What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
 
Most of our shareholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.
 
Shareholder of Record.  If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, The Bank of New York Mellon, you are considered the shareholder of record of those shares, and the Notice was sent directly to you by PBG. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person, please call 914-767-6267 or email shareholder.relations@pepsi.com so that we may send you an admission card.
 
Beneficial Owner.  If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the Notice was forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you request a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

person, please call 914-767-6114 or email shareholder.relations@pepsi.com so that we may send you an admission card.
 
Beneficial Owner.  If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the Notice was forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
 
Most of our shareholders hold their shares through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.
 
Shareholder of Record.  If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, The Bank of New York, you are considered the shareholder of record of those shares, and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by PBG. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. We have enclosed a proxy card for you to use. If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person, please check the “Annual Meeting” box on the proxy card so that we may send you an admission card.
 
Beneficial Owner.  If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you request, complete and deliver a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee. If you are the beneficial owner of shares, your broker, bank or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card (in lieu of a proxy card) for you to use in directing the broker, bank or nominee regarding how to vote your shares.
