2018 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

OF

CAMPBELL SOUP COMPANY

PROXY STATEMENT

OF

THIRD POINT LLC

September 27, 2018

To Our Fellow Stockholders of Campbell Soup Company:

We are furnishing this Proxy Statement to holders of the capital stock, par value $0.0375 per share (“Capital Stock”), of Campbell Soup Company (the “Company”), in connection with our solicitation of proxies for use at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company scheduled to be held on a date, and at a time and place, to be determined by the Company, and at any and all adjournments, continuations or postponements thereof (the “Annual Meeting”).

This solicitation is being conducted by Third Point LLC (“Third Point”), Daniel S. Loeb, Third Point Partners Qualified L.P., Third Point Partners L.P., Third Point Offshore Master Fund L.P., Third Point Ultra Master Fund L.P., Third Point Enhanced LP, Third Point Advisors LLC and Third Point Advisors II LLC (collectively, together with Third Point, the “Third Point Entities”, or “we”), as well as Franci Blassberg, Matthew Cohen, Sarah Hofstetter, Munib Islam, Lawrence Karlson, Bozoma Saint John, Kurt Schmidt, Raymond Silcock, David Silverman, Michael Silverstein, George Strawbridge, Jr. and William Toler (collectively, the “Third Point Nominees”). The Third Point Entities and the Third Point Nominees beneficially own in the aggregate 25,339,109 shares of Capital Stock, which represents approximately 8.4% of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock.

As more fully discussed in this Proxy Statement, we are soliciting proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting for the election of each of the Third Point Nominees as directors of the Company.

THIS SOLICITATION IS BEING MADE BY THE THIRD POINT ENTITIES, AND NOT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY.

We urge you to elect the Third Point Nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) because, as further discussed in this Proxy Statement, we believe that election of new members to the Board of Directors would be beneficial to the Company and its stockholders.

This Proxy Statement is first being sent or given to stockholders on or about September 28, 2018. If your shares are held in your own name, please authorize a proxy to vote by signing and returning the enclosed WHITE proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided or by instructing us by telephone or via the Internet as to how you would like your shares of Capital Stock voted (instructions are on your WHITE proxy card).

If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or other custodian, only that firm can vote such shares and, with respect to the election of directors, only upon receipt of your specific instruction. Accordingly, we urge you to contact the person responsible for your account and instruct that person to execute the WHITE proxy card on your behalf. Please follow any voting instructions provided by your bank, brokerage firm, dealer, trust company or other nominee.

Thank you for your support,

Daniel S. Loeb

BACKGROUND OF THE SOLICITATION

Third Point is an alternative investment firm managing approximately $18 billion in assets for public institutions, private entities and qualified individual clients. The firm was founded in 1995 by Daniel S. Loeb, who serves as Chief Executive Officer and oversees its investment activity. Third Point employs an opportunistic approach to invest globally in equity and credit securities.

The Third Point Entities began building their current position in shares of Capital Stock in June 2018.

On August 1, 2018, Mr. Loeb met with George W. Strawbridge, Jr. to discuss, among other things, their respective investments in the Company. Following such meeting, Mr. Loeb instructed his representatives to contact Mr. Strawbridge’s representatives to evaluate whether an agreement could be reached with respect to the potential coordination of certain efforts with respect to their investment in the Company.

On August 9, 2018, Third Point and Mr. Strawbridge entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed to coordinate certain efforts with respect to their investment in the Company. The Letter Agreement is described in “Information About the Participants — Letter Agreement.” Later on August 9, 2018, Third Point and Mr. Strawbridge each filed a Schedule 13D disclosing that, as of such date, they collectively beneficially owned approximately 8.2% of the Capital Stock outstanding. A copy of the Letter Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by Third Point on August 9, 2018.

On August 23, 2018, Third Point sent a letter to the Company expressing concern that the Board had ruled out a sale of the Company.

On August 30, 2018, the Company announced that it concluded the best path forward to drive stockholder value is to focus the Company on two core businesses in the North American market with a proven consumer packaged goods business model. The Company noted that it had retained Goldman Sachs and Centerview Partners to commence a process to divest its Campbell International and Campbell Fresh businesses, noting that net sales of these businesses totaled approximately $2.1 billion.

On September 7, 2018, Third Point Offshore Master Fund L.P., a Third Point Entity that is a record holder of Capital Stock, delivered to the Company formal notice of its nomination of the Third Point Nominees for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.

