Buy-Back by Unilever Overseas Holdings Limited and Consequent De-Listing, of Shares of Unilever Pakistan Limited

Unilever Overseas Holdings Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Unilever PLC), which currently holds 75.07% of the total issued shares of Unilever Pakistan, has decided to acquire all the remaining outstanding ordinary shares in Unilever Pakistan Limited, and to seek the de listing of the shares of Unilever Pakistan from the Stock Exchanges in Pakistan and the revocation of the CDS Eligibility of the shares of Unilever Pakistan. This decision is in line with Unilever PLC’s strategy for Unilever Pakistan, which is to maximise Unilever’s shareholding to as close to 100% and to de-list Unilever Pakistan.

In this connection Unilever Overseas offers to purchase from the other shareholders of Unilever Pakistan their entire shareholding in Unilever Pakistan at the purchase price of Rs. 9.700 per share, based on Regulation 30-A (i) of the Listing Regulations of the Stock Exchanges.

This offer is, of course, subject to acceptance by the Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad Stock Exchanges and will be processed in accordance with the procedures prescribed by them in their respective Listing Regulations.

For the proposed purchase of shares of Unilever Pakistan, Unilever Overseas Holdings will in due course be appointing a Purchase Agent, who will oversee and manage the buy-back process.

It would therefore be appreciated if Unilever Pakistan would inform the Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad Stock Exchanges and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan of our intention to acquire the shares of the other shareholders in Unilever Pakistan at the purchase price mentioned above, and to seek the de-listing of the shares of Unilever Pakistan from the Stock Exchanges and the revocation of the CDS Eligibility of the shares of Unilever Pakistan.
