|05 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | ABOUT THIS REPORT



ABOUT THIS REPORT The Royal Dutch Shell plc Annual Report and Form 20-F (this Report) serves as the Annual Report and Accounts in accordance with UK
requirements and as the Annual Report on Form 20-F as filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2013, for Royal Dutch Shell plc (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as Shell). This Report presents the
Consolidated Financial Statements of Shell (pages 101-139), the Parent Company Financial Statements of Shell (pages 162-170) and the Financial Statements of the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust (pages 175-178). Cross references to Form 20-F are set out on pages 2-3 of this Report. In this Report Shell is sometimes used for convenience
where references are made to the Company 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 and Shell subsidiaries as used in this Report refer to companies over which the Company, either directly or
indirectly, has control through exposure or rights to their variable returns and the ability to affect those returns through its power over the companies. The Consolidated Financial Statements consolidate the financial statements of the Company and
all subsidiaries. Companies over which Shell has joint control are generally referred to as joint ventures and companies over which Shell has significant influence but neither control nor joint control are referred to as
associates. The term Shell interest is used for convenience to indicate the direct and/or indirect ownership interest held by Shell in a venture, partnership or company, after exclusion of all third-party interests. Except as otherwise specified, the figures shown in the tables in this Report are in respect of subsidiaries only, without deduction of any non-controlling interest. However, the term Shell share is used for convenience to refer to the volumes of hydrocarbons that are produced, processed or sold through subsidiaries, joint ventures and
associates. All of a subsidiarys share of production, processing or sales volumes are included in the Shell share, even if Shell owns less than 100% of the subsidiary. In the case of joint ventures and associates, however, Shell-share figures
are limited only to Shells entitlement. In all cases, royalty payments in kind are deducted from the Shell share. The financial statements contained in this
Report have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 and with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. As applied to the financial statements, there are no material
differences from IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB); therefore, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. IFRS as defined above includes IFRIC. Except as otherwise noted, the figures shown in this Report are stated in US dollars. As used herein all references to dollars or $ are to the US
currency. This Report contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning the
financial condition, results of operations and businesses of Shell. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be


deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on managements current expectations and assumptions and involve
known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning
the potential exposure of Shell to market risks and statements expressing managements expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases
such as anticipate, believe, could, estimate, expect, goals, intend, may, objectives, outlook, plan,
probably, project, risks, schedule, seek, should, target, will and similar terms and phrases. There are a number of factors that could affect the future
operations of Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this Report, including (without limitation): (a) price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas;
(b) changes in demand for Shells products; (c) currency fluctuations; (d) drilling and production results; (e) reserves estimates; (f) loss of market share and industry competition; (g) environmental and physical
risks; (h) risks associated with the identification of suitable potential acquisition properties and targets, and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions; (i) the risk of doing business in developing countries and
countries subject to international sanctions; (j) legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments including regulatory measures addressing climate change; (k) economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions;
(l) political risks, including the risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities, delays or advancements in the approval of projects and delays in the reimbursement for shared costs; and
(m) changes in trading conditions. Also see Risk factors for additional risks and further discussion. All forward-looking statements contained in this Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements
contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Report. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any

STRATEGIC REPORT



CHAIRMANS MESSAGE Shell has the ability to take a long-term view in an industry where this is vital, and in a world where energy demand will continue to
rise. In 2013, we maintained our strategy amid economic uncertainty. However, our results were disappointing, and we must improve our financial returns and operational effectiveness. The global economic recovery remains fragile, especially in the eurozone. The global growth rate in 2013 was 3.0%, little changed from 3.1% in 2012, according to
estimates by the International Monetary Fund. The Brent crude oil price averaged $109 per barrel in 2013, which was similar to the previous year. Meanwhile, we
faced a difficult operating environment. But there was also room for sharpening Shells financial and operational performance, and we have made this a major priority for the year ahead. We will also put particular emphasis on improving our
capital discipline and the process through which our capital allocation decisions are taken, implemented and followed up. Nevertheless, Shells underlying
strategy is robust. With a stronger emphasis on improving financial returns and cash flow in 2014 and beyond, it aims to deliver competitive returns including a growing dividend. Our investment programme is underpinned by a sound balance sheet, which is strong enough to withstand volatile energy prices and revenues. It is also flexible enough to
underpin billions of dollars of investment in new energy sources. Of course, we must balance this investment with a prudent financial framework, generating the cash to invest in new projects and providing shareholders with an attractive return. With global energy demand expected to grow strongly in the decades ahead, I am confident that this strategy  of long-term investment in new supplies, and a sharper
focus on shareholder returns  is the right one. Global primary energy demand is set to grow by between 30% and 40% by 2035, according to projections by the
International Energy Agency published in its World Energy Outlook 2013. Large numbers of people in emerging economies are expected to benefit from higher incomes, and the worlds population will continue to expand, increasing total energy
consumption. TAKING A LONG-TERM VIEW That is why Shell has maintained a
long-term approach. To help meet the worlds rising energy needs, we have continued to invest in new supplies, in technology and in our people.


