CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

This document may contain forward-looking statements, including forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as
will, aim, expects, anticipates, intends, looks, believes, vision, or the negative of these terms and other similar expressions of future performance or
results, and their negatives, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and assumptions regarding anticipated developments and other factors affecting the Group.
They are not historical facts, nor are they guarantees of future performance.

Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties,

to differ materially are: Unilevers global brands not meeting consumer preferences; Unilevers ability to innovate and remain competitive; Unilevers investment choices in its portfolio management; inability to find sustainable
solutions to support long-term growth; customer relationships; the recruitment and retention of talented employees; disruptions in our supply chain; the cost of raw materials and commodities; the production of safe and high quality products; secure
and reliable IT infrastructure; successful execution of acquisitions, divestitures and business transformation projects; economic and political risks and natural disasters; financial risks; failure to meet high and ethical standards; and managing
regulatory, tax and legal matters. Further details of potential risks and uncertainties affecting the Group are described in the Groups filings with the London Stock Exchange, Euronext Amsterdam and the US Securities and Exchange Commission,
including in the Groups Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2013 and the Annual Report and Accounts 2013. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this document. 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.

This report on Form 20-F and the Groups Annual Report and Accounts 2013 (furnished separately on 7 March 2014 under Form 6-K) contain certain measures that
are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) such as IFRS. We believe this information, along with comparable GAAP measurements, is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring our operating performance,
ability to retire debt and invest in new business opportunities. Our management uses these financial measures, along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating performance and value creation. Non-GAAP
financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures as reported by us may not be comparable with similarly titled amounts
reported by other companies. In addition, there are limitations on the usefulness of our reported non-GAAP financial measures.

We report on the following non-GAAP
measures:

| |  | underlying sales growth;
|- |  | ------------------------

| |  | underlying volume growth;
|- |  | -------------------------

| |  | core operating profit and core operating margin (including acquisition and disposal related costs, gain/(loss) on disposal of group companies, impairments and other one-off costs (non-core items));
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | core earnings per share (core EPS);
|- |  | -----------------------------------

| |  | free cash flow; and
|- |  | -------------------

| |  | net debt.
|- |  | ---------

The information set forth under the heading Non-GAAP measures on pages 32 to 33 of the
Groups Annual Report and Accounts 2013 furnished separately on 7 March 2014 under Form 6-K is incorporated by reference. Within these pages further information about the above measures can be found.

 DIVIDEND RECORD
The following tables show the dividends declared and dividends paid by NV and PLC for the last five years, expressed in terms of the revised share denominations
which became effective from 22 May 2006. Differences between the amounts ultimately received by US holders of NV and PLC shares are the result of changes in exchange rates between the equalisation of the dividends and the date
of payment.  Following agreement at the 2009 AGMs and separate meetings of ordinary

| |  | As a branded goods business,
Unilevers success depends on the value and relevance of our brands and products to consumers across the world and on our ability to innovate and remain competitive. |  | Consumer tastes, preferences and behaviours are constantly changing and Unilevers
ability to anticipate and respond to these changes and to continue to differentiate our brands and products is vital to our business. 
We are dependent on creating innovative products that continue to meet the needs of our consumers. If we are unable to innovate effectively, Unilevers sales or
margins could be materially adversely affected.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |  |

| |  | Our business depends on purchasing
materials, efficient manufacturing and the timely distribution of products to our customers.                                                                    |  | Our supply chain network is exposed to potentially adverse events such as physical
disruptions, environmental and industrial accidents or bankruptcy of a key supplier which could impact our ability to deliver orders to our customers. 
The cost of our products can be significantly affected by the cost of the underlying commodities and materials from which they are made. Fluctuations in these costs
cannot always be passed on to the consumer through pricing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |  |

| |  | Unilevers operations are
increasingly dependent on IT systems and the management of information.                                                                                                  |  | We interact electronically with customers, suppliers and consumers in ways which place ever
greater emphasis on the need for secure and reliable IT systems and infrastructure and careful management of the information that is in our possession. 
Disruption of our IT systems could inhibit our business operations in a number of ways, including disruption to sales, production and cash flows, ultimately impacting our
results.  There is also a threat from unauthorised access and misuse of
sensitive information. Unilevers information systems could be subject to unauthorised access or the mistaken disclosure of information which disrupts Unilevers business and/or leads to loss of assets. |  |

