Important LegaL InformatIon
Notice to participants in the Campbell Soup Company (the “Company”) 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
This brochure constitutes part of a prospectus covering securities that have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933. The Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Program, which is a program provided under the Plan,
gives participants the opportunity to receive awards including performance restricted stock units based on
Total Shareowner Return (TSR) ranking compared with TSRs of the companies in the S&P Packaged Foods
Group (PSUs), time-lapse restricted stock units (RSUs), performance restricted stock units based on Earnings
Per Share (EPS) goals (EPS Units) and stock options (collectively, the “awards”). Participation in the Plan is
covered by a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the SEC pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933. The maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be granted
pursuant to awards under the Plan is 13 million.
The Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”)
interprets and administers the LTI Program. Committee members are appointed by the Board of Directors of
the Company for a term of one year. Its decisions are final and conclusive with respect to interpretation of the
Plan and any awards. All awards are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and to such other terms
and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate, including the terms, restrictions, and provisions of this
brochure, and any agreement or statement related to each award.
All tax-related information in this brochure relates only to current U.S. tax laws. Tax information and related
administrative provisions may vary for participants outside the U.S. The Plan is not subject to provision of ERISA.
The Company expects to continue the Plan until its termination date of November 18, 2025, but reserves the
right to change or end the Plan at any time. If the Company does make a change or ends the Plan, you will be
notified. No such change or termination shall alter or impair any outstanding awards without the consent of the
participant. No award will be made after the plan’s termination date, but awards made prior to the termination
date may extend beyond that date.
The Company will provide without charge to each participant, upon request, a copy of any documents
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and such documents are incorporated by reference
herein. A request for information about the Plan, it’s administrators and any documents incorporated by
reference, should be directed to:

Executive Compensation Program
CreatIng sHareHoLder VaLUe
The Campbell Soup Company Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Program is designed to recognize your performance
and potential as well as reward you for our success in creating shareholder value. The LTI Program also provides
you with an opportunity to increase your ownership in the Company.
LtI eLIgIBILItY
You are eligible to participate in the LTI Program if, on August 1 prior to the grant date, you are a regular salaried
employee, Level E* or above, of the Company or its participating subsidiaries, and you are regularly scheduled
to work at least 20 hours(1) per week.
determInIng YoUr grant
Each job level has a competitive LTI target range. In the U.S., the target ranges are expressed as a percentage
of base salary. For participants outside the U.S., the target range for each job level is based on a U.S. dollar
range that is driven by competitive market data. To determine your grant, your manager will make a LTI
recommendation based on an assessment of your contribution during the fiscal year and your future potential.
grant VestIng and mIX
Depending on your level in the organization, F’18 LTI grants are comprised of stock options, performance-based
restricted stock units (PSUs) and time-lapse restricted stock units (RSUs). The actual mix of units in your LTI
grant is shown below:

• PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS (PSUs) - This portion of your LTI grant is based on
Company performance and may vest on the September 30 at the end of the three-year vesting
period. If any of the award vests, it is paid in shares in the month following that vesting date. The
number of PSUs you ultimately receive will be determined by the Company’s Total Shareholder Return
(TSR) ranking compared with the TSRs of the companies in the S&P Packaged Foods Group.
• TIME-LAPSE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS (RSUs) - This portion of your LTI grant vests based on the
passage of time and your continued employment with the Company. RSUs vest one-third per year
over three years on each September 30 following the grant date. One-third of your RSUs will be paid
in shares in the month following each vesting date.
• EPS PErformancE UnitS - For Executive Officers, EPS performance units are substituted for
RSUs in order to preserve the tax deductibility of this portion of Executive Officer’s LTI grants. EPS
performance units vest one-third per year over three years on each September 30 following the grant
date, provided the designated EPS goal is met in the first fiscal year of the grant. One-third of the EPS
Units will be paid in shares in the month following each vesting date.
• STOCK OPTIONS - Stock options provide the right to buy shares of Campbell stock at a fixed price
for up to ten years. As long as you remain an active employee, your options will vest one-third per
year over three years on each September 30 following the grant date. Please refer to the Stock
Option Program brochure for additional details.
Note: Once an award is paid and applicable tax liabilities are met, you may contact the LTI Program
administrator, UBS (www.ubs.com/onesource/cpb, within the U.S. 1-877-UBS-SOUP (or 1-877-827-
7687), or outside the U.S. 1-201-272-7643), to sell your shares. You may be subject to other Company
policies and limitations regarding the sale of Campbell stock, as described on page 6 of this brochure.
Here is a look at how vesting occurs:

