On March 31, 2026, McCormick signed definitive agreements with Unilever under which Unilever's foods business would be separated and combined with McCormick through two mergers. After the mergers, McCormick shareholders would own approximately 35.0% of the combined company's shares, which dilutes their current stake, and the McCormick board would expand to twelve members, including four Unilever designees. Completion depends on McCormick shareholder approval, an effective Form S-4 registration statement, and antitrust and other regulatory clearances.
Agreements dated March 31, 2026 cover the Merger Agreement, a Separation and Distribution Agreement, and an Employee Matters Agreement with Unilever and related entities.
Post-merger ownership: Unilever shareholders approximately 55.1%, McCormick shareholders approximately 35.0%, and DutchCo approximately 9.9%, unless Unilever elects a structure giving Unilever shareholders about 65%.
Closing requires McCormick shareholder approval of the share issuance and charter amendments, an effective Form S-4, and expiry of the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period.
The McCormick board would be set at twelve members: eight current directors and four designated by Unilever.

The same day, the company adopted a Treasury Strategy focused on buying and holding Bitcoin using a covered-call yield approach, which it projects will generate cash flow in the first year; the company says it cannot yet estimate the total costs of the exit, so shareholders face unquantified charges alongside the strategic shift.
