provisions of this Agreement and must continue at all times to conduct himself with good faith towards the Company and not do anything that is harmful to the Company. 
  

	17.	 Miscellaneous 



 

	17.1	 If the Executive is at any time granted options or rights pursuant to any share option or share incentive
scheme of the Company or any other member of the Unilever Group, those options or rights shall be subject to the rules of that scheme as in force from time to time which rules shall not form part of the Executive’s service contract. In
particular, if the Executive’s employment should terminate for any reason (including as a result of a repudiatory breach of contract by the Company) his rights will be governed entirely by the terms of that scheme and he will not be entitled to
any further or other compensation for any loss of any right or benefit or prospective right or benefit under any such scheme which he may have enjoyed, whether such compensation is claimed by way of damages for wrongful dismissal or other breach of
contract or by way of compensation for loss of office or otherwise.

been signed by, or on behalf of, the parties. 


  

	18.	 Status of these terms and conditions

the Executive’s reward package and the pensions notification but otherwise it supersedes and replaces all 







 
agreements or arrangements whether written, oral or implied between the Company or any member of the Unilever Group and the Executive relating to the employment of the Executive or the

Holidays applicable in the Executive’s normal place of work) to be taken at times mutually agreed between the Executive and the Chief Executive Officer. 


  


	7.3	 The Executive acknowledges and agrees with the Companies that he is a managing executive and is able to
determine the duration of his working time for the purposes of the Working Time Directive and does not therefore fall subject to limits on weekly working hours under Applicable Law. 



 

	8	 Termination 


  

	8.1	 The Executive’s service pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall continue unless and until it is
terminated: 


  

	 	8.1.1	 by a Company giving the Executive twelve months’ prior written notice; or 



 

	 	8.1.2	 by the Executive giving a Company six months’ prior written notice; which shall automatically constitute,
in the case given to NV, the same notice of termination by the Executive of his 










	 	
employment with PLC, and in the case given to PLC, the same notice of termination by the Executive with NV or 


 

	 	8.1.3	 at any time in accordance with clauses 9 or 10. 



 

	8.2	 The Executive’s role as a Director shall continue until terminated in accordance with the Articles of
Association (and other constitutional documents) of the relevant Company, the provisions of Applicable Law or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. 


  

	9	 Notice Payments 



 

	9.1	 In the event of termination of the service of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement by the Company for any
reason other than a reason pursuant to Clause 10, the Company may, instead of requiring the Executive to work during the period of notice, elect to make a severance payment to the Executive, in which case the Executive’s service pursuant to
this Agreement will immediately terminate and such date shall be the date of termination for the purposes of this Agreement. If the Company so elects, the Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits referred to in Clauses 9.2 to 9.3.
Any payment made by either Company in accordance with this Clause shall be made on behalf of both Companies and shall discharge the liability of both Companies pursuant to this Clause. 



 

	9.2	 If the Company elects to make a severance payment pursuant to Clause 9.1 then such severance payment shall be
the aggregate of: 


  

	 	9.2.1	 a sum equal to the basic salary and fixed allowance payable by the Company to the Executive for the period for
which this Agreement would otherwise have continued; and 


  

	 	9.2.2	 subject to clause 9.4, the amount of any annual bonus award which the Compensation Committee may in its
absolute discretion award, such bonus (if any) to be estimated by the Compensation Committee in its absolute discretion taking into account the Executive’s performance to be payable to the Executive in respect of the financial year in which the
termination payment is made, pro rated to the date of termination. 


  

	9.3	 By this means, if the Company elects to operate Clause 9.1, termination may be effected by payment of the
severance payment as referred to in Clause 9.2 in lieu of notice for the full period of notice or a combination of the Executive working part of his notice period followed by such a severance payment in lieu of the remaining notice period.



  

	9.4	 The Compensation Committee shall have absolute discretion as to whether to grant an annual bonus, and the
amount of any annual bonus award for the financial year in which his service pursuant to this Agreement ceases (whether pursuant to Clause 9.1 or at the end of the full notice period), provided always that the Executive is and continues to be in
compliance with his confidentiality and other covenants set out in this Agreement. The amount of any such bonus shall be determined by the Compensation Committee taking into account time in employment and performance. 



 

	9.5	 Upon termination of the services of the Executive provided pursuant to this Agreement, share awards shall be
dealt with in accordance with the relevant plan rules, which shall include a condition of ongoing compliance with any covenants applicable to the Executive, and shall be dealt with in compliance with the remuneration policies applicable at the date
of termination. 


  

	9.6	 The Executive will if requested sign a general release of all and any claims (contractual and statutory) in a
form satisfactory to the Company in exchange for any payment under this Clause 9. 


  

	10	 Summary Termination 



 

	10.1	 Either Company may terminate the Executive’s service pursuant to this Agreement forthwith, without notice
or compensation, in any circumstances where the Executive: 


  

	 	10.1.1	 shall become incapacitated from any cause whatsoever from performing his duties hereunder for at least twelve
months; or

director in either the UK or the Netherlands; or 


  

	 	10.1.3	 is convicted of any criminal offence which prevents him from fulfilling his duties hereunder: or











	 	10.1.4	 shall fail to perform his duties competently or is guilty of any serious or persistent neglect or serious
misconduct in the discharge of duties, or commits any wilful, serious or persistent breach of any codes of conduct, policies and procedures issued by the Company; or 



 

	 	10.1.5	 becomes bankrupt or makes any composition or enters into any deed of arrangement with creditors.



  

	10.2	 Any delay by the Company in exercising the right to terminate summarily under the clauses set out above shall
not constitute a waiver of that right. The Executive shall have no claim for compensation in respect of such termination. 


  

	11	 Following Termination 



 

	11.1	 Following the termination of employment, for whatever reason or by whatever means, the Executive shall not
represent, either expressly or impliedly, to any person, firm or company that he is authorised to act on behalf of any member of the Unilever Group, nor represent himself as being connected in any way with any member of the Unilever Group.



  

	11.2	 Upon termination of employment, the Executive shall tender his resignation with immediate effect from any
directorship that he may then be holding in any member of the Unilever Group without any right to any claim whether for compensation or otherwise. 


  

	11.3	 In the event that the Executive fails to tender his resignation as aforesaid, and without prejudice to either
Company’s and/or the Unilever Group’s rights and remedies under law and in equity, the Executive will automatically be deemed to have tendered such resignation with immediate effect and the Group Secretary is hereby irrevocably, and
severally, authorised by the Executive, in the Executive’s name and on his behalf to sign documents (including but not limited to letters of resignation) for the purpose of bringing such deemed resignation into immediate effect.



  

	12	 Confidential Information 



 

	12.1	 The Executive shall not (except in the proper course of his duties) at any time during the course of employment
or any time thereafter, without the prior written consent of the Company or the Unilever Group, use or disclose directly or indirectly any Confidential Information to any person for any reason other than (i) for the proper conduct of the
Unilever Group’s business whilst in the course of providing services pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) as required by law (provided that the Executive shall at the Company’s expense resist any alleged requirement if the Company
properly asks him to do so). 


  

	12.2	 All Confidential Information that the Executive has received or made (alone or with others) during his
employment with, or the provision of services to, the Company or any other member of the Unilever Group is the property of the Company or the Unilever Group and the Executive shall promptly, whenever requested by the Company and in any event upon

	12.3	 The Executive shall not during the continuance of this Agreement or for 12 months after the Termination Date
without the Company’s prior written consent, publish or cause to be published any opinion, fact or material relating to or connected with the business of the Company or any member of the Unilever Group or its or their suppliers, customers or
partners (whether confidential or not) without first obtaining the consent of the Board. This restriction shall not apply where the information has already come into the public domain other than through unauthorised disclosure by the Executive.



