Capital Stock.
BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD. PepsiCo's Board held six
regular meetings and one telephonic meeting during the year. Because of its
compact, independent structure, the Board does not operate through a variety of
Committees and all outside directors serve on the two existing committees. The
full Board deals with matters such as nominations for Board membership or issues
raised by shareholders.
The Audit Committee, which was established in 1967, held two meetings in
1996. The Committee reviews external and internal audit plans and activities,
our annual financial statements,
5
and our system of internal financial controls. The Audit Committee approves the
fees for audit, audit-related and nonaudit services provided by the independent
auditors, and recommends to the Board the annual selection of independent
auditors.
The Compensation Committee, which has been active since 1955, held four
meetings during 1996. The Compensation Committee administers PepsiCo's incentive
plans, sets policies that govern executives' annual compensation and long-term
incentives, and reviews management performance, development and succession.
Average attendance by incumbent directors at Board and Committee meetings
was approximately 93%. No incumbent director attended fewer than 75% of the
total number of Board and Committee meetings.
DIRECTORS COMPENSATION. Directors who are employees receive no additional
pay for serving as directors. All other directors receive annual retainers of
$70,000 and an annual grant of options to buy $120,000 worth of PepsiCo Capital
Stock. Directors may convert up to $90,000 of their option grant into PepsiCo
Capital Stock at a ratio of three options for one share. Directors may also
defer payment of their retainers and stock grants. If the stock grant is
deferred, the only investment option available is PepsiCo Capital Stock
equivalents, payable in cash. Deferrals may not be made for less than one year.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
Executive Pay Policy
PepsiCo's executive compensation programs are designed to enable it to
recruit, retain and motivate a large group of talented and diverse domestic and
international executives. This is essential for PepsiCo to achieve its
challenging worldwide performance objectives and to continue to achieve
outstanding shareholder returns. As a result, the Committee has determined that
executive compensation opportunities, including those for PepsiCo's Chief
Executive Officer ("CEO"), should create incentives for superior performance and
consequences for below target performance.
The Compensation Committee annually examines short-term and long-term
compensation levels for the CEO and other senior executives against a survey of
the compensation practices of a group of leading consumer product companies.
This review is validated against surveys of the compensation practices of a
broader range of major companies, including the Fortune 50. Together these
companies are referred to as the "survey companies." These reviews also compare
PepsiCo's short and long-term results with the performance of the survey
companies, to ensure a pay for performance linkage. The survey companies include
some, but not all, of the companies covered in the Standard & Poor's 500
Beverage, Food and Restaurant Indices included on the Performance Graph on page
12.
The Committee believes that our executive compensation programs have met
their objectives. PepsiCo has been able to attract and retain the executive
talent necessary to support a corporation which has more than doubled its sales
over the last seven years, while providing superior shareholder returns over
that period.
6
Specific Compensation Programs
PepsiCo's executive compensation mix includes a base salary, annual cash
bonus awards, and long-term incentive compensation in the form of performance
units and stock options. Overall, these programs are intended to be
performance-oriented, with the principal portion of executive compensation
opportunities tied to achievement of annual objectives and long-term shareholder
returns. It is the Committee's intention that substantially all executive
compensation be deductible for federal income tax purposes.
Salary ranges for the CEO and the other executive officers are based on the
underlying accountabilities of each executive's position, which are reviewed on
a regular basis and benchmarked against similar positions among the survey
companies. These salary ranges are targeted at the upper end of salaries for
similar positions at the survey companies; however, individual salaries are
capped at $1 million.
Bonus awards for PepsiCo's CEO and executive officers are paid based on
PepsiCo's overall performance against specified earnings growth targets set in
advance in accordance with the shareholder approved 1994 Executive Incentive
Compensation Plan. The amount of the award an executive is eligible to receive
will increase if higher earnings per share targets are achieved. No payment will
be made if the minimum earnings target is not met. Once those earnings targets
are achieved, the Committee exercises its discretion to determine the exact
amount of the bonus to be paid to each executive officer. In determining the
bonus of executive officers other than the CEO, the Committee considers
PepsiCo's performance as well as subjective personal factors such as quality of
strategic plans, organizational and management development and special project
or idea leadership. The CEO's bonus is based on the Committee's subjective
assessment of a broad range of performance measures, including PepsiCo's
financial results, strategic position, market share and performance compared to
the broad range of major companies included in the survey companies.
