Restricted Shares) subject to the applicable restrictions imposed by the Plan. If a Restricted Share is forfeited in accordance with the restrictions that apply to such Restricted Shares, such interest or certificate, as the case may be, shall be cancelled. At the end of the Restriction Period that applies to Restricted Shares, the number of shares to which the Participant is then entitled shall be delivered to the Participant free and clear of the restrictions, either in certificated or uncertificated form. No shares of Common Stock shall be registered in the name of the Participant with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit unless and until such unit is paid in shares of Common Stock.

Grants. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, Performance Awards may be granted to Eligible Persons. Performance Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to other Awards made under the Plan.

 

 

(ii)

Performance Goals. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Performance Awards shall be conditioned on the achievement of Performance Goals (which shall be based on one or more Performance Measures, as determined by the Committee) over a Performance Period. The Performance Period shall be one year, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, provided that the Restriction Period for Performance Awards (not including Options, SARs or Awards covered by Section 5(a)(iv)) shall be for a minimum of three years, subject to acceleration due to the Participant’s death or total disability, in each case as specified in the applicable award agreement.

 

 

(iii)

Performance Measures. The Performance Measure(s) to be used for purposes of Performance Awards may be described in terms of objectives that are related to the individual Participant or objectives that are Company-wide or related to a subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit of the Company, and may consist of one or more or any combination of the following criteria: stock price; market share; sales revenue; cash flow; sales volume; earnings per share; return on equity; return on assets; return on sales; return on invested capital; economic value added; net earnings; total shareholder return; gross margin; and costs.

(v)

Extraordinary Events. At, or at any time after, the time an Award is granted, and to the extent permitted under Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder without adversely affecting the treatment of the Award under the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee, in its sole

 

10


 

discretion, may provide for the manner in which performance will be measured against the Performance Goals (or may adjust the Performance Goals) to reflect the impact of specific corporate transactions, accounting or tax law changes and other extraordinary and nonrecurring events.

 

 

(vi)

Performance-Based Exception. With respect to any Award that is intended to satisfy the conditions for the Performance-Based Exception under Code Section 162(m): (A) the Committee shall interpret the Plan and this Section 7(d) in light of Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder; (B) the Committee shall have no discretion to amend the Award in any way that would adversely affect the treatment of the Award under Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder; and (C) such Award shall not be paid until the Committee shall first have certified that the Performance Goals have been achieved.

 

 

(e)

Stock Awards.

 

 

(i)

Grants. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, Stock Awards consisting of shares of Common Stock may be granted pursuant to this Section 7(e) only to Eligible Persons who are consultants or advisors to the Company and may not be granted to employees of the Company (including Employee Directors).

(ii)

Terms and Conditions. The shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Award shall be immediately vested at the time of grant and nonforfeitable at all times but shall be subject to such other terms and conditions, including restrictions on transferability, as determined by the Committee in its discretion subject to Section 5(a)(iv) and the other provisions of the Plan. The shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Award shall be registered in the name of the Participant.

 

8.

Awards to Non-Employee Directors.

 

 

(a)

Sole Awards. Notwithstanding anything in the other sections of the Plan to the contrary, Non-Employee Directors are eligible to receive only Awards authorized by this Section 8.

(c)

Terms of Initial Grants to Non-Employee Directors.

 

 

(i)

Shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Award granted to a Non-Employee Director shall be immediately vested at the time of grant and nonforfeitable at all times.

11


 

permitted by the Committee). In order to enforce the limitations imposed upon such shares of Common Stock, the Committee may (a) cause a legend or legends to be placed on any certificates evidencing such shares, and/or (b) cause “stop transfer” instructions to be issued, as it deems necessary or appropriate.

 

 

(ii)

Non-Employee Directors who hold shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Award granted under this Section 8 shall have the right to receive dividends in cash or other property and shall have the right to vote such shares as the record owners thereof; provided that any securities of the Company that are distributed to a Non-Employee Director shall be subject to the same transfer restrictions that apply to such shares of Common Stock.

Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may determine that all or a portion of any Award to a Participant, whether it is to be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, shall be deferred or may, in its sole discretion, approve deferral elections made by Participants. Deferrals shall be for such periods and upon such terms as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, which terms shall be designed to comply with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, deferral of Option or SAR gains shall not be permitted under the Plan.

 

10.

Dilution and Other Adjustments.