When it comes to developing new energy supplies, integrated gas remains a core priority. In particular, global demand for
liquefied natural gas (LNG) is set for strong growth, as more governments around the world recognise the environmental advantages of gas-fired power. When used to replace coal, gas can sharply reduce emissions of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides
and particulates, as well as CO2. This can make a real difference, especially in Asias rapidly expanding cities. TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION At Shell, we have also continued to develop our
technological capabilities. In an increasingly tough industry landscape, this is critical to our competitiveness. In 2013, we saw many positive developments. In December, together with our partners, including operator Petrobras, we signed a
production-sharing contract for the giant Libra oil field off the coast of Brazil. It will be a great opportunity for us to showcase our deep-water expertise in one of the biggest deep-water fields in the world. Work is under way in South Koreas shipyards to build a floating LNG (FLNG) facility that uses Shells technology. It will allow us to tap the Prelude gas
field more than 200 kilometres off Australias north-west coast and to process, store and transfer LNG at sea. When built, it will be the worlds largest offshore structure, with a hull measuring nearly half a kilometre in length. The
technology will allow us to open up gas fields previously seen as too remote or small. INVESTING IN OUR PEOPLE Shells projects, of course, are only as effective as the people who build and maintain them. It was another year in which we invested heavily in recruiting and
training the right people. For example, we hired around 1,200 graduates in 2013. We also continued to equip our employees with the technical and operational skills to build and manage difficult projects. For instance, we opened a centre in Sarawak,
Malaysia, that aims to train well operators to the highest operational and safety standards. The hub is the first of its kind in Asia, and its training programmes are open to professionals from across the region and from other companies. The centre
will help Malaysia and other Asian countries tap their oil and gas resources safely, including those trapped in deep waters. These are just some examples of how,
despite an uncertain and challenging environment, continuing to invest in the future will bring rewards for Shell, our customers and partners, and, of course, our investors. Jorma Ollila Chairman

|07 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS REVIEW



CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS REVIEW For Shell, 2013 proved to be a challenging year, in part due to a complex and difficult operating environment. We faced a deteriorating security situation in Nigeria. In Downstream, refining margins in Asia and Europe were depressed by an oversupply of global refining capacity
and lower demand. There were also areas where we as a company could have been more competitive, including our day-to-day operational performance and our capital
efficiency. Some of our businesses demonstrated outstanding operational and financial performance. The reality, however, is that several operated below their full potential in 2013. Our overall performance was frankly not what I expect from Shell. Our strategy remains robust, but 2014 will signal a change of emphasis. We will concentrate on improving returns and cash flow performance, with a focus on three
main priorities:  n

improving our financial performance, including restructuring our Oil Products and North American shale oil and gas businesses; n

