Note 1—Basis of Presentation

Bottling Group, LLC (referred to as “Bottling LLC,” “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company”) is the principal operating subsidiary of The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (“PBG”) and consists of substantially all of the operations and assets of PBG. ~~PBG is the world’s largest manufacturer, seller and distributor of Pepsi-Cola beverages.~~ We have the exclusive right to manufacture, ~~sell~~ sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages, in all or a portion of the United States, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Russia, Greece and Turkey.

We prepare our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows, as well as the related footnote disclosures. We evaluate our estimates on an ~~on-going~~ongoing basis using our historical experience as well as other factors we believe appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effect cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.

These interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for comprehensive annual financial statements. Therefore, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008 as presented in our ~~Annual~~Current Report on Form 108-K dated September 16, 2009. In the opinion of management, this interim information includes all material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation.

Our U.S. and Canadian operations report using a fiscal year that consists of 52 weeks, ending on the last Saturday in December. Every five or six years a 53rd week is added. Fiscal years 2009 and 2008 consist of 52 weeks. Our remaining countries report on a calendar-year basis. Accordingly, we recognize our quarterly business results as outlined below:


Quarter	U.S. & Canada	Mexico & Europe
First Quarter	12 weeks	January and February
Second Quarter	12 weeks	March, April and May
Third Quarter	12 weeks	June, July and August
Fourth Quarter	16 weeks	September, October, November and December

In ~~conjunction~~preparation ~~with~~of ~~PBG’s~~these ~~initial~~financial ~~public offering and other subsequent transactions~~statements, ~~PBG~~we ~~and PepsiCo,~~have ~~Inc.~~evaluated ~~(“PepsiCo”) contributed bottling businesses~~ and ~~assets~~assessed ~~used~~all ~~in the bottling~~events ~~businesses~~occurring subsequent to ~~Bottling LLC. As a result of~~ the ~~contribution~~third ofquarter ~~these~~end ~~assets, PBG owns 93.4 percent of Bottling LLC~~ and ~~PepsiCo~~through ~~owns the remaining 6.6~~October ~~percent as of June 13~~9, 2009~~. In addition~~, ~~PepsiCo~~ ~~has~~which ais ~~40 percent~~the ~~ownership~~date ~~interest in PR Beverages Limited (“PR Beverages”), a~~our ~~consolidated~~financial ~~venture~~statements ~~for~~were ~~our Russian operations~~issued.

Weand ~~have~~PepsiCo ~~eliminated~~owns ~~all~~the ~~intercompany~~remaining ~~accounts~~6.6 percent ~~and~~as ~~transactions~~of September 5, 2009. In addition, PepsiCo has a 40 percent ownership interest in ~~consolidation~~PR Beverages Limited (“PR Beverages”), a consolidated venture for our Russian operations.

We consolidate in our financial statements entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, as well as variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests in earnings and ownership has been recorded for the percentage of these entities not owned by Bottling LLC. We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidation.

Note 2—Seasonality of Business

The results for the ~~second~~third quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year because sales of our products are seasonal. The seasonality of our operating results arises from higher sales in the second and third quarters versus the first and fourth quarters of the year, combined with the impact of fixed costs, such as depreciation and interest, which are not significantly impacted by business seasonality. From a cash flow perspective, the majority of our cash flow from operations is generated in the third and fourth quarters.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which addresses the accounting and disclosure for identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in a business combination. In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (“FSP FAS 141(R)-1”), which amended certain provisions of SFAS 141(R) related to the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. SFAS 141(R) and FSP FAS 141(R)-1 became effective in ~~the first quarter of~~ 2009, and did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, but will continue to be evaluated on the outcome of future matters.

SFAS No. 160

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), which addresses the accounting and reporting framework for noncontrolling interests by a parent company. SFAS 160 also addresses disclosure requirements to distinguish between interests of the parent and interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 became effective in the first quarter of 2009. The provisions of SFAS 160 require that minority interest be renamed noncontrolling interests and that a company present a consolidated net income measure that includes the amount attributable to such noncontrolling interests for all periods presented. In addition, SFAS 160 requires reporting noncontrolling ~~interest~~interests as a component of equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and below income tax expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As required by SFAS 160, we have retrospectively applied the presentation to our prior year balances in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

SFAS No. 161

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”), which requires enhanced disclosures for derivative and hedging activities. SFAS 161 became effective in the first quarter of 2009. See Note 8 for required disclosure.

FSP FAS 132(R)-1

In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 132(revised 2003)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”), which requires employers to disclose information about fair value measurements of plan assets that are similar to the disclosures about fair value measurements required by SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). FSP FAS 132(R)-1 will become effective for our annual financial statements for 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1

~~has an effective date requiring adoption by the third quarter of 2009 with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of~~ FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 ~~in the first quarter of 2009.~~ ~~See Note 7 for required disclosures.~~

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), which requires quarterly disclosure of information about the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 has an effective date requiring adoption by the third quarter of 2009 with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the first quarter of 2009. See Note 7 for required disclosures.

SFAS No. 165

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which sets forth general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 ~~will~~became ~~become~~ effective in the third quarter of 2009 and ~~will~~did not ~~likely~~ have a material impact on our ~~Consolidated~~ Consolidated Financial Statements.

SFAS No. 167

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”), which amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(revised December 2003) to address the elimination of the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. SFAS 167 also replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additionally, SFAS 167 provides more timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 will become effective in the first quarter of 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

SFAS No. 168

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 168 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 will become effective in the fourth quarter of 2009 and will ~~not~~require ~~have a~~the ~~material~~Company ~~impact~~to onupdate ~~our~~all ~~Consolidated~~existing ~~Financial~~GAAP ~~Statements~~references to the new codification references for all future filings.

