         PEPSICO TO ACQUIRE THE QUAKER OATS COMPANY

         Acquisition Creates Big Growth Opportunities and
         Synergies Across Snack and Beverage Portfolio;
         Combination Also To Accelerate Leadership Changes

         PURCHASE, NY and CHICAGO, IL, Dec. 4 -- PepsiCo, Inc. and The Quaker
         Oats Company said today they have reached an agreement for PepsiCo to
         acquire Quaker in a tax-free transaction which features PepsiCo
         exchanging 2.3 shares of its stock for each share of Quaker, up to a
         maximum value of $105 for each Quaker share. There is no guaranteed
         price protection or "collar." However, if the value to Quaker
         shareholders falls below $92 per share, there is a provision for
         Quaker to exit the deal without penalty.

         The addition of Quaker is expected to be accretive to PepsiCo's
         earnings per share in the first full year and thereafter. The
         acquisition will immediately improve PepsiCo's return on invested
         capital by 200 basis points. The addition of Quaker will also enhance
         PepsiCo's ongoing sales and profit growth rates. The transaction will
         be accounted for as a pooling of interests and is expected to close in
         the first half of next year, subject to approval by PepsiCo and Quaker
         shareholders and expiration of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust waiting
         period and other customary approvals. PepsiCo also said the stock
         transaction would require the issuance of approximately 315 million
         new shares to Quaker shareholders.

         "This will be a truly outstanding combination," said Roger A. Enrico,
         PepsiCo Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Bringing together
         Quaker and PepsiCo creates a wealth of exciting growth opportunities
         as well as important cost and selling synergies. It is also very
         consistent with our sharp focus on convenient food and beverages."

         Quaker Chairman Robert S. Morrison said, "Over the last three years,
         The Quaker Oats Company has outpaced the growth of the U.S. food and
         beverage industry. It's a testament to our strong brands, talented
         people and operating effectiveness. Combining with the world-renowned
         PepsiCo organization will unleash the tremendous global growth
         potential of the Gatorade brand and leverage the strengths of our
         foods business."

         Roger Enrico also announced today that the PepsiCo board has accepted
         his recommendation to make several management changes when the
         transaction closes.

         "As this deal got closer to becoming a reality, our focus shifted to
         implementation and that's all about leadership, which is another great
         asset that PepsiCo and Quaker share," Enrico said. "Bob Morrison and
         the entire Quaker management team have done an outstanding job and we
         are looking forward to welcoming them to PepsiCo."

         "Thinking about Bob's role led me to reconsider my role and that of
         Steve Reinemund, our President and Chief Operating Officer, who we'd
         already decided would succeed me as CEO and Chairman," Enrico
         continued. "It became clear that Bob and I should share the same
         priorities -- working closely with Steve to ensure that PepsiCo stays
         on the steady course we've engineered over the last four years, and
         that the Quaker integration is quickly accretive from the top line to
         the bottom line and from a cash flow and people standpoint."

         "That led me to recommend several important moves to the Board, which
         they intend to make when the deal is completed. Bob Morrison and I
         will become Vice Chairmen, and Steve Reinemund will become Chairman
         and CEO. In addition, PepsiCo's Chief Financial Officer, Indra Nooyi,
         will become President at that time, while retaining her Chief
         Financial Officer responsibilities."

         "My commitment to PepsiCo is exactly the same and my timing has not
         changed," said Enrico. "Steve and I will continue working together
         closely as we have been this past year, sharing responsibilities for
         leading and running the company. Bob will join us in that partnership
         and we both look forward to working with him." Morrison, who will be
         nominated for election to the Board, will continue to serve as
         Chairman, President and CEO of Quaker when it becomes part of PepsiCo.
         Quaker will continue to be operated out of Chicago with Morrison's
         current leadership team.

         In her new role as President and CFO, Nooyi will also be nominated for
         election to the Board. She will be responsible for corporate staff
         functions, including legal, human resources and corporate
         communications, in addition to her current CFO duties overseeing
         finance, strategic planning, mergers and acquisitions, information
         technology, advanced technologies and procurement. "Indra's
         contributions to PepsiCo have been enormous and she will make a great
         President," said Enrico. "She is a terrific addition to our
         world-class board and her perspective will be invaluable."