transformation projects is key to delivering their intended business benefits and avoiding disruption to other business activities.                                        |  | Unilever is continually engaged in major change projects, including acquisitions and disposals
and outsourcing, to drive continuous improvement in our business and to strengthen our portfolio and capabilities. 
Failure to execute such transactions or change projects successfully, or performance issues with third party outsourced providers on which we are dependent, could result
in under-delivery of the expected benefits. Furthermore, disruption may be caused in other parts of the business.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |  |

| |  | Unilever operates across the globe and
is exposed to a range of external economic and political risks and natural disasters that may affect the execution of our strategy or the running of our operations. |  | Adverse economic conditions may result in reduced consumer demand for our products, and may
affect one or more countries within a region, or may extend globally.  Government actions such as
fiscal stimulus, changes to taxation and price controls can impact on the growth and profitability of our local operations. 
Social and political upheavals and natural disasters can disrupt sales and operations. 
In 2013, more than half of Unilevers turnover came from emerging markets including Brazil, India, Indonesia, Turkey, South Africa, China, Mexico and Russia. These
markets offer greater growth opportunities but also expose Unilever to economic, political and social volatility in these markets.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |  |

| |  | Unilever is exposed to a variety of
external financial risks in relation to Treasury and Pensions.                                                                                                          |  | Changes to the relative value of currencies can fluctuate widely and could have a significant
impact on business results. Further, because Unilever consolidates its financial statements in euros it is subject to exchange risks associated with the translation of the underlying net assets and earnings of its foreign subsidiaries.
 We are also subject to the imposition of exchange controls by individual countries which could limit
our ability to import materials paid in foreign currency or to remit dividends to the parent company. 
Currency rates, along with demand cycles, can also result in significant swings in the prices of the raw materials needed to produce our goods.
 Unilever may face liquidity risk, i.e. difficulty in meeting its obligations, associated with its
financial liabilities. A material and sustained shortfall in our cash flow could undermine Unilevers credit rating, impair investor confidence and also restrict Unilevers ability to raise funds.
 We are exposed to market interest rate fluctuations on our floating rate debt. Increases in benchmark
interest rates could increase the interest cost of our floating rate debt and increase the cost of future borrowings. 
In times of financial market volatility, we are also potentially exposed to counter-party risks with banks, suppliers and customers.
 Certain businesses have defined benefit pension plans, most now closed to new employees, which are
exposed to movements in interest rates, fluctuating values of underlying investments and increased life expectancy. Changes in any or all of these inputs could potentially increase the cost to Unilever of funding the schemes and therefore have an
adverse impact on profitability and cash flow. |  |

| |  | Acting in an ethical manner, consistent
with the expectations of customers, consumers and other stakeholders, is essential for the protection of the reputation of Unilever and its brands.                 |  | Unilevers brands and reputation are valuable assets and the way in which we operate,
contribute to society and engage with the world around us is always under scrutiny both internally and externally. Despite the commitment of Unilever to ethical business and the steps we take to adhere to this commitment, there remains a risk that
activities or events cause us to fall short of our desired standard, resulting in damage to Unilevers corporate reputation and business results.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |  |

| |  | Compliance with laws and
regulations is an essential part of Unilevers business operations.                                                                                                                |  | Unilever is subject to local, regional and global laws and regulations in such diverse
areas as product safety, product claims, trademarks, copyright, patents, competition, employee health and safety, the environment, corporate governance, listing and disclosure, employment and taxes.
 Failure to comply with laws and regulations could expose Unilever to civil and/or criminal actions
leading to damages, fines and criminal sanctions against us and/or our employees with possible consequences for our corporate reputation. 
Changes to laws and regulations could have a material impact on the cost of doing business. Tax, in particular, is a complex area where laws and their interpretation are
changing regularly, leading to the risk of unexpected tax exposure.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |  |

generally sold through our own sales force as well as through independent brokers, agents and distributors to chain, wholesale, co-operative and independent grocery accounts, food service distributors and institutions. Products are physically
distributed through a network of distribution centres, satellite warehouses, company-operated and public storage facilities, depots and other facilities. RAW MATERIALS Our products use a wide variety of raw and packaging materials which we source internationally, and which may be
subject to price volatility. Although we have seen rather more stable conditions in key commodity markets in 2013 we remain watchful for further periods of volatility in 2014. SEASONALITY Certain of our businesses, such as
ice cream, are subject to significant seasonal fluctuations in sales. However, Unilever operates globally in many different markets and product categories, and no individual element of seasonality is likely to be material to the results of
the Group as a whole. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY We have a large portfolio of patents and trademarks, and we conduct some of our operations under licences that are based on patents or trademarks owned or controlled by
others. We are not dependent on any one patent or group of patents. We use all appropriate efforts to protect our brands and technology. COMPETITION As a FMCG (fast moving consumer
goods) company, we are competing with a diverse set of competitors. Some of these operate on an international scale like ourselves, while others have a more regional or local focus. Our business model centres on building brands which consumers know,
trust, like and buy in conscious preference to competitors. Our brands command loyalty and affinity and deliver superior performance.


