**Forward-Looking Statements**

*This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements reflecting our views about our future performance that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Reform Act).

All statements addressing our future operating performance, and statements addressing events and developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available information, operating plans and projections about future events and trends.

The discussion of risks in this report is by no means all-inclusive but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider when evaluating our future performance.*

**PART I**

**Item 1. Business.**

When used in this report, the terms "we," "us," "our," "PepsiCo" and the "Company" mean PepsiCo, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively. Certain terms used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are defined in the Glossary included in Item 7. of this report.

**Company Overview**

We were incorporated in Delaware in 1919 and reincorporated in North Carolina in 1986. We are a leading global beverage and convenient food company with a complementary portfolio of brands, including Lay's, Doritos, Cheetos, Gatorade, Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, Quaker and SodaStream.

PBNA operates its own bottling plants and distribution facilities and sells branded finished goods directly to independent distributors and retailers. PBNA also sells concentrate and finished goods for our brands to authorized and independent bottlers, who in turn sell our branded finished goods to independent distributors and retailers in certain markets. PBNA also, either independently or in conjunction with third parties, makes, markets, distributes and sells ready-to-drink tea and coffee products through joint ventures with Unilever (under the Lipton brand name) and Starbucks, respectively. Further, PBNA manufactures and distributes certain brands licensed from Keurig Dr Pepper Inc., including Crush, Dr Pepper and Schweppes, and certain juice brands licensed from Dole Food Company, Inc. and Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc. PBNA also distributes, in certain channels, brands owned by Celsius Holdings, Inc. (Celsius), including Celsius, Alani Nu and Rockstar.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

independently or in conjunction with third parties, makes, markets, distributes and sells ready-to-drink tea products through an international joint venture with Unilever (under the Lipton brand name).

Either independently or in conjunction with third parties, Asia Pacific Foods makes, markets, distributes and sells a number of convenient food brands including BaiCaoWei, Cheetos, Doritos, Kurkure, Lay's, Quaker and Smith's, through consolidated businesses, as well as through noncontrolled affiliates.

**Our Distribution Network**

Our products are primarily brought to market through DSD, customer warehouse and distributor networks and are also sold directly to consumers through e-commerce platforms and retailers. The distribution system used depends on customer needs, product characteristics and local trade practices.

***Direct-Store-Delivery***

We, our independent bottlers and our distributors operate DSD systems that deliver beverages and convenient foods directly to retail stores where the products are merchandised by our employees or our independent bottlers. DSD enables us to merchandise with maximum visibility and appeal. DSD is especially well-suited to products that are restocked often and respond to in-store promotion and merchandising.

***Customer Warehouse***

Some of our products are delivered from our manufacturing plants and distribution centers, both company and third-party operated, to customer warehouses, which is a less costly method of distribution than DSD.

***Distributor Networks***

We distribute many of our products through third-party distributors. Third-party distributors are particularly effective when greater distribution reach can be achieved by including a wide range of products on the delivery vehicles. For example, our foodservice and vending business distributes beverages and convenient foods to restaurants, businesses, schools and stadiums through third-party foodservice and vending distributors and operators.

***E-commerce***

Our products are also available and sold directly to consumers on a growing number of company-owned and third-party e-commerce websites and mobile commerce applications.

**Ingredients and Other Supplies**

The principal ingredients we use in our beverage and convenient food products are acesulfame potassium, aspartame, cocoa products, corn, corn sweeteners, flavorings, flour, juice concentrates, nuts, oats, potatoes, raw milk, rice, seasonings, sucralose, sugar, vegetable and essential oils, and wheat. We also use water in the manufacturing of our products. Our key packaging materials include plastic resin, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene and polypropylene used for plastic beverage bottles and film packaging for convenient foods, aluminum, glass, closures, cardboard and paperboard cartons. In addition, we continue to integrate recyclability into our product development process and support the increased use of recycled content, including recycled PET, in our packaging. Fuel, electricity and natural gas are also important commodities for our businesses due to their use in our and our business partners'

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

facilities and the vehicles delivering our products. We employ specialists to secure adequate supplies of many of these items and have not experienced any significant continuous shortages that would prevent us from meeting our requirements. Many of these ingredients, raw materials and commodities are purchased in the open market. The prices we pay for such items are subject to fluctuation, and we manage this risk through the use of fixed-price contracts and purchase orders, pricing agreements and derivative instruments, including swaps and futures. In addition, risk to our supply of certain raw materials is mitigated through purchases from multiple geographies and suppliers. When prices increase, we may or may not pass on such increases to our customers. In addition, we continue to make investments to improve the sustainability and resources of our agricultural supply chain, including the development of our initiative to advance sustainable farming practices by our suppliers and expanding it further globally. During 2025, we continued to experience volatility in our commodity, packaging and other input costs that may continue into fiscal 2026. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for further information on how we manage our exposure to commodity prices.

We also maintain voluntary supply chain finance agreements with several participating global financial institutions, pursuant to which our suppliers, at their sole discretion, may elect to sell their accounts receivable with PepsiCo to such global financial institutions. These agreements did not have a material impact on our business or financial results. See "Our Financial Results – Our Liquidity and Capital Resources" in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

In 2024, we shifted our alcoholic beverage business away from distribution to a trademark licensing model and flavor sales model and have licensed certain of our brands in certain markets in the United States and internationally. Trademarks remain valid so long as they are used properly for identification purposes, and we emphasize correct use of our trademarks. We have authorized, through licensing arrangements, the use

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

of many of our trademarks in such contexts as convenient food joint ventures and beverage bottling appointments. In addition, we license the use of our trademarks on merchandise that is sold at retail, which enhances brand awareness.

We either own or have licenses to use a number of patents which relate to certain of our products, their packaging, the processes for their production and the design and operation of various equipment used in our businesses. Some of these patents are licensed to others.

**Seasonality**

Our businesses are affected by seasonal variations. Our beverage and convenient food sales are generally highest in the third quarter due to seasonal and holiday-related patterns and generally lowest in the first quarter. However, taken as a whole, seasonality has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial results.

**Our Customers**

Our customers include wholesale and other distributors, foodservice customers, grocery stores, drug stores, convenience stores, discount/dollar stores, mass merchandisers, membership stores, hard discounters, e-commerce retailers and authorized independent bottlers, among others. We normally grant our independent bottlers exclusive contracts to sell and manufacture certain beverage products bearing our trademarks within a specific geographic area. These arrangements provide us with the right to charge our independent bottlers for concentrate, finished goods and Aquafina royalties and specify the manufacturing process required for product quality. We also grant distribution rights to our independent bottlers for certain beverage products bearing our trademarks for specified geographic areas.

We rely on and provide financial incentives to our customers to assist in the distribution and promotion of our products to the consumer. For our independent distributors and retailers, these incentives include volume-based rebates, product placement fees, promotions and displays. For our independent bottlers, these incentives are referred to as bottler funding and are negotiated annually with each bottler to support a variety of trade and consumer programs, such as consumer incentives, advertising support, new product support, and vending and cooler equipment placement. Consumer incentives include pricing discounts and promotions, and other promotional offers. Advertising support is directed at advertising programs and supporting independent bottler media. New product support includes targeted consumer and retailer incentives and direct marketplace support, such as point-of-purchase materials, product placement fees, media and advertising. Vending and cooler equipment placement programs support the acquisition and placement of vending machines and cooler equipment. The nature and type of programs vary annually.

Changes to the retail landscape, including increased consolidation of retail ownership, the continued growth of sales through e-commerce websites and mobile commerce applications, including through subscription services and other direct-to-consumer businesses, the integration of physical and digital operations among retailers, as well as the international expansion of hard discounters, and the current economic environment continue to increase the importance of major customers. In 2025, sales to Walmart Inc. (Walmart) and its affiliates, including Sam's Club (Sam's), represented approximately 14% of our consolidated net revenue, with sales reported across all of our segments, including concentrate sales to our independent bottlers, which were used in finished goods sold by them to Walmart. The loss of this customer would have a material adverse effect on our PFNA and PBNA segments.

**Our Competition**

Our beverage and convenient food products are in highly competitive categories and markets and compete against products of international beverage and convenient food companies that, like us, operate in multiple geographies, as well as regional, local and private label manufacturers and economy brands and other competitors, including smaller companies developing and selling micro brands directly to consumers

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

through e-commerce platforms or through retailers focused on locally-sourced products. In many countries in which our products are sold, including the United States, The Coca-Cola Company is our primary beverage competitor. Other beverage and convenient food competitors include, but are not limited to, The Campbell's Company, Conagra Brands, Inc., Hormel Foods Corporation, Keurig Dr Pepper Inc., The Kraft Heinz Company, Link Snacks, Inc., Mars, Incorporated, Mondelēz International, Inc., Monster Beverage Corporation, Nestlé S.A., Primo Brands Corporation, Red Bull GmbH and Utz Brands, Inc.

Many of our convenient food products hold significant leadership positions in the convenient food industry in the United States and worldwide. In 2025, we and The Coca-Cola Company represented approximately 16% and 20%, respectively, of the U.S. liquid refreshment beverage category by estimated retail sales in measured channels, according to Information Resources, Inc. However, The Coca-Cola Company has significant carbonated soft drink (CSD) share advantage in many markets outside the United States.

Our beverage and convenient food products compete primarily on the basis of brand recognition and loyalty, taste, price, value, quality, product variety, innovation, distribution, shelf space, advertising, marketing and promotional activity (including digital), packaging, convenience, service and the ability to anticipate and effectively respond to consumer preferences and trends, including increased consumer focus on health and wellness and sustainability and the continued acceleration of e-commerce and other methods of distributing and purchasing products. Success in this competitive environment is dependent on effective promotion of existing products, effective introduction of new products and reformulations of existing products, increased efficiency in production techniques, effective incorporation of technology and digital tools across all areas of our business, the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, marketing programs, product packaging and pricing, new vending and dispensing equipment and brand and trademark development and protection. We believe that the strength of our brands, innovation and marketing, coupled with the quality of our products and flexibility of our distribution network, allows us to compete effectively.

**Research and Development**

We engage in a variety of research and development activities and invest in innovation globally with the goal of meeting the needs of our customers and consumers and accelerating growth. These activities principally involve: innovations focused on creating consumer preferred products to grow and transform our portfolio through development of new technologies, ingredients, flavors and substrates; development and improvement of our manufacturing processes, including reductions in cost and environmental footprint; implementing product improvements to our global portfolio including to reduce added sugars, sodium or saturated fat; offering more products with functional benefits and positive nutrition including fiber, whole grains, protein and hydration; development of packaging technology and new package designs, including reducing the amount of plastic in our packaging and developing recyclable, compostable, biodegradable, reusable or otherwise sustainable packaging; development of marketing, merchandising and dispensing equipment; further expanding our beyond the bottle portfolio including innovation for our SodaStream business; investments in technology and digitalization, including artificial intelligence and data analytics to enhance our consumer insights and research; continuing to strengthen our omnichannel capabilities, particularly in e-commerce; and efforts focused on reducing our impact on the environment, including reducing water use in our operations and our agricultural practices and reducing our environmental impact in our operations throughout our value chain.

Our research centers are located around the world, including in Brazil, China, India, Ireland, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States, and leverage consumer insights, food science and engineering to meet our strategy to continually innovate our portfolio of beverages and convenient foods.

**Regulatory Matters** 

The conduct of our businesses, including the production, storage, distribution, sale, display, advertising, marketing, labeling, content, quality, safety, transportation, packaging, disposal, recycling and use of our products and their ingredients, as well as our employment and occupational health and safety practices and protection of personal information, are subject to various laws and regulations administered by federal, state and local governmental agencies in the United States, as well as to laws and regulations administered by government entities and agencies in the more than 200 other countries and territories in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold. It is our policy to abide by the laws and regulations around the world that apply to our businesses.

The U.S. laws and regulations that we are subject to include, but are not limited to: the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and various state laws governing food safety and food labeling; the Food Safety Modernization Act; the Occupational Safety and Health Act and various state laws and regulations governing workplace health and safety; various federal, state and local environmental protection laws, as discussed below; the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act; the Federal Trade Commission Act; the Lanham Act and various state law statutory and common law duties regarding false advertising; various federal and state laws and regulations governing competition and trade practices, including the Robinson-Patman Act and the Clayton Act; various federal and state laws and regulations governing our employment practices, including those related to equal employment opportunity, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Act and the National Labor Relations Act and those related to overtime compensation, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act; data privacy and personal data protection laws and regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as modified by the California Privacy Rights Act); customs and foreign trade laws and regulations, including laws regarding the import or export of our products or ingredients used in our products and tariffs; laws regulating the sale of certain of our products in schools; laws regulating the ingredients or substances contained in, or attributes of, our products; laws regulating our supply chain, including the 2010 California Transparency in Supply Chains Act and laws relating to the payment of taxes. We are also required to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act. We are also subject to various state and local statutes and regulations, including state consumer protection laws such as Proposition 65 in California, which requires that a specific warning appear on any product that contains a substance listed by the State of California as having been found to cause cancer or birth defects, unless the amount of such substance in the product is below a safe harbor level.

We are subject to numerous similar and other laws and regulations outside the United States, including but not limited to laws and regulations governing food safety; the ingredients or substances contained in, or attributes of, our products, including the Food (Promotion and Placement) (England) Regulations; international trade, sanctions, import/export restrictions and tariffs; supply chains, including the U.K. Modern Slavery Act; occupational health and safety; the payment of taxes and the global tax environment; competition; and anti-corruption and data privacy, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation. In many jurisdictions, compliance with competition laws is of special importance to us due to our competitive position in those jurisdictions, as is compliance with anti-corruption laws, including the U.K. Bribery Act. We rely on legal and operational compliance programs, as well as in-house and outside counsel and other experts, to guide our businesses in complying with the laws and regulations around the world that apply to our businesses.

Certain jurisdictions have either imposed, or are considering imposing, new or increased taxes on the manufacture, distribution or sale of our products, ingredients or substances contained in, or attributes of, our products or commodities used in the production of our products. These taxes vary in scope and form: some apply to all beverages, including non-caloric beverages, while others apply only to beverages with a caloric sweetener (e.g., sugar). Similarly, some measures apply a single tax rate per ounce/liter on

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

beverages containing over a certain level of added sugar (or other sweetener) while others apply a graduated tax rate depending upon the amount of added sugar (or other sweetener) in the beverage and some apply a flat tax rate on beverages containing a particular substance or ingredient, regardless of the level of such substance or ingredient. In addition, certain jurisdictions in which our snack products are sold have either imposed or are considering imposing, new or increased taxes on the manufacture, distribution or sale of certain of our snack products as a result of ingredients (such as sugar, sodium or saturated fat) contained in our products.

Certain jurisdictions have either imposed, or are considering imposing, product labeling or warning requirements or other limitations on the marketing or sale of certain of our products as a result of ingredients or substances contained in such products or packaging materials, processes used to make the ingredients or products, the audience to whom products are marketed or the location in which the products are sold. These types of provisions have, among other things, required that we highlight perceived concerns about a product, warn consumers to avoid consumption of certain ingredients or substances present in our products, restrict the age of consumers to whom products are marketed or sold, limit the location in which our products may be available or discontinue the use of certain ingredients. We expect continued scrutiny of certain ingredients or substances present in certain of our products and/or their packaging, as well as processes used to make them, and it is possible that similar or more restrictive requirements may be proposed or enacted in the future.

Certain jurisdictions have either imposed or are considering imposing regulations designed to increase recycling rates, encourage waste reduction, restrict the sale of products utilizing certain packaging or to carry warnings about the environmental impact of plastic packaging. These regulations vary in scope and form from deposit return systems designed to incentivize the return of beverage containers, to extended producer responsibility policies and even restrictions or bans on the use of certain types of packaging, including single-use plastics and packaging containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It is possible that similar or more restrictive requirements may be proposed or enacted in the future.

We are also subject to national and local environmental laws in the United States and in foreign countries in which we do business, including laws related to water consumption and treatment, wastewater discharge and air emissions. In the United States, we are subject to the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and other federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding handling, storage, release and disposal of wastes generated onsite and sent to third-party owned and operated offsite licensed facilities. Our operations outside the United States are subject to similar laws and regulations. In addition, continuing concern over environmental, social and governance matters, including climate change, is expected to continue to result in new or increased legal and regulatory requirements (in or outside of the United States) to reduce emissions to mitigate the potential effects of greenhouse gases, to limit or impose additional costs on commercial water use due to local water scarcity concerns or to expand mandatory reporting of certain environmental, social and governance metrics. Our policy is to abide by all applicable environmental laws and regulations, and we have internal programs in place with respect to our global environmental compliance. We have made, and plan to continue making, necessary expenditures for compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that aim to make progress toward achieving our sustainability goals. While these expenditures have not had a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations to date, changes in environmental compliance requirements, and expenditures necessary to comply with such requirements or that aim to make progress toward achieving our sustainability goals, could adversely affect our financial performance. In addition, we and our subsidiaries are subject to environmental remediation obligations arising in the normal course of business, as well as remediation and related indemnification obligations in connection with certain historical activities and contractual obligations, including those of businesses or properties acquired by us or our subsidiaries. While these environmental remediation and indemnification obligations cannot be

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

predicted with certainty, such obligations have not had, and are not expected to have, a material impact on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

In addition to the discussion in this section, see also "Item 1A. Risk Factors."

**Human Capital**

PepsiCo believes that human capital management, including attracting, developing and retaining a high quality workforce, is critical to our long-term success. Our Board of Directors (Board) and its Committees provide oversight on a broad range of human capital management topics, including corporate culture, pay equity, health and safety, training and development and compensation and benefits.

We employed approximately 306,000 people worldwide as of December 27, 2025, including approximately 125,000 people within the United States. We are party to numerous collective bargaining agreements and believe that relations with our employees are generally good.

Protecting the safety, health, and well-being of our associates around the world is PepsiCo's top priority. We strive to achieve an injury-free work environment. We also continue to invest in emerging technologies to protect our employees from injuries, including leveraging fleet telematics and distracted driving technology, resulting in reductions in road traffic incidents, and deploying ergonomic and machine safety risk reduction solutions.

We believe that our culture is a competitive advantage that fuels innovation, enhances our ability to attract and retain talent and strengthens our reputation. We continually strive to improve the attraction, retention, and advancement of associates to ensure we sustain a high-caliber pipeline of talent that also represents the communities we serve.

We are also committed to the continued growth and development of our associates. PepsiCo supports and develops its associates through a variety of global training and development programs that build and strengthen employees' leadership and professional skills, including career development plans, mentoring programs and in-house learning opportunities, such as MyLearning and Schoox, our internal global online learning resource. In 2025, PepsiCo employees, including front-line employees, completed over 2.8 million hours of training.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.** 

The following risks, some of which have occurred and any of which may occur in the future, can have a material adverse effect on our business or financial performance, which in turn can affect the price of our publicly traded securities. These are not the only risks we face. There may be other risks we are not currently aware of or that we currently deem not to be material but that may become material in the future.

***<u>Business Risks</u>***

***Reduction in future demand for our products would adversely affect our business.***

Demand for our products depends in part on our ability to innovate and anticipate and effectively respond to shifts in consumer trends and preferences, including the types of products our consumers want and how they browse for, purchase and consume them. Consumer preferences continuously evolve due to a variety of factors, including: changes in consumer demographics, consumption patterns (including increased food purchased away-from-home), diet (whether due to changes in consumer behavior and eating habits, increasing use of weight-loss drugs, such as GLP-1 medications, or other factors) and channel preferences (including continued increases in the e-commerce and online-to-offline channels and use of artificial intelligence shopping agents that autonomously select products that may not be ours); pricing (including the effective impact of tariffs and taxes imposed on the manufacture, distribution or sale of certain of our products as a result of ingredients contained in such products); affordability pressures and changes in consumer spending patterns (including if consumers switch to private label or lower-priced product offerings); changes in funding for or restrictions on the inclusion of our products in benefit programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the United States; product quality; product functionality (including products high in protein or fiber-enriched); concerns or perceptions regarding packaging and its environmental impact (such as single-use and other plastic packaging); concerns or perceptions regarding the processing, nutrition profile and health effects of, or location of origin of, ingredients or substances in our products or packaging, including due to public statements by government officials, increased litigation, changes in regulations, regulatory scrutiny or the results of third-party studies (whether or not scientifically valid); and concerns or perceptions regarding our workforce policies and initiatives. Concerns with any of the foregoing have affected and may continue to affect consumer behaviors and can lead consumers to reduce or publicly boycott the purchase or consumption of our products.

Pandemics, epidemics or other disease outbreaks and geopolitical events and tensions, wars and other military conflicts have also impacted and could continue to impact consumer preferences and demand for our products, including negative consumer sentiment toward non-local products. Consumer preferences are also influenced by perception of our brand image or the brand images of our products, the success of our advertising and marketing campaigns, our ability to engage with our consumers in the manner they prefer, including through the use of digital media or assets, and the perception of our use of social media and our response to political and social issues, geopolitical events and tensions, wars and other military conflicts or catastrophic events. These and other factors have reduced and could continue to reduce consumers' willingness to purchase certain of our products, including as a result of public boycotts. Any inability on our part to anticipate or react to changes in consumer preferences and trends, or make the right strategic investments to do so, including investments in artificial intelligence and data analytics to understand consumer trends, can lead to reduced demand for our products, lead to inventory write-offs or erode our competitive and financial position, thereby adversely affecting our business. In addition, our business operations, including our supply chain, are subject to disruption by geopolitical events and tensions, wars and other military conflicts, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics or other events beyond

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

our control that could negatively impact product availability and decrease demand for our products if our crisis management plans do not effectively mitigate these issues.

***Damage to our reputation or brand image can adversely affect our business.***

Maintaining a positive reputation globally is important to our business. Our reputation or brand image has in the past been, and could in the future be, adversely impacted by a variety of factors, including: any failure by us, our business partners, or other actors in our supply chain to maintain high ethical, business and environmental, social and governance practices, including with respect to human rights, child labor, workforce policies and initiatives, workplace conditions and employee health and safety; any failure, or perceived failure, to achieve or make sufficient progress toward our environmental, social and governance goals, or any revisions of or negative perception toward such goals, including with respect to the nutrition profile of our products, packaging, water use, our impact on the environment and our workforce policies and initiatives; any difficulties executing our strategic initiatives; any failure to address health or other concerns about our products, products we distribute, certain brands licensed to and distributed to third parties (including alcoholic beverages), or particular ingredients or substances in our products, including concerns or perceptions regarding whether certain of our products are "ultra-processed," contain certain ingredients or substances or otherwise contribute to obesity and other health conditions or an increase in public health costs; our research and development efforts; any product quality or safety issues, including the recall of any of our products; any failure to comply with laws and regulations; consumer perception of our advertising campaigns, sponsorship arrangements, marketing programs, use of social media and our response to political and social issues, geopolitical events and tensions, wars and other military conflicts, or catastrophic events; or any failure to effectively respond to negative or inaccurate comments about us on social media or otherwise regarding any of the foregoing. Damage to our reputation or brand image has in the past and could in the future decrease demand for our products, thereby adversely affecting our business.

***Product recalls or other issues or concerns with respect to product quality and safety can adversely affect our business.***

We have recalled, and could in the future recall, products due to product quality or safety issues, including actual or alleged mislabeling, misbranding, spoilage, undeclared allergens, adulteration or contamination. Joint ventures in which we have an interest have also recalled, and could in the future recall, products for the same or other reasons. These risks could be heightened in light of new or evolving regulations, changes to our portfolio (including increased use of functional or other ingredients), aging infrastructure, and increased pressure on our suppliers from supply chain disruptions. Product recalls have in the past and could in the future adversely affect our business by resulting in losses due to their cost, the destruction of product inventory, customer fines and returns or lost sales due to any unavailability of the product for a period of time. In addition, our manufacturing facilities and products have been and could continue to be subject to increased inspection by federal, state and local authorities. Product quality or safety issues identified by us or governmental authorities have in the past and could in the future also reduce consumer confidence and demand for our products, cause production and delivery disruptions, including as a result of temporary or permanent closure of manufacturing plants or facilities, result in increased costs (including payment of fines and/or judgments, cleaning and remediation costs and legal fees, and costs associated with alternative sources of production) and damage our reputation (or the reputation of joint ventures in which we have an interest), particularly as we or our joint ventures continue to expand into new categories, all of which can adversely affect our business. Any perception or allegation (whether or not valid) of failure to maintain adequate oversight over product quality or safety can result in product recalls, litigation, government investigations, inspections or inquiries or civil or criminal proceedings, all of which may result in fines, penalties, damages, criminal liability, damage to our reputation or changes in consumer demand. Our business can also be adversely affected if consumers lose confidence in product

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

quality, safety and integrity generally, even if such loss of confidence is unrelated to products in our portfolio. In addition, while we currently maintain insurance coverage that, subject to its terms and conditions, is intended to address costs associated with certain aspects of product recalls, this insurance coverage may not, depending on the specific facts and circumstances surrounding an incident, cover all losses or all types of claims that arise from an incident, or the damage to our reputation or brands that may result from an incident.

***Any inability to compete effectively can adversely affect our business.***

Our products compete against products of international beverage and convenient food companies that, like us, operate in multiple geographies, as well as regional, local and private label and economy brand manufacturers and other competitors, including smaller companies developing and selling micro brands directly to consumers through e-commerce platforms or through retailers focused on locally sourced products. In many countries in which our products are sold, including the United States, The Coca-Cola Company is our primary beverage competitor. Our products compete primarily on the basis of brand recognition and loyalty, taste, price, value, quality, product variety, innovation, distribution, shelf space and preferable shelf placement, advertising, marketing and promotional activity, packaging, convenience, service and the ability to anticipate and effectively respond to consumer preferences and trends. Our business can be adversely affected if our strategy is not effective, if we fail to achieve the commercial and financial priorities announced during 2025 to improve our marketplace competitiveness and financial performance, including in our North American businesses, if we are unable to effectively promote or develop our existing products or introduce and effectively market new products (including in response to increased consumer demand for products with certain attributes, functional benefits, ingredients or nutrition profiles), if we are unable to effectively digitalize our operations and adopt new technologies, including artificial intelligence and data analytics to develop new commercial insights and improve operating efficiencies, if we are unable to continuously strengthen and evolve our capabilities in digital marketing, if our competitors spend more aggressively or effectively than we do, if our competitors are more successful than us in shifting to products that are less affected by the impact of taxes imposed as a result of ingredients contained in such products, or if we are otherwise unable to effectively respond to supply disruptions, pricing pressure (including as a result of commodity inflation) or otherwise compete effectively, and we may be unable to grow or maintain sales or category share or we may need to increase capital, marketing or other expenditures.

***Failure to attract, develop and maintain a highly skilled workforce or effectively manage changes in our workforce can have an adverse effect on our business.***

Our business requires that we attract, develop and maintain a highly skilled workforce. Our employees are highly sought after by our competitors and other companies and our continued ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to attract, retain, develop and motivate highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization. Our ability to do so has been and may continue to be impacted by challenges in the labor market, which has experienced and may continue to experience wage inflation, labor shortages, increased employee turnover, changes in availability of our workforce and changing worker expectations regarding flexible work models. Any unplanned turnover, sustained labor shortage or unsuccessful implementation of our succession plans to backfill current leadership positions, including the Chief Executive Officer, or failure to attract, develop and maintain a highly skilled workforce, including with key capabilities such as e-commerce and digital marketing, artificial intelligence and data analytic skills, can deplete our institutional knowledge base, erode our competitive advantage or result in increased costs due to increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover or increased employee benefit costs. In addition, failure to attract, retain and develop associates in a manner that supports our culture can damage our business results and our reputation. Any of the foregoing can adversely affect our business.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

***Water scarcity can adversely affect our business.***

We and our business partners use water in the manufacturing of our products. Water is also essential to the production of the raw materials needed in our manufacturing process. Lack of available water of acceptable quality, actions by governmental and non-governmental organizations, investors, customers and consumers on water scarcity and increasing pressure to conserve and replenish water in areas of scarcity and stress, including due to the effects of climate change, can lead to: supply chain disruption; adverse effects on our operations or the operations of our business partners; higher compliance costs; increased capital expenditures (including investments in the development of technologies to enhance water efficiency and reduce consumption); higher production costs, including less favorable pricing for water; the interruption or cessation of operations at, or relocation of, our facilities or the facilities of our business partners; failure to achieve our goals relating to water use; perception of our failure to act responsibly with respect to water use or to effectively respond to legal or regulatory requirements concerning water scarcity; or damage to our reputation, any of which can adversely affect our business.

***Changes in the retail landscape or in sales to any key customer can adversely affect our business.***

The retail landscape continues to evolve, including continued growth in e-commerce channels and hard discounters. Our business will be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain and develop successful relationships with e-commerce retailers and hard discounters, while also maintaining relationships with our key customers operating in traditional retail channels (many of whom are also focused on increasing their e-commerce sales). Our business can be adversely affected if e-commerce channels and hard discounters take significant additional market share away from traditional retailers or we fail to find ways to create increasingly better digital tools and capabilities for our retail customers to enable them to grow their businesses. In addition, our business can be adversely affected if we are unable to profitably expand direct-to-consumer e-commerce capabilities.

Changing dynamics at the retail level have also impacted and may continue to impact our ability to grow in certain jurisdictions. In this changing retail landscape, retailers and buying groups are shifting traditional value propositions, removing our products or otherwise reducing shelf space allocated to our products and focusing on introducing and developing private-label brands. These changing conditions may also adversely impact how our customers compete in the markets in which they operate, which may in turn affect purchasing patterns of our products. Further, we must maintain mutually beneficial relationships with our key customers to compete effectively. A change in the business conditions (financial or otherwise) of any of our key customers, even if unrelated to us, a significant reduction in sales to any key customer, or the loss of any of our key customers has adversely affected and can continue to adversely affect our business.

***Disruption of our manufacturing operations or supply chain, including increased commodity, packaging, transportation, labor and other input costs, can adversely affect our business.***

We have experienced and could continue to experience disruption in our manufacturing operations and supply chain. Many of the raw materials and supplies used in the production of our products are sourced from countries experiencing war or other military conflict, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, political instability or unfavorable economic conditions. Natural disasters and extreme weather conditions also pose physical risks to our facilities and those of our suppliers, which could impair our production capabilities and disrupt our supply chain. Some raw materials and supplies, including packaging materials, are available only from a limited number of suppliers or from a sole supplier or are in short supply when seasonal demand is at its peak. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain favorable arrangements and relationships with suppliers or that our contingency plans will be effective to mitigate disruptions that may arise from shortages or discontinuation of any raw materials and other supplies that we use in the manufacture, production and distribution of our products or from operational or financial

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

instability of our key suppliers. Any sustained or significant disruption in the future to the manufacturing or sourcing of products or materials could increase our costs and interrupt product supply, which can adversely impact our business.

The raw materials and other supplies, including agricultural commodities, fuel and packaging materials, such as recycled PET, transportation, labor and other supply chain inputs that we use for the manufacturing, production and distribution of our products are subject to price volatility and fluctuations in availability caused by many factors, including changes in supply and demand, supplier capacity constraints, inflation, weather conditions (including potential effects of climate change), fire, natural disasters, disease or pests (including the impact of greening disease on the citrus industry), agricultural uncertainty, health epidemics or pandemics or other contagious outbreaks, labor shortages or changes in availability of our or our business partners' workforce, strikes or work stoppages (including by railway workers or other third parties involved in the manufacture, production and distribution of our products), governmental incentives and controls and import/export restrictions, such as new, expanded or retaliatory tariffs, sanctions, quotas or trade barriers, port congestions or delays, transport capacity constraints, cybersecurity incidents or other disruptions, loss or impairment of key manufacturing sites, political uncertainties, geopolitical events and tensions, wars and other military conflicts, acts of terrorism, governmental instability or currency exchange rates. In addition, the imposition of tariffs (including U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on China, the European Union, Canada and Mexico and other countries and any tariffs imposed by such countries) have impacted and could continue to impact our supply chain resulting in increased input costs, including the cost of certain raw materials and packaging. The impact of tariffs will continue to vary, including based on where inputs are sourced from and shipped to. Many of our raw materials and supplies are purchased in the open market and the prices we pay for such items are subject to fluctuation. We continued to experience volatility in our commodity, packaging and transportation costs during 2025, which may continue. When input prices increase unexpectedly or significantly, we may be unwilling or unable to increase our product prices or unable to effectively hedge against price increases to offset these increased costs without suffering reduced volume, revenue, margins and operating results.

***Political, social and geopolitical conditions can adversely affect our business.***

The impact from political, social and geopolitical conditions in the markets in which our products are sold has been and could continue to be difficult to predict, resulting in adverse effects on our business. The results of elections, referendums or other political conditions (including government shutdowns), geopolitical events and tensions, wars and other military conflicts (such as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and recent intervention in Venezuela) in these markets have in the past impacted and could continue to impact how existing laws, regulations and government programs or policies are implemented or result in uncertainty as to how such laws, regulations, programs or policies may change, including with respect to the negotiation of new trade agreements, new, expanded or retaliatory tariffs against certain countries or covering certain products or ingredients (including U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on China, the European Union, Canada and Mexico and other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries), sanctions, environmental and climate change regulations, taxes, benefit programs (including any changes to governmental subsidies provided to our consumers such as SNAP in the United States), the movement of goods, services and people between countries, relationships between countries, customer or consumer perception of a particular country or its government and other matters. Such conditions have resulted in and could continue to result in exchange rate fluctuation, limitations on access to credit markets and other corporate banking services, including working capital facilities, volatility in global stock markets and global economic uncertainty and heightened risk to employee safety, any of which can adversely affect our business. In addition, geopolitical conflicts (such as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine) could result in temporary or permanent loss of assets, including the nationalization or expropriation of assets.

In addition, political and social conditions in certain jurisdictions have resulted in demonstrations and protests, including in connection with geopolitical events and tensions, political elections, civil rights and liberties. Our operations or the operations of our business partners, including the distribution of our products and the ingredients or other raw materials used in the production of our products, may be disrupted if such events persist for a prolonged period of time, including due to actions taken by governmental authorities in affected cities and regions, which can adversely affect our business.

***Our business can be adversely affected if we are unable to grow in developing and emerging markets.***

Our success depends in part on our ability to grow our business in developing and emerging markets. There can be no assurance that our products will be accepted or be successful in any particular developing or emerging market, due to competition, price, cultural differences, consumer preferences, regulation, method of distribution or otherwise. Our business in these markets has been and could continue in the future to be impacted by economic, political and social conditions; geopolitical conflicts or tensions, acts of war, terrorist acts, and civil unrest, including demonstrations and protests; competition; tariffs, sanctions or other regulations restricting contact with certain countries in these markets; foreign ownership restrictions; nationalization of our assets or the assets of our business partners; government-mandated closure, or threatened closure, of our operations or the operations of our business partners; restrictions on the import or export of our products or ingredients or substances used in our products; highly inflationary economies; devaluation or fluctuation or demonetization of currency; regulations on the transfer of funds to and from foreign countries, currency controls or other currency exchange restrictions, which result in significant cash balances in foreign countries, from time to time, or can significantly affect our ability to effectively manage our operations in certain of these markets and can result in the deconsolidation of such businesses; the lack of well-established or reliable legal systems; increased costs of doing business due to compliance with complex foreign and U.S. laws and regulations that apply to our international operations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act; and adverse consequences, such as the assessment of fines or penalties, for any failure to comply with laws and regulations. Our business can be adversely affected if we are unable to expand our business in developing and emerging markets, effectively operate, or manage the risks associated with operating, in these markets, or achieve the return on capital we expect from our investments in these markets.

***Changes in economic conditions can adversely impact our business.***

Many of the jurisdictions in which our products are sold have experienced and could continue to experience uncertain or unfavorable economic conditions, such as high inflation and adverse changes in interest rates, tax laws or tax rates and new, expanded or retaliatory tariffs, including as a result of geopolitical events and tensions. These uncertain or unfavorable economic conditions have resulted in and could continue to result in recessions or economic slowdowns; volatile commodity markets; labor shortages; highly inflationary economies, devaluation, fluctuation or demonetization of currency; contraction in the availability of credit; austerity or stimulus measures; the effects of any default by or deterioration in the creditworthiness of the countries in which our products are sold; or a decrease in the fair value of pension or post-retirement assets that could increase future employee benefit costs and/or funding requirements of our pension or post-retirement plans. Under difficult economic conditions, consumers may seek to reduce discretionary spending by forgoing purchases of our products or shifting toward lower-priced products offered by other companies, including private-label brands, which has impacted and could continue to impact consumer demand for our products. In addition, we cannot predict how current or future economic conditions will affect our business partners, including financial institutions with whom we do business, and any negative impact on any of the foregoing may also have an adverse impact on our business.

***Future cyber incidents and other disruptions to our information systems can adversely affect our business.***

We depend on information systems and technology, including public websites and cloud-based services, for many activities important to our business, including communications within our company, interfacing with customers and consumers; ordering and managing inventory; managing and operating our facilities; protecting confidential information, including personal data we collect; maintaining accurate financial records and complying with regulatory, financial reporting, legal and tax requirements. Our business has in the past and could in the future be negatively affected by security incidents, systems disruptions or shutdowns or degraded systems performance. These incidents or disruptions may be caused by cyberattacks and other cyber incidents, network or power outages, software, equipment or telecommunications failures, the unintentional or malicious actions of employees or contractors, natural disasters, fires or other catastrophic events.

Cyberattacks and other cyber incidents are occurring more frequently, and the techniques used to gain access to information technology systems and data, disable or degrade service or sabotage systems are constantly evolving and becoming more sophisticated in nature and are being carried out by groups and individuals with a wide range of expertise and motives. In addition, the rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may increase our cybersecurity risks, including generative artificial intelligence augmenting threat actors' technological sophistication to enhance existing or create new malware. Cyberattacks and cyber incidents take many forms including cyber extortion, denial of service, social engineering, deepfake attacks and disinformation campaigns, introduction of viruses or malware (such as ransomware), exploiting vulnerabilities in hardware, software or other infrastructure (including zero-day vulnerabilities), hacking, website defacement or theft of passwords and other credentials, unauthorized use of computing resources for digital currency mining and business email compromise. As with other global companies, we are regularly subject to cyberattacks and other cyber incidents, including the types of attacks and incidents described above. Continued geopolitical instability has heightened the risk of cyberattacks. In addition, such cyberattacks may be difficult to detect for periods of time and, even if detected, the nature and extent of that cybersecurity incident may not be immediately clear and an investigation into a cybersecurity incident could take a significant amount of time to complete. These factors may inhibit our ability to provide rapid, complete and reliable information about the cybersecurity incident to customers, counterparties and regulators, as well as the public. If we do not allocate and effectively manage the resources necessary to continue building and maintaining our information technology infrastructure, or if we fail to timely identify or appropriately respond to cyberattacks or other cyber incidents, our business has been and can continue to be adversely affected, which has resulted in and can continue to result in some or all of the following: transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, inability to access our data or systems, lost revenues or other costs resulting from disruptions or shutdowns of offices, plants, warehouses, distribution centers or other facilities, compromises of personal data, confidential information, intellectual property or other sensitive data, litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries or investigations, fines or penalties, remediation costs, damage to our reputation or a negative impact on employee morale and the loss of current or potential customers. In addition, these risks also exist in acquired businesses, joint ventures or companies we invest in or partner with that use separate information systems or that have not yet been fully integrated into our information systems.

Similar risks exist with respect to our business partners and third-party providers, including suppliers, software and cloud-based service providers, that we rely upon for aspects of various business processes and activities, including procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, distribution, information technology support services and administrative functions (including payroll processing, health and benefit plan administration and certain finance and accounting functions) and the systems managed, hosted, provided and/or used by such third parties and their vendors. For example, malicious actors have employed and

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

could continue to employ the information technology supply chain to introduce malware through software updates or compromised supplier accounts or hardware and exploit known or unknown hardware or software vulnerabilities in our systems or the systems of our vendors and third-party service providers. The need to coordinate with various third-party service providers, including with respect to timely notification and access to personnel and information concerning an incident, may complicate our efforts to address issues that arise. As a result, we are subject to the risk that the activities associated with our third-party service providers can adversely affect our business even if the attack or breach does not directly impact our systems or information.

Although the cyber incidents and other systems disruptions that we have experienced to date have not had a material effect on our business, such incidents or disruptions could have a material adverse effect on us in the future. While we believe we devote significant resources to network security, disaster recovery, employee training and other measures to secure our information technology systems and prevent unauthorized access to or loss of data, there are no guarantees that they will be adequate to safeguard against all cyber incidents, systems disruptions, system compromises or misuses of data. In addition, while we currently maintain insurance coverage that, subject to its terms and conditions, is intended to address costs associated with certain aspects of cyber incidents and information systems failures, this insurance coverage may not, depending on the specific facts and circumstances surrounding an incident, cover all losses or all types of claims that arise from an incident, or the damage to our reputation or brands that may result from an incident.

***Failure to successfully complete or manage strategic transactions can adversely affect our business.***

We regularly review our portfolio of businesses and evaluate potential acquisitions, joint ventures, distribution agreements, divestitures, refranchisings and other strategic transactions. The success of these transactions is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to realize the full extent of the expected returns, benefits, cost savings or synergies as a result of a transaction, within the anticipated time frame, or at all; and receipt of necessary consents, clearances and approvals. Risks associated with strategic transactions include integrating manufacturing, distribution, sales, accounting, financial reporting and administrative support activities and information technology systems with our company or difficulties separating such personnel, activities and systems in connection with divestitures; operating through new business models or in new categories or territories; motivating, recruiting and retaining executives and key employees; conforming controls (including internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and data protection and cybersecurity) and policies (including with respect to environmental compliance, food safety, health and safety compliance and compliance with anti-bribery laws); retaining existing customers and consumers and attracting new customers and consumers; managing tax costs or inefficiencies; maintaining good relations with divested or refranchised businesses in our supply or sales chain; inability to offset loss of revenue associated with divested brands or businesses; recognition of impairment charges in connection with potential divestitures; managing the impact of business decisions or other actions or omissions of our joint venture partners that may have different interests than we do; and other unanticipated problems or liabilities, such as contingent liabilities and litigation. Strategic transactions that are not successfully completed or managed effectively, or our failure to effectively manage the risks associated with such transactions, have in the past and could continue to result in adverse effects on our business. In addition, failure to successfully complete or manage strategic transactions may impede our efforts to shift our portfolio to include new products that are less affected by the impact of ingredient-based taxes or other regulatory actions or scrutiny.

***Our reliance on third-party service providers and enterprise-wide systems can have an adverse effect on our business.***

We rely on third-party service providers, including software and cloud data service providers, for certain areas of our business, including procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, distribution, information technology support services and administrative functions (such as payroll processing, health and benefit plan administration and certain finance and accounting functions). Failure by these third parties to meet their contractual, regulatory and other obligations to us, or our failure to adequately monitor their performance, has in the past and could continue to result in our inability to achieve the expected cost savings or efficiencies and result in additional costs to correct errors made by such service providers. Depending on the function involved, such errors can also lead to business disruption, systems performance degradation, processing inefficiencies or other systems disruptions, the loss of or damage to intellectual property or sensitive data through security breaches or otherwise, incorrect or adverse effects on financial reporting, litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries or investigations, fines or penalties, remediation costs, damage to our reputation or have a negative impact on employee morale, all of which can adversely affect our business.

In addition, we continue on our multi-year phased business transformation initiative to migrate certain aspects of our systems, including our financial processing systems, to enterprise-wide systems solutions and have deployed these systems in certain countries and segments. We have experienced and could continue to experience systems outages and operating inefficiencies following these planned implementations. In addition, if we do not allocate and effectively manage the resources necessary to build and sustain the proper information technology infrastructure, or if we fail to achieve the expected benefits from this initiative, our business could be adversely affected.

