Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On January 26, 2006, the Board of Directors of Campbell Soup Company approved an amendment to Article IV, Section 2 of the company’s By-Laws, effective January 26, 2006. The amendment provides that expenses incurred by any present, former or future director, officer or employee of the company (a “Covered Person”) in connection with any action, lawsuit, investigation, or proceeding (a “Proceeding”) will be paid by the company unless it is determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to indemnification for such Proceeding. The previous By-Law provision provided that the company would be obligated to pay such expenses only if the Covered Person was determined to be entitled to indemnification for the Proceeding. A copy of the By-Laws, as amended, is filed as Exhibit 3(i) to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