Note 4—Share-Based Compensation

The total impact of share-based compensation recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was $14 million and $1513 million for the 12 week periods ended ~~June~~September 135, 2009 and ~~June~~September 146, 2008, respectively, and $2640 million and $2740 million for the 2436 week periods ~~ended~~ ~~June~~ended September 135, 2009 and ~~June~~September 146, 2008, respectively.

During the 2436 weeks ended ~~June~~September 135, 2009 and ~~June~~September 146, 2008, we granted 6 million and 3 ~~million~~ million of PBG stock option awards at a weighted-average fair value of $4.5255 and $7.1112, respectively.

During the 2436 weeks ended ~~June~~September 135, 2009 and ~~June~~September 146, 2008, we granted 2 million and 1 ~~million~~ million of PBG restricted stock unit awards at a weighted-average fair value of $18.7282 and $35.3833, respectively.

Unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the incentive plans amounted to $~~101~~88 million as of ~~June~~September 135, 2009. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.20 years.

During the first quarter of 2009, we acquired distribution rights for certain energy drinks in the United States and Canada and protein-enhanced functional beverages in the United States. As a result of these acquisitions, we recorded approximately $36 million of amortizable distribution rights, with a weighted-average amortization period of 10 years.

During the second quarter, we acquired a Pepsi-Cola and Dr Pepper franchise bottler serving portions of central Texas. As a result of this acquisition we recorded approximately $5756 million of non-amortizable franchise rights and $8 million of non-compete agreements, with a weighted-average amortization period of 10 years.

During the third quarter, we acquired a Pepsi-Cola franchise bottler serving northeastern Massachusetts. As a result of this acquisition we recorded approximately $24 million of non-amortizable franchise rights and $1 million of non-compete agreements, with a weighted-average amortization period of 10 years.

Intangible asset amortization

Intangible asset amortization expense was $23 million for both the 12 weeks ended ~~June~~September 135, ~~2009~~ 2009 and ~~June~~September 146, 2008. Intangible asset amortization expense was $47 million for both the ~~24 weeks~~36 weeks ended ~~June~~September 135, 2009 and ~~June~~September 146, 2008. Amortization expense for each of the next five years is estimated to be approximately $11 million ~~or less~~.

Goodwill

The changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment for the 2436 weeks ended ~~June~~September 135, 2009 are as follows:

Note 7—Fair Value Measurements

We adopted SFAS 157 at the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year for all financial instruments valued on a recurring basis, at least annually. Additionally, beginning in the first quarter of 2009, in accordance with the provisions of FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”) we now apply SFAS 157 to financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. FSP 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for certain items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. In accordance with SFAS 157, we have categorized our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the input used in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities we measure at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~June~~September 135, 2009 and December 27, 2008:

	Level 2

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial assets with carrying values approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Financial liabilities with carrying values approximating fair value include accounts payable and other accrued liabilities and short-term debt. The carrying value of these financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to their short maturities and ~~since~~due to their interest rates ~~approximate~~approximating current market rates for short-term debt.

Long-term debt, which includes the current maturities of long-term debt, at ~~June~~September 135, 2009, ~~had~~ had a carrying value and fair value of $4.5 billion and $45.80 billion, respectively, and at December 27, 2008, had a carrying value and fair value of $5.1 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively. The ~~fair~~ fair value is based on interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Note 8—Financial Instruments and Risk Management

We are subject to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and PBG’s stock price. In the normal course of business, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivatives. Our corporate policy prohibits the use of derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes, and we have procedures in place to monitor and control their use.

All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either assets or liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative instruments are generally designated and accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) as either a hedge of a recognized asset or liability (“fair value hedge”) or a hedge of a forecasted transaction (“cash flow hedge”). Certain of these derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS 133 and are used as “economic hedges” to manage certain risks in our business.

Credit Risk Associated with Derivatives

We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments. We have established and maintained counterparty credit guidelines and enter into transactions only with financial institutions of investment grade or better. We monitor our counterparty credit risk and utilize numerous counterparties to minimize our exposure to potential defaults. We do not require collateral under these agreements.

~~Cash~~ For ~~Flow~~derivative ~~Hedges~~instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative instrument is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) until the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. The derivative gain or loss recognized in earnings is recorded consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item. The ineffective portion of a fair value change on a qualifying cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings immediately.

~~For~~Derivative ~~derivative~~ instruments that are not designated ~~and qualify~~ as ahedging ~~cash~~instruments ~~flow~~under ~~hedge~~SFAS 133, ~~the~~but ~~effective~~are ~~portion~~used ofas ~~the~~economic ~~change~~hedges into ~~the~~manage ~~fair~~certain ~~value~~risks ~~of a derivative instrument is deferred~~ in ~~accumulated~~our ~~other comprehensive~~business, ~~loss~~are ~~(“AOCL”)~~marked ~~until~~to ~~the~~market ~~underlying~~on ~~hedged~~a ~~item is recognized in earnings. The~~periodic ~~derivative’s~~basis ~~gain~~and ~~or loss~~ recognized currently in earnings ~~is recorded~~ consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item. ~~The ineffective portion of a fair value change on a~~ ~~qualifying cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings immediately.~~

~~The~~Commodity ~~Company~~— ~~hedges~~We use forward and option contracts to hedge the ~~following~~risk ~~types~~of adverse movements in commodity prices related primarily to anticipated purchases of ~~items~~raw materials and energy used in our operations. These contracts generally range from one to 24 months in duration. Our open commodity derivative contracts that qualify for cash flow hedge accounting have a notional value, based on ~~under~~the ~~SFAS~~contract ~~133:~~price, of $336 million as of September 5, 2009. Our open commodity derivative contracts that act as economic hedges but do not qualify for hedge accounting have a notional value, based on the contract price, of $8 million as of September 5, 2009.