INFORMATION PRESENTED Unless otherwise stated, share refers to value share. The market data and competitive set classifications are taken from independent industry sources in the markets in
which Unilever operates. IRAN-RELATED REQUIRED DISCLOSURE Unilever operates in Iran through a non-US subsidiary. In 2013, sales in Iran were significantly less than one percent of Unilevers worldwide turnover. This
non-US subsidiary had 2,426 in gross revenues and 679 in net profits attributable to the sale of home,
personal care and food products to local pharmacies controlled by the Government of Iran or affiliated entities in 2013. This non-US subsidiary stopped making these sales in October 2013 and does not intend to resume that business. In addition, we
advertised our products on television networks that are owned by the Government of Iran or affiliated entities. Income, payroll and other taxes, duties and fees (including for utilities) were payable to the Government of Iran and affiliated entities
in connection with our operations. Our non-US subsidiary maintains bank accounts in Iran to facilitate our business in the country and make any required payments to the Government of Iran and affiliated entities. Our activities in Iran comply in all
material respects with applicable laws and regulations, including US and other international trade sanctions, and except as described above, we plan to continue these activities. C. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE The information set forth under the heading
Note 26 Principal group companies and non-current investments on pages 134 and 135 of the Groups Annual Report and Accounts 2013 furnished separately on 7 March 2014 under Form 6-K is incorporated by reference. Please also refer to The Unilever Group on page 1 of this report. D. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT We have interests in properties in most of
the countries where there are Unilever operations. However, none is material in the context of the Group as a whole. The properties are used predominantly to house production and distribution activities and as offices. There is a mixture
of leased and owned property throughout the Group. We are not aware of any environmental issues affecting the properties which would have a material impact upon the Group, and there are no material encumbrances on our properties. Any difference
between the market value of properties held by the Group and the amount at which they are included in the balance sheet is not significant. We believe our existing facilities are satisfactory for our current business and we currently have no
plans to construct new facilities or expand or improve our current facilities in a manner that is material to the Group. The information set forth under the
following headings of the Groups Annual Report and Accounts 2013 furnished separately on 7 March 2014 under Form 6-K is incorporated by reference: 

% Turnover at 51.3 billion increased 10.5%, including a positive
impact from foreign exchange of 2.2% and acquisitions net of disposals of 1.1%. Underlying sales growth increased to 6.9%, well balanced between volume growth of 3.4% and price contributions of 3.3%. As in the prior year, emerging markets grew
strongly, with underlying sales up 11.4% and now representing 55% of total turnover. Operating profit was
7.0 billion, compared with 6.4 billion in 2011, up 9%. The increase was driven by higher gross profit and
improved cost discipline. Core operating profit was 7.1 billion, up 12% from 6.3 billion in 2011, reflecting
the additional impact of lower one-off credits within non-core items. The cost of financing net borrowings was 390 million, 58 million less than in 2011. The average level of net debt increased by 0.7 billion to 8.9 billion, reflecting the full-year impact of financing prior year acquisitions such as
Alberto Culver. The average interest rate was 3.5% on debt and 2.9% on cash deposits. The pensions financing cost was a charge of 145 million, compared to 95 million in 2011. The effective tax rate was 26.0% compared with 26.0% in 2011. Net profit from joint ventures and associates, together with other income from non-current investments, contributed 91 million in 2012, compared to 189 million in the prior year. Assets related to businesses sold in
previous years recorded positive adjustments to fair value in 2011, whilst similar but unrelated assets were impaired in 2012.