Long-term awards, made under the shareholder approved 1994 Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"), have generally been granted every other year in the
form of performance units and stock options. Pro rata and special awards may be
made off-cycle to participants who are promoted or newly hired. Performance
units are paid after four years based on achieving earnings per share growth
targets set in advance by the Committee. Stock options are granted at market
value on the date of grant and increase in value only to the extent of
appreciation in PepsiCo's Capital Stock. Most become exercisable at the end of
four years, and are exercisable thereafter for six years. PepsiCo's CEO and, in
general, other executive officers are given the opportunity to choose the mix of
performance units and stock options in their long-term awards. Most executives
have elected 100% stock options.
PepsiCo's executives may also participate in the Company's benefit
programs, including the Company's retirement plans, its medical, savings and
other benefit plans and its SharePower Stock Option Plan, under which all
full-time employees receive annual grants of options to purchase shares of
PepsiCo stock equal in amount to 10% of that individual's previous year's salary
and bonus. Executive officers receive their annual SharePower awards under the
LTIP. In addition, executives are eligible to participate in the Company's
income deferral programs.
Performance Evaluation
In April 1996, Roger A. Enrico succeeded D. Wayne Calloway as CEO.
References to CEO in this section apply to both individuals. The Committee meets
without the CEO to evaluate his performance, and with the CEO to evaluate the
performance of other executive officers. The 1996 salaries, bonuses and
long-term incentive awards for the corporation's CEO and executive officers set
forth on page 8 were reviewed and approved at meetings of the Compensation
Committee held during 1996 and in January 1997.
7
Decisions on executive officers' salaries and salary increases were based
on individual performance evaluations. As described above, decisions on senior
executive officers' bonus awards were based on PepsiCo's performance against
established earnings targets and on individual performance.
The salary of each CEO in 1996 was less than $1 million. Reimbursement for
relocation expenses incurred by Mr. Enrico in connection with assumption of his
new responsibilities are not included as salary. The primary performance
measures used to determine the CEO's 1996 bonus award were earnings results, the
strength of PepsiCo's strategic position and its five-year earnings per share
growth and total return to shareholders as compared to the survey companies. The
overall performance measures were not assigned specific weights, but rather were
weighted subjectively by each member of the Compensation Committee. PepsiCo's
fiscal 1996 earnings per share growth (before one time charges) declined 5%.
Long-term incentive awards were made to the CEO and to other executive
officers last year. These included special awards to Messrs. Enrico, Reinemund
and Weatherup. The level of long-term incentive awards are based on comparisons
with awards at the survey companies. These long-term awards, which are intended
as incentives for future performance and are not based on past corporate
performance, are targeted at the upper end of awards for similar positions at
the survey companies.
The Performance Graph on page 12 compares PepsiCo's five year cumulative
total return to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and the Standard & Poor's
500 Beverage, Food and Restaurant Indices. PepsiCo's compounded annual total
shareholder return for the five years ended December 28, 1996 was 13.6%.

The pay covered by the Pension Plans noted below is based on the salary and
bonus shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 8 for each of the above
executive officers. The years of credited service as of January 1, 1997 for the
executive officers named on the Summary Compensation Table are as follows: Wayne
Calloway -- 30 years; Roger A. Enrico -- 25 years; Steven S Reinemund -- 12
years; Craig E. Weatherup -- 22 years; Robert L. Carleton -- 22 years and Edward
V. Lahey, Jr. -- 31 years.
Computation of Benefits. PepsiCo's executive officers participate in
PepsiCo's Retirement Plan and PepsiCo's Pension Equalization Plan (which was
adopted in 1975 to provide benefits that would have been payable under the
Retirement Plan except for ERISA limitations). The annual benefits payable under
these two Pension Plans to employees with 5 or more years of service at age 65
are, for the first 10 years of credited service, 30% of the employee's highest
consecutive five-year average annual earnings plus an additional 1% of the
employee's highest consecutive five-year average annual earnings for each
additional year of credited service over 10 years, less .43% of final average
earnings not to exceed Social Security covered compensation multiplied by years
of service (not to exceed 35 years).