REASONS FOR OUR SOLICITATION

We are soliciting your support to elect the Third Point Nominees at the Annual Meeting because we are extremely dissatisfied with the Company’s long term performance. In that regard, we note that as of August 31, 2018, Company shares traded at a price that is over 20% lower than it was 20 years ago, and the Company’s total shareholder return (including dividends) over that same time period has been just 34% versus the S&P 500 up 343%.

We believe that the Board’s failure to have a functioning CEO succession plan in place following Denise Morrison’s sudden exit is a reflection of its inability to conduct one of the most essential duties of any board of directors — to secure capable, continuous leadership for the Company.

In our view, the Board needs to be reconstituted with highly qualified Board members with the requisite experience to drive long-term value. We are confident that we have assembled the right people who will fully explore all available strategies to assist in creating substantial value for the benefit of all Company stockholders. We strongly believe our slate of directors brings sophisticated expertise to oversee the Company. The Third Point Nominees have extensive experience in operations, marketing, strategy, transactions, leadership, capital allocation, and general corporate governance. See the section titled “Matters to be Considered at the Annual Meeting — Biographical Information Regarding the Third Point Nominees” for a description of our nominees’ qualifications.

The Third Point Nominees recognize fully that as members of the Board they will owe fiduciary duties to all stockholders.

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR ALL OF THE THIRD POINT NOMINEES.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Election of Directors

The Company’s Board of Directors currently consists of twelve directors. Directors hold office until the Company’s next annual meeting following their election or until their successors are elected and qualified, unless prior to that time they have resigned, retired or otherwise left office. At the Annual Meeting, twelve directors are to be elected to the Board of Directors. On September 7, 2018, we gave notice to the Company of our intention to nominate the Third Point Nominees to serve as directors of the Company.

We are seeking your proxy to vote for the election to the Board of Directors of twelve individuals — Franci Blassberg, Matthew Cohen, Sarah Hofstetter, Munib Islam, Lawrence Karlson, Bozoma Saint John, Kurt Schmidt, Raymond Silcock, David Silverman, Michael Silverstein, George Strawbridge, Jr. and William Toler.

Each of the Third Point Nominees has consented to being named a nominee in this Proxy Statement and has confirmed his or her willingness to serve on the Board of Directors if elected. The Third Point Entities do not expect that any of the Third Point Nominees will be unable to stand for election, but in the event that a vacancy in the slate of Third Point Nominees should occur unexpectedly because any Third Point Nominee is unable to serve on the Board of Directors or for good cause will not serve on the Board of Directors, the shares of Capital Stock represented by the WHITE proxy card will be voted for a substitute candidate selected by the Third Point Entities, to the extent this is not prohibited under the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws effective March 22, 2017 (the “Bylaws”) and applicable law, in each case in light of the specific facts and circumstances surrounding such substitution. Should the Third Point Entities determine that it is necessary to add nominees in accordance with the Bylaws and applicable law, whether because the Company expands the size of the Board of Directors subsequent to the date of this Proxy Statement or for any other reason, the Third Point Entities will supplement this Proxy Statement.

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors, meaning that the twelve nominees receiving the most votes will be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the result of this vote.

Biographical Information Regarding the Third Point Nominees

The following information concerning the age, principal occupation and business experience during the last five years, and current public directorships of each of the Third Point Nominees has been furnished to the Third Point Entities by each of the Third Point Nominees.

If elected, each Third Point Nominee would receive such directors’ fees as may be payable by the Company in accordance with its practice at the time. Except as described below, there are no understandings or arrangements between any of the Third Point Nominees or any other person pursuant to which the nominations are to be made by the Third Point Entities. Pursuant to nominee agreements entered into by each of the Third Point Nominees with Third Point, Third Point agreed to pay a fee of $50,000 to each Third Point Nominee (other than Messrs. Strawbridge, Islam and Cohen) for serving as a nominee and will indemnify each Third Point Nominee against certain potential liabilities that might arise in connection with such Third Point Nominee being named as a director nominee and related matters. Such fee and indemnification provisions of the nominee agreements only cover a nominee’s service as a nominee and not, if elected, as a director of the Company. Additional information concerning the Third Point Nominees is set forth in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

12

Other Matters to Be Considered at the Annual Meeting

We currently expect that at the Annual Meeting the stockholders will be asked to approve the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2019. Based on information contained in the Company’s preliminary proxy statement filed on September 14, 2018 (the “2018 Proxy Statement”) stockholder ratification is not required under the laws of the State of New Jersey or the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws but, as a matter of good corporate governance, the Board submits the proposal to stockholders. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee may select a different audit firm at any time during the year if it determines that this would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting is required for ratification. Abstentions will not be counted as votes cast on this proposal. According to the Company’s 2018 Proxy Statement, if the appointment is not ratified, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another audit firm. We recommend that you vote “FOR” this proposal by checking the appropriate box and signing, dating and returning the enclosed WHITE proxy card.