Fully diluted earnings per share were 1.50, up 6%
from 1.42 in the prior year. Higher operating profit was the key driver with lower profits from business disposals and one-off items, partially offset by higher minority interests
and pension costs and a lower contribution from non-current investments. Core earnings per share were 1.53, up 12% from
1.37 in 2011, reflecting the additional impact of lower one-off credits within non-core items. EXPENSES WHICH MATERIALLY IMPACTED OPERATING PROFIT IN 2012 Absolute
turnover grew by 4.9 billion which translated into a core operating profit increase of 774 million and
an operating profit increase of 557 million due to cost increases in the following key areas. Costs of raw and packaging materials and goods purchased for resale increased by 1.7 billion,
driven primarily by increased business volume of 1.3 billion and input costs increase of 1.1 billion offset
by other items including material cost savings of 0.7 billion during the year. Additionally, distribution costs increased by
184 million. Despite these increases, due to higher selling prices and benefit from customers buying products with higher margins, gross margin improved by 0.1% to 40.0% at
constant exchange rates. Staff costs increased by 0.9 billion due to salary inflation,
particularly in emerging markets, higher pensions charge as a result of one-off credits taken in the prior year and higher bonuses. Advertising and promotional
expenses increased by 694 million as we continue to invest behind our brands. The
impact of input costs and investment in advertising and promotional expenses are discussed further in our segmental disclosures, which also provide additional details on the impact of brands, products and subcategories on driving top line growth. Out of the increase of 774 million in core operating profit, the majority of it was
contributed by Personal Care (365 million) and Refreshments (235 million). IMPACT OF COMMODITY COSTS ON GROSS MARGIN During 2012, the Unilever Group
faced cost inflation of over 1.5 billion. The Unilever Group actively mitigates the impact of cost inflation through a combination of price increases and costs savings to protect
its margin. Hence, despite cost increases, the Unilever Group was able to improve its gross margin by 0.1 percentage points during 2012. Specifically gross margin was protected in 3 out of the 4 categories. In our Foods category the impact of high
vegetable oil prices was not fully recovered as described below. Petrochemicals materially affect our Home Care category, where we have protected our margins. There are no other commodities that have a material impact. Part of our commodity risk, principally vegetable oils and petrochemicals, is hedged using a combination of physical contracts as well as derivatives (futures and
options).

3.8 KEY DEVELOPMENTS 

Personal Care turned in yet another year of strong performance with turnover growth of 17%. Underlying sales growth of 10.0% was driven by both underlying volume growth of 6.5% and a positive price contribution of 3.3%.
This was spurred by innovations like Dove Nutrium Moisture and the roll-out of our brands in new markets like TRESemmé in Brazil and complemented by a strong contribution of the recently acquired brands from the Kalina acquisition. 

Core operating profit at 3.1 billion was higher by 365 million over the
prior year. Out of the 365 million, turnover growth contributed 465 million which was offset by 100 million from a reduction in core operating margin by 0.6 percentage points primarily due to continued investments in building beauty capabilities and infrastructure, while
gross margins remained stable. REFRESHMENT   million

Refreshment performance improved in growth momentum and profitability. Turnover grew by a strong 10.5% with underlying sales growth of 6.3% reflecting good contribution from underlying volume growth of 2.4% and
underlying price growth of 3.9%. In ice cream, growth momentum was driven by powerful performance in Latin America, Asia, North America and Europe and benefited from innovation behind our global brands such as Magnum, which is now a brand with sales
in excess of 1 billion. In tea, innovation improved growth momentum in particular in emerging markets, such as Russia, Arabia and India. 

Core operating profit at 908 million improved by 235 million over the
previous year. Out of the 235 million, turnover growth contributed 70 million while improvement in
core operating margin by 1.6 percentage points contributed 165 million. Core operating margin improvement was driven primarily by higher gross margin arising from a strong savings
programme and cost discipline.

6.2 KEY DEVELOPMENTS 

Foods turnover grew by 3.3% during the year. Underlying sales growth in Foods was 1.8%. Underlying volume growth was (0.9)%, continuing to reflect the impact of a contracting spreads market and the price rises we took
in 2011 to counter significant increases in input prices. Growth was supported by the roll-out of innovations such as Knorr jelly bouillon and Knorr baking bags, as well as solid results delivered by our Food Solutions business. 

Core operating profit at 2.5 billion increased by 84 million over previous
year. This increase was entirely due to increase in turnover. Core operating margin was in line with previous year as the impact of higher commodity costs on gross margins was offset by improved cost discipline and savings delivery. HOME CARE   million

Home Care delivered a strong performance with turnover growth of 10.4% driven by underlying sales growth of 10.3%, balanced between volume growth of 6.2% and price changes contributing 3.9%. We improved our market
position in highly competitive markets such as the UK, France, China and South Africa on the back of continued innovation and continuing success of our brands like Omo and Comfort. Household care growth was equally supported by the roll-out of new
and improved products, driving strong growth momentum for our global brands Domestos, Cif and Sunlight. 

