Unilever Annual General Meetings update
Unilever PLC
Further to the announcement made on 19 March 2020, Unilever
announces the following changes to the format of the Annual General
Meeting of Unilever PLC ('PLC AGM') to be held at 2:30pm BST on
Wednesday 29 April 2020.
As a result of the current COVID-19 crisis and the UK Government's
'Stay at Home' measures, the PLC AGM will be run as a closed
meeting. Therefore, shareholders cannot
attend the PLC AGM. Any
shareholders attempting to attend the PLC AGM will not be granted
access in order to comply with the 'Stay at Home'
measures.
In light of these measures, the PLC AGM will be adjourned to be
held at 100 Victoria Embankment, London EC4Y 0DY, the company's
head office, and not at the QEII Conference Centre. The time and
date of the PLC AGM will remain as 2:30pm BST on Wednesday 29 April
2020.
A very limited number of persons from Unilever will be present to
conduct the meeting such that the legal requirements can be
satisfied. The usual format of the meeting will be condensed and
will include only the formal business of the AGM. All valid proxy
votes (whether submitted electronically or in hard copy form) to be
exercised by the chairman of the meeting will be included in the
poll to be taken at the meeting. The results of the poll votes on
the proposed resolutions will be announced, in the normal way, as
soon as practicable after the conclusion of the PLC
AGM.
As shareholders must not attend the PLC AGM in person, they are
urged to register their votes in advance on the resolutions to be
put to the PLC AGM by appointing the chairman of the meeting as
their proxy. Shareholders may appoint a proxy by completing and
signing the proxy form that accompanied the notice of meeting in
accordance with the instructions printed on the proxy form.
Alternatively, shareholders can register their proxy vote through
the electronic voting facility via www.unilever.com/agm or
through the CREST proxy voting system if their shares are held in
CREST. Please ensure your proxy appointments reach Computershare as
soon as possible and in any event by no later
than 2:30pm BST on Monday 27 April
2020. Further information
can be found in the Notice of Meeting which is available
on www.unilever.com/agm.
Unilever understands that the PLC AGM also serves as a forum for
shareholders to engage with Directors. Therefore, following the
conclusion of the PLC AGM, at 3:00pm BST a webcast will be made
available on Unilever's website (www.unilever.com/agm) with
short statements by the Chairman and CEO who will also respond to
questions submitted prior to the meeting. Any such question should
relate to the business of the PLC AGM and be submitted by no later
than 9:00am BST on Monday 27 April
2020 via shareholder.services@unilever.com.
Unilever may summarise and bundle questions thematically or set
further conditions to facilitate the smooth running of the
webcast.
Unilever N.V.
Further to the announcement made on 3 April
2020 and considering the emergency law regarding Annual
General Meetings, which has been passed by the House of
Representatives on 16 April 2020, Unilever now announces that the
Annual General Meeting of Unilever N.V. ('NV AGM') will be held
virtually only. This means that, as a change from our convocation
notice and earlier messages, shareholders cannot attend the
NV AGM in person and votes
can only be cast by (electronic) proxy.
Unilever understands that the NV AGM also serves as a forum for
shareholders to engage with Directors. Therefore, the NV AGM can be
followed live on Unilever's website (www.unilever.com/agm).
The NV AGM will include short statements by the Chairman and CEO
who will also respond to questions submitted prior to the meeting.
Any such question should relate to any of the resolutions on the
agenda and be submitted in English by no later
than 10:00am CET on Monday 27 April
2020 via shareholder.services@unilever.com.
Unilever may summarise and bundle questions thematically or set
further conditions to facilitate the smooth running of the NV
AGM.
Shareholders who hold their shares in a securities account under
the Dutch giro-system (e.g. shares bought on Euronext Amsterdam)
can vote through the e-voting system of ABN AMRO which entails a
proxy with voting instruction to a civil-law notary of Mr M.J.
Meijer Notarissen (www.abnamro.com/evoting). The deadline for
voting through the e-voting system has been extended
to 3:30pm CET on Monday 27 April
2020. Live voting at the NV AGM
will not be provided for.
