Unilever has confirmed that Alberto Culver Company shareholders have voted in favour of the proposed $3.7 billion Unilever acquisition.
Separately, it has received a second request for information from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) in the regulatory review process. Unilever will continue to work cooperatively with the DOJ in connection with its review. The transaction remains subject to regulatory reviews in other countries and is expected to be completed in due course.
The proposed acquisition includes brands such as TRESemmé, Alberto VO5, Nexxus, St. Ives and Simple. These will complement Unilever’s existing portfolio of iconic brands such as Dove, Clear and Sunsilk in hair care and Pond’s and Vaseline in skin care.
