The companies in which Royal Dutch Shell plc directly and indirectly owns investments are
separate entities. In this announcement "Shell", "Shell Group" and "Royal Dutch Shell" are sometimes used for convenience where references are
made to Royal Dutch Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general. Likewise, the words "we", "us" and "our" are also used to refer to subsidiaries
in general or to those who work for them. These expressions are also used where no useful purpose is served by identifying the particular company or companies.
"Subsidiaries", "Shell subsidiaries" and "Shell companies" as used in this announcement refer to companies in which Shell either directly or indirectly has control,
by having either a majority of the voting rights or the right to exercise a controlling influence. The companies in which Shell has significant influence but not control are
referred to as "associated companies" or "associates" and companies in which Shell has joint control are referred to as "jointly controlled entities". In this announcement,
associates and jointly controlled entities are also referred to as "equity-accounted investments". The term "Shell interest" is used for convenience to indicate
the direct and/or indirect (for example, through our 23 per cent shareholding in Woodside Petroleum Ltd.) ownership interest held by Shell in a venture, partnership
or company, after exclusion of all third-party interest.

that could affect the future operations of Shell and the Shell Group and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward looking