~~Commodity~~Foreign Currency — We ~~use~~are ~~forward~~subject ~~and~~to ~~option~~foreign ~~contracts~~currency totransactional ~~hedge~~risks in certain of our international territories primarily for the ~~risk~~purchase of ~~adverse~~commodities ~~movements~~that are denominated in ~~commodity~~currencies ~~prices~~that ~~related~~are ~~primarily~~different tofrom ~~anticipated~~their ~~purchases~~functional ofcurrency. ~~raw~~We ~~materials~~enter ~~and~~into ~~energy~~forward ~~used~~contract agreements into ~~our operations~~hedge a portion of this foreign currency risk.

These contracts generally range from one year to ~~24 months~~three inyears ~~duration~~ and as of ~~June~~September 135, 2009, have a notional value, based on the contract price, of $7413 million.

Interest — We have entered into treasury rate lock agreements to hedge against adverse interest rate changes relating to the issuance of certain fixed rate debt financing arrangements. Gains and losses from these treasury rate lock agreements that are considered effective are deferred in AOCL and amortized to interest expense over the duration of the debt term. The Company has a $3 million net deferred gain in AOCL related to these instruments, which will be amortized over the next seven years. For the 1236 weeks ~~and 24 weeks~~ ended ~~June~~September 135, 2009, we recognized, in interest expense, a loss of $0.~~1 million and $0.~~3 million~~, respectively~~.

~~Fair~~ We ~~Value~~effectively ~~Hedges~~converted $1.25 billion of our fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps with the objective of reducing our overall borrowing costs. These interest rate swaps meet the criteria for fair value hedge accounting and are assumed to be 100 percent effective in eliminating the market-rate risk inherent in our long-term debt. Accordingly, any gain or loss associated with these swaps is fully offset by the opposite market impact on the related debt and recognized currently in earnings.

Economic Hedges

As part of our risk management strategy, we enter into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS 133, but are used as economic hedges to manage certain risks in our business. These derivative instruments are marked to market on a periodic basis and recognized currently in earnings consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item. The Company has the following types of economic hedges:

Foreign Currency Hedges — We entered into forward exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of our intercompany receivable balances that are denominated in Mexican pesos. These contracts generally range from one to 12 months in duration and as of June 13, 2009, have a notional value, based on the contract price, of $33 million.

Additionally, we fair value certain vendor and customer contracts that have embedded foreign currency derivative components. These contracts generally range from one year to three years and as of June 13, 2009, have a notional value, based on the contract price, of $15 million.

Unfunded Deferred Compensation Liability — Our unfunded deferred compensation liability is subject to changes in PBG’s stock price as well as price changes in other equity and fixed-income investments. We use prepaid forward contracts to hedge the portion of our deferred compensation liability that is based on PBG’s stock price. At June 13, 2009, we had a prepaid forward contract for 585,000 shares of PBG’s stock.

The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our cash flow hedges was not material to our results for the 12 weeks and 24 weeks ended June 13, 2009. Assuming no change in the commodity prices and foreign currency rates as measured on June 13, 2009, $19 million of unrealized net losses will be reclassified from AOCL and recognized in earnings over the next 12 months.

Note 10—Income Taxes

During the second quarter of 2009, we reached a settlement with the Canadian tax authorities on an issue related to the 1999-2005 tax years. As a result, our gross reserves for uncertain tax benefits, excluding interest, decreased by $19 million which was reflected as a benefit in income tax expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, we decreased our related reserves for interest by approximately $6 million and recognized a tax benefit from interest refunds of approximately $4 million, for a total net tax benefit of $29 million as a result of these items.

WeDuring ~~currently~~the ~~have~~third ~~on-going~~quarter ~~income~~of ~~tax audits in our major tax jurisdictions~~2009, ~~where~~we ~~issues~~settled ~~such as~~various ~~deductibility~~audits ofin ~~certain~~our ~~expenses have been raised~~international jurisdictions.

We currently have on-going income tax audits in our major tax jurisdictions. We believe that it is reasonably possible that our reserves for uncertain tax benefits could further decrease by up to $2 million within the next 12 months as a result of the completion of audits in various jurisdictions or the expiration of statute of limitations.

Note 12—Restructuring Charges

In the fourth quarter of 2008, we announced a restructuring program to enhance the Company’s operating capabilities in each of our reporting segments with the objective to strengthen customer service and selling effectiveness; simplify decision making and streamline the organization; drive greater cost productivity to adapt to current macroeconomic challenges; and rationalize the Company’s supply chain infrastructure. As part of the restructuring program, approximately 3,600 positions will be eliminated across all reporting segments, four facilities will be closed in the United States, three plants and about 30 distribution centers will be closed in Mexico and about 700 routes will be eliminated in Mexico. In addition, PBG modified its U.S. defined benefit pension plans, which will generate long-term savings and significantly reduce future financial obligations.

The Company expects to record pre-tax charges of $140 million to $170 million in selling, delivery and administrative expenses over the course of the restructuring program, which are primarily for severance and related benefits, pension and other employee-related costs and other charges, including employee relocation and asset disposal costs. ~~The~~Certain ~~program~~of isthe ~~expected to be~~restructuring ~~substantially~~actions ~~completed~~have bybeen ~~the~~delayed ~~end~~due ofto ~~2009. Since~~ the ~~inception~~pending ofmerger ~~the~~with ~~program and through June 13~~PepsiCo, ~~2009~~therefore, wethe ~~eliminated~~restructuring actions ~~approximately~~may ~~2,500~~not ~~positions~~be ~~across~~completed ~~all~~by ~~reporting segments and closed four facilities in~~ the ~~United~~end ~~States~~of 2009, ~~two~~as ~~plants~~originally ~~and 10 distribution centers in Mexico and eliminated 432 routes in Mexico~~intended.