enhancing our capital efficiency; and n

maintaining our strong track record of delivering new projects, while integrating our recent acquisitions. 2013
MILESTONES Let me first comment on some of the milestones of 2013. Our overall safety performance improved as we maintained a strict focus on running and maintaining
our operations safely. The Shell Sustainability Report details our safety and environmental performance. For 2013, our earnings on a current cost of supplies basis
attributable to shareholders were $17 billion, compared with $27 billion in 2012. Net cash flow from operating activities also fell, to $40 billion from $46 billion in 2012. However, our combined net cash flow from operating activities in 2012
and 2013 marked a 35% increase compared with 2010 and 2011, as new large-scale projects such as Pearl GTL made a significant contribution. Capital investment totalled $46 billion, including $8 billion of acquisitions. We produced 3.2 million barrels of oil equivalent a day (boe/d) in 2013. Sales of liquefied natural gas (LNG) totalled 19.6 million tonnes. Both were lower than the
previous year, mainly due to the difficult operating environment in Nigeria. Underlining our commitment to shareholder returns, in 2013 we distributed more than $11
billion to shareholders in dividends  including those taken as shares under our Scrip Dividend Programme  and spent $5 billion on share repurchases. This compares with $11 billion of dividends and $1 billion of share repurchases in
2012. IMPROVING OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND CAPITAL EFFICIENCY Looking ahead,
our first goal is to improve our competitive financial performance, increasing the value we obtain from the capital entrusted to us by our shareholders. In the year
to come, we will reduce our capital spending. In 2014, we expect total capital spending of around $37 billion, a reduction of $9 billion compared with 2013, as we moderate our growth ambitions and strive to improve our free cash flow and
returns.


We have also embarked on a fresh programme of asset sales, refocusing our capital and technology on the areas that will
deliver sustained profits and cash flow. In 2014 and 2015, our total divestments across the company could total some $15 billion. In 2013, for example, we announced
our intention to divest several positions in tight-gas and liquids-rich shale in North America. And in early 2014, we agreed to sell our stake in an Australian gas project, Wheatstone LNG, while staying focused on our bigger investments in the
country, which is emerging as a major supplier of energy to the world. In our Downstream business, we are also streamlining our portfolio. For example, in 2013 we
agreed to sell our stake in a refining business in the Czech Republic. In February 2014, we agreed to sell the majority of our downstream activities in Italy and Australia, subject to the deal completing. We are also in the process of divesting a
refinery in Germany. Throughout 2014, we will continue to make tough decisions about our portfolio. Better operational performance is another critical step to
shareholder returns. I want to see continuous improvement in our execution, including the day-to-day work of delivering our projects consistently. THE NEXT PHASE
OF GROWTH: PROJECT DELIVERY Despite disappointing financial results, 2013 was also a year in which we laid firm foundations for the future, bringing projects to
fruition that will underpin our ability to deliver increasing cash flow through economic cycles and competitive returns including a growing dividend. In 2014, we
will strive to build on our track record of delivering new projects. And we will continue to use a clear set of strategic themes to guide decisions about investment and technology. To recap, we have our upstream and downstream engines. These are mature businesses that generate the bulk of our cash flow. Then there are our growth
priorities, integrated gas and deep water. These play to our strengths in technology, and will afford significant opportunities in the years ahead. Finally, we have opportunities for the longer-term, including gas and oil in tight rock and shale,
heavy oil, and in the Arctic, Iraq, Kazakhstan, and Nigeria. In 2013, we made strong progress against many of these strategic priorities. In total, we took nine
final investment decisions on large projects across all areas of our business during the year. We also delivered several important new projects. In Downstream, for
example, we took further steps to meet growing long-term demand for chemical and lubricant products in Asias growth markets. In China, we opened a grease manufacturing plant, while in Singapore we decided to expand our Jurong Island
petrochemicals plant. Our portfolio of deep-water oil and gas projects went from strength to strength. In Brazil, we bid successfully with partners for the Libra
field, and started production at the second phase of Parque das Conchas (BC-10), which Shell operates and which is one of the worlds most challenging deep-water projects. We also took the final investment decision to develop a third phase at
Parque das Conchas (BC-10). We had exploration success in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, with our Vicksburg exploratory well making a notable oil discovery.
Also in the Gulf of Mexico, we worked towards the start of production in early 2014 at our new Mars B development. Peak production is expected to be 100,000 boe/d. It will extend the life of the Mars field, first discovered by Shell in
1989, to around 2050.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS REVIEWCONTINUED We expect to make further advances in our deep-water portfolio. For example, with our partners, we expect to begin production via a
dedicated floating production system from the Gumusut-Kakap field offshore Malaysia in 2014. With demand for LNG set for rapid growth, we moved to strengthen our
leadership position within the industry. In January 2014, we completed the purchase from Repsol of new LNG positions in the Atlantic and Pacific regions, increasing Shells worldwide equity LNG capacity by around one-fifth. There were also significant developments in Iraq, including at the Majnoon field, one of the worlds largest oil fields. With our partners, we reached commercial
production. We also began operations at the Basrah Gas Company, the biggest natural gas project in the countrys history, as well as the worlds largest flare-reduction project. It captures gas that is being flared from three oil fields in
southern Iraq.


