On November 10, 2023, Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of its existing $2.4 billion commercial paper program pursuant to which the Company may issue short-term unsecured commercial paper notes from time to time pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). After giving effect to the increase, the Company will be able to issue commercial paper notes in an aggregate face or principal amount of up to $4.0 billion, consistent in sizing with the Company’s revolving credit agreement. Amounts available under the program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time.

The net proceeds from the program may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy commercial paper notes under the Company’s commercial paper program.
