Press Releases

CAMDEN, N.J., Jun 16, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) –Campbell Soup Company(NYSE:CPB) today announced that Pop
Secret(R) premium popcorn from Diamond Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ: DMND) and
BIC stationery products (including pens, pencils and markers) will
become new participating partners in the company’s long-running Labels
for Education (LFE) program. Since being launched in 1973, the Labels
for Education program has provided over $110 million in school
supplies and educational materials to help enrich thousands of school
programs in the areas of arts, athletics and academics. Today’s
announcement marks the first product partnerships in the program’s
37-year history.

In recent years, the Labels for Education program has enlisted a
number of programming partners, including Safe America(TM) and Harlem
Globetrotters(R) Character Building, to help enrich the program’s
educational offerings. A partnership with the GRAMMY Foundation is the
program’s newest, and it has helped promote the importance of music
education while bringing Artist Ambassadors to schools as part of the
“GRAMMY in the Schools” initiative. With the addition of Pop Secret and
BIC, consumers who participate in the program will have greater
opportunity to earn LFE points for their designated school of choice.
These points are used to redeem for valuable educational and enrichment
materials.

“The addition of new, widely recognizable premium brands like Pop Secret
and BIC gives families that participate in the Labels for Education
program a new way to secure points that can be used to provide more
materials to enrich the academic, artistic and athletic opportunities
for their schools,” said Mike Salzberg, President – Campbell Sales
Company. “We are especially excited that these partners will be
promoting our partnership on their full line of products, including over
30 different offerings of Pop Secret popcorn and BIC pens, pencils and
stationery products.”

Newly labeled Pop Secret products featuring the Labels for Education
logo are expected to arrive on store shelves beginning in July in time
for back to school promotions. “As part of our commitment to adding
value to our consumers and retail partners, we are proud to become an
inaugural marketing partner in this iconic program,” said Andy Allcock,
Pop Secret brand Marketing Director. The Labels for Education
logo, which will be featured on the outside of each box of Pop Secret
popcorn, will designate that the item will earn either 5 or 10-LFE
points, which can then be used by schools to secure educational
materials.

All BIC pens, pencils, markers and BIC(R) Wite-Out(R) Brand correction tape
products are eligible to earn 1, 5 or 10 points in the LFE program
(points vary depending upon product). “BIC has always been about quality
and value. Through the Labels for Education program BIC is
continuing to provide consumers with additional value,” said Traci
Gentry, Senior Director of Marketing for BIC USA Inc. “BIC products have
had a presence in classrooms and in the backpacks of students for many
years–we are excited to participate in this program, which helps to
support the needs of schools throughout the country.”