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares or other change in corporate structure affecting any class of Common Stock, the Committee shall make such adjustments in the class and aggregate number of shares which may be delivered under the Plan as described in Section 5, the individual award maximums under Section 6, the class, number, and Option Exercise Price of outstanding Options, the class number and exercise price of outstanding SARs and the class and number of shares subject to any other Awards granted under the Plan (provided the number of shares of any class subject to any Award shall always be a whole number), as may be, and to such extent (if any), determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee, and any such adjustment may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, take the form of Options covering more than one class of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

 

11.

Change in Control.

 

 

(a)

Impact of Event. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control:

 

 

(i)

If and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan (A) are assumed by the successor corporation (or affiliate thereto) or (B) are replaced with equity awards that preserve the existing value of the Awards at the time of the Change in Control and provide for subsequent payout in accordance with a vesting schedule and Performance Goals, as applicable, that are the same or more favorable to the Participants than the vesting schedule and Performance Goals applicable to the Awards, then all such Awards or such substitutes thereof shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms and the provisions of the Plan subject to Section 11(a)(iv) below.

 

 

(ii)

If and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan are not assumed or replaced in accordance with Section 11(a)(i) above, then upon the Change in Control the following treatment (referred to as “Change-in-

 

12


 

Control Treatment”) shall apply to such Awards: (A) outstanding Options and SARs shall immediately vest and become exercisable; (B) the restrictions and other conditions applicable to outstanding Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units and Stock Awards, including vesting requirements, shall immediately lapse; such Awards shall be free of all restrictions and fully vested; and, with respect to Restricted Stock Units, shall be payable immediately in accordance with their terms or, if later, as of the earliest permissible date under Code Section 409A; and (C) outstanding Performance Awards granted under the Plan shall immediately vest and shall become immediately payable in accordance with their terms as if 100% of the Performance Goals have been achieved.

 

 

(iii)

If and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan are not assumed or replaced in accordance with Section 11(a)(i) above, then in connection with the application of the Change-in-Control Treatment set forth in Section 11(a)(ii) above, the Board may, in its sole discretion, provide for cancellation of such outstanding Awards at the time of the Change in Control in which case a payment of cash, property or a combination thereof shall be made to each such Participant upon the consummation of the Change in Control that is determined by the Board in its sole discretion and that is at least equal to the excess (if any) of the value of the consideration that would be received in such Change in Control by the holders of PepsiCo’s securities relating to such Awards over the exercise or purchase price (if any) for such Awards.

 

 

(iv)

If and to the extent that (A) outstanding Awards are assumed or replaced in accordance with Section 11(a)(i) above and (B) a Participant’s employment with, or performance of services for, the Company is terminated by the Company for any reasons other than Cause or by such Participant for Good Reason, in each case, within the two-year period commencing on the Change in Control, then, as of the date of such Participant’s termination, the Change-in-Control Treatment set forth in Section 11(a)(ii) above shall apply to all assumed or replaced Awards of such Participant then outstanding.

 

 

(v)

Outstanding Options or SARs that are assumed or replaced in accordance with Section 11(a)(i) may be exercised by the Participant in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of such Award as set forth in the applicable award agreement or elsewhere; provided, however, that Options or SARs that become exercisable in accordance with Section 11(a)(iv) may be exercised until the expiration of the original full term of such Option or SAR notwithstanding the other original terms and conditions of such Award.

 

 

(b)

Definitions.

(ii)

For purposes of this Section 11, “Cause” means with respect to any Participant, unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, (A) the Participant’s willful misconduct that materially injures the Company; (B) the Participant’s conviction of a felony or a plea of nolo contendere by Participant with respect to a felony; or (C) the Participant’s continued failure to substantially perform his or her duties with the Company (other than by reason of the Participant’s disability) after written demand by the Company that identifies the manner in which the Company believes that the Participant has not performed his or her duties. A termination for Cause must be communicated to the Participant by written notice that specifies the event or events claimed to provide a basis for termination for Cause.

 

 

(iii)

For purposes of this Section 11, “Good Reason” means with respect to any Participant, unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, without the Participant’s written consent, (A) the Company’s requiring the Participant’s principal place of employment to be based at any location in excess of thirty-five (35) miles from his or her primary place of employment as it existed immediately prior to the Change in Control except for reasonably required travel on the Company’s business that is not greater than such travel requirements prior to the Change in Control; (B) a reduction in the Participant’s base salary or wage rate or target annual or long-term cash incentive opportunities as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control (other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure that is promptly remedied by the Company upon notice from the Participant) or failure to provide compensation and benefits that are substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided for by the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control; or (C) a material reduction in the Participant’s job responsibilities, position or duties with the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. A termination for Good Reason must be communicated to the Company by written notice that specifies the event or events claimed to provide a basis for termination for Good Reason; provided that the Participant’s written notice must be tendered within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such event or events.