         The acquisition of Quaker provides PepsiCo with several key strategic
         and economic benefits:

                    o Quaker's powerful Gatorade brand, the world's number one
               sports drink, will make PepsiCo the clear leader in
               non-carbonated beverages, the fastest growing sector of the
               beverage industry. Additionally, leveraging the much larger
               scale of Gatorade's vast warehouse distribution system will
               enable PepsiCo's Tropicana juice unit to gain the scale it needs
               to make its ambient juice brands stronger and more profitable.

<PAGE>

                    o Quaker's rapidly expanding snack business -- including
               granola bars, rice snacks and fruit and oatmeal bars -- is
               highly complementary to PepsiCo's Frito-Lay unit, the world
               leader in salty snacks. The Quaker brand will extend PepsiCo's
               reach into morning on-the-go meal occasions, snacks aimed at
               kids and grain-based snacks. Distributing Quaker's snacks
               through Frito-Lay's vast distribution system will create very
               substantial growth opportunities both in the U.S. and
               internationally.

                    o Quaker's highly profitable non-snack food business (with
               leading brands like Quaker Oatmeal, Life and Cap'n Crunch
               cereals, Rice a Roni and Aunt Jemima syrup) generates hundreds of
               millions of dollars in cash, and through increased innovation and
               efficiencies can continue to provide steady profit growth and
               substantial free cash flow.

         Combining PepsiCo and Quaker will create a company with an
         exceptionally strong position in the rapidly growing market for
         convenient foods and beverages. The combined company, which will
         retain the PepsiCo name, will have pro forma revenues of $25 billion.
         Its expected market capitalization of more than $80 billion will place
         it among the world's five largest consumer products companies.

         Merrill Lynch served as advisor to PepsiCo, Inc. and Goldman Sachs
         served as lead advisor to Quaker Oats. JP Morgan also served as an
         advisor to Quaker Oats.

         PepsiCo will hold a presentation for investors regarding the
         transaction that will be available via webcast and telephone at 9:00
         a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) today. Investors interested in accessing

[Roger Letterhead]

December 4, 2000

Dear (Personalized from "Top to Top" List?)

I have some great news to share: This morning PepsiCo announced plans to acquire
Quaker Oats, creating a powerhouse in the packaged goods industry and an even
tighter connection with your business. As described in the attached press
release, this is a milestone agreement - one that will dramatically enhance our
ability to meet your needs in the fast-growing segment of convenient foods and
beverages.

Today marks a new and exciting chapter in PepsiCo's history. With Quaker
complementing Pepsi, Frito-Lay, Tropicana and, most recently, SoBe, we'll be
calling on you with an unmatched portfolio of powerful and innovative products.
I'm tremendously excited about what these great brands can do together - and
what they will mean to you and your customers.

I'm no less enthusiastic about our new management team. With the completion of
this merger, Steve Reinemund will become PepsiCo's Chairman and CEO, a move we
announced earlier this fall. Steve is an executive of the highest integrity,
character and vision. He's also the right person to take this company - and our
partnership with you - to new heights.

But he won't be alone. I'm delighted to let you know that Quaker Chairman and
CEO Robert Morrison will join our leadership team as Vice Chairman, while
continuing to run Quaker. Steve also will count on the continued insight and
leadership of Indra Nooyi, who will be named President and Chief Financial
Officer. I'll be working closely with Steve, Bob and Indra over the next year or
two, offering advice and doing my part to ensure a smooth transition.

I hope you share my enthusiasm for the new PepsiCo and look forward to working
with you in the days to come.

As always, thank you very much for your business and for your support.

TO: All PCNA Bottlers
RE: Quaker Oats Acquisition

I'm sure you've already heard: PepsiCo has made the much-anticipated move to
acquire Quaker Oats. As you'll see in the attached news release and letter from
Roger Enrico, this is an epic agreement, with tremendous upside potential.

Together, PepsiCo and Quaker are unveiling an unmatched portfolio of powerhouse
brands, a winning leadership team and a bold strategic vision to be the player
in convenient foods and beverages.

On the beverage side, Quaker's forceful Gatorade brand will push PepsiCo well
ahead in the fast-growing non-carbonated field. Beyond our core CSD business,
Gatorade caps an already winning beverage lineup, including Tropicana, Aquafina,
FruitWorks, Lipton, Frappuccino and SoBe - all leaders in their respective
categories.