Core operating profit at 529 million improved by 90 million over
previous year. Out of the 90 million, turnover growth contributed 45 million, while improvement in
core operating margin by 0.4 percentage points contributed 45 million primarily due to better gross margins benefiting from successful new business models.

6.2 UNDERLYING VOLUME GROWTH (UVG) Underlying Volume Growth or UVG is part of USG and means, for the applicable period, the increase in turnover in such period calculated as the sum of
(1) the increase in turnover attributable to the volume of products sold; and (2) the increase in turnover attributable to the composition of products sold during such period. UVG therefore excludes any impact to USG due to changes in
prices. The relationship between the two measures is set out below:  2012

FREE CASH FLOW (FCF) Within the Unilever Group, free cash flow (FCF) is defined as cash flow from operating activities, less income taxes paid, net capital expenditures and net interest
payments and preference dividends paid. It does not represent residual cash flows entirely available for discretionary purposes; for example, the repayment of principal amounts borrowed is not deducted from FCF. Free cash flow reflects an additional
way of viewing our liquidity that we believe is useful to investors because it represents cash flows that could be used for distribution of dividends, repayment of debt or to fund our strategic initiatives, including acquisitions, if any.

ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS A. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS The information set forth under the following headings
of the Groups Annual Report and Accounts 2013 furnished separately on 7 March 2014 under Form 6-K is incorporated by reference: 

Margarine Union (1930) Limited: Conversion Rights and Foundation Unilever N.V. Trust office on pages 46 and 47; and 

Analysis of shareholding on pages 51 and 52. The principal trading markets upon which Unilever shares are
listed are Euronext Amsterdam for NV ordinary and preference shares and the depositary receipts of these NV ordinary and preference shares, and the London Stock Exchange for PLC ordinary shares. NV ordinary shares mainly trade in the form of
depositary receipts for shares. In the United States, NV New York Registry Shares and PLC American Depositary Receipts are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
Citibank, N.A. acts for NV and PLC as issuer, transfer agent and, in respect of the PLC American Depositary Receipts, depositary. There have not been any
significant trading suspensions in the past three years. At 3 March 2014 there were 5,218 registered holders of NV New York Registry Shares and 1,010
registered holders of PLC American Depositary Receipts in the United States. We estimate that approximately 12% of NVs ordinary shares were held in the United States (approximately 13% in 2012), while most holders of PLC ordinary shares are
registered in the United Kingdom  approximately 98% in 2013 and in 2012. NV and PLC are separate companies with separate stock exchange listings and
different shareholders. Shareholders cannot convert or exchange the shares of one for shares of the other and the relative share prices on the various markets can, and do, fluctuate. Each NV ordinary share represents the same underlying economic
interest in the Unilever Group as each PLC ordinary share (save for exchange rate fluctuations). If you are a shareholder of NV, you have an interest in a Dutch
legal entity, your dividends will be paid in euros (converted into US dollars if you have shares registered in the United States) and you may be subject to tax in the Netherlands. If you are a shareholder of PLC, your interest is in a UK legal
entity, your dividends will be paid in sterling (converted into US dollars if you have American Depositary Receipts) and you may be subject to UK tax. Nevertheless, the Equalisation Agreement means that as a shareholder of either company you
effectively have an interest in the whole of Unilever. You have largely equal rights over our combined net profit and capital reserves as shown in the consolidated accounts. The information set forth under the heading Equalisation Agreement on page 47 of the Groups Annual Report and Accounts 2013 furnished separately on
7 March 2014 under Form 6-K is incorporated by reference.


B. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The information set forth under the heading Note 23 Related party transactions on page 133 of the Groups Annual Report and Accounts 2013 furnished
separately on 7 March 2014 under Form 6-K is incorporated by reference. Transactions with related parties are conducted in accordance with agreed transfer
pricing policies and include sales to joint ventures and associates. Other than those disclosed in the Groups Annual Report and Accounts (and incorporated herein as above), there were no related party transactions that were material to the
Group or to the related parties concerned that are required to be reported in 2013 or the two preceding years. C. INTEREST OF EXPERTS AND COUNSEL Not applicable. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION A. CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION Please

issued under the Import and Export Act in the interest of the international legal system or an arrangement relevant thereto. These regulations may contain a prohibition to perform any of the actions indicated in those regulations without a licence.
To date no regulations of this type have been issued which are applicable to Unilever N.V. Other than certain economic sanctions which may be in place from time
to time, there are currently no UK laws, decrees or regulations restricting the import or export of capital or affecting the remittance of dividends or other payments to holders of the companys shares who are non-residents of the UK.
Similarly, other than certain economic sanctions which may be in force from time to time, there are no limitations relating only to non-residents of the UK under English law or the companys Articles of Association on the right to be a holder
of, and to vote in respect of, the companys shares.


