Hamilton ("Mrs. Hamilton"), Hope H. van Beuren ("Mrs. van Beuren"), John A. van Beuren ("Mr. van Beuren") and Charles H. Mott ("Mr. Mott"). This statement is the sixteenth amendment to the statement on Schedule 13D of Mrs. Hamilton and the eleventh amendment for 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. Mott 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. Mrs. Hamilton resigned as a Trustee on January 24, 2001. This amendment is filed to report (i) that Mrs. Hamilton has resigned as a Trustee and (ii) the contribution by a trust for her benefit of 3,333,000 Shares to a charitable remainder trust. Mrs. Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. van Beuren, and Mr. Mott 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. Page 6 of 11 Pages 7 Items 5 and 6 are 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 52,058,948 Shares held under the Trust Agreement, which represents 12.4% of the outstanding Shares of the Company's Capital Stock. The Reporting Persons and related persons also have an interest in 1,866,572 additional Shares held outside the Voting Trust which, when added together with the Shares held in the Trust, represent 12.9% of the outstanding Shares. These Shareholdings include (i) 22,400,572 Shares (5.3% of the outstanding shares) with shared dispositive power held by three trusts, of which Mrs. Hamilton is a trustee, not including her contribution to a charitable remainder trust of which she is not a trustee, 200 Eagle Road, Suite 316, Wayne, PA 19087, and (ii) 6,179,209 Shares with sole dispositive power held by Mrs. van Beuren and 6,717,130 Shares with sole dispositive power held by her husband, Mr. van Beuren, P.O. Box 4098, Middletown, RI 02842. Mr. and Mrs. van Beuren also hold 14,236,911 Shares with shared dispositive power, including Shares held by family partnerships and a family foundation. Mr. Mott owns 22,522 Shares with sole voting and dispositive power. Percentages set out above are based on 420,250,814 Shares outstanding on December 7, 2000, as shown by the Company's latest Form 10-Q. The Trustee of Mrs. Hamilton's charitable remainder trust has discretion to sell the shares at any time. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership in Shares held by his or her spouse, children, Page 7 of 11 Pages 8 grandchildren, fiduciaries and related foundations and partnerships. The decision as to the voting of Shares held in the Voting Trust must be approved by both Trustees, who are now Messrs. van Beuren and Mott. Under the Trust Agreement, participants in the Voting Trust have been divided into two groups, one group for Mrs. Hamilton and her descendants (the "Hamilton Group") and one group for Mrs. van Beuren and 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. Mott has been designated as the Non-Family Trustee. The Hamilton Group has not designated a Family Trustee to succeed Mrs. Hamilton. 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 who are named therein. 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. Item 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERTAKINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER The Voting Trust terminates on June 1, 2003. Mrs. Hamilton resigned as a Trustee on January 24, 2001. Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. van Beuren each have the right to appoint a Family Trustee of the Voting Trust. Mr. van Beuren has been designated as the Family Trustee and Mr. Mott has been designated as the Non-Family Trustee. See Exhibit M to this Amendment. Item 7.