Gatorade is the world's number-one sports drink - by far. Yet, as with
everything we do, there are compelling opportunities for PepsiCo and its
divisions to develop this great brand even further. There are no plans to change
Quaker's current warehouse distribution system, but we may explore
channel-specific opportunities for our bottling system.

As you'll read and see in the media, it will probably be several months before
this transaction is completed. We will let you know about any further
development as the dust settles on this momentous agreement.

Sincerely,

/s/ Gary

December 4, 2000

Dear Colleagues:

I'm delighted to tell you that this morning we made a very exciting and historic
announcement. PepsiCo has reached an agreement to acquire the Quaker Oats
Company in a transaction valued at $14 billion.

If you've read the newspapers lately, most of what's been written about Quaker
has focused on the company's extraordinarily successful Gatorade brand. Gatorade
is a wonderful brand. But it's just the beginning of why Quaker was so
attractive to PepsiCo. The real news is that buying Quaker has very positive
implications for all of our businesses.

As you'll see in the news release that follows, the deal will help drive growth
and efficiencies at Frito-Lay, at Pepsi-Cola and at Tropicana. In short, it
creates a whole range of exciting opportunities for our businesses and for all
of us -- and being part of PepsiCo will give a big boost to Quaker and our new
colleagues.

You'll also see in our announcement that the completion of the acquisition next
year will trigger several important changes in our management team:
*       Steve Reinemund will become Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
*       Indra Nooyi will become President, in addition to being Chief Financial
Officer, and will be nominated for election to our board of directors.

*       Quaker Chairman, President and CEO Bob Morrison will join PepsiCo as a
Vice Chairman as well as Chairman and CEO of the Quaker portion of PepsiCo. He
too will be nominated for election to the board of directors.
*       I'll also become a Vice Chairman, helping to ensure a smooth
consolidation of these two great companies. In light of the Quaker development
I felt it best that Steve become Chairman a little sooner than we originally
planned.

As I look at PepsiCo today I see a company in great shape, better than we've
been in many years. And when we join with Quaker, our prospects for healthy,
consistent growth will be even brighter.

Please join me in welcoming to the PepsiCo family our 12,000 new colleagues at
Quaker.

Regards,

Roger



PEPSICO TO ACQUIRE THE QUAKER OATS COMPANY

Thank you, Roger.

My comments will be brief.

I simply want all of you who are listening--analysts, shareholders, the business
press and our employees--to know that I'm really thrilled with the prospect of
combining Quaker Oats with PepsiCo.

o  First of all, this merger is a wonderful thing for our shareholders.

   For the three-years through Oct. 31 of this year -just two days before
   takeover rumors hit the press -- Quaker shareholders have seen an average
   annual total return of nearly 22 percent, a return that far outdistances
   the performance of any of our peers over that period.


<PAGE>


   At Friday's close, the anticipated Pepsi deal will provide a premium of
   nearly 20 percent on top of the October 31 price.

   Clearly, this represents an extremely attractive immediate return.

                                   (PAUSE)

   But, of even greater importance to those shareholders who take a
   longer-term view, there is an opportunity here to participate in one of the
   most dramatic growth stories in food and beverage history.

   Many of you are sadly aware that, in recent times, mergers, in our industry
   or others, often bring together one struggling company with another--or, at
   best, one struggling company with one that's performing well.

   This merger is unusual, if not unique, in that it is combining two
   companies that are both firing on all cylinders--leading their industries
   in every respect.

   This combination presents the prospects of a truly awesome growth story
   and, therefore, impressive future returns for our shareholders, over time.

                                   (PAUSE)

o  This merger is also wonderful for our employees.

   Quaker employees are winners. This merger will provide them with an
   order-of-magnitude increase in the resources available to keep on winning
   in the marketplace.


<PAGE>


   The merger will also provide them with an opportunity to grow, on a
   personal level, in a company long known for identifying and developing a
   diverse group of strong leaders.

   Our employees will thrive in this environment and will see greater career
   growth possibilities than were possible in a stand-alone Quaker Oats
   company.

                                     (PAUSE)

I'm genuinely excited to join Roger, Steve and Indra as a part of the PepsiCo
leadership team.

I firmly believe we're going to do great things together.

                                       ###
