Salomon Smith Barney Inc. shall purchase $210,000,000.00 and Credit Suisse First Boston shall purchase $90,000,000.00 of the Debt Securities. The Underwriters have advised PepsiCo that they intend to offer all or part of the Debt Securities directly to the public initially at the Initial Offering Price of such Debt Securities. After the Debt Securities are released for sale to the public, the offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the Underwriters.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Debt Securities will be treated as Fixed Rate Debt Securities, issued without OID. This treatment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the final OID regulations.

The Underwriters and certain of their affiliates have provided financial and commercial banking services for PepsiCo from time to time, in the ordinary course of business.