E. TAXATION TAXATION FOR US PERSONS HOLDING SHARES IN NV The following notes are provided for guidance. US persons should consult their local
tax advisers, particularly in connection with potential liability to pay US taxes on disposal, lifetime gift or bequest of their shares. A US person is a US individual citizen or resident, a corporation organised under the laws of the United States,
or any other legal person subject to United States Federal Income Tax on its worldwide income. TAXATION ON DIVIDENDS IN THE NETHERLANDS As of 1 January 2007 dividends paid by companies in the Netherlands are in principle subject to dividend withholding tax of 15%. Where a
shareholder is entitled to the benefits of the current Income Tax Convention (the Convention) concluded on 18 December 1992 between the United States and the Netherlands, when dividends are paid by NV to: 

a corporation organised under the laws of the United States (or any territory of it) having no permanent establishment in the Netherlands of which such shares form a part of the business property; or 

any other legal person subject to United States Federal income tax with respect to its worldwide income, having no permanent establishment in the Netherlands of which such shares form a part of the business property,
these dividends qualify for a reduction of withholding tax on dividends in the Netherlands from 15% to 5% if the beneficial owner is a company which directly holds at least 10% of the voting power of NV shares. Where a United States person has a permanent establishment in the Netherlands, which has shares in NV forming part of its business property, dividends it receives on
those shares are included in that establishments profit. They are subject to income tax or corporation tax in the Netherlands, as appropriate, and tax on dividends in the Netherlands will generally be applied at the full rate of 15% with, as
appropriate, the possibility to claim a credit for that tax on dividends in the Netherlands against the income tax or corporation tax in the Netherlands. The net tax suffered may be treated as foreign income tax eligible for credit against
shareholders United States income taxes. The Convention provides, subject to certain conditions, for a complete exemption from, or refund of, Dutch dividend
withholding tax if the beneficial owner is a qualified Exempt Pension Trust as defined in Article 35 of the Convention or a qualified Exempt Organisation as defined in Article 36 of the Convention. It is noted that, subject
to certain conditions, foreign (non-Dutch) tax exempt entities may also be entitled to a full refund of any Dutch dividend withholding tax suffered based on specific provisions in the Dividend Tax Act in the Netherlands. This tax refund opportunity
under Dutch domestic tax law already applied to European Union and European Economic Area entities as of 1 January 2007 and has been extended as of 1 January 2012 to all foreign tax exempt entities including, if appropriate, United States
tax exempt entities. Under the Convention, qualifying United States organisations that are generally exempt from United States taxes and that are constituted and
operated exclusively to administer or provide pension, retirement or other employee benefits may be exempt at source from withholding tax on dividends received from a Dutch corporation. A Competent Authority Agreement between the US and Dutch Tax
Authorities on 6 August 2007, published in the US as Announcement 2007-75, 2007-2 Cumulative Bulletin 540 as amended by a Competent Authority Agreement published in the United States as Announcement 2010-26, 2010-1 Cumulative Bulletin 604,
describes the eligibility of these US organisations for benefits under the Convention and procedures for claiming these benefits.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

