Exhibit 99.2
PepsiCo Announces Pricing Terms for Cash Tender
Offers for Certain Outstanding Debt Securities
PURCHASE, N.Y. – Oct. 21, 2021
– PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) today announced the pricing terms of its previously announced cash tender offers (collectively, the
“Offers”) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,833,741,816.04, which is an amount sufficient to allow PepsiCo to purchase
the aggregate principal amount expected to be accepted for purchase, as indicated in the table below, of the debt securities identified
therein (collectively referred to as the “Securities” and each referred to as a “series” of Securities) validly
tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Early Tender Deadline referenced below (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to,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”)
from each registered holder of Securities (individually, a “Holder,” and collectively, the “Holders”). 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 the Offer to Purchase dated October 6, 2021, as amended or supplemented (the “Offer to Purchase”).
The “Total Consideration” for
each series per $1,000 principal amount of Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers was determined
by reference to the applicable fixed spread over the yield to maturity based on the bid side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security,
in each case as set forth in the table below, and is payable to Holders of the Securities who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw
their Securities at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 20, 2021 (the “Early Tender Deadline”) and whose Securities
are accepted for purchase by PepsiCo. The Reference Yields (as determined pursuant to the Offer to Purchase) listed in the table were
determined at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, today, October 21, 2021, by the dealer managers (identified below). The Total Consideration
for each series of Securities includes an early tender premium of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities validly tendered and not
validly withdrawn by such Holders and accepted for purchase by PepsiCo.

| (1) | Includes
the Early Tender Premium. |
| (2) | Per
$1,000 principal amount of the Securities that are tendered and accepted for purchase. |
| (3) | At
the Early Tender Deadline. |
All payments for Securities purchased in connection
with the Early Tender Deadline will also include accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Securities purchased, from the
last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Securities up to, but not including, the early settlement date, which
is expected to occur on October 25, 2021.
PepsiCo expects to accept for purchase on
the early settlement date the aggregate principal amount of each series of the Securities set forth in the column titled “Aggregate
Principal Amount Expected to be Accepted for Purchase” in the table above.
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 equals 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.
In accordance with the terms of the Offers,
the withdrawal deadline was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 20, 2021. As a result, tendered Securities may not be withdrawn,
except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by PepsiCo).
PepsiCo reserves the absolute right, subject
to applicable law, to: (i) waive any and all conditions to the Offers; (ii) extend or terminate the Offers; (iii) increase or decrease
the Amended Maximum Tender Amount without extending the Early Tender Deadline or the Withdrawal Deadline; or (iv) otherwise amend the
Offers in any respect.
