Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 22, 2006, PepsiCo, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new five year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among: the Company, as borrower; the banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who may serve as lenders thereunder (collectively, the “Lenders”); and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent.
The Credit Agreement establishes an unsecured revolving credit facility under which the Company may borrow up to $1.5 billion. The Company may also, upon the agreement of either the then existing Lenders or of additional banks not currently party to the Credit Agreement, increase the commitments under the Credit Agreement up to $2.0 billion. Subject to certain conditions stated in the Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow, prepay and reborrow amounts under the Credit Agreement at any time during the term of the Credit Agreement. Funds borrowed may be used for general corporate purposes, including supporting outstanding commercial paper issuances of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement terminates on May 22, 2011. Interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Agreement will be based on prevailing interest rates, as further described in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and events of default.
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, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated by reference herein.
At this time, the Company has not borrowed any funds under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s previous $2.1 billion of credit facilities (the “Prior Credit Facilities”). There were no outstanding borrowings under the Prior Credit Facilities at the time of their termination.
In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, the Lenders 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.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
