Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On June 10, 2013, PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) entered into a new $2.875 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Five-Year Credit Agreement”) by and among PepsiCo, as borrower, the lenders named therein, and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent.  The Five-Year Credit Agreement and the new $2.875 billion 364-day unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “2013 364-Day Credit Agreement”) by and among PepsiCo, as borrower, the Lenders named therein, and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, together replace the 2011 Credit Agreement (as defined below) and the 2011 364-Day Credit Agreement (as defined below).
 
The Five-Year Credit Agreement enables PepsiCo and its borrowing subsidiaries to borrow up to $2.875 billion, subject to customary terms and conditions, and expires on June 10, 2018.  PepsiCo may also, upon the agreement of either the then existing lenders or of additional banks not currently party to the Five-Year Credit Agreement, increase the commitments under the Five-Year Credit Agreement to up to $3.5 billion.  PepsiCo may, once a year, request renewal of the Five-Year Credit Agreement for an additional one-year period.  Subject to certain conditions stated in the Five-Year Credit Agreement, PepsiCo and its borrowing subsidiaries may borrow, prepay and reborrow amounts under the Five-Year Credit Agreement at any time during the term of the Five-Year Credit Agreement.  Funds borrowed under the Five-Year Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes of PepsiCo and its subsidiaries.  The Five-Year Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and events of default.  As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Five-Year Credit Agreement.
 
The foregoing description of the Five-Year Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Five-Year Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
 
In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, the lenders under the Five-Year Credit Agreement and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in commercial banking and/or investment banking transactions with PepsiCo and its affiliates.
