BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD. PepsiCo's Board held six
regular meetings and one telephonic meeting during the year. All outside
directors serve on the three Board Committees.
<PAGE> 6
The Audit Committee, which was established in 1967, held two meetings
in 1998. The Audit Committee reviews external and internal audit plans and
activities, the Corporation's annual financial statements, and its system of
internal financial controls. The Audit Committee approves the fees for audit,
audit-related and nonaudit services provided by the independent auditors, and
recommends to the Board the annual selection of independent auditors.
The Compensation Committee, which has been active since 1955, held four
meetings during 1998. The Compensation Committee administers PepsiCo's incentive
plans, sets policies that govern executives' annual compensation and long-term
incentives, and reviews management performance, compensation, development and
succession.
The Nominating Committee, which was established in 1997, held two
meetings during the year. The Nominating Committee identifies candidates for
future Board membership and proposes criteria for Board candidates and
candidates to fill Board vacancies, as well as a slate of directors for election
by the shareholders at each annual meeting. The Committee annually assesses and
reports to the Board on Board and Board Committee performance and effectiveness;
reviews and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the composition, size
and structure of the Board and its Committees; and annually reviews and reports
to the Board on Directors' compensation and benefits. The Committee does not
solicit director nominations, but will consider recommendations sent to the
Secretary of PepsiCo at 700 Anderson Hill Road, Purchase, New York 10577.
Average attendance by incumbent directors at Board and Committee
meetings was approximately 98%. No incumbent director attended fewer than 75% of
the total number of Board and Committee meetings.
DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION. Directors who are employees receive no
additional pay for serving as directors. All other directors receive their
annual retainer and other compensation entirely in stock options granted at the
current market price to purchase shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock. At the time of
the grant, directors may elect to exchange a portion of these stock options for
cash or PepsiCo Capital Stock. The cash or PepsiCo Capital Stock received is
equal to 1/3 of the exercise price of the option. If a director elects to
exchange the maximum allowable, he or she would receive $70,000 in cash, $30,000
worth of PepsiCo Capital Stock and options to purchase $30,000 worth of PepsiCo
Capital Stock. Directors may also choose to defer payment of any cash or PepsiCo
Capital Stock otherwise receivable by them as a result of this exchange
election. If a stock grant is deferred, the only investment option available is
PepsiCo Capital Stock equivalents, which are payable in cash at the end of the
deferral period. If cash is deferred, the directors may elect deferral in
PepsiCo Capital Stock equivalents or in investment options similar to those
offered under PepsiCo's 401(k) program. Deferral may not be made for less than
one year.
PepsiCo paid Wayne Calloway, PepsiCo's former Chief Executive Officer,
$48,077 in salary and $1,750,000 as a retirement payment in 1998.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
Executive Pay Policy
PepsiCo's executive compensation programs are designed to enable it to
recruit, retain and motivate a large group of talented and diverse domestic and
international executives. This is essential for PepsiCo to achieve its
challenging worldwide performance objectives and to continue to achieve
<PAGE> 7
outstanding shareholder returns. As a result, the Committee has determined that
executive compensation opportunities, including those for PepsiCo's Chief
Executive Officer ("CEO"), should create incentives for superior performance and
consequences for below target performance.
The Compensation Committee annually examines short-term and long-term
compensation levels for the CEO and other senior executives against a survey of
the compensation practices of a group of leading consumer product companies.
This review is validated against surveys of the compensation practices of a
broader range of major companies, including the Fortune 50. Together these
companies are referred to as the "survey companies." These reviews also compare
PepsiCo's short and long-term results with the performance of the survey
companies, to ensure a pay for performance linkage. The survey companies include
some, but not all, of the companies covered in the Standard & Poor's 500
Beverage and Food Indices included on the Performance Graph on page 12.
The Committee believes that our executive compensation programs have
met their objectives. PepsiCo has been able to attract and retain the executive
talent necessary to support a corporation with a long-term history of strong
sales growth and superior shareholder returns.
