Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
  (a)   On July 31, 2007, PepsiCo, Inc. (the “Company”) updated its U.S. $2.5 billion Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the “Programme”), following the expiration of its existing programme. Under the Programme, the Company may issue unsecured notes (the “Notes”) with such terms, including currency, rate and maturity, as agreed by the Company and the purchasers of such Notes at the time of sale. The Notes are issued pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Agency Agreement dated July 31, 2007 by and among the Company and The Bank of New York, which is supplemental to the Restated and Amended Agency Agreement dated July 21, 2006, (the “Agency Agreement”), and a Deed of Covenant dated July 21, 2006 made by the Company (the “Deed of Covenant”). In connection therewith, the Company also entered into a Supplemental Programme Agreement dated July 31, 2007, which is supplemental to the Restated and Amended Programme Agreement dated July 21, 2006, with the dealers (the “Dealers”) named therein (the “Programme Agreement”). Copies of the Programme Agreement, the Agency Agreement and the Deed of Covenant are included in this Form 8-K as Exhibits 1.1, 1.2, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Programme does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agency Agreement, the Programme Agreement and the Deed of Covenant.
 
      At this time, the Company has not issued any Notes pursuant to the Programme. Proceeds from any issuance of Notes may be used for general corporate purposes, except as otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
 
      Notes issued under the Programme are issued pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), are not registered under the Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person absent registration or an applicable exemption from the requirements of the Act.
 
      In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, the Dealers and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in commercial banking and/or investment banking transactions with the Company and its affiliates.
 
  (b)   Effective August 1, 2007, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement dated May 22, 2006 among the Company, as borrower, the lenders thereunder (collectively, the “Lenders”), and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”) to increase the amount which the Company may borrow from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion. Copies of the Credit Agreement and all amendments thereto are included in this Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, as amended.