***Climate change or measures to address climate change and other sustainability matters can negatively affect our business or damage our reputation.***

Climate change may increase the frequency or severity of natural disasters and other extreme weather conditions, including rising temperatures and drought. Natural disasters and extreme weather conditions could pose physical risks to our facilities, impair our production capabilities, disrupt our supply chain or impact demand for our products. In addition, climate change or other weather-related disruptions to our supply chain may also have a negative effect on agricultural production resulting in decreased availability or less favorable pricing for certain commodities that are necessary for our products, such as potatoes, sugar cane, corn, wheat, rice, oats, oranges and other commodities. Also, there is continued focus in many jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold regarding environmental policies relating to climate change, biodiversity loss, deforestation, regulating greenhouse gas emissions, energy policies and sustainability, including single-use plastics. This increased focus may result in new or increased legal and regulatory requirements, such as potential carbon pricing programs or revised product labeling requirements or other regulatory measures, which could, along with initiatives to meet our sustainability goals, continue to result in significant increased costs and require additional investments in facilities and equipment. As a result, the effects of climate change can negatively affect our business and operations.

In addition, there can be no assurance that we will achieve our sustainability goals, which will require significant effort and resources from us and other stakeholders, such as our suppliers and other third parties, governmental entities, and the development of technology that may not currently exist or exist at scale. Further, developing and collecting, measuring and reporting sustainability information and metrics can be costly, difficult and time consuming and is subject to changing interpretive guidance and evolving reporting standards, including the European Sustainability Reporting Standards and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive in the European Union, especially to the extent these standards are not harmonized or consistent. Further, methodologies for reporting our data may be updated and previously

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

reported data may be adjusted to reflect improvement in availability and quality of third-party data, changing assumptions, changes in the nature and scope of our operations (including from acquisitions and divestitures) and other changes in circumstances. Lack of progress or failure to properly report on our goals with respect to reducing our impact on the environment or perception of a failure to act responsibly with respect to the environment or to effectively respond to regulatory requirements concerning climate change and other sustainability matters, including the use of single-use plastics, has led and could continue to lead to adverse publicity, reduced demand for our products, damage to our reputation, an increased risk of litigation, regulatory proceedings, inquiries or investigations, which have adversely affected our business. We could also be subjected to negative responses by governmental actors (such as anti-ESG legislation or retaliatory legislative treatment) or certain stakeholders (such as boycotts, litigation or negative publicity campaigns) that could adversely affect our business.

***Strikes or work stoppages can cause our business to suffer.***

Many of our employees and employees of third parties that are involved in the manufacturing, production or distribution of our products are covered by collective bargaining agreements, and other employees may seek to be covered by collective bargaining agreements. Strikes or work stoppages or other business interruptions have occurred and may occur in the future if we or the third parties that are involved in the manufacturing, production and distribution of our products are unable to renew, or enter into new, collective bargaining agreements on satisfactory terms and can impair manufacturing and distribution of our products or the ingredients, raw materials or commodities used in our products, interrupt product supply, lead to a loss of sales, increase our costs or otherwise affect our ability to fully implement future operational changes to enhance our efficiency or to adapt to changing business needs or strategy, all of which can adversely affect our business.

***<u>Financial Risks</u>***

***Failure to realize benefits from our productivity initiatives or organizational restructurings can adversely affect our financial performance.***

Our future growth depends, in part, on our ability to continue to reduce costs and improve efficiencies, including digitalization of our operations, our multi-year phased implementation of shared business service organizational models and organizational restructuring. We continue to identify and implement productivity and restructuring initiatives that we believe will position our business for long-term sustainable growth, including certain commercial and financial priorities to improve our marketplace competitiveness and financial performance announced during 2025, by allowing us to achieve a lower cost structure, improve decision-making and operate more efficiently. Some of these measures could result in unintended consequences, such as business disruptions, distraction of management and employees, reduced morale and productivity, unexpected employee attrition, an inability to attract or retain key personnel and negative publicity. If we are unable to successfully implement our productivity initiatives, digitalization of our operations or organizational restructurings as planned or do not achieve expected savings or efficiencies as a result of these initiatives, we may not realize all or any of the anticipated benefits, resulting in adverse effects on our financial performance.

***A deterioration in our estimates and underlying assumptions regarding the future performance of our business or investments can result in impairment charges that adversely affect our results of operations.***

We conduct impairment tests on our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. In addition, amortizable intangible assets, equity method investments, equity investments without readily determinable fair values, investments in available-for-sale debt securities, property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment upon a significant change in the operating or macroeconomic environment. Our equity method investees also perform similar impairment tests and we record our proportionate share

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

of impairment charges recorded by them, adjusted for the impact of items such as basis differences and deferred taxes, as appropriate. A deterioration in our underlying assumptions, or those of our equity method investees, regarding the impact of competitive operating conditions, geopolitical conditions, macroeconomic conditions, including the interest rate environment, or other factors used to estimate the future performance of any of our reporting units or assets, including any deterioration in the weighted-average cost of capital based on market data available at the time, as well as our ability to hold the investment until recovery of fair value to amortized cost for available-for-sale debt securities, have resulted and could in the future result in an impairment charge, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations.

***Fluctuations in exchange rates impact our financial performance.***

Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, the financial statements of our subsidiaries outside the United States, where the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars. Given our global operations, we also pay for the ingredients, raw materials and commodities used in our business in numerous currencies. Fluctuations in exchange rates, including as a result of inflation, central bank monetary policies, currency controls or other currency exchange restrictions or geopolitical instability have had, and could continue to have, an adverse impact on our financial performance.

***Our borrowing costs and access to capital and credit markets can be adversely affected by a downgrade or potential downgrade of our credit ratings.***

Rating agencies routinely evaluate us, and their ratings are based on a number of factors, including our cash generating capability, levels of indebtedness, policies with respect to shareholder distributions and our financial strength generally, as well as factors beyond our control, such as the state of the economy and our industry. We expect to maintain Tier 1 commercial paper access, which we believe will facilitate appropriate financial flexibility and ready access to global credit markets at favorable interest rates. Any downgrade or announcement that we are under review for a potential downgrade of our credit ratings, especially any downgrade to below investment grade, can increase our future borrowing costs, impair our ability to access capital and credit markets on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all, result in a reduction in our liquidity, or impair our ability to access the commercial paper market with the same flexibility that we have experienced historically (and therefore require us to rely more heavily on more expensive types of debt financing), all of which can adversely affect our financial performance.

***<u>Legal, Tax and Regulatory Risks</u>***

***Taxes aimed at our products can adversely affect our business or financial performance.***

Certain jurisdictions in which our products are sold have either imposed, or are considering imposing, new or increased taxes on the manufacture, distribution or sale of certain of our beverage products as a result of ingredients contained in such products. These taxes vary in scope and form: some apply to all beverages, including non-caloric beverages, while others apply only to beverages with a caloric sweetener (e.g., sugar). Similarly, some measures apply a single tax rate per ounce/liter on beverages containing over a certain amount of added sugar (or other sweetener), some apply a graduated tax rate depending upon the amount of added sugar (or other sweetener) in the beverage and others apply a flat tax rate on beverages containing any amount of added sugar (or other sweetener). For example, Mexico recently enacted an increase to its existing flat tax on all sweetened beverages, effective January 1, 2026, from a rate of approximately $0.09 (1.64 Mexican pesos) to a rate of approximately $0.17 (3.08 Mexican pesos) per liter. In addition, certain jurisdictions in which our snack products are sold, have either imposed, or are considering imposing, new or increased taxes on the manufacture, distribution or sale of certain of our snack products as a result of ingredients (such as sugar, sodium or saturated fat) contained in such products. These tax measures, whatever their scope or form, have in the past increased and could continue

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

to increase the cost of certain of our products, reduce overall consumption of our products or lead to negative publicity, resulting in an adverse effect on our business and financial performance.

***Limitations on the marketing or sale of our products can adversely affect our business and financial performance.***

Certain jurisdictions in which our products are sold have either imposed, or are considering imposing, limitations on the marketing or sale of our products as a result of ingredients or substances in our products or certain product attributes or packaging. These limitations require that we highlight perceived concerns about a product or product packaging, warn consumers to avoid consumption of certain ingredients or substances present in our products, restrict the age of consumers to whom products are marketed or sold (including bans on advertising during children's TV programs), limit the location in which our products may be available (including limits on the sale of our products in public schools) or discontinue the use of certain ingredients or packaging. For example, in 2025, the state of Texas passed a law, effective January 1, 2027, requiring warning labels on products containing certain ingredients, including artificial colors. Certain jurisdictions have imposed or are considering imposing color-coded labeling requirements where colors such as red, yellow and green are used to indicate various levels of a particular ingredient, such as sugar, sodium or saturated fat, in products, and other jurisdictions, including the United States, have imposed or are considering imposing restrictions on so-called "ultra-processed" foods. The imposition or proposed imposition of additional limitations on the marketing or sale of our products has in the past reduced and could continue to reduce overall consumption of our products, lead to negative publicity or leave consumers with the perception that our products do not meet their health and wellness needs, resulting in an adverse effect on our business and financial performance.

***Laws and regulations related to the use or disposal of plastics or other packaging materials can adversely affect our business and financial performance.***

We rely on diverse packaging solutions to safely deliver products to our customers and consumers. Certain of our products are sold in packaging designed to be recyclable, commercially compostable, biodegradable or reusable. However, not all packaging is recovered or handled as designed, whether due to lack of infrastructure, improper disposal or otherwise, and certain of our packaging is not currently recyclable, commercially compostable, biodegradable or reusable. Packaging waste not properly disposed of that displays one or more of our brands has in the past resulted in and could continue to result in negative publicity, litigation, government investigations or other action or reduced consumer demand for our products, adversely affecting our financial performance. Many jurisdictions in which our products are sold have imposed or are considering imposing laws, regulations or policies intended to encourage the use of sustainable packaging, waste reduction, increased recycling rates or decreased use of single-use plastics or to restrict the sale of products utilizing certain packaging. These laws, regulations and policies vary in form and scope and include extended producer responsibility policies, plastic or packaging taxes, minimum recycled content requirements, restrictions on certain products and materials, requirements for bottle caps to be tethered to bottles, restrictions or bans on the use of certain types of packaging, including single-use plastics and packaging containing PFAS, restrictions on labeling related to recyclability, requirements to charge deposit fees and requirements to scale reusable or refillable packaging. For example, multiple states in the United States have implemented, or are considering implementing, extended producer responsibility laws that will increase expenses, including through fees paid to state governments in connection with such laws. These laws and regulations have in the past increased and could continue to increase the cost of our products, impact demand for our products, result in negative publicity and require us and our business partners, including our independent bottlers, to increase capital expenditures to invest in reducing the amount of virgin plastic or other materials used in our packaging, to develop alternative packaging or to revise product labeling, all of which can adversely affect our business and financial performance.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

***Failure to comply with personal data protection and privacy laws can adversely affect our business.***

We are subject to a variety of continuously evolving and developing laws and regulations in numerous jurisdictions regarding personal data protection and privacy laws. These laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied differently from country to country or, within the United States, from state to state, and can create inconsistent or conflicting requirements. Our efforts to comply with these laws and regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, as well as similar legislation enacted in other states, as well as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the U.K. General Data Protection Regulation (which implements the GDPR into U.K. law), China's Personal Information Protection Act and similar regulations implemented in other non-U.S. jurisdictions, impose significant costs and challenges that are likely to continue to increase over time, particularly as additional jurisdictions continue to adopt similar regulations and we continue to expand our direct-to-consumer operations. The increasing adoption of artificial intelligence technologies has led data protection authorities in many jurisdictions in which we operate to consider and adopt new and evolving interpretations of privacy and data protection laws, with specific obligations regarding processing of personal data, including required notices, consents, and opt-outs. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations or to otherwise protect personal data from unauthorized access, use or other processing, have in the past resulted in and could in the future result in litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries or investigations, damage to our reputation, fines or penalties, all of which can adversely affect our business.

***Increases in income tax rates, changes in income tax laws or disagreements with tax authorities can adversely affect our financial performance.***

Increases in income tax rates or other changes in tax laws, including changes in how existing tax laws are interpreted or enforced, can adversely affect our financial performance. For example, economic and political conditions in countries where we are subject to taxes, including the United States, have in the past resulted in and could continue to result in significant changes in tax legislation or regulation. Numerous countries, including European Union member states, have enacted or are expected to enact legislation incorporating the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) model rules for a global minimum tax rate of 15% with widespread implementation expected by the end of 2026. As the legislation becomes effective in countries in which we do business, our taxes will increase and negatively impact our provision for income taxes. This increasingly complex global tax environment has in the past increased and could continue to increase tax uncertainty, resulting in higher compliance costs and adverse effects on our financial performance. We are also subject to regular reviews, examinations and audits by numerous taxing authorities with respect to income and non-income based taxes. Economic and political pressures to increase tax revenues in jurisdictions in which we operate, or the adoption of new or reformed tax legislation or regulation, has made and could continue to make resolving tax disputes more difficult and the final resolution of tax audits and any related litigation can materially differ from our historical provisions and accruals, which can adversely affect our financial performance.

***If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, or if we are found to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, our business can be adversely affected.***

We possess intellectual property rights that are important to our business, including ingredient formulas, trademarks, copyrights, patents, business processes and other trade secrets. The laws of various jurisdictions in which we operate have differing levels of protection of intellectual property. Our competitive position and the value of our products and brands can be reduced and our business adversely affected if we fail to obtain or adequately protect our intellectual property, including our ingredient formulas, or if there is a change in law that limits or removes the current legal protections afforded our intellectual property. Also, in the course of developing new products or improving the quality of existing products, we have in the past been alleged to have infringed, and could in the future infringe or be alleged

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

to infringe, on the intellectual property rights of others. In addition, our use of artificial intelligence may result in increased claims of infringement or other claims, including those based on unauthorized use of third-party technology or content. Such infringement or allegations of infringement could result in expensive litigation and damages, damage to our reputation, disruption to our operations, injunctions against development, manufacturing, use and/or sale of certain products, inventory write-offs or other limitations on our ability to introduce new products or improve the quality of existing products, resulting in an adverse effect on our business. In addition, we cannot ensure that licensees and other third parties who hold licenses to our intellectual property will not take actions that adversely affect the value of our intellectual property.

***Failure to comply with laws and regulations applicable to our business can adversely affect our business.***

The conduct of our business is subject to numerous laws and regulations relating to the production, processing, storage, distribution, sale, display, advertising, marketing, labeling, content (including whether a product contains artificial colors or flavors or genetically engineered ingredients), quality, safety, transportation, supply chain (including human rights), traceability, sourcing (including pesticide use), packaging, disposal, recycling and use of our products or raw materials, employment and occupational health and safety, environmental, social and governance matters and reporting (including climate change), machine learning and artificial intelligence (including generative artificial intelligence), international trade (including sanctions and export controls), and data privacy and protection. In addition, in many jurisdictions, compliance with competition and antitrust laws is of special importance to us due to our competitive position, as is compliance with anti-corruption laws. The imposition of new laws or regulatory requirements (including sanctions), changes in laws or regulatory requirements or changing interpretations or uncertainty regarding the interpretation thereof (including as a result of executive orders), changes in the enforcement priorities of regulators, and differing or competing regulations and standards across the markets where our products or raw materials are made, manufactured, distributed or sold, have in the past resulted in and could continue to result in higher compliance costs, capital expenditures and higher production costs, or make it necessary for us to reformulate certain of our products or otherwise make changes to our operations, resulting in adverse effects on our business. For example, increasing governmental and societal attention to environmental, social and governance matters has resulted in and could continue to result in new laws or regulatory requirements, including expanded disclosure requirements that are expected to continue to expand the nature, scope and complexity of matters on which we are required to report. Further, the legal and regulatory landscape for certain new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, is uncertain and evolving and our compliance obligations could continue to increase our costs or limit how we may use these technologies in one or more of our businesses. In addition, the entry into new markets or categories has resulted in and could continue to result in our business being subject to additional regulations resulting in higher compliance costs. If one jurisdiction imposes or proposes to impose new laws or regulations that impact the manufacture, distribution or sale of our products, other jurisdictions may follow. Failure to comply with such laws or regulations (or allegations thereof) can subject us to criminal or civil investigations or enforcement actions, including voluntary and involuntary document requests, fines, injunctions, product recalls, penalties, disgorgement of profits or activity restrictions, all of which can adversely affect our business. In addition, increasing governmental attention to processing and certain ingredients or substances present in certain of our products or packaging materials as well as the results of third-party studies (whether or not scientifically valid) purporting to assess the health implications of consumption of such ingredients or substances have resulted in and could continue to result in increased regulatory scrutiny and our being subject to new taxes and regulations or lawsuits that can adversely affect our business.

***Potential liabilities and costs from litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries or investigations can have an adverse impact on our business.***

We and our subsidiaries have been, and in the future may be, party to a variety of litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries and investigations, including but not limited to matters related to our advertising, marketing or commercial practices, product labels, claims and ingredients, processing, food safety, personal injury, property damage, intellectual property rights, privacy, employment, tax and insurance matters, environmental, social and governance matters, including concerns or perceptions regarding our packaging and its environmental impact, the efficacy of recycling, our sustainability goals and our workforce policies and initiatives, shareholder-initiated actions, and matters relating to our compliance with applicable laws and regulations. For example, as a global food and beverage company, we are subject to increased regulatory scrutiny and face legal challenges in a variety of jurisdictions concerning alleged health implications associated with consumption of certain of our food products, our development or marketing of those products and/or the alleged environmental impact of the packaging used for certain of our products. These matters are inherently uncertain and there is no guarantee that we will be successful in defending ourselves or that our assessment of the materiality of these matters and the likely outcome or potential losses and established reserves will be consistent with the ultimate outcome of such matters. Responding to these matters, even those that are ultimately non-meritorious, requires us to incur significant expense and devote significant resources, and may generate adverse publicity that damages our reputation or brand image. Any of the foregoing can adversely affect our business.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.**

We have received no written comments regarding our periodic or current reports from the staff of the SEC that were issued 180 days or more preceding the end of our 2025 fiscal year and that remain unresolved.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity.**

***Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy***

We are regularly subject to cyberattacks and other cyber incidents. In response, we have implemented cybersecurity processes, technologies, and controls to aid in our efforts to assess, identify, and manage cybersecurity risks. Our enterprise risk management framework considers cybersecurity risk alongside other company risks as part of our overall risk assessment process. Our enterprise risk management team collaborates with our Cybersecurity function, led by the Company's Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer and the Company's Chief Information Security Officer, to gather insights for identifying, assessing and managing cybersecurity threat risks, their severity, and potential mitigations.

We assess PepsiCo's Cybersecurity program using an industry-leading cybersecurity framework from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. To help assess and identify our cybersecurity risks, we maintain internal resources to perform penetration testing designed to simulate evolving tactics and techniques of real-world threat actors, engage with industry partners and law enforcement and intelligence communities and conduct tabletop exercises and periodic risk interviews across our business. We also engage an independent third party to perform internal and external penetration testing of PepsiCo's environment periodically and engage other third parties to periodically conduct assessments of our cybersecurity capabilities. In addition, we continue to expand training and awareness practices to mitigate human risk, including mandatory computer-based training, internal communications, and regular phishing awareness campaigns that are designed to emulate real-world contemporary threats and provide immediate feedback (and, if necessary, additional training or remedial action) to employees.

Our processes also address cybersecurity risks associated with our use of third-party service providers including suppliers, software and cloud-based service providers. We proactively evaluate the cybersecurity risk of a third party by utilizing a repository of risk assessments, external monitoring

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

sources, threat intelligence and predictive analytics to better inform PepsiCo during contracting and vendor selection processes. Additionally, we require those third parties to agree by contract to implement appropriate security controls. Security issues are documented and tracked and periodic monitoring is conducted for third parties in order to mitigate risk.

In addition to the processes, technologies, and controls that we have in place to reduce the likelihood of a successful material cyberattack, the Company has established well-defined response procedures to address cyber events that do occur. The program provides for the coordination of various corporate functions and governance groups and serves as a framework for the execution of responsibilities across businesses and operational roles. Our incident response plan coordinates the activities we take to prepare for, detect, respond to and recover from cybersecurity incidents, which include processes to triage, assess severity for, escalate, contain, investigate, and remediate the incident, as well as to assess for potential disclosure, comply with potentially applicable legal obligations and mitigate brand and reputational damage. We also maintain insurance coverage that, subject to its terms and conditions, is intended to address costs associated with certain aspects of cyber incidents and information systems failures.

Based on the information we have as of the date of this Form 10-K, we do not believe any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for further information about these risks.

***Cybersecurity Governance***

Cybersecurity is an important part of our risk management processes and an area of focus for our Board and management. Given that cybersecurity risks can impact various areas of responsibility of the Committees of the Board, the Board believes it is useful and effective for the full Board to maintain direct oversight over cybersecurity matters. In 2021, the Board amended our Corporate Governance Guidelines to specifically mention cybersecurity as an area of Board oversight to reflect this existing practice. The Board receives and provides feedback on regular updates from management, including from the Company's Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer and the Company's Chief Information Security Officer, regarding cybersecurity governance processes, the status of projects to strengthen internal cybersecurity, results from third-party assessments, and also discusses any significant cyber incidents, including recent incidents at other companies and the emerging threat landscape.

Our cybersecurity risk management and strategy processes, which are discussed in greater detail above, are led by the Company's Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer and the Company's Chief Information Security Officer. Such individuals have significant prior work experience in various roles across multiple industries involving managing information security, developing cybersecurity strategy, implementing effective information and cybersecurity programs and managing compliance environments.

These members of management are informed about and monitor the prevention, mitigation, detection, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents through their management of, and participation in, the cybersecurity risk management and strategy processes described above, including the operation of our incident response plan.

**Item 3. Legal Proceedings.**

We are party to the following litigation asserting claims for public nuisance, and deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of business among other related claims allegedly resulting in plastic pollution in certain areas.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On November 15, 2023, the Attorney General of New York, on behalf of the people of the State of New York, filed a lawsuit against PepsiCo, Inc., Frito-Lay, Inc. and Frito-Lay North America, Inc. (the NYS Matter). This matter was assigned to the Commercial Division of the New York State Supreme Court – Erie County. On November 8, 2024, the court granted our motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. On December 9, 2024, the plaintiff provided notice that it would appeal to the New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division – Fourth Department and filed its brief before the appellate court on January 6, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On June 20, 2024, the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, Maryland filed a lawsuit against PepsiCo, Inc., Frito-Lay, Inc., Frito-Lay North America, Inc., and several other unrelated parties

(the Baltimore Matter). On July 21, 2025, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland dismissed with prejudice all claims except for public nuisance. The court did not opine on the public nuisance claim and stayed the case pending a decision in three cases unrelated to PepsiCo that are before the Maryland Supreme Court.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On October 29, 2024, County Counsel for the County of Los Angeles, on behalf of the people of the State of California, filed a lawsuit against PepsiCo, Inc., Pepsi Bottling Ventures LLC, and two other unrelated parties (the Los Angeles Matter). This lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for Los Angeles County. On May 21, 2025, Pepsi Bottling Ventures LLC was dismissed from the suit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On April 11, 2025, the Commissioner of the Department of Licensing and Consumer Affairs and Government of the United States Virgin Islands filed a lawsuit against PepsiCo, Inc., PepsiCo Caribbean, Inc., and two other unrelated parties (the USVI Matter). The lawsuit was initially filed in the Superior Court of the United States Virgin Islands, Division of St. Croix. On May 19, 2025, the defendants removed the case to federal court in the United States District Court of the Virgin Islands, Division of St. Croix. On June 18, 2025, the Government of the United States Virgin Islands filed a motion to remand the case back to the Superior Court. That motion is pending.

The lawsuits mentioned above do not specify the amount of damages sought and we believe we have strong defenses to each of the respective claims.

In addition, we and our subsidiaries are party to a variety of litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries and investigations. While the results of the NYS Matter, Baltimore Matter, Los Angeles Matter, USVI Matter and each such other litigation, claim, legal or regulatory proceeding, inquiry and investigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of the foregoing will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

**OUR BUSINESS**

**Executive Overview**

PepsiCo is a leading global beverage and convenient food company with a complementary portfolio of brands, including Lay's, Doritos, Cheetos, Gatorade, Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, Quaker and SodaStream. Through our operations, authorized bottlers, contract manufacturers, and other third parties, we make, market, distribute, and sell a wide array of beverages and convenient foods, serving customers and consumers in more than 200 countries and territories.

As a global company with strong local connections, we faced many of the same challenges in 2025 as our consumers, customers, and competitors worldwide. These included ongoing supply chain disruptions; tariffs; persistent inflationary pressures; evolving consumer consumption patterns and preferences; an intensely competitive business environment, including the increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies; the continued expansion of e-commerce in a rapidly changing retail landscape, including customers moving away from DSD systems; the need for further innovation and collaboration as we progress toward our ambitious packaging and other goals; ongoing macroeconomic and political volatility; and an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

In response to these challenges, we have continued to adapt and innovate, reinforcing our resilience and continued focus on growth. We are focused on improving our productivity, optimizing our operations and harnessing our scale and capabilities across our markets and further elevating the interests, occasions, and channels of consumers in our strategies to lead and shape the future of our categories. This is underpinned by our pep+ (PepsiCo Positive) transformation, now in its fifth year.

**A Bold Ambition:** Against this backdrop, we have a clear set of priorities: reigniting our North America business by combining operations where it makes the most sense and using the savings to support meaningful investments in our brands; increasing the size, presence and scale of our International business, with a focus on capturing growth in large and developing markets; and working to grow our away-from-home business by expanding our availability and extending into new occasions.

**Laying the Groundwork:** Since 2018, we have made significant investments in the business to adapt to the changing landscape. This includes increasing investments to strengthen our brands, from transforming our portfolio through innovation and acquisitions, to foundational investments in technology and artificial intelligence to position ourselves to be fit for the future, building a set of high impact commercial, operational, and digital capabilities; expanding and updating our manufacturing footprint to enable geographic growth and capture future demand; right-sizing and modernizing our warehousing and distribution capacity; and transforming our operating model to become more agile, efficient and responsive to the consumer.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

**Big Changes to Big Things:** Guided by pep+, we continue to work to reshape our portfolio to fit today's world. That includes: reducing added sugar, sodium and saturated fat in core brands like Lay's and Gatorade; advancing efforts to remove artificial colors and flavors in brands like Lay's, Cheetos, and Doritos; adding new products with functional benefits, such as Pepsi Prebiotic Cola; and welcoming popular brands like Siete, Sabra and poppi.

We continued to expand our away-from-home business into new occasions. The successful Walking Taco platform is thriving in stadiums, arenas, and parks across the United States, while our "Food Deserves Pepsi" campaign and the "Pepsi Zero Sugar Taste Challenge" have driven higher brand awareness and contributed positively to our performance.

We are becoming a more deeply integrated, more productive organization. This has been one of our biggest priorities over the past year. Since we shifted our operating model at the start of 2025, we have worked hard to be more agile, simpler and more unified. From sharing global services, to streamlining processes, to launching our first new corporate brand identity in nearly 25 years, we are making One PepsiCo real. In North America, we are carefully evaluating an integrated model for our food and beverage supply chains, go-to-market, and commercial capabilities and intend to take a nuanced approach factoring in key components such as return on investment, scale and market share. Our Global Capability Centers now support multiple functions, enabling us to centralize information, reduce duplicative work, and share best practices across the organization.

We are building smarter systems with technologies like artificial intelligence to better serve our customers and consumers, so we can have the right products, at the right place, at the right price. Through our collaborations with cutting-edge technology providers, we are using artificial intelligence to reimagine our go-to-market model, enhance customer support, and empower sales teams to focus on strategic growth. This allows us to unify data, gain real-time inventory visibility, and provide faster, more responsive customer service.

We are becoming more resilient through pep+. pep+ remains central to our strategy, ensuring that we continue to create value for shareholders, customers and consumers, while doing what is right for communities and the planet. In 2025, we stepped up our efforts around key pillars like regenerative agriculture and water use efficiency, with the aim to make a positive impact in markets around the world.

**Our Operations**

See "Item 1. Business" for information on our segments and a description of our distribution network, ingredients and other supplies, brands and intellectual property rights, seasonality, customers, competition, research and development, regulatory matters and human capital. In addition, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for financial information about our segments and geographic areas.

**Other Relationships**

Certain members of our Board also serve on the boards of certain vendors and customers. These Board members do not participate in our vendor selection and negotiations nor in our customer negotiations. Our transactions with these vendors and customers are in the normal course of business and are consistent with terms negotiated with other vendors and customers. In addition, certain of our employees serve on the boards of Pepsi Bottling Ventures LLC and other affiliated companies of PepsiCo and do not receive incremental compensation for such services.

**Our Business Risks**

***Risks Associated with Commodities and Our Supply Chain***

Many of the commodities used in the production and transportation of our products are purchased in the open market. The prices we pay for such items are subject to fluctuation, and we manage this risk through

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

the use of fixed-price contracts and purchase orders, pricing agreements and derivative instruments, including swaps and futures. A number of external factors, including volatile geopolitical conditions, the inflationary cost environment, import/export restrictions and tariffs, adverse weather conditions and supply chain disruptions, have impacted and may continue to impact commodity, transportation and labor costs. When prices increase, we may or may not pass on such increases to our customers, which may result in reduced volume, revenue, margins and operating results.

See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for further information on how we manage our exposure to commodity prices.

***Risks Associated with Climate Change***

Certain jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold have either imposed, or are considering imposing, new or increased legal and regulatory requirements to reduce or mitigate the potential effects of climate change, including regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and potential carbon pricing programs. These new or increased legal or regulatory requirements, along with initiatives to meet our sustainability goals, could result in significant increased costs and additional investments in facilities and equipment. However, we are unable to predict the scope, nature and timing of any new or increased environmental laws and regulations and therefore cannot predict the ultimate impact of such laws and regulations on our business or financial results. We continue to monitor existing and proposed laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed and sold and to consider actions we may take to potentially mitigate the unfavorable impact, if any, of such laws or regulations.

***Risks Associated with International Operations***

We are subject to risks in the normal course of business that are inherent to international operations. During the periods presented in this report, volatile economic, political, social and geopolitical conditions, civil unrest and wars and other military conflicts, acts of terrorism and natural disasters and other catastrophic events in certain markets in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold, including in Argentina, Brazil, China, Mexico, the Middle East (including Egypt), Russia, Turkey and Ukraine, continue to result in challenging operating environments and have resulted in and could continue to result in changes in how we operate in certain of these markets. Debt and credit issues, currency controls or fluctuations, sanctions and export controls in certain of these international markets (including restrictions on the transfer of funds to and from certain markets) have also continued to impact our operations in certain of these international markets. We continue to closely monitor the economic, operating and political environment in the markets in which we operate, including risks of additional impairments or write-offs and currency fluctuation, and to identify actions to potentially mitigate any unfavorable impacts on our future results.

Our operations in Russia accounted for 5% and 4% of our consolidated net revenue for the years ended December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively. Russia accounted for 5% and 3% of our consolidated assets, 20% and 10% of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents, and 39% and 41% of our accumulated currency translation adjustment loss as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.

See Notes 1 and 4 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of impairment and other charges recognized in the years ended December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024, and December 30, 2023.

***Risks Associated with Tariffs***

The imposition of tariffs (including U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on China, the European Union, Canada and Mexico and other countries and any tariffs imposed by such countries) have impacted and could continue to impact our supply chain resulting in increased input costs, including the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

cost of certain raw materials and packaging. The impact of tariffs will continue to vary, including based on where inputs are sourced from and shipped to. In addition, any supply chain constraints, inflationary impacts or reduced consumer demand for our products as a result of such tariffs or ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty have impacted and could continue to impact our results. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact of these tariffs on our business and to identify actions to potentially mitigate, where possible, any unfavorable impacts on our future results.

***Imposition of Taxes and Regulations on our Products***

Certain jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold have either imposed, or are considering imposing, new or increased taxes or regulations on the manufacture, distribution or sale of our products or their packaging, ingredients or substances contained in, or attributes of, our products or their packaging, commodities used in the production of our products or their packaging or the recyclability or recoverability of our packaging. These taxes and regulations vary in scope and form. For example, some taxes apply to all beverages, including non-caloric beverages, while others apply only to beverages with a caloric sweetener (e.g., sugar). Further, some regulations apply to all products using certain types of packaging (e.g., plastic), while others are designed to increase the sustainability of packaging, encourage waste reduction and increased recycling rates or facilitate the waste management process or restrict the sale of products in certain packaging. In addition, certain jurisdictions in which our snack products are sold have either imposed or are considering imposing, new or increased taxes on the manufacture, distribution or sale of certain of our snack products as a result of ingredients (such as sugar, sodium or saturated fat) contained in our products.

We sell a wide variety of beverages and convenient foods in more than 200 countries and territories and the profile of the products we sell, the amount of revenue attributable to such products and the type of packaging used vary by jurisdiction. Because of this, we cannot predict the scope or form potential taxes, regulations or other limitations on our products or their packaging may take, and therefore cannot predict the impact of such taxes, regulations or limitations on our financial results. In addition, taxes, regulations and limitations may impact us and our competitors differently. We expect continued scrutiny of certain ingredients and substances present in certain of our products and packaging. We continue to monitor existing and proposed taxes and regulations in the jurisdictions in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed and sold and to consider actions we may take to potentially mitigate the unfavorable impact, if any, of such taxes, regulations or limitations, including advocating alternative measures with respect to the imposition, form and scope of any such taxes, regulations or limitations.

***OECD Model Global Minimum Tax***

Numerous countries, including European Union member states, have enacted or are expected to enact legislation incorporating the OECD model rules for a global minimum tax rate of 15% with widespread implementation expected by the end of 2026. As the legislation becomes effective in countries in which we do business, our taxes will increase and negatively impact our provision for income taxes.

***Retail Landscape***

Our industry continues to be affected by disruption of the retail landscape, including the continued growth in sales through e-commerce websites and mobile commerce applications, including through subscription services, the integration of physical and digital operations among retailers and the international expansion of hard discounters. We have seen and expect to continue to see a further shift to e-commerce, online-to-offline and other online purchasing by consumers. We continue to monitor changes in the retail landscape and seek to identify actions we may take to build our global e-commerce and digital capabilities, such as expanding our direct-to-consumer business, and distribute our products effectively through all existing and emerging channels of trade and potentially mitigate any unfavorable impacts on our future results.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

Changing dynamics at the retail level have also impacted and may continue to impact our ability to grow in certain jurisdictions. In this changing retail landscape, retailers and buying groups are shifting traditional value propositions, removing our products or otherwise reducing shelf space allocated to our products and focusing on introducing and developing private-label brands. We have seen and expect to continue to see retailers and buying groups impact our ability to compete in these jurisdictions. We continue to monitor our relationships with retailers and buying groups and seek to identify actions we may take to maintain mutually beneficial relationships and resolve any significant disputes and potentially mitigate any unfavorable impacts on our future results.

See also "Item 1A. Risk Factors," "Executive Overview" above and "Market Risks" below for more information about these risks and the actions we have taken to address key challenges.

***Risk Management Framework*** 

The achievement of our strategic and operating objectives involves risks, many of which evolve over time. To identify, assess, prioritize, address, manage, monitor and communicate these risks across the Company's operations and foster a corporate culture of integrity and risk awareness, we leverage an integrated risk management framework. This framework includes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PepsiCo's Board has oversight responsibility for PepsiCo's integrated risk management framework. One of the Board's primary responsibilities is overseeing and interacting with senior management with respect to key aspects of the Company's business, including risk assessment and risk mitigation of the Company's top risks. Throughout the year, the Board and relevant Committees of the Board receive updates from management with respect to various enterprise risk management issues and dedicate a portion of their meetings to reviewing and discussing specific risk topics in greater detail, including risks related to cybersecurity, food safety, sustainability, human capital management and supply chain and commodity inflation. The Board receives and provides feedback on regular updates from management regarding the Company's top risks, including updates from members of management responsible for overseeing impacted areas (for example, the Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer and Chief Information Security Officer), governance processes associated with managing these risks, the status of projects to strengthen the Company's risk mitigation efforts and recent incidents impacting the industry and threat landscape. Given that cybersecurity risks can impact various areas of responsibility of the Committees of the Board, the Board believes it is useful and effective for the full Board to maintain direct oversight over cybersecurity matters. In evaluating top risks, the Board and management consider short-, medium- and long-term potential impacts on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, including looking at the internal and external environment when evaluating risks, risk amplifiers and emerging trends, and considers the risk horizon as part of prioritizing the Company's risk mitigation efforts. The Board receives updates through presentations, memos and other written materials, teleconferences and other appropriate means of communication, with numerous opportunities for discussion and feedback, and continuously evaluates its approach in addressing top risks as circumstances evolve. For example, as part of risk updates to the Board and relevant Committees during 2025, the Board or its relevant Committee were provided updates on the impact of disruptive events, including geopolitical events and tensions in certain international markets. The Board also receives periodic updates from external experts and advisers on global macroeconomic trends and conditions that may impact the Company's strategy and financial performance, including geopolitical conflicts, economic instability, labor market trends, changing consumer behavior, retail disruption and digitalization.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

The Board has tasked designated Committees of the Board with oversight of certain categories of risk management, and the Committees report to the Board regularly on these matters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ The Audit Committee of the Board reviews and assesses the guidelines and policies governing PepsiCo's risk management and oversight processes, and assists the Board's oversight of financial, compliance and employee safety risks facing PepsiCo. The Audit Committee also assists the Board's oversight of the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the Chief Compliance & Ethics Officer, who reports to the General Counsel, meets regularly with the Audit Committee, including in executive session without management present;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ The Compensation Committee of the Board reviews PepsiCo's employee compensation policies and practices to assess whether such policies and practices could lead to unnecessary risk-taking behavior;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board in its oversight of the Company's governance structure and other corporate governance matters, including succession planning; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ The Sustainability and Public Policy Committee of the Board assists the Board in its oversight of PepsiCo's policies, programs and related risks that concern key sustainability (including climate change), inclusion and public policy matters.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The PepsiCo Risk Committee (PRC) meets regularly to identify, assess, prioritize and address top strategic, financial, operating, compliance, safety, reputational and other risks. The PRC is also responsible for reporting progress on our risk mitigation efforts to the Board and designated Committees. The PRC is comprised of a cross-functional, geographically diverse, senior management group, including PepsiCo's Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, Region Chief Executive Officers, and the heads of Enterprise Risk, Corporate Affairs, Human Resources, Research & Development, Information Technology, Sustainability, Strategy, Transformation, International Beverages, Commercial, Global Operations and Marketing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Segment and key market risk committees, comprised of cross-functional senior management teams, meet regularly to identify, assess, prioritize and address segment and market-specific business risks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PepsiCo's Risk Management Office, which manages the overall risk management process, provides ongoing guidance, tools and analytical support to the PRC and the segment and key market and function risk committees, identifies and assesses potential risks and facilitates ongoing communication between the parties, as well as with PepsiCo's Board, the Audit Committee of the Board and other Committees of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PepsiCo's Internal Audit Department evaluates the ongoing effectiveness of our key internal controls through periodic audit and review procedures; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PepsiCo's Compliance & Ethics and Law Departments lead and coordinate our compliance policies and practices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• PepsiCo's Disclosure Committee, comprised of the General Counsel, Controller and heads of Internal Audit, Financial Planning & Analysis and Investor Relations, evaluates information from PepsiCo's integrated risk management framework as part of the Disclosure Committee's monitoring of the integrity and effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. PepsiCo's risk oversight processes and disclosure controls and procedures are

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

designed to appropriately escalate key risks to the Board as well as to analyze potential risks for disclosure.

***Market Risks***

We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• commodity prices, affecting the cost of our raw materials and energy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreign exchange rates and currency restrictions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• interest rates.

In the normal course of business, we manage commodity price, foreign exchange and interest rate risks through a variety of strategies, including productivity initiatives, global purchasing programs and hedging. Ongoing productivity initiatives involve the identification and effective implementation of meaningful cost-saving opportunities or efficiencies, including the use of derivatives. Our global purchasing programs include fixed-price contracts and purchase orders and pricing agreements. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for further discussion of our market risks.

The fair value of our derivatives fluctuates based on market rates and prices. The sensitivity of our derivatives to these market fluctuations is discussed below. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of these derivatives and our hedging policies. The fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets is impacted by changes in market conditions, including interest rates and inflationary, deflationary and recessionary conditions. See "Our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" for a discussion of the exposure of our goodwill and other intangible assets and pension and retiree medical plan assets and liabilities to risks related to market fluctuations.

Inflationary, deflationary and recessionary conditions impacting these market risks also impact the demand for and pricing of our products. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for further discussion.

*Commodity Prices*

Our commodity derivative contracts had a total notional value of $1.5 billion as of December 27, 2025 and $1.4 billion as of December 28, 2024. At the end of 2025, the potential change in fair value of commodity derivative contracts, assuming a 10% decrease in the underlying commodity price, would have decreased our net unrealized gains in 2025 by $155 million, which would generally be offset by a reduction in the cost of the underlying commodity purchases.

*Foreign Exchange*

Our operations outside of the United States generated 44% of our consolidated net revenue in 2025, with Mexico, Russia, Canada, China, the United Kingdom, Brazil and South Africa, collectively, comprising 25% of our consolidated net revenue in 2025. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risks in the international markets in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold. Additionally, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk from net investments in foreign subsidiaries, foreign currency purchases, foreign currency assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business. During 2025, unfavorable foreign exchange had a net nominal impact on net revenue performance primarily due to declines in the Mexican peso and Turkish lira, offset by an appreciation of the Russian ruble. Currency declines against the U.S. dollar which are not offset could adversely impact our future financial results.

Our foreign exchange derivative contracts had a total notional value of $3.1 billion as of both December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024. At the end of 2025, we estimate that an unfavorable 10% change in the underlying exchange rates would have increased our net unrealized losses in 2025 by $308 million, which would be significantly offset by an inverse change in the fair value of the underlying exposure. Subsequent to December 27, 2025, we executed $1.6 billion of foreign exchange contracts

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

maturing in February 2026 and designated them as net investment hedges to partially offset the effects of foreign currency on our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries.

Our cross-currency swap contracts had a total notional value of $1.7 billion as of December 27, 2025 and $1.2 billion as of December 28, 2024. At the end of 2025, we estimate that an unfavorable 10% change in the underlying exchange rates would have increased our net unrealized losses in 2025 by $173 million, which would be significantly offset by an inverse change in the fair value of the underlying exposure.

The total notional amount of our debt instruments designated as net investment hedges was $4.4 billion as of December 27, 2025 and $2.9 billion as of December 28, 2024. Subsequent to December 27, 2025, we designated $4.5 billion of existing euro denominated debt as net investment hedges to partially offset the effects of foreign currency on our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries.

*Interest Rates*

Our interest rate swap contracts had a total notional value of $2.0 billion as of both December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024. Assuming year-end 2025 investment levels and variable rate debt, a 1-percentage-point increase in interest rates would have decreased our net interest expense in 2025 by $36 million due to higher cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments levels, as compared with our variable rate debt.

**OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS**

**Results of Operations — Consolidated Review**

***Volume***

Physical or unit volume is one of the key metrics management uses internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including the preparation of our annual operating plan and the evaluation of our business performance. We believe volume provides additional information to facilitate the comparison of our historical operating performance and underlying trends, and provides additional transparency on how we evaluate our business because it measures demand for our products at the consumer level. Unit volume performance adjusts for the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. Acquisitions and divestitures, when used in this report, reflect mergers and acquisitions activity, as well as divestitures and other structural changes. Further, unit volume performance excludes the impact of a 53<sup>rd</sup> reporting week, where applicable. Our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of each December, resulting in an additional reporting week every five or six years (53<sup>rd</sup> reporting week).

Beverage volume includes volume of concentrate sold to independent bottlers and volume of finished products bearing company-owned or licensed trademarks and allied brand products and joint venture trademarks sold by company-owned bottling operations. Beverage volume also includes volume of finished products bearing company-owned or licensed trademarks sold by our noncontrolled affiliates. Concentrate volume sold to independent bottlers is reported in concentrate shipments and equivalents (CSE), whereas finished beverage product volume is reported in bottler case sales (BCS). Both CSE and BCS convert all beverage volume to an 8-ounce-case metric. Typically, CSE and BCS are not equal in any given period due to seasonality, timing of product launches, product mix, bottler inventory practices and other factors. While our net revenue is not entirely based on BCS volume due to the independent bottlers in our supply chain, we believe that BCS is a better measure of the consumption of our beverage products. PBNA, IB Franchise and EMEA, either independently or in conjunction with third parties, make, market, distribute and sell ready-to-drink tea products through a joint venture with Unilever (under the Lipton brand name), and PBNA, either independently or in conjunction with third parties, makes, markets, distributes and sells ready-to-drink coffee products through a joint venture with Starbucks.

