Restructuring provisions primarily relate to early retirement and redundancy costs, the most significant of which relate to the formation of new
multi-country organisations and several factory closures; no projects are individually material. Legal provisions are comprised of many claims,
including a110 million provision regarding potential competition law infringement in the European Union in relation to consumer detergents. Further
information is given in note 25 on page 116.
The provision for disputed indirect taxes is comprised of a number of small disputed items. The largest elements of the provision relate to disputes
with the Brazilian authorities. Because of the nature of the disputes, the timing of the utilisation of the provisions and any associated cash outflows
is uncertain. The majority of the disputed items attract an interest charge.
No individual item within the other provisions balance is significant. Unilever expects that the issues relating to these restructuring, legal and other
provisions will be substantively resolved over the next five years.
