McCormick and Unilever announced a definitive agreement on March 31, 2026, to combine McCormick with Unilever Foods (excluding India) in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction valued at approximately $44.8 billion enterprise value. Unilever shareholders would receive 65% equity in the combined entity plus $15.7 billion cash, implying 13.8x FY2025 EBITDA multiples for both businesses and creating a ~$20 billion revenue global flavor leader. The deal targets mid-2027 closing and requires McCormick shareholder approval, regulatory clearances, and customary conditions. July 2026 updates detailed the post-deal operating model, executive team, and plans for a secondary London listing, while highlighting antitrust and timeline risks that could influence completion probabilities.

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".

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.
