ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the discussion set forth under Part I, “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our 2025 Form 10-K and Part II, “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 21, 2026.

As previously disclosed, on June 20, 2024, the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, Maryland filed a lawsuit against PepsiCo, Inc., Frito-Lay, Inc., Frito-Lay North America, Inc., and several other unrelated parties (the Baltimore Matter). On July 21, 2025, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland dismissed with prejudice all claims except for public nuisance. The court has scheduled oral argument on the public nuisance claim to take place during our fiscal quarter ending September 5, 2026. Please refer to Part I, “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information.

In addition, we and our subsidiaries are party to a variety of litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries and investigations. While the results of the NYS Matter, Los Angeles Matter and USVI Matter (each, as defined in our 2025 Form 10-K), the Baltimore Matter and each such other litigation, claim, legal or regulatory proceeding, inquiry and investigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of the foregoing is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See also “Item 1. Business – Regulatory Matters” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2025 Form 10-K.
