Changes to the EGM of Unilever N.V. on 21 September 2020
Unilever announces the following changes to the extraordinary
general meeting of Unilever N.V. ('NV EGM') to be held on 21
September 2020 at 10:00 am (CET), including the meeting of holders
of ordinary shares.
The health of our shareholders, staff and partners is of vital
importance to us. As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, and
following an extension until 1 October 2020 of the emergency Dutch
legislation relating to the holding of general meetings in light of
COVID-19, Unilever hereby announces that the NV EGM will be held by
way of a fully virtual meeting. This means that, as a change from
the notice of the NV EGM and related documents, shareholders cannot
attend the NV EGM in person and l ive voting at the NV EGM will not
be provided for. Votes can only be cast by (electronic) proxy in
advance of the meeting.
Unilever understands that the NV EGM also serves as a forum for
shareholders to engage with members of the board of directors on
Unification and related topics. Therefore, the NV EGM can be
followed live on Unilever's website ( www.unilever.com/unification
). The NV EGM will include short statements by the Chairman and CEO
who will also respond to questions submitted prior to the meeting.
Any such questions should relate to the resolutions on the agenda
and be submitted in English by no later than 10:00 am (CET) on 18
September 2020 via shareholder.services@unilever.com . Unilever may
summarise and bundle questions thematically or set further
conditions to facilitate the smooth running of the NV EGM.
Shareholders who have submitted questions before the deadline
mentioned above will be entitled to ask follow-up questions during
the NV EGM in accordance with the instructions received prior to
the NV EGM, insofar the order of the meeting allows. The responses
to such questions will be made available on the website of Unilever
after the NV EGM.
Shareholders who hold their shares in a securities account under
the Dutch giro system can only vote through the online voting
system of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (www.abnamro.com/evoting) which
entails a voting instruction. Holders of registered shares will be
approached by IQ EQ Financial Services B.V. to give their voting
instructions. As a change from the notice of the NV EGM, the
deadline for giving such voting instructions has been extended for
all holders of shares until 5:30 pm (CET) on 16 September 2020. The
voting instructions will be exercised by one of the civil law
notaries of Mr M.J. Meijer Notarissen N.V. or their
substitutes.