~~The~~Since ~~Company expects to incur approximately $130 million in pre-tax cash expenditures from these restructuring actions, of which $52 million was paid since~~ the inception of the program, ~~with the~~and ~~balance~~through ~~expected~~September 5, ~~to occur in~~ 2009, ~~and~~we ~~2010.~~eliminated ~~This~~approximately 2,650 ~~includes~~positions ~~$5 million~~across ofall ~~employee~~reporting ~~benefit payments~~segments ~~pursuant~~and toclosed ~~existing~~four ~~unfunded~~facilities ~~termination~~in ~~indemnity~~the ~~plans.~~United ~~These~~States, three ~~benefit~~plants ~~payments~~and ~~have been~~15 ~~accrued~~distribution ~~for~~centers in ~~previous~~Mexico ~~periods,~~ and ~~therefore,~~eliminated ~~are~~470 ~~not~~routes ~~included~~ in ~~our estimated cost for this program or the tables below~~Mexico.

The Company expects to incur approximately $130 million in pre-tax cash expenditures from these restructuring actions, of which $60 million was paid since the inception of the program, with the balance expected to occur in 2009 and 2010. This includes $6 million of employee benefit payments pursuant to existing unfunded termination indemnity plans. These benefit payments have been accrued for in previous periods, and therefore, are not included in our estimated cost for this program or the tables below.

The following tables summarize the pre-tax costs associated with the restructuring program.

Note 14—Contingencies

We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, environmental and other matters arising from the normal course of business. We believe that the ultimate liability arising from such claims or contingencies, if any, in excess of amounts already recognized is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

~~Litigation~~ On ~~Related~~April 19, 2009, PBG received an unsolicited proposal from PepsiCo to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the PBG’s common stock not already owned by PepsiCo ~~Proposal~~for $29.50 per share. The proposal consisted of $14.75 in cash plus 0.283 shares of PepsiCo common stock for each share of PBG common stock. Immediately following receipt of the proposal, PBG’s Board of Directors formed a special committee to review the adequacy of the proposal. On May 4, 2009, PBG’s Board of Directors rejected the proposal.

As discussed below, PBG and members of its Board of Directors have been named in a number of lawsuits relating to the PepsiCo proposal. It is not presently possible to accurately forecast the outcome or ~~the ultimate cost of these lawsuits. In the event of prolonged proceedings or a determination adverse to the Company or PBG~~ ~~or its directors or officers, the Company~~

the ultimate cost of these lawsuits. In the event of prolonged proceedings or a determination adverse to PBG or its directors or officers, PBG may incur substantial monetary liability and expense, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

~~Note~~ On ~~15—Guarantees~~May 11, 2009, PepsiCo, Inc., along with Mr. Compton and Ms. Trudell (PepsiCo employees who are members of PBG’s Board of Directors) filed a complaint against PBG and the other members of its Board of Directors in Delaware Chancery Court. The complaint sought declaratory and injunctive relief and alleged that the defendants had breached their fiduciary duties owed to the public stockholders of PBG by, among other things, holding a meeting of PBG’s Board of Directors and taking certain actions at that meeting without providing notice to Mr. Compton and Ms. Trudell, adopting a stockholder rights plan that restricts PepsiCo’s rights as a stockholder by, for example, limiting its ability to solicit consents, and adopting a stockholder rights plan that was an unreasonable and disproportionate response to the April 19 proposal. On August 5, 2009, following PBG’s entry into the merger agreement with PepsiCo, PepsiCo voluntarily dismissed this action with prejudice.

PBG has a committed revolving credit facility of $1.2 billion and an uncommitted credit facility of $500 million. Both of these credit facilities are guaranteed by us and will be used to support PBG’s commercial paper program and our working capital requirements. PBG had $153 million and $0 million of outstanding commercial paper at June 13, 2009 and December 27, 2008, respectively.

In March 1999, PBG issued $1 billion of seven percent senior notes due 2029, which are guaranteed by us. We also guarantee that to the extent there is available cash, we will distribute pro rata to PBG and PepsiCo sufficient cash such that the aggregate cash distributed to PBG will enable PBG to pay its taxes, share repurchases, dividends and make interest payments for its internal and external debt.

We also guarantee that to the extent there is available cash, we will distribute pro rata to PBG and PepsiCo sufficient cash such that the aggregate cash distributed to PBG will enable PBG to pay its taxes, repurchase shares, distribute dividends and make interest payments for its internal and external debt.

~~2009~~2008 ~~Items~~Restructuring Actions

In the fourth quarter of 2008, ~~Restructuring~~we ~~Charges~~announced a restructuring program to enhance the Company’s operating capabilities in each of our reportable segments.

InThe ~~the fourth quarter of 2008, we announced a restructuring~~ program ~~to enhance the Company’s operating capabilities in each of our reportable segments. We anticipate the program to be substantially complete by the end of 2009 and the program~~ is expected to result in annual pre-tax savings of approximately $150 million to $160 million. The Company expects to record pre-tax charges of $140 million to $170 million over the course of the restructuring program. These charges are primarily for severance and related benefits, pension and other employee-related costs and other charges, including employee relocation and asset disposal costs. As part of the restructuring program, approximately 3,600 positions will be eliminated, including 800 positions in the U.S. & Canada, 600 positions in Europe and 2,200 positions in Mexico. Certain of the restructuring actions have been delayed due to the pending merger with PepsiCo, therefore, the restructuring actions may not be completed by the end of 2009, as originally intended.

Since the inception of the program, the Company incurred pre-tax charges of $97102 million. Of Of this amount, we recorded $95 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2009, of which $41 million was ~~recorded~~ recorded in our U.S. & Canada segment, and $4 million was recorded in our Mexico segment ~~and $1 million was recorded in our Europe segment~~. For the 2436 weeks ended ~~June~~September 135, 2009, we recorded $1419 million in pre-tax charges, of which $78 million was recorded in our U.S. & Canada segment, $610 million was recorded in our Mexico segment and $1 million was recorded in our Europe segment.

