CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
This Report on Form 6-K may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends” and other similar expressions of future performance or results are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and assumptions regarding anticipated developments and other factors affecting Unilever. Because of the risks and uncertainties that always exist in any operating environment or business, Unilever cannot give any assurance that the expectations expressed in these statements will prove correct. Actual results may differ materially from those included in these statements due to a variety of factors, including, among others, competitive pricing and activities, consumption levels, costs, the ability to maintain and manage key customer relationships and supply chain sources, currency values, interest rates, the ability to integrate acquisitions and complete planned divestitures, physical risks, environmental risks, the ability to manage regulatory, tax and legal matters and resolve pending matters within current estimates, legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments, and political, economic and social conditions in the geographic markets where Unilever operates. Unilever undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Further details of potential risks and uncertainties affecting Unilever are described in Unilever’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report & Accounts on Form 20-F.