In 2014, we will make hard decisions about our next phase of projects. Capital discipline and potential returns will be
critical factors in deciding which to take forward to development. In Alaska, we decided to suspend our exploration programme for 2014 following a court ruling
against a government department. The ruling raised obstacles to offshore drilling there. From 2014, tight-gas and liquids-rich shale will have a different role in
our strategy. We now see them as an opportunity for the longer term rather than the immediate future. We are reducing the number of these opportunities in our North American portfolio as we strive to improve our financial performance. We are responding to our disappointing results for 2013 with a renewed focus on competitive financial performance and capital efficiency, while maintaining our strong
record of project delivery. I am satisfied our strategy is sound and we will continue to invest in new projects. These will not only be the foundation of our future competitiveness, but also help to supply the worlds growing energy needs. Ben van Beurden Chief Executive Officer

BUSINESS OVERVIEW HISTORY From 1907 until 2005, Royal Dutch Petroleum
Company and The Shell Transport and Trading Company, p.l.c. were the two public parent companies of a group of companies known collectively as the Royal Dutch/Shell Group. Operating activities were conducted through the
subsidiaries of these parent companies. In 2005, Royal Dutch Shell plc became the single parent company of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and of The Shell Transport and Trading Company, p.l.c., now The Shell Transport and Trading Company
Limited. Royal Dutch Shell plc (the Company) is a public limited company registered in England and Wales and headquartered in The Hague, the Netherlands. ACTIVITIES Shell is one of the worlds largest independent oil and gas
companies in terms of market capitalisation, operating cash flow and oil and gas production. We aim for strong operational performance and productive investments in countries around the world including Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, China,
Denmark, Germany, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Qatar, Russia, the UK and the USA.


We are bringing new oil and gas supplies on-stream from major field developments. We are also investing in growing our
integrated gas activities. For example, in February 2013 we agreed to buy part of Repsol S.A.s liquefied natural gas (LNG) portfolio, including supply positions in Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago. This acquisition was completed in January 2014.
Our Downstream integrated gas activities include converting gas to high-value petrochemicals and liquid products such as fuels and lubricants. At the same time, we
are exploring for oil and gas from conventional, and from tight rock, shale and coal formations. Areas where we are exploring for conventional resources include offshore Australia and Brazil, and in the Gulf of Mexico. Our exploration for tight
oil or gas, which can require hydraulic fracturing, is taking place in countries including Australia, Canada, China and the USA. We also have a diverse portfolio of
refineries and chemical plants that enable us to capture value from the oil and natural gas that we produce. Furthermore, we are a leading biofuel producer and fuel retailer in Brazil, through our Raízen joint venture. We have a strong retail
position not only in the major industrialised countries, but also in the developing ones. The distinctive Shell pecten, (a trademark in use since the early part of the twentieth century), and trademarks in which the word Shell appears, support this
marketing effort throughout the world. A strong patent portfolio underlies the technology that we employ in our various businesses. In total, Shell currently has about 15,000 granted patents and pending patent applications.

