Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     None of the Reporting Persons have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in the actions listed under Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D, except that Starquest may in the future determine to purchase additional Shares in the ordinary course of its investment activities, as market and other conditions dictate, subject to approval from the Affiliated Transaction Committee of PepsiAmericas.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     (a) The responses of each Reporting Person to Items (11) and (13) on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.
