Basis of calculation<br />

UNILEVER GROUP, Annual Report, 2009<br />

The calculations of combined earnings per share are based on the net profit attributable to ordinary capital divided by the average number of share units<br />

representing the combined ordinary share capital of NV and PLC in issue during the year, after deducting shares held as treasury stock.<br />

The calculations of diluted earnings per share are based on: (1) conversion into PLC ordinary shares of those shares in a group company which are convertible<br />

in the year 2038, as described in Corporate governance on page 58; and (2) the effect of share-based compensation plans, details of which are set out in note 29<br />

on pages 126 to 127.
