Unilever CEO expects shareholder support for UK HQ move

Speaking at a virtual conference hosted by Barclays, CEO Alan Jope said Unilever's board was "absolutely committed" to its proposal and is expecting "strong shareholder support."Jope repeated Unilever's belief that the law proposed in the Netherlands by the opposition Green Left party, which would result in an 11 billion euro (9.97 billion pounds) tax bill to the Dutch government, was illegal, but noted that it was still in its infancy.
