The Annual General Meetings of Unilever N.V. and Unilever PLC will be held on
Tuesday, 10 May 2005, and Wednesday 11 May 2005 in Rotterdam and London
respectively.
* On 10 February 2005 Unilever NV announced its decision to convert all
outstanding EUR 0.05 (NLG 0.10) cumulative preference shares on 15 February 2005
after close of trading. Upon conversion, the holders of these cumulative
preference shares will receive (scrips of) Unilever N.V. ordinary shares and the
notional value of the cumulative preference shares of EUR 6.58 (NLG 14.50),
which remain outstanding, will be reduced to EUR 0.05 (NLG 0.10). It will be
proposed at the Unilever N.V. Annual General Meeting of shareholders to be held
in May 2005 that all outstanding cumulative preference shares are cancelled upon
repayment of this notional value of NLG 0.10 and accrued dividends. The (scrips
of) ordinary shares to be received in the conversion are entitled to the final
dividend of the financial year 2004. The dividend on the cumulative preference
shares will, in accordance with Unilever NV's articles of association, be
calculated on a pro-rata basis, taking into account the notional values for the
relevant part of the dividend period. The next date for payment of a dividend on
these cumulative preference shares is 9 June 2005. Upon adoption of the proposal
to cancel these cumulative preference shares, it is intended that the next
following payment of dividend and the repayment of the remaining notional value
of the cancelled cumulative preference shares will occur at the moment of
cancellation.
