BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Unilever PLC ("Unilever" or the "Company") (NYSE: UL) American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") between September 2, 2020 and July 21, 2021, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Unilever investors have until August 15, 2022 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors suffering losses on their Unilever investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.

On July 19, 2021, Unilever's subsidiary ice cream company, Ben & Jerry's announced that, upon the expiration of the current licensing agreement by which its products had been distributed in Israel for decades, it would end sales of its ice cream in "Occupied Palestinian Territory" but would purportedly continue to sell its products in Israel. On this news, the Company's ADR price fell $0.58 per ADR, or 1%.

Then, on July 22, 2021, CNBC reported that Texas and Florida were examining Ben & Jerry's actions in connection with their legislation against the boycott, divestment, and sanctions ("BDS") movement, a controversial movement whose objective is to coerce Israel into making concessions to the Palestinians. In a letter from the state of Florida's CFO Jimmy Patronis, who controls Florida's public pension funds, Florida would "be prohibited from investing in Ben & Jerry's or its parent company, Unilever." That also meant that Unilever could not enter or renew contracts with the state or any municipality in Florida.

On this news, Unilever's ADR price fell $3.08, or 5.4%, to close at $53.45 per ADR on July 22, 2021, thereby injuring investors further.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that, in July 2020, Ben & Jerry's board passed a resolution to end sales of its ice cream in "Occupied Palestinian Territory"; (2) the risks attendant to the Ben & Jerry's board's decision; (3) the foregoing risked adverse governmental actions for violations of laws, executive orders, or resolutions aimed at discouraging boycotts, divestment, and sanctions of Israel adopted by 35 U.S. states; and (4) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
