QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Why haven't I received a paper copy of the Annual Report or Annual Review?

We have previously consulted with shareholders on whether they wished in future to view shareholder communications, such as the Annual Report or Annual Review, via the Company's website or be sent paper copies in the post. We have therefore only sent paper copies to shareholders who responded to our letter and specifically requested to receive paper copies of shareholder communications.

Can I still receive a paper copy of the Annual Report or Annual Review?

Yes. If you would like to receive free of charge a paper copy of the shareholder documents referred to overleaf for this year and/or future years, please contact our

Registrar at the address or on the telephone numbers below:

EQUINITI

Aspect House Spencer Road Lancina West Sussex BN99 6DA United Kingdom 0800 169 1679 (UK) or +44 (0) 121 415 7073

Before contacting the Registrar, please have your Shareholder Reference Number available. This can be found on the enclosed Proxy Form or Voting Instruction Form.

In future can I be advised of the availability of shareholder documentation by e-mail? Yes. Please visit www.shareview.co.uk/

clients/shell and register your details

online. If you require further information, please contact our Registrar at the address or on the telephone numbers given above.

Are there any advantages of being advised of the availability of shareholder documentation by e-mail rather than by post?

Yes. There are environmental benefits from using less paper, cost benefits for the Company from reduced printing and postal delivery and you will receive shareholder communications faster. Also by registering your details with www.shareview.co. uk/clients/shell, you may view your shareholding and dividend information online.

Can I change my mind about how I receive shareholder documents?

Yes, you may change your mind at any time by contacting our Registrar. Their address and telephone numbers are given above.
