Background
 
 
The Issuers have convened the Meetings for the purpose of enabling the holders of Notes of each Series to consider and resolve, if they think fit, to pass the Extraordinary Resolution proposed in relation to the Notes of the relevant Series.
 
 
On 15 March 2018, Unilever announced the next steps in its transformation into a simpler, more agile and more focused business. The proposed Simplification will provide greater flexibility for strategic portfolio change and help drive long-term performance. Simplification will introduce a single holding company, New NV, with one class of shares and a global pool of liquidity.
 
 
Following Simplification, the Unilever group will produce a set of consolidated accounts for New NV and its subsidiaries (the “Consolidated Accounts”). Each of PLC and New Sub will produce standalone entity financial statements (the “Entity Accounts”), which are not consolidated accounts. The Entity Accounts together with the Consolidated Accounts are referred to as the “Accounts”.
 
 
In conjunction with Simplification, Unilever intends to simplify its debt structure by seeking approval from the relevant Noteholders of the proposed amendments set out in this Notice (the “Proposed Amendments”). Unilever is seeking approval by the Noteholders of (i) the substitution of New NV as issuer of the Notes, with a guarantee provided by the retiring issuer (New Sub (as successor to NV) or PLC, as the case may be), in addition to the existing guarantees which will remain in force, and (ii) such other consequential amendments to the relevant Conditions as set out in this Notice in order to facilitate such substitution.
 
 
If Noteholders of any Series of Notes do not approve the Proposed Amendments, Unilever intends to transfer the listing of such Series of Notes to a multi-lateral trading facility such as the Global Exchange Market (the “GEM”) in Ireland. Implementation of the Proposed Amendments and/or a transfer of the listing of the Notes to a multi-lateral trading facility would enable Unilever to produce the Accounts as discussed above. It is not practicable or desirable to retain the Notes at the current NV and PLC level post-Simplification if they remain admitted to trading on a regulated market as this would result in an unduly onerous requirement, which Unilever group has never previously had, to produce separate consolidated accounts for each of New Sub (as successor to NV) and PLC in addition to the Accounts.
 
 
It is intended that new debt issued pursuant to Unilever’s European debt issuance programme will have (i) New N.V. as issuer and (ii) the benefit of guarantees by New Sub, PLC and UNUS. The intended consequence of the Proposed Amendments is that Notes of each Series will be structured in the same manner. For the avoidance of doubt, Unilever Capital Corporation will remain issuer in respect of notes currently outstanding from Unilever’s SEC-registered shelf and these notes will also benefit from an additional guarantee provided by New NV in due course.
 
 
For the avoidance of doubt, the outcome of the Consent Solicitations will have no impact on the timing or process of Simplification.
 
 
Consent Solicitations
 
The relevant Issuer has invited eligible holders of the Notes of each Series (each such invitation a “Consent Solicitation”) to consent to the approval, by Extraordinary Resolution at the relevant Meeting, of the modification of the Conditions relating to the relevant Series as described in paragraph 1 of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution as set out above, all as further described in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum (as defined in paragraph 5 of the Extraordinary Resolutions set out above).
 
Noteholders may obtain, from the date of this Notice, a copy of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum from the Tabulation Agent, the contact details for which are set out below. In order to receive a copy of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum, a Noteholder will be required to provide confirmation as to his or her status as a Noteholder.
 
Pursuant to each Consent Solicitation, each Noteholder from whom a valid Consent Instruction (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum) is received by the Tabulation Agent by the deadline specified in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum will, subject to the conditions set out in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum, be eligible to receive payment of an amount equal to 0.05 per cent. of the principal amount of the Notes that are the subject of such Consent Instruction (the “Early Participation Fee”), all as more fully described in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum.
 
 
General
 
Copies of (i) the relevant Trust Deed (as amended, restated and/or supplemented as at the issue date of each Series of Notes); and (ii) the current draft of the supplemental trust deed as referred to in each Extraordinary Resolution set out above are also available for inspection by Noteholders (a) on and from the date of this Notice up to and including the date of the Meetings, at the specified offices of the Tabulation Agent during normal business hours on any week day (Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays excepted) up to and including the date of the Meetings and (b) at the Meetings and at the offices of Linklaters LLP, One Silk Street, London EC2Y 8HQ for 15 minutes before the Meetings. Any revised version of the relevant draft supplemental trust deed will be made available as described above and marked to indicate changes to the draft made available on the date of this Notice, and will supersede the previous draft of the relevant document and Noteholders will be deemed to have notice of any such changes.
 
The attention of Noteholders is particularly drawn to the procedures for voting, quorum and other requirements for the passing of the Extraordinary Resolutions at the Meetings or any meeting held following any adjournment of any Meeting, which are set out in “Voting and Quorum” below.

A Direct Participant or beneficial owner of Notes wishing to attend the relevant Meeting in person must produce at the relevant Meeting a valid voting certificate or certificates issued by a Paying Agent relating to the Notes in respect of which it wishes to vote.
 
A Direct Participant or beneficial owner of Notes not wishing to attend and vote at the relevant Meeting in person may either deliver its valid voting certificate(s) to the person whom it wishes to attend on its behalf or the Direct Participant may (or the beneficial owner of the Notes may arrange for the relevant Direct Participant on its behalf to) give a voting instruction (by giving voting and blocking instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg (a “Euroclear/Clearstream Instruction”) in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg) requiring a Paying Agent to include the votes attributable to its Notes in a block voting instruction issued by the Paying Agent for the relevant Meeting or any adjourned such Meeting, in which case the Paying Agent shall appoint a proxy to attend and vote at such Meeting in accordance with such Direct Participant’s instructions.

(i)
any mortgage, charge, lien, pledge or other security interest arising solely by mandatory operation of law; and

(i)
any mortgage, charge, lien, pledge or other security interest arising solely by mandatory operation of law; and

DISCLAIMER This Notice must be read in conjunction with the Consent Solicitation Memorandum. This Notice and the Consent Solicitation Memorandum contain important information which should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the relevant Proposed Amendments. If any Noteholder is in any doubt as to the action it should take or is unsure of the impact of the implementation of the relevant Proposed Amendments or the relevant Extraordinary Resolution to be proposed at the relevant Meeting, it is recommended to seek its own financial and legal advice, including as to any tax and legal consequences, from its broker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial or legal adviser. Any individual or company whose Notes are held on its behalf by a broker, dealer, bank, custodian, trust company or other nominee or intermediary must contact such entity if it wishes to participate in the relevant Consent Solicitation.
 
None of the Solicitation Agents, the Tabulation Agent, the Issuers, nor any director, officer, employee, agent or affiliate of any such person, is acting for any Noteholder, or will be responsible to any Noteholder for providing any protections which would be afforded to its clients or for providing advice in relation to the relevant Consent Solicitation, and accordingly none of the Solicitation Agents, the Tabulation Agent, the Issuers, nor any director, officer, employee, agent or affiliate of, any such person makes any recommendation whether Noteholders should participate in the relevant Consent Solicitation.
 
Safe Harbour
 
This Notice may contain forward-looking statements, including ‘forward-looking statements’ within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements related to underlying sales growth and underlying operating margin. Words such as ‘will’, ‘aim’, ‘expects’, ‘anticipates’, ‘intends’, ‘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”). 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 Notice. 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, Euronext Amsterdam and the US Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the Annual Report on Form 20-F 2017 and the Unilever Annual Report and Accounts 2017.
