BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD. PepsiCo's Board held six
meetings during 1999. All outside directors serve on the three Board Committees.
The Audit Committee, which was established in 1967, held two meetings
in 1999. The Audit Committee reviews with management the Corporation's annual
financial statements; reviews with the independent accountants their audit
report; and reviews the audit plans and activities of the independent
accountants and internal auditors. The Committee recommends to the Board the
selection of the independent accountants and approves the fees paid to them. The
Committee also reviews the adequacy of the Corporation's internal controls, and
reviews the internal audit department's staffing, budget and responsibilities.
The Compensation Committee, which has been active since 1955, held
four meetings during 1999. 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 in 1999. 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 96%. 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 in options to purchase shares of PepsiCo
Capital Stock. The options are granted at the fair market value of Capital Stock
on the date of the grant. Directors may exchange a portion of these options for
cash or stock as follows:
Retainer:
Directors receive options to buy $210,000 of Capital Stock at the date of grant.
They may exchange these options for cash at a ratio of three options for each $1
in cash. Thus, the maximum amount of cash a Director would receive if he or she
exchanged all of his or her retainer for cash would be $70,000.
<PAGE> 7
Other compensation:
Directors receive options to buy $150,000 of Capital Stock at the date of grant.
They may exchange up to $90,000 of these options for Capital Stock at the ratio
of three options for each one share of Capital Stock. Thus, the maximum amount
of Capital Stock which a Director would receive if he or she exchanged his or
her options for stock would be $30,000 of Capital Stock, with options to
purchase $60,000 of Capital Stock remaining.
Deferral:
Directors may elect to defer payment of any cash or stock received by them.
0 Stock: If the receipt of stock is deferred, the only investment option
available is PepsiCo Capital Stock equivalents, which are payable in
cash at the end of the deferral period.
0 Cash: If payment of cash is deferred, Directors may elect deferral into
PepsiCo Capital Stock equivalents or in investment options similar to
those offered under PepsiCo's 401(k) plan.
Deferrals may not be made for less than one year.
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
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 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
<PAGE> 8
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 generally
considers PepsiCo's operating profit and net 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 net 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.
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 1999
salaries, bonuses and long-term incentive awards for the Company's CEO and
executive officers set forth on page 10 were reviewed and approved at meetings
of the Compensation Committee held during 1999 and in January 2000.
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 operating profit and net sales volume results.
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.
<PAGE> 9
The primary performance measures used to determine the CEO's 1999 bonus
award were earnings per share growth and net sales 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. Mr. von der Heyden's compensation, in
particular, is heavily weighted towards the receipt of stock options.
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, assuming the reinvestment of dividends, for the five
years ended December 25, 1999 was 18.2%.

(1) In 1998 and 1999, at Mr. Enrico's request, the Compensation
Committee 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.
(2) This amount includes benefits from the use of corporate
transportation ($93,406 in 1999, $114,894 in 1998, and $68,552 in 1997 for Mr.
Enrico; and $51,978 in 1999 and $42,617 in 1998 for Mr. Reinemund.
(3) 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.
(4) 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.
(5) Ms. Nooyi was elected Senior Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer in 2000.
(6) Mr. Sharpe and Mr. White became executive officers of PepsiCo
in 1998.
(7) Mr. White was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer
of Frito-Lay's new Europe/Africa/Middle East division in 2000.

50,300 employees under PepsiCo's SharePower Stock Option Plan.
(4) The 5% and 10% rates of appreciation were set by the SEC and are
not intended to forecast future appreciation, if any, of PepsiCo's stock. If
PepsiCo's stock does not increase in value, then the option grants described in
the table will be valueless.
In addition to the option grants to executive officers named in the
table above, each of these officers may receive an additional option grant or

PERFORMANCE GRAPH. The Average of Three S&P Industry Groups is based
upon PepsiCo's sales in its three lines of business (Beverage (Soft Drink), Food
and Restaurant Indices) up to the fourth quarter of 1997. From the fourth
quarter of 1997 forward, it excludes the Restaurant Index, due to PepsiCo's
spin-off of certain of its restaurant businesses effective October 6, 1997. The
return on PepsiCo stock investment is calculated through PepsiCo's fiscal year
end on December 25, 1999. The return for the S&P 500 and the S&P Average indices
is calculated through December 31, 1999.

