Welcome to our dedicated page for Unilever SEC filings (Ticker: UL), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
Unilever plc SEC filings document the disclosure record of a foreign private issuer with ordinary shares and American depositary shares tied to a global consumer goods business. Form 6-K reports include voting-rights and capital updates, share buyback announcements, Annual General Meeting notices, proxy materials and public disclosures of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities.
The filing record also incorporates operating and financial results, material-event reports, registration-statement references, risk disclosures and governance matters. These documents describe Unilever's capital structure, shareholder voting mechanics, board authorities, equity compensation registrations and recurring regulatory communications under U.S. and U.K. disclosure regimes.
Unilever PLC reports an update on its voting rights and share capital. As at 30 January 2026, the company had issued 2,181,005,247 ordinary shares of 3 1/2p each. None of these were held as treasury shares, but 314,912 shares were held by Unilever group companies, and the voting rights on those shares cannot be used.
This means there were 2,180,690,335 Unilever PLC shares with voting rights on that date. Shareholders can use this voting-share figure as the denominator when calculating whether they must disclose a new or changed holding under the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s transparency rules.

Unilever PLC filed a Form 6-K reporting the accrual of dividend equivalent rights on unvested share-based awards held by senior leaders, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. These dividend equivalents mirror dividends paid on Unilever shares and are linked to unvested Performance Share Plan (PSP) and time-based share awards (TSA) across multiple stock exchanges.
The notification lists individual transactions dated 5 December 2025, showing the number of ordinary shares or ADRs to which dividend equivalents relate, alongside reference prices and total values in pounds, dollars, or euros for each executive. Unilever also states that, going forward, it will no longer provide separate notifications for the ongoing accrual of dividend equivalents, and will instead make a single disclosure when shares are actually delivered after vesting.
Unilever PLC has furnished a Form 6-K that is incorporated by reference into its existing shelf and employee share plan registration statements. The filing attaches an exhibit titled “Completion of demerger of Unilever’s Ice Cream Business”, indicating that Unilever has completed the separation of this business line. This update is formally added to the company’s U.S. registration documents, meaning future securities offerings and employee plans will reflect this corporate reorganization as described in the attached exhibit.
