Illustration of potential remuneration outcomes

The charts on this page represent estimates under four performance scenarios (“Minimum”, “On-target”, “Maximum” and “Maximum, assuming a 50% share price appreciation between award and vest”) of the potential remuneration outcomes for each Executive Director resulting from the application of 2020 base salaries to awards made in accordance with the proposed Policy. The majority of Executive Directors’ remuneration is delivered through variable pay elements, which are conditional on the achievement of stretching targets.

The REMCO will review the formulaic Single Figure outcome relative to the quality of performance outcomes and adjust these, taking into account Shell’s performance, shareholder experience, the operation of the remuneration structures and any other relevant factors, to ensure that the highest variable pay outcomes are only achieved in years with the highest quality performance.

The scenario charts are based on future Policy award levels and are combined with projected single total figures of remuneration. The pay scenarios are forward-looking and only serve to illustrate the future Policy. For simplicity, the minimum, on-target and maximum scenarios assume no share price movement and exclude dividend accrual, for the portion of the bonus paid in shares and the LTIP, although dividend accrual during the performance and holding period applies. The scenarios are based on the current CEO (Ben van Beurden) and CFO (Jessica Uhl) roles.
