    Item 7.01.Regulation FD Disclosure

    As previously disclosed, on August 7, 2023, Sovos Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Campbell Soup Company, a New Jersey corporation (“Campbell”), and Premium Products Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Campbell (“Merger Sub”).  The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Campbell.  As previously disclosed, on October 23, 2023, the Company and Campbell each received a request for additional information (the “Second Request”) from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) in connection with the FTC’s review of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

    On February 13, 2024, the Company and Campbell issued a joint press release announcing that both companies have certified substantial compliance with the Second Request. A copy of the joint press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

    The certification of substantial compliance triggers the start of a 30-day waiting period which is expected to expire on March 11, 2024, after which the Merger can be consummated. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company and Campbell expect to complete the transaction within days of the March 11, 2024 expiration date.

    The information provided under this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

    Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

    Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the proposed transaction, including any statements regarding the expected timetable for completing the proposed transaction, and any other statements regarding future expectations or future events or outcomes that are not historical facts are “forward-looking” statements made within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

    All forward-looking information is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company or Campbell, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the timing to consummate the proposed transaction; the risk that a condition to closing of the proposed transaction may not be satisfied or that the closing of the proposed transaction might otherwise not occur; the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; and the risk that the transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors can be found in the Company’s filings with the SEC and available through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering and Analysis Retrieval system at http://www.sec.gov, including the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement relating to the proposed transaction filed on September 13, 2023, the Company’s Definitive Additional Materials filed on October 10, 2023, the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. The foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive.

    Forward-looking statements represent managements’ beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this communication. The Company disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required by law.