 

12.

Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

 

(a)

Misconduct. Except as otherwise provided in agreements covering Awards hereunder, a Participant shall forfeit all rights in his or her outstanding Awards under the Plan, and all such outstanding Awards shall automatically terminate and lapse, if the Committee determines that such Participant has (i) used for profit or disclosed to unauthorized persons, confidential information or trade secrets of the Company, (ii) breached any contract with or violated any fiduciary obligation to the Company, including without limitation, a violation of any Company code of conduct, (iii) engaged in unlawful trading in the securities of PepsiCo or of another company based on information gained as a result of that Participant’s employment or other relationship with the Company, or (iv) committed a felony or other serious crime.

 

 

(b)

Rights as Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall

 

14


 

have no rights as a holder of Common Stock with respect to Awards hereunder, unless and until the shares of Common Stock have been registered to the Participant as the owner.

 

 

(c)

No Loans. No loans from the Company to Participants shall be permitted in connection with the Plan.

 

 

(d)

Assignment or Transfer. Except as otherwise provided under the Plan, no Award under the Plan or any rights or interests therein shall be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide that an Award (other than an ISO) is transferable without the payment of any consideration to a Participant’s family member, whether directly or by means of a trust or otherwise, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose. For this purpose, “family member” has the meaning given to such term in the General Instructions to the Form S-8 registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933. All Awards under the Plan shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant or a person who is a permitted transferee pursuant to this Section 12(d). Once awarded, the shares of Common Stock (other than Restricted Shares) received by Participants may be freely transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise subjected to lien, subject to: (i) the transfer restrictions in Sections 7(e)(ii) and 8(c)(i) above; and (ii) the restrictions imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, Section 16 of the Exchange Act and PepsiCo’s Insider Trading Policy, each as amended from time to time.

 

 

(e)

Withholding Taxes. PepsiCo shall have the right to deduct from all Awards paid in cash to a Participant any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such Awards. All statutory minimum applicable withholding taxes arising with respect to Awards paid in shares of Common Stock to a Participant shall be satisfied by PepsiCo retaining shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined that is equal to the amount of such statutory minimum applicable withholding tax (rounded, if necessary, to the next highest whole number of shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that, subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee deems appropriate, a Participant may elect to satisfy such statutory minimum applicable withholding tax through cash or cash proceeds.

 

 

(f)

Currency and Other Restrictions. The obligations of the Company to make delivery of Awards in cash or Common Stock shall be subject to currency or other restrictions imposed by any governmental authority or regulatory body having jurisdiction over such Awards.

 

 

(g)

No Rights to Awards. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any person any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company, and the Plan shall not interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any person’s employment or service at any time. Except as set forth herein, no employee or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan. By accepting an Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Award will be exclusively governed by the terms of the Plan, including the right reserved by the Company to amend or cancel the Plan at any time without the Company incurring liability to the Participant (except, to the extent the terms of the Award so provide, for Awards already granted under the Plan), (ii) Awards are not a constituent part of salary and the Participant is not entitled, under the terms and conditions of employment, or by accepting or being granted Awards under the Plan to require Awards to be granted to him or her in the future under the Plan or any other plan, (iii) the value of Awards received under the Plan shall be excluded from the calculation of termination indemnities or other severance payments or benefits, and (iv) the Participant shall

 

15


 

seek all necessary approval under, make all required notifications under, and comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the ownership of Options and shares of Common Stock and the exercise of Options, including, without limitation, currency and exchange laws, rules and regulations.

 

 

(h)

Beneficiary Designation. To the extent allowed by the Committee, each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named on a contingent or successive basis) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

 

 

(i)

Costs and Expenses. The cost and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by PepsiCo and not charged to any Award or to any Participant.

 

 

(j)

Fractional Shares. Fractional shares of Common Stock shall not be issued or transferred under an Award, but the Committee may direct that cash be paid in lieu of fractional shares or may round off fraction shares, in its discretion.

 

 

(k)

Funding of Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded and any benefits under the Plan shall represent an unsecured promise to pay by the Company. PepsiCo shall not be required to establish or fund any special or separate account or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Award under the Plan and the existence of any such account or other segregation of assets shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan.

