Another Form 6-K on 9 December 2025 references an exhibit on an update to the share consolidation ratio. These documents provide formal details on structural changes that may affect shareholders.
In addition, Unilever files extensive disclosures on transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities (PDMRs).

Unilever PLC is launching a new share buyback of up to €1.5 billion, aiming to reduce its share capital. The programme, authorised by shareholder resolutions from 2025, limits repurchases to a maximum of 223,263,040 shares.
The buyback starts on 30 April 2026 and will run until on or before 6 July 2026. Unilever has given non-discretionary instructions to Morgan Stanley & Co. International PLC, which will execute trades independently. Repurchases will generally be disclosed weekly.
Unilever is a global consumer goods company operating in Beauty & Wellbeing, Personal Care, Home Care and Foods. Its products are used by about 3.7 billion people daily, with sales of €50.5 billion in 2025 across roughly 190 countries and a workforce of around 96,000 employees.
Unilever PLC reports that several senior leaders have reinvested cash dividends into ordinary shares of the company. On 15 April 2026, Chief Financial Officer Srinivas Phatak, other Unilever Leadership Executive members, and the Chief Legal Officer acquired additional Unilever PLC ordinary 3 1/2 pence shares through dividend reinvestment plans in both GBP and EUR.
These transactions, conducted on the London and Amsterdam stock exchanges during an open period, involve relatively small share amounts for each individual and reflect automatic or agreed reinvestment of dividends on beneficially owned holdings rather than discretionary open-market buying or selling.
McCormick & Company disclosed details in a Barclays fireside chat about its announced acquisition of Unilever Foods, framing the deal as a strategic move to create a global pure-play flavor company. Management reiterated a clear integration plan, $600 million of run-rate cost synergies, $100 million earmarked for reinvestment, and an expected close in mid-2027. Pro forma 2025 combined starting metrics cited $20 billion revenue and ~21% operating margin. Management expects mid- to high-single-digit adjusted EPS accretion in year one and mid- to high-teens by year three, with EVA positive in four to five years and deleveraging to ~3x within two years.
McCormick & Company discusses its planned combination with Unilever's food business and the strategic rationale for creating a global flavor-focused company. Management says the deal is expected to be accretive in the first year on sales (adjusted), adjusted operating margin, and adjusted EPS, and cites $600 million of cost synergies, concentrated in the first two years after close. Executives describe a detailed integration plan that addresses a required carve-out and subsequent integration, note Unilever already operates much of its food business as standalone (about 80% of food-sales), and highlight revenue-synergy targets in the 3–5% range. The discussion emphasizes geographic expansion (example: Brazil), brand-level upside (Knorr, Hellmann's, Maille, Amora, Cholula), combined R&D and foodservice growth, and a continued strategic focus on flavor rather than competing on calories.
McCormick & Company describes its proposed combination with the Unilever Foods business, framing the deal as a strategic, volume-driven merger that would expand McCormick’s global brand portfolio and distribution. The letter cites 2025 operating momentum and Q1 2026 results as the foundation for pursuing the transaction, notes that Knorr has $5 billion in annual sales, and states Unilever shareholders would receive McCormick shares at close. Management expects the combined company to retain the McCormick name, be led by current McCormick management, maintain headquarters in Hunt Valley, and operate an international headquarters in the Netherlands. The communication emphasizes anticipated accretion in the first full year, integration via transition services agreements, and an investment‑grade target for post‑close leverage and dividends.
McCormick & Company outlines a proposed combination with Unilever's food business framed as a Reverse Morris Trust to create a global food company focused on flavor. Management says the combined group would be about two thirds Unilever foods and one third McCormick by size and expects the deal to be accretive in the first year to sales, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted EPS. The company highlighted integration planning (separation then integration), noting 80% of Unilever Foods sales are already separated, and cited sourcing scale with work across 54,000 smallholder farmers. The discussion focused on brand fit (Hellmann’s, Knorr, Cholula, Frank’s), innovation, and operational cost pressures such as higher packaging inputs tied to energy prices.
McCormick & Company is combining its business with Unilever's foods business to create a roughly $20 billion global flavor company that will include brands such as French's, Frank's RedHot, and Hellmann's. The companies expect about $600 million of cost synergies and say the deal will be accretive in year one to sales, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted EPS.
Management says the transaction rests on expanded global distribution, complementary R&D, and reinvestment behind brands; McCormick notes it sources over 17,000 ingredients from 90 countries and that 80% of Unilever's foods portfolio is already standalone, which they say lowers integration complexity. Timing and detailed EPS figures are not provided in the excerpt.
