Filed July 25, 2007For Securities:PEP

Summary

PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on July 24, 2007, primarily to furnish XBRL-formatted documents related to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 16, 2007. This filing is not intended to present new financial results but rather to test and demonstrate the company's use of XBRL technology for financial reporting. Investors are explicitly advised to rely on the official, unaudited 10-Q filing and not on the XBRL-formatted data for investment decisions, as these documents are considered experimental and not deemed 'filed' for liability purposes. The company also included a supplemental PDF, its 'Intelligent Financial Statement,' which embeds XBRL financial data and offers pop-up 'TagTips' for understanding the XBRL structure. This initiative highlights PepsiCo's proactive engagement with emerging financial reporting standards and technologies, aiming to improve transparency and accessibility of financial information in the future.