PSU Award
At the end of the three-year performance period, which began at the start of F’18 and continues through
the end of F’20, the PSU portion of your grant is determined by the Company’s TSR ranking compared
with the TSRs of the companies in the S&P Packaged Foods Group. For the F’18 grant, you have the
opportunity to earn from 0 – 200% of the original number of PSUs granted based on this ranking. The
following schedule determines the units earned for different ranking results and lists the comparator
companies applicable to this grant.
In addition, the F’18 grant includes two modifiers to the performance/payout grid. There is a maximum
payout of 100% if Campbell’s absolute TSR is negative, regardless of performance against peers, and there
is a minimum payout of 25% if Campbell’s absolute TSR performance over the three-year period is at
least 10%, regardless of performance against peers.

Understanding TSR
TSR is the return on the stock, taking into account the change in the stock price over a given time period,
and assuming dividends are reinvested. Campbell performance over the three-year performance period will
be compared to that of our peer companies. TSR will be measured “point-to-point,” with the starting and
ending points based on the average 20-trading day closing stock prices at the end of Campbell’s fiscal years.
What happens if there is a change to the companies included in the S&P Packaged
Foods Group?
If a company is added to the S&P Packaged Foods Group in the first year of a three-year performance
period, the peer group will be adjusted effective as of the date of the change. The new company’s TSR
will be calculated using the average 20-day closing stock price for the 20 trading days immediately
following its addition to the group. If there is an addition to the S&P Packaged Foods Group in the
second or third fiscal year of the three-year performance period, no adjustment will be made to the
peer group during that performance period.
If a company is deleted from the peer group in the first year of a three-year performance period, it
will be deleted from the group retroactive to the beginning of the performance period. If a company
is deleted in the second or third year of a three-year performance period and continues to be traded
publicly as an independent entity, it will continue to be included in the group for the applicable
performance period(s). If such a company does not continue to be traded as an independent entity,
it will be deleted from the peer group retroactive to the beginning of the performance period. The TSR
results of the deleted company will have no effect on the measurement of the full three-year results.

dIVIdend eQUIVaLents
Dividend equivalents are accumulated during the respective vesting periods for PSUs, RSUs and EPS units and
paid in cash in a lump sum in the month after the underlying units vest.
Dividend equivalents are based on the actual number of units that vest.
With limited exceptions as outlined on pages 9, 10 and 11, if you leave before a PSU, RSU and EPS unit vesting
date, you will forfeit accumulated dividend equivalents.
Outside the U.S., the payment of dividend equivalents, if any, will be governed by local tax law.
Dividend equivalents cannot be reinvested automatically.
Executive Compensation Program
seLLIng YoUr stoCK - restrICtIons
Upon vesting, stock units are paid in shares. Once you own shares of Campbell stock, you may sell them like any
other shares you own. However, as an employee of the Company, you may be subject to special restrictions on
when you may sell your Campbell stock.
Specifically, if you have information that is considered “material” and has not yet been released to the public,
you may not buy or sell Campbell stock. Information is considered material if there is a likelihood that a
reasonable investor would consider that information important in deciding whether to buy, sell or hold Campbell
stock. Some examples of possible material information include any of the following unannounced to the public:
• Earning estimates
• Significant acquisitions or divestitures
• Significant new products
• Significant changes in operations
• Dividend increases or decreases
• Extraordinary management changes
If you buy or sell Campbell stock when you have this kind of information, you could be subject to civil and
criminal penalties under U.S. Federal securities laws.
In addition, certain employees who regularly receive confidential information about the Company can only buy
or sell Campbell stock during “trading windows.” The Legal Department notifies employees who are subject to
this limitation, and these employees must receive approval from the Legal Department in order to sell shares.
Also, you are subject to additional selling restrictions if you are covered by the Executive Stock Ownership
Program and have not yet met the ownership requirements. Please refer to the Executive Stock Ownership
Program brochure for more details.
Executive Officers may also be subject to restrictions under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 144.
If you have any questions about the appropriateness of selling your Campbell stock, please consult the
Legal Department.

