2026 Share Buyback

 

London, 30 April 2026. Unilever PLC ("Unilever") announces that it is today
commencing a new share buyback of up to €1.5 billion (the "SBB"), as set out
in its full year 2025 results on 12 February 2026 and reiterated in its first
quarter trading statement released today.

The purpose of the SBB is to reduce the capital of Unilever and it will take
place within the limitations of the authority granted to the Board of Unilever
by its general meeting held on 30 April 2025 (as amended at the general
meeting held on 21 October 2025 relating to the share consolidation of
Unilever shares). Accordingly, the maximum number of shares to be bought back
by Unilever is 223,263,040.

The SBB commences today, 30 April 2026, and will end on or before 6 July 2026.

Any repurchases of shares under the SBB are expected to be announced on a
weekly basis and in any event will be announced no later than the end of the
seventh trading day following the date of the repurchase.

Unilever has entered into non-discretionary instructions with Morgan Stanley
& Co. International PLC to conduct the SBB on its behalf and to make
trading decisions under the SBB independently of Unilever.
