Reporting for all
I am pleased to invite you to the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of Shell plc (the "Company") which will be a hybrid meeting, held online via the Lumi electronic meeting platform, and at ExCel London, 1 Western Gateway, Royal Victoria Dock, London, E16 1XL, United Kingdom on Tuesday May 23, 2023 at 10:00 (UK time), 11:00 (Dutch time).
The hybrid AGM provides three ways in which shareholders can follow the proceedings: (i) attending and participating in person; (ii) attending and participating in the webcast by registering through an electronic platform ("virtually attending"); or
(iii) simply watching the webcast. Details on how to do each of these options are provided within the Notice of Annual General Meeting, which can be . www.shell.com/agm viewed or downloaded at The Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022 can also be downloaded from our website
We strongly encourage you to register in the "Keep up to date with Shell" section of our website to receive AGM www.shell.com/investor at information including any changes to the AGM format. As in previous years, we strongly encourage our shareholders to submit their proxy voting instructions in advance of the meeting.
The question and answer session during the AGM will allow both shareholders attending physically and virtually an opportunity to pose questions to the Board on the business set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
In recent years we have sadly seen some attendees at the meeting whose methods of engagement were
disruptive and at times unsafe. Actions of this kind will merely serve to limit the Board's physical engagement and dialogue at the meeting as the Board will always prioritise the safety of those in attendance.
