London - Unilever PLC announces the commencement of its up to
€1.5 billion share buyback
With our full year 2023 results on 8 February 2024, Unilever PLC
announced a programme to buy back shares with an aggregate market
value equivalent of up to €1.5 billion to be conducted during
2024 (the "Programme").
The first tranche of the Programme (the "First Tranche") will be
for an aggregate market value equivalent of up to €850
million which will be bought back in the form of Unilever PLC
ordinary shares.
The First Tranche will commence on 17 May 2024 and will end on or
before 30 August 2024. The purpose of the First Tranche is to
reduce the capital of Unilever PLC and it will take place within
the limitations of the authority granted to the Board of Unilever
PLC by its general meeting, held on 1 May 2024, pursuant to which
the maximum number of shares to be bought back by Unilever PLC is
250,200,000.
Unilever PLC has entered into non-discretionary instructions with
Goldman Sachs International to conduct the First Tranche on its
behalf and to make trading decisions under the First Tranche

possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us.
In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our
business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those