  

	13	 Executive’s Covenants 



 

	13.1	 The Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of one of the Companies, be or become directly or
indirectly engaged or concerned or interested in any other business, trade, profession or occupation or undertake any work for any other person, firm or company whether paid or unpaid during the continuance of the provision of services pursuant to
this Agreement. However nothing herein shall prevent the Executive from holding, or otherwise having an interest in, any shares or other securities of any company for investment purposes only, unless that holding is a significant one in a company
that is a material competitor of any member of the Unilever Group. 


  

	13.2	 The Executive will obtain Confidential Information and personal knowledge of and influence over
customers, suppliers and employees of the Unilever Group during the course of his service under this 










	 	
Agreement up to the Termination Date (or, if any part of the notice period is served as Garden Leave pursuant to Clause 16, the date on which the Garden Leave period began) (such date being the
“Relevant Date”). To protect these and other legitimate interests of the Company, the Executive agrees with the Companies that he will be bound by the following covenants, save where the Companies give their specific consent, for
the period of 12 months (less any part of the notice period served as Garden Leave pursuant to Clause 16) following the Termination Date:

indirectly, (or be a director of any company engaged in) any business which is or is about to be in competition with any business of any company in the Unilever Group being carried on by such company at the Relevant Date, provided he was concerned
or involved with that business to a material extent at any time during the 12 months prior to the Relevant Date; 


  

	 	13.2.2	 he will not (either on his own behalf or for or with any other person), whether directly or indirectly, canvass
or solicit in competition with any company in the Unilever Group the custom of any person who at any time during the 12 months prior to the Relevant Date was a customer of, or in the habit of dealing with, the Unilever Group and in respect of whom

	 	13.2.3	 he will not (either on his own behalf or for or with any other person, whether directly or indirectly,) deal
with or otherwise accept in competition with any company in the Unilever Group the custom of any person who was at any time during the 12 months prior to the Relevant Date a customer of, or in the habit of dealing with, the Unilever Group and in
respect of whom the Executive had access to Confidential Information or with whose custom or business the Executive, or an employee reporting directly to the Executive, was personally concerned; 



 

	 	13.2.4	 he will not (either on his own behalf or for or with any other person, whether directly or indirectly,) entice

with whom he had worked closely at any time during that period. 


  

	13.3	 Each of the paragraphs contained in clause 13.2 constitutes an entirely separate and independent covenant. If
any covenant is found to be invalid this will not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other covenants. 


  

	13.4	 Following the Termination Date, the Executive will not represent himself as being in any way connected with the
businesses of the Company or of any other company in the Unilever Group (except to the extent agreed by such company).

received and held on trust by the Companies for all companies in the Unilever Group.

Intellectual Property Rights made wholly or partially by him at any time during the course of his service pursuant to this Agreement with the Company and, at the Company’s request, shall provide full written details thereof. The Executive
acknowledges that all Intellectual Property Rights subsisting (or which may in the future subsist) in all such Inventions and works shall automatically, on creation, vest in either NV or PLC absolutely. To the extent that they do not vest
automatically, the Executive holds them on trust for either NV or PLC and shall, at the request and expense of the Company, (during the course of his employment or thereafter) assign them to the either NV or PLC or their nominee. The Executive
agrees promptly to execute all documents and do all acts as may, in the opinion of either NV or PLC, be necessary or desirable to give effect to this clause 14.1 and/or to effect all relevant registration(s) and protections. 



 

	14.2	 The Executive hereby irrevocably waives all moral rights under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (and
all similar rights in other jurisdictions) which he has or will have in any existing or future works. 










	14.3	 The Executive hereby irrevocably appoints each of NV and PLC to execute and do any such instrument or thing and
generally to use his name for the purpose of giving the Company or its nominee the benefit of this clause.

	15.1	 Other than as set out in this Agreement, there are no express disciplinary rules in force in relation to the
Executive who is expected at all times to conduct himself in a manner consistent with his senior status. There is no formal grievance procedure but in the event of any grievance, the Executive may raise the matter with the Chairman or the Board, as
may be appropriate. 


  

	16	 Garden Leave 


  


	 	16.1	 At any time after notice is given under clause 8, or if the Executive resigns without giving due notice and the
Company does not accept his resignation, the Company shall be under no obligation to vest in or assign to the Executive any powers or duties or to provide any work for the Executive, and the Company may at any time or from time to time during any
period of notice (whether given by the Company or the Executive) require that the Executive does not: 


  

	 	16.1.1	 attend at any premises of the Company; 



 

	 	16.1.2	 retain or seek to obtain any access to electronic systems or devices owned or operated by the Company or a

company in the Unilever Group. 


  

	16.2	 Salary and fixed allowance will not cease to be payable by reason of such requirement and the Executive shall
continue to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and must continue at all times to conduct himself with good faith towards the Company and the Unilever Group and not do anything that is harmful to the Company or the Unilever Group.



  

	17	 Suspension 


  

	17.1	 In circumstances where the Company believes there is a reasonable suspicion of breach of this Agreement, in
order that the circumstances giving rise to that belief may be investigated, the Company may suspend the Executive from the performance of his duties. Salary and fixed allowance will not cease to be payable by reason of such suspension and the
Executive shall continue to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and must continue at all times to conduct himself with good faith towards the Company and not do anything that is harmful to the Company or the Unilever Group.



  

	18	 Miscellaneous 



 

	18.1	 If the Executive is at any time granted options or rights pursuant to any share option or share incentive
scheme of the Company or any other member of the Unilever Group, those options or rights shall be subject to the rules of that scheme as in force from time to time which rules shall not form part of the Executive’s service contract. In
particular, if the Executive’s employment should terminate for any reason (including as a result of a repudiatory breach of contract by the Company) his rights will be governed entirely by the terms of that scheme and he will not be entitled to
any further or other compensation for any loss of any right or benefit or prospective right or benefit under any such scheme which he may have enjoyed, whether such compensation is claimed by way of damages for wrongful dismissal or other breach of
contract or by way of compensation for loss of office or otherwise. 










	18.2	 The Executive consents to each Company and any member of the Unilever Group holding and processing both
electronically and manually the data it collects which relates to the Executive for the purposes of the administration and management of its employees and its business and for compliance with applicable procedures, laws and regulations. The

in connection with the Executive’s employment where it is necessary or desirable for the Company to do so. 


  

	18.3	 If any clause, or identifiable part of any clause, of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by
any court of competent jurisdiction, then this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining clauses or identifiable parts of such. 


  

	18.4	 No modification, variation or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and has
been signed by, or on behalf of, the parties. 


  

	19	 Entire Agreement 



This Agreement is supplemental to the letter dated [        ] 2015 setting out the Executive’s
reward package but otherwise it supersedes and replaces all agreements or arrangements whether written, oral or implied between the Companies or any member of the Unilever Group and the Executive relating to the service and employment of the
Executive or the termination of that service or employment and the Executive acknowledges and warrants that he is not entering into this Agreement in reliance on any representation not expressly set out herein and shall have no remedy in relation to
any such representation.

