2020 Notice of Annual General Meeting update
London/Rotterdam, 19 March 2020
Unilever PLC and Unilever N.V. today announce the publication of
the Notices of Annual General Meeting ("AGMs") which are due to be
held at the QEII Centre, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1P
3EE, United Kingdom on Wednesday 29 April 2020 and the World Trade
Center, Beursplein 37, Rotterdam, the Netherlands on Thursday 30
April 2020 respectively.
Unilever is closely monitoring the developments relating to
coronavirus (COVID-19) in view of the evolving situation, public
health concerns and related measures. The AGMs are important events
for our shareholders to engage with the Board of Directors.
However, the health of our shareholders, employees and partners is
of vital importance to us.
Several governments, including those in the United Kingdom and the
Netherlands, are taking measures such as prohibiting public
gatherings to minimise or delay the spread of the virus. It remains
unclear how the AGMs will be impacted by any such measures.
Shareholders are therefore advised to regularly check Unilever's
website for updates in relation to the AGMs (www.unilever.com/AGM)
and to very carefully consider public health and government advice
at the time of the meetings.
It is important that shareholders do still cast their votes in
respect of the business of the AGMs. Shareholders are reminded that
they can do so without attending the AGMs by voting via proxy or
using our electronic voting facility in accordance with the
instructions set out in the notices of the AGMs.
Unilever will endeavour to livestream the meetings allowing
shareholders to follow the business of the AGMs on their computer
or smart phone from their location of choice, although this will
not constitute formal attendance at the meetings. If the AGMs are
livestreamed, further details will be announced and made available
on Unilever's website in due course. Unilever welcomes questions by
shareholders related to the business of the meetings which can be
submitted at shareholder.services@unilever.com.
SAFE HARBOUR
This announcement 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"). 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.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this
announcement. 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 Group's Annual Report on Form 20-F for
the year ended 31 December 2019 and the Annual Report and Accounts
2019.
