price changes in other equity and fixed-income investments. Participating employees in our deferred compensation program can elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation to be paid out on a future date or dates. As part of the deferral process, employees select from phantom investment options that determine the earnings on the deferred compensation liability and the amount that they will ultimately receive. Employee investment elections include PBG stock and a variety of other equity and fixed-income investment options.
 
Since the plan is unfunded, employees’ deferred compensation amounts are not directly invested in these investment vehicles. Instead, we track the performance of each employee’s investment selections and adjust his or her deferred compensation account accordingly. The adjustments to employees’ accounts increases or decreases the deferred compensation liability reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheets with an offsetting increase or decrease to our selling, delivery and administrative expenses.
 
We use prepaid forward contracts to hedge the portion of our deferred compensation liability that is based on our stock price. At December 27, 2008, we had a prepaid forward contract for 585,000 shares at a price of $22.00, which was accounted for as an economic hedge. This contract requires cash settlement and has a fair value at December 27, 2008, of $13 million recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of this contract changes based on the change in our stock price compared with the contract exercise price. We recognized an expense of $10 million and income of $5 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively, resulting from the change in fair value of these prepaid forward contracts. The earnings impact from these instruments is recorded in selling, delivery and administrative expenses.

Unfunded Deferred Compensation Liability
Our unfunded deferred compensation liability is subject to changes in our stock price, as well as price changes in certain other equity and fixed-income investments. Employee investment elections include PBG stock and a variety of other equity and fixed-income investment options. Since the plan is unfunded, employees’ deferred compensation amounts are not directly invested in these investment vehicles. Instead, we track the performance of each employee’s investment selections and adjust the employee’s deferred compensation account accordingly. The adjustments to the employees’ accounts increases or decreases the deferred compensation liability reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet with an offsetting increase or decrease to our selling, delivery and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We use prepaid forward contracts to hedge the portion of our deferred compensation liability that is based on our stock price. Therefore, changes in compensation expense as a result of changes in our stock price are substantially offset by the changes in the fair value of these contracts. We estimate that a 10 percent unfavorable change in the year-end stock price would have reduced the fair value from these forward contract commitments by $1 million and $2 million at December 27, 2008 and December 29, 2007, respectively.

other equity and fixed-income investments. Employee investment
elections include PBG stock and a variety of other equity and
fixed-income investment options. Since the plan is unfunded,
employees’ deferred compensation amounts are not directly
invested in these investment vehicles. Instead, we track the
performance of each employee’s investment selections and
adjust the employee’s deferred compensation account
accordingly. The adjustments to the employees’ accounts
increases or decreases the deferred compensation liability
reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet with an offsetting
increase or decrease to our selling, delivery and administrative
expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We use
prepaid forward contracts to hedge the portion of our deferred
compensation liability that is based on our stock price.
Therefore, changes in compensation expense as a result of