	3.	 YOUR EMPLOYMENT AND ROLE AT UNILEVER 



 

	3.1.	 Role. You are employed by Unilever as a member of the Unilever Leadership Executive in the role set out
in Clause 2. As you know, roles can evolve, and Unilever may reasonably vary your duties and the content of your role from time to time in the interests of the efficient running of the business, and require you to take on duties reasonably
appropriate to your position, abilities and 










	 	
experience. We expect you to carry out your duties to the highest professional and ethical standards, and to satisfactorily complete any training or development required to fulfil your role.


  

	3.2.	 Working time. You will be expected to manage your time and work to undertake the job effectively.
Accordingly, you are required to work such hours as are necessary for the proper performance of your duties, and devote the whole of your professional time, attention and abilities to carrying out your duties under this Agreement. You should act at
all times in the best interests of the Unilever Group (as defined below). 


  

	3.3.	 Duties. You: 


  


	 	a)	 acknowledge that you are a fiduciary of Unilever (and/or other Unilever Group members), and agree that you will
at all times act in good faith, carry out your duties honestly, faithfully and to the best of your ability, comply with all lawful instructions, regulations and policies from time to time, and use your best endeavours to promote the interests of the
Unilever Group; 


  

	 	b)	 will accept any offices or directorships as Unilever may reasonably require, without any additional
remuneration; 


  

	 	c)	 will inform Unilever immediately of any act or omission of yours which constitutes a breach of this Agreement,
and of any act or omission of any other staff member of the Unilever Group of which you become aware that constitutes, or might reasonably constitute, a breach of the duties owed by that individual; 



 

	 	d)	 will report to the Board as requested, and promptly provide any information, explanations and assistance
requested regarding the business and affairs of Unilever, the Unilever Group and any related matters; 


  

	 	e)	 will devote the whole of your working time, attention and skill to your role with Unilever;



  

	 	f)	 will properly perform your duties and exercise your powers; 



 

	 	g)	 will carry out your duties honestly, faithfully, to the best of your ability and at all times in compliance
with the Unilever Code of Business Principles; 


  

	 	h)	 will comply with all rules, requirements, codes and regulations imposed or recommended from time to time by any
industry or regulatory body relevant to your role and to the business of the Unilever Group; 


  

	 	i)	 will comply with all statutory, fiduciary or common law duties to Unilever; 



 

	 	j)	 will do such things as are necessary to ensure compliance by you and Unilever with the UK Corporate Governance
Code and Dutch Corporate Governance Code (each as amended from time to time) to the extent required by such Codes; 


  

	 	k)	 will comply with all rules, requirements, recommendations or codes as amended, replaced or introduced from time
to time including but not limited to those of the UK Listing Authority (including the Model Code), the Euronext Rule Book and Financial Supervision Act and the New York Stock Exchange Rules; 



 

	 	l)	 will comply with all rules, policies and regulations issued by Unilever whether or not contained in a company
handbook including but not limited to the relevant anti-corruption/bribery and compliance policies; 


  

	 	m)	 will comply with personal shareholding requirements and clawback and malus provisions applicable to variable
remuneration as set out in your reward letter from time to time; 


  

	 	n)	 will comply with the directions of the Board; 



 

	 	o)	 will use your best endeavours to promote the interests and reputation of each and every company in the Unilever
Group; and 


  

	 	p)	 will not do anything that would cause you to be disqualified from acting as a director or have a negative
impact on your own reputation or the reputation of any company in the Unilever Group. 


  

	3.4.	 Governance/compliance. Good governance and compliance is essential to how we operate. It is therefore
important that you comply with all relevant Unilever/Unilever Group rules, 










	 	
policies/standards, procedures and lawful instructions in force from time to time, including without limitation the Unilever Code and related Code Policies (as defined in Clause 18.1 below). Some
key policies/standards in particular are referenced in this Agreement, and for your convenience a list of these is set out in Schedule A (with further details available on the Unilever intranet). Unless expressly stated otherwise, any such rules,
policies/standards, procedures, instructions and Code/Code Policies do not form part of your terms and conditions of employment, and may be amended or withdrawn by Unilever in its sole discretion at any time (so references to policies/standards in
this Agreement should be read as references to such items as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time). If appropriate, any breach of them by you may result in disciplinary action being taken against you (potentially up to and including
the summary termination of your employment, if appropriate). 

  

	3.5.	 Mandatory rules. Any payments, awards or benefits (or other arrangements) offered or made to you in
connection with your employment, Directorship and/or termination thereof are and remain subject to any law, regulation, and regulatory guidance from time to time applicable, including any Remuneration Policy. Unilever is only authorised to make
payments and awards to you which are within the terms of the Remuneration Policy. Any other payment or award shall require the express approval of Unilever’s shareholders, and Unilever will not be obliged to seek the approval of its
shareholders in general meeting for any such payments or awards (or any other benefits or arrangements which would not otherwise be permitted by the Remuneration Policy). 



 

	4.	 YOUR APPOINTMENT AND SERVICE AS A DIRECTOR 



 

	4.1.	 It is envisaged that you will be nominated for appointment, and will agree to act, as a Director of PLC and NV
with effect from the next Annual General Meetings (presently scheduled for May 2019). 


  

	4.2.	 You acknowledge and agree that, upon appointment as a Director of PLC and NV: 



 

	 	a)	 your duties shall include those of the duties set out in Clause 3.3 applicable to a Director of a company
listed in the United Kingdom or the Netherlands (as relevant); and 


  

	 	b)	 your appointment and continued service as a Director, as a member of the Board and the Unilever Leadership
Executive will be subject to the Articles of Association (and other constitutional documents) and the statutory and corporate governance requirements applicable to each of PLC and NV. 



 

	4.3.	 You further acknowledge that, under Applicable Law, you will not be permitted to remain an employee of NV after
your appointment as a Director of it. Accordingly, you agree that immediately upon your appointment as a Director of NV you will cease to be an employee of NV, although NV will continue to be a party to this Agreement and shall retain the rights and
powers ascribed to it under this Agreement that continue to be exercisable by NV to the extent permitted under Applicable Law (e.g. in relation to your ongoing appointment as a Director of NV), which may also be exercised by PLC (which will continue
to be your employer) on NV’s behalf at its request to the extent that NV is not permitted to exercise such rights and powers under Applicable Law. 


  

	5.	 LOCATION  


  

	5.1.	 Country. Your Country for these purposes is the country of your normal place of work from time to time,
as set out in Clause 2 (your “Country”). In order to fulfil your duties you may be required to travel to and work at other offices and locations both within and outside your Country in the proper performance of your duties. If
necessary, and with appropriate notice, it may be necessary for you to relocate to another location on a temporary or permanent basis as Unilever may from time to time reasonably require (although to avoid doubt, nothing in this clause requires you
to relocate to another country at Unilever’s request without your consent). 


  

	5.2.	 Immigration and residence. Your employment is at all times conditional on you having, and keeping, the
right to work in your Country (and in any other country to which you may relocate further to Clause 5.1 above). If circumstances arise that might lead to your losing that right, you must notify Unilever as soon as possible. 










	6.	 FIXED AND VARIABLE PAY 



 

	6.1.	 Fixed Pay. Your annual Fixed Pay is set out in Clause 2, and will normally be paid in equal monthly
instalments in arrears by direct transfer to your bank account, subject to any tax, social security, and other deductions required by law or the terms of this Agreement. 



 

	6.2.	 Annual bonus. You are eligible to participate in Unilever’s discretionary annual bonus plan, in
accordance with and subject to its rules and the remainder of this Clause 6. Any discretionary bonus payment is based on Fixed Pay and made to you at Unilever’s sole discretion; you have no contractual entitlement to receive any discretionary
bonus payment, and any such payment in one year does not entitle you to receive one in subsequent years. 


