CAMDEN, N.J., Aug 1, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Campbell Soup Company today
announced that Pierre Laubies, President of Campbell Europe, has resigned to
pursue a new career opportunity. Laubies has led the company’s European business
unit since January 2000. He will remain with Campbell until a successor has been
named.

Campbell President and Chief Executive Officer Douglas R. Conant commented,
“Pierre Laubies has made important contributions to our company, most notably by
leading the acquisition of the European Culinary Brands from Unilever in 2001.
We have successfully integrated these businesses across Europe into Campbell. As
a result, our European portfolio has nearly doubled in size, is more
strategically focused on soup and sauces, and is better positioned for
profitable growth. We appreciate Pierre’s efforts in a highly competitive
marketplace and wish him all the best in the future.”
