This Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on June 19, 2020 (the “Schedule 13D”) is filed to report the distribution of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Keurig Dr Pepper Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), by BDT Oak Acquisition Vehicle, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“BDT Oak LP”), as described in Item 4 below.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On September 3, 2021, the general partner of BDT Oak LP entered into an irrevocable plan of distribution (the “Plan of Distribution”) pursuant to which BDT Oak LP is distributing 51,529,974 shares of Common Stock (the “Distributed Shares”) to certain investors in funds affiliated with BDT Capital Partners, LLC (“BDT CP”) that invested alongside those funds, including 5,633,506 shares to affiliates of BDT CP. BDT Oak LP expects the Plan of Distribution to be completed on or about September 9, 2021. The Distributed Shares will not be subject to any restrictions on transfer once held by the investors. BDT Oak LP will continue to own 62,890,006 shares of Common Stock, which are not being distributed.

The foregoing description of the Plan of Distribution does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)-(b)(i) BDT Oak LP beneficially owns 62,890,006 shares of Common Stock, which represents 4.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of August 31, 2021, as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on September 3, 2021.

By virtue of the relationships described under Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, to share the power to vote or dispose, or to direct the voting or disposition of, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by BDT Oak LP.

BDTCP GP I, LLC (“BDTCP GP I”) may be deemed to beneficially own an additional 2,287,968 shares, representing 0.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. BDT CP may be deemed to beneficially own an additional 3,707,183 shares (which includes the shares held by BDTCP GP I noted above), representing 0.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. BDTP GP, LLC (“BDTP”) may be deemed to beneficially own an additional 5,441,625 shares (which includes the shares held by BDTCP GP I and BDT CP noted above), representing 0.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Byron D. Trott may be deemed to beneficially own an additional 5,633,506 shares (which includes the shares held by BDTCP GP I, BDT CP and BDTP noted above), representing 0.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims membership in a group with each other Reporting Person. The filing of this Amendment No. 2 shall not be construed as an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock that such Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, all of the Reporting Persons other than BDT Oak LP disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock reported in this Amendment No. 2.

(c) Except for the transaction pursuant to the Plan of Distribution described herein, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Stock of the Company during the past 60 days.

(d) Except as stated elsewhere in this Item 5 or in Item 6, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock reported herein.

(e) Due to the adoption of the Plan of Distribution, all of the Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own more than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on September 3, 2021.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

In connection with the transaction referred to in Item 4 above, the general partner of BDT Oak LP entered into the Plan of Distribution in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.

1.		Plan of Distribution.
2.		Joint Filing Agreement.*