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE. A Securities and
Exchange Commission Form 4 was not filed on time to report one stock purchase by
Dr. P. Roy Vagelos. Once the omission was discovered, a Form 4 was promptly
filed.
APPROVAL OF AUDITORS (PROXY ITEM NO. 2)
The Audit Committee recommended that KPMG Peat Marwick LLP continue as
PepsiCo's independent auditors for 1997. They have been PepsiCo's independent
auditors since 1990. They were paid approximately $9.4 million for audit and
audit-related services rendered for 1996. Representatives of KPMG Peat Marwick
LLP will be available to answer questions at the Annual Meeting and are free to
make statements during the meeting.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THIS
RESOLUTION.
SHAREHOLDERS' PROPOSALS
If proposals are submitted by more than one shareholder, PepsiCo will only
list the primary filer's name, address and number of shares held. We will
provide oral or written information about co-filers promptly if we receive an
oral or written request for the information.
Election of President and COO (Proxy Item No. 3)
------------------------------------------------
Mrs. Evelyn Y. Davis, of the Watergate Office Building, 2600 Virginia
Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037, who owns 900 shares of PepsiCo Capital
Stock, has advised PepsiCo that she intends to introduce the following
resolution for the reasons stated:
"RESOLVED: That the stockholders of PepsiCo recommend that the Board of
Directors take the necessary steps to appoint a President and Chief
Operating Officer of the parent company.
REASONS: We do have a CEO of PepsiCo as well as several presidents of
subsidiary companies. A company of the size and stature of PepsiCo ought to
have a defined number two man as well as a number one man. Now is the time
for the Board to appoint number two. Waiting
14
any longer is, in our opinion, not in the best interests of the corporation
and its stockholders. Uncertainty about succession should be cleared up now.
If you AGREE, please mark your proxy FOR this proposal."
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSE: Your Board of Directors does not believe that
either the Corporation's operations or succession planning require appointment
of a President or Chief Operating Officer. There are several well qualified
senior executives responsible for the Corporation's principal businesses and
financial matters. This is an effective system for managing the Corporation's
business and affairs and provides ample support to Mr. Enrico, who was appointed
CEO less than one year ago.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE AGAINST THIS
RESOLUTION.
Cumulative Voting (Proxy Item No. 4)
------------------------------------
John J. Gilbert, 29 East 64th Street, New York, New York 10021-7043, who
owns 1,536 shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock, has advised PepsiCo of his intention
to introduce from the floor the following resolution for the reasons stated:
"RESOLVED: That the stockholders of PepsiCo, Inc., assembled in annual
meeting in person and by proxy, hereby request the Board of Directors to
take the steps necessary to provide for cumulative voting in the election
of directors, which means each stockholder shall be entitled to as many
votes as shall equal the number of shares he or she owns multiplied by the
number of directors to be elected, and he or she may cast all of such votes
for a single candidate, or any two or more of them as he or she may see
fit.
REASONS: Continued strong support along the lines we suggest were shown
at the last annual meeting when 27.26%, an increase over the previous year,
11,649 owners of 157,086,870 shares, were cast in favor of this proposal.
The vote against included 12,729 unmarked proxies.
A California law provides that all state pension holdings and state
college funds, invested in shares must be voted in favor of cumulative
voting proposals, showing increasing recognition of the importance of this
democratic means of electing directors.
The National Bank Act provides for cumulative voting. In many cases
companies get around it by forming holding companies without cumulative
voting. Banking authorities have the right to question the capability of
directors to be on banking boards. In many cases authorities come in after
and say the director or directors were not qualified. We were delighted to
see the SEC has finally taken action to prevent bad directors from being on
boards of public companies. The SEC should have hearings to prevent such
persons becoming directors before they harm investors.
With all the troubles Pepsi is having it is all the more reason to have
cumulative voting to bring about directors who may be able to help. When
Alaska became a state it took away cumulative voting over our objections.
