          Unilever Agrees to Sell Its U.S. and Canada Oral Care Brands
                               to Church & Dwight

New York, NY - September 10, 2003 --Unilever (NYSE: UN, UL) today announced that
it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its oral care brands in the United
States and Canada to Church & Dwight (NYSE: CHD) of Princeton, NJ. The
transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2003, subject
to regulatory approvals. Unilever will receive $104 million in cash at closing,
plus additional performance-based cash payments of between $5 million and $12
million.

The sale includes, for the U.S. and Canada, the Mentadent brand of toothpaste
and toothbrushes, Pepsodent and Aim toothpaste, and exclusive licensing rights
to Close-Up toothpaste. Sales of the business for the first six months of 2003
were $61 million.

This action is another milestone in Unilever's Path to Growth strategy, which
includes paring down the number of brands in its portfolio regionally and
globally, and focusing resources on the company's leading brands. As announced
last week, Unilever also reached an agreement to sell its Brut line of male
personal care products in the Americas.

Unilever remains fully committed to its oral care business outside the U.S. and
Canada, where in many markets its brands hold leading or strong positions.

                                      # # #

set forth in the reports furnished by Unilever with the Securities and Exchange
