Condemns the Company’s Statement Celebrating its Ability to Continue Hiding Material Facts from Shareholders as Case Proceeds

Third Point LLC (LSE: TPOU) ("Third Point"), a New York-based investment firm managing approximately $17 billion in assets and a holder of approximately 7% of the outstanding common shares of Campbell Soup Company (NYSE: CPB) ("Campbell" or the "Company"), this afternoon issued the following statement:

“We are pleased that the Judge made clear that Third Point’s case to determine whether Campbell’s Board has misled shareholders will proceed. Although expedited discovery was not granted, shareholders deserve to know whether the current Board has acted truthfully and has put interests of shareholders ahead of those of insiders. We are proceeding with broad discovery, depositions, and document requests related to the strategic review process, executive compensation practices, and Bennett Dorrance’s outstanding loans via his pledged shares.

We believe today’s ruling represents an inflection point for shareholders, who should ask themselves one question: Should I vote to re-elect a Board of Directors that is committed to concealing facts to avoid accountability for its dismal record, and using shareholders’ money to do so? This is the same Entrenched Board that has presided over years of dreadful performance, including a 20% drop in share price this year alone. Campbell’s statement is an insult to shareholders who deserve a Company focused on improving its worst-in-class performance, not spending their money to try to hide the facts.”

As a reminder, we encourage all shareholders to also review The Independents and Fiction vs. Fact to understand more about why the Independent Slate will respect shareholder voices, end the Entrenched Board’s reign of error, and set Campbell on a new and profitable path. We urge all shareholders to VOTE THE WHITE CARD to elect the Independent Slate.

Your Vote Is Important, No Matter How Many or How Few Shares You Own!

PLEASE REMEMBER TO CAN THE COMPANY’S CARD! If you return a Campbell’s proxy card – even by simply indicating “withhold” on the Company’s slate – you will revoke any vote you had previously submitted for the Third Point nominees on the WHITE proxy card.
