McCormick makes French’s mustard among its range of spices and seasoning brandsUS condiment giant McCormick has said it will seek a secondary share listing in London after agreeing to merge with Unilever’s food business in a £33.8 billion deal. The listing plan comes after McCormick agreed the deal to buy Unilever’s food arm, including brands such as Hellmann’s, Marmite and Colman’s, in March. Unilever will receive about 15.7 billion dollars (£11.9 billion) of cash upfront and equity in McCormick as part of the deal. Unilever and its shareholders will also retain a 65% stake in the Unilever Foods business, with Unilever shareholders owning 55.1% of the business and the Unilever itself retaining a 9.9% stake. McCormick said it plans to reorganise its operations into four divisions after the deal completes: Americas consumer, international consumer, global food service and global flavour.