The Company expects to incur approximately $130 million in pre-tax cash expenditures from these restructuring actions, of which $5260 million was paid since the inception of the program, with the balance expected to occur in 2009 and 2010. During the ~~second~~first ~~quarter~~36 weeks of 2009, we paid $1747 million in pre-tax cash expenditures for these restructuring actions.

For further information about our restructuring charges see Note 12 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Canada Tax Audit Settlement

During the second quarter of 2009, we reached a settlement with the Canadian tax authorities on an issue related to the 1999-2005 tax years. As a result, we recorded a tax benefit of $29 million which was reflected in income tax expense.

For further information about our tax audit settlement see Note 10 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2008 Items

2007 Restructuring Charges

In the third quarter of 2007, we announced a restructuring program to realign the Company’s organization to adapt to changes in the marketplace, improve operating efficiencies and enhance the growth potential of the Company’s product portfolio. During 2008, we completed the organizational realignment, which resulted in the elimination of approximately 800 positions. Annual cost savings from this restructuring program are approximately $30 million. Over the course of the program we incurred a pre-tax charge of $29 million. Of this amount, we recorded $2 million in the first quarter of 2008 and $1 million in the second quarter of 2008, primarily relating to relocation expenses in our U.S. & Canada segment.

Asset Disposal Costs

In the fourth quarter of 2007, we adopted a Full Service Vending (“FSV”) Rationalization plan to rationalize our vending asset base in our U.S. & Canada segment by disposing of older underperforming assets and redeploying certain assets to higher return accounts. Our FSV business portfolio consists of accounts where we stock and service vending equipment. This plan, which we completed in the second quarter of 2008, was part of the Company’s broader initiative designed to improve operating income margins of our FSV business. Over the course of the FSV Rationalization plan, we incurred a pre-tax charge of $25 million, the majority of which was non-cash, including costs associated with the removal of these assets from service, disposal costs and redeployment expenses. Of this amount, we incurred a pre-tax charge of $1 million associated with the FSV Rationalization plan in each of the first and second quarters of 2008. This charge was recorded in selling, delivery and administrative expenses.

Worldwide Financial Highlights for the 12 and 24 Weeks Ended June 13, 2009

Foreign Currency Impact — The impact of foreign currency translation for the quarter reduced the growth in reported net revenues and gross profit by seven percentage points. Foreign currency translation also reduced the growth in reported cost of sales and selling, delivery and administrative expenses (“SD&A”) by eight percentage points and operating income by a net four percentage points.

The impact of foreign currency translation for the year-to-date period reduced the growth in reported net revenues and gross profit by six percentage points, cost of sales and SD&A by seven percentage points and operating income by a net two percentage points.

Currency neutral growth rates exclude the impact of foreign currency translation (discussed above) by translating current year results using prior year’s foreign exchange rates.

~~Volume — Volume decreased by four percent in the second quarter and five percent for the first 24 weeks of 2009, driven by declines in each of our segments due~~ Mark-to-Market ~~the~~Net ~~soft economic conditions~~Impact globally, which have negatively impacted the liquid refreshment beverage category.

~~Cost~~Tax ofAudit ~~sales — Reported cost of sales declined five percent for both the second quarter and~~Settlements first 24 weeks of 2009, due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation and lower volume in the quarter. These declines were partially offset by higher raw material costs coupled with the negative impact of foreign currency transactional costs relating primarily to our U.S. dollar denominated purchases in Europe and Mexico. Currency neutral cost of sales per case increased eight percent in the quarter and seven percent for the year-to-date period. Reported cost of sales per case was flat versus the prior year for both the quarter and the year-to-date period, which includes a negative impact of eight percentage points and seven percentage points from foreign currency translation for the quarter and year-to-date period, respectively.

These items contributed seven percentage points to the net income growth rate for the quarter. The remaining nine percentage point decrease for the quarter was driven by a decline in operating income, higher interest expense on third party loans and lower interest income generated from loans made to PBG.

Worldwide Financial Highlights for the 12 and 36 Weeks Ended September 5, 2009

Reported net revenues declined five percent in the third quarter and six percent for the first 36 weeks of 2009, driven by the negative impact from foreign currency translation and a decline in worldwide volume growth. This decline was partially offset by a four percentage point increase in net revenue per case on a currency neutral basis for both the quarter and year-to-date period, driven primarily by rate increases in each of our segments. Reported net revenue per case declined three percent for the quarter and two percent year-to-date, which includes a negative impact of seven percentage points from foreign currency translation for both the quarter and year-to-date period.

Reported gross profit declined seven percent in the third quarter and eight percent for the first 36 weeks of 2009, driven by the negative impact of foreign currency translation and volume declines. This was partially offset by improvement in gross profit per case on a currency neutral basis, as rate gains from the Company’s global pricing strategy and savings from productivity initiatives more than offset higher raw material costs. Currency neutral gross profit per case increased two percent for the both the quarter and year-to-date periods. Reported gross profit per case declined five percent for the quarter and four percent year-to-date, which includes a negative impact from foreign currency translation of seven percentage points for the quarter and six percentage points for the year-to-date period.

Reported selling, delivery and administrative expenses (“SD&A”) declined by nine percent in the third quarter and the first 36 weeks of 2009, driven by lower operating costs due to continued productivity improvements across all segments coupled with the favorable impact of foreign currency translation. Foreign currency translation contributed six percentage points and seven percentage points to the decline in SD&A growth for the quarter and the first 36 weeks of 2009, respectively.

