Unilever PLC (ULVR.LN) said Tuesday that it expects to complete the simplification of its current dual corporate structure in December, with trading in its new shares anticipated to start on Dec. 24.

The Anglo-Dutch consumer-goods giant, which currently operates as two separately-listed companies--Unilever PLC and Unilever NV (UNA.AE)--said the simplification will be achieved through a combined process involving a U.K. scheme of arrangement and a Dutch statutory legal merger.

One ordinary share in the capital of the unified entity will be issued for each NV share and for each PLC share, Unilever said. Shareholders will receive shares in the capital of the unified parent that represent an equivalent economic interest, the company said.

The proposed simplification is subject to shareholder approval and regulatory consents, the company said.

Meetings will be held in Rotterdam on Oct. 25 for NV shareholders and in London on Oct. 26 for PLC shareholders, Unilever said.
