McCormick & Company and Unilever announced the proposed combination of Unilever’s Foods business with McCormick on March 31, 2026. You can read more about it here: https://www.unilever.com/news/press-and-media/press-releases/2026/unilever-announces-the-combination-of-unilever-foods-with-mccormick/. This market resolves to “Yes” if the merger between McCormick & Company and Unilever Foods is completed by the specified date, 05:59 CET/CEST the following day. Otherwise, it resolves to “No”. The merger will be considered completed once it has become legally effective and the two businesses have combined into a single entity, or are operating under one corporate group, as shown by official company announcements and/or regulatory filings. For example, a filing such as an SEC 8-K announcing the closing of the deal would qualify. Shareholder approval, receipt of regulatory approvals, regulatory filings that do not announce closing, or other interim steps toward completion will not by themselves be enough for a “Yes” resolution. If the merger agreement is officially terminated, or if the deal is officially abandoned according to company communications, this market resolves to “No”. Resolution will be based on official company communications and regulatory filings from McCormick & Company, Unilever, or any combined successor entity, with a consensus of reporting from major reputable news outlets used as needed.
