        Exhibit 99</p>

        <p class="c2"><strong><font size="5"><font face="Arial">UNILEVER AGREES TO SELL NORTH
        AMERICAN LAUNDRY BUSINESS&nbsp;TO&nbsp;VESTAR CAPITAL
        PARTNERS&nbsp;</font></font></strong></p>

        <p class="c4"><font face="Arial">Unilever today announced that it has signed a definitive
        agreement to sell its North American laundry
        business&nbsp;in&nbsp;US,&nbsp;Canada&nbsp;and&nbsp;Puerto Rico&nbsp;to&nbsp;Vestar Capital
        Partners.<br>
        </font></p>

        <p class="c4"><font face="Arial">Vestar Capital Partners (Vestar) is a leading global
        private equity firm. Vestar will merge the business with its existing operation, Huish
        Detergents Inc., to form a new company, The&nbsp;Sun Products Corporation&nbsp;(Sun
        Products).<br>
        </font></p>

        <p class="c4"><font face="Arial">The consideration&nbsp;consists&nbsp;of a cash
        payment&nbsp;of $1.075 billion, together with preferred shares in The Sun Products
        Corporation&nbsp;with a face value of<font color="#3366ff">&nbsp;</font> $375 million, and
        warrants offering the opportunity to acquire up to 2.5% of the common equity of The Sun
        Products Corporation.&nbsp;&nbsp;</font> <font face="Arial"><br>
        </font></p>

        <p class="c4"><font face="Arial">The&nbsp;businesses&nbsp;to be&nbsp;sold&nbsp;include the
        all<strong><font size="2">&reg;</font></strong>,&nbsp;Snuggle<strong><font size="2">&reg;</font></strong>,

        Sunlight<strong><font size="2">&reg;</font></strong>&nbsp;fabric cleaning and fabric
        conditioning brands in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico, as well as Unilever's manufacturing
        facility in Baltimore, MD, USA.&nbsp;</font> <font face="Arial"><br>
        </font></p>

        <p class="c4"><font face="Arial">Patrick Cescau,
        Unilever's&nbsp;Group&nbsp;Chief&nbsp;Executive, said: "We have reached a&nbsp;good
        deal&nbsp;for&nbsp;both&nbsp;Unilever shareholders and&nbsp;the business. It
        puts&nbsp;our&nbsp;North American laundry people&nbsp;and&nbsp;brands&nbsp;into
        a&nbsp;company which is focused on the laundry category and which, with its new
        combined&nbsp;portfolio, is well-positioned&nbsp;to&nbsp;become&nbsp;a&nbsp;strong
        player&nbsp;in their&nbsp;market.&nbsp;</font></p>

        <p class="c4"><font face="Arial">"Laundry&nbsp;remains an important category&nbsp;for
        Unilever&nbsp;outside&nbsp;North America. This transaction will allow&nbsp;us to
        focus&nbsp;our&nbsp;resources on&nbsp;our&nbsp;leading positions in Europe, Asia, Africa
        and&nbsp;Latin America&nbsp;where&nbsp;we continue to drive for expanded leadership."<br>
        </font></p>

        <p class="c4"><font face="Arial">Both Unilever and Vestar will seek to
        ensure&nbsp;a&nbsp;seamless&nbsp;transition of the business for&nbsp;retail customers
        throughout&nbsp;US,&nbsp;Canada&nbsp;and&nbsp;Puerto Rico.&nbsp;&nbsp;</font>
        <font face="Arial"><br>
        </font></p>

        <p class="c4"><font face="Arial">The&nbsp;US,&nbsp;Canada&nbsp;and&nbsp;Puerto
        Rico&nbsp;laundry business generated $1.0 billion in&nbsp;turnover&nbsp;for Unilever in
        2007.<br>
        </font></p>

        <p class="c4"><font face="Arial">The&nbsp;sale&nbsp;is part of
        Unilever's&nbsp;previously&nbsp;announced plans to dispose of non-strategic brands with
        collectively more than &euro;2 billion in turnover.<br>
        </font></p>

        <p class="c4"><font face="Arial">The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval,
        is expected to close in 2008. &nbsp;</font></p>
