London/Rotterdam, 28 March 2018 - Unilever PLC, Unilever N.V. and Unilever
Corporate Holdings Nederland B.V. ("UCHN"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unilever PLC,
today jointly announce that the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam
Court of Appeal ordered the remaining holders of issued and
outstanding (depositary receipts of) 6% and 7% cumulative
preference (sub)shares in the capital of Unilever N.V. (together
the "Preference
Shares") to transfer their
Preference Shares to UCHN for a price equal to the price of the
tender offer on the Preference Shares of 11 October 2017, to be
increased with statutory interest as of 3 November 2017 until the
date of transfer of the Preference Shares to UCHN
("Buy-Out
Price").
On or around 16 April 2018, UCHN will deposit the Buy-Out Price
relating to the Preference Shares that until that date have not
been transferred to UCHN into the consignment fund of the Dutch
Ministry of Finance, as a result of which the then remaining
Preference Shares will be transferred to UCHN by operation of law.
As of the date of consignment, the remaining former holders of
Preference Shares are entitled to receive payment of the Buy-Out
Price from the consignment fund of the Dutch Ministry of Finance.
Holders of book-entry Preference Shares will receive the Buy-Out
Price through via their intermediary in due course.
Unilever N.V. has applied for delisting of the Preference Shares
from Euronext in Amsterdam ("Euronext"), which is confirmed by Euronext. Delisting will
take place on 5 April 2018 and the last day that the (depositary
receipts of) Preference Shares can be traded on Euronext will
therefore be 4 April 2018.

Cautionary Statement regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This announcement may contain forward-looking statements, including
'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the United
States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such
as 'will', 'aims', 'expects', anticipates', 'intends', 'seeks',
'looks', 'believes', 'vision', or the negative of these terms and
other similar expressions of future performance or results and
their negatives, are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon current
expectations and assumptions regarding anticipated developments and
other factors affecting the Unilever Group (the "Group" or
"Unilever"). They are not historical facts, nor are they guarantees
of future performance.
Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by
these forward-looking statements. Among other risks and
uncertainties, the material or principal factors which could cause
actual results to differ materially are: Unilever's global brands
not meeting consumer preferences; Unilever's ability to innovate
and remain competitive; Unilever's investment choices in its
portfolio management; inability to find sustainable solutions to
support long-term growth; customer relationships; the recruitment
and retention of talented employees; disruptions in our supply
chain; the cost of raw materials and commodities; the production of
safe and high quality products; secure and reliable IT
infrastructure; successful execution of acquisitions, divestitures
and business transformation projects; economic and political risks
and natural disasters; the effect of climate change on Unilever's
business; financial risks; failure to meet high and ethical
standards; and managing regulatory, tax and legal matters. These
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this
announcement. Except as required by any applicable law or
regulation, the Group expressly disclaims any obligation or
undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any
forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change
in the Group's expectations with regard thereto or any change in
events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is
based. Further details of potential risks and uncertainties
affecting the Group are described in the Group's filings with the
London Stock Exchange, the Netherlands Authority for the Financial
Markets (Stichting Autoriteit Financiële Markten) and the US
