director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant, or any person serving in the same capacity
in any other enterprise at the request of the registrant, under certain circumstances. Article

This registration statement also covers any additional shares of common stock which become
issuable under the PepsiAmericas, Inc. 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan by reason of any stock
dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the
receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of
common stock.
(2)
Consists of (a) 6,016,813 shares of common stock issuable under the PepsiAmericas, Inc. 2009
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2009 LTIP") and (b) 1,983,187 shares of common stock (the
"Prior Shares") issuable under the 2009 LTIP, which shares remained available for issuance
under the PepsiAmericas, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2000 SIP") upon shareholder
approval of the 2009 LTIP. The Prior Shares were previously registered under Form S-8 (File
No. 333-118392). Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of 1933, this Registration
Statement is deemed to include such previously registered Prior Shares. In accordance with
Rule 429(b), upon effectiveness, this registration statement will also act as a post-effective
amendment to Registration No. 333-118392, thereby deregistering the 1,983,187 Prior Shares
which were registered thereunder, but not issued thereunder.
(3)
Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee under Rule 457(h) of the
Securities Act and based upon the average of the high and low sale prices for such stock on
May 12, 2009, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange.
(4)
Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, the above filing fee is calculated on 6,016,813 shares of common stock issuable under the
2009 LTIP because the $2,785.91 filing fee related to the 1,983,187 Prior Shares registered under this
Form S-8 was previously paid as a portion of the $14,394.39 filing fee submitted in connection with the filing of PepsiAmericas Inc.'s prior Form
S-8 (File No. 333-118392) on August 20, 2004. Accordingly, no filing fee is due for such Prior Shares.
(5)
Rights to purchase Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock initially are attached to
and trade with the shares of common stock registered hereby. Value attributable to such
rights, if any, is reflected in the market price of the common stock.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The SEC allows us to "incorporate by reference" the information we file with them, which means
that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to documents we file with the
SEC. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this registration
statement. Information that we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede
this information. We incorporate by reference the documents listed below and any future filings we
will make with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act until all of
the shares covered by this registration statement have been sold or deregistered:
•
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009;
•
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 4, 2009;
•
Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on January 30, 2009, February 10, 2009, April
21, 2009, April 29, 2009 (as to Item 8.01 only) and May 7, 2009;
•
The description of our common stock, $0.01 par value, and the description of
our preferred share purchase rights associated with the common stock, contained in
registration statements we filed to register the common stock and the rights under the
Exchange Act, including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating
such descriptions; and
•
Definitive Schedule 14A (Proxy Statement) filed on March 18, 2009.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permits indemnification of
directors, officers, employees and agents of corporations under certain conditions and subject to
certain limitations. Article V of the registrant's By-Laws provides for indemnification of any
director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant, or any person serving in the same capacity
in any other enterprise at the request of the registrant, under certain circumstances. Article
NINTH of the registrant's Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the liability of directors of the
registrant under certain circumstances for breaches of fiduciary duty to the registrant and its
shareholders.
Directors and officers of the registrant are insured, at the expense of the registrant,
against certain liabilities which might arise out of their employment and which might not be
subject to indemnification under the By-Laws.
The registrant also maintains a director and officer liability insurance policy.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however,
That:
(A) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration
statement is on Form S-8 (§ 239.16b of this chapter), and the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished
to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement; and
(B) Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 (§239.13 of this chapter) or Form F-3 (§ 239.33 of this
chapter) and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) that is part of the registration
statement.
(C)
Provided further, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is for an offering of asset-backed securities on Form S-1 (§ 239.13 of this
chapter), and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment is provided
pursuant to Item 1100(c) of Regulation AB (§ 229.1100(c)).

Table of Contents
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) If the registrant is a foreign private issuer, to file a post-effective amendment to the
registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at
the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and
information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that
the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial
statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure
that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial
statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a
post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required
by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such financial statements and
information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (§ 230.430B of this chapter):
(A)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(3) (§ 230.424(b)(3) of this chapter) shall be deemed to be part of the
registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of
and included in the registration statement; and
(B)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) (§ 230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this
chapter) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating
to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (§
230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing
the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall
be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the
earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness
or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering
described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes
of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date
shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement
relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that
prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
Provided, however,
that
no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is
part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of
contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any
statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was
part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such effective date; or
4
Table of Contents
(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C (§ 230.430C of this chapter), each prospectus
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other
than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on
Rule 430A (§ 230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the
registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.
Provided, however,
that
no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a
purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any
statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the
registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act
of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting
method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the
offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the
undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of
the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and where applicable, each filing of
an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