CONTINUED



Under the Convention, a United States trust, company or organisation that is operated exclusively for religious,
charitable, scientific, educational or public purposes is subject to an initial 15% withholding tax rate. Such an exempt organisation may be entitled to reclaim from tax authorities in the Netherlands a refund of the Dutch dividend tax, if and to
the extent that it is exempt from United States Federal Income Tax and it would be exempt from tax in the Netherlands if it were organised and carried on all its activities there. If you are an NV shareholder resident in any country other than the United States or the Netherlands, any exemption from, or reduction or refund of, dividend
withholding tax in the Netherlands may be governed by specific provisions in Dutch tax law, the Tax Regulation for the Kingdom of the Netherlands, or by the tax convention or any other agreement for the avoidance of double taxation, if
any, between the Netherlands and your country of residence. UNITED STATES TAXATION ON DIVIDENDS If you are a United States person, the dividend (including the withheld amount) up to the amount of NV earnings and profits for United States Federal Income Tax
purposes will be ordinary dividend income. Dividends received by an individual will be taxed at a maximum rate of 15% or 20%, depending on the income level of the individual, provided the individual has held the shares for more than 60 days during
the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date, that NV is a qualified foreign corporation and that certain other conditions are satisfied. NV is a qualified foreign corporation for this purpose. In addition, an additional tax of
3.8% will apply to dividends and other investment income received by individuals with incomes exceeding certain thresholds. The dividends are not eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations. For US foreign tax credit purposes, the dividend is foreign source income, and withholding tax in the Netherlands is a foreign income tax that is eligible for credit
against the shareholders United States income taxes. However, the rules governing the US foreign tax credit are complex, and additional limitations on the credit apply to individuals receiving dividends eligible for the maximum tax rate on
dividends described above. Any portion of the dividend that exceeds NVs United States earnings and profits is subject to different rules. This portion is a
tax free return of capital to the extent of your basis in NVs shares, and thereafter is treated as a gain on a disposition of the shares. Under a provision
of the Dividend Tax Act in the Netherlands and provided certain conditions are satisfied, NV is entitled to a credit (up to a maximum of 3% of the gross dividend from which dividend tax is withheld) against the amount of dividend tax withheld before
remittance to tax authorities in the Netherlands. The United States tax authority may take the position that withholding tax in the Netherlands eligible for credit should be limited accordingly. DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR US INDIVIDUAL HOLDERS US individuals that hold certain specified foreign financial assets, including stock in a foreign corporation, with values in excess of certain thresholds are required
to file Form 8938 with their United States Federal Income Tax return. Such Form requires disclosure of information concerning such foreign assets, including the value of the assets. Failure to file the form when required is subject to penalties. An
exemption from reporting applies to foreign assets held through a US financial institution, generally including a non-US branch or subsidiary of a US institution and a US branch of a non-US institution. Investors are encouraged to consult with their
own tax advisors regarding the possible application of this disclosure requirement to their investment in the shares.


TAXATION ON CAPITAL GAINS IN THE NETHERLANDS Under the Convention, if you are a United States person and you have capital gains on the sale of shares of a Dutch company, these are generally not subject to taxation
by the Netherlands. An exception to this rule generally applies if you have a permanent establishment in the Netherlands and the capital gain is derived from the sale of shares which form part of that permanent establishments business
property. SUCCESSION DUTY AND GIFT TAXES IN THE NETHERLANDS Under the Estate and Inheritance Tax Convention between the United States and the Netherlands of 15 July 1969, individual US persons who are not Dutch citizens who
have shares will generally not be subject to succession duty in the Netherlands on the individuals death, unless the shares are part of the business property of a permanent establishment situated in the Netherlands. A gift of shares of a Dutch company by a person who is not a resident or a deemed resident of the Netherlands is generally not subject to gift tax in the Netherlands.
A non-resident Netherlands citizen, however, is still treated as a resident of the Netherlands for gift tax purposes for ten years and any other non-resident person for one year after leaving the Netherlands. TAXATION FOR US PERSONS HOLDING SHARES IN PLC The following notes are provided for guidance. US persons should consult their local tax advisers, particularly in connection with potential liability to pay US taxes
on disposal, lifetime gift or bequest of their shares. A US person is a US individual citizen or resident, a corporation organised under the laws of the United States, or any other legal person subject to United States Federal Income Tax on its
worldwide income. UNITED KINGDOM TAXATION ON DIVIDENDS Under United Kingdom law, income tax is not withheld from dividends paid by United Kingdom companies. Shareholders, whether resident in the United Kingdom or not,
receive the full amount of the dividend actually declared. UNITED STATES TAXATION ON DIVIDENDS If you are a US person, the dividend up to the amount of PLCs earnings and profits for United States Federal Income Tax purposes will be ordinary dividend income.
Dividends received by an individual will be taxed at a maximum rate of 15% or 20%, depending on the income level of the individual, provided the individual has held the shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before
the ex-dividend date, that PLC is a qualified foreign corporation and certain other conditions are satisfied. PLC is a qualified foreign corporation for this purpose. In addition, an additional tax of 3.8% will apply to dividends and other
investment income received by individuals with incomes exceeding certain thresholds. The dividend is not eligible for the dividends received deduction allowable to corporations. The dividend is foreign source income for US foreign tax credit
purposes. Any portion of the dividend that exceeds PLCs United States earnings and profits is subject to different rules. This portion is a tax free return
of capital to the extent of your basis in PLCs shares, and thereafter is treated as a gain on a disposition of the shares. DISCLOSURE
REQUIREMENTS FOR US INDIVIDUAL HOLDERS US individuals that hold certain specified foreign financial assets, including stock in a foreign corporation,
with values in excess of certain thresholds are required to file Form 8938 with their United States Federal Income Tax return. Such Form requires disclosure of information concerning such foreign assets, including the value of the assets. Failure to
file the form when required is subject to penalties. An exemption from reporting applies to foreign assets held through a US financial institution, generally including a non-US branch or subsidiary of a US institution and a US branch of a non-US
institution. Investors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of this disclosure requirement to their investment in the shares.