Based on information contained in the Company’s 2018 Proxy Statement, it is expected that at the Annual Meeting the stockholders will be asked to vote, on an advisory basis, whether to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. Based on the Company’s 2018 Proxy Statement, the approval of this matter on an advisory basis requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast on this proposal. As set forth above in the section titled “Reasons for Our Solicitation” we believe the Company has performed poorly and we recommend voting “AGAINST” the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

The accompanying WHITE proxy card includes a proposal ratifying the appointment of PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2019 and a proposal regarding the approval on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers; however, the proxy card can only be voted on these proposals if the proposals are actually presented at the Annual Meeting. You may vote for or against, or you may abstain from voting on, these proposals, and the accompanying WHITE proxy card will be voted on these proposals in accordance with your instructions thereon if these proposals are presented at the Annual Meeting. If you do not indicate any voting instruction, you will be deemed to have given a direction to vote the shares represented by the WHITE proxy card with “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and “AGAINST” the possible approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

Except as set forth in this Proxy Statement, including the possible ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the possible approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, the Third Point Entities are not aware of any other matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting. However, if the Third Point Entities learn of any other proposals made at a reasonable time before the Annual Meeting, the Third Point Entities will either supplement this Proxy Statement and provide stockholders with an opportunity to vote by proxy directly on such matters or will not exercise discretionary authority with respect thereto. If other proposals are made thereafter, the persons named as proxies on the WHITE proxy card solicited by the Third Point Entities will vote such proxies in their discretion.

The participants in this solicitation intend to vote their shares “FOR” the election of the Third Point Nominees, “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2019, and “AGAINST” the advisory resolution to approve executive compensation.

The Company has not yet publicly disclosed the record date for determining stockholders who will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”). After the Company publicly discloses the Record Date, the number of shares of Capital Stock outstanding at that time and the date, time and place of the Annual Meeting, we intend to supplement this Proxy Statement with such information. The mailing address of the principal executive offices of the Company is One Campbell Place, Camden, New Jersey 08103. Stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES

How do I vote by proxy?

If your shares are held in your name, you may vote by proxy as follows:

Vote by Telephone — Please call toll-free from the U.S. or Canada the phone number listed on your proxy card and follow the simple instructions provided. You will be required to provide the unique control number printed on your proxy card.

Vote by Internet — Please access the website linked on your proxy card and follow the simple instructions provided. Please note you must type an “s” after “http”. You will be required to provide the unique control number printed on your proxy card.

You may vote by telephone or Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your telephone or Internet vote authorizes the named proxies to vote your shares in the same manner as if you had executed a proxy card.

Vote by Mail — If you do not have access to a touch-tone telephone or to the Internet or wish to vote by mail, please sign, date and return the proxy card in the envelope provided, or mail to: Third Point LLC, c/o Okapi Partners, 1212 Avenue of the Americas, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10036.

The telephone and Internet voting procedures use a control number that appears on your WHITE proxy card to authenticate you as a stockholder of record and to allow you to confirm that your voting instructions have been correctly recorded. If you vote by telephone or Internet, you do not need to return the WHITE proxy card.

How do I vote shares that I hold through a broker, bank or other custodian?

If you hold shares through someone else, such as a broker, bank or other custodian, you will receive voting material from that firm. You can complete the WHITE voting form and return it as requested by the firm. If the firm offers Internet or telephone voting, the voting form will contain instructions on how to access and utilize those voting methods. If you hold your shares in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other custodian, you will not be able to vote in person at the Annual Meeting unless you have previously requested and obtained a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank or other custodian and present it at the Annual Meeting.

What if I plan to attend the Annual Meeting, should I still submit a WHITE proxy card?

Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to submit a WHITE proxy card. Returning the enclosed proxy card will not affect your right to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting.

What if I want to revoke my proxy?

Any proxy may be revoked as to all matters covered thereby at any time prior to the time a vote is taken by (i) submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or submitting a later proxy using the telephone or Internet voting procedures described above, (ii) filing a later-dated written revocation with the Secretary of the Company, or (iii) attending and voting at the Annual Meeting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation. If you hold your shares in a brokerage account or by a bank or other custodian, unless you have obtained a “legal proxy” from your bank, broker or other custodian, you will need to follow the instructions provided by your bank, broker or other custodian to revoke your voting form or submit a new voting form.