  

	6.3.	 MCIP. You are eligible to participate in the Unilever Share Plan 2017 (which we refer to here as the
“MCIP”), in accordance with and subject to its rules and the remainder of this Clause 6. Clause 1 sets out the minimum and maximum percentage of annual bonus that you can currently choose to invest in Unilever shares via the MCIP.



  

	6.4.	 General conditions relating to variable pay. Your eligibility for or entitlement to any bonus, share
award or other element of variable pay (including but not limited to those set out in Clauses 6.2 and 6.3 above) is conditional on and subject to: 


  

	 	a)	 the Unilever Remuneration Policy, the rules of the relevant plan (which may provide that a payment or award may
be cancelled, reduced, withdrawn or subject to repayment in certain circumstances, and which will generally require you to still be in employment with Unilever on the relevant date of vesting/payment); 



 

	 	b)	 your performance being in Unilever’s reasonable opinion satisfactory as at the relevant date of
vesting/payment; and 


  

	 	c)	 your ongoing compliance with your obligations in Clauses 12 (Confidentiality), 13 (Intellectual
Property) and 14 (Restrictive Covenants) of this Agreement (and if Unilever reasonably determines that you have breached any of those obligations, including those that apply after your employment has ended, any award/payment that has not
vested/been paid as at the date of the breach will be forfeited and will, at Unilever’s discretion, lapse accordingly). 


  

	6.5.	 Reward framework. We keep our reward framework under constant review to ensure that it continues to
drive business goals and deliver value for the Unilever Group. Accordingly, Unilever will review your pay arrangements on a regular basis and Clause 2 may be updated accordingly (although any such review does not oblige Unilever to grant any
increase). Unilever may also amend, replace or discontinue the arrangements in Clause 6.2, Clause 6.3 and/or any other variable pay plan at its discretion from time to time, without obligation to provide any equivalent or compensation for any loss
of variable pay (although to avoid doubt any historic variable pay awards, including under the Unilever Share Plan 2017, our Global Share Incentive Plan (“GSIP 2010”) and made up to and including in 2016 under the Management Co-Investment Plan 2010 (“MCIP 2007”), will continue to be treated in accordance with the relevant plan rules). 



 

	6.6.	 Deductions. During your employment and upon its termination, we may need to deduct certain amounts from
your pay. You therefore agree that Unilever may deduct from any amount due to you (whether fixed or variable pay) any sum required or permitted by law or owed by you to any member of the Unilever Group. We will, of course, endeavour to give you
prior notice of any significant deduction outside the usual course of business. 


  

	6.7.	 Tax. As a Director of NV, the Dutch tax authorities have the right to tax part of your reward package.
It is envisaged that you will qualify for tax reduction under Dutch tax law by applying the Dutch so-called “30%-ruling” available to foreigners appointed by a Dutch entity. This is subject to
confirmation by the Dutch tax authorities and will be available for a maximum period of 5 years under current applicable legislation. When calculating the Dutch tax liability to be paid via Dutch payroll, Unilever will apply the tax ruling mentioned
in line with the terms and conditions as set by the Dutch government. To avoid doubt you are ultimately responsible for tax payable in relation to your reward package, and have no contractual right to compensation, as a result of this
Agreement or otherwise, in respect of any tax ruling not being obtained, early terminated or changed. 










	7.	 BENEFITS 


  

	7.1.	 Insurance. Private medical insurance, life assurance cover and permanent disability insurance are
provided on the basis notified to you separately. All insurance benefits are provided on and subject to the terms and conditions of your employment and the relevant insurance policy documents, and to Unilever’s ability to procure such cover at
a reasonable cost.  


  

	7.2.	 Indemnity Protection. Details of indemnity protection available to you in the course of performing your
role shall be notified to you separately in writing by Unilever. 


  

	7.3.	 Expenses. Unilever will reimburse you for all reasonable business expenses that you actually incur in
the proper performance of your duties, subject to the ULE Expenses Reimbursement Policy and to your production of satisfactory receipts or such other evidence of expenditure as we may require. 



 

	7.4.	 General. As with the reward framework, Unilever may from time to time at its discretion amend, replace
or discontinue insurance, or amend the terms on which they are provided (including without limitation by substituting other schemes/providers, changing the scale, level and nature of your benefits package which may make it less beneficial to you,
and/or terminating and not replacing any of the benefits for which you may be eligible from time to time if we believe it is in the best interests of the business to do so). 



 

	8.	 PERSONAL SHAREHOLDING REQUIREMENT 



You must build and maintain a personal shareholding in Unilever in accordance with Unilever’s Remuneration Policy as amended from time to
time. This includes a requirement to maintain your personal shareholding for a set period after your employment ends. 
  

	9.	 ILL HEALTH 


  

	9.1.	 Sickness absence. During any period of absence through illness any payments to you over and above the
statutory minimum requirements are made at Unilever’s sole discretion. The duration and continuation of any such payments will be subject to the periodic review of the Board based on their reasonable assessment of the circumstances at that
time, and you must provide satisfactory medical evidence for your absence as requested from time to time and comply with any other relevant requirement. Any sickness benefit to which you are entitled under mandatory local law may be offset against
any other payments provided to you by the Unilever Group during your period of sickness, and any entitlement you may have to any payments in respect of sickness, insurance or other benefit under this Agreement does not affect any right Unilever may
have to terminate your employment in accordance with Clause 11. 


  

	9.2.	 Medical examination. If necessary to ascertain your fitness for work, Unilever may arrange and pay for
you to undergo a medical examination by a relevant professional (e.g. a doctor, occupational health practitioner or other appropriate consultant) of its choice, in which case you should attend any such examination, and agree to a copy of any report
being shared with Unilever. 


  

	10.	 ANNUAL LEAVE 



You are entitled to 30 working days holiday per annum plus public holidays (and may carry forward up to five days’ untaken annual leave
into the next calendar year with the Chairman’s written consent, subject to any relevant policy). No payment will be made for annual leave which has been accrued but not taken (although if on termination of employment you have taken annual
leave in excess of your accrued entitlement, Unilever may deduct any money due in respect of the excess annual leave you have taken from any payment owed to you). Unilever may require you to take any outstanding annual leave during any period of
notice (including during any garden leave). 








	11.	 TERMINATION  


  


	11.1.	 Notice of termination. Subject to this Clause 11, your employment will continue until it is
terminated at any time by either party giving the other the prior written notice set out in Clause 2. 


  

	11.2.	 Summary termination. Notwithstanding Clause 11.1, Unilever may terminate your employment with immediate
effect (and without being required to serve notice or make any payment in lieu of notice or other payment) if, at any time, you: 


  

	 	a)	 commit dishonesty, gross misconduct, gross incompetence, wilful neglect of duty, or any other serious or
persistent breach of the terms and conditions of your employment or of any Unilever Group policy/standard (including without limitation the Code); 


  

	 	b)	 act in any manner (whether in the course of your duties or otherwise) which brings or is likely to bring you,
Unilever or any Unilever Group entity into disrepute, or which materially prejudices or is materially likely to prejudice the interests of Unilever or any Unilever Group entity; 



 

	 	c)	 become prohibited by law from being a director either in the UK or the Netherlands, or resign as a director of
any Unilever Group entity without the Board’s express prior consent; 


  

	 	d)	 are declared bankrupt or make any composition or enter into any deed of arrangement with creditors;



  

	 	e)	 are or become of unsound mind; 



 

	 	f)	 are charged with or convicted of any criminal offence (other than an offence under road traffic legislation for
which a non-custodial penalty is imposed); 


  

	 	g)	 lose or shall lose the right to work in your Country from time to time; and/or 



 

	 	h)	 directly or indirectly advise or participate or act in concert (within the meaning of the City Code on
Take-Overs and Mergers) with any person who makes or is considering making any offer for the issued share capital of Unilever, 



and the right to terminate your employment under this Clause 11.2 is without prejudice to any other legal right Unilever may have to terminate
your employment immediately. Any delay by Unilever in exercising the right to terminate summarily or on short notice under this Clause 11.2 shall not constitute a waiver of that right. 