Reported operating income grew one percent in the third quarter and declined two percent for the first 36 weeks of 2009. Restructuring charges reduced operating income growth by one percent for the quarter and year-to-date. Operating income for both the quarter and year-to-date periods benefited from margin increases, cost and productivity improvements and the positive impact from acquisitions, which was partially offset by volume declines and the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Foreign currency translation contributed nine percentage points and five percentage points to the decline in operating income growth for the quarter and the first 36 weeks of 2009, respectively.

Net income attributable to Bottling LLC for the third quarter was $418 million, which increased nine percent versus the prior year. The increase for the quarter includes a net after-tax gain of $43 million, resulting from the benefit of tax audit settlements and mark-to-market gains, less restructuring charges. These items contributed 11 percentage points to the growth rate for the quarter. The remaining two percentage point decline for the quarter was driven by higher interest expense on third party loans and lower interest income generated from loans made to PBG. This was partially offset by a lower effective tax rate and foreign currency transactional losses incurred in the prior year.

Net income attributable to Bottling LLC was $777 million for the first 36 weeks of 2009, remaining flat versus the prior year. The results for the year-to-date period include a net after-tax gain of $59 million, resulting from the benefit of tax audit settlements and mark-to-market gains, less restructuring charges. These items contributed eight percent to the growth rate year-to-date. The remaining eight percent decrease year-to-date was driven by higher interest expense on third party loans and lower interest income generated from loans made to PBG. This was partially offset by a lower effective tax rate for the year and the benefit from foreign currency transactional gains.

U.S. & Canada

In our U.S. & Canada segment, net revenues increased one percent in the quarter and were flat for the year-to-date period. Net revenues results for the quarter and year-to-date period reflect improvements in rate per case partially offset by volume declines and the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Net revenue per case on a currency neutral basis improved by three percent for the quarter and four percent for the year-to-date period, driven by rate increases taken on the majority of our packages to offset rising raw material costs and improve profitability. Reported net revenue per case increased two percent for both the quarter and the year-to-date period, which includes a one percentage point and two percentage point negative impact from foreign currency translation for the quarter and the year-to-date period, respectively.

U.S. & Canada

In our U.S. & Canada segment, net revenues were flat for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. The results for both the quarter and year-to-date periods reflect improvements in net pricing, partially offset by volume declines and the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Net revenue per case on a currency neutral basis improved by three percent for both the quarter and year-to-date periods, driven by rate increases to offset rising raw material costs and improve profitability. Reported net revenue per case increased two percent for both the quarter and year-to-date periods, which includes the negative impact from foreign currency translation of one percentage point for the quarter and two percentage points for the year-to-date period.

Europe

In our Europe segment, net revenues declined 2817 percent for the quarter and 22 percent year-to-date ~~period~~, due primarily to the negative impact of foreign currency translation and volume declines. Growth in net revenue per case on a currency neutral basis of ~~eight~~seven percent for the quarter and ~~nine~~ eight percent ~~for the~~ year-to-date ~~period~~ was driven primarily by rate actions and disciplined promotional spending. Europe’s reported net revenue per case declined 1613 percent for the quarter and 1514 percent ~~for the~~ year-to-date ~~period~~, which includes athe ~~24 percentage point~~ negative impact from foreign currency translation of ~~for~~20 percentage ~~both~~points for the quarter and 22 percentage points for the year-to-date period.

Mexico

In our Mexico segment, declines in net revenues of 2417 percent for the quarter were driven by the negative impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by growth in volume and currency neutral net revenue per case. On a year-to-date ~~period~~ basis, ~~reflect~~net revenue decreased 21 percent reflecting the negative impact of foreign currency translation and ~~lower~~ volume declines, partially offset by improvements in currency neutral net revenue per case. Net revenue per case on a currency neutral basis grew six percent for both the quarter and year-to-date ~~period~~periods, ~~primarily~~ primarily due to rate increases to drive margin improvement.

U.S. & Canada

In our U.S. & Canada segment, operating income ~~increased~~was ~~two~~flat ~~percent~~ for the quarter and ~~three~~increased two percent ~~for the~~ year-to-date ~~period~~, driven by anincreases ~~improvement~~ in operating activities and the positive impact of acquisitions, partially offset by the negative impact ~~from~~of ~~foreign~~ currency translation ~~and items affecting comparability listed above~~. Increases in operating activities were driven by cost and productivity savings and gross profit per case improvement, partially offset by volume declines.

On a currency neutral basis, gross profit per case improved one percent for the quarter and ~~three~~two percent ~~for the~~ year-to-date ~~period~~ driven by growth in net revenue per case, which more than offset higher raw material costs. Reported gross profit per case ~~declined~~was ~~one~~flat ~~percent~~ for both the quarter and ~~improved one percent for the~~ year-to-date ~~period~~ periods, which includes athe ~~two percentage point~~ negative impact from foreign currency translation ~~for~~of ~~both~~one percentage point for the quarter and two percentage points for the year-to-date period.

SD&A improved ~~three~~two percent for ~~both~~ the quarter and ~~the~~ year-to-date. ~~period~~The ~~due~~decline in SD&A expenses for both the quarter and year-to-date reflects lower costs resulting from productivity initiatives and volume declines coupled with athe ~~two~~favorable ~~percentage point positive~~ impact from foreign currency translation,. ~~partially~~Foreign currency ~~offset~~translation bycontributed ~~increased~~one ~~costs~~percentage point and two percentage points to the decline in ~~connection~~SD&A ~~with~~growth ~~employee~~for ~~related~~the ~~benefits~~quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively.

Europe

In our Europe segment, operating income ~~declines~~was flat for the quarter and declined 15 percent year-to-date ~~period were~~ driven primarily by decreases in volume and the negative impact of foreign currency, partially offset by ~~declines~~additional income from our equity investment in ~~SD&A~~Russia.

