("PBG") common stock upon completion of the merger of PBG with and into Pepsi-Cola Metropolitan Bottling Company, Inc. ("Metro), a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo, Inc. ("PepsiCo") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 3, 2009 among PBG, PepsiCo and Metro (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the Merger on February 26, 2010, the reporting person received cash consideration for approximately 49.4% of his shares of PBG common stock and shares of PepsiCo common stock for approximately 50.6% of his shares of PBG common stock
(2) For RSUs: Represents PepsiCo restricted stock units ("RSUs") received upon conversion of the reporting person's PBG RSUs upon completion of the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger on February 26, 2010, each PBG RSU award was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of PepsiCo common stock equal to the product of (a) 0.6432 and (b) the number of shares of PBG common stock subject to the PBG RSU award,,rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each PepsiCo RSU represents the right to receive one share of PepsiCo common stock.
(3) For 401(k) - Represents the approximate number of shares of PepsiCo common stock in the PBG 401(k) Plan received upon completion of the Merger in exchange for the reporting person's shares of PBG common stock that were held in the PBG common stock fund of the PBG 401(k) Plan. This number is based on the dollar value of the reporting person's holdings in the PBG common stock fund in the PBG 401(k) Plan as of February 25, 2010.
(4) For Stock Options: Represents the PepsiCo stock options received upon conversion of the reporting person's PBG stock options upon completion of the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger on February 26, 2010, each PBG stock option was converted into an option to purchase the number of shares of PepsiCo common stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of PBG common stock subject to the PBG stock option and (b) the closing exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The exercise price of the converted PepsiCo stock option is equal to (i) the exercise price of the PBG stock option divided by (ii) the closing exchange ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent. The closing exchange ratio is equal the quotient of the closing price of a share of PBG common stock on February 25, 2010 ($38.25) divided by the closing price of a share of PepsiCo common stock on February 25, 2010 ($62.30).