Specific Compensation Programs
PepsiCo's executive compensation mix includes a base salary, annual
cash bonus awards, and long-term incentive compensation in the form of
performance units and stock options. Overall, these programs are intended to be
performance-oriented, with the principal portion of executive compensation
opportunities tied to achievement of earnings, sales volume and cash flow
objectives and long-term shareholder returns. It is the Committee's intention
that substantially all executive compensation be deductible for federal income
tax purposes.
Salary ranges for the CEO and the other executive officers are based on
the underlying accountabilities of each executive's position, which are reviewed
on a regular basis and benchmarked against similar positions among the survey
companies. These salary ranges are targeted above the average salaries for
similar positions at the survey companies. However, individual salaries are
capped at $1 million.
Bonus awards for PepsiCo's CEO and executive officers are paid based on
PepsiCo's overall performance against specified earnings targets set in advance
in accordance with the shareholder approved 1994 Executive Incentive
Compensation Plan. The amount of the award an executive is eligible to receive
will increase if higher earnings per share targets are achieved. No payment will
be made if the minimum earnings target is not met. Once those earnings targets
are achieved, the Committee exercises its discretion to determine the exact
amount of the bonus to be paid to each executive officer. In determining the
bonus of executive officers other than the CEO, the Committee considers
PepsiCo's earnings and sales volume performance. The CEO's bonus is based on the
Committee's subjective assessment of a broad range of performance measures,
including PepsiCo's financial results, strategic position, market share and
performance compared to the broad range of companies included in the survey
companies.
Long-term awards, made under the shareholder approved 1994 Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"), are generally granted annually in the form of
performance units and stock options. Pro rata and special awards have
occasionally been made off-cycle to participants. Performance units may be paid
after three years based on achieving cash flow and sales volume targets set in
advance by the Committee. Stock options are granted at market value on the date
of grant and increase in value only to the extent of appreciation in PepsiCo's
Capital Stock. Most become exercisable at the end of three years, and are
exercisable thereafter for seven years. PepsiCo's CEO and, in general, other
executive officers are given the opportunity to choose the mix of performance
units and stock options in their long-term awards. The CEO and most executives
have elected 100% stock options.
<PAGE> 8
PepsiCo's executives may also participate in the Company's benefit
programs, including the Company's retirement plans, its medical, savings and
other benefit plans and its SharePower Stock Option Plan, under which all
full-time employees receive grants of options to purchase shares of PepsiCo
stock equal in amount to 10-15% of that individual's previous year's salary and
bonus. Executive officers receive their annual SharePower awards under the LTIP.
In addition, executives are eligible to participate in the Company's income
deferral programs.
Performance Evaluation
The Committee meets without the CEO to evaluate his performance, and
with the CEO to evaluate the performance of other executive officers. The 1998
salaries, bonuses and long-term incentive awards for the corporation's CEO and
executive officers set forth on page 9 were reviewed and approved at meetings of
the Compensation Committee held during 1998 and in January 1999.
At Mr. Enrico's request, the Committee again approved a reduction in
Mr. Enrico's annual salary from $900,000 to $1, and recommended to the Board of
Directors that it consider using the savings to support front line employees. In
January 1999, the Board approved annual charitable contributions of
approximately $1,000,000 to fund additional scholarships for children of
PepsiCo's front line employees.
Decisions on executive officers' salaries and salary increases were
based on individual performance evaluations. As described above, decisions on
senior executive officers' bonus awards were based on PepsiCo's performance
against earnings and sales volume results.
The primary performance measures used to determine the CEO's 1998 bonus
award were earnings per share growth and revenue results, the strength of
PepsiCo's strategic position, and total return to shareholders as compared to
the survey companies. The overall performance measures were weighted
subjectively by each member of the Compensation Committee.
Long-term incentive awards were made to executive officers last year.
Long-term incentive levels for PepsiCo's CEO and other executive officers are
based on comparisons of award levels at the survey companies. The long-term
awards which are intended as incentives for future performance are not based on
past corporate performance, and are targeted above the average of awards for
similar positions at the survey companies.