BUSINESS OVERVIEWCONTINUED BUSINESSES Upstream International Upstream International manages the Upstream businesses outside the Americas. It explores for and recovers crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, transports oil
and gas, and operates the upstream and midstream infrastructure necessary to deliver oil and gas to market. Upstream International also manages Shells Upstream LNG and GTL businesses. It manages its operations primarily by line of business,
with this structure overlaying country organisations. This organisation is supported by activities such as Exploration and New Business Development. This organisational structure has been in place since January 1, 2013. Previously activities were
organised primarily by geographical location. Upstream Americas Upstream
Americas manages the Upstream businesses in North and South America. It explores for and recovers crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, transports oil and gas and operates the upstream and midstream infrastructure necessary to deliver oil
and gas to market. Upstream Americas also extracts bitumen from oil sands that is converted into synthetic crude oil. Additionally, it manages the US-based wind business. It manages its operations by line of
business, supported by activities such as Exploration and New Business Development. Downstream Downstream manages Shells refining and marketing activities for oil products and chemicals. These activities are organised into globally managed classes of
business. Refining includes manufacturing, supply and shipping of crude oil. Marketing sells a range of products including fuels, lubricants, bitumen and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for home, transport and industrial use. Chemicals produces and
markets petrochemicals for industrial customers, including the raw materials for plastics, coatings and detergents. Downstream also trades Shells flow of hydrocarbons and other energy-related products, supplies the Downstream businesses,
governs our marketing and trading of gas and power, and provides shipping services. Additionally, Downstream oversees Shells interests in alternative energy (including biofuels but excluding wind). Projects & Technology Projects & Technology manages the delivery
of Shells major projects and drives research and innovation to create technology solutions. It provides technical services and technology capability covering both Upstream and Downstream activities. It is also responsible for providing
functional leadership across Shell in the areas of safety and environment, and contracting and procurement. Since January 2013, it has also been responsible for all wells activities and CO2
management. SEGMENTAL REPORTING Upstream combines the operating segments
Upstream International and Upstream Americas, which have similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, types and classes of customers, and methods of distribution. Upstream and Downstream earnings include their
respective elements of Projects & Technology and of trading activities. Corporate represents the key support functions comprising holdings and treasury, headquarters, central functions and Shells self-insurance activities.

100.0 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Innovative technology
provides ways for Shell to stand apart from its competitors. It helps our current businesses perform, and it makes future businesses possible. For that reason we
have been spending more than any other international oil and gas company to research and develop innovative technology  more than $1 billion annually since 2007. In 2013, research and development (R&D) expenses were $1,318
million, compared with $1,307 million in 2012 and $1,123 million in 2011 [A]. Such sustained investment has enabled us to advance technologies that
help us access new resources and better meet the needs of our customers and partners. To name a few: seismic processing and visualisation software that reveal previously unnoticed geological details; drilling-rig equipment that delivers wells more
quickly and more safely; oil-recovery methods that increase production from fields; processes that refine crude oil and liquefy natural gas more efficiently; as well as fuel and lubricant formulations that perform better. In 2014, we will continue to focus strongly on technologies that support our various businesses and reduce the environmental footprint of our operations and products. [A] R&D expenses for 2012 and 2011 have been restated for the retrospective application of revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits, adopted with effect
from January 1, 2013.

|11 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | RISK FACTORS



RISK FACTORS The risks discussed below could have a material adverse effect separately, or in combination, on our operational performance, earnings,
cash flows and financial condition. Accordingly, investors should carefully consider these risks. We are exposed to fluctuating prices of crude oil, natural gas,
oil products and chemicals. Prices of crude oil, natural gas, oil products and chemicals are affected by supply and demand, both globally and regionally.
Moreover, prices for oil and gas can move independently from each other. Factors that influence supply and demand include operational issues, natural disasters, weather, political instability, conflicts, economic conditions and actions by major
oil-producing countries. Price fluctuations could have a material effect. For example, in a low oil and gas price environment, Shell would generate less revenue from its Upstream production, and as a result certain long-term projects might become
less profitable, or even incur losses. Additionally, low oil and gas prices could result in the debooking of proved oil or gas reserves, if they become uneconomic in this type of environment. Prolonged periods of low oil and gas prices, or rising
costs, could also result in projects being delayed or cancelled, as well as in the impairment of certain assets. In a high oil and gas price environment, we could experience sharp increases in cost, and under some production-sharing contracts our
entitlement to proved reserves would be reduced. Higher prices could also reduce demand for our products which might result in lower profitability, particularly in our Downstream business. We have commenced a review of our global refining portfolio, in the context of the growth of light crude oil supply in North America, and excess industry refining
capacity worldwide. These factors are affecting the dynamics of the global refining industry environment. The portfolio review could potentially lead to asset sales, closures and/or impairments. Our ability to achieve strategic objectives depends on how we react to competitive forces. We face competition in each of our businesses. While we seek to differentiate our products, many of them are competing in
commodity-type markets. If we do not manage our expenses adequately, our cost efficiency could deteriorate and our unit costs may increase. This in turn could erode our competitive position. Increasingly, we
compete with government-run oil and gas companies, particularly in seeking access to oil and gas resources. Today, these government-run companies control vastly greater quantities of oil and gas resources than the major, publicly held oil and gas
companies. Government-run entities have access to significant resources and may be motivated by political or other factors in their business decisions, which may harm our competitive position or hinder our access to desirable projects. As our business model involves treasury and trading risks, we are affected by the global macroeconomic environment as well as financial and commodity market
conditions. Shell subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are subject to differing economic and financial market conditions throughout the world. Political
or economic instability affects such markets. Shell uses debt