Reported gross profit per case in Europe declined 2115 percent for the quarter and 1917 percent ~~for the~~ year-to-date ~~period~~, which includes athe ~~21 percentage point~~ negative impact from foreign currency translation ~~for~~of ~~both~~17 percentage points for the quarter and 20 percentage points for the year-to-date period. Gross profit per case on a currency neutral basis ~~was~~increased ~~flat~~two percent for the quarter and ~~increased~~three ~~two~~ percent ~~for the~~ year-to-date ~~period~~ driven by strong rate increases which offset higher raw material costs. ~~Increases~~resulting infrom ~~raw material costs in Europe were primarily due to~~ the ~~negative impact of~~ foreign ~~currency~~ currency transactional ~~costs~~impact ~~resulting~~for ~~from~~ U.S. dollar ~~and Euro~~ denominated purchases ~~in this segment~~.

SD&A in Europe improved 2829 percent for the quarter and 27 percent ~~for the~~ year-to-date ~~period~~, which includes a ~~21 percentage point~~ benefit from foreign currency translation ~~for~~of ~~both~~14 percentage points for the quarter and 18 percentage points for the year-to-date period.

~~Mexico~~30

In our Mexico segment, operating income declines for the quarter and year-to-date period were due to decreases in volume growth, partially offset by improved pricing actions and lower costs resulting from productivity initiatives.

Reported gross profit per case declined 21 percent for both the quarter and the year-to-date period which includes a negative impact from foreign currency translation of 23 percentage points for the quarter and 24 percentage points for the year-to-date period. Gross profit per case on a currency neutral basis increased two percent for the quarter and three percent for the year-to-date period, reflecting solid margin management which offset rising raw material costs. Higher raw material costs were driven by the negative impact of foreign currency transactional costs resulting from U.S. dollar denominated purchases.

SD&A improved 24 percent for the quarter and 23 percent for the year-to-date period which includes a 23 percentage point benefit from foreign currency translation for both the quarter and the year-to-date period. Restructuring charges increased SD&A by three percentage points for the quarter and two percentage points for the year-to-date period. The remaining decrease in SD&A growth for the quarter and year-to-date period was driven by lower costs associated with volume declines and reduced operating costs attributable to improved route productivity.

Mexico

In our Mexico segment, operating income declined five percent for the quarter and 29 percent year-to-date. Restructuring charges and the negative impact of foreign currency translation contributed 44 percentage points and 41 percentage points to the decline in operating income growth for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. The remaining improvement in operating results for both the quarter and year-to-date periods were driven by improved pricing actions and lower costs resulting from productivity initiatives taken during 2009.

Reported gross profit per case declined 19 percent for the quarter and 20 percent year-to-date, which includes the negative impact from foreign currency translation of 24 percentage points for the quarter and 23 percentage points for the year-to-date period. Gross profit per case on a currency neutral basis increased five percent for the quarter and three percent year-to-date, reflecting solid margin management and cost savings from productivity initiatives, which offset rising raw material costs. Higher raw material costs were driven by the negative impact of foreign currency transactional costs resulting from U.S. dollar denominated purchases.

SD&A improved 21 percent for the quarter and 22 percent year-to-date which includes a 23 percentage point benefit from foreign currency translation for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. Restructuring charges increased SD&A by two percentage points for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. The remaining decrease in SD&A growth for the quarter and year-to-date was driven by improved route and cost productivity initiatives.

Corporate

Corporate primarily reflects a net gain of $4 million for both the quarter and year-to-date periods related to the mark-to-market of commodity derivatives used to hedge against price changes associated with certain commodities utilized primarily in our U.S. production process.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $64 million in the ~~second~~third quarter and $2630 million on a year-to-date basis versus the prior year, largely due to higher debt levels associated with the issuance of $750 million of senior notes in January 2009 and the pre-funding of our February 2009 $1.3 billion debt maturity.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased $910 million in the ~~second~~third quarter and $2434 million on a year-to-date basis versus the prior year, driven primarily by lower effective interest rates on loans made to PBG.

Other Non-operating Income, net

~~Other~~During the quarter, other net non-operating ~~income~~expenses ~~was~~decreased by $115 million ~~for~~versus the prior year due to transactional losses incurred in Europe during the third quarter ~~and~~of 2008. On a year-to-date basis, net non-operating income increased $4 million ~~for~~versus the ~~first~~prior ~~24 weeks of 2009~~year, driven primarily by foreign currency transactional gains recorded in ~~the quarter resulting from strengthening currencies in~~ Europe ~~and Mexico~~.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily reflects PepsiCo’s ownership in Bottling LLC of 6.6 percent, coupled with their 40 percent ownership in the PR Beverages venture. The increase of $211 million ~~decrease~~ in the ~~second~~third quarter and $9 million on a year-to-date basis was primarily driven by ~~lower~~higher income ingenerated by the PR Beverages venture.

Income Tax Expense

We are a limited liability company, classified as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes and, as such, generally will pay limited U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. Our federal and state distributive shares of income, deductions and credits are allocated to our owners based on their percentage of ownership. However, certain domestic and foreign affiliates pay taxes in their respective jurisdictions and record related deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

~~Our effective tax rate for the 24 weeks ended June 13, 2009 was a benefit of 2.7 percent~~31 compared with our effective tax rate of 6.5 percent for the 24 weeks ended June 14, 2008. The decrease in our 2009 effective tax rate was primarily driven by a settlement with the Canadian tax authorities related to an issue in dispute for 1999-2005 tax years, which resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $29 million. These audit settlements benefited our effective tax rate by approximately 8.3 percentage points. In addition, in 2009, we have certain tax planning strategies that are favorably impacting our tax provision.