Convenient food volume includes volume sold by us and our noncontrolled affiliates of convenient food products bearing company-owned or licensed trademarks. Internationally, we measure convenient food

product volume in kilograms, while in North America we measure convenient food product volume in pounds.

***Consolidated Net Revenue and Operating Profit***

| Net revenue | $**93925** | $91854 | **2%** |
| Operating profit | $**11498** | $12887 | **(11)%** |
| Operating margin | **12.2%** | 14.0% | **(1.8)** |

---

See "Results of Operations – Segment Review" for a tabular presentation and discussion of key drivers of net revenue.

Operating profit decreased 11%, primarily driven by certain operating cost increases, impairment charges related to the Rockstar brand, a decline in organic volume, a 5-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs and higher acquisition and divestiture-related charges. These impacts were partially offset by productivity savings and effective net pricing. Additionally, a favorable impact of prior-year impairment and other charges associated with our TBG investment and receivables related to the sale of Tropicana, Naked and other select juice brands (Juice Transaction) and lower advertising and marketing expenses contributed to the decline.

---

Other pension and retiree medical benefits expense increased $111 million, primarily reflecting recognition of fixed income losses on plan assets and the impact of the freeze of benefit accruals to U.S. salaried participants effective December 31, 2025. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Net interest expense and other increased $202 million, due to higher average debt balances, higher interest rates on average debt balances and lower interest rates on average cash balances, partially offset by higher average cash balances.

The reported tax rate decreased 0.4 percentage points, primarily reflecting the release of federal interest accruals.

(a)Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

(b)In certain instances, the impact of organic volume change on net revenue performance differs from the unit volume change disclosed in the following segment discussions due to the impacts of product mix, nonconsolidated joint venture volume, and, for our franchise beverage businesses, temporary timing differences between BCS and CSE. We report net revenue from our franchise beverage businesses based on CSE. The volume sold by our nonconsolidated joint ventures has no direct impact on our net revenue.

**PFNA**

Net revenue increased slightly, primarily driven by the favorable impact of acquisitions and effective net pricing, partially offset by a decrease in organic volume.

Unit volume declined 2%, driven by a 3% decrease in savory snacks volume.

Operating profit decreased 7%, primarily reflecting certain operating cost increases, including strategic initiatives, higher restructuring charges and the decrease in organic volume. These impacts were partially offset by productivity savings and a favorable impact of the prior-year charges associated with a previously announced voluntary recall of certain bars and cereals in our PFNA segment (Quaker Recall).

**PBNA**

Net revenue increased 1.5%, primarily driven by effective net pricing, partially offset by an organic volume decline.

Unit volume declined 3%, driven by a 6% decline in non-carbonated beverage volume and a slight decline in CSD volume.

Operating profit decreased 53%, primarily reflecting impairment charges related to the Rockstar brand. Operating profit also decreased due to certain operating cost increases, acquisition and divestiture-related charges related to our VNGR Beverage, LLC (poppi) acquisition, the decline in organic volume and a 5-percentage-point impact of higher commodity costs, driven by a 6-percentage-point impact of tariffs. These impacts were partially offset by a favorable impact of prior-year impairment and other charges associated with our TBG investment and Juice Transaction-related receivables, the effective net pricing, productivity savings, and lower advertising and marketing expenses.

**IB Franchise**

Net revenue increased 2%, primarily reflecting effective net pricing.

Unit volume grew 1.5%, primarily reflecting growth in the Middle East, China and Pakistan.

Operating profit increased 21%, primarily reflecting a favorable impact of a prior-year indirect tax reserve, the net revenue growth and lower advertising and marketing costs, partially offset by an impairment charge related to the Rockstar brand.

**Non-GAAP Measures**

Certain financial measures contained in this Form 10-K adjust for the impact of specified items and are not in accordance with GAAP. We use non-GAAP financial measures internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including the preparation of our annual operating plan, evaluation of our overall business performance and as a factor in determining compensation for certain employees. We believe presenting non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-K provides additional information to facilitate comparison of our historical operating results and trends in our underlying operating results and provides additional transparency on how we evaluate our business. We also believe presenting these measures in this Form 10-K allows investors to view our performance using the same measures that we use in evaluating our financial and business performance and trends.

We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

performance or trends. Examples of items for which we may make adjustments include: amounts related to mark-to-market gains or losses (non-cash); charges related to restructuring plans; charges associated with acquisitions and divestitures; gains associated with divestitures; asset impairment charges (non-cash); product recall-related impact; pension and retiree medical-related amounts, including all settlement and curtailment gains and losses; charges or adjustments related to the enactment of new laws, rules or regulations, such as tax law changes; amounts related to the resolution of tax positions; tax benefits related to reorganizations of our operations; and debt redemptions, cash tender or exchange offers. See below and "Items Affecting Comparability" for a description of adjustments to our GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

The following non-GAAP financial measures contained in this Form 10-K are discussed below:

*Organic revenue performance*

We define organic revenue performance as a measure that adjusts for the impacts of foreign exchange translation (on a constant currency basis, as defined below), acquisitions and divestitures, and every five or six years, the impact of the 53<sup>rd</sup> reporting week. Beginning in 2025, on a prospective basis, we are also applying the constant currency calculation for our subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. Adjusting for acquisitions and divestitures reflects mergers and acquisitions activity, as well as divestitures and other structural changes, including changes in ownership or control in consolidated subsidiaries and nonconsolidated equity investees. We believe organic revenue performance provides useful information in evaluating the results of our business because it adjusts for items that we believe are not indicative of ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior year.

See "Net Revenue and Organic Revenue Performance" in "Results of Operations **–** Segment Review" for further information.

*Cost of sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, impairment of intangible assets, other pension and retiree medical benefits expense/income, provision for income taxes and net income attributable to PepsiCo, each adjusted for items affecting comparability, operating profit and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share – diluted, each adjusted for items affecting comparability, and the corresponding constant currency growth rates*

These measures exclude the net impact of mark-to-market gains and losses on centrally managed commodity derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, restructuring and impairment charges related to our 2019 Multi-Year Productivity Plan (2019 Productivity Plan), charges associated with our acquisitions and divestitures, impairment and other charges/credits, indirect and income tax impacts, product recall-related impact and the impact of settlement, curtailment and certain other gains and losses related to pension and retiree medical plans (see "Items Affecting Comparability" for a detailed description of each of these items). We also evaluate performance on operating profit and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share – diluted, each adjusted for items affecting comparability, on a constant currency basis, which measure our financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period. In order to compute our constant currency results, we multiply or divide, as appropriate, our current-year U.S. dollar results by the current-year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide, as appropriate, those amounts by the prior-year average foreign exchange rates. In addition, beginning in 2025, on a prospective basis, we are also applying the constant currency calculation for our subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. We believe these measures provide useful information in evaluating the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

results of our business because they exclude items that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior year.

*Free cash flow*

We define free cash flow as net cash from operating activities less capital spending, plus sales of property, plant and equipment. 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. Free cash flow is used by us primarily for acquisitions and financing activities, including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.

See "Free Cash Flow" in "Our Liquidity and Capital Resources" for further information.

*Return on invested capital (ROIC) and net ROIC, excluding items affecting comparability*

We define ROIC as net income attributable to PepsiCo plus interest expense after-tax divided by the sum of quarterly average debt obligations and quarterly average common shareholders' equity. Although ROIC is a common financial metric, numerous methods exist for calculating ROIC. Accordingly, the method used by management to calculate ROIC may differ from the methods other companies use to calculate their ROIC.

We believe this metric serves as a measure of how well we use our capital to generate returns. In addition, we use net ROIC, excluding items affecting comparability, to compare our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing performance and reflects how management evaluates our operating results and trends. We define net ROIC, excluding items affecting comparability, as ROIC, adjusted for quarterly average cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, after-tax interest income and items affecting comparability. We believe the calculation of ROIC and net ROIC, excluding items affecting comparability, provides useful information to investors and is an additional relevant comparison of our performance to consider when evaluating our capital allocation efficiency.

See "Return on Invested Capital" in "Our Liquidity and Capital Resources" for further information.

***Mark-to-Market Net Impact***

We centrally manage commodity derivatives on behalf of our segments. These commodity derivatives include agricultural products, energy and metals. Commodity derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are marked to market each period with the resulting gains and losses recorded in corporate unallocated expenses as either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the underlying commodity. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in segment results when the segments recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in operating profit. Therefore, the segments realize the economic effects of the derivative without experiencing any resulting mark-to-market volatility, which remains in corporate unallocated expenses.

***Restructuring and Impairment Charges***

*2019 Multi-Year Productivity Plan*

The 2019 Productivity Plan leverages new technology and business models to further simplify, harmonize and automate processes; re-engineers our go-to-market and information systems, including deploying the right automation for each market; and simplifies our organization and optimizes our manufacturing and supply chain footprint. To build on the successful implementation of the 2019 Productivity Plan, in 2024, we further expanded and extended the plan through the end of 2030 to take advantage of additional opportunities within the initiatives described above. As a result, we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $6.15 billion, including cash expenditures of approximately $5.1 billion. Plan to date through December 27, 2025, we have incurred pre-tax charges of $3.6 billion, including cash expenditures of $2.7 billion. In our 2026 financial results, we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $900

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

million, including cash expenditures of approximately $750 million. These charges will be funded primarily through cash from operations. We expect to incur the majority of the remaining pre-tax charges and cash expenditures through 2027, with the balance to be incurred through 2030. Charges include severance and other employee costs, asset impairments and other costs.

See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for further information related to our 2019 Productivity Plan. We regularly evaluate productivity initiatives beyond the productivity plan and other initiatives discussed above and in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.

***Acquisition and Divestiture-Related Charges***

Acquisition and divestiture-related charges include merger and integration charges, transaction expenses, such as consulting, advisory and other professional fees, as well as fair value adjustments to contingent consideration and acquired inventory included in the acquisition-date balance sheets. Merger and integration charges include distribution agreement termination fees, impairment of certain acquisition-related intangible assets, employee-related costs, closing costs and other integration costs.

See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

***Impairment and Other Charges/Credits***

We recognized impairment charges taken primarily as a result of our quantitative assessments of certain of our indefinite-lived intangible assets and related to our investment in TBG. In addition, we recorded allowance for expected credit losses related to outstanding receivables from TBG associated with the Juice Transaction.

See Notes 1, 4 and 9 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

***Indirect and Income Tax Impact***

We recognized additional expenses related to an indirect and income tax audit settlement in our LatAm Foods segment and an indirect tax reserve in our IB Franchise segment.

See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

***Product Recall-Related Impact***

We recognized property, plant and equipment write-offs, employee severance costs and other costs in our PFNA segment associated with a previously announced voluntary recall of certain bars and cereals.

See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

***Pension and Retiree Medical-Related Impact***

Pension and retiree medical-related impact includes settlement charges due to lump sum distributions to retired or terminated employees and the purchases of group annuity contracts whereby a third-party insurance company assumed the obligation to pay and administer future benefit payments for certain retirees. The settlement charges were triggered when the aggregate of the cumulative lump sum distributions and the annuity contract premium exceeded the total annual service and interest costs. Pension and retiree medical-related impact also includes curtailment losses due to restructuring actions as part of our 2019 Productivity Plan. We also recorded pre-tax income in our PBNA segment associated with pension-related liabilities from previous acquisitions.

See Notes 1 and 7 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

**Our Liquidity and Capital Resources** 

We believe that our cash generating capability and financial condition, together with our revolving credit facilities, working capital lines and other available methods of debt financing, such as commercial paper borrowings and long-term debt financing, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs, including with respect to our net capital spending plans. Our primary sources of liquidity include cash from operations, proceeds obtained from issuances of commercial paper and long-term debt, and cash and cash equivalents. These sources of cash are available to fund cash outflows that have both a short- and long-term component, including debt repayments and related interest payments; payments for acquisitions; operating leases; purchase, marketing, and other contractual commitments, including capital expenditures and the transition tax liability under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJ Act). In addition, these sources of cash fund other cash outflows including anticipated dividend payments and share repurchases. We do not have guarantees or off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, that we believe could have a material impact on our liquidity. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors," "Our Business Risks" and Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

As of December 27, 2025, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in our consolidated subsidiaries outside of Russia that are subject to currency controls or currency exchange restrictions were not material. As of December 27, 2025, Russia accounted for 20% of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents. Our sources and uses of cash were not materially adversely impacted by the cash and cash equivalents held in Russia and, to date, we have not identified any material impact on our liquidity or capital resources as a result of these amounts. See "Our Business Risks" for further information on our operations in Russia.

The TCJ Act imposed a one-time mandatory transition tax on undistributed international earnings. As of December 27, 2025, our mandatory transition tax liability was $965 million, which must be paid in 2026 and will represent our final payment under the provisions of the TCJ Act. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the TCJ Act.

Supply chain financing arrangements did not have a material impact on our liquidity or capital resources in the periods presented and we do not expect such arrangements to have a material impact on our liquidity or capital resources for the foreseeable future. See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of supply chain financing arrangements.

Furthermore, our cash provided from operating activities is somewhat impacted by seasonality. Working capital needs are impacted by weekly sales, which are generally highest in the third quarter due to seasonal and holiday-related patterns and generally lowest in the first quarter. On a continuing basis, we consider various transactions to increase shareholder value and enhance our business results, including acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, dividends, share repurchases, productivity and other efficiency initiatives and other structural changes. These transactions may result in future cash proceeds or payments.

The table below summarizes our cash activity:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | 2024 |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $**12087** | $12507 |
| Net cash used for investing activities | $**(6879)** | $(5472) |
| Net cash used for financing activities | $**(4979)** | $(7556) |

---

***Operating Activities***

In 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $12.1 billion, compared to $12.5 billion in the prior year. The decrease in operating cash flow primarily reflects increased cash payments for restructuring charges and cash payments for acquisition and divestiture-related charges.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

***Investing Activities***

In 2025, net cash used for investing activities was $6.9 billion, primarily reflecting net cash paid in connection with our acquisitions of poppi of $1.95 billion and Garza Food Ventures LLC (Siete) of $1.2 billion, as well as net capital spending of $3.9 billion.

In 2024, net cash used for investing activities was $5.5 billion, primarily reflecting net capital spending of $5.0 billion.

See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of capital spending by segment and see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our acquisitions.

We regularly review our plans with respect to net capital spending and believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our net capital spending needs.

***Financing Activities***

In 2025, net cash used for financing activities was $5.0 billion, primarily reflecting the return of operating cash flow to our shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases of $8.6 billion, as well as payments of long-term debt borrowings of $4.1 billion, partially offset by proceeds from the issuances of long-term debt of $8.2 billion.

In 2024, net cash used for financing activities was $7.6 billion, primarily reflecting the return of operating cash flow to our shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases of $8.2 billion, as well as payments of long-term debt borrowings of $3.9 billion, partially offset by proceeds from the issuances of long-term debt of $4.0 billion.

See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of debt obligations.

We annually review our capital structure with our Board, including our dividend policy and share repurchase activity. On February 3, 2026, we announced the 2026 Share Repurchase Program. See "Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities" for further information. In addition, on February 3, 2026, we announced a 4% increase in our annualized dividend to $5.92 per share from $5.69 per share, effective with the dividend expected to be paid in June 2026. We expect to return a total of approximately $8.9 billion to shareholders in 2026, comprising dividends of approximately $7.9 billion and share repurchases of approximately $1.0 billion.

***Free Cash Flow***

The table below reconciles net cash provided by operating activities, as reflected on our cash flow statement, to our free cash flow. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. For further information on free cash flow, see "Non-GAAP Measures."

---

| Free cash flow, non-GAAP measure | $**8200** | $7531 | **9%** |

---

We use free cash flow primarily for acquisitions and financing activities, including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases. We expect to continue to return free cash flow to our shareholders primarily through dividends and share repurchases while maintaining Tier 1 commercial paper access, which we believe will facilitate appropriate financial flexibility and ready access to global capital and credit markets at favorable interest rates. However, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and "Our Business Risks" for certain factors that may impact our credit ratings or our operating cash flows.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

Any downgrade of our credit ratings by a credit rating agency, especially any downgrade to below investment grade, whether or not as a result of our actions or factors which are beyond our control, could increase our future borrowing costs and impair our ability to access capital and credit markets on terms commercially acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, any downgrade of our current short-term credit ratings could impair our ability to access the commercial paper market with the same flexibility that we have experienced historically, and therefore require us to rely more heavily on more expensive types of debt financing. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors," "Our Business Risks" and Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

**OUR CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES**

An appreciation of our critical accounting policies and estimates is necessary to understand our financial results. These policies may require management to make difficult and subjective judgments regarding uncertainties, including the business and economic uncertainty resulting from volatile geopolitical conditions and the high interest rate and inflationary cost environment, and as a result, such estimates may significantly impact our financial results. The precision of these estimates and the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying variables and a range of possible outcomes. We applied our critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all material respects and for all periods presented. We have discussed our critical accounting policies and estimates with our Audit Committee.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• revenue recognition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• goodwill and other intangible assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• income tax expense and accruals; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pension and retiree medical plans.

**Revenue Recognition**

We recognize revenue when our performance obligation is satisfied. Our primary performance obligation (the distribution and sales of beverage and convenient food products) is satisfied upon the shipment or delivery of products to our customers, which is also when control is transferred. The transfer of control of products to our customers is typically based on written sales terms that generally do not allow for a right of return, except in the instance of a product recall or other limited circumstances that may allow for product returns. Our policy for DSD is to remove and replace damaged and out-of-date products from store shelves to ensure that consumers receive the product quality and freshness they expect. Similarly, our policy for certain warehouse-distributed products is to replace damaged and out-of-date products. As a result, we record reserves, based on estimates, for product recall, anticipated damaged and out-of-date products.

Our products are sold for cash or on credit terms. Our credit terms, which are established in accordance with local and industry practices, typically require payment within 30 days of delivery in the United States, and generally within 30 to 90 days internationally, and may allow discounts for early payment.

We estimate and reserve for our expected credit loss exposure based on our experience with past due accounts and collectibility, write-off history, the aging of accounts receivable, our analysis of customer data, and forward-looking information (including the expected impact of a high interest rate and inflationary cost environment), leveraging estimates of creditworthiness and projections of default and recovery rates for certain of our customers.

Our policy is to provide customers with product when needed. In fact, our commitment to freshness and product dating serves to regulate the quantity of product shipped or delivered. In addition, DSD products are placed on the shelf by our employees with customer shelf space and storerooms limiting the quantity of product. For product delivered through other distribution networks, we monitor customer inventory levels.

As discussed in "Our Customers" in "Item 1. Business," we offer sales incentives and discounts through various programs to customers and consumers. Total marketplace spending includes sales incentives, discounts, advertising and other marketing activities. Sales incentives and discounts are primarily accounted for as a reduction of revenue and include payments to customers for performing activities on our behalf, such as payments for in-store displays, payments to gain distribution of new products, payments for shelf space and discounts to promote lower retail prices. Sales incentives and discounts also

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

include support provided to our independent bottlers through funding of advertising and other marketing activities.

A number of our sales incentives, such as bottler funding to independent bottlers and customer volume rebates, are based on annual targets, and accruals are established during the year, as products are delivered, for the expected payout, which may occur after year-end once reconciled and settled. These accruals are based on contract terms and our historical experience with similar programs and require management judgment with respect to estimating customer and consumer 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 based on annual targets and recognized during the year as incurred.

See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further information on our revenue recognition and related policies, including total marketplace spending.

**Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets**

We sell products under a number of brand names, many of which were developed by us. Brand development costs are expensed as incurred. We also purchase brands and other intangible assets in acquisitions. In a business combination, the consideration is first assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities, including brands and other intangible assets, based on estimated fair values, with any excess recorded as goodwill. Determining fair value requires significant estimates and assumptions, including those related to volatile geopolitical conditions and a high interest rate and inflationary cost environment, based on an evaluation of a number of factors, such as marketplace participants, product life cycles, market share, consumer awareness, brand history and future expansion expectations, amount and timing of future cash flows and the discount rate applied to the cash flows.

We believe that a brand has an indefinite life if it has a history of strong revenue and cash flow performance and we have the intent and ability to support the brand with marketplace spending for the foreseeable future. If these indefinite-lived brand criteria are not met, brands are amortized over their expected useful lives, which generally range from 20 to 40 years. Determining the expected life of a brand requires management judgment and is based on an evaluation of a number of factors, including market share, consumer awareness, brand history, future expansion expectations and regulatory restrictions, as well as the macroeconomic environment of the countries in which the brand is sold.

In connection with previous acquisitions, we reacquired certain franchise rights which provided the exclusive and perpetual rights to manufacture and/or distribute beverages for sale in specified territories. In determining the useful life of these franchise rights, many factors were considered, including the pre-existing perpetual bottling arrangements, the indefinite period expected for these franchise rights to contribute to our future cash flows, as well as the lack of any factors that would limit the useful life of these franchise rights to us, including legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors. Therefore, certain of these franchise rights are considered as indefinite-lived. Franchise rights that are not considered indefinite-lived are amortized over the remaining contractual period of the contract in which the right was granted.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are not amortized and, as a result, are assessed for impairment at least annually, using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. We perform this annual assessment during our third quarter, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Where we use the qualitative assessment, first we determine if, based on qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. Factors considered include macroeconomic conditions (including those related to volatile geopolitical conditions and a high interest rate and inflationary cost environment), industry and competitive conditions, legal and regulatory environment, historical financial performance and significant changes in the brand or reporting unit. If the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, then a quantitative assessment is performed.

In the quantitative assessment for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, an assessment is performed to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and the reporting unit, respectively. Estimated fair value is determined using discounted cash flows and requires an analysis of several estimates including future cash flows or income consistent with management's strategic business plans, annual sales growth rates, perpetuity growth assumptions and the selection of assumptions underlying a discount rate (weighted-average cost of capital) based on market data available at the time. Significant management judgment is necessary to estimate the impact of competitive operating, macroeconomic and other factors (including those related to volatile geopolitical conditions and a high interest rate and inflationary cost environment) to estimate future levels of sales, operating profit or cash flows. All assumptions used in our impairment evaluations for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, such as forecasted growth rates (including perpetuity growth assumptions) and weighted-average cost of capital, are based on the best available market information and are consistent with our internal forecasts and operating plans. A deterioration in these assumptions could adversely impact our results. Additionally, indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired in recent acquisitions are more susceptible to impairment because they are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition. These assumptions could be adversely impacted by certain of the risks described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and "Our Business Risks."

As of December 27, 2025, the estimated fair value of the SodaStream reporting unit narrowly exceeded its carrying value. Given the low coverage, there could be further impairment to the carrying value of the SodaStream reporting unit goodwill if future sales and operating profit results are not in line with the forecasted future cash flows of the business and/or if macroeconomic conditions worsen and drive an increase in the weighted-average cost of capital used to estimate its fair value. We continue to monitor the performance of the SodaStream reporting unit, as well as all of our indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Amortizable intangible assets are only evaluated for impairment upon a significant change in the operating or macroeconomic environment. If an evaluation of the undiscounted future cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is based on its discounted future cash flows.

See Notes 2, 4 and 13 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

**Income Tax Expense and Accruals**

Our annual tax rate is based on our income, statutory tax rates and tax structure and transactions, including transfer pricing arrangements, available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant judgment is required in determining our annual tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions. We establish reserves when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable, we believe that certain positions are subject to challenge and that we likely will not succeed. We adjust these reserves, as well as the related interest, in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of a tax audit, new tax laws, relevant court cases or tax authority settlements. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for further discussion.

An estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to our quarterly operating results. In the event there is a significant or unusual item recognized in our quarterly operating results, the tax attributable to that item is separately calculated and recorded at the same time as that item. We consider the tax adjustments from the resolution of prior-year tax matters to be among such items.

Tax law requires items to be included in our tax returns at different times than the items are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. As a result, our annual tax rate reflected in our consolidated

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

financial statements is different than that reported in our tax returns (our cash tax rate). Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible in our tax return, and some differences reverse over time, such as depreciation expense. These temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in our tax returns in future years for which we have already recorded the tax benefit on our consolidated financial statements. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is not more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized in our consolidated financial statements for which payment has been deferred, or expense for which we have already taken a deduction in our tax return but have not yet recognized as expense in our consolidated financial statements.

In 2025, our annual tax rate was 19.0% compared to 19.4% in 2024. See "Other Consolidated Results" for further information.

See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

**Pension and Retiree Medical Plans**

Our pension plans cover certain employees in the United States and certain international employees. Benefits are determined based on either years of service or a combination of years of service and earnings. Certain U.S. and Canada retirees are also eligible for medical and life insurance benefits (retiree medical) if they meet age and service requirements. Generally, our share of retiree medical costs is capped at specified dollar amounts, which vary based upon years of service, with retirees contributing the remainder of the cost. In addition, we have been phasing out certain subsidies of retiree medical benefits.

See "Items Affecting Comparability" and Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for information about changes and settlements within our pension plans.

***Our Assumptions***

The determination of pension and retiree medical expenses and obligations requires the use of assumptions to estimate the amount of benefits that employees earn while working, as well as the present value of those benefits. Annual pension and retiree medical expense amounts are principally based on four components: (1) the value of benefits earned by employees for working during the year (service cost), (2) the increase in the projected benefit obligation due to the passage of time (interest cost), and (3) other gains and losses as discussed in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements, reduced by (4) the expected return on assets for our funded plans.

Significant assumptions used to measure our annual pension and retiree medical expenses include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain employee-related demographic factors, such as turnover, retirement age and mortality;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the expected rate of return on assets in our funded plans; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the spot rates along the yield curve used to determine service and interest costs and the present value of liabilities.

Certain assumptions reflect our historical experience and management's best judgment regarding future expectations. All actuarial assumptions are reviewed annually, except in the case of an interim remeasurement due to a significant event such as a curtailment or settlement. Due to the significant management judgment involved, these assumptions could have a material impact on the measurement of our pension and retiree medical expenses and obligations.

At each measurement date, the discount rates are based on interest rates for high-quality, long-term corporate debt securities with maturities comparable to those of our liabilities. Our U.S. obligation and pension and retiree medical expense is based on the discount rates determined using the Mercer Above

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

Mean Curve. This curve includes bonds that closely match the timing and amount of our expected benefit payments and reflects the portfolio of investments we would consider to settle our liabilities.

See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for information about the expected rate of return on plan assets and our plans' investment strategy. Although we review our expected long-term rates of return on an annual basis, our asset returns in a given year do not significantly influence our evaluation of long-term rates of return.

Weighted-average assumptions for pension and retiree medical expense are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2026** | 2025 | 2024 |
| ***Pension*** |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Service cost discount rate | **6.1%** | 6.0% | 5.4% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest cost discount rate | **5.0%** | 5.4% | 5.1% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected rate of return on plan assets | **7.3%** | 7.1% | 7.0% |
| ***Retiree medical*** |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Service cost discount rate | **5.2%** | 5.6% | 5.1% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest cost discount rate | **4.6%** | 5.2% | 5.0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected rate of return on plan assets | **7.5%** | 7.1% | 7.1% |

---

In 2025, the aggregate of lump sum distributions and the purchase of a group annuity contract exceeded the total of annual service and interest cost and triggered pre-tax settlement charges for certain U.S. defined pension plans. In addition, we expect the impact of the freeze of benefit accruals to U.S. salaried participants effective December 31, 2025, changes in discount rates and higher expected rate of return on plan assets to decrease our pension and retiree medical expense in 2026.

***Sensitivity of Assumptions***

A decrease in each of the collective discount rates or in the expected rate of return assumptions would increase expense for our benefit plans. A 100-basis-point decrease in each of the above discount rates and expected rate of return assumptions would individually increase 2026 pre-tax pension and retiree medical expense as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Assumption** | **Amount** |
| Discount rates used in the calculation of expense | $64 |
| Expected rate of return | $142 |

---

***Funding***

We make contributions to pension trusts that provide plan benefits for certain pension plans. These contributions are made in accordance with applicable tax regulations that provide for current tax deductions for our contributions and taxation to the employee only upon receipt of plan benefits. Generally, we do not fund our pension plans when our contributions would not be currently tax deductible. As our retiree medical plans are not subject to regulatory funding requirements, we generally fund these plans on a pay-as-you-go basis, although we periodically review available options to make additional contributions toward these benefits.

We made discretionary contributions of $200 million to a U.S. qualified defined benefit plan and $52 million to our international pension benefit plans in January 2026.

Our pension and retiree medical plan contributions are subject to change as a result of many factors, such as changes in interest rates, deviations between actual and expected asset returns and changes in tax or other benefit laws. We regularly evaluate different opportunities to reduce risk and volatility associated with our pension and retiree medical plans. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for our past and expected contributions and estimated future benefit payments.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

**Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Our Segments**

***Basis of Presentation***

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the consolidated accounts of PepsiCo, Inc. and the affiliates that we control. In addition, we include our share of the results of certain other affiliates using the equity method based on our economic ownership interest, our ability to exercise significant influence over the operating or financial decisions of these affiliates or our ability to direct their economic resources. We do not control these other affiliates, as our ownership in these other affiliates is generally 50% or less. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. As a result of exchange restrictions and other operating restrictions, during the periods presented, we did not have control over our Venezuelan subsidiaries. As such, our Venezuelan subsidiaries are not included within our consolidated financial results for any period presented.

Raw materials, direct labor and plant overhead, as well as purchasing and receiving costs, costs directly related to production planning, inspection costs and raw materials handling facilities, are included in cost of sales. The costs of moving, storing and delivering finished product, including merchandising activities, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are used in determining, among other items, sales incentives accruals, tax reserves, share-based compensation, pension and retiree medical accruals, amounts and useful lives for intangible assets and future cash flows associated with impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience, as well as other factors we believe appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. Additionally, the business and economic uncertainty resulting from volatile geopolitical conditions and changes in the interest rate and inflationary cost environment have made such estimates and assumptions more difficult to calculate. As future events and their effect cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of each December, resulting in a 53<sup>rd</sup> reporting week every five or six years. While our North America financial results are reported on a weekly calendar basis, our international operations are reported on a monthly calendar basis. The following chart details our quarterly reporting schedule:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Quarter** | **United States and Canada** | **International** |
| First Quarter | 12 weeks | January and February |
| Second Quarter | 12 weeks | March, April and May |
| Third Quarter | 12 weeks | June, July and August |
| Fourth Quarter | 16 weeks | September, October, November and December |

---

Unless otherwise noted, tabular dollars are in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common per share amounts, assume dilution unless otherwise noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year's consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

***Our Segments***

We are organized into six reportable segments, as follows:

1)PepsiCo Foods North America (PFNA), which includes all of our convenient food businesses in the United States and Canada;

2)PepsiCo Beverages North America (PBNA), which includes all of our beverage businesses in the United States and Canada;

3)International Beverages Franchise (IB Franchise), which includes our international franchise beverage businesses, as well as our SodaStream business;

4)Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), which includes our convenient food businesses and our beverage businesses with company-owned bottlers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa;

5)Latin America Foods (LatAm Foods), which includes all of our convenient food businesses in Latin America; and

6)Asia Pacific Foods, which consists of our convenient food businesses in Asia Pacific, including China, Australia and New Zealand, as well as India.

Through our operations, authorized bottlers, contract manufacturers and other third parties, we make, market, distribute and sell a wide variety of beverages and convenient foods, serving customers and consumers in more than 200 countries and territories with our largest operations in the United States, Mexico, Russia, Canada, China, the United Kingdom, Brazil and South Africa.

The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, except for the following allocation methodologies:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• share-based compensation expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pension and retiree medical expense; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• derivatives.

*Share-Based Compensation Expense*

Our segments are held accountable for share-based compensation expense and, therefore, this expense is allocated to our segments as an incremental employee compensation cost. The expense allocated to our segments excludes any impact of changes in our assumptions during the year which reflect market conditions over which segment management has no control. Therefore, any variances between allocated expense and our actual expense are recognized in corporate unallocated expenses.

*Pension and Retiree Medical Expense*

Pension and retiree medical service costs measured at fixed discount rates are reflected in segment results. The variance between the fixed discount rate used to determine the service cost reflected in segment results and the discount rate as disclosed in Note 7 is reflected in corporate unallocated expenses.

*Derivatives*

We centrally manage commodity derivatives on behalf of our segments. These commodity derivatives include agricultural products, energy and metals. Commodity derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are marked to market each period with the resulting gains and losses recorded in corporate unallocated expenses as either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the underlying commodity. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in segment results when the segments recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in operating profit. Therefore, the segments realize the economic effects of the derivative without experiencing any resulting mark-to-market volatility, which remains in corporate unallocated expenses. These derivatives hedge underlying commodity price risk and were not entered into for trading or speculative purposes.

***Net Revenue, Significant Expenses and Operating Profit by Segment***

Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM uses segment operating profit as the profit measure to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources across segments. Corporate unallocated expenses, other pension and retiree medical benefits (expense)/income and net interest expense and other are centrally managed costs and are therefore excluded from this profit measure to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Our CODM considers variances of actual performance to our annual operating plan and periodic forecasts when making decisions.

Significant expenses are expenses which are regularly provided to the CODM and are included in segment operating profit. These consist of segment cost of sales, segment selling, general and administrative expenses, and various items affecting comparability. Segment cost of sales includes raw materials, direct labor and plant overhead, as well as purchasing and receiving costs, costs directly related to production planning, inspection costs and raw materials handling facilities, excluding the impact of items affecting comparability. Segment selling, general and administrative expenses include the costs to execute sales to customers, distribution costs, including the costs of shipping and handling activities, which include certain merchandising activities, costs related to brand and product marketing to consumers, other ongoing operating costs that are not directly related to manufacturing, distribution, selling, advertising or marketing activities as well as other income or expense items, excluding the impact of items affecting comparability. Items affecting comparability include restructuring and impairment charges, acquisition and divestiture-related charges, impairment and other charges/credits, indirect tax impact, product recall-related impact and pension and retiree medical-related impact.

Asset and other balance sheet information for segments is not provided to the CODM.

Net revenue, significant expenses and operating profit of each segment are as follows:

**Note 2 — Our Significant Accounting Policies**

***Revenue Recognition***

We recognize revenue when our performance obligation is satisfied. Our primary performance obligation (the distribution and sales of beverage and convenient food products) is satisfied upon the shipment or delivery of products to our customers, which is also when control is transferred. Merchandising activities are performed after a customer obtains control of the product, are accounted for as fulfillment of our performance obligation to ship or deliver product to our customers and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Merchandising activities are immaterial in the context of our contracts. In addition, we exclude from net revenue all sales, use, value-added and certain excise taxes assessed by government authorities on revenue producing transactions.

The transfer of control of products to our customers is typically based on written sales terms that generally do not allow for a right of return, except in the instance of a product recall or other limited circumstances that may allow for product returns. Our policy for DSD is to remove and replace damaged and out-of-date products from store shelves to ensure that consumers receive the product quality and freshness they expect. Similarly, our policy for certain warehouse-distributed products is to replace damaged and out-of-date products. As a result, we record reserves, based on estimates, for product recall, anticipated damaged and out-of-date products.

Our products are sold for cash or on credit terms. Our credit terms, which are established in accordance with local and industry practices, typically require payment within 30 days of delivery in the United States, and generally within 30 to 90 days internationally, and may allow discounts for early payment.

We estimate and reserve for our expected credit loss exposure based on our experience with past due accounts and collectibility, write-off history, the aging of accounts receivable, our analysis of customer data, and forward-looking information (including the expected impact of a high interest rate and inflationary cost environment), leveraging estimates of creditworthiness and projections of default and recovery rates for certain of our customers.

We are exposed to concentration of credit risk from our major customers, including Walmart. We have not experienced credit issues with these customers. In 2025, sales to Walmart and its affiliates (including Sam's) represented approximately 14% of our consolidated net revenue, including concentrate sales to our independent bottlers, which were used in finished goods sold by them to Walmart.

***Total Marketplace Spending***

We offer sales incentives and discounts through various programs to customers and consumers. Total marketplace spending includes sales incentives, discounts, advertising and other marketing activities. Sales incentives and discounts are primarily accounted for as a reduction of revenue and include payments to customers for performing activities on our behalf, such as payments for in-store displays, payments to gain distribution of new products, payments for shelf space and discounts to promote lower retail prices. Sales incentives and discounts also include support provided to our independent bottlers through funding of advertising and other marketing activities.

A number of our sales incentives, such as bottler funding to independent bottlers and customer volume rebates, are based on annual targets, and accruals are established during the year, as products are delivered, for the expected payout, which may occur after year-end once reconciled and settled. These accruals are based on contract terms and our historical experience with similar programs and require management judgment with respect to estimating customer and consumer 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 based on annual targets and recognized during the year as incurred.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

The terms of most of our incentive arrangements do not exceed one year and, therefore, do not require highly uncertain long-term estimates. Certain arrangements, such as fountain pouring rights, may extend beyond one year. Upfront payments to customers under these arrangements are recognized over the shorter of the economic or contractual life, primarily as a reduction of revenue, and the remaining balances of $329 million as of December 27, 2025 and $237 million as of December 28, 2024 are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets on our balance sheet.

For interim reporting, our policy is to allocate our forecasted full-year sales incentives for most of our programs to each of our interim reporting periods in the same year that benefits from the programs. The allocation methodology is based on our forecasted sales incentives for the full year and the proportion of each interim period's actual gross revenue or volume, as applicable, to our forecasted annual gross revenue or volume, as applicable. Based on our review of the forecasts at each interim period, any changes in estimates and the related allocation of sales incentives are recognized beginning in the interim period that they are identified. In addition, we apply a similar allocation methodology for interim reporting purposes for certain advertising and other marketing activities. Our annual consolidated financial statements are not impacted by this interim allocation methodology.

Advertising and other marketing activities, reported as selling, general and administrative expenses, totaled $5.4 billion in 2025, $5.9 billion in 2024 and $5.7 billion in 2023, including advertising expenses of $3.4 billion in 2025, $3.9 billion in 2024 and $3.8 billion in 2023. Deferred advertising costs are not expensed until the year first used and consist of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• media and personal service prepayments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• promotional materials in inventory; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• production costs of future media advertising.

Deferred advertising costs of $48 million and $58 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, are classified as prepaid expenses and other current assets on our balance sheet.

***Distribution Costs***

Distribution costs, including the costs of shipping and handling activities, which include certain merchandising activities, are reported as selling, general and administrative expenses. Shipping and handling expenses were $16.7 billion in 2025, $16.0 billion in 2024 and $15.4 billion in 2023.

***Software Costs***

We capitalize certain computer software and software development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and it is probable that the software will be used as intended. Capitalized software costs include (1) external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining computer software, (2) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the software projects and (3) interest costs incurred while developing internal-use computer software. Capitalized software costs are included in property, plant and equipment on our balance sheet and amortized on a straight-line basis when placed into service over the estimated useful lives of the software, which approximate five to 10 years. Software amortization totaled $260 million in 2025, $199 million in 2024 and $159 million in 2023. Net capitalized software and development costs were $1.8 billion and $1.5 billion as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.

***Commitments and Contingencies***

We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, certain taxes and environmental matters, as well as commitments under contractual and other commercial obligations. We recognize liabilities for contingencies and commitments when a loss is probable and estimable.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

***Research and Development***

We engage in a variety of research and development activities and continue to invest to accelerate growth and to drive innovation globally. Consumer research is excluded from research and development costs and included in other marketing costs. Research and development costs were $839 million, $813 million and $804 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are reported within selling, general and administrative expenses.

***Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets***

Indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are not amortized and, as a result, are assessed for impairment at least annually, using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. We perform this annual assessment during our third quarter, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Where we use the qualitative assessment, first we determine if, based on qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. Factors considered include macroeconomic conditions (including those related to volatile geopolitical conditions and a high interest rate and inflationary cost environment), industry and competitive conditions, legal and regulatory environment, historical financial performance and significant changes in the brand or reporting unit. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, then a quantitative assessment is performed.

In the quantitative assessment for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, an assessment is performed to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and the reporting unit, respectively. Estimated fair value is determined using discounted cash flows and requires an analysis of several estimates including future cash flows or income consistent with management's strategic business plans, annual sales growth rates, perpetuity growth assumptions and the selection of assumptions underlying a discount rate (weighted-average cost of capital) based on market data available at the time. Significant management judgment is necessary to estimate the impact of competitive operating, macroeconomic and other factors (including those related to volatile geopolitical conditions and a high interest rate and inflationary cost environment) to estimate future levels of sales, operating profit or cash flows. All assumptions used in our impairment evaluations for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, such as forecasted growth rates (including perpetuity growth assumptions) and weighted-average cost of capital, are based on the best available market information and are consistent with our internal forecasts and operating plans. A deterioration in these assumptions could adversely impact our results.

Amortizable intangible assets are only evaluated for impairment upon a significant change in the operating or macroeconomic environment. If an evaluation of the undiscounted future cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is based on its discounted future cash flows.

See Note 4 for further information.

***Other Significant Accounting Policies***

Our other significant accounting policies are disclosed as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Basis of Presentation* – Note 1 includes a description of our policies regarding use of estimates, basis of presentation and consolidation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Income Taxes* – Note 5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Share-Based Compensation –* Note 6.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Pension, Retiree Medical and Savings Plans* – Note 7.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Financial Instruments* – Note 9.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Leases* – Note 12.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Acquisitions and Divestitures* – Note 13.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Supply Chain Financing Arrangements* – Note 14.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Cash Equivalents* – Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Inventories* – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the average; first-in, first-out (FIFO); or, in limited instances, last-in, first-out (LIFO) methods. For inventories valued under the LIFO method, the differences between the LIFO and FIFO methods of valuing inventories are not material.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Property, Plant and Equipment* – Note 15. Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over an asset's estimated useful life. Construction in progress is not depreciated until ready for service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Translation of Financial Statements of Foreign Subsidiaries* – Generally, financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for revenues and expenses. Adjustments resulting from translating net assets are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within common shareholders' equity as currency translation adjustment. For foreign subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the reporting currency of the immediate parent becomes the functional currency. Non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at period-end exchange rates, with the impact of any changes in exchange rates included in net income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are carried forward at historical exchange rates starting from when hyperinflationary accounting is implemented.

***Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements***

***Adopted***

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to enhance transparency of income tax disclosures. On an annual basis, the new guidance requires a public entity to disclose: (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) additional information for reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) by the applicable statutory income tax rate, (3) income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes, with foreign taxes disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid, (4) income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (5) income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated between federal (national), state and foreign. We adopted the guidance in our 2025 annual reporting, on a prospective basis. See Note 5 for further information.

***Not Yet Adopted***

In September 2025, the FASB issued guidance to improve the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The new guidance eliminates project stages and requires capitalizing software costs to begin when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. When evaluating if a project is probable to be completed, significant development uncertainty must be assessed. Additionally, disclosures for property, plant and equipment will be required for all capitalized software costs. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2028 with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. Upon adoption, the guidance may be applied prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified transition approach. We are evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued guidance to provide for a practical expedient that an entity may assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the remaining life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue transactions from contracts with customers. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2026 with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis. We will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to improve the disclosure of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The new guidance requires a public entity to provide tabular disclosure, on an annual and interim basis, of amounts for the following expense categories: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation and (4) intangible asset amortization, as included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement that contains any of the expense categories noted. Additionally, on an annual and interim basis, a qualitative description is required for amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The guidance also requires certain amounts that are currently required to be disclosed to be included in the same tabular disclosure as these disaggregation requirements. Furthermore, on an annual and interim basis, a public entity is required to separately disclose selling expenses and annually, disclose a description of the selling expenses. The guidance is effective for 2027 annual reporting, and in the first quarter of 2028 for interim reporting, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. We will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective, in our 2027 annual reporting and each quarter thereafter, on a prospective basis.

