(iii) The Share Matching Plans
Under these plans managers can invest up to 25% of their gross bonus in Unilever shares. The Company matches this with the same
number of shares on condition that all shares are held for the agreed period (five years for awards made until 2001, three years from 2002
onwards), and that the manager has not resigned from Unilever at the end of this period. The North American managers participate in the
North American Share Bonus Plan, the others in the Variable Pay in Shares Plan. The numbers below include the numbers under the plan for
the directors described in the Remuneration report on page 50.
A summary of the status of the Share Matching Plans as at 31 December 2002, 2001 and 2000 and changes during the years ended on
these dates is presented below:
