Unilever PLC
1 April 2020
Unilever announces completion of Horlicks acquisition from
GSK
London/Rotterdam 1st April 2020: Unilever today announced that Hindustan
Unilever Limited (HUL), India's largest fast-moving consumer goods
company and Unilever's listed subsidiary in India, has successfully
completed the merger of GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Limited
(GSKCH) with HUL.
HUL announced the merger of GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Ltd
with HUL on 3rd December 2018, in line with the company's strategy
to evolve the Foods and Refreshment portfolio into higher growth
segments, subject to obtaining necessary approvals. All approvals
have now been secured. As previously indicated, following
completion of the transaction, Unilever's holding in HUL will be
diluted from 67.2% to 61.9%.
Unilever has also completed the related acquisition of Horlicks
brands rights and other Consumer Healthcare nutrition assets from
GSK in other predominantly Asian markets. Bangladesh closing is
expected to follow later this quarter, subject to local
procedures.

Unilever is one of the world's leading suppliers of Beauty &
Personal Care, Home Care, and Foods & Refreshment products with
sales in over 190 countries and reaching 2.5 billion consumers a
day. It has 155,000 employees and generated sales of €52

developing and emerging markets. Unilever has around 400 brands
found in homes all over the world, including Dove, Knorr, Dirt Is
Good, Rexona, Hellmann's, Lipton, Wall's, Lux, Magnum, Axe, Sunsilk

Unilever's Sustainable Living Plan (USLP) underpins the company's
strategy and commits to:
● Helping more than a billion people take action to improve
their health and well-being by 2020.
● Halving the environmental impact of our products by
2030.
● Enhancing the livelihoods of millions of people by
2020.
The USLP creates value by driving growth and trust, eliminating
costs and reducing risks. The company's sustainable living brands
are growing 69% faster than the rest of the business and delivered
75% of the company's growth in 2018.
Since 2010 we have been taking action through the Unilever
Sustainable Living Plan to help more than a billion people improve
their health and well-being, halve our environmental footprint and
enhance the livelihoods of millions of people as we grow our
business. We have already made significant progress and continue to
expand our ambition - most recently committing to ensure 100% of
our plastic packaging is fully reusable, recyclable or compostable
by 2025. While there is still more to do, we are proud to have been
recognised in 2018 as sector leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability
Index and as the top ranked company in the Globescan/SustainAbility
Global Corporate Sustainability Leaders survey, for the
eighth-consecutive year.

IT infrastructure; execution of acquisitions, divestitures and
business transformation projects; economic, social and political
risks and natural disasters; financial risks; failure to meet high
and ethical standards; and managing regulatory, tax and legal

current COVID-19 pandemic. These forward-looking statements speak

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
