INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 3 to the Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (as amended hereby, the “Transaction Statement”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 13e-3 thereunder, by PepsiAmericas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PAS” and the issuer of the equity securities that are the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction reported hereby), PepsiCo, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“PepsiCo”), and Pepsi-Cola Metropolitan Bottling Company, Inc., a New Jersey corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo, Inc. (“Metro” and, together with PAS and PepsiCo, the “Filing Persons”).
This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 3, 2009, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Merger Agreement”), among PAS, PepsiCo and Metro. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, PAS will merge with and into Metro, with Metro continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo (the “Merger”). As of the effective time of the Merger, holders of PAS outstanding common stock (other than PepsiCo and its subsidiaries and any stockholders who properly exercise and perfect their appraisal rights under Delaware law) will have the right to receive, at their election, either 0.5022 shares of PepsiCo common stock or $28.50 in cash, without interest, per share of PAS common stock, subject to proration provisions which provide that an aggregate 50% of the outstanding shares of PAS common stock not held by PepsiCo or any of its subsidiaries will be converted into the right to receive PepsiCo common stock and an aggregate 50% of the outstanding shares of PAS common stock not held by PepsiCo or any of its subsidiaries will be converted into the right to receive cash. Subject to the proration provisions described in the preceding sentence, each share with respect to which a valid cash election is not made will be converted into the right to receive 0.5022 shares of PepsiCo common stock at the effective time of the Merger. Shares of PAS common stock held by PepsiCo and Metro will be cancelled and shares held by subsidiaries of PepsiCo (other than Metro) will be converted into the right to receive 0.5022 shares of PepsiCo common stock at the effective time of the Merger.
Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, PepsiCo is filing with the SEC Amendment No. 3 to its registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-162260), which includes a proxy statement/prospectus of PAS and PepsiCo relating to the special meeting of the stockholders of PAS, at which stockholders of PAS will be asked to consider and vote upon the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.
