Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Director received phantom stock units totaling 2,541.6974 over two reported entries, increasing holdings to 32,310.1682.

The filing shows director compensation delivered as phantom stock units under PepsiCo's Director Deferral Program, with dividend reinvestment and service-based grants recorded on 09/30/2025 and 10/01/2025. These units are payable one-for-one in common shares, which increases the reporting person's beneficial ownership without an open-market purchase.

This is an administrative compensation event rather than a market transaction; it changes outstanding beneficial ownership figures and will convert to actual shares according to the program's payout rules.