</TABLE>
<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 10 for each of the
named executive officers. The years of credited service as of January 1, 2000
for the executive officers named on the Summary Compensation Table who are
eligible for retirement benefits are as follows: Roger A. Enrico -- 28 years;
Steven S Reinemund -- 15 years; Indra K. Nooyi -- 5 years; Robert F. Sharpe, Jr.
- -- 1 year; and Michael D. White -- 9 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 two transactions in PepsiCo Capital Stock by a trust for
the benefit of Arthur C. Martinez were not timely reported on Securities and
Exchange Commission Form 4. The transactions were reported as soon as they
became known.
APPROVAL OF AUDITORS (PROXY ITEM NO. 2)
The Audit Committee recommends that KPMG LLP continue as PepsiCo's
independent auditors for 2000. They have been PepsiCo's independent auditors
since 1990. They were paid approximately $6.8 million for audit and
audit-related services rendered for 1999. 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' PROPOSALS
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.
Qualifications for Board Membership (Proxy Item No. 3)
------------------------------------------------------
Bernard A. Morewitz, 4021 Chesapeake Avenue, Hampton, VA 23669-4631,
who is the record owner of 24,000 shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock, has submitted
the following resolution for the reasons stated:
"The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of PepsiCo, Inc. shall
be the only Officer of PepsiCo, Inc. to hold a membership on the
PepsiCo, Inc. Board of Directors, and may not hold office or
directorship in any other Company unless that Company is a subsidiary
<PAGE> 14
of PepsiCo, Inc. This resolution shall become effective and apply to
director nominees at meetings subsequent to PepsiCo 2000 Annual
Meeting.
Reason. PepsiCo's compensation is sufficient to have exclusive
rights to the time and talents of its employees. PepsiCo is entitled to
100% of its CEO's time, skills, and attention. Each outside board
requires four to twelve days per year away from managing PepsiCo
affairs. Fellowships, acquaintance, and fraternization with other CEO's
may be accomplished with ease and conviviality at the National Business
Council and similar organizations without additional corporate
responsibility and allegiance to another firm. The detriments far
outweigh the benefits. The Board of Directors determines, sets, and
oversees policy performance; Officers execute and carry out that
policy. More than one employee/Officer/Director of PepsiCo on the Board
puts outside directors at a disadvantage and overweighs the role of the
employee, placing him/her as his/her own supervisor.
PepsiCo's progress has been stagnant for the past five years,
while the national economy is soaring. Management should devote its
total effort to PepsiCo and not be concerned with outside industrial
interests.
The PepsiCo Board of Directors should consist of the very best
minds and skills available. There are academics well schooled in
marketing, promotion, economics, business, geo-politics, chemistry,
organization - most willing to offer their talents to PepsiCo's
success. The compensation is attractive enough to secure exclusive
rights to their dedication and provide perspectives not available to
us, now."
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSE: Your Board of Directors believes that
the strength of PepsiCo's Board is based not only on the judgment and experience
of its eleven independent members but also on the operating information and
perspective provided by the Company's senior executive and operating officers.
This balance fosters broad-based and informed decision making on behalf of
PepsiCo's shareholders.
The Board also believes that the small portion of your Chief Executive
Officer's time spent as a director of other companies provides insights and
experience which are very valuable to his role at PepsiCo.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE AGAINST THIS
RESOLUTION.