**Note 3 — Restructuring and Impairment Charges**

***2019 Multi-Year Productivity Plan***

The 2019 Productivity Plan leverages new technology and business models to further simplify, harmonize and automate processes; re-engineers our go-to-market and information systems, including deploying the right automation for each market; and simplifies our organization and optimizes our manufacturing and supply chain footprint. To build on the successful implementation of the 2019 Productivity Plan, in 2024, we further expanded and extended the plan through the end of 2030 to take advantage of additional opportunities within the initiatives described above. As a result, we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $6.15 billion, including cash expenditures of approximately $5.1 billion. These pre-tax charges are expected to consist of approximately 50% of severance and other employee-related costs, 15% for asset impairments (all non-cash) resulting from plant closures and related actions and 35% for other costs associated with the implementation of our initiatives.

The total plan pre-tax charges are expected to be incurred by segment approximately as follows:

---

| | | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **PFNA** | **PBNA** | **IB Franchise** | **EMEA** | **LatAm Foods** | **Asia Pacific Foods** | **Corporate** |

Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over an intangible asset's estimated useful life. Amortization of intangible assets for each of the next five years, based on existing intangible assets as of December 27, 2025 and using average 2025 foreign exchange rates, is expected to be as follows:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
| Five-year projected amortization | $78 | $74 | $73 | $72 | $63 |

---

Depreciable and amortizable assets are evaluated for impairment upon a significant change in the operating or macroeconomic environment. In these circumstances, if an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is based on discounted future cash flows. Useful lives are periodically evaluated to determine whether events or circumstances have occurred which indicate the need for revision.

***Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets***

In 2025, business performance in conjunction with lower expectations of future business performance compared to projections, as well as the transaction discussed below, indicated a deterioration of the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets in certain markets and required us to perform quantitative assessments on certain assets. The fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets was estimated using discounted cash flows under the income approach, which we consider to be a Level 3 (significant unobservable inputs) measurement. We determined that the carrying value exceeded the fair value, which reflected our most current estimates of future sales and their contributions to operating profit and expected future cash flows (including perpetuity growth assumptions), as well as an increase in the weighted-average cost of capital. As a result of the quantitative assessments, we recorded pre-tax impairment charges of $1.9 billion ($1.5 billion after-tax or $1.11 per share) in impairment of intangible assets primarily comprised of the Rockstar brand in our PBNA, EMEA, and IB Franchise segments.

On August 28, 2025, we consummated a transaction with Celsius, pursuant to which we acquired convertible preferred shares and transferred cash and certain non-cash assets, primarily the Rockstar brand of $0.5 billion in the United States and Canada (Celsius Transaction). For further information on the convertible preferred shares, see Note 9. On the same date, we entered into an agreement with Celsius to be the exclusive distributor for the Alani Nu brand in certain channels in the United States and Canada that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2025.

As discussed in Note 2, we perform our annual impairment assessment on indefinite-lived intangible assets during our third quarter. The annual impairment assessment on indefinite-lived intangible assets performed in the third quarter of 2025, based on best available market information and our internal forecasts and operating plans at the time, did not result in any further material impairment charges.

As of December 27, 2025, the estimated fair value of the SodaStream reporting unit narrowly exceeded its carrying value. Given the low coverage, there could be further impairment to the carrying value of the SodaStream reporting unit goodwill if future sales and operating profit results are not in line with the forecasted future cash flows of the business and/or if macroeconomic conditions worsen and drive an increase in the weighted-average cost of capital used to estimate its fair value. We continue to monitor the performance of the SodaStream reporting unit, as well as all of our indefinite-lived intangible assets.

We did not recognize any impairment charges for goodwill in the years ended December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024.

In 2023, macroeconomic conditions, including higher interest rates, inflationary costs, and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, and recent business performance indicated a deterioration of the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets in various markets,

primarily assumptions underlying the weighted-average cost of capital and the impact of economic uncertainty on current and future financial performance, and required us to perform a quantitative assessment on certain assets. The fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets was estimated using discounted cash flows under the income approach, which we consider to be a Level 3 measurement. We determined that the carrying value exceeded the fair value for certain of our intangible assets, which reflects the increase in the weighted-average cost of capital as well as our most current estimates of future sales and their contributions to operating profit and expected future cash flows (including perpetuity growth assumptions). As a result of the quantitative assessment, we recorded pre-tax impairment charges of $0.6 billion ($0.5 billion after-tax or $0.35 per share) for brands and $0.3 billion ($0.3 billion after-tax or $0.22 per share) for goodwill, both in impairment of intangible assets, primarily related to the SodaStream brand and reporting unit in our IB Franchise segment, in the year ended December 30, 2023. See Note 1 for further information.

For further information on our policies for indefinite-lived intangible assets, see Note 2.

The components of indefinite-lived intangible assets are as follows:

---

| Total indefinite-lived intangible assets | $**32763** | $31233 |

---

(a)Increase is primarily related to acquired distribution rights for the Alani Nu brand.

(b)Decrease is primarily related to impairments of the Rockstar and Be & Cheery brands as well as the sale of the Rockstar brand in connection with the transaction described above, partially offset by acquisitions of poppi and Siete. See Note 13 for further information on acquisitions.

***Tax Cuts and Jobs Act***

As of December 27, 2025, our mandatory transition tax liability was $965 million, which must be paid in 2026 and will represent our final payment under the provisions of the TCJ Act. We reduced our liability through cash payments by $772 million in 2025, $579 million in 2024 and $309 million in 2023.

The TCJ Act also created a requirement that certain income earned by foreign subsidiaries, known as GILTI, must be included in the gross income of their U.S. shareholder. The FASB allows an accounting policy election of either recognizing deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or recognizing such taxes as a current-period expense when incurred. We elected to treat the tax effect of GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred.

***Other Tax Matters***

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) Act, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, was signed into law in the United States. The OBBB Act did not have a material impact on our annual effective tax rate in 2025 and we do not expect it to have a material impact in 2026.

Numerous countries, including European Union member states, have enacted or are expected to enact legislation incorporating the OECD model rules for a global minimum tax rate of 15% with widespread implementation expected by the end of 2026. Legislation enacted as of December 27, 2025 did not have a material impact on our financial statements for 2025. As the legislation becomes effective in countries in which we do business, our taxes will increase and negatively impact our provision for income taxes.

In 2024 and 2023, tax benefits of $54 million ($0.04 per share) and $68 million ($0.05 per share), respectively, were recorded related to the impairment of certain consolidated investments.

***Reserves***

A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which we have established a reserve, is audited and finally resolved. The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. Our major taxing jurisdictions and the related open tax audits are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Jurisdiction** | **Years Open to Audit** | **Years Currently Under Audit** |
| United States | 2014-2024 | 2014-2019 |
| Mexico | 2014-2024 | 2014-2020 |
| Canada (Domestic) | 2021-2024 | 2021 |

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

Our annual tax rate is based on our income, statutory tax rates and tax planning strategies and transactions, including transfer pricing arrangements, available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant judgment is required in determining our annual tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions. We establish reserves when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable, we believe that certain positions are subject to challenge and that we likely will not succeed. We adjust these reserves, as well as the related interest, in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of a tax audit, new tax laws, relevant court cases or tax authority settlements. Settlement of any particular issue would usually require the use of cash. Favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to our annual tax rate in the year of resolution.

As of December 27, 2025, the total gross amount of reserves for income taxes, reported in other liabilities, was $2.4 billion. We accrue interest related to reserves for income taxes in our provision for income taxes and any associated penalties are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The gross amount of interest accrued, reported in other liabilities, was $450 million as of December 27, 2025, of which $2 million of tax benefit was recognized in 2025, reflecting the release of federal interest accruals. The gross amount of interest accrued, reported in other liabilities, was $469 million as of December 28, 2024, of which $103 million of tax expense was recognized in 2024.

A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

***Carryforwards and Allowances***

Operating loss carryforwards and income tax credits totaling $35.5 billion as of December 27, 2025 are being carried forward in a number of foreign and state jurisdictions where we are permitted to use tax operating losses and income tax credits from prior periods to reduce future taxable income or income tax liabilities. These operating losses and income tax credits will expire as follows: $0.8 billion in 2026, $29.9 billion between 2027 and 2044 and $4.8 billion may be carried forward indefinitely. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is not more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

***Undistributed International Earnings*** 

As of December 27, 2025, we had approximately $12 billion of undistributed international earnings. We intend to continue to reinvest $12 billion of earnings outside the United States for the foreseeable future and while future distribution of these earnings would not be subject to U.S. federal tax expense, no deferred tax liabilities with respect to items such as certain foreign exchange gains or losses, foreign withholding taxes or state taxes have been recognized. It is not practicable for us to determine the amount of unrecognized tax expense on these reinvested international earnings.

**Note 6 — Share-Based Compensation**

Our share-based compensation program is designed to attract and retain employees while also aligning employees' interests with the interests of our shareholders. PepsiCo has granted stock options, RSUs,

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

PSUs and long-term cash awards to employees under the shareholder-approved PepsiCo, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). Executives who are awarded long-term incentives based on their performance may generally elect to receive their grant in the form of stock options or RSUs, or a combination thereof. Executives who elect stock options receive four stock options for every one RSU that would have otherwise been granted. Certain executive officers and other senior executives do not have a choice and are granted 66% PSUs and 34% long-term cash, each of which are subject to pre-established performance targets.

The Company may use authorized and unissued shares to meet share requirements resulting from the exercise of stock options and the vesting of RSUs and PSUs.

As of December 27, 2025, 89 million shares were available for future share-based compensation grants under the LTIP.

The following table summarizes our total share-based compensation expense, which is primarily recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, and excess tax benefits recognized:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | 2024 | 2023 |
| Share-based compensation expense - equity awards | $**288** | $362 | $380 |
| Share-based compensation expense - liability awards | **13** | 7 | 19 |
| Restructuring charges | **(8)** | (5) | (1) |
| Total | $**293** | $364 | $398 |
| Income tax benefits recognized in earnings related to share-based compensation | $**53** | $68 | $73 |
| Excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation | $**3** | $33 | $36 |

---

As of December 27, 2025, there was $329 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation grants. This unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of two years.

***Method of Accounting and Our Assumptions***

The fair value of share-based award grants is amortized to expense over the vesting period, primarily three years. Awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the award becoming fully vested are amortized to expense over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn the award. In addition, we use historical data to estimate forfeiture rates and record share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

We do not backdate, reprice or grant share-based compensation awards retroactively. Repricing of awards would require shareholder approval under the LTIP.

***Stock Options***

A stock option permits the holder to purchase shares of PepsiCo common stock at a specified price. We account for our employee stock options 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.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

Our weighted-average Black-Scholes fair value assumptions are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | 2024 | 2023 |
| Expected life | **7 years** | 7 years | 7 years |
| Risk-free interest rate | **4.1%** | 4.2% | 4.2% |
| Expected volatility | **16%** | 16% | 16% |
| Expected dividend yield | **3.5%** | 2.9% | 2.7% |

---

The expected life is the period over which our employee groups are expected to hold their options. It is based on our historical experience with similar grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the expected U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life. Volatility reflects movements in our stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life. Dividend yield is estimated over the expected life based on our stated dividend policy and forecasts of net income, share repurchases and stock price.

***Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units***

Each RSU represents our obligation to deliver to the holder one share of PepsiCo common stock when the award vests at the end of the service period. PSUs are awards pursuant to which a number of shares are delivered to the holder upon vesting at the end of the service period based on PepsiCo's performance against specified financial performance metrics. The number of shares may be increased to the maximum or reduced to the minimum threshold based on the results of these performance metrics in accordance with the terms established at the time of the award. During the vesting period, RSUs and PSUs accrue dividend equivalents that pay out in cash (without interest) if and when the applicable RSU or PSU vests and becomes payable.

The fair value of RSUs and PSUs is measured at the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant.

***Long-Term Cash***

Certain executive officers and other senior executives were granted long-term cash awards for which final payout is based on PepsiCo's total shareholder return relative to a specific set of peer companies and achievement of a specified performance target over a three-year performance period.

Long-term cash awards that qualify as liability awards under share-based compensation guidance are valued through the end of the performance period on a mark-to-market basis using the Monte Carlo simulation model.

As of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, there were approximately 341,000 and 311,000 outstanding awards, respectively, consisting primarily of phantom stock units that were granted under the PepsiCo Director Deferral Program and will be settled in shares of PepsiCo common stock pursuant to the LTIP at the end of the applicable deferral period, not included in the tables above.

**Note 7 — Pension, Retiree Medical and Savings Plans**

In 2025 and 2024, we recognized pre-tax settlement charges of $237 million ($183 million after-tax or $0.13 per share) and $213 million ($165 million after-tax or $0.12 per share), respectively, in a U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan due to lump sum distributions to retired or terminated employees and the purchases of group annuity contracts whereby a third-party insurance company assumed the obligation to pay and administer future benefit payments for certain retirees. The settlement charges were triggered when the aggregate of the cumulative lump sum distributions and the annuity contract premiums exceeded the total annual service and interest cost.

As of December 31, 2025, benefit accruals for salaried participants in the U.S. qualified defined benefit plans were frozen.

Gains and losses resulting from actual experience differing from our assumptions, including the difference between the actual and expected return on plan assets, as well as changes in our assumptions, are determined at each measurement date. These differences are recognized as a component of net gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss within common shareholders' equity. If this net accumulated gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the market-related value of plan assets or plan obligations, a portion of the net gain or loss is included in other pension and retiree medical benefits (expense)/income for the following year based upon the average remaining service life for participants in PepsiCo Employees Retirement Hourly Plan (Plan H) (approximately 10 years) and retiree medical (approximately 12 years), and the remaining life expectancy for participants in PepsiCo Employees Retirement Plan I (Plan I) (approximately 26 years).

The cost or benefit of plan changes that increase or decrease benefits for prior employee service (prior service cost/(credit)) is included in other pension and retiree medical benefits (expense)/income on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service life for participants in Plan H, and the remaining life expectancy for participants in Plan I, except that prior service cost/(credit) for salaried participants subject to the benefit accruals freeze effective December 31, 2025 was amortized on a straight-line basis over the period up to the effective date of the freeze.

The amount we report in operating profit as pension and retiree medical cost is service cost, which is the value of benefits earned by employees for working during the year.

The amounts we report below operating profit as pension and retiree medical cost consist of the following components:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Interest cost is the accrued interest on the projected benefit obligation due to the passage of time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Expected return on plan assets is the long-term return we expect to earn on plan investments for our funded plans that will be used to settle future benefit obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Amortization of prior service cost/(credit) represents the recognition in the income statement of benefit changes resulting from plan amendments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Amortization of net loss/(gain) represents the recognition in the income statement of changes in the amount of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation based on changes in assumptions and actual experience.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Settlement/curtailment loss/(gain) represents the result of actions that effectively eliminate all or a portion of related projected benefit obligations. Settlements are triggered when payouts to settle the projected benefit obligation of a plan due to lump sums or other events exceed the total of annual service and interest cost. Settlements are recognized when actions are irrevocable and we are relieved of the primary responsibility and risk for projected benefit obligations. Lump sum payouts are generally higher when interest rates are lower. Curtailments are recognized when events such as plant closures, the sale of a business, or plan changes result in a significant reduction of future service or benefits. Curtailment losses are recognized when an event is probable and estimable, while curtailment gains are recognized when an event has occurred (when the related employees terminate or an amendment is adopted).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Special termination benefits are the additional benefits offered to employees upon departure due to actions such as restructuring.

The components of total pension and retiree medical benefit costs are as follows:

---

Of the total projected pension benefit obligation as of December 27, 2025, approximately $632 million relates to plans that we do not fund because the funding of such plans does not receive favorable tax treatment.

***Future Benefit Payments&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***

Our estimated future benefit payments are as follows:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 - 2035 |
| Pension | $1259 | $963 | $951 | $977 | $999 | $5242 |
| Retiree medical <sup>(a)</sup> | $76 | $74 | $72 | $70 | $68 | $305 |

---

(a)Expected future benefit payments for our retiree medical plans do not reflect any estimated subsidies expected to be received under the 2003 Medicare Act. Subsidies are expected to be less than $1 million for each of the years from 2026 through 2030 and approximately $2 million in total for 2031 through 2035.

These future benefit payments to beneficiaries include payments from both funded and unfunded plans.

***Funding***

Contributions to our pension and retiree medical plans were as follows:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Pension** | **Pension** | **Pension** | **Retiree Medical** | **Retiree Medical** | **Retiree Medical** |
| | **2025** | 2024 | 2023 | **2025** | 2024 | 2023 |
| Discretionary <sup>(a)</sup> | $**261** | $161 | $267 | $**—** | $— | $— |
| Non-discretionary | **160** | 134 | 97 | **51** | 53 | 46 |
| Total | $**421** | $295 | $364 | $**51** | $53 | $46 |

---

(a)Includes $250 million contribution in 2025, $150 million contribution in 2024 and $250 million contribution in 2023 to fund our U.S. qualified defined benefit plans.

We made discretionary contributions of $200 million to a U.S. qualified defined benefit plan and $52 million to our international pension benefit plans in January 2026. In addition, in 2026, we expect to make non-discretionary contributions of approximately $80 million to our U.S. and international pension benefit plans and contributions of approximately $55 million for retiree medical benefits.

We also regularly evaluate opportunities to reduce risk and volatility associated with our pension and retiree medical plans.

***Plan Assets***

Our pension plan investment strategy includes the use of actively managed accounts and is reviewed periodically in conjunction with plan obligations, an evaluation of market conditions, tolerance for risk and cash requirements for benefit payments. This strategy is also applicable to funds held for the retiree medical plans. Our investment objective includes ensuring that funds are available to meet the plans' benefit obligations when they become due. Assets contributed to our pension plans are no longer controlled by us, but become the property of our individual pension plans. However, we are indirectly impacted by changes in these plan assets as compared to changes in our projected obligations. Our overall investment policy is to prudently invest plan assets in a well-diversified portfolio of equity and high-quality debt securities and real estate to achieve our long-term return expectations. Our investment policy also permits the use of derivative instruments, such as futures and forward contracts, to reduce interest rate and foreign currency risks. Futures contracts represent commitments to purchase or sell securities at a future date and at a specified price. Forward contracts consist of currency forwards. We also participate in securities lending programs to generate additional income by loaning plan assets to borrowers on a fully collateralized basis, including both cash and non-cash collaterals.

For 2026 and 2025, our expected long-term rate of return on U.S. plan assets is 7.8% and 7.5%, respectively. Our target investment allocations for U.S. plan assets are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2026** | 2025 |
| Fixed income | **58%** | 56% |
| U.S. equity | **22%** | 22% |
| International equity | **16%** | 18% |
| Real estate | **4%** | 4% |

---

Actual investment allocations may vary from our target investment allocations due to prevailing market conditions. We regularly review our actual investment allocations and periodically rebalance our investments.

The expected return on plan assets is based on our investment strategy and our expectations for long-term rates of return by asset class, taking into account volatility and correlation among asset classes and our historical experience. We also review current levels of interest rates and inflation to assess the reasonableness of the long-term rates. We evaluate our expected return assumptions annually to ensure

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

that they are reasonable. To calculate the expected return on plan assets, our market-related value of assets for fixed income is the actual fair value. For all other asset categories, such as equity securities, we use a method that recognizes investment gains or losses (the difference between the expected and actual return based on the market-related value of assets) over a five-year period. This has the effect of reducing year-to-year volatility.

Plan assets measured at fair value as of year-end 2025 and 2024 are categorized consistently by Level 1 (quoted prices in active markets for identical assets), Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) and Level 3 in both years and are as follows:

---

(a)Includes $155 million and $163 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively, of retiree medical plan assets that are restricted for purposes of providing health benefits for U.S. retirees and their beneficiaries.

(b)Includes securities loaned to borrowers under the securities lending program with fair value of $649 million and $630 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(c)Invested in U.S. and international common stock and commingled funds, and the preferred stock portfolio was invested in domestic and international corporate preferred stock investments. The common and preferred stock investments are based on quoted prices in active markets. The commingled funds are based on the published price of the fund and include one large-cap fund that represents 12% of total U.S. plan assets for both 2025 and 2024.

(d)These investments are based on quoted bid prices for comparable securities in the marketplace and broker/dealer quotes in active markets. Corporate bonds of U.S.-based companies represents 31% of total U.S. plan assets for both 2025 and 2024.

(e)Based on the fair value of the contracts as determined by the insurance companies using inputs that are not observable. During 2025, our international plans liquidated Level 3 investments, resulting in no Level 3 assets as of year-end. The changes in U.S. Level 3 amounts were not significant in the years ended December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024.

(f)Includes Level 1 assets of $446 million and $456 million, and Level 2 assets of $254 million and $276 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(g)Includes $430 million and $447 million of cash collateral for 2025 and 2024, respectively, under the securities lending program offset by corresponding securities lending payable of the same amount. The net impact on the fair value of U.S. plan assets is zero.

(h)Includes investments in private credit funds, limited partnerships and mortgage funds. These funds are based on the net asset value of the investments owned by these funds as determined by independent third parties using inputs that are not observable. The majority of the funds are redeemable quarterly subject to availability of cash and have notice periods ranging from 30 to 90 days.

***Retiree Medical Cost Trend Rates***

The assumed health care cost trend rates are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2026** | 2025 |
| Average increase assumed | **8%** | 5% |
| Ultimate projected increase | **4%** | 4% |
| Year of ultimate projected increase  | **2046** | 2046 |

---

Annually, we review external data and our historical experience to estimate assumed health care cost trend rates that impact our retiree medical plan obligation and expense, however the cap on our share of retiree medical costs limits the impact.

***Savings Plan***

Certain U.S. employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) savings plan, which is a voluntary defined contribution plan. The plan is designed to help employees accumulate savings for retirement and we make Company matching contributions for certain employees on a portion of employee contributions based on years of service.

Certain U.S. employees, who are either not eligible to participate in a defined benefit pension plan or whose benefit is capped, are also eligible to receive an employer contribution based on either years of service or age and years of service regardless of employee contribution.

In 2025, 2024 and 2023, our total Company contributions were $434 million, $411 million and $356 million, respectively.

As of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, our international debt of $272 million and $325 million, respectively, was related to borrowings from external parties, including various lines of credit. These lines of credit are subject to normal banking terms and conditions and are fully committed at least to the extent of our borrowings.

In 2025, we issued the following senior notes:

(a)Excludes debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums.

(b)These notes, issued in euros, were designated as net investment hedges to partially offset the effects of foreign currency on our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries.

The net proceeds from the issuances of the above notes were used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of commercial paper.

In 2025, we entered into a new five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement (2025 Five-Year Credit Agreement), which expires on May 23, 2030. The 2025 Five-Year Credit Agreement enables us and our borrowing subsidiaries to borrow up to $5.0 billion in U.S. dollars and/or euros, including a $0.75 billion swing line subfacility for euro-denominated borrowings permitted to be borrowed on a same-day basis, subject to customary terms and conditions. We may request that commitments under this agreement be increased up to $5.75 billion (or the equivalent amount in euros). Additionally, we may, up to two times during the term of the 2025 Five-Year Credit Agreement, request renewal of the agreement for an additional one-year period. The 2025 Five-Year Credit Agreement replaced our $5.0 billion five-year credit agreement, dated as of May 24, 2024.

Also in 2025, we entered into a new 364-day unsecured revolving credit agreement (2025 364-Day Credit Agreement), which expires on May 22, 2026. The 2025 364-Day Credit Agreement enables us and our borrowing subsidiaries to borrow up to $5.0 billion in U.S. dollars and/or euros, subject to customary terms and conditions. We may request that commitments under this agreement be increased up to $5.75 billion (or the equivalent amount in euros). We may request renewal of this facility for an additional 364-day period or convert any amounts outstanding into a term loan for a period of up to one year, which term loan would mature no later than the anniversary of the then effective termination date. The 2025 364-Day Credit Agreement replaced our $5.0 billion 364-day credit agreement, dated as of May 24, 2024.

Funds borrowed under the 2025 Five-Year Credit Agreement and the 2025 364-Day Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes. Subject to certain conditions, we may borrow, prepay and reborrow amounts under these agreements. As of December 27, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the 2025 Five-Year Credit Agreement or the 2025 364-Day Credit Agreement.

In 2023, we discharged via legal defeasance $94 million outstanding principal amount of certain notes originally issued by our subsidiary, The Quaker Oats Company, following the deposit of $102 million of U.S. government securities with the Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, in the fourth quarter of 2022.

**Note 9 — Financial Instruments**

***Derivatives and Hedging***

We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• commodity prices, affecting the cost of our raw materials and energy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreign exchange rates and currency restrictions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• interest rates.

In the normal course of business, we manage commodity price, foreign exchange and interest rate risks through a variety of strategies, including productivity initiatives, global purchasing programs and hedging. Ongoing productivity initiatives involve the identification and effective implementation of meaningful cost-saving opportunities or efficiencies, including the use of derivatives. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Our global purchasing programs include fixed-price contracts and purchase orders and pricing agreements.

Our hedging strategies include the use of derivatives and non-derivative debt instruments. Certain derivatives are designated as either cash flow, fair value or net investment hedges and qualify for hedge accounting treatment, while others do not qualify and are marked to market through earnings. The accounting for qualifying hedges allows changes in a hedging instrument's fair value to offset corresponding changes in the hedged item in the same reporting period that the hedged item impacts earnings. Gains or losses on derivatives designated as cash flow and net investment hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss within common shareholders' equity and reclassified to our income statement when the hedged transaction affects earnings for cash flow hedges and when the hedged foreign operation is either sold or substantially liquidated for net investment hedges. If it becomes probable that the hedged transaction will not occur, we immediately recognize the related hedging gains or losses in earnings; such gains or losses reclassified during the year ended December 27, 2025 were not material.

Cash flows from derivatives used to manage commodity price, foreign exchange or interest rate risks are classified as operating activities in the cash flow statement. We classify both the earnings and cash flow impact from these derivatives consistent with the underlying hedged item. Cash flows associated with the settlement of derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges of foreign operations are classified within investing activities.

*Credit Risk*

We perform assessments of our counterparty credit risk regularly, including reviewing netting agreements, if any, and a review of credit ratings, credit default swap rates and potential nonperformance of the counterparty. Based on our most recent assessment of our counterparty credit risk, we consider this risk to be low. In addition, we enter into derivative contracts with a variety of financial institutions that we believe are creditworthy in order to reduce our concentration of credit risk.

Certain of our agreements with our counterparties require us to post full collateral on derivative instruments in a net liability position if our credit rating is at A2 (Moody's Investors Service, Inc.) or A (S&P Global Ratings) and we have been placed on credit watch for possible downgrade or if our credit rating falls below either of these levels. The fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position as of December 27, 2025 was $96 million. We have posted no collateral under these contracts and no credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered as of December 27, 2025.

*Commodity Prices*

We are subject to commodity price risk because our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing may be limited in the competitive environment in which we operate. This risk is managed through

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

the use of fixed-price contracts and purchase orders, pricing agreements and derivative instruments, which primarily include swaps and futures. In addition, risk to our supply of certain raw materials is mitigated through purchases from multiple geographies and suppliers. We use derivatives, with terms of no more than two years, to hedge price fluctuations related to a portion of our anticipated commodity purchases, primarily for agricultural products, energy and metals. Derivatives used to hedge commodity price risk that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are marked to market each period with the resulting gains and losses recorded in corporate unallocated expenses as either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the underlying commodity. These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in segment results when the segments recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in operating profit.

*Interest Rates*

We centrally manage our debt and investment portfolios considering investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences and overall financing strategies. We use various interest rate derivative instruments including, but not limited to, interest rate swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps, Treasury locks and swap locks to manage our overall interest expense. These instruments effectively change the interest rate of specific debt issuances. Certain of our fixed rate indebtedness have been swapped to floating rates. The notional amount, interest payment and maturity date of our interest rate swap contracts match the principal, interest payment and maturity date of the related debt, and they have terms of no more than six years. Our Treasury locks and swap locks are entered into to protect against unfavorable interest rate changes relating to forecasted debt transactions.

As of December 27, 2025, approximately 11% of total debt was subject to variable rates, after the impact of the related interest rate swap contracts, compared to approximately 13% as of December 28, 2024.

*Foreign Exchange*

We are exposed to foreign exchange risks in the international markets in which our products are made, manufactured, distributed or sold. Additionally, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk from foreign currency purchases and foreign currency assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business. We manage this risk through sourcing purchases from local suppliers, negotiating contracts in local currencies with foreign suppliers and through the use of derivatives including, but not limited to, forward contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap contracts. Exchange rate gains or losses related to foreign currency transactions are recognized as transaction gains or losses on our income statement as incurred. The forward contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap contracts have terms of no more than two years and twelve years, respectively. The notional amount, interest payment and maturity date of our cross-currency interest rate swap contracts match the principal, interest payment and maturity date of the related foreign currency debt. For foreign currency derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, gains and losses were offset by changes in the underlying hedged items, resulting in no material net impact on earnings.

*Net Investment Hedges*

We are exposed to foreign exchange risk from net investments in our foreign operations. We manage this risk for certain of our foreign operations by utilizing derivative and non-derivative instruments, including cross-currency interest rate swaps, forward contracts and foreign currency denominated debt designated as net investment hedges. The cross-currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts have terms of no more than ten years and one year, respectively.

We use the spot method to assess hedge effectiveness for our net investment hedges. Excluded components in the form of interest accruals on cross-currency interest rate swaps are recorded in net

interest expense and other. Excluded components in the form of forward points on forward contracts are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The notional amounts of our financial instruments used to hedge the above risks as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 are as follows:

---

|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Notional Amounts**<sup>(a)</sup> | **Notional Amounts**<sup>(a)</sup> |

(a)In billions.

(b)Subsequent to December 27, 2025, we designated $1.6 billion of foreign exchange contracts maturing in February 2026 and $4.5 billion of existing euro denominated debt as net investment hedges to partially offset the effects of foreign currency on our investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries.

***Debt Securities***

*Available-for-Sale*

Investments in available-for-sale debt securities are reported at fair value. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities are generally recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss within common shareholders' equity. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities impact earnings only when such securities are sold, or an allowance for expected credit losses or impairment is recognized. We regularly evaluate our investment portfolio for expected credit losses and impairment. In making this judgment, we evaluate, among other things, the extent to which the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost; the financial condition of the issuer, including the credit quality, and any changes thereto; and our intent to sell, or whether we will more likely than not be required to sell, the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Our assessment of whether a debt security has a credit loss or is impaired could change in the future due to new developments or changes in assumptions related to any particular debt security.

In 2022, we entered into an agreement with Celsius to distribute Celsius energy drinks in the United States and invested $550 million in Series A convertible preferred shares (Series A shares) issued by Celsius, which included certain conversion and redemption features. Shares underlying the transaction were priced at $75 per share ($25 per share after a three-for-one stock split in 2023), and are entitled to a 5% annual dividend, payable either in cash or in-kind. On August 28, 2025, as part of the Celsius Transaction described in Note 4, we acquired Series B convertible preferred shares (Series B shares) issued by Celsius, valued at $585 million upon acquisition, excluding acquisition-related charges. Shares underlying the transaction were priced at $51.75 per share and are entitled to a 5% annual dividend, payable either in cash or in-kind. In addition, as part of this transaction, the conversion and redemption periods of the Series A shares were extended to match the terms of the newly issued Series B shares, which was accounted for as a modification. Both series of shares include certain conversion and redemption features and convert into Celsius common shares after six years from issuance of the Series B shares if certain market-based conditions are met, or can be redeemed for cash after seven years from issuance of the Series B shares. Given our redemption rights associated with both series of shares, we classified our investments as Level 3 investments in available-for-sale debt securities.

There were no impairment charges related to our investments in available-for-sale debt securities in the years ended December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023. There were net unrealized pre-tax gains of $860 million and $334 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, associated with our available-for-sale debt securities.

***TBG Investment***

We hold a 39% noncontrolling interest in TBG, operating across North America and Europe, and we account for our investment under the equity method.

In 2023, we recorded our proportionate share of TBG's earnings, which included an impairment of TBG's indefinite-lived intangible assets, and recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of our investment, both of which resulted in pre-tax impairment charges of $321 million ($243 million after-tax or $0.18 per share), recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in our PBNA segment. We estimated the fair value of our ownership in TBG using discounted cash flows and an option pricing model related to our liquidation preference in TBG, which we categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In 2024, after identifying several indicators of impairment such as worsening operating losses and liquidity position, we quantitatively assessed our investment in TBG for impairment and, consequently, recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of our remaining investment, resulting in pre-tax impairment charges of $498 million ($416 million after-tax or $0.30 per share), with $409 million in our PBNA segment and $89 million in our EMEA segment, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. We estimated the fair value of our ownership in TBG using discounted cash flows. We also recorded an allowance for expected credit losses in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2024, primarily related to outstanding receivables associated with the Juice Transaction; see Note 1 for further information.

(a)Fair value hierarchy levels are defined in Note 7. Unless otherwise noted, financial assets are classified on our balance sheet within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets. Financial liabilities are classified on our balance sheet within accounts payable and other current liabilities and other liabilities.

(b)Classified as other assets. The fair value of our investment in Celsius is estimated using probability-weighted discounted future cash flows based on a Monte Carlo simulation using significant unobservable inputs such as an 80% probability that a certain market-based condition will be met and an average estimated discount rate of 8.5% and 7.3% as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively. The fair value of the other investment is estimated using a lattice model primarily based on the underlying stock price, volatility and certain significant unobservable inputs, such as a discount rate of 8.3% based on an estimated synthetic credit rating. An increase in the probability that certain market-based conditions will be met or a decrease in the discount rate would result in a higher fair value measurement, while a decrease in the probability that certain market-based conditions will be met or an increase in the discount rate would result in a lower fair value measurement.

(c)Based on the price of index funds. These investments are classified as short-term investments and are used to manage a portion of market risk arising from our deferred compensation liability.

(d)Based on the fair value of investments corresponding to employees' investment elections.

(e)In connection with our acquisition of poppi, we recorded a liability at fair value for the contingent consideration payable upon achievement of certain performance milestones by the third quarter of 2027, with a maximum payment of $300 million. If these performance milestones are not met, no payment will be made. The fair value of the liability is estimated using discounted future cash flows based on a Monte Carlo simulation using significant unobservable inputs such as forecasts of net revenue and margin. An increase in the net revenue and margin forecasts would result in a higher fair value measurement, while a decrease in the net revenue and margin forecasts would result in a lower fair value measurement. As of December 27, 2025, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $278 million, comprised of the acquisition date fair value of $180 million and a fair value increase of $98 million recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

(f)Based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate forward rates. As of December 27, 2025, the carrying amount of hedged fixed-rate debt was $2.0 billion, which was classified on the balance sheet within long-term debt obligations.

(g)Based on recently reported market transactions of spot and/or forward rates.

(h)Primarily based on recently reported market transactions of swap arrangements.

(i)Derivative assets and liabilities are presented on a gross basis on our balance sheet. Amounts subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements which are not offset on our balance sheet as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were not material. Collateral received or posted against our asset or liability positions was not material. Exchange-traded commodity futures are cash-settled on a daily basis and, therefore, not included in the table.

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments recorded at amortized cost approximate fair value (classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy) due to their short-term maturity. The fair value of our debt obligations as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 was $46 billion and $40 billion, respectively, based upon prices of identical or similar instruments in the marketplace, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

**Note 12 — Leases**

***Lessee***

We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. We have operating leases for plants, warehouses, distribution centers, storage facilities, offices and other facilities, as well as machinery and equipment, including fleet. Our leases generally have remaining lease terms of up to 20 years, some of which include options to extend the lease term for up to five years and some of which include options to terminate the lease within one year. We consider these options in determining the lease term used to establish our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

We have lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components. For real estate leases, we account for lease components together with non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance).

**Note 13 — Acquisitions and Divestitures**

***Acquisition of poppi***

On May 19, 2025, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interest in poppi, a prebiotic soda business, for cash consideration of $1.95 billion and contingent consideration with an acquisition date fair value of $0.2 billion. See Note 9 for further information on the contingent consideration. In connection with this acquisition, other payments may be incurred, subject to the achievement of certain conditions.

We accounted for the transaction as a business combination in the second quarter of 2025. We recognized and measured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition, in our PBNA segment. The preliminary estimates of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this transaction as of the acquisition date primarily include goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $2.0 billion. These preliminary estimates include management's assumptions and are subject to revision as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, primarily related to intangible assets, which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values discussed above as valuations are finalized. We expect to finalize these amounts as soon as possible, but no later than the second quarter of 2026.

***Acquisition of Siete***

On January 17, 2025, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interest in Siete, a Mexican-American foods business, for total consideration of $1.2 billion in cash.

We accounted for the transaction as a business combination in the first quarter of 2025. We recognized and measured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition, in our PFNA segment. The preliminary estimates of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this transaction as of the acquisition date primarily include goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $1.2 billion. These preliminary estimates include management's assumptions and are subject to revision as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, primarily related to intangible assets, which may result in adjustments to the preliminary values discussed above as valuations are finalized. We will finalize these amounts in the first quarter of 2026.

***Acquisition of remaining ownership in Sabra***

On December 3, 2024, we acquired the Strauss Group's 50% ownership in Sabra for total consideration of $241 million in cash, resulting in Sabra becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary. Upon consolidation, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $122 million ($92 million after-tax or $0.07 per share) in our PFNA segment, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, related to the remeasurement of our previously held 50% equity ownership in Sabra at fair value using a combination of the transaction price, net of a control premium, and discounted cash flows.

We accounted for the acquisition as a business combination. We recognized and measured the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition in our PFNA segment, which primarily included goodwill and other intangible assets of $0.3 billion and property, plant and equipment of $0.1 billion. The purchase price allocation was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2025.

**Note 14 — Supply Chain Financing Arrangements**

As part of our evolving market practices, we work with our suppliers to optimize our terms and conditions, which include the extension of payment terms. Our current payment terms with a majority of our suppliers generally range from 60 to 90 days, which we deem to be commercially reasonable. We will continue to monitor economic conditions and market practice working with our suppliers to adjust as necessary. We also maintain voluntary supply chain finance agreements with several participating global financial institutions. Under these agreements, our suppliers, at their sole discretion, may elect to sell their accounts receivable with PepsiCo to these participating global financial institutions. Supplier participation in these financing arrangements is voluntary. Our suppliers negotiate their financing agreements directly with the respective global financial institutions and we are not a party to these agreements. These financing arrangements allow participating suppliers to leverage PepsiCo's creditworthiness in establishing credit spreads and associated costs, which generally provides our suppliers with more favorable terms than they would be able to secure on their own. Neither PepsiCo nor any of its subsidiaries provide any guarantees to any third party in connection with these financing arrangements. We have no economic interest in our suppliers' decision to participate in these agreements. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in such financing arrangements are recorded within accounts payable and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

PepsiCo, Inc.:

*Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows, and Equity for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended December 27, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended December 27, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2025 based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

*Basis for Opinions*

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

*Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

*Critical Audit Matter*

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Unrecognized tax benefits*

As discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's global operating model gives rise to income tax obligations in the United States and in certain foreign jurisdictions in which it operates. As of December 27, 2025, the Company recorded reserves for unrecognized tax benefits of $2.4 billion. The Company establishes reserves if it believes that certain positions taken in its tax returns are subject to challenge and the Company likely will not succeed, even though the Company believes the tax return position is supportable under the tax law. The Company adjusts these reserves, as well as the related interest, in light of new information, such as the progress of a tax examination, new tax law, relevant court rulings or tax authority settlements.

We identified the evaluation of certain of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits as a critical audit matter because the application of tax law and interpretation of a tax authority's settlement history is complex and involves subjective judgment. Such judgments impact both the timing and amount of the reserves that are recognized, including judgments about re-measuring liabilities for positions taken in prior years' tax returns in light of new information.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the unrecognized tax benefits process, including controls to (1) identify uncertain income tax positions, (2) evaluate the tax law and tax authority's settlement history used to estimate the unrecognized tax benefits, and (3) monitor for new information that may give rise to changes to the existing unrecognized tax benefits, such as progress of a tax examination, new tax law or tax authority

settlements. We involved tax and valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in assessing the unrecognized tax benefits by (1) evaluating the Company's tax structure and transactions, including transfer pricing arrangements, and (2) assessing the Company's interpretation of existing tax law as well as new and amended tax laws, tax positions taken, associated external counsel opinions, information from tax examinations, relevant court rulings and tax authority settlements.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.**

***(a) Disclosure 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

***(b) Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.*** Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework* (2013) by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 27, 2025.

***Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm*.** KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and, as part of their audit, has issued their report, included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

***(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.*** During our fourth quarter of 2025, we continued migrating certain of our financial processing systems to an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution. These systems implementations are part of our ongoing global business transformation initiative, and we plan to continue implementing such systems throughout other parts of our businesses in phases over the next several years. In connection with these ERP implementations, we are updating and will continue to update our internal control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to our business processes and accounting procedures. During 2025, we continued implementing these systems, resulting in changes that materially affected our internal control over financial reporting. These system implementations did not have an adverse effect, nor do we expect will have an adverse effect, on our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, in connection with our 2019 multi-year productivity plan, we continue to migrate to shared business models across our operations to further simplify, harmonize and automate processes. In connection with our 2019 multi-year

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i8428063a818d4fe39600b7379bccefdb_7)</u>

productivity plan and resulting organization and business process changes, we continue to enhance the design and documentation of our internal control over financial reporting processes, to maintain effective controls over our financial reporting. These changes have not materially affected, and we do not expect them to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Except with respect to the continued implementation of ERP systems, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fourth quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We will continue to assess the impact on our internal control over financial reporting as we continue to implement our ERP solution and our 2019 multi-year productivity plan.

**DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK**

The following description of our common stock is based upon our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, effective as of May 1, 2019 ("Articles of Incorporation"), our By-Laws, as amended and restated, effective as of September 20, 2024 ("By-Laws") and applicable provisions of law. We have summarized certain portions of the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws below. The summary is not complete. The Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Annual Report on Form 10-K to which this exhibit is a part. You should read the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws for the provisions that are important to you.

**General**

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue 3,600,000,000 shares of common stock, par value one and two-thirds cents (1-2/3 cents) per share. As of January 23, 2026, there were 1,366,649,053 shares of common stock outstanding which were held of record by 87,254 shareholders.

*Voting Rights.* Each holder of a share of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on the applicable record date on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders. Action on a matter generally requires that the votes cast in favor of the action exceed the votes cast in opposition. A plurality vote is required in an election of the Board of Directors where the number of director nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected.

------

*Dividend Rights.* Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared from time to time by PepsiCo's Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor.

*Rights Upon Liquidation.* Holders of our common stock are entitled to share pro rata, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of PepsiCo, in all remaining assets available for distribution to shareholders after payment or providing for PepsiCo's liabilities.

*Preemptive Rights.* Holders of our common stock do not have the right to subscribe for, purchase or receive new or additional common stock or other securities.

**Transfer Agent and Registrar**

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.

**Stock Exchange Listing**

The Nasdaq Global Select Market is the principal market for our common stock, where it is listed under the symbol "PEP," and our common stock is also listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.

------

**Certain Provisions of PepsiCo's Articles of Incorporation and By**-**Laws; Director Indemnification Agreements**

*Advance Notice of Proposals and Nominations.* Our By-Laws provide that shareholders must provide timely written notice to bring business before an annual meeting of shareholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of shareholders. Notice for an annual meeting is generally timely if it is received at our principal office not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting. However, if the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed more than 60 days from this anniversary date, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, such notice by the shareholder must be delivered not earlier than the 120th day prior to the annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting was first made. Shareholders utilizing "proxy access" must meet separate deadlines. The By-Laws also specify the form and content of a shareholder's notice, including with respect to a shareholder's notice under Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act.

*Proxy Access.* Our By-Laws contain "proxy access" provisions which give an eligible shareholder (or a group of up to 20 shareholders aggregating their shares) that has owned 3% or more of the outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years the right to nominate the greater of two nominees and 20% of the number of directors to be elected at the applicable annual general meeting, and to have those nominees included in our proxy materials, subject to the other terms and conditions of our By-Laws.

