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 11 June 2020, Unilever announced plans to unify its Group legal structure under a single parent company, PLC, creating a simpler company, with greater strategic flexibility, that is better positioned for future success.
 
It is proposed that Unification will be implemented through the Cross-Border Merger, as a result of which PLC will become the single parent company of the Unilever Group.
 
Prior to the implementation of Unification, New Bond Sub will be incorporated pursuant to the NV Demerger, which will become effective shortly before the Cross-Border Merger becomes effective. New Bond Sub will be a finance company established for the purpose of raising debt for the Unilever Group and will conduct no business operations and will have no subsidiaries of its own. As part of the NV Demerger, the NV Notes will become obligations of New Bond Sub.
 
In conjunction with Unification, Unilever intends to seek approval from the relevant Noteholders of the proposed amendments set out in this Notice of Meetings (the “Proposed Amendments”). Unilever is seeking approval by the Noteholders of (i) the substitution of New Bond Sub in place of NV as issuer of the Notes issued by NV, with the existing guarantees from PLC and UNUS remaining in force, (ii) the release of NV’s obligations as guarantor of the Notes issued by PLC, with the existing guarantee from UNUS remaining in force, (iii) such other consequential amendments to the relevant Conditions as set out in this Notice of Meetings in order to facilitate such substitution or release, as applicable, and (iv) the waiver of any event of default that has arisen or would otherwise arise in respect of the relevant Notes as a result of or in connection with any or all of the NV Demerger, the Unification, the Cross-Border Merger, the Issuer Substitution or Guarantor Release, as applicable.
 
The Issuer Substitution will be effected pursuant to the NV Demerger and, to the extent not effected pursuant to the NV Demerger, pursuant to the applicable Supplemental Trust Deed. The other Proposed Amendments will be implemented pursuant to Supplemental Trust Deeds, the forms of which are set out in Schedules I, II and III hereto, subject to satisfaction of the conditions listed in paragraph 7 of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution set out above, which include the occurrence of the NV Demerger Effective Date.
 
The implementation of the waivers referred to paragraph 1 of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution set out above is subject only to the passing of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution set out above. The form of the waiver letter pursuant to which such waivers will be implemented is set out in Schedule IV hereto.
 
Following Unification, the Unilever Group will produce a set of consolidated accounts for PLC and its subsidiaries (the “Consolidated Accounts”). Each of PLC and New Bond 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”.
 
 
It is intended that new debt issued pursuant to Unilever’s European debt issuance programme will have (i) New Bond Sub or PLC as issuer and (ii) the benefit of guarantees by PLC and UNUS (in the case of new debt issued by New Bond Sub) or by UNUS only (in the case of new debt issued by PLC). For the avoidance of doubt, Unilever Capital Corporation will remain issuer in respect of notes currently outstanding from Unilever’s SEC-registered shelf.
 
 
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 and certain other matters 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 8 of the Extraordinary Resolutions set out above).

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 deeds, supplemental agency agreements and the waiver letter 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 of Meetings 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 via videoconference for 15 minutes before the Meetings.

for any reason the guarantee of PLC or (from, and including, the Automatic Issuer Substitution Effective Time) New Sub in respect of the Bonds ceases to be in full force and effect.
 
For the purposes of paragraphs (f), (g) and (h) the expression “a substantial part” means a part whose value is equal to or greater than 25 per cent. of the aggregate value of the fixed assets and current assets of the Unilever Group, such value and such assets being determined by reference to the then most recently published audited consolidated balance sheet of the Unilever Group. A report by the auditors of PLC the Issuer that, in their opinion, (i) the amounts shown in a certificate provided by PLC the Issuer (showing the fixed assets and current assets of the relevant part and those fixed assets and current assets expressed as a percentage of the fixed assets and current assets of the Unilever Group) have been correctly extracted from the accounting records of the Unilever Group and (ii) the percentage of the fixed assets and current assets of that part to the fixed assets and the current assets of the Unilever Group has been correctly calculated, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.”
 
6.9 Condition 12(c) of the relevant Conditions is hereby amended as follows:
 
Substitution: Without prejudice to Condition 13, the Trustee may also agree, subject to certain conditions set out in the Trust Deed, but without the consent of the Bondholders and Couponholders, (i) to the substitution of any Group Company in place of the Issuer as principal debtor in respect of the Bonds or (ii) to the substitution in place of the Issuer as principal debtor, or of any Guarantor, of any successor in business (as defined in the Trust Deed) of the Issuer or, as the case may be, that Guarantor. It is a condition of any such substitution that such Bonds and Coupons thereupon become or remain, as the case may be, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Issuer, PLC (except where PLC is the new principal debtor), and UNUS (except where UNUS is the new principal debtor) and (from, and including, the Automatic Issuer Substitution Time) New Sub (except where New Sub is the principal debtor).
 
So as long as any Bonds remain outstanding (as defined in the Trust Deed), neither the Issuer, nor PLC nor (from, and including, the Automatic Issuer Substitution Effective Time) New Sub will merge with, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets or undertaking to, another company (except where the Issuer or PLC, or (from, and including, the Automatic Issuer Substitution Effective Time) New Sub, as the case may be, is the continuing company) unless that other company agrees, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to be bound by the terms of the Bonds and Coupons and the Trust Deed in place of the Issuer or PLC or (from, and including, the Automatic Issuer Substitution Effective Time) New Sub and the Trustee is satisfied that the conditions set out in the Trust Deed are complied with.”

2.
In accordance with the terms of the Extraordinary Resolutions passed at the Noteholders’ Meetings in respect of:

3.
The waivers granted by the Trustee in paragraph 2 above are strictly without prejudice to the Trustee’s rights under the Notes and the applicable Trust Deeds and are not a waiver of any other provision or Condition of the Notes or provision of the applicable Trust Deeds and the Trustee’s rights in relation thereto are hereby reserved and may be exercised at any time without further notice (save where such notice is required by the provisions or Conditions of the applicable Notes or the provisions of the applicable Trust Deed).
 
In granting the waivers set out herein the Trustee acts pursuant to the Extraordinary Resolutions and, in doing so, shall have the benefit of all of the protections set out in its favour under the relevant Trust Deed.

Safe Harbour
 
This Notice of Meetings 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’, ‘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” 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; the effect of climate change on Unilever’s business; Unilever's ability to find sustainable solutions to its plastic packaging; significant changes or deterioration in customer relationships; the recruitment and retention of talented employees; disruptions in our supply chain and distribution; increases or volatility in the cost of raw materials and commodities; the production of safe and high quality products; secure and reliable IT infrastructure; execution of acquisitions, divestitures and business transformation projects; economic, social and political risks and natural disasters; financial risks; failure to meet high and ethical standards; and managing regulatory, tax and legal matters. A number of these risks have increased as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Notice of Meetings. 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 (the “SEC”), including in the Annual Report on Form 20-F 2019 and the Unilever Annual Report and Accounts 2019.