Our effective tax rate for the 36 weeks ended September 5, 2009 was a benefit of 3.8 percent compared with our effective tax rate of 6.6 percent for the 36 weeks ended September 6, 2008. The decrease in our 2009 effective tax rate was primarily driven by various audit settlements in our major jurisdictions, which resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $75 million. These audit settlements benefited our effective tax rate by approximately 9.5 percentage points. In addition, in 2009, we have certain tax planning strategies that are favorably impacting our tax provision, coupled with lower reserves and interest charges as a result of the audit settlements.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash Flows

2436 Weeks Ended ~~June~~September 135, 2009 vs. ~~June~~September 146, 2008

Bottling LLC generated $~~426~~1,021 million of net cash from operations, an increase of $~~201~~96 million from 2008. The increase in net cash provided by operations was driven primarily by the timing of disbursements and ~~higher~~collections ~~interest~~of ~~received from the note receivable from PBG~~receivables, partially offset by an a $88106 million pension contribution made in 2009.

Net cash used for investments was $~~431~~785 million, a decrease of $84700 million from 2008. The decrease in cash used for investments was due to $750 million of payments made in 2008 associated with our investment in JSC Lebedyansky (“Lebedyansky”), which included $142 million of restricted cash that was used for the remaining tender offer and lower capital expenditures, in 2009. This was partially offset by higher acquisition spending and a loan made to ~~our~~ Lebedyansky ~~non-controlled~~in ~~affiliate~~2009, which was contemplated as part of the initial capitalization of the purchase of Lebedyansky between PepsiCo and us, ~~and~~coupled with higher ~~acquisition spending~~net issuances of notes receivable from PBG.

Net cash used for financing activities was $~~418~~452 million, an increase of $~~636~~961 million from 2008. This increase in cash used for financing activities reflects the repayment of our $1.3 billion bond and lower proceeds from short-term borrowings, partially offset by the issuance of a $750 million bond. Also reflected in financing activities in 2008 was $308 million of cash received from PepsiCo for their proportional share in the acquisition of Lebedyansky and Sobol-Aqua JSC by PR Beverages.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of cash include cash from our operating activities and the issuance of debt and bank borrowings. We believe that these cash inflows will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures, benefit plan contributions, acquisitions and working capital requirements for PBG and us for the foreseeable future. Our liquidity remains healthy and management does not expect that it will be materially impacted in the near-future.

During the first quarter of 2009, we issued $750 million in senior notes, with a coupon rate of 5.125 percent, maturing in 2019. The net proceeds of the offering, together with a portion of the proceeds from the offering of our senior notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2008, were used to repay our senior notes due at their scheduled maturity on February 17, 2009. The next significant scheduled debt maturity is not until 2012.

Contractual Obligations

As of ~~June~~September 135, 2009, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of ~~business~~ business in the contractual obligations disclosed in Item 7 toincluded within our ~~Annual~~Current Report on Form 108-K ~~for~~dated ~~the fiscal year ended December~~September 2716, ~~2008~~2009, under the caption “Contractual Obligations”.

We are party to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While the results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements, results of operations or cash flows.

For further information about our legal proceedings see Note 14 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008 with the exception of the following:

~~Uncertainty~~PBG’s ~~resulting~~pending ~~from~~merger with PepsiCo’s ~~unsolicited~~may ~~proposal~~cause todisruption ~~purchase~~in ~~all~~our ~~outstanding~~business ~~shares of~~and, ~~PBG~~if ~~that~~the itpending merger does not ~~already~~occur, ~~own~~we ~~and~~will ~~related~~have ~~matters~~incurred ~~could~~significant ~~adversely~~expenses ~~affect~~and ~~our~~may ~~business~~need ~~and~~to pay a termination ~~financial~~fee ~~results~~under the merger agreement.

33 Each share of PBG common stock held by PBG as treasury stock, held by PepsiCo or held by Metro, and each share of PBG Class B common stock held by PepsiCo or Metro, in each case immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, will be canceled, and no payment will be made with respect thereto. Each share of PBG common stock and PBG Class B common stock owned by any subsidiary of PepsiCo other than Metro immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will automatically be converted into the right to receive 0.6432 of a share of PepsiCo common stock.

The announcement of the pending merger, whether or not consummated, may result in a loss of key personnel and may disrupt our sales and operations, which may have an impact on our financial performance. The merger agreement generally requires us to operate our business in the ordinary course pending consummation of the merger, but includes certain contractual restrictions on the conduct of our business that may affect our ability to execute on our business strategies and attain our financial goals. Additionally, the announcement of the pending merger, whether or not consummated, may impact our relationships with third parties.

The completion of the pending merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others (i) adoption of the merger agreement by PBG’s shareholders, (ii) the absence of certain legal impediments to the consummation of the pending merger, (iii) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and obtaining antitrust approvals in certain other jurisdictions, (iv) subject to certain materiality exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by PBG and PepsiCo, respectively, and compliance by PBG and PepsiCo with PBG’s and PepsiCo’s respective obligations under the merger agreement, (v) declaration of the effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed

by PepsiCo on October 1, 2009, and (vi) the non-occurrence a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the merger agreement) on PBG or PepsiCo.

If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, such as if PBG’s Board of Directors fails to recommend adoption of the merger agreement to PBG’s shareholders or to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain shareholder approval, or if PBG’s Board of Directors recommends a different Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the merger agreement), then we would be required to pay PepsiCo a termination fee of approximately $165 million.

We cannot predict whether the closing conditions for the pending merger set forth in the merger agreement will be satisfied. As a result, we cannot assure you that the pending merger will be completed. If the closing conditions for the pending merger set forth in the merger agreement are not satisfied or waived pursuant to the merger agreement, or if the transaction is not completed for any other reason, the market price of PBG’s common stock may decline. In addition, if the pending merger does not occur, we will nonetheless remain liable for significant expenses that we have incurred related to the transaction.

Additionally, PBG and members of its Board of Directors have been named in a number of lawsuits relating to the pending merger as more fully described in Note 14 — “Contingencies” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These lawsuits or any future lawsuits may be time consuming and expensive. These matters, alone or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
