McCormick and Unilever announced a Reverse Morris Trust transaction on March 31, 2026, to combine Unilever Foods (excluding India) with McCormick at an implied $44.8 billion enterprise value, or 13.8x FY2025 EBITDA, with Unilever shareholders receiving 65% of the combined equity plus $15.7 billion in cash. The deal, expected to close by mid-2027 and create a ~$20 billion revenue flavor-focused entity, has advanced with July 2026 updates on operating structure, executive team, and a planned London secondary listing for the combined company. Trader sentiment reflects high implied probability of completion, tempered by antitrust scrutiny, a lengthy regulatory timeline, and earlier share-price volatility following the announcement. Key upcoming catalysts include SEC filings, shareholder approvals, and competition reviews that could determine final closing.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the merger between McCormick & Company and Unilever Foods is completed by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
The merger will be considered completed once it has become legally effective and the two companies are now a single entity or they exist under a single entity as one corporate group, as evidenced by official company announcements and/or regulatory filings (e.g. the filing of an 8-K form to the SEC that announces the closure of the deal). Shareholder approval, receipt of regulatory approvals, regulatory filings which do not announce the closure of the deal, or other intermediate steps towards the closing of a deal will not alone be sufficient for a ‘Yes’ resolution.
If the merger agreement is officially terminated or the deal has been abandoned according to official company communications, this market will resolve to “No”.
Resolution will be based on official company communications and regulatory filings from McCormick & Company, Unilever, or a combined successor entity, supplemented as needed by a consensus of reporting from major reputable news outlets.McCormick and Unilever announced a Reverse Morris Trust transaction on March 31, 2026, to combine Unilever Foods (excluding India) with McCormick at an implied $44.8 billion enterprise value, or 13.8x FY2025 EBITDA, with Unilever shareholders receiving 65% of the combined equity plus $15.7 billion in cash.
