Exhibit 99

Unilever - extension of Early Instruction Deadline

London/Rotterdam, 14 June 2018

Further to the announcement by Unilever N.V. ("NV") and Unilever PLC ("PLC") (each, an "Issuer" and together, the "Issuers") on 30 May 2018 of Consent Solicitations in respect of the outstanding notes listed in the table below (each a "Series" and together, the "Notes"), the Issuers hereby announce the preliminary results as at the Early Instruction Deadline and the extension of the Early Instruction Deadline.

Capitalised terms used in this notice and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum prepared by the Issuers dated 30 May 2018 (the "Consent Solicitation Memorandum").

Preliminary results as at the Early Instruction Deadline

The Early Instruction Deadline was 4.00 p.m. (London Time) on 13 June 2018. As at the Early Instruction Deadline, the Tabulation Agent had received Consent Instructions in favour of the Extraordinary Resolution from Noteholders representing over 99 per cent. of the total Consent Instructions received for all Series.

Extension of Early Instruction Deadline

The Early Instruction Deadline shall be extended to the Expiration Deadline, which is 9:30 a.m. (London time) on 22 June 2018. The Early Consent Fee of 0.05 per cent. of the principal amount of the Notes that are the subject of a Consent Instruction will therefore be extended to all Noteholders submitting a valid Consent Instruction in favour of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution which is received by the Tabulation Agent by the Expiration Deadline. For the avoidance of doubt, Noteholders who have already submitted Consent Instructions do not need to resubmit their Consent Instructions.

Payment of the Early Consent Fee remains subject to the satisfaction of the Fee Conditions.

All references to the Early Instruction Deadline in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum shall be deemed to be replaced with the Early Instruction Deadline as extended pursuant to this announcement. For the avoidance of doubt, all other terms of the Consent Solicitations shall remain unchanged.

(1) Notes of any Series which are held by or on behalf of the relevant Issuer, the Guarantors or any Group Company (as defined in the Applicable Trust Deed), in each case as beneficial owner, are deemed not to be outstanding.

Noteholders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold their Notes when such intermediary would need to receive instructions from a Noteholder in order for such Noteholder to participate in, or (in the limited circumstances in which revocation is permitted) to validly revoke their instruction to participate in, the relevant Consent Solicitation(s) and/or the relevant Meeting(s) by the deadlines specified above. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and each Clearing System for the submission and (where permitted) revocation of Consent Instructions will be earlier than the relevant deadlines above.

Further Information

A complete description of the terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitations is set out in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum. A copy of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum is available to eligible persons upon request from the Tabulation Agent.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this announcement. Except as required by any applicable law or regulation, the Group expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Group's expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
