Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed, The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. ("PBG" or the "Company") adopted the accounting provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51 ("SFAS 160"), which addresses the accounting and reporting framework for noncontrolling interests by a parent company. SFAS 160 also addresses disclosure requirements to distinguish between interests of the parent and interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 became effective in the first quarter of 2009.
The provisions of SFAS 160 require that minority interest be renamed noncontrolling interests and that a company present a consolidated net income measure that includes the amount attributable to such noncontrolling interests for all periods presented. In addition, SFAS 160 requires reporting noncontrolling interests as a component of equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and below income tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As required by SFAS 160, we retrospectively applied the presentation to our prior year balances in our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-Q for each of our first and second quarters of 2009.
Based upon the effective date of SFAS 160, the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008 (the "2008 Form 10-K"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 20, 2009, did not reflect the adoption of SFAS 160. This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to reflect the retrospective presentation in accordance with SFAS 160 that was not yet effective for the financial statements originally filed with the Company's 2008 Form 10-K.
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, updates the following sections of the Company's 2008 Form 10-K to give effect to the foregoing:
• Item 6: Selected Financial Data

• Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

• Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (included in Item 7 - Management's Financial Review - Financial Statements)

- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

- Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

• Item 15: Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

In addition, the information included in Note 21 - Subsequent Events has been revised to reflect PBG's acceptance of the unsolicited offer and the definitive merger agreement with PepsiCo, Inc. ("PepsiCo"), under which PepsiCo will acquire all outstanding shares of PBG stock it does not already own. Exhibit 12, which is incorporated by reference herein, sets forth a revised Computation of Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges to give effect to the foregoing.
Exhibit 99.2, which is incorporated by reference herein, sets forth revisions to Bottling Group, LLC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008, as filed with the SEC on February 20, 2009, to give effect to the foregoing.
All other information in the 2008 Form 10-K remains unchanged, in all material respects, and has not been updated for events or developments that occurred subsequent to the filing of the 2008 Form 10-K with the SEC.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the information in Exhibits 12, 99.1 and 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein, should be read together with the Company's reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 21, 2009 and June 13, 2009 and the Company's reports on Form 8-K.
