           UNILEVER SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE SHARE-SPLIT

The shareholders of Unilever PLC this morning approved the
recommendation of the directors to sub-divide each of the
company's ordinary shares of 5p into four shares of 1.25p
each.  The directors had proposed the split to reduce the
weight of the share price and to increase the shares'
marketability and liquidity.

Following the split, Unilever PLC's authorised share capital
of #136,275 682 will comprise 10,894,054,560 ordinary shares
of 1.25p each, of which 3,260,613,800 are in issue, and
100,000 Deferred Shares of #1 each.

Application is being made to the Council of the Stock Exchange
for the sub-divided shares to be admitted to the Official
List.  If granted, the sub-division will take place on Monday
October 13, the CREST accounts of uncertificated shareholders
will be credited with 1.25p ordinary shares, and dealings in
the new shares will commence that day.

It is intended that new certificates reflecting the sub-
division will be despatched by Friday October 17 to
shareholders on the register at the close of business on
Friday October 10.  Existing share certificates will cease to
be valid from October 13 and, pending despatch of the new
certificates, transfers will be certified against the register
if required.

A similar sub-division will be made in respect of American
Depository Receipts of Unilever PLC and certificates will be
issued in respect of the additional shares held in the form of
ADRs.

At an extraordinary general meeting also held this morning,
shareholders of Unilever N.V. approved the sub-division of
each of Unilever N.V. shares of Fl. 4 into four shares of Fl.
1 each.
