Filed May 22, 2026For Securities:PEP

Summary

PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) has announced the termination of its 2025 364-day and five-year unsecured revolving credit agreements and the simultaneous entry into new, equivalent credit facilities. The company has replaced its $5 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement with a new $5 billion facility maturing on May 21, 2027, and its $5 billion five-year revolving credit agreement with a new $5 billion facility maturing on May 22, 2031. Both new agreements are with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and provide for potential increases in commitments up to $5.75 billion. Notably, there were no outstanding borrowings under the terminated agreements, indicating a proactive refinancing strategy rather than a response to immediate liquidity needs. These actions demonstrate PepsiCo's ongoing commitment to maintaining robust and flexible access to capital. The new credit agreements offer similar terms and capacities to the previous ones, ensuring continued financial flexibility for general corporate purposes, strategic investments, and potential acquisitions. The inclusion of features like a swing line subfacility for Euro-denominated borrowings in the five-year agreement and options for extension further underscore the company's strategic approach to treasury management and its ability to adapt to evolving market conditions. Investors can view this as a routine and prudent financial maneuver aimed at optimizing the company's liquidity and funding structure.
