Exhibit 99.2
PepsiCo Announces Early Results and Increase
of Maximum Tender Amount for Cash Tender Offers for Certain Outstanding Debt Securities
PURCHASE, N.Y. – Oct. 21, 2021
– PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) today announced that, in connection with its previously announced cash tender offers (collectively,
the “Offers”) for up to $4.0 billion aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including,
the settlement date and excluding fees and expenses related to the Offers) of the debt securities identified in the table below (collectively,
the “Securities” and each referred to as a “series” of Securities) from each registered holder of Securities (individually,
a “Holder,” and collectively, the “Holders”), approximately $4.1 billion in combined aggregate principal amount
of Securities was validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 20, 2021 (the
“Early Tender Deadline”), in the aggregate amounts as shown in the table below. PepsiCo also today announced it has amended
the Offers to increase the previously announced Maximum Tender Amount from $4.0 billion to an amount that is sufficient to allow PepsiCo
to accept for purchase all Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by the Early Tender Deadline (excluding accrued and unpaid
interest to, but not including, the settlement date and excluding fees and expenses related to the Offers) (the “Amended Maximum
Tender Amount”). Subject to the Amended Maximum Tender Amount, the Offers and order of priority (the “Acceptance Priority
Levels”) set forth in the table below are as described in in the Offer to Purchase dated October 6, 2021, as amended or supplemented
(the “Offer to Purchase”). The determination of the Total Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) will occur at
9:00 a.m., New York City time, on October 21, 2021. The early settlement date is expected to occur on October 25, 2021.
As described in the Offer to Purchase, Securities
validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for purchase in priority to other
Securities validly tendered following the Early Tender Deadline even if such Securities validly tendered following the Early Tender Deadline
have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than Securities validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline. Although the Offers
are scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 3, 2021, because the Amended Maximum Tender Amount will equal
the aggregate purchase price required to accept all Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by the Early Tender Deadline,
PepsiCo does not expect to accept for purchase any tenders of Securities after the Early Tender Deadline. Any Securities tendered after
the Early Tender Deadline will be promptly credited to the account of the Holder of such Securities maintained at The Depository Trust
Company and otherwise returned in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.
The terms and conditions of the Offers are
described in the Offer to Purchase and remain unchanged except as amended hereby.
