CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–May. 22, 2009–

role. Throughout her career, she has consistently created value for the
organizations at which she worked. She will be a welcome addition to our
Finance team. I fully anticipate a smooth transition due to our
strong Finance organization. I also want to acknowledge Len’s many
contributions to Campbell through the years.”

Commenting on Griehs’s departure, Douglas R. Conant, Campbell’s
President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Len Griehs will leave a
lasting legacy on Campbell. He has made important contributions to our
company, many of which pre-date my arrival. Since I became CEO in 2001,
Len has been a partner and trusted advisor. He also has been a friend. I
wish Len and his wife Gretchen and their family all the best as they
embark on a new chapter in their lives. Len has truly made a difference
at Campbell. He will be greatly missed.”
