Additional statutory and other disclosures
Unilever’s share performance relative to broad-based equity indices
The UK Companies Act 1985 (schedule 7A) requires us to show Unilever’s relative share performance, based on Total Shareholder
Return, against a holding of shares in a broad-based equity index for the last five years. The Remuneration Committee has decided to
show Unilever’s performance against two indices, namely the FTSE 100 Index, London, and the Euronext, Amsterdam, as these are the
most generally used indices in the UK and the Netherlands, where we have our principal listings.
The Report has been approved by the Boards. Signed on behalf of the Boards by Sven Dumoulin (Group Secretary).
