On 17 February 2015 we announced (RNS number 1602F entitled 'Director/PDMR Shareholding') the number of Unilever PLC Ordinary shares of 3 1/9p each awarded on 13 February 2015 with conditional rights pursuant to the Unilever Global Share Incentive Plan 2007 for Messrs Paul Polman (Director) and Jean-Marc Huët (Director).

The awards that we announced were based upon a salary increase for both Paul Polman and Jean-Marc Huët for 2015 that had been recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board. However, after the announcement date both Paul Polman and Jean-Marc Huët turned down their respective salary increase. The Board noted and approved these decisions of Paul Polman and Jean-Marc Huët on 3 March 2015.

For Mr P Polman (Director), the award under the Global Share Incentive Plan 2007 granted on 13 February 2015 of 38,322 has therefore been recalculated to an award of 36,497.

For Mr JMr R J-M S Huët (Director), the award under the Global Share Incentive Plan 2007 granted on 13 February 2015 of 23,140 has therefore been recalculated to an award of 22,576.
