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.

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.
