CAMDEN, N.J., Jun 09, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) –Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) executives will be joined by New
Jersey Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno, Camden County Freeholder Louis
Cappelli and Camden Mayor Dana Redd to celebrate the grand opening of
the company’s new employee center. The ceremony will be held in Camden
on Thursday, June 10, 2010.

Hundreds of community members also will attend the event to mark the

Campbell plans to invest up to $93 million in the expansion project,
which includes the new building, ongoing enhancements to existing
Campbell facilities and its 40-acre campus, and the acquisition of land
for future redevelopment. The expansion is designed to help Campbell

spur increased revitalization in Camden.

With the completion of the new building, Campbell’s Camden World
Headquarters will include approximately 750,000 square feet of office,
research and development, and training space. Features of the new
Campbell Employee Center include:

• A state-of-the-art café with a custom soup bar as the centerpiece; the
  soup bar will serve up to 11 different soups each day;
• An exhibition hall serves as the signature of the new building with
  floor-to-ceiling windows and the iconic “Campbell’s” logo;
• An open-air courtyard for employees, as well as special company and
  community events. The courtyard features a vegetable and flower garden
  custom-designed by the Camden Children’s Garden;
• An innovative training and development center called Campbell
  University;
• A fully-equipped fitness center for current and retired employees;
• A 2,600-square-foot company store.

The new building is part of a broader plan led by Campbell and supported
by the State of New Jersey, Camden County and Camden City that includes
efforts to develop a 100-acre office park in Camden’s Gateway District.