instruments such as bonds and commercial paper to raise significant amounts of capital. Should our access to debt markets become more difficult, the potential impact on our liquidity could have
an adverse effect on our operations. Commodity trading is an important component of our supply and distribution function. Treasury and trading risks include, among others, exposure to movements in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity
prices, counterparty default and various operational risks. As a global company doing business in more than 70 countries, we are exposed to changes in currency values and exchange controls. While we undertake some currency hedging, we do not do
so for all of our activities. See Notes 6 and 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Shell has significant financial exposure to the euro and could be materially affected by a significant change in its value or any structural
changes to the European Union (EU) or the European Economic and Monetary Union affecting the euro. While we do not have significant direct exposure to sovereign debt, it is possible that our partners and customers may have exposure which could
impair their ability to meet their obligations to us. Therefore, a sovereign debt downgrade or default could have a material adverse effect on Shell. Our future
hydrocarbon production depends on the delivery of large and complex projects, as well as on our ability to replace proved oil and gas reserves. We face numerous
challenges in developing capital projects, especially large ones. Challenges include uncertain geology, frontier conditions, the existence and availability of necessary technology and engineering resources, availability of skilled labour, project
delays, expiration of licences and potential cost overruns, as well as technical, fiscal, regulatory, political and other conditions. These challenges are particularly relevant in certain developing and emerging market countries, such as Iraq and
Kazakhstan, and in frontier areas, such as the Arctic. Such potential obstacles may impair our delivery of these projects, as well as our ability to fulfil related contractual commitments. Future oil and gas production will depend on our access to
new proved reserves through exploration, negotiations with governments and other owners of proved reserves and acquisitions, as well as developing and applying new technologies and recovery processes to existing fields and mines. Failure to replace
proved reserves could result in lower future production, cash flow and earnings. In recent years, we have invested significant amounts in our tight-gas and
liquids-rich shale portfolio. There is still a significant amount of drilling that must be conducted in certain properties. If future well results do not meet our expectations, there could be additional asset sales and/or impairments. Additionally,
management will continue to review the strategic fit of our tight-gas and liquids-rich shale assets. Depending on the outcome of that review and future capital allocation to these properties, additional asset sales and/or impairments could also
occur.  OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION AVAILABLE FOR SALE

