Good point, I knew it had some Dutch origins so I had to look it up:

Unilever was founded on 2 September 1929, by the merger of the British soapmaker Lever Brothers and the Dutch margarine producer Margarine Unie

I think the OTC stock is the one traded on the Dutch exchange which is why I thought it was Dutch.

I guess it can be considered a UK company now but it's both a dutch and British company in terms of roots and origin. It's still considered both globally even though it's based on London. If I move to Europe in 2020 I'm not European. 😉
