As if mounting debt and changing market dynamics weren’t challenging enough, a dispute within the company’s major shareholders has further exacerbated the situation. A power struggle has unfolded between the Dorrance family, owners of a substantial 40% of Campbell’s shares, and hedge fund manager Daniel Loeb of Third Point, a stakeholder owning approximately 7% of Campbell’s stock.
Loeb has been a vocal proponent for transformative changes in the company, pushing for rebranding initiatives that would even change the classic red and white cans that are synonymous with Campbell’s Soup. However, this proposed shift was met with resistance by the Dorrance family, leading to Loeb suing the company for alleged mismanagement.
A Step Towards Resolution and Change:
Campbell’s responded to Loeb’s accusations with criticism, labeling his suggestions as “unoriginal and uninformed.” Despite this tense exchange, a recent development suggests the emergence of a middle ground.
Both parties have agreed to appoint two of the directors suggested by Third Point to the company’s board, indicating the possibility of more modifications on the horizon for Campbell’s as the company grapples with the reality of ensuring its survival.