MANAGEMENTS REPORT ON INTERNAL
CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

In accordance with the requirements of Section 404 of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the following report is provided
by management in respect of the Groups internal control over financial reporting (as defined in rule 13a15(f) or rule 15d15(f) under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934):

| |  | Unilevers management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Group;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Unilevers management has used the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework (1992) to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Management believes that the COSO framework (1992) is a suitable framework for its evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting because it is free from bias, permits reasonably consistent qualitative and quantitative measurements
of internal controls, is sufficiently complete so that those relevant factors that would alter a conclusion about the effectiveness of internal controls are not omitted and is relevant to an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | Management has assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December 2013, and has concluded that such internal control over financial reporting is effective; and
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V., who have audited the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2013, have also audited the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting as at 31 December 2013 and have issued an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting. For the Auditors report please refer to Item 18 on page 22 of this report.

Between 26 February and 3 March 2014 Unilever N.V. purchased 527,958 shares with an average price of Euro 28.91 per share to facilitate grants in connection with its
employee compensation programs.

F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANTS CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

In 2013 we conducted a tender process for the Unilever Groups statutory audit contract. The change in auditors is being made in order to remain at the forefront
of good governance and in recognition of regulatory changes in Europe and elsewhere. Accordingly the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V. (together, PricewaterhouseCoopers), Unilevers
current auditor, will not be renewed in 2014. As a result of the audit tender process we announced on 2 December 2013 that following completion of the audit of the Unilever Group financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 and
the audit of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December 2013, KPMG LLP and KPMG Accountants N.V. (together, KPMG) will become Unilevers statutory auditor, subject to approval by
shareholders at the 2014 Annual General Meeting of Unilever PLC and Unilever N.V. The approval for this was delegated by the Board to a Board Committee comprising the Chairman, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the
Vice-Chairman/Senior Independent Director.

During the two years prior to 31 December 2013, (1) PricewaterhouseCoopers has not issued any reports on the
financial statements of the Unilever Group or on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting that contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were the auditors reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, (2) there has not been any disagreement over any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which
disagreements if not resolved to PricewaterhouseCoopers satisfaction would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its auditors reports, or any reportable event as
described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

Further in the two years prior to 31 December 2013 we have not consulted with KPMG regarding either
(i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the consolidated financial statements of the Unilever Group; or
(ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement as that term is used in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F or a reportable event as described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

ITEM 18. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The information set forth under the heading Financial statements on page 85 and pages 90 to 135 of the Groups Annual Report and Accounts 2013
furnished separately on 7 March 2014 under Form 6-K is incorporated by reference.

To the Directors and shareholders

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS

In our opinion, the consolidated income statements and the related consolidated balance sheets, consolidated cash flow statements, consolidated statements of
comprehensive income and consolidated statements of changes in equity set forth under the heading Financial Statements on pages 90 to 135 (excluding Note 24 on page 133) of Unilever Groups Annual Report and Accounts 2013 and the
Guarantor financial information included in Item 18 of this Form 20-F present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Unilever Group at 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012 and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 31 December 2013, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and in conformity with IFRS as
adopted by the European Union. Also in our opinion, the Group maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (1992). The Groups Directors and management are responsible for these consolidated financial statements.

The Groups management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements report on internal control over financial reporting included in Item 15 of this Form 20-F. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these
consolidated financial statements and on the Groups internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting
was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall consolidated financial statements presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A companys internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and Directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ITEM 18. FINANCIAL STATEMENTSCONTINUED



GUARANTOR STATEMENTS(AUDITED)

On 1 November 2011, NV and Unilever Capital Corporation (UCC) filed a US Shelf registration, which is unconditionally and fully guaranteed, jointly and severally,
