The transaction is due to complete on Nov. 29.

Unilever NV's Amsterdam-listed shares will cease trading after Friday Nov. 27 and shares in the new combined public company will begin trading in London on Monday Nov. 30.

The consumer goods giant is pressing ahead with the plan despite a proposal from a Dutch opposition party that could saddle the company with an 11 billion euro ($12.79 billion)retroactive "exit tax" if passed into law.

Unilever and the Netherlands' Council of State, which advises parliament on the legality of bills, have said the proposed tax would be illegal.
