99% of Unilever investors vote to become a single London-based group | Daily Mail Online
Unilever shareholders have almost unanimously backed plans to unite the business into a single London-based group.
The move will be the end of an era for the consumer goods business, which has been split between the United Kingdom and the Netherlands for 90 years.
More than 99pc of shares voted in favour of the tie-up, which Unilever wants to complete by the end of November, it said yesterday.
The HQ will now be entirely in the UK, ditching the Netherlands domicile, and the Dutch entity will be merged into the UK entity.
