Scream for ice cream – Unilever and the case for a near-EUR 20bn asset sale

In this week's episode we are talking about we’re talking about ice cream M&A. Mergermarket analysed the potential for Unilever to divest its ice creams business in August last year (2023) and Unilever has now confirmed it will do so. This is the largest transaction the year announced in Europe so far at a potential value of up to EUR 20bn and showcases the power of Mergermarket’s journalism and analytical capabilities. Joining Julie-Anna Needham is William Cain who is Head of Analytics EMEA for Mergermarket and Christel Thunell who is a Senior Reporter for Mergermarket.