 

	11.3.	 Payment in lieu of notice. Unilever may terminate your employment with immediate effect by notifying you
in writing that it is exercising the right, conferred by this Clause 11.3, to give you a compensation payment in lieu of any or all outstanding notice due to you (the “PILON”). The amount of any such PILON will be the amount of your
Fixed Pay for the unexpired portion of your notice period, less deductions required by law. In respect of the period up to the termination date, your entitlements under any annual bonus, MCIP or other variable pay plan (including any historic awards
under GSIP 2010/MCIP 2007) will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant plan rules and the Unilever Remuneration Policy. You have no right to any PILON unless Unilever chooses to make such a payment. To avoid doubt, your employment will end on
the date on which you are notified in accordance with this clause, and the PILON will ordinarily be paid via the next reasonably practicable payroll run (or on such other date(s) as Unilever may reasonably determine). You will, if requested, sign a
general release of all and any claims (contractual and statutory) in a form satisfactory to Unilever in exchange for any PILON and/or other payment in respect of the termination of your employment. 



 

	11.4.	 Garden leave. During your notice period, Unilever may require you only to perform specific duties or no
duties at all and/or not to attend work during all or any part of your notice period (i.e. put you on “garden leave”). In addition, you may be instructed not to communicate with suppliers, customers, investors, staff, agents, trustees or
representatives of Unilever or any Unilever Group member, and Unilever may suspend your access to its IT systems/phone and equipment. All other obligations, and payment of your Fixed Pay and benefits, will be unaffected and you will continue to be
bound by the other express and implied terms in this Agreement (although you will generally not be eligible for any annual bonus in respect of any period of garden leave). 



 

	11.5.	 Return of property. At any time upon request, and in any event on the termination of your employment,
you must hand over to Unilever all property belonging to any member of the 










	 	
Unilever Group or relating to its business (in whatever form, whether electronic or otherwise) which may be in your possession or under your control, and without you (or anyone on your behalf)
keeping copies of any reproducible items or extracts from them and/or having downloaded any information stored on any computer storage medium. Following the termination of employment, regardless of the circumstances, you shall not represent,
expressly or impliedly, that you have any ongoing connection with the Unilever Group (except as a former employee) or are authorised to act on its behalf. 

  

	11.6.	 Directorships. On termination of your employment, or during any notice period, if requested by Unilever
you will resign with immediate effect from any directorship/office that you hold in any Unilever Group member without any claim for compensation arising from such resignation. You agree to execute all documents and do such acts as Unilever deems
appropriate to give effect to this Clause 11.6. If you fail to do so, without prejudice to any rights and remedies Unilever may have under law or in equity, you will be deemed to have automatically tendered such resignation with immediate effect,
and you hereby irrevocably authorise the Chief Legal Officer (“CLO”) or equivalent role-holder to sign documents in your name and on your behalf to bring such deemed resignation into immediate effect (including but not limited to
letter(s) of resignation from office and any necessary statutory forms). 


  

	11.7.	 Appointment/re-election as director of PLC and NV. Subject to,
and without prejudice to, Unilever’s rights under the remainder of this Clause 11, Unilever may terminate your employment by giving you the prior written notice set out in Clause 2 in the event that you are not elected by the shareholders in
general meeting as envisaged under Clause 4 above or, once appointed a Director of PLC and NV, if you are not nominated by Unilever for re-election to the office of director of the relevant Company, removed
from the office of director of the relevant Company, or not re-elected by the shareholders in general meeting to the office of director of the relevant Company. 



 

	11.8.	 Reward arrangements. In the event of termination, your entitlements under any annual bonus, MCIP or
other variable pay plan (including any historic awards under the Unilever Share Plan 2017, GSIP 2010 and MCIP 2007) will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant plan rules, the Unilever Remuneration Policy, and your leaver status as determined
by Unilever’s Compensation Committee at its absolute discretion (although to avoid doubt you have no contractual right to compensation, as a result of this Agreement or any alleged breach of it, in respect of any variable pay element upon
termination of your employment). In particular, the Compensation Committee shall have absolute discretion as to whether to grant an annual bonus award (and if so the amount of any such award) in respect of the financial year in which your employment
ends. Any variable pay you may remain entitled to or eligible to be considered for following termination of your employment will be subject to you continuing to comply with your obligations under this Agreement (and if Unilever reasonably determines
that during the Restricted Period (as defined in Clause 14.3) you have breached any obligation in Clauses 12 (Confidentiality), 13 (Intellectual Property) and/or 14 (Restrictive Covenants) that applies after your employment has ended, you will be
liable to repay any award/payment that vested/was paid to you during the Restricted Period). 


  

	12.	 CONFIDENTIALITY  



 

	12.1.	 You will not directly or indirectly use or disclose to any person any Confidential Information at any time
during or after your employment with the Unilever Group (other than for the proper conduct of Unilever’s business, as required by law, or where such Confidential Information has already become public other than through your unauthorised
disclosure). You will use reasonable endeavours to prevent any unauthorised use or disclosure of Confidential Information by any person. 


  

	12.2.	 Among other things, Clause 12.1 means that you must not issue, or cause to be issued, any opinion, fact or
material disclosing any Confidential Information (in print, online or otherwise) at any time, whether during your employment or after it ends, without Unilever’s express prior written consent. In addition, as a senior Unilever executive, you
should be careful with your public statements generally, and we ask that during your employment and the Restricted Period (as defined in Clause 14) you follow any applicable media relations guidelines, and avoid issuing, or causing to be issued, any
opinion, fact or material that could damage the Unilever Group’s reputation. 










	12.3.	 All Confidential Information that you receive or create during your employment with the Unilever Group is the
property of the relevant Unilever Group member. You will promptly, whenever requested by Unilever and in any event upon the termination of your employment, return all such Confidential Information to Unilever without keeping any copy (whether in
hard or soft copy, on electronic storage devices or otherwise), and/or delete such information from any electronic device (including any personal device used for work purposes under any “Bring Your Own Device” policy or similar)
under Unilever’s supervision, as Unilever may direct. You agree to confirm in writing your compliance with this obligation if requested to do so by Unilever. 



 

	12.4.	 “Confidential Information” for the purposes of this Agreement means information (whether or
not in writing) in respect of the business, affairs and financing of Unilever or any member of the Unilever Group and/or its or their suppliers, agents, distributors, customers or staff, including but not limited to information regarding trade
secrets or secret information, Employment IPR and Employment Inventions (as defined in Clause 13), research, technical know-how, products, research and development, designs, pricing, marketing, business and
financial plans, acquisition plans, clients, customers and/or any other information or document that you are told is confidential or should reasonably expect to be regarded as confidential (regardless of the format in which such Confidential
Information is kept, including but not limited to hard or soft copy, on software/IT systems (e.g. Workday), on electronic storage devices, or otherwise). 