taXatIon
Based on current law, this section provides a general description of expected U.S. federal income tax effects on
PSUs, RSUs and EPS units. Please note that this section does not address Social Security, state, local and foreign
taxes, and any other tax consequences that could apply to you based on your circumstances. In addition, the
Company is not guaranteeing any particular tax results related to your award. The Company will withhold taxes
and report income amounts to the IRS and other taxing authorities as required by applicable law.
Due to the complexity of the tax rules applicable to these awards, please consult your personal tax advisor
before making any decisions about your awards.
Within the United States
For participants subject to United States taxation (U.S. citizens, including those on expatriate assignments
to other countries, “green card” holders, and any others treated as U.S. tax residents), current federal tax
law results in the following tax treatment:
• Units are not subject to income taxation at the time they are granted
• When grants are paid in shares, the fair market value of the shares is taxable as ordinary income
• Dividend equivalents on units are taxable as ordinary income when they are received
In order to meet any federal, state or local tax withholding obligations with respect to an award under the
LTI Program, you may elect to have the Company, subject to procedures established by the Company:
• Withhold all or a portion of an LTI award;
• Withhold from your paycheck; or
• You may write a personal check to cover the withholding
If you are or become eligible for retirement during the applicable vesting period, the Company may be
required to collect FICA taxes from you prior to vesting in the units or receipt of shares.
If a portion of your award is included in income under Internal Revenue Code section 409A, that portion
will be distributed to you immediately.
As required under applicable laws, the Company reports plan payments and other plan-related information
to the appropriate governmental agencies.
Outside the United States
To the extent the Company is required to withhold foreign taxes in connection with your PSU’s, RSU’s, EPS
units and stock options, the Company may require you to make arrangements as the Company deems
necessary for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld. You may contact your local tax or
financial advisor for information on the tax treatment of your award and dividend equivalent payments.

Executive Compensation Program
InCentIVe CompensatIon CLaWBaCK poLICY
In September 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Campbell Soup Company Incentive
Compensation Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”) to better align our compensation practices with our
shareholders’ interests and ensure that incentive compensation is based upon accurate financial information.
The Clawback Policy allows for recovery of cash and equity incentive compensation of certain employees,(1)
which includes AIP awards and grants made under our LTI Program, in the event the Company is required to
prepare a material financial restatement due to fraud or intentional misconduct.
The Committee has sole discretion to determine whether and how to apply the Clawback Policy. In determining
whether to recover compensation, the Committee will consider whether the individual received incentive
compensation based on the original financial results that was in excess of the compensation that should have
been received based on the restated financial results. The Committee will also consider the accountability of the
individual for the restatement, including whether the individual engaged in the fraud or intentional misconduct.
A copy of the Clawback Policy can be found on the Winning With Integrity portal under Core Corporate Policies.
If you have any questions about the Clawback Policy, please contact the Legal Department.
F’18 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE Program | 8
( 1) The Clawback Policy covers Executive Officers, the Controller, and any current or former Company employee directly
or indirectly involved in the fraud or intentional misconduct.
