Dividend Reinvestment Programmes (“DRIP”)
The following organisations offer Dividend Reinvestment Plans (“DRIPs”) which enable the Company’s shareholders to elect to have their dividend payments used to purchase the Company’s shares:
- Equiniti Financial Services Limited (“EFSL”), for those holding shares (a) directly on the register as certificate holder or as CREST Member and (b) via the Shell Corporate Nominee;
- ABN-AMRO NV (“ABN”) for Financial Intermediaries holding shares via Euroclear Nederland;
- JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”) for holders of ADSs; and
- Other DRIPs may also be available from the intermediary through which investors hold their shares and ADSs.
These DRIP offerors provide their DRIPs fully on their account and not on behalf of the Company. Interested parties should contact the relevant DRIP offeror directly.

To be eligible to participate in the DRIPs for the next dividend, shareholders must make a valid dividend reinvestment election before the published date for the close of elections.