What should I do if I receive a proxy card solicited by the Company?

If you submit a proxy to us by signing and returning the enclosed WHITE proxy card, do not sign or return the proxy card solicited by the Company or follow any voting instructions provided by the Company unless you intend to change your vote, because only your latest-dated proxy will be counted.

16

Please note that voting to “Withhold” with respect to the Company’s nominees on the Company’s proxy card is NOT the same as voting for the Third Point Nominees because a vote to “Withhold” with respect to any of the Company nominees on the Company’s proxy card will revoke any proxy you previously submitted. If you have already sent a proxy card to the Company, or voted for its nominees through telephone or Internet voting procedures, you may revoke that vote and provide your support to the Third Point Nominees by signing, dating and returning the enclosed WHITE proxy card or by following the instructions to vote by telephone or Internet described above.

Who can vote?

Holders of Capital Stock as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record on the Record Date, you will retain the voting rights in connection with the Annual Meeting even if you sell such shares after the Record Date. Accordingly, it is important that you vote the shares of Capital Stock held by you on the Record Date, or grant a proxy to vote such shares on the WHITE proxy card, even if you sell such shares after such date.

What is the required quorum?

The holders of record of a majority of the shares of the Capital Stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the Annual Meeting.

What vote is required for the proposals at the Annual Meeting?

Election of Directors — Based on the Company’s Bylaws, assuming that a quorum is present, in a contested election where the number of director nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, directors are elected by a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors, meaning that the twelve nominees receiving the most votes would be elected to the Board. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the result of this vote.

Ratification of the Appointment of Accounting Firm — According to the Company’s 2018 Proxy Statement, assuming that a quorum is present, for the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast is required for approval. According to the Company’s 2018 Proxy Statement, abstentions will not be counted as votes cast on this proposal.

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation — According to the Company’s 2018 Proxy Statement, although the vote is non-binding, assuming that a quorum is present, for the advisory vote on executive compensation, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast is required for approval. According to the Company’s 2018 Proxy Statement, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast on this proposal.

IF YOU WISH TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE THIRD POINT NOMINEES TO THE BOARD, PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN PROMPTLY THE ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD IN THE POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED OR FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON YOUR WHITE PROXY CARD TO VOTE BY TELEPHONE OR VIA THE INTERNET.

Under applicable New Jersey law, none of the holders of Capital Stock are entitled to appraisal rights in connection with any matter to be acted on at the Annual Meeting.

If you sign and submit your WHITE proxy card without specifying how you would like your shares voted, your shares will be voted “FOR” the election of the Third Point Nominees and you will be deemed to have given a direction to vote the shares represented by the WHITE proxy card “FOR” the possible ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and “AGAINST” the possible approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

BY EXECUTING THE WHITE PROXY CARD YOU ARE AUTHORIZING THE PERSONS NAMED AS PROXIES TO REVOKE ALL PRIOR PROXIES ON YOUR BEHALF.

17

SOLICITATION; EXPENSES

Proxies may be solicited by mail, advertisement, telephone, internet, e-mail, facsimile, other media and personal solicitation by the Third Point Entities and by the Third Point Nominees. No additional compensation will be paid to the Third Point Entities or to the Third Point Nominees for the solicitation of proxies. Banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward the Third Point Entities’ solicitation material to their customers for whom they hold shares, and the Third Point Entities will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Third Point has retained Okapi Partners LLC (“Okapi”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies and for related services. Third Point will pay Okapi an estimated fee of up to $625,000 and has agreed to reimburse Okapi for certain out-of-pocket fees and expenses and to indemnify Okapi against certain liabilities and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and related charges. Third Point has agreed to pay an additional discretionary fee to Okapi, the amount of which is to be determined in the sole discretion of Third Point, upon conclusion of a proxy campaign. Okapi will solicit proxies from individuals, brokers, banks, bank nominees and other institutional holders. Approximately 135 persons will be used by Okapi in its solicitation efforts.

The entire expense of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and related materials and the cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Third Point Entities. To the extent legally permissible, if successful in the election of one or more of the Third Point Nominees, we currently intend to seek reimbursement from the Company for the costs of this solicitation. We do not currently intend to submit the question of such reimbursement to a vote of the stockholders of the Company.

The Third Point Entities estimate that the total expenditures relating to its proxy solicitation incurred by the Third Point Entities will be approximately $10,000,000, approximately $1,200,000 of which has been incurred to date. Such costs include fees paid to certain of the Third Point Nominees (as described under in the section titled “Information About the Participants — Nominee Agreements”) but do not include legal fees and expenses in connection with any potential litigation.