 

 

(l)

Indemnification. Provisions for the indemnification of officers and directors of the Company in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be as set forth in PepsiCo’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws as in effect from time to time.

 

 

(m)

Successors. All obligations of PepsiCo under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to PepsiCo, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of PepsiCo.

 

 

(n)

Compliance with Code Section 409A. The Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A and any regulations or guidance that may be adopted thereunder from time to time, including any transition relief available under applicable guidance related to Code Section 409A. Pursuant to Section 13(b), the Plan may be amended or interpreted by the Committee as it determines necessary or appropriate in accordance with Code Section 409A and to avoid a plan failure under Code Section 409A(a)(1).

 

13.

Effective Date, Governing Law, Amendments and Termination.

 

 

(a)

Effective Date. The Plan was approved by the Board on February 2, 2007 and shall become effective on the date it is approved by PepsiCo’s shareholders.

 

 

(b)

Amendments. The Committee or the Board may at any time terminate or from time to time amend the Plan in whole or in part, but no such action shall adversely affect any rights or obligations with respect to any Awards granted prior to the date of such termination or amendment without the consent of the affected Participant except to the extent that the Committee reasonably determines that such

 

16


 

termination or amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law (including the provisions of Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder pertaining to the deferral of compensation) or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which Common Stock is listed or quoted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless PepsiCo’s shareholders shall have first approved the amendment, no amendment of the Plan shall be effective if the amendment would (i) increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered under the Plan or to any one individual (except to the extent such amendment is made pursuant to Section 10 hereof), (ii) extend the maximum period during which Awards may be granted under the Plan, (iii) add to the types of awards that can be made under the Plan, (iv) change the Performance Measures pursuant to which Performance Awards are earned, (v) modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan, (vi) decrease the grant or exercise price of any Option or SAR to less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant; or (vii) require shareholder approval pursuant to the Plan or applicable law or the rules of the principal securities exchange on which shares of Common Stock are traded in order to be effective.

 

 

(c)

Governing Law. All questions pertaining to the construction, interpretation, regulation, validity and effect of the provisions of the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina without giving effect to conflict of laws principles.

 

 

(d)

Termination. No Awards shall be made under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date on which PepsiCo’s shareholders approve the Plan.

1st Amendment to the PepsiCo Director Deferral Program, effective Sept. 13, 2007

EXHIBIT 10.3

First Amendment to the PepsiCo Director Deferral Program

(effective September 13, 2007)

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of PepsiCo, Inc. (the “Company”) has previously adopted the PepsiCo Director Deferral Program (the “Plan”);

WHEREAS, on September 13, 2007, the Board established that a portion of the annual compensation for each of the Company’s non-employee directors shall be paid in the form of an award of phantom units of PepsiCo Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, effective with the 2007 annual compensation award to non-employee directors on October 1, 2007;

WHEREAS, the Plan is hereby amended as set forth below in order to implement such award of phantom units; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Plan;

NOW THEREFORE, effective as of the date hereof, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:

1. Article II is hereby amended by adding the following Section 2.06(2) to Article II:

2.06(2) Compensation Year:

The 12-month period of time for which Directors are compensated for their services on the Board, commencing with the annual retainer payable on October 1 in one calendar year and concluding on September 30 of the following calendar year.

2. Section 3.01(c) is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

(c) Each Eligible Director becomes an active Participant on the date an amount is first withheld from his or her compensation pursuant to an Election Form submitted by the Director to the Plan Administrator under Section 4.01 or on the date a Mandatory Deferral is first credited to the Eligible Director pursuant to Section 4.05.

3. Article IV is hereby amended by adding the following Section 4.05 to the end of Article IV:

4.05 Mandatory Deferrals:

(a) General. As provided in this Section, the Board of Directors of the Company may require that Director Compensation be deferred under the Plan. Such portion of an Eligible Director’s Director Compensation for a Compensation Year that the Board of Directors of the Company requires to be deferred under this Section 4.05

 

1


shall be referred to as a “Mandatory Deferral.”

