TYPE OF REPORTING PERSON (See Instructions) IN CUSIP No. 134 429 109 Schedule 13 D page 6 of 8 This statement is the eleventh amendment to the statement on Schedule 13D filed by Hope H. van Beuren ("Mrs. van Beuren"), John A. van Beuren ("Mr. van Beuren") and David C. Patterson ("Mr. Patterson"). This statement is the fourteenth amendment to the statement on Schedule 13D of Mrs. van Beuren. This statement relates to Shares of Capital Stock, par value $.0375 per share (the "Shares") of Campbell Soup Company (the "Company"). Mr. van Beuren and Mr. Patterson are Trustees (the "Trustees") of the Major Stockholders' Voting Trust (the "Voting Trust") under a Voting Trust Agreement dated as of June 2, 1990 ("Trust Agreement") which was formed by certain descendants (and spouses, fiduciaries and a related foundation) of the late Dr. John T. Dorrance, Sr. This Amendment is filed to report that the number of Shares held by the Trustees has been reduced by more than 1% of the outstanding Shares, through withdrawals or sales, since the last 13D Amendment was filed in February 2003. The Voting Trust now holds a total of 37,796,561 Shares. See Item 5 below. Mr. and Mrs. van Beuren and Mr. Patterson are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Reporting Persons". Information with respect to each of the Reporting Persons is given solely by the respective filing person, and no Reporting Person has any responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of information supplied by any other Reporting Person. Item 5 is amended to read in full as set forth below. Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER The Trustees of the Voting Trust have shared voting power over a total of 37,796,561 Shares held under the Trust Agreement, which represents 9.2% of the outstanding Shares of the Company's Capital Stock. The Reporting Persons and related persons also have an interest in 4,551,213 additional Shares held outside the Voting Trust which, when added together with the Shares held in the Trust, represent 10.3% of the outstanding shares. These Shareholdings include 986,299 Shares with sole dispositive power held by Mrs. van Beuren. Mr. and Mrs. van Beuren also hold 22,626,303 Shares with shared dispositive power, including Shares held by family partnerships, trusts and a family foundation. Mr. Patterson, as Chairman of Brandywine Trust Company, a corporate trustee, has sole voting and dispositive power over 3,180 Shares and shared dispositive power over 205,261 Shares. Percentages set out above are based on 409,521,554 Shares outstanding on March 1, 2006, as confirmed to the Reporting Persons by the Company as the number of Shares to be shown as outstanding on the Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended January 31, 2006. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership in Shares held by his or her spouse, children, grandchildren, fiduciaries and related partnerships, trusts and foundations. The Voting Trust terminates on June 1, 2008. The decision as to the voting of Shares held in the Voting Trust must be approved by both Trustees, who are Messrs. van Beuren and Patterson. Under the Trust Agreement, participants in the Voting Trust have been divided into two groups, one group for Dorrance H. Hamilton and her descendants (the "Hamilton Group") and one group for Mrs. van Beuren and CUSIP No. 134 429 109 Schedule 13 D page 7 of 8 her descendants (the "van Beuren Group"). Each group may designate a Family Trustee, and both Groups acting together may designate a Non-Family trustee. Mr. van Beuren has been designated as the Family Trustee for the van Beuren Group and Mr. Patterson has been designated as the Non-Family Trustee. The Hamilton Group has not designated a Family Trustee. At such time as there are Family Trustees representing both Groups, in the event of a disagreement between them, the shares of the minority may be withdrawn. The Trustees may request the Company to pay dividends directly to the beneficial owner of the Shares under the Trust Agreement. The Trustees do not have power to dispose of shares held under the Voting Trust, except a Trustee has power to dispose of Shares contributed by him or her. See Sections 5 and 9 of the Trust Agreement filed as Exhibit A to Amendment No. 1 to this Schedule 13D. CUSIP No. 134 429 109 Schedule 13 D page 8 of 8 SIGNATURE After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