If you have any questions concerning this Proxy Statement or the procedures to be followed to execute and deliver a proxy, please contact Okapi at the address or phone number specified above.

CERTAIN EFFECTS OF THE SOLICITATION

Based on a review of the Company’s publicly available documents, if Third Point is successful in electing Third Point Nominees that represent a majority of the Board at the Annual Meeting, then a “change in control” of the Board may be deemed to have occurred under certain of the Company’s plans and agreements. Such a change in control would constitute the first trigger of potential “double-trigger” provisions under certain of the Company’s plans and agreements, including:

Under the terms of the Company’s floating rate notes due 2020, floating rate notes due 2021, 3.300% notes due 2021, 3.650% notes due 2023, 3.300% notes due 2025, 3.950% notes due 2025, 4.150% notes due 2028 and 4.800% notes due 2048 (collectively, the “Notes”) if the Company experiences a “change of control” and corresponding ratings downgrade below investment grade by each of the ratings agencies within 60 days following the earlier of the occurrence of a “change of control” and the first public announcement of the occurrence of a change of control or the Company’s intention to effect a “change of control” unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the notes of such series, each holder of notes of such series will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s notes of such series at a purchase price in cash equal to 101 % of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. A “change of control” occurs on the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not “continuing directors.” A “continuing director” is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors who (1) was a member of Company’s Board of Directors on the date of the issuance of the Notes (March 16, 2018 (or March 19, 2015 in the case of the 3.300% notes due 2025)), or (2) was nominated for election or elected to the Company’s Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the “continuing directors” who were members of Company’s Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of a proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director). Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the corresponding ratings downgrade below investment grade will only occur if each rating agency making the reduction in rating publicly announces (or confirms or informs the trustee of the notes at the Company’s request) that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the “change of control.” However, the Continuing Directors are entitled to approve the Third Point Nominees for purposes of the Company’s Notes, which would prevent the Company from being forced to offer to repurchase its outstanding Notes if it experiences such “change of control” and corresponding ratings downgrade below investment grade as a result of the election of a number of the Third Point Nominees that represent a majority of the Board.

Under the Company’s three-year term loan credit agreement, dated December 29, 2017, and the Company’s five-year credit agreement, dated December 9, 2016 (together, the “Credit Agreements”), if the Company experiences a “change of control” and corresponding ratings downgrade below investment grade by each of the ratings agencies within 60 days following the earlier of the occurrence of a “change of control” and the first

20

public announcement of the occurrence of a change of control or the Company’s intention to effect a “change of control” then, an “Event of Default” shall occur entitling the lenders to accelerate the outstanding obligations thereunder. Similar to the Notes, a “change of control” occurs on the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not “continuing directors.” A “continuing director” is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors who (1) was a member of Company’s Board of Directors on, for purposes of the three-year term loan credit agreement, the effective date thereof, and for purposes of the five-year credit agreement, December 9, 2016, or (2) was nominated for election or elected to the Company’s Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the “continuing directors” who were members of Company’s Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election (either by a specific vote or by approval of a proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director). Pursuant to the terms of the term loan credit agreement, the corresponding ratings downgrade below investment grade will only occur if each rating agency making the reduction in rating publicly announces (or confirms or informs the administrative agent at the Company’s request) that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the “change of control.” However, the Continuing Directors are entitled to approve the Third Point Nominees for purposes of the Credit Agreements, which would prevent the lenders from accelerating the outstanding obligations thereunder if the Company experiences such “change of control” and corresponding ratings downgrade below investment grade as a result of the election of a number of the Third Point Nominees that represent a majority of the Board.

During the past ten years, none of the Third Point Nominees was involved in any event that would be required to be disclosed under Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K, promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act.

During the last fiscal year, neither any Third Point Nominee nor a Third Point Entity has failed to file reports related to the Company that are required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

The Third Point Entities and their associates and affiliates may effect purchases of shares of Capital Stock through margin accounts maintained for them with brokers, which extend margin credit as and when required to open or carry positions in their margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and such firms’ credit policies. Positions in shares of Capital Stock may be held in margin accounts and may be pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in such accounts. Such margin accounts may from time to time have debit balances. In addition, since other securities may be held in such margin accounts, it may not be possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase shares of Capital Stock.

To the best knowledge of the Third Point Entities, the Third Point Entities believe that each of the Third Point Nominees are independent under the applicable New York Stock Exchange corporate governance rules.
