DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No.1 to Form F-3 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-245589) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2020 by Unilever N.V., a Netherlands corporation, Unilever PLC, a company incorporated under the laws of and registered in England and Wales, Unilever United States, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Unilever Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (each, a “Registrant”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Registration Statement registered an indeterminate number of securities, which may include: (i) Guaranteed Debt Securities of Unilever N.V., (ii) Guarantees of Unilever N.V. — Constituting Guarantees of Debt Securities of Unilever Capital Corporation, (iii) Ordinary Shares, €0.16 par value of Unilever N.V., (iv) Guaranteed Debt Securities of Unilever Capital Corporation, (v) Guarantees of Unilever PLC — Constituting Guarantees of Debt Securities of Unilever N.V., (vi) Guarantees of Unilever PLC — Constituting Guarantees of Debt Securities of Unilever Capital Corporation, (vii) Guarantees of Unilever United States, Inc. — Constituting Guarantees of Debt Securities of Unilever N.V. and (viii) Guarantees of Unilever United States, Inc. — Constituting Guarantees of Debt Securities of Unilever Capital Corporation. The (i) Guaranteed Debt Securities of Unilever N.V., (ii) Guarantees of Unilever N.V. — Constituting Guarantees of Debt Securities of Unilever Capital Corporation and (iii) Ordinary Shares, €0.16 par value of Unilever N.V. are referred to herein collectively as the “Registered Unilever N.V. Securities.” This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed solely for the purpose of deregistering any and all Registered Unilever N.V. Securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold.
On November 29, 2020 (the “Effective Time”), Unilever N.V. merged into Unilever PLC by way of a cross-border merger, pursuant to which Unilever PLC acquired all of the assets, liabilities and legal relationships of Unilever N.V. by universal succession of title, Unilever N.V. was dissolved and ceased to exist (without going into liquidation) and Unilever PLC became the single parent company of the Unilever group (“Unification”). In connection with Unification, Unilever PLC assumed all financial indebtedness of Unilever N.V. and all guarantees given by Unilever N.V. in respect of financial indebtedness, and all Registered Unilever N.V. Securities were cancelled.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 30, 2020 among Unilever Capital Corporation, Unilever PLC, Unilever United States, Inc. and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, which evidences the assumption by Unilever PLC of the rights and obligations of Unilever N.V. under the Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of September 22, 2014 among Unilever Capital Corporation, Unilever N.V., Unilever PLC, Unilever United States, Inc. and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee, governing the issuance of the securities registered in the Registration Statement.
As a result of Unification, Unilever PLC, as legal successor to Unilever N.V., has terminated all offerings of the Registered Unilever N.V. Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and, in accordance with the undertaking made in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that had been registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, hereby removes from registration all Registered Unilever N.V. Securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