The Valdez oil spill might have been prevented if environmental directors
were elected through cumulative voting. The huge derivative losses might
have also been prevented with cumulative voting.
Many successful corporations have cumulative voting. Example, Pennzoil
defeated Texaco in that famous case. Ingersoll-Rand, also having cumulative
voting, won two awards. FORTUNE magazine ranked it second in its industry
as 'America's Most Admired Corporations' and the WALL STREET TRANSCRIPT
noted 'on almost any criteria used to evaluate management, Ingersoll-Rand
excels.' In 1994 and 1995 they raised their dividend.
15
Lockheed-Martin, as well as VWR Corporation now have a provision that
if anyone has 40% or more of the shares cumulative voting applies, it does
apply at the latter company.
In 1995 American Premier adopted cumulative voting. Allegheny Power
System tried to take away cumulative voting, as well as put in a stagger
system, and stockholders defeated it, showing stockholders are interested
in their rights.
If you agree, please mark your proxy FOR this resolution; otherwise it
is automatically cast against it, unless you have marked to abstain."
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSE: Resolutions about cumulative voting submitted
by this shareholder at previous annual meetings have been defeated by a wide
margin. The present system of voting for the election of directors, under which
the holders of a majority of the shares elect a Board representing all
shareholders, has served well and avoids the conflict created where a director
is elected by a narrow constituency.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE AGAINST THIS
RESOLUTION.
Cap Non-Performance-Based Executive Compensation at $1 Million (Proxy Item No.5)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters General Fund, 25 Louisiana
Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001, which owns 100 shares of PepsiCo Capital
Stock, has submitted the following resolution for the reasons stated:
"Resolved: That the shareholders of PepsiCo, Inc. request that the
Board of Directors establish a policy that no executive will be compensated
more than $1 million per year, regardless of when such compensation is
paid, unless the compensation is paid in accordance with a
performance-based plan disclosed to shareholders and approved by a majority
of the vote in a separate shareholder vote before the payment of the
compensation.
Supporting Statement:
Recently the New York Times ran an investigative series which focused
on deferred compensation which can be a detriment to shareholders in a
number of ways.
Deferred compensation can obscure the exact extent of compensation. Too
often, all references to deferred compensation are to be found in the
footnotes. For example, in Pepsi's proxy a footnote explains that in 1995
Mr. Dettmer earned "$199,967 [in] preferential earnings on income" which he
had deferred since 1978. It is unclear what interest rate is being earned.
The proxy also notes, in another footnote, that in 1994 Mr. Enrico deferred
$1,340,036.
Deferred compensation can also prevent shareholders from exercising
their right to vote on certain compensation plans. Internal Revenue Code
Section 162(m) which eliminated the business expense deduction for annual
compensation of over $1 million, with some exceptions, was designed to give
shareholders the ability to rein in excessive executive compensation. In
approving this law, Congress did not declare that executives be paid less
than $1 million. Rather, Congress said that shareholders must approve
performance-based compensation package of more than $1 million to preserve
tax advantages.
16
One loophole corporate lawyers have exploited to avoid paying taxes and
at the same time to avoid seeking shareholder approval has been to put
ever-increasing amounts in deferred compensation. This seems to circumvent
part of the intent of the IRS Code by depriving shareholders of their
prerogative to vote.
Board members are closest to executive performance, yet Pepsi's unusual
board and committee structure may serve to create a board that is
disinclined to challenge such packages. The fact that there is no
independent nominating committee, for example, allows executives a great
deal of power in selecting who will make compensation decisions. The
current compensation committee is made up of a number of executives and
former executives, who themselves have faced criticism for their pay
packages. Deferred compensation should not be used as a way to obscure
compensation figures or to deprive shareholders of their right to make such
decisions.
For the above reasons we urge you to vote FOR the proposal."
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSE: As shown on page 8, all of PepsiCo's senior
executives are paid non-performance based compensation--a salary--of less than
$1 million. All bonus and long-term incentives paid to executive officers are
tied to performance-based compensation plans approved by shareholders in 1987
and 1994.