------

*Special Meetings.* A special meeting of the shareholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board, by resolution of the Board or by our corporate secretary upon written request of one or more shareholders holding shares of record representing at least 20% in the aggregate of our outstanding common stock entitled to vote at such meeting. Any such special meeting called at the request of our shareholders will be held at such date, time and place (if any) as may be fixed by our Board, provided that the date of such special meeting may not be more than 90 days from the receipt of such request by the corporate secretary. The By-Laws specify the form and content of a shareholder's request for a special meeting.

*Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees.* Our By-Laws provide that unless the Board determines otherwise, we shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, any person who was or is, or who is threatened to be made, a party to an action, suit or proceeding (including appeals), whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or arbitrative, by reason of the fact that such person, such person's testator or intestate, is or was one of our directors, officers or employees, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer or employee of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Pursuant to our By-Laws this indemnification may, at the Board's discretion, also include advancement of expenses prior to the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding.

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our independent directors, pursuant to which we have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless, to the

------

full extent permitted by law, each director against any and all liabilities and assessments (including attorneys' fees and other costs, expenses and obligations) arising out of or related to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or other, including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (whether with or without court approval), and any interest, assessments, excise taxes or other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any of the foregoing, incurred by the independent director and arising out of his status as a director or member of a committee of our Board, or by reason of anything done or not done by the director in such capacities. After receipt of an appropriate request by an independent director, we will also advance all expenses, costs and other obligations (including attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to such matters. We will not be liable for payment of any liability or expense incurred by an independent director on account of acts which, at the time taken, were known or believed by such director to be clearly in conflict with our best interests.

**Certain Anti**-**Takeover Effects of North Carolina Law**

The North Carolina Shareholder Protection Act generally requires the affirmative vote of 95% of a public corporation's voting shares to approve a "business combination" with any entity that a majority of continuing directors determines beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 20% of the voting shares of the corporation (or ever owned, directly or indirectly, more than 20% and is still an "affiliate" of the corporation) unless the fair price provisions and the procedural provisions of the North Carolina Shareholder Protection Act are satisfied.

------

"Business combination" is defined by the North Carolina Shareholder Protection Act as (i) any merger, consolidation or conversion of a corporation with or into any other entity, or (ii) any sale or lease of all or any substantial part of the corporation's assets to any other entity, or (iii) any payment, sale or lease to the corporation or any subsidiary thereof in exchange for securities of the corporation of any assets having an aggregate fair market value equal to or greater than $5,000,000 of any other entity.

The North Carolina Shareholder Protection Act contains provisions that allowed a corporation to "opt out" of the applicability of the North Carolina Shareholder Protection Act's voting provisions within specified time periods that generally have expired. The Act applies to PepsiCo since we did not opt out within these time periods.

This statute could discourage a third party from making a partial tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain a substantial position in our equity securities or seeking to obtain control of us. It also might limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for our shares of common stock and may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us.

**DESCRIPTION OF NOTES**

We have previously filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-177307), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 13, 2011 and covers the issuance of the 2026 notes, a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-197640), which was filed with the SEC on July 25, 2014 and covers the issuance of the July

------

2028 notes, a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-216082), which was filed with the SEC on February 15, 2017 and covers the issuance of the 2027 notes, 2031 notes and 2039 notes, a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-234767), which was filed with the SEC on November 18, 2019 and covers the issuance of the sterling notes, May 2028 notes, 2032 notes, 2033 notes and 2050 notes, and a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-277003), which was filed with the SEC on February 12, 2024 and covers the issuance of the 2024 indenture notes.

The 2007 indenture notes were issued under an indenture dated as of May 21, 2007 between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the "2007 indenture"). The 2024 indenture notes were issued under an indenture dated as of February 12, 2024 between us and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "2024 indenture" and, together with the 2007 indenture, the "indentures"). Below we have summarized certain terms and provisions of the indentures. The summary is not complete. Each indenture has been incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K to which this exhibit is a part. You should read each indenture for the provisions which may be important to you. Each indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

**General**

*Principal Amounts; Interest Payments and Record Dates; Listing*. The 2026 notes were initially limited to an aggregate principal amount of €500,000,000. The 2026 notes bear interest, payable annually on each April 28, to the persons in whose names such notes are registered at the

On or before the redemption date, we will deposit with the trustee or its agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and (unless the redemption date shall be an interest payment date) accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date on the notes to be redeemed on such date. If less than all of the notes of a series are to be redeemed, the notes of such series to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with applicable depositary procedures. Additionally, we may at any time repurchase notes in the open market and may hold or surrender such notes to the trustee for cancellation.

Notice of redemption will be transmitted at least 30 days (or 15 days with respect to the 2039 notes, or 10 days with respect to the May 2028 notes, 2029 notes, 2032 notes, 2033 notes, 2034 notes, 2037 notes, 2050 notes and 2055 notes) but not more than 60 days before the applicable redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed. We will be responsible for calculating the redemption price of the notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

**Payment of Additional Amounts**

We will, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay as additional interest on the notes such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment by us of the principal of and interest on the notes to a holder who is not a United States person (as

defined below), after withholding or deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States or a taxing authority in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided in the notes to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay additional amounts shall not apply:

*Limitation of Liens*

We will not, and will not permit any of our restricted subsidiaries to, incur, suffer to exist or guarantee any debt secured by a lien on any principal property or on any shares of stock of (or other interests in) any of our restricted subsidiaries unless we or that first-mentioned restricted subsidiary secures or causes such restricted subsidiary to secure the notes (and any of its or such restricted subsidiary's other debt, at its option or such restricted subsidiary's option, as the case may be, not subordinate to the notes), equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured debt, for as long as such secured debt will be so secured.

These restrictions will not, however, apply to debt secured by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any liens existing prior to the issuance of such notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any lien on property of or shares of stock of (or other interests in) or debt of any entity existing at the time such entity becomes a restricted subsidiary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any liens on property, shares of stock of (or other interests in) or debt of any entity (a) existing at the time of acquisition of such property or shares (or other interests) (including acquisition through merger or consolidation), (b) to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of such property or shares (or other interests) or construction or improvement of such property or (c) to secure any debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 365 days after the later of the

------

acquisition, the completion of construction or the commencement of full operation of such property or within 365 days after the acquisition of such shares (or other interests) for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price of such shares (or other interests) or construction thereon;

The indenture does not restrict the transfer by us of a principal property to any of our unrestricted subsidiaries or our ability to change the designation of a subsidiary owning principal property from a restricted subsidiary to an unrestricted subsidiary and, if we were to do so, any such unrestricted subsidiary would not be restricted from incurring secured debt nor would we be required, upon such incurrence, to secure the notes equally and ratably with such secured debt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we will be the surviving corporation or, if not, that the successor will be a corporation that is organized and validly existing under the laws of any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia and will expressly assume by a supplemental indenture our obligations under the indenture and the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no event of default, and no default or other event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an event of default, will have happened and be continuing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we will have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel, stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer complies with the indenture.

In the event of any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, any such successor will succeed to and be substituted for us as obligor on the notes with the same effect as if it had been named in the indenture as obligor, and we will be released from all obligations under the indenture and under the notes.

**Events of Default**

*2007 Indenture Notes*

An "Event of Default" under the 2007 indenture notes of a given series means:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;default in paying interest on the notes when it becomes due and the default continues for a period of 30 days or more;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;default in paying principal, or premium, if any, on the notes when due;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;default is made in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation when the same becomes due, and such default continues for 30 days or more;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of PepsiCo in the indenture (other than defaults specified in clause (1), (2) or (3) above) and the default or breach continues for a period of 90 days or more after we receive written notice from the trustee or we and the trustee receive notice from the holders of at least 51% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of the series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, administration or similar proceedings with respect to PepsiCo have occurred; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any other Events of Default set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) with respect to PepsiCo) under the indenture occurs with respect to the notes of any series and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 51% in principal amount of the outstanding notes of that series may by written notice require us to repay immediately the entire principal amount of the outstanding notes of that series (or such lesser amount as may be provided in the terms of the notes), together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any.

If an Event of Default under the indenture specified in clause (5) with respect to PepsiCo occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the outstanding notes (or such lesser amount as may be provided in the terms of the notes) will automatically become due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder.

------

After a declaration of acceleration, the holders of not less than 51% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes of any series may rescind this accelerated payment requirement if all existing Events of Default, except for nonpayment of the principal and interest on the notes of that series that has become due solely as a result of the accelerated payment requirement, have been cured or waived and if the rescission of acceleration would not conflict with any judgment or decree. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of any series also have the right to waive past defaults, except a default in paying principal, premium or interest on any outstanding note, or in respect of a covenant or a provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all holders of the notes of that series.

Holders of at least 51% in principal amount of the outstanding notes of a series may seek to institute a proceeding only after they have notified the trustee of a continuing Event of Default in writing and made a written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the trustee to institute a proceeding and the trustee has failed to do so within 60 days after it received this notice. In addition, within this 60-day period the trustee must not have received directions inconsistent with this written request by holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of that series. These limitations do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a holder of a note for the enforcement of the payment of principal, interest or any premium on or after the due dates for such payment.

During the existence of an Event of Default, the trustee is required to exercise the rights and powers vested in it under the 2007 indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent man would under the circumstances in the conduct of that person's own

affairs. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee is not under any obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers at the request or direction of any of the holders unless the holders have offered to the trustee reasonable security or indemnity. Subject to certain provisions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of any series have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust, or power conferred on the trustee.

The trustee will, within 90 days after any default occurs, give notice of the default to the holders of the notes of that series, unless the default was already cured or waived. Unless there is a default in paying principal, interest or any premium when due, the trustee can withhold giving notice to the holders if it determines in good faith that the withholding of notice is in the interest of the holders.

*2024 Indenture Notes*

An "Event of Default" under the 2024 indenture notes of a given series means:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;default in paying interest on the notes when it becomes due and the default continues for a period of 30 days or more;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;default in paying principal, or premium, if any, on the notes when due;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;default is made in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation when the same becomes due, and such default continues for 30 days or more;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of PepsiCo in the indenture (other than defaults specified in clause (1), (2) or (3) above) and the default or breach continues for a period of 90 days or more after we receive written notice from the trustee or we and the trustee receive notice from the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of all affected series (voting together as a single class);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, administration or similar proceedings with respect to PepsiCo have occurred; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any other Events of Default set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) with respect to PepsiCo) under the indenture occurs with respect to the notes of any series and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of all affected series (voting together as a single class) may by written notice require us to repay immediately the entire principal amount of the outstanding notes of each affected series (or such lesser amount as may be provided in the terms of the notes), together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any.

If an Event of Default under the indenture specified in clause (5) with respect to PepsiCo occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the outstanding notes (or such lesser amount as may be provided in the terms of the notes) will automatically become due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder.

------

After a declaration of acceleration, the holders of not less than 51% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes of any series (each such series voting as a separate class) may rescind this accelerated payment requirement with respect to the notes of such series if all existing Events of Default with respect to the notes of such series, except for nonpayment of the principal and interest on the notes of that series that has become due solely as a result of the accelerated payment requirement, have been cured or waived and if the rescission of acceleration would not conflict with any judgment or decree. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes of all affected series under the 2024 indenture (voting together as a single class) have the right to waive past defaults, except a default in paying principal, premium or interest on any outstanding note, or in respect of a covenant or a provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all holders of the notes of each affected series.

Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of all affected series under the 2024 indenture (voting together as a single class) may seek to institute a proceeding only after they have notified the trustee of a continuing Event of Default in writing and made a written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the trustee to institute a proceeding and the trustee has failed to do so within 60 days after it received this notice. In addition, within this 60-day period the trustee must not have received directions inconsistent with this written request by holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of all affected series under the 2024 indenture (voting together as a single class). These limitations do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a holder of a note for the enforcement of the payment of principal, interest or any premium on or after the due dates for such payment.

------

During the existence of an Event of Default, the trustee is required to exercise the rights and powers vested in it under the 2024 indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent man would under the circumstances in the conduct of that person's own affairs. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee is not under any obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers at the request or direction of any of the holders unless the holders have offered to the trustee reasonable security or indemnity. Subject to certain provisions, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of all affected series under the 2024 indenture (voting together as a single class) have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust, or power conferred on the trustee.

The trustee will, within 90 days after any default occurs with respect to the notes of any series, give notice of the default to the holders of the notes of that series, unless the default was already cured or waived. Unless there is a default in paying principal, interest or any premium when due, the trustee can withhold giving notice to the holders if it determines in good faith that the withholding of notice is in the interest of the holders.

**Modification and Waiver**

Each indenture may be amended or modified without the consent of any holder of notes in order to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;evidence a succession to the trustee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cure ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;make any change that does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder.

Other amendments and modifications of the 2007 indenture or the notes issued under such indenture may be made with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of each series affected by the amendment or modification. However, no modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reduce the principal amount, interest or premium payable, or extend the fixed maturity, of the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;alter or waive the redemption provisions of the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;waive a payment default with respect to the notes or any guarantor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reduce the interest rate or extend the time for payment of interest on the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;adversely affect the ranking of the notes of any series; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;release any guarantor from any of its obligations under its guarantee or the indenture, except in compliance with the terms of the indenture.

Other amendments and modifications of the 2024 indenture or the notes of any series issued under such indenture may be made with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of each series affected by the amendment or modification (voting together as a single class), and our compliance with any provision of the 2024 indenture with respect to the notes of any series issued under such indenture may be waived by written notice to us and the trustee by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of each series affected by the waiver (voting together as a single class). However, no modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reduce the principal amount, interest or premium payable, or extend the fixed maturity, of the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;alter or waive the redemption provisions of the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;waive a payment default with respect to the notes or any guarantor;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;reduce the interest rate or extend the time for payment of interest on the notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;adversely affect the ranking of the notes of any series; or

An amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver which changes, eliminates or waives any covenant or other provision of the 2024 indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of notes, or which modifies the rights of the holders of notes of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the 2024 indenture of the holders of notes of any other series.

------

**Satisfaction, Discharge and Covenant Defeasance**

We may terminate our obligations under each indenture, when:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all the notes of any series issued that have been authenticated and delivered have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all the notes of any series issued that have not been delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, will become due and payable within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year and we have made arrangements satisfactory to the trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by such trustee in our name and at our expense, and in each case, we have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee sufficient funds to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the series of notes to pay principal, interest and any premium; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we have paid or caused to be paid all other sums then due and payable under the indenture; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we have delivered to the trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent under the indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture have been complied with.

We may elect to have our obligations under each indenture discharged with respect to the outstanding notes of any series ("legal defeasance"). Legal defeasance means that we will be

------

deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding notes of such series under each indenture, except for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the rights of holders of the notes to receive principal, interest and any premium when due;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;our obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of transfer of the notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment for security payments held in trust;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the defeasance provisions of the applicable indenture.

In addition, we may elect to have our obligations released with respect to certain covenants in each indenture ("covenant defeasance"). Any omission to comply with these obligations will not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to the notes of any series. In the event covenant defeasance occurs, certain events, not including non-payment, bankruptcy and insolvency events, described under "Events of Default" above will no longer constitute an event of default for that series.

In order to exercise either legal defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to outstanding notes of any series:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we must irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to the benefit of the holders of the notes of a series:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;money in an amount;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;U.S. government obligations (or equivalent government obligations in the case of notes denominated in other than U.S. dollars or a specified currency) that will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a combination of money and U.S. government obligations (or equivalent government obligations, as applicable),

in each case sufficient, in the written opinion (with respect to U.S. or equivalent government obligations or a combination of money and U.S. or equivalent government obligations, as applicable) of a nationally recognized firm of independent registered public accountants, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the trustee to pay and discharge, all of the principal (including mandatory sinking fund payments), interest and any premium at the due date or maturity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the case of legal defeasance, we must have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that, under then applicable federal income tax law, the holders of the notes of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge to be effected and will

------

be subject to the same federal income tax as would be the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge did not occur;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the case of covenant defeasance, we must have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the notes of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and covenant defeasance to be effected and will be subject to the same federal income tax as would be the case if the deposit and covenant defeasance did not occur;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no event of default or default with respect to the outstanding notes of that series has occurred and is continuing at the time of such deposit after giving effect to the deposit or, in the case of legal defeasance, no default relating to bankruptcy or insolvency has occurred and is continuing at any time on or before the 91st day after the date of such deposit, it being understood that this condition is not deemed satisfied until after the 91st day;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance will not cause the trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, assuming all notes of a series were in default within the meaning of such Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which we are a party;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance will not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless the trust is registered under such Act or exempt from registration; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we must have delivered to the trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions precedent with respect to the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with.

**Book-Entry, Delivery and Settlement**

We have obtained the information in this section concerning Clearstream and Euroclear and their book-entry systems and procedures from sources that we believe to be reliable. We take no responsibility for an accurate portrayal of this information. In addition, the description of the clearing systems in this section reflects our understanding of the rules and procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear as they are currently in effect. Those clearing systems could change their rules and procedures at any time.

The notes of each series were initially represented by one or more fully registered global notes. Each such global note was deposited with, or on behalf of, a common depositary and registered in the name of the nominee of the common depositary for the accounts of Clearstream and Euroclear. Except as set forth below, the global notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective nominees. You may hold your interests in the global notes in Europe through Clearstream or Euroclear, either as a participant in such

------

systems or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests in the global notes on behalf of their respective participating organizations or customers through customers' securities accounts in Clearstream's or Euroclear's names on the books of their respective depositaries. Book-entry interests in the notes and all transfers relating to the notes will be reflected in the book-entry records of Clearstream and Euroclear. The address of Clearstream is 42 Avenue JF Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg, Luxembourg and the address of Euroclear is 1 Boulevard Roi Albert II, B-1210 Brussels, Belgium.

The distribution of the notes was cleared through Clearstream and Euroclear. Any secondary market trading of book-entry interests in the notes will take place through Clearstream and Euroclear participants and will settle in same-day funds. Owners of book-entry interests in the notes will receive payments relating to their notes in sterling with respect to the sterling notes and euro with respect to the euro notes, except as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Clearstream and Euroclear have established electronic securities and payment transfer, processing, depositary and custodial links among themselves and others, either directly or through custodians and depositaries. These links allow the notes to be issued, held and transferred among the clearing systems without the physical transfer of certificates. Special procedures to facilitate clearance and settlement have been established among these clearing systems to trade securities across borders in the secondary market.

------

The policies of Clearstream and Euroclear govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to the investor's interest in the notes held by them. We have no responsibility for any aspect of the records kept by Clearstream or Euroclear or any of their direct or indirect participants. We also do not supervise these systems in any way.

Clearstream and Euroclear and their participants perform these clearance and settlement functions under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers. You should be aware that they are not obligated to perform or continue to perform these procedures and may modify them or discontinue them at any time.

Except as provided otherwise, owners of beneficial interests in the notes will not be entitled to have the notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the notes in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the indenture, including for purposes of receiving any reports delivered by us or the trustee pursuant to the indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a note must rely on the procedures of the depositary and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, in order to exercise any rights of a holder of notes.

*Certificated Notes*. Subject to certain conditions, the notes represented by the global notes are exchangeable for certificated notes in definitive form of like tenor in minimum denominations of £100,000 principal amount and integral multiples of £1,000 in excess thereof

------

with respect to the sterling notes and €100,000 principal amount and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof with respect to the euro notes if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the common depositary provides notification that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for the global notes and a successor is not appointed within 90 days;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we in our discretion at any time determine not to have all the notes of any series represented by the global note; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;default entitling the holders of the applicable notes of any series to accelerate the maturity thereof has occurred and is continuing.

Any note of any series that is exchangeable as above is exchangeable for certificated notes of such series issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the common depositary shall direct. Subject to the foregoing, a global note is not exchangeable, except for a global note of the same aggregate denomination to be registered in the name of the common depositary (or its nominee).

*Same-day Payment*. Payments (including principal, interest and any additional amounts) and transfers with respect to notes of any series in certificated form may be executed at the office or agency maintained for such purpose within the City of London (initially the office of the paying agent maintained for such purpose) or, at our option, by check mailed to the holders thereof at the respective addresses set forth in the register of holders of the applicable notes of such series, provided that all payments (including principal, interest and any additional amounts)

------

on notes in certificated form, for which the holders thereof have given wire transfer instructions, will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders thereof. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection with that registration may be required.

Law 270882-1

------

**<u>ARTICLE I – HISTORY AND GENERAL INFORMATION</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PepsiCo, Inc. (the "Corporation") first established the PepsiCo International Retirement Plan effective as of September 1, 1980. The Plan at that time was comprised of the "PepsiCo International Retirement Plan Trust Indenture" and the "Plan Rules." The Plan was amended and restated in its entirety, effective September 2, 1982.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Plan was again amended and restated effective October 1, 2003, whereupon the Plan Rules became the "Plan A Rules" (applicable to benefits funded by the Corporation's contributions to the trust established by the PepsiCo International Retirement Plan Trust Indenture) and the "Plan B Rules" (applicable to benefits funded by the Corporation as payable) took effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Plan was further amended effective January 1, 2005, to provide that no person subject to taxation in the United States of America may in any way have their right to a benefit from the Plan come into existence, increase or in any way be enhanced, but instead will be determined as if the person had left the Corporation and any Associated Company permanently before becoming subject to U.S. taxation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective January 1, 2010, the Plan A Rules and Plan B Rules were amended and restated in their entirety to form one Plan document. The amendment and restatement referred to in the prior sentence remains in effect, and it sets forth the terms of the "DB Program."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective January 1, 2011, the Corporation established a new defined contribution structure (the "DC Program") to benefit selected international employees for whom it has been determined to be appropriate (*i.e.*, selected employees on assignments outside of their home countries for whom it is judged to be impractical to have them participate in their home country retirement plans, and employees who are among a selected group of senior globalists on United States tax equalized packages). The terms of the DC Program are set forth in this document, which is the governing legal document for the DC Program. Together, the DC Program and the DB Program set forth the terms of a single Plan. The DC Program is also sometimes referred to in employee communications as the PepsiCo International Pension Plan or "PIPP."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The DC Program was previously amended and restated, effective as of January 1, 2016. As part of that amendment and restatement, the Corporation modified the DC Program to also benefit selected employees: (i) who are localized to a country outside of their home country, (ii) were participating in a defined benefit or defined contribution retirement program sponsored immediately prior to their localization, and (iii) for whom no company-provided retirement program is available.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The DC Program was again amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2019. As part of that amendment and restatement, the Corporation modified the DC Program to recognize same-sex and opposite-sex domestic partners for certain purposes for Members actively

------

employed or on authorized leave of absence on and after January 1, 2019. The DC Program was again amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2021 and January 1, 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The DC Program was again amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2024 for certain plan rule clarifications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The DC Program is now hereby amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At all times, the Plan is unfunded and unsecured for purposes of the United States Internal Revenue Code and Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). The benefits of an executive are an obligation of that executive's individual employer. With respect to his employer, the executive has the rights of an unsecured general creditor. The Plan is also intended to be exempt from ERISA as a plan maintained outside of the United States primarily for the benefit of persons substantially all of whom are nonresident aliens of the United States.

Currently, the Distribution Valuation Date for a Member is the month end that occurs just after the event specified in Article VI that triggers the Member's distribution. Accordingly, if the trigger event occurs on December 30 of a year, the current Distribution Valuation Date is December 31 of that year, and if the trigger event occurs on December 31 of a year, the current Distribution Valuation Date is January 31 of the following year. The Vice President may change any current Distribution Valuation Date. Values are determined as of the close of a Distribution Valuation Date or, if such date is not a business day, as of the close of the preceding business day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) "<u>Effective Date</u>" means the date as of which the DC Program is effective, January 1, 2011.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) "<u>Eligible Domestic Partner</u>" means, solely with respect to a Member who is actively employed by, or on an Authorized Leave of Absence from, a member of the PepsiCo Organization on or after January 1, 2019, an individual who is of the same sex or opposite sex as the Member and who satisfies paragraph (1), (2) or (3), subject to the additional rules set forth in paragraph (4), as determined by the Vice President.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)<u>Civil Union</u>. If the Member has entered into a civil union or similar government-recognized status that is valid at the Member's death under the law of the location that is determined by the Vice President to be the Member's principal residence, the Member's Domestic Partner (if any) is the individual with whom the Member has entered into such status, provided that such individual submits a claim for benefits within 60 days of Member's date of death (and if no such claim is submitted, the individual shall not be a Domestic Partner under this Section 2.01(i)(1)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)<u>Benefits Enrollment</u>. If the Member does not have a Domestic Partner pursuant to subsection (1) above, the Member's Eligible Domestic Partner (if any) is the individual who, on the applicable date, was validly enrolled, as the Member's domestic partner, in the Cigna International Health Program (or its successor) sponsored by the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)<u>Other Acceptable Evidence of Partnership</u>. If the Member does not have a Domestic Partner under paragraph (1) or (2) above, such Member's Domestic Partner, if any, is the individual who satisfies such criteria of domestic partnership as the Vice President has specified in writing, provided that such

------

individual submits a claim for benefits within 60 days of the Member's date of death (and if no such claim is submitted, the individual shall not be a Domestic Partner under this Section 2.01(i)(3)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)<u>Additional Rules</u>. Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements in this subsection to submit a claim for benefits within 60 days of the Member's death, the Vice President may exercise discretion to authorize (even retroactively) an extended period for submitting such a claim when doing so will not create a substantial risk of competing claims for benefits (and where there is good reason to consider an extension, such as circumstances beyond the control of the domestic partner that made filing a claim impracticable for all or a substantial portion of the 60-day period). The term "Eligible Domestic Partner" does not apply to a Member's Eligible Spouse. A Member is not permitted to have more than one Eligible Domestic Partner at any point in time, and a Member who has an Eligible Spouse is not permitted to have an Eligible Domestic Partner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) "<u>Eligible Employee</u>" means an individual who the Vice President has determined (i) is employed exclusively outside of the United States on the regular staff of an Approved Employer on a full-time salaried basis, (ii) is neither actively accruing benefits that are derived from service under the DB Program nor is designated as being eligible to accrue such benefits, (iii) is not a U.S. Person, and (iv) is described in at least one of the following paragraphs

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The individual is on an assignment outside of his home country and it is judged to be impractical to have him participate in the retirement plan(s) sponsored by the Corporation (or an Affiliated Company) in his home country;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The individual is on his second (or more) consecutive assignment outside of his home country (effective as of January 1, 2021, the first assignment outside of his home country also qualifies), and the retirement plan(s) available to the individual in his home country do not include a retirement plan that is sponsored by the Corporation or an Affiliated Company (*e.g.*, a case where only a statutory plan is available to the individual);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The individual is among a selected group of senior globalists on United States tax equalized packages whose positions and employment terms are among those that the Vice President has determined make them eligible to be considered for membership in the DC Program; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The individual is localized to a country outside of his home country, was actively participating in a retirement program sponsored by a member of the PepsiCo Organization immediately prior to his localization that will not provide for his continued active participation after his localization, and the local country employer does not sponsor a retirement plan.

------

The determination of whether a Member is married shall be made by the Vice President based on the law of the location that is determined by the Vice President to be the Member's principal residence; provided, however, that for purposes of the DC Program, a Member shall have only one Eligible Spouse.

As of the Effective Date, the Interest Rate is the rate of interest on 30-year Treasury securities as prescribed by the Commissioner of the United States Internal Revenue Service for the month of September immediately preceding the first day of the Plan Year to which an Interest Credit relates. The Vice President shall have the discretion to change from time to time the basis for determining the Interest Rate as necessary to ensure that the Interest Rate is readily determinable and administrable, and that it can be reasonably expected to provide substantially a market rate of interest over time. At all times the Interest Rate shall not exceed a level that may be considered "earnings" under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(o).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) "<u>Salary</u>" means (i) in the case of an Eligible Employee who is not paid on a United States payroll and became an Active Member before January 1, 2021, home notional base salary (but the Vice President may authorize also including an amount of notional annual bonus paid to the Eligible Employee), (ii) in the case of an Eligible Employee who is not paid on a United States payroll and becomes an Active Member on or after January 1, 2021 and, subsequently, for all Active Members effective January 1, 2026, home notional base salary and notional annual bonus, and (iii) in the case of an Eligible Employee who is paid on a United States payroll, base salary plus annual bonus, but the following shall be excluded in all cases:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) All other amounts taxable as remuneration for personal services, including amounts received or deemed received under any other pension or welfare plan maintained by a member of the PepsiCo Organization or any Employer, premium bonuses, sign-on bonus or other one-time payments, income

.

The determination of an Eligible Employee's Salary in accordance with the preceding three sentences shall be made by the Vice President and shall be conclusive and binding on all Eligible Employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(w) "<u>Service</u>" means the period during which an Eligible Employee is in employment with an Approved Employer, including employment with an Approved Employer before a break in service. Employment during a break in Service will only be counted as Service if the break lasts no more than 12 months. In the case of an individual who transfers from employment with an Employer that is not an Approved Employer to a position as an Eligible Employee of an Approved Employer, his pre-transfer period of employment with an Employer may be counted as Service only with the approval of the Vice President. Similarly, in the case of an individual who transfers from employment with an Eligible Employee of an Approved Employer to other employment with an Employer, his post-transfer period of employment with an Employer may be counted as Service only with the approval of the Vice President. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this subsection or as approved by the Vice President, Service shall not include an individual's periods of employment with any company or undertaking prior to it becoming an Employer or a member of the PepsiCo Organization. No determination of an individual's Service shall result in any duplication, and an individual's Service shall at all times be subject to the overriding restrictions of Section 9.14.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x) "<u>Status Change</u>" means any change in a Member's circumstances (other than a change in circumstances that constitutes an Approved Transfer) that will cause the Member to become a U.S. Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(y) "<u>U.S. Person</u>" means: (1) a citizen of the United States of America; (2) a person lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States of America at any time during the calendar year, or who has (subject to the next sentence) applied for such permanent residence (within the meaning of United States Internal Revenue Code section 7701(b)(1)(A)); or (3) any other person who is a resident alien of the United States of America under United States Internal Revenue Code section 7701(b)(1)(A) because, for example, the person satisfies the substantial presence test under United States Internal Revenue Code section 7701(b)(3) or makes an election to be treated as a United States resident under United States Internal Revenue Code section 7701(b)(4). (Notwithstanding the prior sentence, a person who has applied for permanent residence shall not be considered a U.S. Person, as a result of a specific application for permanent residence, as of the date that the specific application is deemed to have been abandoned or to have otherwise become inapplicable, as determined in the discretion of the Vice President.) In addition, a person shall be considered a U.S. Person for purposes of Section 9.14 in any year for which the person is required by the United States Internal

------

Revenue Code to file an individual income tax return, unless the Vice President determines that it is clear that the person has no U.S. source earned income from a member of the PepsiCo Organization for such year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(z) "<u>Valuation date</u>" means each business day, as determined by the Vice President, as of which Members' PIRP-DC Accounts are valued (for purposes other than distributions under Article VI) in accordance with DC Program procedures that are then currently in effect. As of the Effective Date, the DC Program shall have a Valuation Date for all Members as of the last day of each Plan Year. In addition, to the extent provided in Section 4.02, the DC Program shall have a special Valuation Date prior to the end of a Plan Year for Active Members who have an Approved Transfer (and for certain Active Members who have a Status Change) as described in Section 4.02. In accordance with procedures that may be adopted by the Vice President, any current Valuation Date may be changed (but in such case adjustments shall apply in the operation of the DC Program as necessary to prevent duplicate or disproportionate benefits, as determined by the Vice President). Values are determined as of the close of a Valuation Date or, if such date is not a business day, as of the close of the preceding business day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(aa) "<u>Vice President</u>" means the Vice President, Global Benefits & Wellness of PepsiCo, Inc., but if such position is vacant or eliminated it shall be the person who is acting to fulfill the majority of the duties of the position (or plurality of the duties, if no one is fulfilling a majority), as such duties existed immediately prior to the vacancy or the position elimination.

**2.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Construction.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Gender and Number</u>: Unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, (i) a reference to one or more genders shall include a reference to all the other genders, and (ii) the singular may include the plural, and the plural may include the singular.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Determining Periods of Years:</u> For the purposes of the DC Program, any period of 365 consecutive days (or of 366 consecutive days, if the period includes 29<sup>th</sup> February) shall be deemed to constitute a year, but not so that in the calculation of a number of years any day is counted more than once. Where the amount of a benefit depends upon the calculation of a number of years or months without expressly requiring that these should be complete years or months, a proportionate amount (*i.e.*, a number of days) may be given for any part of a year or month which would not otherwise be included in the calculation. Where this document makes reference to months or parts of a year, or to any other period of time except a day, week or year the Vice President may authorize the period to be counted in days or complete calendar months with each calendar month counted as 1/12th of a year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Compounds of the Word "Here":</u> The words "hereof" and "hereunder" and other similar compounds of the word "here" shall mean and refer to the entire DC Program, not to any particular provision or section. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Examples:</u> Whenever an example is provided or the text uses the term "including" followed by a specific item or items, or there is a passage having a similar effect, such passages of the document shall be construed as if the phrase "without limitation" followed such example or term (or otherwise applied to such passage in a manner that avoids limitation on its breadth of application).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Subdivisions of This Document:</u> This document is divided and subdivided using the following progression: articles, sections, subsections, paragraphs, subparagraphs and clauses. Articles are designated by capital roman numerals. Sections are designated by Arabic numerals containing a decimal point. Subsections are designated by lower-case letters in parentheses. Paragraphs are designated by Arabic numerals in parentheses. Subparagraphs are designated by lower-case roman numerals in parentheses. Clauses are designated by upper-case letters in parentheses.

**<u>ARTICLE III – MEMBERSHIP</u>**

**3.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Eligibility for Membership.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Every person who the Vice President determines is an Eligible Employee shall be eligible for Membership.

**3.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Admission to Membership.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Every person who the Vice President determines is an Eligible Employee, and who is not during the relevant time a U.S. Person, shall, following the approval of his Membership by the Vice President, be admitted to Membership effective as of his Entry Date. For this purpose, the relevant time includes a sufficient period before the Eligible Employee's Proposed Entry Date as is necessary to avoid PIRP-DC Accounts being considered deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code. In all cases, no Eligible Employee or any other person shall be admitted to or continue in Membership without the approval of the Vice President.

**3.03&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Active and Inactive Membership.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A Member shall be an Active Member during the period that he is – (a) employed as an Eligible Employee, (b) not a U.S. Person, and (c) currently approved for status as an Active Member by the Vice President. A Member shall be an Inactive Member during any period that he does not currently meet all of the requirements to be an Active Member.

------

**<u>ARTICLE IV – CONTRIBUTIONS</u>**

**4.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Contributions.**

To the extent provided in subsections (a) and (b) below and only as permitted under the last sentence of this Section 4.01, the Employer shall allocate Pay Credits and Interest Credits to a Member's PIRP-DC Account, each determined by the Vice President as follows –

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Pay Credit</u>. To receive a Pay Credit for a Plan Year, an Eligible Employee must be an Active Member during such year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective for any Eligible Employee participating in the Plan on and after January 1, 2026 and who does not have any Service completed while a U.S. Person, the amount of the Active Member's Pay Credits shall be determined by the number of "points" attributed to the Active Member in accordance with the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| <u>Points</u> | <u>Amount of Pay Credit</u> |
| Less than 35 | 5% of Salary |
| 35-39 | 6% of Salary |
| 40-44 | 7% of Salary |
| 45-49 | 8% of Salary |
| 50-54 | 9% of Salary |
| 55-59 | 10% of Salary |
| 60-64 | 11% of Salary |
| 65 or more | 12% of Salary |

---

Such an Active Member's points shall be determined by the sum of the Active Member's age and years of Service, with each expressed in whole years and days.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Otherwise, the Vice President shall specify the Active Member's applicable percentage as of the Active Member's Entry Date (or, if the Member ceases to be an Active Member, and then becomes an Active Member again, as of the date the Member again becomes an Active Member). For each subsequent Plan Year that the individual is an Active Member, the Vice President may specify a new applicable percentage that shall apply to the Active Member for such Plan Year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs, specifications of an applicable percentage by the Vice President and calculations of Pay Credits are made in the Vice President's sole

------

discretion, and at no time does an Eligible Employee have a legally binding right to be assigned any initial or increased applicable percentage. An Active Member's Pay Credits with respect to Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2023 shall not be limited by the Code section 401(a)(17) limit. For Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2023, an Active Member's Pay Credits were limited to ensure that the Active Member's Pay Credits do not exceed the Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17) limit in effect for such Plan Year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Interest Credit</u>. To receive an Interest Credit for a Plan Year, an individual must be either an Active Member or Inactive Member during such year, and the individual must have had a balance in his PIRP-DC Account as of the prior Plan Year's Valuation Date. The amount of a Member's Interest Credit shall be determined by the Vice President by multiplying the Interest Rate for the period since the last Valuation Date by the balance of the Member's PIRP-DC Account as of such last Valuation Date.

A Member's Pay Credit and Interest Credit shall be determined by the Vice President as soon as administratively practicable after each Valuation Date. If a Member has less than one full year of Active Membership since such last Valuation Date (*e.g.,* as may apply in the Member's first and last year of Membership), the Member's Pay Credit as otherwise determined under subsection (a) above shall be prorated for such period based upon the Member's fractional year of Active Membership. If a Member has less than one full year of Membership since such last Valuation Date, any Interest Credit as otherwise available and determined under subsection (b) above shall be prorated for such period based upon the Member's fractional year of Membership (*e.g.*, as may apply in the Member's last year of Membership). A fractional year shall be computed by dividing the Member's days of Membership or Active Membership (as applicable) during the Plan Year by the total number of days in such Plan Year. A period of paid leave of absence during a Plan Year shall be considered a period of Active Membership for purposes of determining a Member's Pay Credit for the Plan Year in accordance with the prior sentence. However, a period of unpaid leave of absence during a Plan Year shall not be considered a period of Active Membership for purposes of determining a Member's Pay Credit for the Plan Year in accordance with the prior sentence (and as a result, the Pay Credit for the Plan Year containing the unpaid leave shall be prorated, or there shall be no Pay Credit, all as necessary to limit Pay Credits to the Member's period of Active Membership during the Plan Year). In the event a prorated Pay Credit and Interest Credit relate to the Member's final year of Membership, the Pay Credit and Interest Credit shall be determined as of the Member's Distribution Valuation Date (with proration based upon the Member's fractional final year of Membership). The calculation of the Pay Credit and Interest Credit by the Vice President shall be conclusive and binding on all Members (and their Dependants). In all cases, Pay Credits or Interest Credits shall not be allocated to a Member to the extent necessary (or deemed appropriate by the Vice President in his discretion) to fully ensure compliance with limitations in Section 9.14.

------

**4.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Offsets.**

Notwithstanding Section 4.01, the Corporation may reduce the amount of any payment or benefit that is or would become payable to or on behalf of a Member by the amount of any obligation of the Member to a member of the PepsiCo Organization or by the amount of –

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Any material benefits accrued by the Member under a retirement plan sponsored by a member of the PepsiCo Organization or by any country, state, province or other political subdivision or locality, to the extent the Vice President determines that the benefit amount under such retirement plan is for Service or Salary that is taken into account in providing Pay Credits under the DC Program, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any termination indemnity or other payment to the Member by the Employer or PepsiCo Organization related to the Member's termination of employment, to the extent the Vice President determines that the payment is reasonably related to Service that is taken into account in providing Pay Credits under the DC Program.

Consistent with the foregoing, appropriate reductions shall be made in the Pay Credits and Interest Credits that otherwise would be provided to the Member under Section 4.01, from the balance in the Member's PIRP-DC Account under Article V, and from the Member's distributions under Article VI. Effective for Members who terminate service with the PepsiCo Organization after December 31, 2024, such appropriate reductions with respect to a Member under this Section 4.02 shall be applied separately to each of the Member's separate assignments with the PepsiCo Organization that is identified for this purpose by the Vice President. For these Members, only Pay Credits and Interest Credits deemed applicable by the Vice President to be derived from a particular assignment shall be reduced by the value of items described in subsections (a) and (b) above, and only to the extent these items are determined by the Vice President to be related to the particular assignment. Accordingly, for these Members, the application of this Section 4.02 with respect to a particular assignment shall not reduce a Member's right to payment from the Plan below the level that would have applied if the assignment had never occurred. However, for the avoidance of doubt, even though reductions are applied to each assignment separately, all assignments with Pay Credits or Interest Credits are subject to reduction, and so the net benefit from the Plan may be zero. The determination of whether a benefit is material and all other aspects of the application of this Section 4.02 (including valuation of items described in subsections (a) and (b) above, any actuarial adjustments that the Vice President deems appropriate, and the Pay Credits and Interest Credits derived from an assignment—which may include Pay Credits and Interest Credits that are allocated under the Plan after the end date of the assignment) is solely in the independent discretion of the Vice President.

------

**<u>ARTICLE V – MEMBER ACCOUNTS</u>**

**5.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accounting for Members' Interests.**

Pay Credits and Interest Credits shall be credited to a Member's PIRP-DC Account as of the Valuation Date to which such credits relate (or, in the case of Pay Credits and Interest Credits that relate to the Member's final year of Membership, as of the Member's Distribution Valuation Date) or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. A Member's PIRP-DC Account is a bookkeeping device to track the notional value of the Member's Pay Credits and Interest Credits (and his Employer's liability for such credits). No assets shall be reserved or segregated in connection with any PIRP-DC Account, and no PIRP-DC Account shall be funded, insured or otherwise secured.

**5.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vesting.** 

Subject to Sections 4.02, 9.08, and 9.14, a Member shall be fully vested in, and have a nonforfeitable right to, his PIRP-DC Account upon completing 3 years of Service, or if earlier, upon the death or disability of the Member while employed by the Employer or PepsiCo Organization. The determination of whether a Member has become disabled for this purpose shall be made by the Vice President in accordance with such standards as the Vice President deems to be appropriate as of the time in question.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The crediting and vesting of Pay Credits pursuant to this Plan (including the crediting of related Interest Credits) shall not in any way exempt the Pay Credits and Interest Credits from the full application of the Company's clawback and other forfeiture and recovery policies ("Clawback Policies"), as they are in effect from time to time. Accordingly, a Member's Account shall be subject to forfeiture (and if paid out, to recovery) to the extent determined to be appropriate by the Vice President to give full effect to these Clawback Policies. Section 9.08 shall not be construed to reduce or impair the forfeiture and recovery rights provided by this Section 5.02.

**5.03&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Special Vesting for Approved Transfers and Status Changes.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Automatic Special Vesting for Approved Transfers.</u> Notwithstanding Section 5.02 above, in the case of an Active Member who will have an Approved Transfer during a Plan Year, the Active Member shall automatically have special vesting apply as of the last business day before the earlier of – (a) the Active Member's Approved Transfer, or (b) the day the Active Member would become a U.S. Person in connection with the Approved Transfer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Special Vesting for Status Changes</u>. Also notwithstanding Section 5.02 above, in the case of an Active Member who will have a Status Change, the Active Member may request that the Vice President apply special vesting to him as of the last

------

business day before the Active Member's Status Change. In order for special vesting related to a Status Change to be valid and effective under the DC Program, the Active Member's request and the Vice President's approval of the request must both be completely final and in place prior to the date that the special vesting applies.

Subject to the next sentence, the effect of special vesting applying to a Member in accordance with either subsection (a) or (b) above is that the Member will become vested, to the same extent as could apply under Section 5.02 if the Member vested under that Section, as of the date that the special vesting applies. Therefore, special vesting remains fully subject to the Company's Clawback Policies in accordance with the second paragraph of Section 5.02. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 5.03, rights under this Section 5.03 are subject to the overriding requirement that allocations, benefits and other rights under the Plan must remain entirely exempt from Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code, and this Section 5.03 shall not apply to the extent inconsistent with this requirement.

------

**<u>ARTICLE VI – DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS</u>**

**6.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distribution Rules Generally.**

A Member's PIRP-DC Account shall be distributed based upon first to occur of the Member's termination of employment with the PepsiCo Organization or death, as provided in Sections 6.02 and 6.03 respectively, subject to Section 4.06 (vesting). All distributions shall be made in cash.

