On January 26, 2006, the Board of Directors of Campbell Soup Company approved an amendment to
Article IV, Section 2 of the company’s By-Laws, effective January 26, 2006. The amendment provides
that expenses incurred by any present, former or future director, officer or employee of the
company (a “Covered Person”) in connection with any action, lawsuit, investigation, or proceeding
(a “Proceeding”) will be paid by the company unless it is determined that the Covered Person is
not entitled to indemnification for such Proceeding. The previous By-Law provision provided that
the company would be obligated to pay such expenses only if the Covered Person was determined to be
entitled to indemnification for the Proceeding. A copy of the By-Laws, as amended, is filed as