An erosion of our business reputation would have a negative impact on our brand, our ability to secure new resources and our licence to operate. Shell is one of the worlds leading energy brands, and its brand and reputation are important assets. The Shell General Business Principles govern how Shell and its
individual companies conduct their affairs, and the Code of Conduct instructs employees and contractors on how to behave in line with the principles. It is a challenge for us to ensure that all employees and contractors, well above 100,000 in total,
comply with the principles. Failure  real or perceived  to follow these principles, or other real or perceived failures of governance or regulatory compliance, could harm our reputation. This could impact our licence to operate, damage
our brand, harm our ability to secure new resources and limit our ability to access the capital market. Our future performance depends on the successful
development and deployment of new technologies. Technology and innovation are essential to Shell. If we do not develop the right technology, do not have access
to it or do not deploy it effectively, the delivery of our strategy and our licence to operate may be adversely affected. We operate in environments where the most advanced technologies are needed. While these technologies are regarded as safe for
the environment with todays knowledge, there is always the possibility of unknown or unforeseeable environmental impacts that could harm our reputation, licence to operate or expose us to litigation or sanctions. Rising climate change concerns could lead to additional regulatory measures that may result in project delays and higher costs. In the future, in order to help meet the worlds energy demand, we expect our production to rise and more of our production to come from higher energy-intensive
sources than at present. Therefore, it is expected that both the CO2 intensity of our production, as well as our absolute Upstream CO2
emissions, will increase as our business grows. Examples of such developments are our in-situ Peace River project and our oil sands activities in Canada. Additionally, as production from Iraq increases, we expect that CO2 emissions from flaring will rise. We are working with our partners to find ways to capture the gas that is flared. Over time, we expect that a growing share of our CO2 emissions will be subject to regulation and result in increasing our costs. Furthermore, continued attention to climate change, including activities by non-governmental and political
organisations, is likely to lead to additional regulations designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If we are unable to find economically viable, as well as publicly acceptable, solutions that reduce our CO2 emissions for new and existing projects or products, we may experience additional costs, delayed projects, reduced production and reduced demand for hydrocarbons.


The nature of our operations exposes us to a wide range of health, safety, security and environment risks. The health, safety, security and environment (HSSE) risks to which we are potentially exposed cover a wide spectrum, given the geographic range, operational diversity and
technical complexity of Shells daily operations. We have operations, including oil and gas production, transport and shipping of hydrocarbons, and refining, in difficult geographies or climate zones, as well as environmentally sensitive
regions, such as the Arctic or maritime environments, especially in deep water. These and other operations expose us to the risk, among others, of major process safety incidents, effects of natural disasters, earth tremors, social unrest, personal
health and safety lapses, and crime. If a major HSSE risk materialises, such as an explosion or hydrocarbon spill, this could result in injuries, loss of life, environmental harm, disruption to business activities and, depending on their cause and
severity, material damage to our reputation and eventually loss of licence to operate. In certain circumstances, liability could be imposed without regard to Shells fault in the matter. Requirements governing HSSE matters often change and are
likely to become more stringent over time. The operator could be asked to adjust its future production plan, as we have seen in the Netherlands, impacting production and costs. We could incur significant additional costs in the future complying with
such requirements or as a result of violations of, or liabilities under, HSSE laws and regulations, such as fines, penalties, clean-up costs and third-party claims. Shell mainly self-insures its risk exposures. Shell insurance subsidiaries
provide insurance coverage to Shell entities, generally up to $1.15 billion per event and usually limited to Shells percentage interest in the relevant entity. The type and extent of the coverage provided is equal to that which is
otherwise commercially available in the third-party insurance market. While from time to time the insurance subsidiaries may seek reinsurance for some of their risk exposures, such reinsurance would not provide any material coverage in the event of
an incident like BP Deepwater Horizon. Similarly, in the event of a material environmental incident, there would be no material proceeds available from third-party insurance companies to meet Shells obligations. A further erosion of the business and operating environment in Nigeria would adversely impact Shell. In our Nigerian operations we face various risks and adverse conditions, some of which have deteriorated during the year. These risks include: security issues surrounding
the safety of our people, host communities, and operations; sabotage and theft; our ability to enforce existing contractual rights; limited infrastructure; and potential legislation that could increase our taxes or costs of operation. The Nigerian
government is contemplating new legislation to govern the petroleum industry which, if passed into law, would likely have a significant adverse impact on Shells existing and future activities in that country. We operate in more than 70 countries that have differing degrees of political, legal and fiscal stability. This exposes us to a wide range of political developments
that could result in changes to laws and regulations. In addition, Shell and its joint ventures and associates face the risk of litigation and disputes worldwide. Developments in politics, laws and regulations can  and do  affect our operations. Potential developments include: forced divestment of assets; expropriation
of property; cancellation or forced renegotiation of contract rights; additional taxes including windfall taxes, restrictions on deductions and retroactive tax claims; import and export restrictions; foreign exchange controls; and changing
environmental regulations and disclosure requirements. In our Upstream activities these developments can and do affect land tenure, re-writing of leases, entitlement to produced hydrocarbons, production rates, royalties and pricing. Parts of our
Downstream activities are subject to price controls