**6.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distributions Upon Termination of Employment.** 

If a Member's PIRP-DC Account becomes distributable based upon his termination of employment with the PepsiCo Organization, such distribution shall be made in a single lump sum payment as of the first of the month that immediately follows the Member's Distribution Valuation Date. In the case of a Member whose termination of employment with the PepsiCo Organization occurs as a result of the Member becoming disabled, for purposes of this Section, the determination of whether such Member is disabled and the date on which such Member's termination of employment is considered to occur shall be made by the Vice President. Normally distributions are made promptly following termination of employment based on the payment information provided in the terminating Member's completed distribution form. However, the continued allocation of Interest Credits to a Member's PIRP-DC Account shall only continue for six months after the Member's termination of employment with the PepsiCo Organization. Therefore, if a Member's distribution is not made within six months of such termination, e.g., because the Member has not completed and returned the distribution form, the Member's distribution at a later date shall be based on the value of the Member's PIRP-DC Account on the day that is six months after the Member's termination of employment date (the "six-months day"). In the event there is a material delay in payment beyond the six-months day as a result of exceptional circumstances that are beyond the control of the Member, the Vice President has discretion to provide Interest Credits beyond the six-months day to the extent the Vice President deems such Interest Credits to be consistent with efficient administration of the Plan.

**6.03&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distributions Upon Death.** 

If a Member's PIRP-DC Account becomes distributable based upon his death, such distribution shall be made in a single lump sum payment as of the first day of the month that immediately follows the Member's Distribution Valuation Date. Amounts paid following a Member's death shall be paid to the Member's Dependant; provided, however, that if no Dependant designation is in effect at the time of the Member's death (as determined by the Vice President), or if all persons designated as Dependants have predeceased the Member, then the payments to be made pursuant to this Section shall be distributed to the Member's Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner, as applicable, or, if the Member does not have an Eligible Spouse or an Eligible Domestic Partner at the time of his death, to his estate. Normally

------

distributions are made promptly following death based on the payment information provided in the completed distribution form of the Dependant or other applicable payee ("Payee"). However, the continued allocation of Interest Credit's to a Member's PIRP-DC Account shall only continue for six months after the Member's termination of employment with the PepsiCo Organization. Therefore, if a Dependant's or Payee's distribution is not made within six months of such termination, e.g., because the Dependant or Payee has not completed and returned the distribution form, the Dependant's or Payee's distribution at a later date shall be based on the value of the Member's PIRP-DC Account on the day that is six months after the Member's termination of employment date (the "six-months day"). In the event there is a material delay in payment beyond the six-months day as a result of exceptional circumstances that are beyond the control of the Dependant or Payee, the Vice President has discretion to provide Interest Credits beyond the six-months day to the extent the Vice President deems such Interest Credits to be consistent with efficient administration of the Plan.

**6.04&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Valuation.**

In determining the amount of any individual distribution pursuant to this Article, the Member's PIRP-DC Account shall continue to be credited with Interest Credits (and debited for expenses) as specified in Article V until the Member's Distribution Valuation Date.

**6.05&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Designation of Dependant.**

A Member shall designate one or more Dependants who will be entitled to any amounts payable on his death. A Member shall have the right to change or revoke his Dependant designation at any time prior to the effective date of such election. If the Member is married at the time he or she designates a Dependant(s), any designation under this section of a Dependant(s) who is not the Member's Eligible Spouse shall require the written consent of the Member's Eligible Spouse. A revocation of a Dependant(s) does not require consent by the Member's Eligible Spouse. The designation of any Dependant(s), and any change or revocation thereof, and any written consent of a Member's Eligible Spouse required by this Section shall be made in accordance with rules adopted by the Vice President, shall be made in writing on forms provided by the Vice President, and shall not be effective unless and until filed with the Vice President.

**<u>ARTICLE VII – ADMINISTRATION</u>**

**7.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Authority to Administer Plan.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Administration by the Vice President:</u> The Plan shall be administered by the Vice President, who shall have the authority to interpret the Plan and issue such regulations as he deems appropriate. All actions by the Vice President hereunder may be taken in his sole discretion, and all interpretations, determinations and regulations made or issued by the Vice President shall be final and binding on all persons and parties concerned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Authority to Delegate:</u> The Vice President may delegate any of his responsibilities under the Plan to other persons or entities, or designate or employ other persons to carry out any of his duties, responsibilities or other functions under the Plan. Any reference in the Plan to an action by the Vice President shall, to the extent applicable, refer to such action by the Vice President's delegate or other designated person.

**7.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Facility of Payment.**

Whenever, in the opinion of the Vice President, a person entitled to receive any payment of a benefit hereunder is under a legal disability or is incapacitated in any way so as to be unable to manage his financial affairs, the Vice President may direct that payments from the Plan be made to such person's legal representative for his benefit, or that the payment be applied for the benefit of such person in such manner as the Vice President considers advisable. Any payment of a benefit in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be a complete discharge of any liability for the making of such payment under the provisions of the Plan.

**7.03&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Claims Procedure.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Vice President shall have the exclusive discretionary authority to construe and to interpret the Plan, to decide all questions of eligibility for benefits and to determine the amount of such benefits, and his decisions on such matters are final and conclusive. As a result, benefits under this Plan will be paid only if the Vice President decides in his discretion that the person claiming such benefits is entitled to them. Any decisions or determinations hereunder shall be made in the absolute and unrestricted discretion of the Vice President, even if (i) such discretion is not expressly granted by the Plan provisions in question, or (ii) a decision or determination is not expressly called for by the Plan provisions in question, and even though other Plan provisions expressly grant discretion or expressly call for a decision or determination. This discretionary authority is intended to be absolute, and in any case where the extent of this discretion is in question, the Vice President is to be accorded the maximum discretion possible. Any exercise of this discretionary authority shall be reviewed by a court, arbitrator or other tribunal under the arbitrary and capricious standard (*i.e.*, the abuse of discretion standard). All

------

decisions and determinations made by the Vice President shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all parties. The Vice President may consider the intent of the Corporation with respect to a Plan provision in making any determination with respect to the provision, notwithstanding the provisions set forth in any document that arguably do not contemplate considering such intent.

If, pursuant to this discretionary authority, an assertion of any right to a benefit or any other right related to the Plan (a "claim"), by or on behalf of a Member, putative Member, Dependant or putative Dependant (a "claimant"), is wholly or partially denied, the Vice President, or a party designated by the Vice President, will provide such claimant the claims procedure described in this section. The Vice President has the discretionary authority to modify the claims procedure described in this Section in any manner so long as the claims review process, as modified, includes the basic steps described in this Section. In the event of a claim by a claimant, the Vice President or the designated party shall provide the claimant within the 90-day period following the receipt of the claim by the Vice President, a comprehensible written notice setting forth:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The specific reason or reasons for such denial;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) A description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to submit to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) A description of the Plan's claim review procedure (including the time limits applicable to such process).

If the Vice President determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim he may extend the response period from 90 to 180 days. If this occurs, the Vice President will notify the claimant before the end of the initial 90-day period, indicating the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Vice President expects to make the final decision. Upon review, the Vice President shall provide the claimant a full and fair review of the claim, including the opportunity to submit to the Vice President comments, document, records and other information relevant to the claim and the Vice President's review shall take into account such comments, documents, records and information regardless of whether it was submitted or considered at the initial determination. The decision on review will be made within 60 days after receipt of the request for review, unless circumstances warrant an extension of time not to exceed an additional 60 days. If this occurs, notice of the extension will be furnished to the claimant before the end of the initial 60-day period, indicating the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Vice President expects to make the final decision. The final decision shall be in writing and drafted in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant; include specific reasons for the decision with references to the specific Plan provisions on which the decision is based; and

------

provide that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to his or her claim for benefits.

Any claim under the Plan that is reviewed by a court, arbitrator or any other tribunal shall be reviewed solely on the basis of the record before the Vice President at the time it made its determination. In addition, any such review shall be conditioned on the claimant's having fully exhausted all rights under this section and in accordance with Section 7.07.

**7.04&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Limitations on Actions.**

Any claim filed under Article VII and any action filed in any court or other tribunal by or on behalf of a former or current Employee, Member, Dependant or any other individual, person or entity (collectively, a "Petitioner") for the alleged wrongful denial of Plan benefits must be brought within two years of the date the Petitioner's cause of action first accrues. For purposes of this subsection, a cause of action with respect to a Petitioner's benefits under the Plan shall be deemed to accrue not later than earliest of (i) when the Petitioner has received the calculation of the benefits that are the subject of the claim or legal action; (ii) the date identified to the Petitioner by the Vice President on which payments shall commence; or (iii) when he has actual or constructive knowledge of the facts that are the basis of his claim. Failure to bring any such claim or cause of action within this two-year time frame shall preclude a Petitioner, or any representative of the Petitioner, from filing the claim or cause of action. Correspondence or other communications following the mandatory appeals process described above shall have no effect on this two-year time frame.

**7.05&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restriction of Venue.**

Any claim or action filed in court or any other tribunal in connection with the Plan by or on behalf of a Petitioner shall only be brought or filed in the state or federal courts of New York, specifically the state or federal court, whichever applies, located nearest the Corporation's headquarters.

**7.06&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effect of Specific References.**

Specific references in the Plan to the Vice President's discretion shall create no inference that the Vice President's discretion in any other respect, or in connection with any other provision, is less complete or broad.

**7.07&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Claimant Must Exhaust the Plan's Claims Procedures Before Filing in Court.**

Before filing any Claim (as defined below in this Section), including a suit or other action, in a court or in another tribunal, a Claimant (as defined below in this Section) must first fully exhaust all of the Claimant's rights under the claims procedure in Section 7.03.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon review by any court or other tribunal, the exhaustion requirement of this Section 7.07 is intended to be interpreted to require exhaustion in as many circumstances as possible (and any steps necessary to clarify or effect this intent may be taken). For example, exhaustion may not be excused (i) for failure to respond to a Claim unless the purported Claimant took sufficient steps to make it reasonably clear to the Vice President that the purported Claimant was submitting a Claim with respect to the Plan, or (ii) for failure to fulfill a request for documents unless (A) this Plan or applicable law requires the documents to be provided in response to the request, (B) the Claimant requests such documents in a writing that is addressed to and actually received by the Vice President, (C) the Vice President fails to provide the requested documents within 6 months after the date the request is received, or within such longer period as may be reasonable under the facts and circumstances, and (D) the requestor took sufficient steps to make it reasonably clear to the Vice President that the requestor was asserting a legal right to the documents. Accordingly, without limitation, a purported Claimant or requestor who was not treated as a Member shall not be deemed to have taken sufficient steps for purposes of the prior sentence unless he makes it reasonably clear to the Vice President that he is claiming to have been entitled to be a Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The exhaustion requirement of this Section 7.06 shall apply: (i) regardless of whether other Disputes (as defined below in this Section) that are not Claims (including those that a court or other tribunal might consider at the same time) are of greater significance or relevance, (ii) to any rights the Vice President may choose to provide in connection with novel Disputes or in particular situations, (iii) regardless of whether the rights are actual or potential, and (iv) even if the Vice President has not previously defined or established specific claims procedures that directly apply to the submission and consideration of such Claim (in which case the Vice President, upon notice of the Claim) shall either promptly establish such claims procedures or shall apply (or act by analogy to) the claims procedures of Section 7.03 that apply to claims for benefits).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Vice President may make special arrangements to consider a Claim on a class basis or to address unusual conflicts concerns, and such minimum arrangements in these respects shall be made as are necessary to maximize the extent to which exhaustion is required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of this Section 7.07, the following definitions apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A "Dispute" is any claim, dispute, issue, assertion, action or other matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A "Claim" is any Dispute that implicates in whole or in part any one or more of the following –

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The interpretation of the Plan;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The interpretation of any term or condition of the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The interpretation of the Plan (or any of its terms or conditions) in light of applicable law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Whether the Plan or any term or condition under the Plan has been validly adopted or put into effect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The administration of the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Whether the Plan, in whole or in part, has violated any terms, conditions or requirements of applicable law or regulation, regardless of whether such terms, conditions or requirements are, in whole or in part, incorporated into the terms, conditions or requirements of the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(G)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A request for Plan benefits or an attempt to recover Plan benefits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(H)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An assertion that any entity or individual has breached any legal duty; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(I)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any Claim that: (i) is deemed similar to any of the foregoing by the Vice President, or (ii) relates to the Plan in any way.

It is the Vice President's intent to interpret and operate the Plan in good faith and at all times consistently with any requirements of applicable law. Therefore, as a condition for any right or recovery related to the Plan, the Plan imposes a contractual obligation for complete exhaustion under this Section with respect to any Claim (as defined above) in order to allow for the efficient and uniform resolution of such Claims and to protect the Plan from potentially substantial and unnecessary litigation expenses that exhaustion could obviate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A "Claimant" is any actual or putative Eligible Employee, former Eligible Employee, Member, former Member, Dependant (or the spouse, former spouse, estate, heir or representative of any of the foregoing individuals), or any other individual, person, entity with a relationship to any of the foregoing individuals or the Plan, as well as any group of one or more of the foregoing, who has a Claim.

------

**<u>ARTICLE VIII – AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION</u>**

**8.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Continuation of the Plan.** 

While the Corporation intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, it assumes no contractual obligation as to its continuance. The Corporation hereby reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to amend, terminate, or partially terminate the Plan at any time provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall reduce the balance (determined as of the date of such amendment or termination) in the Plan account maintained for the benefit of a Member or his Dependant, except to the extent the Member becomes entitled to an amount under another plan or practice maintained by an Employer. Specific forms (including times) of payment are not protected under the preceding sentence. The Corporation's rights under this Article VIII shall be as broad as permissible under applicable law.

**8.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amendment.** 

The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, make any amendment or amendments to this Plan from time to time, with or without retroactive effect, subject to Section 8.01. An Employer (other than the Corporation) shall not have the right to amend the Plan.

**8.03&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Termination.** 

The Corporation may terminate the Plan, either as to its participation or as to the participation of one or more Employers. If the Plan is terminated with respect to fewer than all of the Employers, the Plan shall continue in effect for the benefit of the employees of the remaining Employers.

------

**<u>ARTICLE IX – MISCELLANEOUS</u>**

**9.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unfunded Plan.**

The Employers' obligations under the Plan shall not be funded, but shall constitute liabilities by the Employer payable when due out of the Employer's general funds. To the extent a Member or any other person acquires a right to receive benefits under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the rights of any unsecured general creditor of the Employer.

**9.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Costs of the Plan.**

Unless otherwise agreed by the Corporation, all costs, charges and expenses of or incidental to the administration and management of the Plan shall be the costs, charges and expenses of the Employers and shall be paid by each Employer based on the proportion of Members who are employed by such Employer as compared to the total number of Members at the time the cost or expense is incurred.

**9.03&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Temporary Absence of Member.**

If a Member is absent from duty by reason other than death, discharge, retirement or quitting (*e.g.*, sickness, accident, layoff, vacation), he shall be deemed to have terminated employment on the date that is 12 months after the date on which he is absent, unless the Vice President determines otherwise. If the Member's absence from duty is by reason of his service as a full-time member of the armed forces of any country or of any organization engaged in national service of any such country, he shall not be deemed to have terminated employment so long as he is regarded by the Employer as remaining in employment or until he shall resign permanently from employment, whichever shall first occur.

**9.04&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Taxes, Etc.**

In the event any tax or assessment or other duty is determined by the Vice President to be owing in respect of any benefit payable from the Plan, the Plan shall be entitled to withhold an amount not exceeding the amount of any such tax or assessment or other duty from the benefit payable and shall apply the same in satisfaction of said tax or assessment or other duty.

**9.05&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nonguarantee of Employment.**

Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment between an Employer and any of its employees, or as a right of any such employee to continue in the employment of the Employer, or as a limitation of the right of an Employer to discharge any of its employees, with or without cause.

------

**9.06&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No Right to Benefits.**

No person, whether or not being a Member, shall have any claim, right or interest under the Plan except as provided by the terms of the Plan. In the event of a Member's termination of employment by an Employer, the resulting cessation of his Membership shall not be grounds for any damages or any increase in damages in any action brought against the Employer or any member of the PepsiCo Organization with respect to such termination.

**9.07&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Charges on Benefits and Recovery of Excess Payments.**

All benefits in respect of a Member under the Plan shall stand charged with and be subject to deductions therefrom of all sums in respect of losses to a member of the PepsiCo Organization or Employer or otherwise caused by misdemeanor of the Member and on production by the member of the PepsiCo Organization or Employer of proof satisfactory to the Vice President that any such loss ought to be made good by a Member. The relevant amount shall be deductible from the Member's benefits and be payable to the Employer or member of the PepsiCo Organization whose receipt shall be a valid discharge for the same.

Payments to, for or in connection with a Member that are made (as of a point in time and to any person or entity) may not exceed the exact amount of payments that are due as of such time and to such person, as provided by the terms of the Plan that specify the amounts that are payable, the time as of which they are payable, and the person to whom they are payable. Accordingly, any such excess payment or any other overpayment, premature payment or misdirected payment (one or more of which are hereafter referred to as an "Excess Payment") may not be retained by the party receiving it, but must be restored promptly to the Plan (and with appropriate interest to extent deemed by the Vice President to be advisable under all of the circumstances). In exchange for Member or beneficiary status hereunder (or for having any other direct or indirect right or claim of right from the Plan, or solely as a result of having received an Excess Payment), any party receiving an Excess Payment grants to the Plan the following nonexclusive rights –

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A constructive trust and first priority equitable lien on any payment that is received directly or indirectly from the Plan and that is, in whole or part, an Excess Payment (such trust and lien shall be equal to the amount of the Excess Payment increased by appropriate interest) or upon the proceeds or substitutes for such payment, and any transfer shall be subject to such constructive trust and equitable lien (including a transfer to a person, trust fund or entity).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The right to offset (as necessary to recover the Excess Payment with appropriate interest) other payments that are properly payable by the Plan to the recipient of the Excess Payment; however, reliance on this right is in the discretion of the Vice President, and the existence of an opportunity to apply it shall not diminish the Plan's rights under paragraph (1) above.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The right to bring any equitable or legal action or proceeding with respect to the enforcement of any rights in this Section in any court of competent jurisdiction as the Plan may elect, and following receipt of an Excess Payment the Member hereby submits to each such jurisdiction, waiving any and all rights that may correspond to such party's present or future residence.

Any party receiving an Excess Payment shall promptly take all actions requested by the Vice President that are in furtherance of the Plan's recovery of the Excess Payment with appropriate interest. In all cases, this subsection shall maximize the rights of the Plan to recover improper payments and shall not restrict the rights of the Plan in any way, including with respect to any improper payment that is not addressed above. In addition, equitable or legal principles that might impair the Plan's right of recovery of an Excess Payment with appropriate interest shall not apply (including the common fund doctrine and any requirement that funds not be commingled or dissipated in order to be recovered). For purposes of this subsection and the recovery of Excess Payments, "appropriate interest" shall mean a rate of interest (and a period for compounding) that is determined by the Vice President, in his sole discretion, to be reasonable at the time and sufficient to avoid enrichment of the recipient at the expense of the Plan.

**9.08&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prohibited Misconduct.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the Vice President determines that a Member has engaged in Prohibited Misconduct at any time prior to the second anniversary of his termination of employment with the PepsiCo Organization, the Member shall forfeit all Pay Credits and Interest Credits (whether paid previously, being paid currently or payable in the future), and his PIRP-DC Account shall be adjusted to reflect such forfeiture and previously paid Pay Credits and Interest Credits shall be recovered. Section 5.02 shall not be construed to reduce or impair the forfeiture rights provided by this Section 9.08, but the Vice President shall have the authority to reduce the forfeitures that would apply under this Section to the extent necessary to avoid an inappropriate duplication (determined in the Vice President's sole discretion) of the forfeitures applicable under Section 5.02. As a condition to Membership in this Plan, each Member agrees to this and each Member agrees to repay PepsiCo the amounts it seeks to recover under this Section 9.08.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any of the following activities engaged in, directly or indirectly, by a Member shall constitute Prohibited Misconduct:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The Member accepting any employment, assignment, position or responsibility, or acquiring any ownership interest, which involves the Member's "Participation" (as defined below) in a business entity that markets, sells, distributes or produces "Covered Products" (as defined below), unless such business entity makes retail sales or consumes Covered Products without in any way competing with the PepsiCo Organization.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The Member, directly or indirectly (including through someone else acting on the Member's recommendation, suggestion, identification or advice), soliciting any PepsiCo Organization employee to leave the PepsiCo Organization's employment or to accept any position with any other entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The Member using or disclosing to anyone any confidential information regarding the PepsiCo Organization other than as necessary in his position with the PepsiCo Organization. Such confidential information shall include all non-public information the Member acquired as a result of his positions with the PepsiCo Organization, which might be of any value to a competitor of the PepsiCo Organization, or which might cause any economic loss or substantial embarrassment to the PepsiCo Organization or its customers, bottlers, distributors or suppliers if used or disclosed. Examples of such confidential information include non-public information about the PepsiCo Organization's customers, suppliers, distributors and potential acquisition targets; its business operations and structure; its product lines, formulas and pricing; its processes, machines and inventions; its research and know-how; its financial data; and its plans and strategies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The Member engaging in any acts that are considered to be contrary to the PepsiCo Organization's best interests, including violating the Corporation's Code of Conduct, engaging in unlawful trading in the securities of the Corporation or of any other company based on information gained as a result of his employment with the PepsiCo Organization, or engaging in any other activity which constitutes gross misconduct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) The Member engaging in any activity that constitutes fraud.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or in any other confidentiality provision to which the Participant may be subject as a result of the Member's employment with the Company, nothing shall prohibit the Member from, without notice to the Company, communicating with government agencies, providing information to government agencies, participating in government agency investigations, filing a complaint with government agencies, or testifying in government agency proceedings concerning any possible legal violations or from receiving any monetary award for information provided to a government agency. The Corporation nonetheless asserts and does not waive its attorney-client privilege over any information appropriately protected by the privilege. Further, notwithstanding any confidentiality provision to which the Participant may be subject, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act, an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected

------

violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

For purposes of this subsection, "Participation" shall be construed broadly to include: (i) serving as a director, officer, employee, consultant or contractor with respect to such a business entity; (ii) providing input, advice, guidance or suggestions to such a business entity; or (iii) providing a recommendation or testimonial on behalf of such a business entity or one or more products it produces. For purposes of this subsection, "Covered Products" shall mean any product that falls into one or more of the following categories, so long as the PepsiCo Organization is producing, marketing, selling or licensing such product anywhere in the world – in-home and commercial beverage systems, carbon dioxide gas cylinders, carbon dioxide gas refills, consumables, and ready-to-drink beverages, including without limitation, carbonated soft drinks, tea, water, juices, juice drinks, juice products sports drinks, coffee drinks, alcoholic beverages, and energy drinks; dairy products; snacks, including salty snacks, fruit and vegetable snacks, dips and spreads, sweet snacks, meat snacks, granola, nutrition and cereal bars, and cookies; hot cereals and ready-to-eat cereals; pancake mixes and pancake syrup; grain-based food products; pasta products; sports performance nutrition products, including without limitation, energy, protein, carbohydrate, nutrition and meal replacement chews, bars, powders, gels, drinks or drink mixes; or any product or service that the Member had reason to know was under development by the PepsiCo Organization during the Member's employment with the PepsiCo Organization.

**9.09&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notices.**

Any notice which under the Plan is required to be given to or served upon the Plan shall be deemed to be sufficiently given to or served upon the Plan if it is in writing and delivered to the Vice President. In any case where under the Plan any notice shall be required to be given to Members, it shall be sufficient if such notice is delivered to the Member's last known address on file in the records of the Employer or delivered to the Member pursuant to any other method (*e.g.*, electronically) that the Vice President determines is reasonably available to the Member.

**9.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Plan Documentation.**

Every Member shall on demand be entitled to a copy of the Plan.

**9.11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Currency of Payment.**

Payment of benefits under the Plan shall be made in United States dollars, or other "eligible currency," as approved by the Vice President. The amount otherwise payable in United States dollars would be converted to the selected currency using the exchange rate, based on the methodology approved by the Vice President from time to time.

------

**9.12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Governing Law.**

The Plan shall in all respects be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of New York and any applicable federal law as would be applied in cases that arise in the United States District Courts that sit in the State of New York.

**9.13&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exemption from ERISA.**

The Plan is intended to be exempt from the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), as a plan maintained outside of the United States primarily for the benefit of persons substantially all of whom are nonresident aliens of the United States. In order to preserve this exemption from ERISA, Active Membership in the Plan shall be limited to individuals who are nonresident aliens of the United States and whose assigned work locations are outside the United States, and it is intended that all permanent records and documentation relating to the administration of the Plan shall be kept at a location that is outside of the United States.

**9.14&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exemption from Section 409A.**

In order to permit this Plan to be completely exempt from United States Internal Revenue Code section 409A ("Section 409A"), this Plan shall be subject to the special operating rules and limitations in this Section 9.14, effective for any period to which Section 409A applies. It is the intent of the Plan that no Member who is a U.S. Person may in any way have their benefit from the Plan vest, increase or in any way be enhanced (collectively, a "Benefit Enhancement") as a result of their compensation or service while a U.S. Person. However, Interest Credits may be provided on the PIRP-DC Account of a Member who is a U.S. Person, but only to the extent the balance in the PIRP-DC Account is derived from Pay Credits that relate to Service completed while the Member was not a U.S. Person (and Interest Credits on such Pay Credits). Accordingly, no Member shall become entitled to a Benefit Enhancement with respect to a calendar year until it is determined, following the close of such year, that the Member was not a U.S. Person with respect to such year. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the calendar year a Member's benefit under this Plan is scheduled to commence, the Vice President may authorize a Benefit Enhancement for the calendar year of benefit commencement to the extent the Vice President determines satisfactorily in his discretion that the Member will not be a U.S. Person for such year. In other cases, the Member's benefit will commence under this Plan without any Benefit Enhancement related to the calendar year of commencement, and the Vice President may exercise his discretion to authorize making appropriate adjustments to the Member's benefit in the following year, but only if it is determined that the Member was not a U.S. Person in such calendar year of commencement. This Section 9.14 shall at all times be interpreted and applied in accordance with the overriding requirement that allocations, benefits and rights under the Plan must remain entirely exempt from Section 409A, and the Vice President shall have such unrestricted authority as is necessary to ensure that it is applied in accordance with this requirement. As a result, there is never a legally binding right (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a Plan benefit, Plan right or Benefit Enhancement that would be subject to 409A as nonqualified deferred compensation for a U.S. Person. Further, to ensure the

------

continuation of such exemption from Section 409A, the two preceding sentences shall be applied and given overriding effect notwithstanding any other provision or language in this Plan.

**9.15 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Electronic Signatures.** 

The words "signed," "signature," and words of like import in or related to this Plan or any other document or record to be signed in connection with or related to this Plan by the Corporation Vice President, Eligible Employee, Dependant, or any other individual shall be deemed to include electronic signatures and the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law.

**ARTICLE I – FOREWORD**

PepsiCo, Inc. (the "Company") established the PepsiCo Automatic Retirement Contribution Equalization Plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of employees of the PepsiCo Organization who receive Automatic Retirement Contributions under the PepsiCo Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan"), and whose Automatic Retirement Contributions are affected by certain Code limitations. In particular, the Plan is designed to benefit eligible employees whose Automatic Retirement Contributions under the Savings Plan are curtailed by the limitation on compensation under Code section 401(a)(17) or the limitation on annual additions under Code section 415, or who have any other reductions in Automatic Retirement Contributions as a result of the employee's deferrals under the PepsiCo Executive Income Deferral Program (the "EID Program).

The Plan was originally effective as of January 1, 2011. Also as of the beginning of the day on this date, the PBG Supplemental Savings Plan (the "PBG Plan") merged with and into this Plan. Appendix A of this Plan sets forth special provision applicable to amounts that were earned under the PBG Plan.

The Plan is amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2025.

At all times, the Plan is unfunded and unsecured for purposes of the Code and ERISA. The benefits of an executive are an obligation of that executive's individual employer. With respect to his or her employer, the executive has the rights of an unsecured general creditor.

------

**ARTICLE II – DEFINITIONS**

When used in this Plan, the following boldface terms shall have the meanings set forth below unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context:

**ARC Equalization Account; Account.**

The unfunded, notional account maintained for a Participant on the books of the Participant's Employer that indicates the dollar amount that, as of any time, is credited under the Plan for the benefit of the Participant. The balance in such account shall be determined by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may establish one or more subaccounts as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, and may also combine one or more subaccounts to the extent it deems separate subaccounts are not then needed for sound recordkeeping. Where appropriate, a reference to a Participant's Account shall include a reference to each applicable subaccount that has been established thereunder.

**Beneficiary.**

The person or persons (including a trust or trusts) properly designated by a Participant, as determined by the Recordkeeper, to receive the amounts credited to the Participant's ARC Equalization Account in the event of the Participant's death in accordance with Section 6.3(c).

**Code.**

The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

**Company.**

PepsiCo, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina, or its successor or successors.

**Distribution Valuation Date.**

The date as specified by the Plan Administrator from time to time as of which Participant ARC Equalization Accounts are valued for purposes of a distribution from a Participant's Account. Currently, the Distribution Valuation Date for a Participant is the month end

------

that occurs just after the event specified in Article VI that triggers the Participant's distribution. Accordingly, if the trigger event occurs on December 30 of a year, the current Distribution Valuation Date is December 31 of that year, and if the trigger event occurs on December 31 of a year, the current Distribution Valuation Date is January 31 of the following year. Any current Distribution Valuation Date may be changed by the Plan Administrator, provided that such change does not result in a change in when deferrals are paid out that is impermissible under Section 409A. Values are determined as of the close of a Distribution Valuation Date or, if such date is not a business day, as of the close of the preceding business day.

**EID Program.**

The PepsiCo Executive Income Deferral Program.

**Eligible Employee.**

An Employee who is eligible to participate actively in the Plan in accordance with Section 3.1. An Employee's status as an Eligible Employee shall be determined separately with respect to each payroll date.

**Employee.**

An individual who qualifies as an "Employee" as that term is defined in the Savings Plan.

**Employer.**

An entity that qualifies as an "Employer" as that term is defined in the Savings Plan.

**ERISA.**

Public Law No. 93-406, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time.

------

**Equalized Automatic Retirement Contribution.**

The contributions made to the Plan pursuant to Section 4.1.

**Guiding Principles Regarding Benefit Plan Committee Appointments.**

The guiding principles as set forth in Appendix B to be applied by the Chairs of the PAC and PIC when selecting the members of the PAC and PIC.

**Key Employee.**

The individuals identified in accordance with the following paragraphs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>In General</u>. Any Participant who at any time during the applicable year is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)An officer of any member of the PepsiCo Organization having annual compensation greater than $215,000 (as adjusted for the applicable year under Code Section 416(i)(1));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)A five-percent owner of any member of the PepsiCo Organization; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)A one-percent owner of any member of the PepsiCo Organization having annual compensation of more than $150,000.

For purposes of subsection (a) above, no more than 50 employees identified in the order of their annual compensation shall be treated as officers. For purposes of this Section, annual compensation means compensation as defined in Treasury Regulation section 1.415(c)-2(a), without regard to Treasury Regulation sections 1.415(c)-2(d), 1.415(c)-2(e), and 1.415(c)-2(g). The Plan Administrator shall determine who is a Key Employee in accordance with Code section 416(i) (provided, that Code section 416(i)(5) shall not apply in making such determination), and provided further than the applicable year shall be determined in accordance with Section 409A and that any modification or clarification of the foregoing definition that applies under Section 409A shall be taken into account (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.419A-1(i), and giving effect to the default rules that apply under such regulation for determining the minimum number of a service recipient's specified employees).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Applicable Year</u>. The Plan Administrator shall determine Key Employees effective as of the last day of each calendar year, based on compensation for such year, and such designation shall be effective for purposes of this Plan for the twelve-month period commencing on April 1st of the next following calendar year (*e.g.*, the Key Employee determination by the Plan Administrator as of December 31, 2010 shall apply to the period from April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Rule of Administrative Convenience</u>. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator shall apply the following rule of administrative convenience for determining Key Employees for purposes of complying with the six-month payment delay that is required under Section 409A of the Code with respect to such employees:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)From January 1, 2011 until March 31, 2011, an employee shall be a Key Employee (subject to paragraph (3) below) if he was classified as at least a Band 4 or its equivalent on December 31, 2009. For this purpose, an employee shall be considered to be at least a Band 4 or its equivalent as of a date if the employee is classified as one of the following types of employees in the PepsiCo Organization on that date: (i) a Band 4 employee or above in a PepsiCo Business, (ii) a Level E7 employee or above in a PBG Business, or (iii) a Salary Grade 19 employee or above at a PAS Business. For purposes of this paragraph, "PAS Business" means each employer, division of an employer or other organizational subdivision of an employer that the Company classifies as part of the PAS business; "PBG Business" means each employer, division of an employer or other organizational subdivision of an employer that the Company classifies as part of the PBG business; and "PepsiCo Business" means

each employer, division of an employer or other organizational subdivision of an employer that the Company classifies as part of the PepsiCo business.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)For the twelve-month period that begins on April 1, 2011, and for each twelve-month period that begins on April 1 in subsequent years, an employee shall be a Key Employee (subject to paragraph (3) below) if the employee was an employee of the PepsiCo Organization who was classified as Band 4 (or Leadership Group 6) or above on the December 31 that immediately precedes such April 1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2) above, an employee shall be a Key Employee for the 12-month period that begins on any April 1, if as of the preceding December 31 the employee would be a Key Employee under the provisions of subsection (a) above. If the preceding sentence and the methods for identifying Key Employees set forth in paragraph (1) or (2) above, taken together, would result in more than 200 individuals being counted as Key Employees as of any December 31 determination date, then the number of individuals treated as Key Employees pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2), who are not described in the first sentence of this paragraph (3), shall be reduced to 200 by eliminating from consideration those employees otherwise added by such subparagraph in order of their base compensation, from the lowest base compensation to the highest.

The method for identifying Key Employees set forth in this subsection (c) is intended to be an alternative method of identifying Key Employees under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(i)(5), and it shall be interpreted and applied consistently with the rules applicable to such alternative arrangements under this regulatory provision.

**Section 409A.**

Section 409A of the Code.

**Separation from Service.**

A Participant's separation from service with the PepsiCo Organization, within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i). The term may also be used as a verb (i.e., "Separates from Service") with no change in meaning. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant's transfer to an entity owned 20% or more by the Company will not constitute a Separation of Service to the extent permitted by Section 409A. The

------

following principles shall generally apply in determining when a Separation from Service occurs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)A Participant separates from service with the Company if the Employee has a termination of employment with the Company other than for death. Whether a termination of employment has occurred is determined based on whether the facts and circumstances indicate that the Company and the Employee reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services the Employee would perform after such date (as an employee or independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than 20 percent of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period in which the Employee provided services to the Company if the Employee has been providing services for less than 36 months).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)An Employee will not be deemed to have experienced a Separation from Service if such Employee is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence, to the extent such leave does not exceed a period of six months or, if longer, such longer period of time during which a right to re-employment is protected by either statute or contract. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the individual does not retain a right to re-employment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship is deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such six-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a leave of absence is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months, where such impairment causes the Employee to be unable to perform the duties of his or her position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a 29-month period of absence shall be substituted for such six-month period. In the case of such a disability leave of absence, a Separation from Service shall occur on the earlier of the date that the Participant has reached 29 continuous months of

------

disability leave of absence or the date that the Participant formally resigns his employment with the Employer and the PepsiCo Organization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)If an Employee provides services both an as employee and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, the services provided as a Director are generally not taken into account in determining whether the Employee has Separated from Service as an Employee for purposes of the Plan, in accordance with final regulations under Section 409A.

**United States.**

Any of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

**Valuation Date.**

------

**ARTICLE III – ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION**

**3.1Eligibility to Participate.**

Subject to Section 3.4, an Employee shall be eligible to participate actively in the Plan as of any payroll date if he or she is an ARC Eligible Employee under the Savings Plan and his or her Automatic Retirement Contributions for such payroll date under the Savings Plan are: (i) reduced by application of a limitation set forth in either Code section 401(a)(17) or 415; (ii) otherwise reduced as a result of the Employee's deferrals under the EID Program; or (iii) affected as described in both (i) and (ii). In the case of an Employee who becomes eligible to participate in the Plan as a result of Code section 415, such eligibility will begin as soon as administratively practicable after the determination of the application of the limit with retroactive participation to the payroll date in which the Code Section 415 limit was reached.

**3.2Commencement of Participation.**

An Eligible Employee shall become a Participant in this Plan as of the first payroll date an Equalized Automatic Retirement Contribution is allocated to his or her Account as provided in Section 5.1.

**3.3Termination of Participation.**

An Employee who becomes a Participant under the Plan shall cease to be a Participant on the date his or her Account is fully distributed as provided in Article VI.

**3.4Agreements Not to Participate.**

The eligibility provisions of this Article III will be subject to any other documents that constitute part of an agreement between the Company and an Employee that limits or bars the Employee's participation in this Plan. An agreement that is otherwise described in the preceding sentence shall not limit or bar an Employee's participation in this Plan for the period before the earliest date such agreement may apply without violating the restrictions on elections under Section 409A.

------

**ARTICLE IV – CONTRIBUTIONS**

**4.1Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions.**

As of each payroll date for which an Employee is an Eligible Employee, the Employer shall make an Equalized Automatic Retirement Contribution to the ARC Equalization Account of such Eligible Employee. Subject to Section 4.2 below, the amount of each Equalized Automatic Retirement Contribution shall equal –

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Eligible Employee's Total Automatic Retirement Contribution for such payroll date, <u>reduced by</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The amount of the Automatic Retirement Contribution to which the Eligible Employee is entitled under the Savings Plan for the same payroll date.

An Eligible Employee's "Total Automatic Retirement Contribution" is determined in the same way the Eligible Employee's Automatic Retirement Contribution is required to be determined as of such payroll date under the Savings Plan, but with the following modifications: (i) the limitation on compensation imposed by Code section 401(a)(17), as otherwise applied by the terms of the Savings Plan, shall be disregarded, (ii) subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.1, the limitation on annual additions imposed by Code section 415, as otherwise applied by the terms of the Savings Plan, shall be disregarded, and (iii) any exclusion, which is then in effect of amounts deferred by the Eligible Employee under the EID Program from his or her Eligible Pay under the Savings Plan shall be disregarded. The three modifications in the preceding sentence shall be applied so that they do not result in any duplication (*e.g.*, the provisions of clause (iii) above shall not result in an amount of Total Automatic Retirement Contribution to the extent such amount is provided by clause (ii) above). Notwithstanding clause (ii) above, the limitation imposed by Code section 415 shall not be disregarded to the extent necessary to ensure that no amount of Equalized Automatic Retirement Contribution is credited to the ARC Equalization Account of an Eligible Employee as a result of the Eligible Employee having Code section 415 excess annual additions to the Savings Plan that are attributable to After Tax Contributions described in Article EE of the Savings Plan.

------

**4.2Maximum Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An Eligible Employee's Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions with respect to Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2023 shall not be limited by the Code section 401(a)(17) limit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For Plan Years beginning prior to January 1, 2023, an Eligible Employee ceased having Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions made to his or her ARC Equalization Account during any Plan Year as necessary to ensure that the sum of his or her Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions under this Plan and Automatic Retirement Contributions under the Savings Plan (collectively, the "Aggregate Employer Contributions") equal or do not exceed the Code section 401(a)(17) limit in effect for such Plan Year. An Eligible Employee's Equalized Automatic Retirement Contribution for a payroll date were reduced to comply with this Section by taking into account all Aggregate Employer Contributions, payable for all prior payroll dates in the Plan Year, and Automatic Retirement Contributions under the Savings Plan payable for the current payroll date.

**4.3Offsets.**

Notwithstanding an Eligible Employee's rights under Section 4.1 (or a Participant's rights under Articles V and VI), the Company may reduce the amount of any payment or benefit that is or would become payable to or on behalf of an Eligible Employee or Participant by the amount of any obligation of the Eligible Employee or Participant to the Company that is or becomes due and payable, provided that (a) the obligation of the Eligible Employee or Participant to the Company was incurred during the employment relationship, (b) the reduction may not exceed the amount allowed under Section 409A and Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(xiii), and (c) the reduction is made at the same time and in the same amount as the obligation otherwise would have been due and collectable from the Employee or Participant. Consistent with this, appropriate reductions may be made in (i) the Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions that otherwise would be provided to the Eligible Employee under Section 4.1, (ii) the balance in the Participant's Account under Article V, or (iii) the Participant's distributions under Article

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VI. The application of this Section 4.2 is solely in the independent discretion of the Company.

------

**ARTICLE V – PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS**

**5.1Accounting for Participants' Interests.**

Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions shall be credited to a Participant's ARC Equalization Account at the same time that the Participant's Automatic Retirement Contributions under the Savings Plan are required to be allocated to the Participant's Profit-Sharing Account under the Savings Plan (or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter). A Participant's ARC Equalization Account is a bookkeeping device to track the notional value of the Participant's Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions (and his or her Employer's liability therefor). No assets shall be reserved or segregated in connection with any ARC Equalization Account, and no ARC Equalization Account shall be funded, insured or otherwise secured.

**5.2Investment Earnings and Losses.**

As of each Valuation Date, a Participant's ARC Equalization Account shall be credited with earnings and gains (and shall be debited for expenses and losses) determined as if the amounts credited to his or her ARC Equalization Account had actually been invested as directed by the Participant in accordance with this Article. The Plan provides only for "phantom investments," and therefore such earnings, gains, expenses and losses are hypothetical and not actual. However, they shall be applied to measure the value of a Participant's ARC Equalization Account and the amount of his or her Employer's liability to make deferred payments to or on behalf of the Participant.

**5.3Investment of Accounts.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>In General</u>. A Participant's Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions shall be invested on a phantom basis among the investment options that are available for Automatic Retirement Contributions under the Savings Plan from time to time, unless otherwise determined by the PIC. The PIC may discontinue any phantom investment option with respect to some or all Accounts, and it may provide rules for transferring a Participant's phantom investment from the discontinued option to a specified replacement option (unless the Participant

------

selects another replacement option in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator for this purpose).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Investment and Reinvestment Elections</u>. The Participant's Equalized Automatic Retirement Contribution for a payroll date shall be invested on a phantom basis in the investment options and in the proportions specified by the Participant in accordance with rules applied by the Plan Administrator. Such rules shall be based on those that apply for purposes of Automatic Retirement Contributions under the Savings Plan as of such payroll date, except as otherwise provided for by the Plan Administrator. To the extent a Participant does not specify an investment option for an Equalized Automatic Retirement Contribution, the rules for default investments that are in effect under the Savings Plan as of such payment date shall apply. In addition, a Participant shall have the same right to change the investment of the Participant's future Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions and to reinvest the balance of his or her ARC Equalization Account as the Participant has for his or her Automatic Retirement Contributions and the account or subaccount that holds such contributions under the Savings Plan, except as otherwise provided for by the Plan Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Phantom Investment Options</u>. The Plan's phantom investment options shall be described in materials provided to Participants from time to time. Any of these phantom investment options shall be administered under procedures implemented from time to time by the Plan Administrator. Unless otherwise specified in these materials or procedures, in the case of any such phantom investment option that is based on a unitized fund, an amount deferred or transferred into such option is converted to phantom units in the applicable fund of equivalent value by dividing such amount by the NAV of a unit in such fund on the Valuation Date as of which the amount is treated as invested in this option by the Plan Administrator. Thereafter, a Participant's interest in each such phantom option is valued as of a Valuation Date (or a Distribution Valuation Date) by multiplying the

------

number of phantom units credited to his or her ARC Equalization Account on such date by the NAV of a unit in such fund on such date.

