Exhibit 99



      UNILEVER AGREES SETTLEMENT

Rotterdam,  8 November 2006 - Unilever N.V. today announced that it has agreed a
settlement  with the main parties in the legal  dispute  over its 1999  Unilever
N.V.  Preference Shares.  These parties,  with whom constructive talks have been
held, include the Dutch Shareholders Association, VEB, and several institutional
shareholders.

Unilever  N.V.  will  pay an  amount  of  EUR1.38  (plus  interest  of  EUR0.16)
compensation  per  Preference  Share held at the beginning of 24 March 2004, the
day on which  Unilever N.V.  announced  its intention to convert the  Preference
Shares into N.V. Ordinary Shares. Unilever N.V. also agreed to reimburse the VEB
and the other parties who initiated the Enterprise  Chamber  procedure for costs
and expenses.


The agreement is subject to the requirement that all Preference Shareholders who
requested the  Enterprise  Chamber of the Amsterdam  Court of Appeal to order an
inquiry join in the agreement. It also includes a term that the signatories will
no longer take legal action against Unilever.


The offer will be extended to all those other former Preference Shareholders who
held Preference Shares at the beginning of 24 March 2004.


Payment is expected to be made as from 1 February 2007.


The settlement follows publication on 8 September 2006 of the report of the
investigators appointed by the Enterprise Chamber.  The criticisms made in the
report related to communications but did not extend to Unilever's decision to
convert the Preference Shares into Ordinary Shares in 2004 which was
acknowledged to be correct.


The Unilever Board set up a Board Committee composed of independent
non-executive Board members and chaired by Professor Wim Dik to deal with the
matter.  The Committee, which was supported by external legal advisers,
considered the matter carefully and recommended that the Unilever Board settle
the dispute with those who held the Preference Shares at the beginning of 24
March 2004.


The Board agreed with the recommendation, concluding, without any admission of
liability, that it is in the best interest of Unilever and its shareholders to
settle this issue rather than enter into potentially lengthy and  uncertain
litigation.


It cannot be excluded that, notwithstanding this settlement agreement, other
former Preference Shareholders may still take legal action.  If so, Unilever is
confident about the strength of its legal position vis-a-vis those parties.


Unilever previously announced a provision of EUR300 million for possible
compensation along with its Q3 results.


This announcement today does not yet constitute an offer to the eligible former
Preference Shareholders.  The offer, including further details such as
information on the duration of the offer and other conditions, will be made
public in the short term.