  

	13.	 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 



 

	13.1.	 You acknowledge and agree that by virtue of the nature of your duties and the responsibilities arising
from your employment you have, and shall have at all times during your employment, a special obligation to further the interests of Unilever and the Unilever Group. 



 

	13.2.	 You hereby assign to Unilever all rights to Employment IPR and Employment Inventions and acknowledge that in
consideration for all salary, benefits, training and the like received from Unilever or any member of the Unilever Group, all Employment IPR, Employment Inventions and material containing them shall automatically, on creation, vest in and be owned
by Unilever to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the extent they do not vest in Unilever automatically and for the entire life of such rights, including all extensions and renewals, you will hold them on trust for Unilever and agree to execute
subsequent Unilever documents necessitated by law for purposes which include assigning rights to Unilever. You agree to disclose to Unilever all details relating to all Employment Inventions and/or all works containing Employment IPR when they are
created. You agree to execute all documents and do all acts as may, in the opinion of Unilever, be necessary or desirable to give effect to this clause and/or to effect all registration(s) in the name of Unilever and to protect and maintain,
including in confidence, the Employment IPR and Employment Inventions, including to assist in the prosecution and/or defence of the same. You agree to waive and not to exercise any or all current and future moral rights arising under any relevant
law relating to any copyrighted or other work which forms part of the Employment IPR. 


  

	13.3.	 You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive all rights that arise under Chapter IV of Part I of the
Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (whether before, on or after the date of this Agreement) in connection with your authorship of any works mentioned in Clause 13.2, and to any similar rights wherever in the world enforceable, including
without limitation the right to be identified as the author of any such works and the right not to have any such works subjected to derogatory treatment. 


  

	13.4.	 Unilever will decide, in its sole discretion, when and whether to apply for patent, registered design or other
protection in respect of an Employment IPR and reserves the right to work any of the Employment IPRs as a secret process in which event you will observe the obligations relating to Confidential Information set out in Clause 12 above.



  

	13.5.	 The definitions used in this clause have the following meanings: 



 

	 	a)	 “Employment IPR” includes any intellectual property rights created by you at any time in the
course of your employment with Unilever whether or not during working hours or using Unilever’s premises or resources, including but not limited to patent applications, utility models, patents, trade secrets,
know-how, designs (applications, patents, registrations), trademarks and copyrights; and 


  

	 	b)	 “Employment Inventions” includes any inventions made or discovered wholly or partially











	 	
by you at any time in the course of your employment with Unilever whether or not during working hours or using Unilever’s premises or resources.  


 

	14.	 RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS 



 

	14.1.	 You shall not, without the prior written consent of Unilever, be or become directly or indirectly engaged or
concerned or interested in any other business, trade, profession or occupation or undertake any work for any other person, firm or company whether paid or unpaid during the continuance of your employment. However, nothing in this Clause 14.1 shall
prevent you from holding, or otherwise having an interest in, any shares or other securities of any company for investment purposes only, unless that holding is a significant one in a company that is a material competitor of any member of the
Unilever Group. 


  

	14.2.	 Unless you have Unilever’s express prior written agreement (not to be unreasonably withheld), during the
Restricted Period you will not: 


  

	 	a)	 in competition with any member of the Unilever Group: (i) be employed by; (ii) be engaged by; or
(iii) otherwise provide services to, any Restricted Business which is being carried out or will be carried out within the Restricted Area; 


  

	 	b)	 in competition with any member of the Unilever Group undertake or carry on any Restricted Business which is
being carried out or will be carried out within the Restricted Area; 


  

	 	c)	 (i) be employed by, (ii) be engaged by, or (iii) otherwise provide services to:



  

	 	•	 a Restricted Customer; 



 

	 	•	 a Potential Customer; or 



 

	 	•	 any other customer or target customer in respect of whom you had material dealings or material
management responsibility during the Relevant Period, 


 in each case in connection with any Restricted Business which is
being carried out or will be carried out within the Restricted Area; 
  

	 	d)	 (i) be employed by, (ii) be engaged by, or (iii) otherwise provide services to:



  

	 	•	 a Restricted Supplier; 



 

	 	•	 a Potential Supplier; or 



 

	 	•	 any other supplier or target supplier in respect of whom you had material dealings or material
management responsibility during the Relevant Period, 


 in each case in connection with any Restricted Business which is
carried out or will be carried out within the Restricted Area; 
  

	 	e)	 either (i) interfere with the supply of goods or services to Unilever (or any member of the Unilever
Group) in relation to any contract or arrangement that such entity has with: 


  

	 	•	 a Restricted Supplier; or 



 

	 	•	 any other supplier in respect of which you had material dealings or material management responsibility
during the Relevant Period, 


 or (ii) induce any such supplier to cease or decline to supply such goods or services
in the future, or adversely vary the terms on which they are provided; 
  

	 	f)	 in competition with any member of the Unilever Group, for the purpose of any Restricted Business deal with or
solicit the business of: (i) any Restricted Customer; (ii) any Potential Customer; (iii) any Restricted Supplier; (iv) any Potential Supplier; (v) any other customer or target customer in respect of whom you had material
dealings or material management responsibility during the Relevant Period; or (vi) any other supplier or target supplier in respect of whom you had material dealings or material management responsibility during the Relevant Period; and/or



  

	 	g)	 offer employment to, or otherwise endeavour to entice away from Unilever or any member of the Unilever Group,
any Restricted Employee. 










	14.3.	 Each part of Clause 14.2 constitutes a separate and independent restriction (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, each separate and independent restriction delineated by Roman numerals or bullet points or otherwise) and does not operate to limit any other obligation owed by you. If any restriction is held to be unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, it is intended and understood by us that the remaining restrictions will still be enforceable. If your place of work changes to a different country such that the covenants contained in this Clause 14 become subject to the laws of that
country, the covenants will, if necessary, be modified so that they comply with any such laws and in order that the covenants remain enforceable in that country, provided that no changes will make any of the covenants wider in scope. Unilever may
expressly amend the covenants in order to reflect any such changes (and you agree to re-execute any such covenants as necessary in order to give effect to this), or alternatively the changes may be deemed to
be made automatically. 


  

	14.4.	 The definitions used in this clause have the following meanings: 



 

	 	a)	 “Potential Customer” means any target client or customer to whom Unilever or any
Unilever Group member was actively and directly seeking to supply goods or services at any time during the Relevant Period in respect of whom you held material Confidential Information. 



 

	 	b)	 “Potential Supplier” means any target supplier in respect of whom Unilever or any
Unilever Group member was actively and directly seeking to receive goods or services on exclusive or specially negotiated terms at any time during the Relevant Period in respect of whom you held material Confidential Information.