**5.4Vesting.**

A Participant shall be fully vested in, and have a nonforfeitable right to, the Participant's ARC Equalization Account at the time the Participant becomes fully vested in his or her ARC Account under the Savings Plan. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the following special rules shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The crediting of Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions pursuant to this Plan (including the crediting of related earnings on such credits) shall not in any way exempt the Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions and related earnings from the full application of the Company's clawback and other forfeiture and recovery policies ("Clawback Policies"), as they are in effect from time to time. Accordingly, a Participant's Account shall be subject to forfeiture (and if paid out, to recovery) to the extent determined to be appropriate by the Plan Administrator to give full effect to these Clawback Policies. Section 5.5 shall not be construed to reduce or impair the forfeiture and recovery rights provided by this Section 5.4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If a Participant's period of Service (as determined under the Savings Plan for purposes of vesting) would extend beyond the Participant's Separation from Service date because of a leave of absence, the Plan Administrator may provide for determining the Participant's nonforfeitable right to his or her ARC Equalization Account by projecting the Participant's total period of Plan Service to include some or all of the Participant's leave of absence period.

**5.5Prohibited Misconduct.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the Plan Administrator determines that a Participant has engaged in Prohibited Misconduct at any time prior to the second anniversary of his or her Separation from Service, the Participant shall forfeit all Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions and any net earnings or gains (whether paid

------

previously, being paid currently or payable in the future), and his or her ARC Equalization Account shall be adjusted to reflect such forfeiture and previously paid Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions and net earnings or gains shall be recovered. Section 5.4 shall not be construed to reduce or impair the forfeiture rights provided by this Section 5.5, but the Plan Administrator shall have the authority to reduce the forfeitures that would apply under this Section to the extent necessary to avoid an inappropriate duplication (determined in the Plan Administrator's sole discretion) of the forfeitures applicable under Section 5.4(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Any of the following activities engaged in, directly or indirectly, by a Participant shall constitute Prohibited Misconduct:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)The Participant accepting any employment, assignment, position or responsibility, or acquiring any ownership interest, which involves the Participant's "Participation" (as defined below) in a business entity that markets, sells, distributes or produces "Covered Products" (as defined below), unless such business entity makes retail sales or consumes Covered Products without in any way competing with the PepsiCo Organization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)The Participant, directly or indirectly (including through someone else acting on the Participant's recommendation, suggestion, identification or advice), soliciting any PepsiCo Organization employee to leave the PepsiCo Organization's employment or to accept any position with any other entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)The Participant using or disclosing to anyone any confidential information regarding the PepsiCo Organization other than as necessary in his or her position with the PepsiCo Organization. Such confidential information shall include all non-public information the Participant acquired as a result of his or her positions with the PepsiCo Organization, which might be of any value to a competitor of the PepsiCo Organization, or which might cause any economic loss or substantial embarrassment to the

------

PepsiCo Organization or its customers, bottlers, distributors or suppliers if used or disclosed. Examples of such confidential information include non-public information about the PepsiCo Organization's customers, suppliers, distributors and potential acquisition targets; its business operations and structure; its product lines, formulas and pricing; its processes, machines and inventions; its research and know-how; its financial data; and its plans and strategies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)The Participant engaging in any acts that are considered to be contrary to the PepsiCo Organization's best interests, including violating the Company's Code of Conduct, engaging in unlawful trading in the securities of the Company or of any other company based on information gained as a result of his or her employment with the PepsiCo Organization, or engaging in any other activity which constitutes gross misconduct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)The Participant engaging in any activity that constitutes fraud.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or in any other confidentiality provision to which the Participant may be subject as a result of the Participant's employment with the Company, nothing shall prohibit the Participant from, without notice to the Company, communicating with government agencies, providing information to government agencies, participating in government agency investigations, filing a complaint with government agencies, or testifying in government agency proceedings concerning any possible legal violations or from receiving any monetary award for information provided to a government agency. The Company nonetheless asserts and does not waive its attorney-client privilege over any information appropriately protected by the privilege. Further, notwithstanding any confidentiality provision to which the Participant may be subject, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act, an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii)

------

solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

For purposes of this subsection, "Participation" shall be construed broadly to include: (i) serving as a director, officer, employee, consultant or contractor with respect to such a business entity; (ii) providing input, advice, guidance or suggestions to such a business entity; or (iii) providing a recommendation or testimonial on behalf of such a business entity or one or more products it produces. For purposes of this subsection, "Covered Products" shall mean any product that falls into one or more of the following categories, so long as the PepsiCo Organization is producing, marketing, selling or licensing such product anywhere in the world: in-home and commercial beverage systems, carbon dioxide gas cylinders, carbon dioxide gas refills, consumables, and ready-to-drink beverages, including without limitation, carbonated soft drinks, tea, water, juices, juice drinks, juice products sports drinks, coffee drinks, alcoholic beverages, and energy drinks; dairy products; snacks, including salty snacks, fruit and vegetable snacks, dips and spreads, sweet snacks, meat snacks, granola, nutrition and cereal bars, and cookies; hot cereals and ready-to-eat cereals; pancake mixes and pancake syrup; grain-based food products; pasta products; sports performance nutrition products, including without limitation, energy, protein, carbohydrate, nutrition and meal replacement chews, bars, powders, gels, drinks or drink mixes; or any product or service that the Participant had reason to know was under development by the PepsiCo Organization during the Participant's employment with the PepsiCo Organization.

------

**ARTICLE VI – PAYMENT OF BENEFITS**

**6.1Distribution Rules Generally.**

A Participant's ARC Equalization Account shall be distributed based upon first to occur of a Participant's Separation from Service or death, as provided in Sections 6.2 and 6.3, respectively. If a Participant becomes re-employed and entitled to another distribution after the occurrence of one of the foregoing distribution events, the rules of this Article shall apply separately to the balance in the Participant's ARC Equalization Account that relates to the later period of employment. In no event shall any portion of a Participant's ARC Equalization Account be distributed earlier or later than is allowed under Section 409A. All distributions shall be made in a single lump sum cash payment.

**6.2Distributions Upon Separation from Service.**

If a Participant's ARC Equalization Account becomes distributable based upon his or her Separation from Service, such distribution shall be made in a single lump sum payment on the first day of the month that immediately follows the Participant's Distribution Valuation Date, subject to Section 6.4 below (Delay for Key Employees).

**6.3Distributions Upon Death.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If a Participant's ARC Equalization Account becomes distributable based upon the Participant's death, such distribution shall be distributed in a single lump sum payment on the first day of the month that immediately follows the Participant's Distribution Valuation Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Amounts paid following a Participant's death shall be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary; provided, however, that if no designation is in effect at the time of a Participant's death (as determined by the Plan Administrator), or if all persons designated as Beneficiaries have predeceased the Participant, then the payments to be made pursuant to this Section shall be distributed to the Participant's Eligible Spouse or Eligible Domestic Partner (each as defined below), if living; otherwise in equal shares to any surviving children of the Participant; otherwise to the Participant's estate. The Plan Administrator shall determine a Participant's

------

"Eligible Spouse" based on the state or local law where the Participant has his or her primary residence at the time of death, and shall determine a Participant's "Eligible Domestic Partner" under the definition and rules that apply to death benefits under the PepsiCo Savings Plan. The Plan Administrator is authorized to make any applicable inquires and to request any documents, certificates or other information that it deems necessary or appropriate in order to make the above determinations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)A Participant may designate (in a manner authorized by the Plan Administrator) one or more Beneficiaries to receive payment, in the event of his or her death, of the amounts credited to his or her ARC Equalization Account; provided that, to be effective, any Beneficiary designation must be in writing, signed by the Participant, and must meet such other standards (including any requirement for spousal consent) that the Plan Administrator or Recordkeeper shall require from time to time. The Beneficiary designation must also be filed with the Recordkeeper prior to the Participant's death, as determined by the Plan Administrator. An incomplete Beneficiary designation, as determined by the Recordkeeper or Plan Administrator, shall be void and of no effect. A Beneficiary designation of an individual by name remains in effect regardless of any change in the designated individual's relationship to the Participant. Any Beneficiary designation submitted to the Recordkeeper that only specifies a Beneficiary by relationship shall not be considered an effective Beneficiary designation and shall be void and of no effect. If more than one Beneficiary is specified and the Participant fails to indicate the respective percentage applicable to two or more Beneficiaries, then each Beneficiary for whom a percentage is not designated will be entitled to an equal share of the portion of the ARC Equalization Account (if any) for which percentages have not been designated. At any time, a Participant may change a Beneficiary designation for his or her ARC Equalization Account in a writing that is signed by the Participant and filed with the Recordkeeper prior to the Participant's death, and that meets such other standards as the Plan Administrator shall require from time to time. An individual who is otherwise a Beneficiary with respect to a Participant's ARC Equalization Account ceases to

------

be a Beneficiary when all payments have been made from the ARC Equalization Account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Any claim to be paid any amounts standing to the credit of a Participant in connection with the Participant's death must be received by the Plan Administrator at least 14 days before any such amount is actually distributed by the Plan. Any claim received thereafter is untimely, and it shall be unenforceable against the Plan, the Company, the Plan Administrator or any other party acting for one or more of them.

**6.4Delay for Key Employees.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If the Participant is classified as a Key Employee at the time of the Participant's Separation from Service (or at such other time for determining Key Employee status as may apply under Section 409A), then the time of payment based on Separation from Service shall be determined under the provisions of Section 6.2 as if the Distribution Valuation Date were the Valuation Date that is six months after the Distribution Valuation Date that would otherwise apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, distribution in accordance with Section 6.3 or Section 6.4 shall be given priority over distribution in accordance with this Section if it would result in an earlier commencement date of the Participant's distribution.

**6.5Valuation.**

In determining the amount of any individual distribution pursuant to this Article, the Participant's ARC Equalization Account shall continue to be credited with earnings and gains (and debited for expenses and losses) as specified in Article V until the Valuation Date that is used in determining the amount of the distribution under this Article.

**6.6Actual Payment Date.**

An amount payable on a date specified in this Article VI shall be paid no later than the later of (a) the end of the calendar year in which the specified date occurs, or (b) the 15th day of the third calendar month following such specified date. In no event shall the

------

Participant (or Beneficiary) be permitted to designate the taxable year of the payment. The payment date may be delayed further in accordance with one or more applicable special rules under Section 409A that permit such later payment (for example, in the event of a bona fide dispute that meets the requirements of Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(g)).

------

**ARTICLE VII – PLAN ADMINISTRATION**

**7.1Plan Administrator.**

The Plan Administrator is responsible for the administration of the Plan. The Plan Administrator has the authority to name one or more delegates to carry out certain responsibilities hereunder, as specified in the definition of Plan Administrator. Any such delegation shall state the scope of responsibilities being delegated and is subject to Section 7.06 below.

**7.2Action.**

Action by the Plan Administrator may be taken in accordance with procedures that the Plan Administrator adopts from time to time or that the Company's Law Department determines are legally permissible.

**7.3Powers of the Plan Administrator.**

The Plan Administrator shall administer and manage the Plan and shall have (and shall be permitted to delegate) all powers necessary to accomplish that purpose, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)To exercise its discretionary authority to construe, interpret, and administer this Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)To exercise its discretionary authority to make all decisions regarding eligibility, participation and deferrals, to make allocations and determinations required by this Plan, and to maintain records regarding Participants' Accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)To compute and certify to the Employers the amount and kinds of payments to Participants or their Beneficiaries, and to determine the time and manner in which such payments are to be paid;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)To authorize all disbursements by the Employer pursuant to this Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)To maintain (or cause to be maintained) all the necessary records for administration of this Plan;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)To make and publish such rules for the regulation of this Plan as are not inconsistent with the terms hereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)To delegate to other individuals or entities from time to time the performance of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)To establish or to change the phantom investment options or arrangements under Article V;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)To hire agents, accountants, actuaries, consultants and legal counsel to assist in operating and administering the Plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan except Section 7.6 (relating to compliance with Section 409A), the Plan Administrator or the Recordkeeper may take any action the Plan Administrator deems is necessary to assure compliance with any policy of the Company respecting insider trading as may be in effect from time to time. Such actions may include altering the effective date of intra- fund transfers or the distribution date of Participant's Accounts. Any such actions shall alter the normal operation of the Plan to the minimum extent necessary.

The Plan Administrator has the exclusive and discretionary authority to construe and to interpret the Plan, to decide all questions of eligibility for benefits, to determine the amount and manner of payment of such benefits and to make any determinations that are contemplated by (or permissible under) the terms of this Plan, and its decisions on such matters will be final and conclusive on all parties. Any such decision or determination shall be made in the absolute and unrestricted discretion of the Plan Administrator, even if (1) such discretion is not expressly granted by the Plan provisions in question, or (2) a determination is not expressly called for by the Plan provisions in question, and even though other Plan provisions expressly grant discretion or call for a determination. As a result, benefits under this Plan will be paid only if the Plan Administrator decides in its discretion that the applicant is entitled to them. In the event of a review by a court, arbitrator or any other tribunal, any exercise of the Plan Administrator's discretionary authority shall not be disturbed unless it is clearly shown to be arbitrary and capricious.

------

**7.4Compensation, Indemnity and Liability.**

The Plan Administrator will serve without bond and without compensation for services hereunder. All expenses of the Plan and the Plan Administrator will be paid by the Employers. To the extent deemed appropriate by the Plan Administrator, any such expense may be charged against specific Participant Accounts, thereby reducing the obligation of the Employers. No member of the PAC (which serves as the Plan Administrator) or PIC, and no individual acting as the delegate of the PAC or PIC, shall be liable for any act or omission of any other member or individual, nor for any act or omission on his or her own part, excepting his or her own willful misconduct. The Employers (other than the Company) will indemnify and hold harmless each member of the PAC and PIC and any employee of the Company (or a Company affiliate, if recognized as an affiliate for this purpose by the Plan Administrator) acting as the delegate of the PAC or PIC against any and all expenses and liabilities, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising in connection with this Plan out of his or her membership on the PAC or PIC (or his or her serving as the delegate of the PAC or PIC), excepting only expenses and liabilities arising out of his or her own willful misconduct or bad faith.

**7.5Withholding.**

The Employer shall withhold from amounts due under this Plan, any amount necessary to enable the Employer to remit to the appropriate government entity or entities on behalf of the Participant as may be required by the federal income tax provisions of the Code, by an applicable state's income tax provisions, and by an applicable city, county or municipality's earnings or income tax provisions. Further, the Employer shall withhold from the payroll of, or collect from, a Participant the amount necessary to remit on behalf of the Participant any Social Security or Medicare taxes which may be required with respect to amounts deferred or accrued by a Participant hereunder, as determined by the Employer. In addition, to the extent required by Section 409A, amounts deferred under this Plan shall be reported on each Participant's Form W-2 for the applicable tax year, and any amounts that become taxable hereunder shall be reported as taxable wages on the

------

Participant's Form W-2 for the applicable tax year. All such reporting and withholding shall be performed based on the rules and procedures of Section 409A.

**7.6Conformance with Section 409A.**

At all times during each Plan Year, this Plan shall be operated in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A. In all cases, the provisions of this Section shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan that is not contained in this Section.

------

**ARTICLE VIII – CLAIMS PROCEDURE**

**8.1Claims for Benefits.**

If a Participant, Beneficiary or other person (hereafter, "Claimant") does not receive timely payment of any benefits which he or she believes are due and payable under the Plan, he or she may make a claim for benefits to the Plan Administrator. The claim for benefits must be in writing and addressed to the Plan Administrator. If the claim for benefits is denied, the Plan Administrator will notify the Claimant within 90 days after the Plan Administrator initially received the benefit claim. However, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, the Plan Administrator will furnish notice of the extension to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period and such extension may not exceed one additional, consecutive 90-day period. Any notice of a denial of benefits shall advise the Claimant of the basis for the denial, any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim, and the steps which the Claimant must take to appeal his or her claim for benefits.

**8.2Appeals of Denied Claims.**

Each Claimant whose claim for benefits has been denied may file a written appeal for a review of his or her claim by the Plan Administrator. The request for review must be filed by the Claimant within 60 days after he or she received the notice denying his or her claim. The decision of the Plan Administrator will be communicated to the Claimant within 60 days after receipt of a request for appeal. The notice shall set forth the basis for the Plan Administrator's decision. However, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the appeal, the Plan Administrator will furnish notice of

the extension to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial 60-day period and such extension may not exceed one additional, consecutive 60-day period. In no event shall the Plan Administrator's decision be rendered later than 120 days after receipt of a

request for appeal.

------

**8.3Limitations on Actions.**

Any claim filed under this Article VIII and any action filed in state or federal court by or on behalf of a former or current Employee, Participant, Beneficiary or any other individual, person or entity (collectively, a "Petitioner") for the alleged wrongful denial of Plan benefits or for the alleged interference with or violation of ERISA-protected rights must be brought within two years of the date the Petitioner's cause of action first accrues. For purposes of this subsection, a cause of action with respect to a Petitioner's benefits under the Plan shall be deemed to accrue not later than the earliest of (i) when the Petitioner has received the calculation of the benefits that are the subject of the claim or legal action (ii) the date identified to the Petitioner by the Plan Administrator on which payments shall commence, or (iii) when the Petitioner has actual or constructive knowledge of the facts that are the basis of his claim. For purposes of this subsection, a cause of action with respect to the alleged interference with ERISA-protected rights shall be deemed to accrue when the claimant has actual or constructive knowledge of the acts that are alleged to interfere with ERISA-protected rights. Failure to bring any such claim or cause of action within this two-year time frame shall preclude a Petitioner, or any representative of the Petitioner, from filing the claim or cause of action. Correspondence or other communications following the mandatory appeals process described in Section

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2 shall have no effect on this two-year time frame.

**8.4Restriction on Venue.**

Any claim or action filed in court or any other tribunal in connection with the Plan by or on behalf of a Petitioner (as defined in Section 8.3 above) shall only be brought or filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

------

**ARTICLE IX – AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION**

**9.1Amendment to the Plan.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Company, or its delegate, has the right in its sole discretion to amend this Plan in whole or in part at any time and in any manner, including the terms and conditions of Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions, the terms on which distributions are made, and the form and timing of distributions. However, except for mere clarifying amendments necessary to avoid an inappropriate windfall, no Plan amendment shall reduce the balance of a Participant's ARC Equalization Account as of the date such amendment is adopted. In addition, the Company shall have the limited right to amend the Plan at any time, retroactively or otherwise, in such respects and to such extent as may be necessary to fully qualify it under existing and applicable laws and regulations, and if and to the extent necessary to accomplish such purpose, may by such amendment decrease or otherwise affect benefits to which Participants may have already become entitled, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The Company's right to amend the Plan shall not be affected or limited in any way by a Participant's Separation from Service, death or disability. Prior practices by the Company or an Employer shall not diminish in any way the rights granted the Company under this Section. Also, it is expressly permissible for an amendment to affect less than all of the Participants covered by the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Any amendment shall be in writing and adopted by the Company or by any officer of the Company who has authority or who has been granted or delegated the authority to amend this Plan. An amendment or restatement of this Plan shall not affect the validity or scope of any grant or delegation of such authority, which shall instead be solely determined based upon the terms of the grant or delegation (as determined under applicable law). All Participants and Beneficiaries shall be bound by such amendment.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Any amendments made to the Plan shall be subject to any restrictions on amendment that are applicable to ensure continued compliance under Section 409A.

**9.2Termination of Plan.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)The Company expects to continue this Plan, but does not obligate itself to do so.

The Company reserves the right to discontinue and terminate the Plan at any time, in whole or in part, for any reason (including a change, or an impending change, in the tax laws of the United States or any State within the United States). Termination of the Plan will be binding on all Participants (and a partial termination shall be binding upon all affected Participants) and their Beneficiaries, but in no event may such termination reduce the amounts credited at that time to any Participant's ARC Equalization Account. If this Plan is terminated (in whole or in part), the termination resolution shall provide for how amounts theretofore credited to affected Participants' ARC Equalization Accounts will be distributed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)This Section is subject to the same restrictions related to compliance with Section 409A that apply to Section 9.1. In accordance with these restrictions, the Company intends to have the maximum discretionary authority to terminate the Plan and make distributions in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in Section 409A), and the maximum flexibility with respect to how and to what extent to carry this out following a Change in Control (as defined in Section 409A) as is permissible under Section 409A. The previous sentence contains the exclusive terms under which a distribution may be made in connection with any Change in Control with respect to deferrals made under this 409A Program.

------

**ARTICLE X – MISCELLANEOUS**

**10.1Limitation on Participant Rights.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>In General</u>. Participation in this Plan does not give any Participant any right or interest in this Plan or any assets of the Company or Employer, other than the unfunded and unsecured right to receive a Plan distribution determined and paid exactly in accordance with the Plan's terms as interpreted in the discretion of the Plan Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>No Employment Right</u>. Participation in this Plan does not give any Participant the right to be retained in the Employer's or Company's employ. Accordingly, the Company and Employer reserve the right to terminate the employment of any Participant without any liability for any claim against the Company or Employer under this Plan, except for a claim for the timely payment of any unpaid Plan distribution to the extent permitted by subsection (a) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Recovery of Excess Payments</u>: For the avoidance of doubt, it is noted that this Plan provides that payments to, for or in connection with a Participant that are made (as of a point in time and to any person or entity) may not exceed the exact amount of payments, if any, that are due as of the time and to the person, determined based on the terms of the Plan that specify the amounts that are payable, the time as of which they are payable, and the person to whom they are payable. Accordingly, any excess payment or any other kind of overpayment, premature payment or misdirected payment (each one or more than one of which are hereafter referred to as an "Excess Payment") may not be retained by the party receiving it, but must be restored promptly to the Plan (and with appropriate interest to extent deemed by the Plan Administrator to be necessary for a valid correction under Code section 409A or to be appropriate under all of the circumstances. In addition, it is clarified that, in exchange for Participant or Beneficiary status hereunder (or for having any other direct or indirect right or claim of right from the Plan, or solely as a result of having received an Excess Payment), any party receiving an Excess Payment automatically grants to the Plan the following nonexclusive rights –

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A constructive trust and first priority equitable lien on any payment that is received directly or indirectly from the Plan and that is, in whole or

------

part, an Excess Payment (such trust and lien shall be equal to the amount of the Excess Payment increased by appropriate interest) or upon the proceeds or substitutes for such payment, and any transfer shall be subject to such constructive trust and equitable lien (including one or more transfers to one or more persons, trusts or entities).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The right to offset (as necessary to recover the Excess Payment with appropriate interest) other payments that are properly payable by the Plan to the recipient of the Excess Payment; however, reliance on this right is in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, with due consideration to any limitations on offset that the Plan Administrator determines would apply under Code section 409A, and therefore the existence of an opportunity to apply the right of offset shall not diminish the Plan's rights under paragraph (1) above or (3) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The right to bring any equitable or legal action or proceeding with respect to the enforcement of any rights in this Section in any court of competent jurisdiction as the Plan Administrator may elect, and following receipt of an Excess Payment the Participant or other person or entity hereby submits to such jurisdiction, waiving any and all rights that may correspond to such party's present or future residence or location.

Any party receiving an Excess Payment shall promptly take all actions requested by the Plan Administrator that are in furtherance of the Plan's recovery of the Excess Payment with appropriate interest. In all cases, this subsection shall maximize the rights of the Plan to recover improper payments and shall not restrict the rights of the Plan in any way, including with respect to any improper payment that is not addressed above. In addition, equitable or legal principles that might impair the Plan's right of recovery of an Excess Payment with appropriate interest shall not apply (including the common fund doctrine and any requirement that funds not be commingled or dissipated in order to be recovered). For purposes of this subsection and the recovery of Excess Payments, "appropriate interest" shall mean a rate of interest (and a period for compounding) that is determined by the

------

Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, to be – (i) reasonable at the time, and (ii) sufficient to accomplish a valid correction under Code section 409A or to avoid enrichment of the recipient at the expense of the Plan (or both).

**10.2Unfunded Obligation of Individual Employer.**

The benefits provided by this Plan are unfunded. All amounts payable under this Plan to Participants are paid from the general assets of the Participant's individual Employer. Nothing contained in this Plan requires the Company or Employer to set aside or hold in trust any amounts or assets for the purpose of paying benefits to Participants. Neither a Participant, Beneficiary, nor any other person shall have any property interest, legal or equitable, in any specific Employer asset. This Plan creates only a contractual obligation on the part of a Participant's individual Employer, and the Participant has the status of a general unsecured creditor of his or her Employer with respect to benefits granted hereunder. Such a Participant shall not have any preference or priority over, the rights of any other unsecured general creditor of the Employer. No other Employer guarantees or shares such obligation, and no other Employer shall have any liability to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary. In the event a Participant transfers from the employment of one Employer to another, the former Employer shall transfer the liability for benefits made while the Participant was employed by that Employer to the new Employer (and the books of both Employers shall be adjusted appropriately).

**10.3Other Benefit Plans.**

This Plan shall not affect the right of any Eligible Employee or Participant to participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance with the provisions of any other employee benefit plans which are now or hereafter maintained by any Employer, unless the terms of such other employee benefit plan or plans specifically provide otherwise or it would cause such other plan to violate a requirement for tax-favored treatment.

------

**10.4Receipt or Release.**

Any payment to a Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of this Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Plan Administrator, the Employer and the Company, and the Plan Administrator may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect.

**10.5Governing Law.**

This Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in all respects in accordance with ERISA and, to the extent not preempted by ERISA, in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. If any provisions of this instrument shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective.

**10.6Adoption of Plan by Related Employers.**

The Plan Administrator may select as an Employer any division of the Company, as well as any member of the PepsiCo Organization, and permit or cause such division or organization to adopt the Plan. The selection by the Plan Administrator shall govern the effective date of the adoption of the Plan by such related Employer. The requirements for Plan adoption are entirely within the discretion of the Plan Administrator and, in any case where the status of an entity as an Employer is at issue, the determination of the Plan Administrator shall be absolutely conclusive.

**10.7Rules of Construction.**

The provisions of this Plan shall be construed according to the following rules:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Gender and Number</u>. Whenever the context so indicates, the singular or plural number and the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall be deemed to include the other (or others).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Examples</u>. Whenever an example is provided or the text uses the term "including" followed by a specific item or items, or there is a passage having a similar effect, such passage of the Plan shall be construed as if the phrase "without limitation" followed such example or term (or otherwise applied to such passage in a manner that avoids limitation on its breadth of application).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Compounds of the Word "Here"</u> . The words "hereof", "herein", "hereunder" and other similar compounds of the word "here" shall mean and refer to the entire Plan, not to any particular provision or section.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Effect of Specific References</u>. Specific references in the Plan to the Plan Administrator's discretion shall create no inference that the Plan Administrator's discretion in any other respect, or in connection with any other provisions, is less complete or broad.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Subdivisions of the Plan Document</u>. This Plan document is divided and subdivided using the following progression: articles, sections, subsections, paragraphs, subparagraphs and clauses. Articles are designated by capital roman numerals. Sections are designated by Arabic numerals containing a decimal point. Subsections are designated by lower-case letters in parentheses. Paragraphs are designated by Arabic numbers in parentheses. Subparagraphs are designated by lower-case roman numerals in parenthesis. Clauses are designated by upper-case letters in parentheses. Any reference in a section to a subsection (with no accompanying section reference) shall be read as a reference to the subsection with the specified designation contained in that same section. A similar reading shall apply with respect to paragraph references within a subsection and subparagraph references within a paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Invalid Provisions</u>. If any provision of this Plan is, or is hereafter declared to be void, voidable, invalid or otherwise unlawful, the remainder of the Plan shall not be affected thereby.

------

**10.8Successors and Assigns; Nonalienation of Benefits.**

This Plan inures to the benefit of and is binding upon the parties hereto and their successors, heirs and assigns; provided, however, that the amounts credited to the ARC Equalization Account of a Participant are not (except as provided in Sections 5.5) subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any right to any benefits payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any assignment or alienation in connection with a separation, divorce, child support or similar arrangement, will be null and void and not binding on the Plan or the Company or any Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator reserves the right to make payments in accordance with a divorce decree, judgment or other court order as and when cash payments are made in accordance with the terms of this Plan from the ARC Equalization Account of a Participant. Any such payment shall be charged against and reduce the Participant's ARC Equalization Account.

**10.9Facility of Payment.**

Whenever, in the Plan Administrator's opinion, a Participant or Beneficiary entitled to receive any payment hereunder is under a legal disability or is incapacitated in any way so as to be unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the Plan Administrator may direct the Employer to make payments to such person or to the legal representative of such person for his or her benefit, or to apply the payment for the benefit of such person in such manner as the Plan Administrator considers advisable. Any payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be a complete discharge of any liability for the making of such payment to the Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan.

------

**ARTICLE XI – ERISA PLAN STRUCTURE**

This Plan document encompasses two separate plans within the meaning of ERISA, as set forth in Sections 11.1 and 11.2 below. These two plans are severable for any and all purposes as directed by the Company.

**11.1Excess Benefit Plan.**

An excess benefit plan within the meaning of ERISA section 3(36), maintained solely for the purpose of providing benefits for Savings Plan participants in excess of the limitations on benefits imposed by Code section 415.

**11.2Excess Compensation Top Hat Plan.**

A plan maintained by the Company primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of ERISA sections 201(2) and 401(a)(1). The plan provides benefits for Savings Plan participants in excess of the limitations imposed by Code section 401(a)(17) on benefits under the Savings Plan (after taking into account any benefits under the Excess Benefit Plan).

**11.3Allocation of Benefits Among Plans.**

Benefits under this Plan shall be allocated first to the Excess Benefit Plan, to the extent of benefits paid for the purpose indicated in Section 11.1 above, and then any remaining benefits shall be allocated to the Excess Compensation Top Hat Plan.

**APPENDIX A – MERGER OF PBG SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS PLAN**

**A.1Scope.**

This Article sets forth special provisions applicable to amounts earned under the PBG Supplemental Savings Plan ("PBG Plan") prior to the merger of that plan with and into this Plan. Amounts earned under the PBG Plan prior to the merger shall be credited to a subaccount of the Participant's ARC Equalization Account ("PBG Plan Subaccount"). All other defined terms used herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term under Article II unless otherwise indicated.

**A.2Provisions Applicable to Amounts Earned Under PBG Plan.**

Except as otherwise set forth in this Section A.2, the terms and conditions applicable to a Participant's PBG Plan Subaccount are governed by the prior document for the PBG Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Investment Mapping</u>. A Participant's PBG Plan Subaccount shall be mapped to the phantom investment options that are available for Equalized Automatic Retirement Contributions under Article V of this Plan according to the same mapping method that will apply for purposes of transferring the Participants' account balance under the PBG Savings Plan to the investment options available under the Savings Plan, except as otherwise provided by the Plan Administrator. Once the Participant's PBG Plan Subaccount balance has been mapped as provided in the preceding sentence, the PBG Plan Subaccount shall be subject to the investment provisions set forth in Article V.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund</u>. Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, the portion of a Participant's PBG Plan Subaccount that is invested in the phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund shall not be subject to mapping, but instead shall remain invested in the phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund until such time as the Participant makes a reinvestment election. Thereafter, such portion of the Participant's PBG Plan Subaccount shall remain eligible for investment and reinvestment in the phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund

------

(notwithstanding any restrictions on investment in the phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund that may apply generally under Article V) in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator for this purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Time and Form of Payment</u>. A Participant's PBG Plan Subaccount shall be paid on the first day of the calendar month following the Distribution Valuation Date that next follows the earliest of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)The Participant's Separation from Service;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)The Participant's death; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)A change in control of the Participant's Employer (other than the successor to the Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc.), as defined in Section 409A.

Distributions upon Separation from Service under this subsection shall be subject to Section 6.5 (Delay for Key Employees), except that no priority shall be given to Section 6.4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund Restrictions. To the extent necessary to ensure compliance with Rule 16b-3(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"), the Company may arrange for tracking of any such transaction defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(1) of the Act involving the phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund and the Company may bar any such transaction to the extent it would not be exempt under Rule 16b-3(f). The Company will impose blackout periods pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 whenever the Company determines that circumstances warrant. Further, the Company may impose quarterly blackout periods on insider trading in the Phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund as need (as determined by the Company), timed to coincide with the release of the Company's quarterly earnings reports. The commencement and termination of these blackout periods in each quarter, the parties to which they apply and the activities they restrict shall be as set forth in the official insider trading policy promulgated by the Company from time to time.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Impact of Securities Law on Distributions. The provisions of (d) above and this subparagraph (e), shall apply in determining whether a Participant's distribution shall be delayed beyond the date applicable under Article VI of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)In General. This Plan is intended to be a formula plan for purposes of Section 16 of the Act. Accordingly, in the case of a deferral or other action under the Plan that constitutes a transaction that could be covered by Rule 16b- 3(d) or (e) of the Act, if it were approved by the Company's Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee ("Board Approval"), it is intended that the Plan shall be administered by delegates of the Compensation Committee, in the case of a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Act, in a manner that will permit the Board Approval of the Plan to avoid any additional Board Approval of specific transactions to the maximum possible extent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Approval of Distributions. This subsection shall govern the distribution of a deferral that (i) is wholly or partly invested in the Phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund at the time the deferral would be valued to determine the amount of cash to be distributed to a Participant, (ii) was not covered by an agreement, made at the time of the Participant's original phantom investment election, that any investments in the phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund would, once made, remain in that fund until distribution, (iii) is made to a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Act at the time the interest in the phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund would be liquidated in connection with the distribution, and (iv) if paid at the time the distribution would be made without regard to this subsection, could result in a violation of Section 16 of the Act because there is an opposite way transaction that would be matched with the liquidation of the Participant's interest in the phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund (either as a "discretionary transaction," within the meaning of Rule 16b- 3(b)(1), or as a regular transaction, as applicable) (a "Covered Distribution"). In the case of a Covered Distribution, if the liquidation of the Participant's interest in

------

the phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund in connection with the distribution has not received Board Approval by the time the distribution would be made if it were not a Covered Distribution, or if it is a discretionary transaction, then the actual distribution to the Participant shall be delayed only until the earlier of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)In the case of a transaction that is not a discretionary transaction, Board Approval of the liquidation of the Participant's interest in the phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund in connection with the distribution, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)The date the distribution would no longer violate Section 16 of the Act, *e.g.*, when the Participant is no longer subject to Section 16 of the Act, when the balance related to the distribution is no longer invested in the phantom PepsiCo Common Stock Fund, or when the time between the liquidation and an opposite way transaction is sufficient.

In determining Years of Entitlement Service and Eligible Pay under the prior sentence, no compensation or service shall be taken into account more than once.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Calculation of PIRP Transfer Participant's Benefit</u> : The PIRP Transfer Participant's benefit under the Plan shall be calculated as of each relevant payroll date under the Savings Plan by reducing his Total

The primary details of our offer to you are as follows:

**<u>Start Date</u>** – Your Start Date is anticipated to be on or around November 10, 2025.

**<u>Salary</u>** – Your starting annual base salary will be **$900,000** (payable bi-weekly), subject to applicable taxes. Your position is not eligible for an automatic annual merit increase; instead, future adjustments to your base salary will be at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "<u>Compensation Committee</u>") based on a review of market and other data for comparable positions and your performance.

**<u>Executive Car Program</u>** – You will be eligible to participate in PepsiCo's Executive Car Program. Under the terms of this program, you will receive a cash allowance to help cover the cost of your personal automobile. The current annual cash allowance for your level is **$25,350** (payable bi-weekly), subject to applicable taxes.

**<u>Annual Bonus Target</u>** – Commencing with the 2025 performance year, you will be eligible for an Annual Bonus under PepsiCo's executive incentive program with a target Annual Bonus opportunity equal to **150%** of your base salary. Annual Bonuses are paid as a percentage of target depending on team and individual performance, and are contingent on your continued employment through the end of the relevant performance year.

Steve Schmitt

October 6, 2025

**<u>Long-Term Incentive Program</u>** – You will be eligible to participate in PepsiCo's Long-Term Incentive Program ("<u>LTIP</u>") in accordance with the terms of the LTIP.

Your 2026 target LTIP Award will have a face value of **$5,000,000** and is expected to be awarded 66% in Performance Stock Units ("<u>PSUs</u>") and 34% in Long-Term Cash ("<u>LTC</u>"). The grant date of your 2026 award will be aligned with PepsiCo's granting policies (such date, the "<u>2026 LTIP Grant Date</u>"). This award can be earned between 0% and 200% and will fully vest in March 2029, contingent on your continued employment through the vesting date and subject to the same terms and conditions as the 2026 LTIP awards granted to other similarly situated executives of the Company in March 2026. This award will be based on and subject to the level of achievement of the applicable performance targets established by the Compensation Committee. The number of PSUs you will be granted under this award will be determined by dividing the face value by the fair market value of PepsiCo Common Stock on the 2026 LTIP Grant Date. PSUs will accrue dividend equivalents.

Beginning March 2026, you will participate in the ordinary course annual LTIP grant process. Your annual LTIP will be granted in the same form, using the same valuation methodology and subject to the same terms and conditions as the annual LTIP awards granted to other similarly situated executives of the Company, subject to the terms of the applicable plan.

The full terms and conditions of the 2026 LTIP Award and any future LTIP Awards will be set out in the award agreement that you will receive shortly after the grant date and that you will be required to sign and accept in order to receive the award. All LTIP Awards are made at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

**<u>Sign-on Incentive</u>** – As an inducement for you to join PepsiCo, including to offset amounts that you will forfeit by resigning from your current employer, you will be eligible to receive the following Sign-on Awards:

–**<u>Sign-on Cash Award</u>** – You will receive a special Sign-on Cash Award in the aggregate amount of **$3,500,000**, which will be payable based on the following payment schedule.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Installment** | **Payment Date** |
| $2000000 | Start Date |
| $1500000 | First anniversary of your Start Date |

---

The above award will be payable promptly following the relevant payment date, less applicable tax withholding, and the payment will be contingent upon your continued active employment through the relevant payment date. For the avoidance of doubt, and except as set forth below, if you are not employed on the relevant payment date for any reason, the Sign-on Cash Award will not be owed to you and will not be paid.

------

Steve Schmitt

October 6, 2025

In the event that you resign your employment for any reason other than arising from, associated with or attributable to, a change in your position and title as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, or your employment is terminated by PepsiCo for Cause (as defined below) within 24 months after the Start Date, (i) you will be entitled to retain only that portion of such installment determined by multiplying the installment by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of months (including partial months where applicable) that have elapsed from the Start Date to your termination date and the denominator of which will be 24 (such amount, the "<u>Earned Installment</u>"), (ii) you will promptly repay PepsiCo any portion of the installment already paid to the extent it exceeds the Earned Installment, and (iii) you will forfeit any unpaid installments in excess of the Earned Installment. An installment will not be subject to repayment if the resignation or termination by PepsiCo for Cause occurs after the 24-month anniversary of the Start Date. If the termination date occurs during a month, the Earned Installment shall be calculated on a pro rata basis for the month determined as of the date of termination.

In the event that your employment is terminated by PepsiCo without Cause (as defined below) prior to a payment date of the Sign-on Cash Award per the table above, you shall be entitled to all of the Sign-on Cash Award without repayment, reduction or setoff and the Company will pay all remaining unpaid installments, which have a future payment date, promptly following your termination of employment. If, however, the installment is subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the installment will be paid promptly only after you have a "separation from service" (as defined in Section 409A) without Cause, provided that if you are classified as a "specified employee" of PepsiCo by Section 409A, payment of the installment for separation from service will be delayed six months as required by Section 409A.

For this purpose, "Cause" means the occurrence of any of the following acts provided they are determined in good faith and with commercial reasonableness to be materially adverse to the Company's best interests after consideration of all the relevant facts and the totality of the circumstances: (a) knowingly breaching any contract; provided however that if such breach is reasonably capable of being cured, the Company shall first provide written notification of the occurrence of the breach to you sufficiently detailing such breach and you shall have a reasonable period of time not to exceed fifteen (15) days after your actual receipt of such notice to cure such breach to the reasonable, good faith satisfaction of the Company; (b) violating any obligation to the Company, including the Company's Code of Conduct, Insider Trading Policy or any other written policies of the Company which have been provided to you prior to the commission of such violation; (c) unlawfully trading in the securities of PepsiCo or of any other company based on information gained as a result of your employment with the Company; (d) committing acts involving gross misconduct in the performance of employment duties, dishonesty, fraud, illegality, or moral turpitude, or that cause or

------

Steve Schmitt

October 6, 2025

contribute to the need for an accounting adjustment to PepsiCo's financial results; or (e) knowingly engaging in gross misconduct that is detrimental to or reflects unfavorably upon the Company or its brands, services, or products; provided, however that nothing in this paragraph is intended to bar you from engaging in Protected Activity. For these purposes, "Protected Activity" means that nothing in this offer shall limit: (i) your right to make truthful statements or disclosures about any facts and circumstances related to any claim or allegation of unlawful discrimination by the Company; (ii) bar you from giving testimony pursuant to a compulsory legal process or as otherwise required by law; or (iii) prohibit you from, without notice to the Company, filing a complaint or charge with a government authority, recognized self-regulatory organization or law enforcement agency (including, but not limited to, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission), communicating with a government authority, recognized self-regulatory organization or law enforcement agency, providing information to a government authority, recognized self-regulatory organization or law enforcement agency, participating in government authority, recognized self-regulatory organization or law enforcement agency investigations, or testifying in government authority, recognized self-regulatory organization or law enforcement agency proceedings concerning any possible legal violations or from receiving a monetary award for information provided to a government agency. The Company nonetheless asserts and does not waive its attorney-client privilege over any information appropriately protected by the privilege.

To determine whether an individual installment of the Sign-On Cash Award is subject to Section 409A (or exempt from Section 409A as a Section 409A short-term deferral) and if applicable, for purposes of 409A compliance, each individual installment is a separate and distinct award for purposes of Section 409A, and prompt payment means payment as soon as practicable (and within not more than 30 days).

–**<u>Sign-on RSU Award</u>** – You will receive a special Sign-on Restricted Stock Unit ("<u>RSU</u>") award under the LTIP. The grant date for this award will be on the Start Date. This award will have a face value equal to **$7,000,000**, will accrue dividend equivalents, and will vest 50% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date, in each case contingent on your continued employment through the applicable vesting date (and with such continued employment your vested RSUs will be delivered promptly after the applicable vesting date, applying the definition of prompt payment above).. The number of RSUs you will be granted under this award will be determined by dividing the face value by the fair market value of PepsiCo Common Stock on the grant date. Shortly after the grant date, you will receive an award agreement setting out the full terms of this award that you will be required to execute in order to receive this award.

------

Steve Schmitt

October 6, 2025

In the event that your employment is terminated by PepsiCo without Cause (as defined above) prior to an applicable vesting date of the RSU per the terms above, any unvested installment of the RSU will vest upon your termination of employment date and, subject to the next sentence, be delivered promptly after that date. If any such installment is subject to Section 409A, the installment will be delivered promptly after your date of termination only if it constitutes a "separation from service" (as defined in Section 409A), provided that if you are classified as a "specified employee" of PepsiCo by Section 409A, payment of the installment for a separation from service will be delayed six months as required by Section 409A.

**<u>Benefits</u>** – You will be eligible to participate in PepsiCo's health and welfare benefit programs for salaried employees, which require employee contributions based on benefit choices. If elected, your health care coverage and life/accident insurance are effective upon your Start Date and disability protection will be effective after 90 days of employment.

In addition, you will be eligible to receive from PepsiCo automatic retirement contributions to the PepsiCo Savings Plan based on your age and years of service. You will also be eligible to make contributions to the PepsiCo Savings Plan and receive PepsiCo matching contributions.

**<u>Insider Trading Policy</u>** – You will be subject to the Company's Insider Trading Policy. As such, you may only perform transactions in PepsiCo, Inc. Common Stock during defined window periods and after obtaining approval from the Company's Law Department and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. You will receive further information on the Company's Insider Trading Policy shortly after your Start Date.

**<u>Ownership Guidelines</u>** – As a result of your new role, you will be subject to the Company's Stock Ownership Guidelines. As such, you will be required to own shares of PepsiCo, Inc. Common Stock equal to four times your annual base salary, as in effect from time to time, within five years of your Start Date (except as otherwise agreed to). Under the terms of the Stock Ownership Guidelines, you are required to hold shares needed to meet 100% of this stock ownership level until six months after your separation from service from the Company and to continue to hold shares equal to 50% of this stock ownership level from six months to 12 months after your separation from service. PepsiCo, Inc. shares or equivalents held by you or your immediate family members, in the PepsiCo Savings Plan, deferred compensation program or in trust for the benefit of immediate family members count towards satisfying the requirement. Unvested LTIP awards do not count towards satisfying the requirement.