(b) Time for Committee’s Determination. To be effective hereunder, any determination by the Board of Directors of the Company to require a Mandatory Deferral of a portion of an Eligible Director’s Director Compensation for a Compensation Year must be made no later than the December 31 immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Eligible Director performs the services to which such Director Compensation relates (or, to the extent the Eligible Director is not permitted to make any payment election with respect to such Mandatory Deferral and it would result in a later deadline, no later than the time the Eligible Director first has a legally binding right to such Director Compensation). As of such date or time, the determination by the Board of Directors of the Company to require the deferral of the Director Compensation shall be irrevocable. Any Mandatory Deferral for a Compensation Year shall be credited to a separate Deferral Subaccount for such Compensation Year.

(c) Current Mandatory Deferrals. Pursuant to a September 13, 2007 resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, a Mandatory Deferral of $150,000 shall be credited as of October 1 of each Compensation Year to each individual who is an Eligible Director on such October 1, commencing with a Mandatory Deferral on October 1, 2007; provided that (1) a Director newly appointed or elected during a Compensation Year shall be credited with a pro-rated Mandatory Deferral as of the commencement date of his or her status as a Director, with such pro-rated amount determined by multiplying the Mandatory Deferral for the current Compensation Year by the ratio of the number of full and partial quarters remaining during the Compensation Year as of such commencement date over four and (2) the Board of Directors of the Company retains the discretion to change the amount subject to Mandatory Deferral or eliminate Mandatory Deferrals entirely with respect to Compensation Years after the 2007-2008 Compensation Year. At the same time, any such discretion shall not alter the determination to defer Director Compensation to the extent such determination has become irrevocable with respect to specific Director Compensation in accordance with subsection (b) above. However, the preceding sentence shall not limit the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors to forfeit outright specific Director Compensation.

(d) Time and Form of Payment. Each Mandatory Deferral shall be distributed in accordance with Section 6.07. The Eligible Director shall specify the form of payment of each of his or her Mandatory Deferrals by designating either a lump sum payment or annual installment payments to be paid over a period of 5 years but not later than the Eligible Director’s 80th birthday; provided that no such election shall be permitted for the Mandatory Deferral on October 1, 2007 or any potential pro-rated Mandatory Deferral during 2007 to a new Director. An Eligible Director shall make such election with respect to a Mandatory Deferral no later than December 31 immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Eligible Director provides the services to which the Mandatory Deferral relates (although the Plan Administrator may adopt policies that encourage or require earlier submission of election forms). If an Eligible Director does not (or is not permitted to) make a form of payment election for a Mandatory Deferral, the Mandatory Deferral shall be paid in a lump sum. If the Eligible Director elects installment payments and the installments would otherwise extend beyond the Eligible Director’s 80th birthday, such election shall be treated as an election for installments over

 

2


a period of whole and partial years that ends on the Eligible Director’s 80th birthday, provided that (1) the amounts to be distributed in connection with the installments prior to the Eligible Director’s 80th birthday shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.08 by assuming that the installments shall continue for the full number of installments and (2) the remaining balance shall be distributed on the Eligible Director’s 80th birthday. The Eligible Director shall be entitled to elect to change the time and form of payment in accordance with Section 4.04 only to the extent expressly permitted by the Board of Directors.

4. Section 6.03 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph (d) to the end of Section 6.03:

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 6.03, with respect to Mandatory Deferrals, if a Participant incurs a Separation from Service (other than as a result of Disability or death), the Participant’s total Account balance with respect to Mandatory Deferrals shall be distributed as soon as administratively practicable following the first day of the calendar quarter beginning after the first anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service.

5. Article VI is hereby amended by adding the following Section 6.10 to the end of Article VI:

6.10 Distributions of Mandatory Deferrals:

This Section 6.10 shall govern the distribution of all Mandatory Deferrals under the Plan. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.10, a Participant’s Deferral Subaccount(s) for Mandatory Deferrals shall be distributed upon the earliest of the following to occur:

(a) The Participant’s Separation from Service (other than on account of a Disability or death) pursuant to the distribution rules of Section 6.03;

(b) The Participant’s death pursuant to the distribution rules of Section 6.04;

(c) The Participant’s Disability pursuant to the distribution rules of Section 6.06; or

(d) The occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency with respect to the Participant pursuant to the distribution rules of Section 6.07.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company may specify different terms for the distribution of Mandatory Deferrals. Such specification may always occur not later than when the Mandatory Deferral becomes irrevocable under Section 4.05(c). Such specification may also occur later, but only to the extent that such later specification satisfies the requirements of Section 4.04 (as if it were an election by the Participant). In addition, to the extent expressly permitted by the Board of Directors, the Participant may make an election under Section 4.04.
