Insights
Director acquired phantom units and timing of payout is post‑service, increasing reported beneficial ownership to 7,012.1328 shares.
The transactions are reported as acquisitions of phantom stock units under the PepsiCo Director Deferral Program, including reinvestment of dividend equivalents and service-based awards. The filing explicitly states prices paid for reinvested units ranged from $132.04 to $140.44 and a separate award listed at $143.14.
This matters because the reported increase in beneficial ownership reflects compensation delivered as deferred, share-settled units rather than open‑market purchases; payout is conditional on the reporting person’s future departure from the board, which affects liquidity and transferability of those units.
