Unilever’s Accounts, the Unilever Annual Review and the detailed Unilever Annual Report & Accounts and Form 20-F, can be accessed directly through www.unilever.com/investorcentre/financialreports.

The Unilever Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Unilever PLC operates a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (‘DRIP’) which enables UK and certain overseas shareholders to reinvest the whole of their dividend, if they wish, to purchase shares in the Company. In order to participate in the plan a DRIP request form will need to be completed, so shareholders who prefer to receive cash dividends in the normal way need take no further action.

If a DRIP request form has been completed, future dividends will be invested automatically in the Company’s shares, purchased from the market, and a detailed statement will be sent within 10 working days of the purchase being made. Shareholders who do not currently participate in the DRIP but would like to do so should contact Lloyds TSB Registrars, details above, or by calling 0870 241 3018, for an explanatory leaflet and a form.

The DRIP request may be put in place or cancelled at any time, although the instruction must be received at least 15 days before a dividend payment date or it will be applicable only to subsequent dividends.
