Unilever Plc will list its ice cream unit primarily in Amsterdam, the consumer goods company said, with London and New York getting secondary listings when the maker of Ben & Jerry’s is spun off this year.

Ben & Jerry's maker Unilever has chosen Amsterdam over London and New York as the primary listing for its ice cream business, it said on Thursday after announcing full-year earnings which underwhelmed investors.

The move ends months of speculation over how the company would move ahead with its plans to separate the business.
