Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 22, 2006, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Campbell Soup Company (the “Company”) adopted a resolution approving the director compensation program described below, and the Governance Committee of the Board determined the target for the compensation that will be paid to the Company’s directors in calendar year 2007.
Director Compensation for calendar year 2007. The Company’s director compensation program is designed to deliver annual compensation at the median of a group of 23 companies in the food and consumer products industries. The Governance Committee of the Board determines the median compensation target for the program. Director compensation is paid on a calendar year basis. The Board approved a new director compensation program effective January 1, 2007. Under the program, annual compensation will be delivered 50% in unrestricted Company stock (based on the closing stock price on the last trading day of each calendar year); and approximately 50% in cash (depending on the amount of committee retainers paid to each director). Directors may elect to receive additional Company stock in lieu of the cash payments. Directors may elect to defer all or a portion the cash payments and /or the annual stock grant.
In accordance with the Board resolution, the Governance Committee of the Board determined that median annual director compensation for calendar year 2007 should be approximately $164,000. The components of compensation will be as follows:
         
Annual Board retainer delivered in Company shares
  $ 82,000  
Annual Board retainer delivered in cash
  $ 65,600  
 
Annual cash retainer for Audit committee chair
  $ 20,000  
Annual cash retainer for committee chairs (other than Audit)
  $ 10,000  
 
Annual cash retainer for Audit committee members
  $ 10,000  
Annual cash retainer for committee members (other than Audit)
  $ 6,000  
In addition to the compensation described above, the non-executive Chairman of the Board receives an annual retainer of $450,000.