  

	 	c)	 “Relevant Period” means the 12 months prior to the earlier of: (i) the date on which you
are placed on garden leave; and (ii) the date on which your employment terminates;  


  

	 	d)	 “Restricted Area” means: 



 

	 	•	 your Country; 



 

	 	•	 any other country in which the Unilever Group operates (or is planning to operate) business in which you
were materially involved or in respect of which you held material management responsibility; and/or 


  

	 	•	 any other such country in respect of which you held material Confidential Information,



 at any time during the Relevant Period; 
  

	 	e)	 “Restricted Business” means business competitive with: (i) any area of business of any
Unilever Group member in respect of which you held material Confidential Information because of your material involvement or material management responsibility, or (ii) any other area of business of any Unilever Group member in respect of which
you held material Confidential Information, at any time during the Relevant Period; 


  

	 	f)	 ”Restricted Customer” means any actual client or customer of Unilever or any Unilever Group
member in respect of whom you had material Confidential Information at any time during the Relevant Period; 


  

	 	g)	 “Restricted Employee” means any Unilever Group staff member who: 



 

	 	•	 works in a managerial or marketing or sales or distribution or research or senior capacity in relation
to any area of business of the Unilever Group in which you were materially involved, or in respect of which you held material management responsibility and/or material Confidential Information, at any time during the Relevant Period; or



  

	 	•	 has responsibility for or influence over Restricted Customers; or 



 

	 	•	 is in possession of material Confidential Information, 



and with whom you had material dealings and/or for whom you had direct managerial responsibility at any time during the Relevant Period; 

 

	 	h)	 “Restricted Period” means the period of time set out under the relevant heading in Clause 2
following the termination of your employment, less any time spent on garden leave; and 










	 	i)	 ”Restricted Supplier” means any supplier engaged by any Unilever Group member on exclusive or
specially negotiated terms of business at any time during the Relevant Period and in respect of whom you held material Confidential Information. 


  

	14.5.	 Unilever contracts as trustee and agent for the benefit of each Unilever Group member. From time to time it may
be necessary for you to enter into matching restrictive covenants like these directly with another Unilever Group member (e.g. if your employing entity changes), and you agree to do so if requested (and if you fail to do so within 7 days of
receiving any such request, you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorise Unilever to execute on your behalf any document(s) required to give effect to this Clause 14.5). 



 

	15.	 DATA PRIVACY AND USE OF EQUIPMENT 



 

	15.1.	 Data privacy. In the course of our activities, we need to process personal data about our staff.
Unilever takes its privacy obligations seriously, and aims to always process personal data in an appropriate and lawful manner in line with relevant data protection principles. This means that, typically, we expect to process your personal data as
necessary for our legitimate interests, in relation to legal obligations (e.g. our rights and duties as an employer) or to protect your vital interests, and/or where you have given your consent. Further details are set out in Schedule B, and in the
Unilever Global Privacy Standard; it’s important that you read these, and comply with them as appropriate. If you have any concerns about data privacy, either in relation to your own personal data or the handling of others’ personal data
in the course of your employment, you should contact the Data Privacy Officer. 


  

	15.2.	 Use of IT/electronic communications. In the course of your employment, you may be provided with access
to various Unilever Group IT/electronic communications systems, devices and equipment (typically including our email system, intranet, a computer, a smartphone and so on). This is provided for use in your work, so it’s important that you use
any such systems/equipment appropriately, and comply with all relevant Unilever Group guidance and instructions. It also means that you should have no expectation of privacy in your use of such systems and equipment, and you should be aware that in
certain circumstances Unilever might monitor and record your usage of them to the extent permitted by local law. If you use your own device for work purposes, similar provisions might also apply (in relation to such work use only), so you should
always check and comply with any relevant “Bring Your Own Device” guidelines. 


  

	16.	 DISCIPLINARY & GRIEVANCE POLICIES 



 

	16.1.	 Disciplinary and grievance issues. You are expected at all times to conduct yourself in a manner
consistent with your senior status. There is no formal grievance or disciplinary procedure in place in relation to executives of your seniority, but in the event of any such issue the Chairman of the Board will confirm appropriate arrangements, and
you should comply with them. 


  

	16.2.	 “Whistle-blowing”. If you wish to make what is known as a “qualifying disclosure”
(i.e. a disclosure about internal wrongdoing involving criminal offences, health and safety risks, failure to comply with a legal obligation, environmental damage, the concealment of any such issue, and/or anything else that would amount to a
qualifying disclosure or equivalent for the purposes of any applicable law), you should address your concerns in writing without delay to the CLO (or other chair of the Global Code Policy Committee from time to time), expressly stating that you wish
to make a qualifying disclosure. 


  

	16.3.	 Suspension. Unilever may suspend you where it deems this appropriate during any disciplinary or
grievance process in which you are involved. Unilever reserves discretion as to the terms of any such suspension, although we would envisage that it would usually be at your usual rate of pay and for a reasonable period in the circumstances.



  

	17.	 COMPLIANCE WITH UNILEVER POLICIES 



 

	17.1.	 Conflicts of interest and outside appointments. You must comply with the Code Policy Avoiding
Conflicts of Interest and any other relevant instructions/policies issued from time to time (and for these purposes, references in any such policy to your “line manager” should be taken to refer to the Chairman ). Among other things,
this means that during your employment you must: 


  

	 	a)	 notify the Chairman, other Directors of the Board and the CLO as soon as you become











	 	
aware that any conflict situation exists or potentially could exist in relation to your employment or any office held by you; 


 

	 	b)	 not, without first obtaining the Chairman’s, or where appropriate the Board’s, express written prior
permission, directly or indirectly engage in, be concerned with, or have any financial or other interest in, any non-Unilever Group business or entity that gives rise or may give rise to a conflict of interest
or the appearance of a conflict of interest with any Unilever Group member (although this will not prevent you from holding, or otherwise having an interest in, any shares or other securities of any company for investment purposes only, provided you
do so in accordance with the terms and spirit of the Code Policy Avoiding Conflicts of Interest); and/or 


  

	 	c)	 not, without first obtaining the Chairman’s, or where appropriate the Board’s express written prior
permission, be or become directly or indirectly employed or engaged in, or otherwise undertake any work for, provide services to or take up appointment with, any non-Unilever business, entity or public office,
whether paid or unpaid (save as expressly otherwise authorised by the Code Policy Avoiding Conflicts of Interest in relation to roles like school governor, director of a property/housing block in which you live etc). 



For avoidance of doubt, this Clause 17.1 includes outside board appointments, although Unilever recognises the value of such appointments, and
if appropriate the Chairman, or where appropriate, the Board may authorise them on the basis set out above (although there is no obligation on Unilever to give such authorisation, and generally only one directorship of any publicly listed company
per individual may be authorised and you will only be entitled to retain the fee(s), if any, from one such appointment). 
  

	17.2.	 Confirmation. You confirm that you have disclosed to Unilever (in the form of the CLO or such other
contact as we may nominate) full details of all existing and potential conflicts of interest between either you, or to the extent that you are aware of them or ought reasonably to be aware of them, between your immediate family and Unilever or any
Unilever Group member. 


  

	17.3.	 Regulatory compliance. As a ULE member, you are a person discharging managerial responsibilities
(“PDMR”) for regulatory purposes. Accordingly, you must comply with all applicable rules and regulations, including without limitation: 


  

	 	a)	 all applicable rules of any recognised investment exchange regulations of any country in which our shares are
listed, including without the limitation the EU Market Abuse Directive and all relevant rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (as amended or replaced from time to time); and 



 

	 	b)	 any relevant Unilever policy, including without limitation our Share Dealing Manual, Disclosure Manual,
and all relevant Code Policies (e.g. Preventing Insider Trading). 


 This duty will continue (and you
will be deemed to continue to be a PDMR) during and after employment until the later of: (i) six months after the date on which your employment terminates; and (ii) such time as when any price sensitive information you have obtained during
your employment or any office holding ceases to be price-sensitive information, either through publication or otherwise. 
  

