Articles of Association of Unilever N.V.

Section III
Community of property of shares or depositary
receipts for shares
Article 8
8.1 If shares or depositary receipts for shares form part of a community of property other
than a community of property resulting from the application of the Act on securities
transactions by giro, the Company is entitled to admit one person only, designated in
writing by the joint participants in that other community of property, to exercise the
rights attached to such shares or depositary receipts, except where otherwise provided
by law or these Articles of Association. The joint participants in that other community
of property may also designate more than one person. If that other community of
property comprises shares, the joint participants in that other community of property
may determine at the time of the designation of the representative or thereafter – but
only unanimously – that, if a joint participant in that other community of property so
wishes, a number of votes corresponding to his interest in that other community of
property will be cast in accordance with his instructions.
The Company shall record these instructions in the share register referred to in Article
11 hereof.
8.2 If in respect of a share the shareholder rights vest in more than one person, then in
these Articles of Association, notwithstanding the provisions of the first paragraph,
“shareholder” shall mean the joint holders of that share.
Furthermore, when mentioning is made of a request or any other action by a
shareholder, these Articles of Association shall refer to the corresponding action of
a person, who is authorised to perform that action on behalf of the shareholder or
pursuant to his own right to perform that action, except where otherwise provided by
law or these Articles of Association.
What has been provided above, shall correspondingly apply to depositary receipts for
shares issued with the co-operation of the Company.
