Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Unilever PLC filed an amended report to correct a prior update on its voting rights and share capital. The earlier announcement misstated the number of ordinary shares held by Unilever group companies, which in turn affected the quoted figure for shares with voting rights.

As at 31 December 2025, Unilever PLC had 2,181,005,247 ordinary shares of 3 1/2p each in issue, with no shares held in treasury. Of these, 314,912 ordinary shares (including those represented by ADSs) were held by or on behalf of Unilever group companies and their voting rights are not exercisable. This leaves 2,180,690,335 shares with voting rights, which shareholders may use as the denominator when assessing whether they must notify their holdings under UK disclosure rules.

Voting Rights and Capital Update
 
Correction made to Unilever PLC's filing related to total voting rights released on 2 January 2026. The original announcement included an erroneous reference to 319,412 ordinary shares (including ordinary shares represented by Unilever PLC ADSs) held by or on behalf of companies in the Unilever group resulting in 2,180,685,835 ordinary shares with voting rights. As of 31 December 2025, 314,912 ordinary shares (including ordinary shares represented by Unilever PLC ADSs) were held by or on behalf of companies in the Unilever group resulting in 2,180,690,335 ordinary shares with voting rights.
 
The amended announcement is set out in full below:
 
The following notification is made in accordance with the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1.
 
Unilever PLC's issued share capital as at 31 December 2025 consisted of 2,181,005,247 ordinary shares of 3 1/2p each. Of those ordinary shares, no shares were held as treasury shares and 314,912 ordinary shares (including ordinary shares represented by Unilever PLC ADSs) were held by or on behalf of companies in the Unilever group (the "Unilever Group Shares"). The voting rights attaching to the Unilever Group Shares are not exercisable. Accordingly, as at 31 December 2025, there were 2,180,690,335 shares with voting rights.
 
The figure of 2,180,690,335 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Unilever PLC under the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
