Unilever Plc has held talks with banks about additional financing for a potential sweetened offer for GlaxoSmithKline Plc's consumer products division, Bloomberg reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Unilever and GSK did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.

The news came a day after GSK said it had rejected a $68.37 billion offer from Unilever for the consumer goods arm. GSK said it had received three bids from Unilever, the latest on Dec. 20.
