QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Why don't you refer to the Annual Review and Summary Financial Statements as a document available to view on the Company's website?

As a result of recent changes in UK legislation, we have produced a new document this year which replaces the Annual Review and Summary Financial Statements. The new document is called the Strategic Report and it comprises an extract from the full Annual Report and Form 20-F plus certain supplementary information. The Annual Review and Summary Financial Statements is no longer produced.

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

We have previously consulted with shareholders on whether they wished in future to view shareholder communications 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 Strategic Report?

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 as follows:

Equiniti Aspect House Spencer Road Lancing 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.

Are there other publications available to view on the Company's website?

Yes, the Sustainability Report and the Investors' Handbook. Both of these publications are available in paper form via the website.

In future can I be advised of the availability of shareholder documentation by email?

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 email 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.