The Performance Graph on page 12 compares PepsiCo's five year
cumulative total return to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and the
Standard & Poor's 500 Beverage and Food Indices. PepsiCo's compounded annual
total shareholder return for the five years ended December 26, 1998 was 18.3%.

$1, and recommended to the Board of Directors that it consider using the savings
to support front line employees.
(2) This amount is based on an award granted in 1994 that vested
as a result of PepsiCo's achievement of a predetermined cumulative earnings per
share growth target over the four-year period from 1994 to 1997. Mr. Reinemund
deferred payment of this amount.
(3) This amount is based on an award granted in 1992 that vested
as a result of PepsiCo's achievement of a predetermined cumulative earnings per
share growth target over the four-year period from 1992 to 1995. Mr. Enrico
deferredpayment of this amount.
(4) This amount includes benefits from the use of corporate
transportation ($114,894 in 1998, $68,552 in 1997, and $92,929 in 1996 for Mr.
Enrico; $42,617 in 1998 for Mr. Reinemund; $107,153 in 1998, $106,310 in 1997,
and $35,435 in 1996 for Mr. Weatherup. It also includes reimbursement of
$777,311
<PAGE> 10
relocation and tax related expenses incurred by Mr. Enrico in connection with
his new responsibilities as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in 1996).
(5) PepsiCo pays a portion of the annual cost of life insurance
policies on the lives of its key employees. These amounts are included here. If
a covered employee dies while employed by PepsiCo, PepsiCo is reimbursed for its
payments from the proceeds of the policy.
(6) Of this amount, $2,086 is for life insurance (see (5)) and
$9,612 is preferential earnings on income deferred by Mr. Weatherup since 1986.
In 1997, these amounts were $1,248 for life insurance and $14,154 is
preferential earnings on income. In 1996, these amounts were $1,471 and $4,318
respectively. In order to earn a preferential return, Mr. Weatherup elected a
risk feature under which, if he terminated his employment, he would forfeit all
his deferred income. Earnings for 1997 and 1998 on Mr. Weatherup's deferred
income were for four quarters.
(7) Mr. Sharpe began his employment with PepsiCo as Senior Vice
President, General Counsel and Secretary in January 1998.

<PAGE> 13
The pay covered by the Pension Plans noted below is based on the salary and
bonus shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page 9 for each of the named
executive officers. The years of credited service as of January 1, 1999 for the
executive officers named on the Summary Compensation Table who are eligible for
retirement benefits are as follows: Roger A. Enrico -- 27 years; Steven S
Reinemund -- 14 years; Craig E.Weatherup -- 24 years; and Robert F. Sharpe, Jr.
- -- 0 years.
Computation of Benefits. PepsiCo's executive officers generally participate
in PepsiCo's Retirement Plan and PepsiCo's Pension Equalization Plan (which has
been adopted to provide benefits that would have been payable under the
Retirement Plan except for ERISA limitations). The annual benefits payable under
these two Pension Plans to employees with 5 or more years of service at age 65
are, for the first 10 years of credited service, 30% of the employee's highest
consecutive five-year average annual earnings plus an additional 1% of the
employee's highest consecutive five-year average annual earnings for each
additional year of credited service over 10 years, less .43% of final average
earnings not to exceed Social Security covered compensation multiplied by years
of service (not to exceed 35 years).
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE. Section 16 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires PepsiCo's directors and executive
officers to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of PepsiCo
Capital Stock. To the best of PepsiCo's knowledge, all required forms were filed
on time, except that one transaction in PepsiCo Capital Stock equivalents by
Indra K. Nooyi, PepsiCo's Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy and
Development, was not timely reported on Securities and Exchange Commission Form
4. The omission was subsequently reported on Form 5.
APPROVAL OF AUDITORS (PROXY ITEM NO. 2)
The Audit Committee recommends that KPMG LLP continue as PepsiCo's
independent auditors for 1999. They have been PepsiCo's independent auditors
since 1990. They were paid approximately $8.1 million for audit and
audit-related services rendered for 1998. Representatives of KPMG LLP will be
available to answer questions at the Annual Meeting and are free to make
statements during the meeting.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THIS
RESOLUTION.
