OTHER
INFORMATION
Householding. The SEC’s
rules permit us to deliver a single Notice or set of proxy
materials to one address shared by two or more of our
shareholders. This delivery method is referred to as
“householding” and can result in significant cost
savings. To take advantage of this opportunity, we have
delivered only one Notice or one proxy statement and annual
report to multiple shareholders who share an address, unless we
received contrary instructions from the impacted shareholders
prior to the mailing date. We agree to deliver promptly, upon
written or oral request, a separate copy of the Notice or proxy
materials, as requested, to any shareholder at the shared
address to which a single copy of those documents was delivered.
If you prefer to receive separate copies of the Notice or proxy
materials, contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. at
1-800-542-1061
or in writing at Broadridge, Householding Department, 51
Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.
Year 2010 Shareholders’
Proposals. We welcome comments or suggestions
from our shareholders. If a shareholder wants to have a proposal
formally considered, including recommendations for director, at
the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our Bylaws provide that
the proposal must be included in the proxy materials for that
meeting, and we must receive notice of the proposal in writing
on or before December 8, 2009. The proposal will need to
comply with
Rule 14a-8
of the Exchange Act, which lists the requirements for the
inclusion of shareholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy
materials. Please see the section entitled “Corporate
Governance — Consideration of Director Nominees”
for a description of the procedures to be followed for
shareholder recommendations for director. Proposals should be
sent to the Secretary of The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. at One
Pepsi Way, Somers, New York, 10589.
By Order of the Board of Directors,
Steven M. Rapp
Secretary
