Cautionary statement
This document 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 ‘expects’, ‘anticipates’, ‘intends’, ‘believes’ 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 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, including, among others, competitive pricing and activities, economic slowdown, industry consolidation,
access to credit markets, recruitment levels, reputational risks, commodity prices, continued availability of raw materials, prioritisation of projects, consumption
levels, costs, the ability to maintain and manage key customer relationships and supply chain sources, consumer demands, currency values, interest rates, the ability
to integrate acquisitions and complete planned divestitures, the ability to complete planned restructuring activities, physical risks, environmental risks, the ability to
manage regulatory, tax and legal matters and resolve pending matters within current estimates, legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments, political, economic
and social conditions in the geographic markets where the Group operates and new or changed priorities of the Boards. 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 the Group’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2010 and the Annual Report and Accounts 2010. These
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this document. 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.
This document does not comply with US GAAP and should not therefore be relied upon by readers as such. The Group’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2010 is
separately filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and is available on our corporate website www.unilever.com. Any information on or linked from
the website is not incorporated by reference into the Annual Report on Form 20-F. In addition, a printed copy of the Annual Report on Form 20-F is available, free

This document forms part of the Unilever Annual Report and Accounts 2010 suite of documents and is printed
onGreencoat 80 Silk. This paper is made from 80% post consumer waste and virgin wood fibre, independently
certified in accordance with the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). It is manufactured at a mill that is certified
toISO14001 environmental management standards. The pulp is bleached using Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF)
processes. The inks used are all vegetable oil based.
In addition, the carbon impacts of the paper for this suite have been estimated and an equivalent amount of
carbon dioxide hasbeen balanced through preservation of rainforest by the World Land Trust, an ecological
charity. 11,944kg ofcarbon dioxide have been balanced; 2,352 m2 of ecologically important forests have been
protected; and usingrecycled fibre has prevented an estimated 17.8 tonnes of waste paper going to landfill.
If you have finished with this document and no longer wish to retain it, please pass iton to other interested
readers or dispose of it in your recycled paper waste. Thank you.
