PURCHASE, N.Y., April 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- PepsiCo, Inc.
(NASDAQ: PEP) ("PepsiCo") announced today that due to continued
public health precautions regarding in-person gatherings given the
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and to support the health and
well-being of PepsiCo's shareholders, employees and communities,
the format of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders has been
changed to a virtual-only meeting, instead of an in-person
meeting. As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be
held on Wednesday, May 6, 2020, at
9:00 am Eastern Daylight Time.
Shareholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting
physically in person. The virtual meeting and live audio
webcast can be accessed at
www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PEP2020.
As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting
previously distributed, shareholders as of the close of business on
March 2, 2020, the record date, are
entitled to participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting. To
vote or submit questions during the virtual meeting, shareholders
must enter the 16-digit control number included on the proxy card,
voting instruction form, notice or email that they previously
received. Online access to the audio webcast will open
shortly prior to the start of the 2020 Annual Meeting. Guests
without a control number may also attend the meeting, but will not
have the option to vote shares or ask questions.
All shareholders, whether or not planning to attend the Annual
Meeting, are encouraged to vote promptly in advance of the meeting
by using one of the methods described in the proxy materials for
the Annual Meeting. The proxy card and voting instruction
form included with the previously distributed proxy materials (or