Genetically Engineered Foods (Proxy Item No. 4)
-----------------------------------------------
Sue Aaron and Steve Sherman, c/o Harrington Investments, Inc., 1001
Second Street, Suite 325, Napa, CA 94559, who own 1,600 shares of PepsiCo
Capital Stock, have submitted, along with other religious groups or
institutions, the following resolution for the reasons stated:
"WHEREAS: International markets for genetically engineered
(GE) foods are threatened by extensive resistance to gene
protection technology, transgenic technology and genetically
altered foods;
<PAGE> 15
0 Several of Europe's largest food retailers, including Tesco, Sainsbury
Group, Carrefour, and Rewe, have committed to removing GE ingredients
from their store-brand products;
0 In the UK, three fast-food giants--McDonald's, Burger King, and
Kentucky Fried Chicken--are eliminating GE soya and corn ingredients
from their menus;
0 Gerber Products Co. announced in July 1999 that they would not allow
GE corn or soybeans in any of their baby foods;
0 Archer Daniels Midland asked its grain suppliers in August 1999 to
segregate their genetically engineered crops from conventional crops;
There is increasing scientific concern that genetically engineered
agricultural products may be harmful to humans, animals, or the
environment;
0 The U.S. Department of Agriculture has acknowledged (July 13, 1999)
the need to develop a comprehensive approach to evaluating long-term
and secondary effects of GE products;
0 Some GE crops have been engineered to have higher levels of toxins,
such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), to make them insect-resistant;
0 In 1998, research showed that Bt crops are building up Bt toxins in
the soil;
0 In 1999, the European Union suspended approval of new genetically
engineered organisms until a new safety law for genetically engineered
organisms is implemented in 2002. This followed a new study that
showed Bt corn pollen may harm monarch butterflies.
0 In the U.S., we have a long tradition of citizens' `Right to Know'; an
expression of this includes the current laws requiring nutritional
labeling of foods;
0 A January 1999 Time/CNN poll indicated that 81% of Americans said that
GE food should be labeled as such;
0 GE crop may incorporate genes that are allergens or from animal
species. Individuals can not avoid them for health or religious
reasons unless they are labeled;
0 The European Union requires labeling of GE foods, as will Japan,
New Zealand, and Australia.
RESOLVED: Shareholders request the Board of Directors to adopt
a policy of removing genetically engineered crops, organisms, or
products thereof from all products sold or manufactured by the company,
where feasible, until long-term safety testing has shown that they are
not harmful to humans, animals, and the environment; with the interim
step of labeling and identifying these products that may contain these
ingredients, and reporting to the shareholders by August 2000.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT: We believe that this technology involves
significant social, economic, and environmental risks. Our company
should take a leadership position in delaying market adoption of
genetically engineered crops and foods. Failure to do so could leave
our company financially liable, should detrimental effects to public
health or the environment appear in the future."
<PAGE> 16
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSE: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have determined that
currently approved foods derived from modern biotechnology are as safe as
conventional foods. The FDA also has decided that no special labeling is
required for foods that are substantially equivalent to their traditional
counterparts. Only foods that contain allergens or changes in nutritional
composition require labeling. None of our products or ingredients falls into
either category. The FDA labeling policy is based on differences in the foods
themselves, rather than how they are grown.
Furthermore, in the United States, the current system for distributing
agricultural commodities makes it difficult, if not impossible, for food
manufacturers to be certain whether or to what degree their ingredients have
been enhanced through biotechnology.
The FDA continues to review the safety of foods, including those
derived through biotechnology. PepsiCo is committed to using only safe and
approved ingredients in its products and all of our products worldwide comply
with national food laws and labeling regulations. In view of PepsiCo's alignment
with the current policies of our regulatory bodies on this matter, it would be
inappropriate, regressive and costly for PepsiCo to label products based on the
possibility that they contain ingredients in which biotechnology may have been
employed, or to commit to removing any such ingredients from its products.
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
<PAGE> 17
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.
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 2001 SHAREHOLDERS' PROPOSALS
PepsiCo welcomes comments or suggestions from its shareholders. If a
shareholder wants to have a proposal formally considered at the 2001 Annual
Shareholders' Meeting, and included in the Proxy Statement for that Meeting, we
must receive the proposal in writing on or before November 25, 2000. In
addition, if a shareholder proposal is not received by us on or before February
1, 2001, under PepsiCo's By-Laws it will not be considered or voted on at the
Annual Meeting.
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 Shareholder Communications 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 1999 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