The deferrals referred to by the Teamsters General Fund relate to a payment
election made by a former executive officer in 1977 with respect to a long-term
performance-based award, and a 1993 deferral election made by Mr. Enrico with
respect to a long-term performance-based award made to him in 1990. Contrary to
the Teamsters proposal, payments of these deferrals are fully deductible and are
not inconsistent in any way with the plans approved by shareholders.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE AGAINST THIS
RESOLUTION.
OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be brought before the
Meeting. If matters other than the ones listed in this Proxy Statement arise at
the Meeting, the persons named in the proxy will vote the shares represented by
the proxy according to their judgment.
QUORUM AND VOTING
QUORUM. Under North Carolina law, abstentions and broker nonvotes are
counted to determine whether a quorum is present at the Meeting. (Under New York
Stock Exchange rules, a broker may, if the broker does not have instruction from
a beneficial owner, vote shares on routine proposals. A broker does not have
discretionary voting power with respect to nonroutine proposals, such as a
merger. If the broker has not received voting instructions regarding nonroutine
proposals from the beneficial owner, the broker cannot vote on those proposals.
This is referred to as a broker nonvote.)
17
VOTING. Any shareholder returning a proxy may revoke it by casting a ballot
at the Meeting. Any proxy not revoked will be voted as specified by the
shareholder. If no choice is indicated, a proxy will be voted in accordance with
the Board of Directors' recommendations.
Under PepsiCo's By-Laws, a majority of the shares of Capital Stock present
in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required for passage of a proposal
(except for the election of directors, which requires a majority of votes cast
to elect). Therefore, abstentions are not counted as "for" or "against" votes,
but are counted in the total number of votes present and entitled to vote for
passage of a proposal. This has the effect of requiring a higher vote for
passage. Broker nonvotes are not shares entitled to vote, are not counted in the
total number of votes, and they have no effect on the outcome of voting.
Shares held in PepsiCo's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") cannot
be voted unless a proxy card is signed and returned. If cards representing
shares held in the ESOP are not returned, the trustees will vote those shares in
the same proportion as the shares for which signed cards are returned by other
participants.
CONFIDENTIALITY. PepsiCo's policy is that proxies identifying individual
shareholders are private except as necessary to determine compliance with law or
assert or defend legal claims, or in a contested proxy solicitation, or in the
event that a shareholder makes a written comment on a proxy card or an
attachment to it. PepsiCo retains an independent organization to tabulate
shareholder votes and certify voting results.
1998 SHAREHOLDERS' PROPOSALS
PepsiCo welcomes comments or suggestions from its shareholders, including
any recommendations shareholders may have as to future directors of the Company.
If a shareholder wants to have a proposal formally considered at the 1998 Annual
Shareholders' Meeting, and included in the Proxy Statement for that Meeting, we
must receive the proposal in writing on or before November 27, 1997.
GENERAL
PepsiCo will pay the costs relating to this Proxy Statement, the proxy and
the Annual Meeting.
In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, PepsiCo intends to ask
brokers and bank nominees to solicit proxies from their principals and will pay
the brokers and bank nominees their expenses for the solicitation.
To be sure that we have the necessary quorum to hold the Annual Meeting,
PepsiCo has hired the firm of Georgeson & Company, Inc. to help in soliciting
proxies by mail, telephone, telegraph and personal interview for fees estimated
at approximately $21,000.
Employees of PepsiCo may also solicit proxies. They will not receive any
additional pay for the solicitation.
18
The Annual Report to Shareholders for 1996, which includes financial
statements, was mailed with this Proxy Statement or was previously delivered to
shareholders and is not part of the material for the solicitation of proxies. To
reduce postage costs, we sent materials at bulk mail rates. If you have not
received the Annual Report by the time you receive your Proxy Statement, please
write or call PepsiCo's Manager of Shareholder Relations, at PepsiCo, Inc.,
Purchase, NY 10577 or (914) 253-3055.
Please complete, sign, and date the enclosed proxy card, which can be
revoked by voting at the meeting, and mail it promptly in the enclosed
postage-paid envelope.
By order of the Board of Directors,
EDWARD V. LAHEY, JR.