**<u>Share Retention Policy</u>** – As a result of your new role, you will be subject to the Company's Share Retention Policy as in effect from time to time. As such, the aggregate amount of cash that you may receive upon settlement of LTIP awards during each calendar year may be limited. You will be exempt from this requirement once you have met, and continue to meet, your ownership level under the Company's Ownership Guidelines.

------

Steve Schmitt

October 6, 2025

**<u>Taxes</u>** – You will be responsible for all actual taxes on your compensation. PepsiCo may deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to you such federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes as are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. Any annual bonus payment payable in the first quarter of a calendar year after the performance period will be paid no later than March 15 in order to be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code as a short-term deferral.

**<u>Outstanding Obligations</u>** – By signing below, you confirm that your acceptance of this offer and your employment with PepsiCo will not conflict with or result in a breach of any contractual, fiduciary or other obligation you owe to any other party, including a former employer. In the event that a former employer attempts to restrict or prevent your employment with PepsiCo through the enforcement of any obligation to which you may be bound, PepsiCo reserves the right not to contest the legality of such obligation. In such a circumstance, you may be forced to resign your employment with PepsiCo and you will not be eligible for severance benefits as a result of such resignation. Further, any legal expense incurred by you in defending such action will be solely your responsibility and not that of PepsiCo. We recommend that if you are bound by restrictive covenants or other obligations to a former employer or other party you obtain an opinion from your personal attorney regarding the enforceability of such obligations prior to accepting PepsiCo's offer of employment.

The above describes some of the terms of your offer and compensation and benefits programs. The terms and conditions of all benefits and compensation are governed by their respective summary plan descriptions, plan documents and other legal documents, and are subject to change at any time and without advance notice.

This offer of employment is contingent upon the Company's satisfactory verification of the information regarding your qualifications and background that you provided on your resume and application and satisfactory completion of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Successful completion of an employment and criminal background check including a Motor Vehicle Report where applicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Completion of the Employment Eligibility Verification form (I-9) with Human Resources. The I-9 must be completed within 3 days of your Start Date.

An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)Beginning on your Retirement Date and thereafter through twelve (12) months following your Retirement Date, render the same or similar services as the services you provided for the Company (collectively "Competitive Services") to or for any person or business entity that sells, distributes, manufactures or develops Covered Products (a "Competitor") anywhere in the United States or in any other country where a Competitor competes with a Company business for which you provided material services or assistance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Beginning on your Retirement Date and thereafter through twelve (12) months following your Retirement Date, recruit, hire, solicit or induce, or attempt to recruit, hire, solicit or induce, any Covered Employee or contractor of the Company to terminate their employment with or otherwise cease or reduce their relationship with the Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)Beginning on your Retirement Date and thereafter through twelve (12) months following your Retirement Date, knowingly engage in any conduct on behalf of yourself or another business entity that is intended to cause or could foreseeably cause Covered Customers or Covered Suppliers to cease or reduce doing business with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) As used in this paragraph: three (3) years prior to the Retirement Date is the "Look Back Period." "Covered Employees" are those Company employees you supervised, worked with, gained knowledge of, or obtained or had access to Confidential Information about during the Look Back Period. "Covered Customers" and "Covered Suppliers" are those you engaged with, supervised dealings with, or obtained or had access to Confidential Information about during the Look Back Period. If New York law controls, a Covered Customer will not include a customer of the Company that was a pre-existing customer of yours that became a customer of the Company solely as a result of your contact and business development efforts with the customer prior to and independent from your employment with the Company. "Covered Products" are the types of products, with respect to which you provided services for the Company or about which you obtained or had access to Confidential Information during the Look Back Period, and that were produced, marketed, sold, licensed or, to your knowledge, under development by a business of the Company, including, without limitation, any product that falls into one or more of the following categories: (i) in-home and commercial beverage systems, consumables, carbon dioxide gas refills, and ready-to-drink beverages, including without limitation carbonated soft drinks, tea, water, juices, juice drinks, juice products, sports drinks, energy drinks, alcoholic beverages, and coffee drinks; (ii) dairy products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply to prevent you and your immediate family from collectively being holders of up to five percent (5%) in the aggregate of any class of securities of any corporation engaged in the prohibited activities described above, provided that such securities are listed on a national securities exchange or registered under securities laws of Canada or the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notwithstanding this Section 5, nothing in this Agreement bars you from engaging in the activities described in Section 4(b) above.

***6. Non-Disparagement.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the avoidance of doubt, the non-disparagement obligation in this Agreement does not prevent you from exercising the right to speak with law enforcement, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the New York state division of human rights, a local commission of human rights, the New York Attorney General, or an attorney retained by you regarding any factual information related to any future claim of unlawful discrimination, including discriminatory harassment or retaliation, by the Company.

***7. Irreparable Harm, Reasonableness, Other Agreements.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You acknowledge that your breach or threatened breach of the terms of Sections 3, 4, 5 or 6 of this Agreement would result in material and irreparable injury to the Company, and that it would be difficult or impossible to establish the full monetary value of such damage. Therefore, the Company shall be eligible for injunctive relief in the event you breach or threaten breach of any of the terms contained in Sections 3, 4, 5 or 6 of this Agreement. In addition, you shall be required to indemnify and hold the Releasees (as defined below) harmless from any litigation cost (including attorneys' fees) incurred by them arising out of your breach or threatened breach of any terms contained in Sections 3, 4, 5, or 6 of this Agreement. The undertakings and obligations contained in Sections 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, provided that you in all events retain at least $500 of benefits under this Agreement. Further, nothing in this Section is intended to bar you from, without notice to the Company, engaging in any of the activities described in Section 4(b) of this Agreement.

You agree that the covenants you have made in Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 are reasonable with respect to their duration and description.

You acknowledge that, except as expressly set forth in Section 4(b), Sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 are not intended to supersede or limit your obligations under other agreements, which may be different from those contained in such sections. Other such agreements may include confidentiality, non-disclosure, trade secret or assignment-of-invention agreements previously executed by you in favor of the Company. You affirm and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of such documents if you previously executed such documents.

This release applies, whether such Claims are known or unknown, including without limitation, any Claims arising out of or related to your employment with the Company or your separation from employment with the Company. This release includes, but is not limited to, any Claims for back pay, attorneys' fees, reinstatement, personal injuries, wrongful termination, negligence, emotional distress, defamation, breach of contract (express or implied), breach of any covenant of good faith and fair dealing (express or implied), breach of fiduciary duty, or for recovery of any losses or other damages to you or your property or plan interests or for any equitable relief based on any alleged unlawful discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or failure to accommodate or engage in the interactive accommodation process; the terms and conditions of employment; compensation and benefits; denial of substantive rights, and/or the termination of employment in violation of state or federal law, such as (but not limited to) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 ("ADEA"), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Equal Pay Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA"), the New York Human Rights Law, the New York Equal Rights Law, the Westchester County Human Rights Law, as these laws may be amended from time to time; and all other applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, administrative guidance, and ordinances providing protections similar to those provided under the above-specified laws, or under any common law doctrine; and under any Company policy, practice, procedure, collective bargaining agreement, or grievance procedure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This release of claims does not apply to (a) any claims or rights that may arise after you sign and/or ratify this Agreement; (b) the Company's expense reimbursement policies; and (c) any claims that the controlling law clearly states may not be released by private agreement. Further, this Agreement does not release any pension plan from any individual (*i.e.*, non-class action) Claims for accrued and vested tax-qualified pension benefits as determined under the express terms of the Company's applicable and governing plans (based on the formal written plan terms effective and adopted by the date of this Agreement, but giving effect to the plan fiduciary's right of discretionary interpretation of such terms and expressly barring all claims for breach of fiduciary duty and claims for welfare benefits). Notwithstanding this Section, nothing in this Agreement prevents you from, without notice to the Company, engaging in any of the activities described in Section 4(b) above (including receiving an award for information provided to a governmental agency).

You represent and warrant that to date you have (a) received any and all wages owed for work performed for the Company, (b) not been made aware of any facts or circumstances which might constitute a violation of PepsiCo's Code of Conduct or its

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You promise not to file, pursue, participate in or be part of a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding asserting any claims that are covered by and not expressly excluded from the release of Claims above. You agree that if you breach this promise not to sue or fail to comply with your obligations under this Agreement, the Company (a) may terminate your employment and any continued eligibility for benefits and compensation provided under this Agreement that you would not otherwise be entitled to (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any pro-rata 2026 bonus and/or any 2026 long-term incentive award), and (b) shall be entitled to recover all such benefits previously paid to you except for $500, which you will retain as consideration for the Release in Section 8 above. Alternatively, at the Company's option, you shall be required to indemnify and hold the Releasees harmless from any loss, cost, damage or expense (including attorney's fees) incurred by them arising out of your breach of this covenant not to sue. Although you agree that you are releasing claims under the ADEA, this promise not to sue shall not apply to any Claim to enforce this Agreement or to challenge the validity of this Agreement under the ADEA. This provision is not intended to preclude otherwise available recovery of attorneys' fees or cost specifically authorized under applicable law. Notwithstanding this Section, nothing in this Agreement prevents you from, without notice to the Company, engaging in any of the activities described in Section 4(b) above (including receiving an award for information provided to a governmental agency).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement, including all attachments, contains all of the undertakings and agreements between the Company and you pertaining to your separation from the Company and supersedes all previous undertakings and agreements, whether oral or in writing, between the Company and you pertaining to your separation from the Company. No provision of this Agreement may be changed or waived unless such change or waiver is agreed to in writing, signed by you and a duly authorized employee of the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, no waiver by either the Company or you of any breach by the other of any condition or provision shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same time or any prior or subsequent time. This Agreement is not, and shall not be interpreted or construed as, an admission or indication that the Company has engaged in any wrongful or unlawful conduct of any kind.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No rights or obligations under this Agreement can be assigned or transferred by you, except as they may be transferred by will or by operation of law. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall be for the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and you and, in the event of your death, your estate or legal representative.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The parties to this Agreement mutually agree that if any clause of this Agreement, except the release of claims in Section 8 above, should ever be determined to be unenforceable, this will not affect the enforceability of any other clause or the remainder of this Agreement. If an authorized court or authorized arbitrator ("adjudicator") determines that a restrictive covenant applicable to you cannot be enforced as written in some part (such as time, scope of activity, or geography), the parties agree to the adjudicator's enforcement of the restrictions in the covenant to such lesser extent as would make the obligation reasonable and enforceable, and/or to the reformation of the restriction to make it enforceable. Moreover, the adjudicator shall interpret and reform the otherwise unenforceable provision to make it enforceable so as to comply with legal requirements and the intent of the parties. You hereby agree that the Company will have the right, through a written notice to you, to rescind any restriction placed upon you or to reduce the boundaries of any restriction applicable to you under this Agreement (such as time, scope of activity, or geography) at any time as it deems necessary to make the restriction reasonable and enforceable, and if this occurs the Agreement will be interpreted and applied as if such reduction was in the Agreement as originally entered into by the parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (g) The parties intend that you will continue to provide substantial services to the Company through your Retirement Date, such that a "separation from service" will not occur under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 409A") until your Retirement Date, and that this Agreement will be interpreted so that (i) each installment of salary shall be deemed a separate payment of current compensation for purposes of Section 409A payable at standard payroll intervals, (ii) salary, annual bonus amounts,

------

James Caulfield

October 7, 2025

PSUs and stock option rights (if any), will be exempt from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible as current compensation, short term deferrals or under the exemptions for options or separation pay under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), or shall comply with the Section 409A payment rules to the extent that they are not otherwise exempt from Section 409A, (iii) reimbursements and in-kind benefits, to the extent not exempt from Section 409A, will comply with Section 409A by the Company's completing all payments not later than the calendar year after the related expense is incurred, and by the amount eligible in a year not affecting those eligible in any other year, and the payments not being eligible for liquidation or exchange, and (iv) any reduction under this Agreement of payments which you would otherwise receive, for amounts owed to the Company shall apply to payments that are subject to Section 409A only to the extent permissible under Section 409A. In addition, the parties intend that this Agreement will be interpreted so that ARC Equalization Plan and PEP benefits will comply with Section 409A. In the case of payments of Section 409A compensation related to separation from service, compliance with Section 409A will include a six-month delay in the commencement of such payments to the extent required for Key Employees (as defined in Section 409A and consistent with the Company's other Section 409A plans). In addition, the Agreement will also be interpreted to permit the Pension Plan and the Savings Plan to retain their status as tax-qualified plans. However, you acknowledge and agree that the Company does not guarantee any particular tax treatment and that you are solely responsible for any taxes that you owe as a result of this Agreement.

**Exhibit 10.26**

 **<u>2025 PEPSICO LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARD</u>**

**SPECIAL RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS** 

**TERMS AND CONDITIONS** 

These Terms and Conditions (including the country-specific terms set forth in the attached Addendum), along with the 2025 PepsiCo Long-Term Incentive Special Restricted Stock Units Award Summary provided to the Participant (the "**Award Summary**"), and signed by Stephen T. Schmitt, the individual named on the Award Summary, (the "**Participant**"), shall together constitute an agreement (this "**Agreement**") effective as of the "grant date" indicated on the Award Summary (the "**Grant Date**"), by and between PepsiCo, Inc., a North Carolina corporation having its principal office at 700 Anderson Hill Road, Purchase, New York 10577 ("**PepsiCo**," and with its divisions and direct and indirect subsidiaries, the "**Company**"), and the Participant.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors and shareholders of PepsiCo have approved the PepsiCo, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "**Plan**"), for the purposes and subject to the provisions set forth in the Plan; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the authority granted to it in the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of PepsiCo (the "**Committee**") or its delegate authorized, on or prior to the Grant Date, the grant to the Participant of the PepsiCo restricted stock units ("**RSUs**") on the Grant Date and in the amounts set forth on the Award Summary; and

WHEREAS, awards granted under the Plan are to be evidenced by an Agreement in such form and containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A. <u>Terms and Conditions Applicable to RSUs</u>**. These terms and conditions shall apply with respect to the RSUs, if any, granted to the Participant as indicated on the Award Summary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Grant</u>. In consideration of the Participant remaining in the employ of the Company and agreeing to be bound by the covenants of Paragraph B, PepsiCo hereby grants to the Participant, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, the number of RSUs as indicated on the Award Summary (the "**RSUs**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Vesting</u>. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, 50% of the number of RSUs specified on the Award Summary shall become vested on each of the first and second anniversaries of the Grant Date (each such date, an "**RSU Vesting Date**") and such vested RSUs shall be paid as soon as practicable after that date. Subject to Paragraphs A.4(b) and (c) below, RSUs may vest only while the Participant is actively employed by the Company.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Payment</u>. RSUs that vest and become payable shall be settled in shares of PepsiCo Common Stock with the Participant receiving one share of PepsiCo Common Stock for each vested RSU. No fractional shares shall be delivered under this Agreement, and so any fractional share that may be payable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Any amount that the Company may be required to withhold upon the settlement of RSUs and/or the payment of dividend equivalents (see Paragraph A.5 below) in respect of applicable foreign, federal (including FICA), state and local taxes, must be paid in full at the time of the issuance of shares or payment of cash. Unless the Participant makes other arrangements to satisfy this withholding obligation in accordance with procedures approved by the Company in its discretion, the Company shall withhold shares to satisfy the required withholding obligation related to the settlement of RSUs. In the event the Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 at the time of payment, payment tax withholding shall be accomplished by net share settlement with the Company in accordance with procedures approved by the Company in its discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Effect of Termination of Employment, Death and Total Disability</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Termination of Employment</u>. RSUs may vest and become payable only while the Participant is actively employed by the Company. Thus, vesting ceases upon the termination of the Participant's active employment with the Company. Subject to subparagraphs 4(b) and (c), all unvested RSUs shall automatically be forfeited and cancelled upon the date that the Participant's active employment with the Company terminates. An authorized severance leave of absence will not be treated as active employment, and, as a result, the vesting of RSUs will not be extended by any such period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Termination without Cause or Death or Total Disability</u>. If the Participant's employment with the Company terminates as a result of (i) an involuntary termination by the Company without Cause or (ii) by reason of the Participant's death or Total Disability, then any unvested RSUs shall become fully vested on the Participant's last day of active employment with the Company (which, for purposes of Total Disability, means the effective date of Total Disability) and will be paid as soon as practicable after that date, net of any RSUs previously paid out.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Transfers to a Related Entity</u>. In the event the Participant transfers to a Related Entity and such transfer is arranged and approved by PepsiCo, the RSUs shall continue to vest (and their time of payment shall be determined) after such transfer by treating the Participant's employment with the Related Entity as employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Other Termination</u>. For purposes of clarity of subparagraph 4(a) above, in the event that, prior to the vesting of the RSUs, the Participant ceases active employment with the Company for any reason not specified in subparagraphs 4(b) or 4(c) above (such as the Participant's resignation or retirement), then all unvested RSUs shall automatically be forfeited and cancelled upon the date that the Participant's active employment with the Company terminates.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Dividend Equivalents</u>. During the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on each RSU Vesting Date, the Participant shall accumulate dividend equivalents with respect to the RSUs, which dividend equivalents shall be paid in cash (without interest) to the Participant only if and when the applicable RSUs vest and become payable. Dividend equivalents shall equal the dividends actually paid with respect to PepsiCo Common Stock during the RSU vesting period while (and to the extent) the RSUs remain outstanding and unpaid. Upon the forfeiture of RSUs, any accumulated dividend equivalents attributable to such RSUs shall also be forfeited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>No Rights as Shareholder</u>. The Participant shall have no rights as a holder of PepsiCo Common Stock with respect to the RSUs granted hereunder unless and until such RSUs have been settled in shares of PepsiCo Common Stock that have been registered in the Participant's name as owner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B. <u>Prohibited Conduct</u>**. In consideration of the Company disclosing and providing access to Confidential Information, as more fully described in Paragraph B.2 below, after the date hereof, the grant by the Company of the RSUs, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Participant and the Company, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. <u>Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation</u>. To the extent permissible by applicable laws and rules, the Participant hereby covenants and agrees that at all times during his or her employment with the Company and for a period of twelve months after the termination of the Participant's employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever (including a termination due to the Participant's retirement), he or she will not, without the prior written consent of PepsiCo's chief people officer or chief legal officer, directly or indirectly, either as an employee, consultant, contractor, investor, agent or in any other capacity, engage in any activities prohibited in the following Paragraphs B.1(a) through (c):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Render the same or similar services as the services the Participant provided for the Company (collectively "Competitive Services") to or for any person or business entity that sells, distributes, manufactures or develops Covered Products (as defined below) (a "Competitor") anywhere in the United States or in any other country where a Competitor competes with a Company business for which the Participant provided material services or assistance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Recruit, hire, solicit or induce, or attempt to recruit, hire, solicit or induce, any Covered Employee (as defined below) or contractor of the Company to terminate their employment with or otherwise cease or reduce their relationship with the Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Knowingly engage in any conduct on behalf of another business that is intended to cause or could foreseeably cause Covered Customers or Covered Suppliers (as defined below) to cease or reduce doing business with the Company.

Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph B.1, the Participant shall not be considered to be in violation of Paragraph B.1(a) solely by reason of owning, directly or indirectly, up to five

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

percent (5%) in the aggregate of any class of securities of any publicly traded corporation engaged in the prohibited activities described in Paragraph B.1(a).

Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph B.1, nothing in this Agreement bars the Participant from engaging in Protected Activity (as defined below).

The Company advises the Participant to consult with an attorney regarding the provisions in this Paragraph B.1 before accepting this Agreement. Participant agrees and acknowledges that Participant has been given at least fourteen (14) days in which to consider these restrictions before entering into this Agreement. Part of the consideration described in the Award Summary and provided under this Agreement is in exchange for the Participant's promises in this Paragraph B.1, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Non-Disclosure</u>. In order to assist the Participant with his or her duties, the Company shall continue to provide the Participant with access to Confidential Information and proprietary operational information that is either information not known by actual or potential competitors, customers and third parties of the Company or is proprietary information of the Company. "**Confidential Information**" consists of information and compilations of information, in any form (tangible or intangible), related to the Company's business and of value to it that the Participant first gained knowledge of or access to as a consequence of the Participant's employment with the Company if the Company has not made it public or authorized public disclosure of it and it is not readily available through lawful and proper means to the public or others in the industry who have no obligation to keep it confidential. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, technical or non-technical data, a formula (including cost and/or pricing formula), pattern (including pricing and discount history), compilation, program, device, method (including cost and/or pricing methods, marketing programs and operating methods), technique, drawing, process, financial data, or list of actual or potential customers or suppliers. The Participant agrees that, pursuant to Paragraph B.3 below, the Participant will retain no copies or records of Confidential Information after the Participant's employment with the Company ends. The Participant acknowledges that during the course of the Participant's relationship with the Company, the Participant has learned and will continue to learn important Confidential Information related to the Company's business. The Participant also acknowledges that such Confidential Information is not generally available to the public and includes, but is not limited to, information about the Company's customers (e.g., names, contacts, requirements, nature of accounts, terms, rates and prices, and costs), operations (e.g., production, marketing and distribution processes, techniques, methods and plans), and finances and business (e.g., information regarding ownership; information regarding personnel entrusted to the Participant in confidence as part of the Participant's job duties; sources, availability and cost of supplies and materials; financial data relating to projected and historical sales, income, expenses, profits and general financial standing). The Participant agrees that such Confidential Information remains confidential even if committed to the Participant's memory. The Participant agrees, during the term of his or her employment and at all times thereafter, not to use, divulge, or furnish or make accessible to any third party, company, corporation or other organization (including but not limited to, customers or competitors of the Company), without the Company's prior written consent, any Confidential Information of the Company, except as necessary in his or her position

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

with the Company or as permitted below with respect to Protected Activity (as defined below). The Participant understands and agrees that "Confidential Information" protected in this Agreement is hereby amended to exclude information protected as Protected Activity (as defined below).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement, the Plan, any other Award made under the Plan or in any other confidentiality provision to which the Participant may be subject as a result of the Participant's employment with the Company shall: (1) limit the Participant's rights to make truthful statements or disclosures about any facts and circumstances related to any claim or allegation of unlawful discrimination by the Company and, for Participants located in California, shall not prevent such California Participant from discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that the Participant has reason to believe is unlawful or violates public policy; (2) bar the Participant from giving testimony pursuant to a compulsory legal process or as otherwise required by law; or (3) prohibit the Participant from, without notice to the Company, filing a complaint or charge with a government authority, recognized self-regulatory organization or law enforcement agency (including, but not limited to, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission), communicating with a government authority, recognized self-regulatory organization or law enforcement agency, providing information to a government authority, recognized self-regulatory organization or law enforcement agency, participating in government authority, recognized self-regulatory organization or law enforcement agency investigations, or testifying in government authority, recognized self-regulatory organization or law enforcement agency proceedings concerning any possible legal violations or from receiving a monetary award for information provided to a government agency (collectively, "Protected Activity"). The Company nonetheless asserts and does not waive its attorney-client privilege over any information appropriately protected by the privilege. Further, notwithstanding any confidentiality provision to which the Participant may be subject, the Participant is hereby advised as follows pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act: "An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Return of Confidential Information and Company Property</u>. The Participant further represents that whenever the Participant's employment with the Company ends for any reason, Participant will return to the Company any Company property in Participant's possession, including Company information, however stored (i.e., hard-copy documentation or electronically stored information on whatever media or in whatever format) and tangible equipment. This includes but is not limited to Confidential Information (as defined in Paragraph B.2 above),

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

other information regarding the Company's business plans, programs, processes, methods or decisions, as well as credit cards, keys, identification cards, cellular phones, pagers, iPhones, iPads, fax or computer equipment, etc. Any credit cards issued to Participant by the Company will be discontinued as of Participant's last day of active employment. To the extent Participant has any such Company property (including Confidential Information) stored on any personal digital assistant, personal computer, personal email or cloud accounts, or any other storage device, Participant agrees to promptly provide a copy of all such property and information to the Company upon the termination of Participant's active employment and to permanently delete all such property and information from such personal devices and accounts unless directed otherwise by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Misconduct</u>. During the term of his employment with the Company, the Participant shall not engage in any of the acts as set forth in the definition of Cause in Paragraph C.3(a) below ; provided, however that nothing in this paragraph is intended to bar the Participant from engaging in Protected Activity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5. <u>Reasonableness of Provisions</u>. The Participant agrees that: (a) the terms and provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and constitute an otherwise enforceable agreement to which the terms and provisions of this Paragraph B are ancillary or a part of; (b) the consideration provided by the Company under this Agreement is not illusory; (c) the restrictions contained in this Paragraph B are necessary and reasonable for the protection of the legitimate business interests and goodwill of the Company; and (d) the consideration given by the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provision by the Company of Confidential Information to the Participant, gives rise to the Company's interest in the covenants set forth in this Paragraph B.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Repayment and Forfeiture</u>. The Participant specifically recognizes and affirms that each of the covenants contained in Paragraphs B.1 through B.4 of this Agreement is a material and important term of this Agreement that has induced the Company to provide for the award of the RSUs granted hereunder, the disclosure of Confidential Information referenced herein, and the other promises made by the Company herein. The Participant further agrees that in the event that (i) the Company determines that the Participant has breached any term of Paragraphs B.1 through B.4 or (ii) all or any part of Paragraph B is held or found invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action between the Participant and the Company, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity the Company may have available to it, the Company may in its sole discretion:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) cancel any unpaid RSUs granted hereunder; and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) require the Participant to pay to the Company the value (determined as of the date paid) of any RSUs granted hereunder that have been paid out.

In addition to the provisions of this Paragraph B.6, the Participant agrees that he or she will be bound by the terms of the Company's Compensation Recovery Policy for Covered

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

Executives (or any successor policy), as applicable, and any Company compensation clawback policy applicable to the Participant that the Company may adopt from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Equitable Relief</u>. In the event the Company determines that the Participant has breached or attempted or threatened to breach any term of Paragraph B, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity the Company may have available to it, it is agreed that the Company shall be entitled, upon application to any court of proper jurisdiction, to a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction (without the necessity of (a) proving irreparable harm, (b) establishing that monetary damages are inadequate or (c) posting any bond with respect thereto) against the Participant prohibiting such breach or attempted or threatened breach by proving only the existence of such breach or attempted or threatened breach.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Extension of Restrictive Period</u>. The Participant agrees that the period during which the covenants contained in this Paragraph B shall be effective shall be computed by excluding from such computation any time during which the Participant is in violation of any provision of Paragraph B.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Acknowledgments</u>. The Company and the Participant agree that it was their intent to enter into a valid and enforceable agreement. The Participant and the Company thereby acknowledge, to the extent permissible by applicable laws and rules, the reasonableness of the restrictions set forth in Paragraph B, including the reasonableness of the geographic area, duration as to time and scope of activity restrained. To the extent permissible by applicable laws and rules, the Participant further acknowledges that his or her skills are such that he or she can be gainfully employed in noncompetitive employment and that the agreement not to compete will not prevent him or her from earning a living. The Participant agrees that if any covenant contained in Paragraph B of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to contain limitations as to time, geographical area, or scope of activity that are not reasonable and impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interest of the Company, then the court shall reform the covenant to the extent necessary to cause the limitations contained in the covenant as to time, geographical area, and scope of activity to be restrained to be reasonable and to impose a restraint that is not greater than necessary to protect the goodwill and other business interests of the Company and to enforce the covenants as reformed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Provisions Independent</u>. The covenants on the part of the Participant in this Paragraph B shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other agreement, including any employee benefit agreement, and independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of the Participant against the Company, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Notification of Subsequent Employer</u>. The Participant agrees that the Company may notify any person or entity employing the Participant or evidencing an intention of employing the Participant of the existence and provisions of this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Transfers to a Related Entity</u>. In the event the Participant transfers to a Related Entity as a result of actions by PepsiCo, any reference to "Company" in this Paragraph B shall be deemed to refer to such Related Entity in addition to the Company.

**C. <u>Additional Terms and Conditions</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Adjustment for Change in PepsiCo Common Stock</u>. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of PepsiCo Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares, spin-off or other similar corporate change, the number and type of shares to which the RSUs held by the Participant relate shall be adjusted, as may be, and to such extent (if any), determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Nontransferability</u>. Unless the Committee specifically determines otherwise: (a) the RSUs are personal to the Participant, and (b) the RSUs shall not be transferable or assignable, other than in the case of the Participant's death by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported transfer or assignment shall be null and void.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Definitions</u>. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) "**Cause"** means the occurrence of any of the following acts provided they are determined in good faith and with commercial reasonableness to be materially adverse to the Company's best interests after consideration of all the relevant facts and the totality of the circumstances: (i) knowingly breaching any contract; provided, however that if such breach is reasonably capable of being cured, the Company shall first provide written notification of the occurrence of the breach to the Participant sufficiently detailing such breach and the Participant shall have a reasonable period of time not to exceed fifteen (15) days after the Participant's actual receipt of such notice to cure such breach to the reasonable, good faith satisfaction of the Company; (ii) violating any obligation to the Company, including the Company's Code of Conduct, Insider Trading Policy or any other written policies of the Company which have been provided to the Participant prior to the commission of such violation; (iii) unlawfully trading in the securities of PepsiCo or of any other company based on information gained as a result of the Participant's employment with the Company; (iv) committing acts involving gross misconduct in the performance of employment duties, dishonesty, fraud, illegality, or moral turpitude, or that cause or contribute to the need for an accounting adjustment to PepsiCo's financial results; or (v) knowingly engaging in gross misconduct that is detrimental to or reflects unfavorably upon the Company or its brands, services, or products; provided, however that nothing in this paragraph is intended to bar the Participant from engaging in Protected Activity (as defined in Paragraph B.2 above).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) "**Covered Customer"** are those the Participant engaged with, supervised dealings with, or obtained or had access to Confidential Information about during the Look Back Period. If New York law controls, a Covered Customer will not include a customer of Company that was a pre-existing customer of the Participant that became a customer of the Company solely as a

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) "**Fair Market Value**" of a share of PepsiCo Common Stock on any date shall mean an amount equal to the average of the high and low market prices at which a share of PepsiCo Common Stock shall have been sold on such date, or the immediately preceding trading day if such date was not a trading day, as reported by Bloomberg, L.P., or any successor thereto or any other financial reporting service selected by PepsiCo in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) "**Look Back Period**" means the three (3) years prior to the Participant's termination of employment with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) "**Participation**" shall be construed broadly to include, without limitation: (i) serving as a director, officer, employee consultant or contractor with respect to such a business entity; (ii) providing input, advice, guidance or suggestions to such a business entity; or (iii) providing a recommendation or testimonial on behalf of such a business entity or one or more products it produces.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) "**Related Entity**" shall mean any entity (i) as to which PepsiCo directly or indirectly owns 20% or more, but less than a majority, of the entity's voting securities, general partnership interests, or other voting or management rights at the relevant time and (ii) which the Committee or its delegate deems in its sole discretion to be a related entity at the relevant time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) "**Total Disability**" shall mean being considered totally disabled under the PepsiCo Long-Term Disability Program (as amended and restated from time to time), with such status having resulted in benefit payments from such plan or another Company-sponsored disability plan and 12 months having elapsed during which the Participant was so considered to be disabled from the cause of the current disability. The effective date of a Participant's Total Disability shall be the first day that all of the foregoing requirements are met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Notices</u>. Any notice to be given to PepsiCo in connection with the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to PepsiCo at 700 Anderson Hill Road, Purchase, New York 10577, Attention: Senior Vice President, Global Total Rewards, or such other address as PepsiCo may hereafter designate to the Participant. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, addressed as aforesaid, or when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper, addressed as aforesaid, and deposited, postage prepaid, with the federal postal service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Binding Effect</u>. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any assignee or successor in interest to PepsiCo, whether by merger, consolidation or the sale of all or substantially all of PepsiCo's assets. PepsiCo will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of PepsiCo expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that PepsiCo would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Participant or his or her legal representative and any person to whom the RSUs may be transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>No Contract of Employment; Agreement's Survival</u>. This Agreement is not a contract of employment. This Agreement does not impose on the Company any obligation to retain the Participant in its employ and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company to terminate the Participant's employment relationship at any time. This Agreement shall survive the termination of the Participant's employment for any reason. If an entity ceases to be a majority-owned subsidiary of PepsiCo for purposes of Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or a Related Entity, such cessation shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be a termination of employment with the Company with respect to any Participant employed by such entity, unless the Committee or its delegate determines otherwise in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Registration, Listing and Qualification of Shares of PepsiCo Common Stock</u>. The Committee may require that the Participant make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the Committee deems appropriate to assure compliance with or exemption from the requirements of any securities exchange, any foreign, federal, state or local law, any governmental regulatory body, or any other applicable legal requirement, and PepsiCo Common Stock shall not be issued unless and until the Participant makes such representations and agreements and furnishes such information as the Committee deems appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Amendment; Waiver</u>. The terms and conditions of this Agreement may be amended in writing by the chief people officer or chief legal officer of PepsiCo (or either of their delegates);

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

provided, however, that (i) no such amendment shall adversely affect the awards granted hereunder without the Participant's written consent (except to the extent the Committee reasonably determines that such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law, including the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "**Code**") and the regulations thereunder pertaining to the deferral of compensation, or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which PepsiCo Common Stock is listed or quoted); and (ii) the amendment must be permitted under the Plan. The Company's failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or failure to exercise, or any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or any such right, power or remedy which the Board (as defined in the Plan), the Committee or the Company has under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Severability or Reform by Court</u>. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed by a court to be broader than permitted by applicable law, then such provision shall be reformed (or otherwise revised or narrowed) so that it is enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared by a court to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>Plan Terms</u>. The RSUs and the terms and conditions set forth herein are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any guidelines, policies or regulations which govern administration of the Plan. The Committee reserves its rights to amend or terminate the Plan at any time without the consent of the Participant; provided, however, that RSUs outstanding under the Plan at the time of such action shall not, without the Participant's written consent, be adversely affected thereby (except to the extent the Committee reasonably determines that such amendment or termination 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 PepsiCo Common Stock is listed or quoted). 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 that are not contrary to the terms of the Plan and that, in its opinion, may be necessary or advisable for the administration and operation of the Plan. All interpretations or determinations of the Committee or its delegate shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Participant (and his or her legal representatives and any recipient of a transfer of the RSUs permitted by this Agreement) on any question arising hereunder or under the Plan or other guidelines, policies or regulations which govern administration of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Participant Acknowledgements.</u> By entering into this Agreement, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the RSU grant will be exclusively governed by the terms of the Plan, this Agreement, and any other guidelines, policies or regulations that govern administration 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 for RSUs already granted under the Plan);

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Participant has been provided a copy of PepsiCo's Prospectus relating to the Plan and the RSUs (and the shares covered thereby);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the RSUs are not a constituent part of the Participant's salary and that the Participant is not entitled, under the terms and conditions of his or her employment, or by accepting or being awarded the RSUs pursuant to this Agreement, to require options, restricted stock units, performance stock units or other awards to be granted to him or her in the future under the Plan or any other plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) upon payment of RSUs the Participant will arrange for payment to the Company of an estimated amount to cover employee payroll taxes resulting from such payment, which payment shall be made in the manner set forth in this Agreement and/or, to the extent necessary, any balance may be withheld from the Participant's wages;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) notwithstanding any action taken by the Company, the Participant is ultimately liable for any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items ("Tax-Related Items") related to the Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect to the award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement and exercise of the award, the subsequent sale of PepsiCo Common Stock acquired pursuant to such award and the receipt of any dividends and/or dividend equivalents; and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of any Award to reduce or eliminate Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) benefits received under the Plan will be excluded from the calculation of termination indemnities or other severance payments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) in the event of termination of the Participant's employment, a severance or notice period to which the Participant may be entitled under local law and which follows the date of termination specified in a notice of termination or other document evidencing the termination of the Participant's employment will not be treated as active employment for purposes of this Agreement and, as a result, vesting of unvested RSUs will not be extended by any such period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) for purposes of this Agreement, a Participant will be considered actively employed during (i) the first six months of an authorized leave of absence (other than a severance leave) approved by the Company, in its sole discretion, or (ii) other statutory leaves that have requirements in excess of six months;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Participant will seek all necessary approvals under, make all required notifications under and comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the ownership of stock, including, without limitation, currency and exchange laws, rules and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) this Agreement will be interpreted and applied so that the RSUs, to the extent possible, will not be subject to Code Section 409A based upon Code Section 409A's exemption for short-

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

term deferrals. For this purpose and, if necessary, for compliance with Code Section 409A, each tranche of RSUs, which is identified by a separate RSU Vesting Date, shall be considered a separate award, and payment "as soon as practicable" means payment in 30 days or less. To the extent RSUs are subject to Code Section 409A, then payment of the RSUs will be made only upon the occurrence of the first of the following events on which the award is vested: (i) each RSU Vesting Date; (ii) a Change in Control that qualifies under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) (a "**409A CIC**"), and (iii) a termination of employment if it constitutes a Code Section 409A separation from service and if (A) it is an involuntary termination of employment by the Company without Cause, or (B) it occurs within two years after a 409A CIC (and in this case, the six-month delay of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) shall apply to "specified employees," determined under the default rules of Code Section 409A or such other rules as apply generally under the Company's Section 409A plans). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement will be modified to the extent the Committee reasonably determines is necessary or appropriate for such RSUs to be exempt from Code Section 409A or, if that is not possible, to comply with Code Section 409A;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) the non-disclosure provisions set forth in Paragraph B.2. supersede and replace in their entirety the non-disclosure provisions set forth in the Plan as in effect on the date hereof, in any agreement evidencing an Award made under the Plan and in any other Awards made under the Plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) the Participant will not receive any benefits under this Agreement if the Participant does not timely accept the Agreement as presented.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Right of Set-Off</u>. The Participant agrees, in the event that the Company in its reasonable judgment determines that the Participant owes the Company any amount due to any loan, note, obligation or indebtedness, including but not limited to amounts owed to the Company pursuant to the Company's tax equalization program or the Company's policies with respect to travel and business expenses, and if the Participant has not satisfied such obligation(s), then the Company may satisfy such obligation(s) by one or a combination of (i) instructing the plan administrator to withhold and/or sell all or a portion of the shares of PepsiCo Common Stock acquired by the Participant upon settlement of the RSUs (to the extent such RSUs are not subject to Code Section 409A), (ii) deducting all or a portion of other funds due to the Participant from the Company (to the extent such funds are not subject to Code Section 409A), or (iii) to the maximum extent permitted by Code Section 409A, withholding such RSUs, or other funds that are due to the Participant (to the extent Code Section 409A applies in each case).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Electronic Delivery and Acceptance</u>. The Participant hereby consents and agrees to electronic delivery of any Plan documents, proxy materials, annual reports and other related documents. The Participant hereby consents to any and all procedures that the Company has established or may establish for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of Plan documents (including documents relating to any programs adopted under the Plan), and agrees that his or her electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, his or her manual signature. Participant consents and agrees that any such procedures and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

delivery may be effected by a third party engaged by the Company to provide administrative services related to the Plan, including any program adopted under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Data Privacy</u>. Participant hereby acknowledges and consents to the collection, use, processing and/or transfer of Personal Data as defined and described in this Paragraph C.14. Participant is not obliged to consent, however a failure to provide consent, or the withdrawal of consent at any time, may impact Participant's ability to participate in the Plan. The Company and/or Participant's employer collects and maintains certain personal information about Participant that may include name, home address and telephone number, email address, date of birth, social security number or other government or employer-issued identification number, salary grade, hire data, salary, citizenship, job title, any shares of PepsiCo Common Stock, or details of all options, restricted stock units, performance stock units or any other entitlement to shares of PepsiCo Common Stock awarded, cancelled, purchased, vested, or unvested (collectively "Personal Data"). The Company and the Participant's employer will transfer Personal Data internally as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Participant's participation in the Plan and the Company and/or the Participant's employer may further transfer Personal Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area or UK, or elsewhere throughout the world, such as the United States. The Participant hereby authorizes (where required under applicable law) the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Personal Data, in electronic or other form, as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of any shares of PepsiCo Common Stock on the Participant's behalf, to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any shares of PepsiCo Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan. Third parties retained by the Company may use the Personal Data as authorized by the Company to provide the requested services. Third parties may be located throughout the world, including but not limited to the United States. Third parties often maintain their own published policies that describe their privacy and security practices. The Company is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of any third parties. Participant may access, review or amend certain Personal Data by contacting the Company and/or the Plan's service provider. The Participant may, at any time, exercise the Participant's rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to (i) obtain confirmation as to the existence of Personal Data, (ii) verify the content, origin and accuracy of Personal Data, (iii) request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of Personal Data, (iv) oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Personal Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation, administration and/or operation of the Plan and the Participant's participation in the Plan, and (v) withdraw the Participant's consent to the collection, processing or transfer of Personal Data as provided hereunder (in which case, the stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units or any other entitlement to shares of PepsiCo Common Stock awarded will become null and void). The Participant may seek to exercise these rights by contacting the Participant's human resources business partner or the Company's People Department, who may direct the matter to the applicable Company privacy official. Finally, the Participant understands that the Company may rely on a different legal basis for the processing and/or transfer of Personal Data in the future and/or request the Participant to provide another data privacy consent. If applicable and upon

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;** 

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

request of the Company, the Participant agrees to provide an executed acknowledgment or data privacy consent (or any other acknowledgments, agreements or consents) to the Company or the employer that the Company and/or the employer may deem necessary to obtain under the data privacy laws in the Participant's country, either now or in the future. The Participant understands that the Participant will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to execute any such acknowledgment or consent requested by the Company and/or the employer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. <u>Stock Ownership/Exercise & Hold Guidelines</u>. The Participant agrees as a condition of this grant that, in the event that the Participant is or becomes subject to the Company's Stock Ownership, Exercise & Hold Guidelines or Share Retention Policy, the Participant shall not sell any shares of PepsiCo Common Stock obtained upon settlement of the RSUs unless such sale complies with the Stock Ownership, Exercise & Hold Guidelines and Share Retention Policy as in effect from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. <u>Governing Law</u>. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraphs C.10 and C.11, this Agreement shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is a resident of, or primarily works for the Company, in the State of California at the time that Participant enters into this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be governed, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Moreover, if Participant is a resident of, or primarily works for the Company, in the State of California at the time that Participant enters into this Agreement, or if the restrictions set forth in Paragraph B.1. are otherwise prohibited by applicable laws or rules, then the restrictions set forth in paragraph B.1 shall not apply to Participant. The restrictions set forth in Paragraphs B.1. otherwise apply to all other Participants, to the extent permissible by applicable laws and rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. <u>Choice of Venue; Attorneys' Fees</u>. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraphs C.10 and C.11, any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement may be brought against the Participant or the Company only in the courts of the State of New York or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the Participant and the Company consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. In the event that a Participant or the Company brings an action to enforce the terms of the Plan or this Agreement and the Company prevails, the Participant shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with that action, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and all further costs and fees, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Company in connection with the collection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant is a resident of, or primarily works for the Company, in the State of California at the time that Participant enters into this Agreement, then any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement may be brought against the Participant or the Company only in the courts of the State of California or, if they have or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Courts located in the State of California, and the Participant and the Company consent to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waive any objection to venue laid therein.

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. <u>Addendum to Agreement</u>. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the RSUs shall be subject to such special terms and conditions for the Participant's country of residence (and country of employment, if different), as are set forth in the addendum to this Agreement (the "**Addendum**"). Further, if the Participant transfers residency and/or employment to another country, any special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the RSUs to the extent the Committee or its duly authorized delegate determines, in its sole discretion, that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local laws, rules or regulations or to facilitate the operation and administration of the RSUs and the Plan (or the Committee or its duly authorized delegate may establish alternative terms and conditions as may be necessary or advisable to accommodate the Participant's transfer). In all circumstances, the Addendum shall constitute part of this Agreement.
