PepsiCo Senior Notes Offering.
On July 11, 2016, PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) announced an offering of €750,000,000 of its 0.875% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, HSBC Bank plc and UBS Limited were joint bookrunners for the offering of the Notes.
The public offering price of the Notes was 99.660% of the principal amount. PepsiCo received net proceeds of approximately €744 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by PepsiCo. The net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of commercial paper. The Notes were offered and sold pursuant to a Terms Agreement (the “Terms Agreement”) dated July 11, 2016 (incorporating the Underwriting Agreement Standard Provisions dated July 11, 2016) among PepsiCo and the several underwriters named therein, under PepsiCo’s automatic shelf registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-197640), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 25, 2014. PepsiCo has filed with the SEC a prospectus supplement, dated July 11, 2016, together with the accompanying prospectus, dated July 25, 2014, relating to the offer and sale of the Notes. The Notes were issued on July 18, 2016 pursuant to an Indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of May 21, 2007 between PepsiCo and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee.
