'anticipates', 'intends', 'looks', 'believes', 'vision', or the
negative of these terms and other similar expressions of future

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. Among other risks and uncertainties,
the material or principal factors which could cause actual results
to differ materially are: Unilever's global brands not meeting
consumer preferences; Unilever's ability to innovate and remain
competitive; Unilever's investment choices in its portfolio
management; inability to find sustainable solutions to support
long-term growth; customer relationships; the recruitment and
retention of talented employees; disruptions in our supply chain;
the cost of raw materials and commodities; the production of safe
and high quality products; secure and reliable IT infrastructure;
successful execution of acquisitions, divestitures and business
transformation projects; economic and political risks and natural
disasters; the effect of climate change on Unilever's business;
financial risks; failure to meet high and ethical standards; and
managing regulatory, tax and legal matters. These forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date of this announcement. 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. Further details