SHAREHOLDERS' PROPOSAL (PROXY ITEM NO. 3)
If proposals are submitted by more than one shareholder, PepsiCo will
only list the primary filer's name, address and number of shares held. We will
provide information about co-filers promptly if we receive a request for the
information.
Report on Executive Compensation - Financial and Social Accountability
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The School Sisters of St. Francis, US Province, 4127 N. Central Park,
Chicago, IL, 60618, who own 200 shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock, have, along
with other religious groups or institutions, submitted the following resolution
for the reasons stated:
<PAGE> 14
"We believe that both social and financial criteria should be
factors in fixing compensation packages for top corporate officers.
Public scrutiny on compensation is reaching a new intensity--not just
for the Chief Executive Officer, but for all executives. Too often, top
executives receive considerable increases in compensation packages even
when corporate financial performance is mediocre or poor and
stockholders watch dividends slip and stock prices drop.
Increases in CEO compensation continue to dwarf the
compensation increases enjoyed by employees. Between 1990 and 1996, CEO
cash compensation rose 90 percent, vastly exceeding a 19 percent
increase on factory wages and S&P 500 earnings growth of 78 percent.
(Business Week Survey of Executive Compensation; Bureau of Labor
Statistics)
In 1995, U.S. CEOs earned on average 209 times the average
factory workers pay, a dramatic rise from the 42 times reported in
1980.
Shareholders need to be vigilant and challenge executive pay
packages that reward bad social or financial corporate performance,
asking themselves: if top officers' pay for a given year should be
reduced if the company suffers from poor corporate citizenship that
harms our corporate image or costly fines, protracted litigation, loss
of government contracts, or significant loss of market share on their
watch; if CEO compensation should be affected if the company is faced
with consumer boycotts or public relations problems because of what
American Indians and other people of color call racially offensive
images; if a pattern of discrimination or sexual harassment should be
grounds for a decreased compensation package.
Companies, including Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eastman Kodak, IBM,
and Procter and Gamble, have reported to shareholders on how they
integrate these factors into their compensation packages, understanding
the importance of being socially responsible.
We believe these questions deserve the careful scrutiny of our
Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee and go beyond what
the SEC requires a company include in the annual proxy statement.
RESOLVED: Shareholders request the Board institute a special
Executive Compensation Review and prepare a report available to
shareholders four months from the date of the annual meeting, with the
results of the review and recommended changes in practice. This review
shall cover pay, benefits, perks, stock options, and special
arrangements in the compensation packages for top executives. The
review should focus on the following questions:
1. Ways to link executive compensation more closely to
financial performance with proposed criteria and formulae.
2. Ways to link compensation to social corporate performance
(e.g., incentives given for meeting or surpassing certain social and
performance standards).
3. Comparison of compensation packages for company officers
with lowest paid company employees in the U.S. and around the world.
4. Whether there should be a ceiling on top executives'
salaries to prevent our company from paying excessive compensation or a
ratio linking the top salary and the lowest salary.
5. Whether compensation should be frozen in the event of
massive layoffs."
<PAGE> 15
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSE: PepsiCo's executive compensation is
already closely tied to corporate financial performance as detailed in the
Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation, and individual salaries
are already capped. In fact, in 1999 Mr. Enrico again requested a reduction in
his annual salary to $1 and recommended to the Board of Directors that it
consider using the savings to fund scholarships for children of PepsiCo's sales
people, truck drivers, manufacturing plant workers and other front line
employees. Overall, PepsiCo's compensation programs are competitive and fair.
PepsiCo has long recognized the importance of being a good corporate
citizen and acts in a manner consistent with that. It meets or surpasses
generally accepted social and performance standards, and has been a leader in
many social areas. Accordingly, PepsiCo has not suffered from the sorts of
problems suggested. In fact, all PepsiCo executives sign a Code of Conduct which
reflects the company's strong commitment to its employees and the communities in
which it operates.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE AGAINST THIS
RESOLUTION.
OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be brought before
the Meeting. If matters other than the ones listed in this Proxy Statement arise
at the Meeting, the persons named in the proxy will vote the shares represented
by the proxy according to their judgment.
QUORUM AND VOTING
QUORUM. Under North Carolina law, abstentions and broker nonvotes are
counted to determine whether a quorum is present at the Meeting. (Under New York
Stock Exchange rules, a broker may, if the broker does not have instruction from
a beneficial owner, vote shares on routine proposals. A broker does not have
discretionary voting power with respect to nonroutine proposals, such as a
merger. If the broker has not received voting instructions regarding nonroutine
proposals from the beneficial owner, the broker cannot vote on those proposals.
This is referred to as a broker nonvote.)
VOTING. Any shareholder returning a proxy may revoke it by casting a
ballot at the Meeting. Any proxy not revoked will be voted as specified by the
shareholder. If no choice is indicated, a proxy will be voted in accordance with
the Board of Directors' recommendations.
Under PepsiCo's By-Laws, at all shareholder meetings, with a quorum
present, matters shall be decided by the vote of the holders of a majority of
the shares of Capital Stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote
(except that Directors shall be elected by a majority of votes cast).
Abstentions are not counted as "for" or "against" votes, but are counted in the
total number of votes present and entitled to vote for passage of a proposal.
This has the effect of requiring a higher vote for passage. Broker nonvotes are
not shares entitled to vote, are not counted in the total number of votes, and
have no effect on the outcome of voting.
Participants cannot vote shares held in PepsiCo's Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") unless a proxy card is signed and returned. If cards
representing shares held in the ESOP are not returned, the trustees will vote
those shares in the same proportion as the shares for which signed cards are
returned by other participants.
<PAGE> 16
CONFIDENTIALITY. PepsiCo's policy is that proxies identifying
individual shareholders are private except as necessary to determine compliance
with law or assert or defend legal claims, or in a contested proxy solicitation,
or in the event that a shareholder makes a written comment on a proxy card or an
attachment to it. PepsiCo retains an independent organization to tabulate
shareholder votes and certify voting results.
YEAR 2000 SHAREHOLDERS' PROPOSALS
PepsiCo welcomes comments or suggestions from its shareholders. If a
shareholder wants to have a proposal formally considered at the 1999 Annual
Shareholders' Meeting, and included in the Proxy Statement for that Meeting, we
must receive the proposal in writing on or before November 27, 1999. If a
proposal is received by February 10, 2000, PepsiCo may include it in the Proxy
Statement and, if it does, may use its discretionary authority to vote on the
proposal. For proposals that are not submitted by February 10, PepsiCo may use
its discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the Annual
Meeting, without inclusion of the proposal in its Proxy Statement.
GENERAL
PepsiCo will pay the costs relating to this Proxy Statement, the proxy
and the Annual Meeting.
In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, PepsiCo intends to
ask brokers and bank nominees to solicit proxies from their principals and will
pay the brokers and bank nominees their expenses for the solicitation.
To be sure that we have the necessary quorum to hold the Annual
Meeting, PepsiCo has hired the firm of Georgeson & Company, Inc. to help in
soliciting proxies by mail, telephone and personal interview for fees estimated
at approximately $21,000.
Employees of PepsiCo may also solicit proxies. They will not receive
any additional pay for the solicitation.
The Annual Report to Shareholders for 1998 and financial statements
were mailed with this Proxy Statement or were previously delivered to
shareholders and are not part of the material for the solicitation of proxies.
To reduce postage costs, we sent materials at bulk mail rates. If you have not
received the Annual Report by the time you receive your Proxy Statement, please
write or call PepsiCo's Manager of Shareholder Relations, at PepsiCo, Inc.,
Purchase, NY 10577 or (914) 253-3055.
Please complete, sign, and date the enclosed proxy card, which can be
revoked by voting at the meeting, and mail it promptly in the enclosed
postage-paid envelope.
By order of the Board of Directors,
ROBERT F. SHARPE, JR.
Secretary
