Articles of Association regulatory
"Proposal to amend the Articles of Association of the Company"
A company's articles of association are its written rulebook that sets how the business is run, how decisions are made, and what rights owners and directors have—covering voting, meetings, appointment and removal of directors, share classes and dividend policies. For investors, these rules matter because they determine how easily control can change, what protections minority owners have, and how corporate actions (like issuing new shares or changing leadership) are approved, much like a home’s bylaws shaping what residents can and cannot do.
financial reporting date financial
"The change to the financial reporting date will result in the financial year ending 31 December 2027 being extended"
external auditor financial
"Proposal to reappoint KPMG Accountants N.V. as the external auditor"
An external auditor is an independent, third-party professional who reviews a company’s financial records and reports to confirm they are accurate and follow the rules. Like a home inspector checking a house before you buy, an external auditor gives investors assurance that the numbers reflect reality, which affects trust, the perceived risk of the company, and therefore investment decisions and value.

3. As at the record date of the AGM (9 April 2026 at 5pm CET), the issued share capital of the Company was 612,259,739 ordinary shares. No shares are held in treasury

4. In accordance with applicable US federal tax laws and regulations, Unilever PLC voted in proportion to the votes cast by the Company’s other shareholders.

5. The full text of the resolutions is detailed in the Notice of Meeting which can be found on the Company’s website https://corporate.magnumicecream.com/en/investors/annual-general-meetings.html

A copy of the resolutions passed at the AGM has been submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will shortly be available for inspection at the UK Listing Authority’s National Storage Mechanism which is located at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism

The Board is pleased that all proposals at the AGM were supported by a significant majority of shareholders. The Board notes that Resolution 5 (Proposal to adopt the Foundation Plan for Growth) received a vote of 77.37% in favour. The Board engaged extensively with shareholders and governance bodies as the Foundation Plan was developed and believes that it balances accountability, an ownership mindset, alignment with shareholder interests and long-term value creation. The Board also notes that it rightly carries downside risk for senior leaders from their direct co-investment. Through this detailed engagement, we developed a strong understanding of stakeholder views on the Foundation Plan and received support from a clear majority.

The Board plans to continue to actively engage with shareholders and relevant governance bodies on our approach to remuneration.

More information on the rationale for the Foundation Plan can be found in the 2025 Annual Report.

Change of financial reporting date

The change to the financial reporting date will result in the financial year ending 31 December 2027 being extended by three months to 31 March 2028; after which, the new financial reporting date will become effective as from 1 April 2028.