	18.	 MISCELLANEOUS  



 

	18.1.	 Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set out
below: 


  

	 	•	 	 “Applicable Law” means in relation to PLC the laws of England and Wales, and in relation to NV
the laws of the Netherlands; 


  

	 	•	 	 “Board” means the Board of Directors of Unilever PLC and Unilever N.V. from time to time;



  

	 	•	 	 “CEO” means the Chief Executive Officer of the Unilever Group; 



 

	 	•	 	 “Code” means the Unilever Code of Business Principles (and references to Code Policies will be
construed accordingly); 


  

	 	•	 	 “Remuneration Policy” means such policy for the remuneration and benefits of directors of
Unilever to be included in its remuneration report in accordance with sections 420 and 










	 	 
421 (2A) of the Companies Act 2006 and Part 4 of Schedule 8 of the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, as
shall from time to time be approved by Unilever’s shareholders; 


  

	 	•	 	 “Unilever Group” means Unilever PLC and Unilever N.V. and any company in which either or both
together directly or indirectly owns or controls the voting rights attaching to not less than 50% of the issued share capital, or controls directly or indirectly the appointment of a majority of the board of management (and references to a member of
the Unilever Group will be construed accordingly); and 


  

	 	•	 	 “Unilever Leadership Executive” comprises the CEO and those senior executives appointed by the
CEO to assist in the discharge of the powers delegated to the CEO by the Boards of Directors of Unilever PLC and Unilever N.V.. 


  

	18.2.	 Intra-group transfer. Unilever may, at any time during your employment, by written notice, substitute
another Unilever Group member as your employer on the same terms and with the same responsibilities. If that happens, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect except that the obligations and benefits previously owed to or enjoyed by
Unilever will be owed to or enjoyed by that other Unilever Group member, and references to Unilever shall then be deemed to be references to that other Unilever Group member. More than one such transfer may be made. You will have no claim against
Unilever if your employment is terminated by reason of the liquidation of Unilever for the purposes of amalgamation or reconstruction provided that you are offered employment with the amalgamated or reconstructed entity on terms and conditions which
in aggregate are not substantially less favourable than the terms of this Agreement.  


  

	18.3.	 Breaches. In the unlikely event of your failure to comply with these terms and conditions (“breach
of contract”), Unilever will be entitled to recover compensation from you for any losses that Unilever suffers as a result of such breach of contract. 


  

	18.4.	 Third party obligations. You warrant that, by entering into this Agreement, you will not be in breach of
any contract between you and a third party (including without limitation breach of any restrictive covenants or confidentiality obligations arising out of any employment with a current/former employer). 



 

	18.5.	 Other provisions. The terms of this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between us in relation to
your appointment and employment with the Unilever Group, and once it takes effect on the Effective Date will supersede and extinguish (without the need for separate notice) all prior agreements, understandings and arrangements with PLC, NV, Unilever
United States, Inc. and/or any other Unilever Group member relating to its subject matter. Any variation to this Agreement must be in writing and signed on behalf of Unilever, which reserves the right to vary this Agreement at its discretion; you
will be given advance notice of any change, and this Agreement (or the relevant provision(s) of it) may be re-issued to you accordingly. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which, when executed, shall be an original, and all counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. There are no collective agreements which directly affect the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement.



  

	18.6.	 Notices. Any notice you are required to give Unilever under this Agreement should be given to the CHRO.
Notice may be given by either party via hand, official Unilever email account, or first class post (and in the case of delivery by post, shall be deemed served on the second working day after posting). 



 

	18.7.	 Governing law. This Agreement is governed by English law and the parties submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales. The various provisions, sub-provisions and identifiable parts of this Agreement are severable. If any provision,
sub-provision or identifiable part is held to be unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, this will not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions,
sub-provisions or identifiable parts. Headings are inserted for convenience only and do not affect the construction of this Agreement. 









 We trust the above is all in order, but if you have any questions please contact the EVP Global Head of Reward.
Please then sign the enclosed duplicate of this Agreement as a Deed (witnessed by an independent witness) as set out below to confirm your agreement to these terms and conditions, and return it as instructed. We look forward to your ongoing service

 SCHEDULE B: DATA PRIVACY 

As set out in your Agreement, we need to process personal data about our staff in the course of our activities. Put simply, “personal data” means
recorded information we hold about you from which you can be identified. This includes obvious items like your contact details, date of birth, citizenship and residence-related information, pay-related
information, performance appraisals, any security photograph and so on; it may also include more sensitive personal data like records of disabilities or sickness-related absence, trade union membership, and any criminal proceedings/convictions.
Essentially, “processing” means doing anything with this data, whether accessing, disclosing, destroying or using it in any way. 
 The Unilever
Global Privacy Standard gives further details about how we process personal data. For these purposes, this may include Unilever Group members and appropriate third parties processing personal data as necessary in relation to your employment and this
Agreement, including (without limitation): 
  

	 	•	 	 staff administration and management, including performance management/analysis and payroll;



  

	 	•	 	 information about your health, e.g. where relevant to monitor sickness absence and take decisions regarding your
fitness to work and related considerations; 


  

	 	•	 	 for maintaining your personal security (and potentially that of your family members) if necessary;



  

	 	•	 	 the administration and operation of the Unilever Group’s IT/electronic communications systems and
maintenance of general buildings and infrastructure security; 


  

	 	•	 	 information about you that may be relevant to further Unilever’s equal opportunity and diversity policies
and obligations (potentially including data about your racial origin, nationality, religion and so on); 


  

	 	•	 	 for disciplinary, grievance or investigatory purposes, including in relation to any criminal proceedings in which
you are involved; 


  

	 	•	 	 compliance with other applicable procedures, legal requirements and regulations, including obligations to third
parties and/or in relation to the public disclosure of details regarding your remuneration, employment and contractual arrangements (potentially including this document); and/or 



 

	 	•	 	 such other purposes as may be necessary for the performance of your contract or to which you consent.



 Accordingly, we expect that most personal data will be collected directly from you, provided by your colleagues (e.g. feedback during
appraisals) or generated by our office systems (primarily through your use of our IT/electronic communications systems, devices and equipment), although information may occasionally also be obtained from third party sources (e.g. former employers
answering reference requests). Processing of such data may take place during your employment, and where necessary after it has ended. 
 We aim to comply
with all relevant data protection principles in this regard. This means that personal data should be processed fairly, lawfully, for limited purposes and in an appropriate way. We aim to ensure that personal data is accurate, adequate, relevant,
held securely, and not excessive (or kept longer than necessary) for the relevant purpose(s). Please therefore update us if any of your personal details change (e.g. home address, citizenship etc). 

Similarly, we may process your personal data on the basis set out above because we need to do so in order to operate our business and/or to perform our legal
obligations (both under your employment contract, and the law generally). If we need your consent in a particular case, we will generally ask for it (and you are free to consent or not, or to withdraw any such consent at a later time). 

We take care if and when we need to export personal data to other countries outside your location (and, if relevant, potentially outside the European Economic
Area) to perform administrative functions, or to appropriate third parties (such as advisors, payroll administrators, potential purchasers of the business in which you work, regulatory/governmental authorities or otherwise as required by law), and
expect that any such transfers will be made in accordance with applicable laws. You also have various rights in relation to your personal data. Depending on the applicable law, these may include the right to correct inaccuracies in your personal
data, and the right to request access to (and in some circumstances 







 
deletion of) certain personal data Unilever may hold. 
 For further details about Privacy matters,
please refer to the Unilever Global Privacy Standard and any other relevant policies; this Schedule is intended for your information only, is not exhaustive, and may be amended by Unilever at any time as appropriate. If you have any questions about
this, or concerns about Unilever’s processing of personal data, you should contact the Data Privacy Officer.
