The 5.75% Debt Securities Due January 15, 2008 (the "Debt  Securities")  will be
purchased by the  Underwriters,  severally and not jointly,  at 98.161% of their
principal  amount,  and  will be  offered  to the  public  at  98.604%  of their
principal amount (the "Initial Offering  Price").  The Underwriters have advised
PepsiCo that they intend to offer all or part of the Debt Securities directly to
the public  initially  at the Initial  Offering  Price of such Debt  Securities.
After the Debt  Securities  are  released  for sale to the public,  the offering
price  and  other  selling  terms  may  from  time  to  time  be  varied  by the
Underwriters.

For U.S.  federal income tax purposes,  the Debt  Securities  will be treated as
Fixed Rate Debt  Securities,  issued  without OID. This  treatment is consistent
with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and  the  final  OID  regulations,   which  are  generally  effective  for  debt
instruments issued on or after April 4, 1994.

The  Underwriters  and certain of their  affiliates have provided  financial and
commercial  banking  services  for PepsiCo  from time to time,  in the  ordinary
course of business.