in some countries. From time to time, cultural and political factors play a role in unprecedented and unanticipated judicial outcomes that could adversely affect Shell. If we do not comply with
policies and regulations, this may result in regulatory investigations, litigation and ultimately sanctions. Certain governments, states and regulatory bodies have, in the opinion of Shell, exceeded their constitutional authority by attempting
unilaterally to amend or cancel existing agreements or arrangements; by failing to honour existing contractual commitments; and by seeking to adjudicate disputes between private litigants. EU regulators have adopted regulations that, subject to UK
implementation, require disclosure of information on payments to governments that we believe is immaterial to investors, but that could compromise confidential commercial arrangements and create conflicting legal requirements. The United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had adopted similar requirements, but these requirements were vacated by the US Federal District Court. Accordingly, the SEC must adopt new rules. Additional regulations targeted at the financial sector could
have adverse consequences for our trading, treasury and pension operations. Our operations expose us to social instability, civil unrest, terrorism, acts of war,
piracy and government sanctions that could have an adverse impact on our business. As seen in recent years in Nigeria, north Africa and the Middle East, social
and civil unrest, both within the countries in which we operate and elsewhere, can  and does  affect Shell. Potential developments that could impact our business include international sanctions, conflicts including war, acts of political
or economic terrorism and acts of piracy on the high seas, as well as civil unrest, including disruptions by non-governmental and political organisations, and local security concerns that threaten the safe operation of our facilities and transport
of our products. For example, EU sanctions have prohibited us from producing oil and gas in Syria, and the USA and the EU have imposed sanctions relating to transactions involving Iran and Sudan, among other countries. If such risks materialise,
they could result in injuries and disruption to business activities. We rely heavily on information technology systems for our operations. The operation of many of our business processes depends on the availability of information technology (IT) systems. Our IT systems are increasingly concentrated in terms
of geography, number of systems, and key contractors supporting the delivery of IT services. Shell, like many other multinational companies, has been the target of attempts to gain unauthorised access through the internet to our IT systems,
including more sophisticated attempts often referred to as advanced persistent threats. Shell seeks to detect and investigate all such security incidents, aiming to prevent their recurrence. Disruption of critical IT services, or breaches of
information security, could have adverse consequences for Shell. We have substantial pension commitments, whose funding is subject to capital market risks. Liabilities associated with defined benefit plans can be significant, as can the cash funding of such plans; both depend on various assumptions. Volatility in
capital markets, and the resulting consequences for investment performance and interest rates, may result in significant changes to the funding level of future liabilities. In case of a shortfall, Shell might be required to make substantial cash
contributions, depending on the applicable local regulations. The estimation of proved oil and gas reserves involves subjective judgements based on available
information and the application of complex rules, so subsequent downward adjustments are possible. The estimation of proved oil and gas reserves involves
subjective judgements and determinations based on available geological,


technical, contractual and economic information. Estimates may change because of new information from production or drilling activities, or changes in economic factors, including changes in the
price of oil or gas and changes in the taxation or regulatory policies of host governments or other events. Estimates may also be altered by acquisitions and divestments, new discoveries, and extensions of existing fields and mines, as well as the
application of improved recovery techniques. Published proved oil and gas reserves estimates may also be subject to correction due to errors in the application of published rules and changes in guidance. Any downward adjustment would indicate lower
future production volumes. Many of our major projects and operations are conducted in joint arrangements or associates. This may reduce our degree of control, as
well as our ability to identify and manage risks. A significant share of our capital is invested in joint arrangements or associates. In cases where we are not
the operator we have limited influence over, and control of, the behaviour, performance and costs of operation of such joint arrangements or associates. Despite not having control, we could still be exposed to the risks associated with these
operations. For example, our partners or members of a joint arrangement or an associate (particularly local partners in developing countries) may not be able to meet their financial or other obligations to the projects, threatening the viability of
a given project. Violations of antitrust and competition law carry fines and expose us and/or our employees to criminal sanctions and civil suits. Antitrust and competition laws apply to Shell and its joint ventures and associates in the vast majority of countries in which we do business. Shell and its joint
ventures and associates have been fined for violations of antitrust and competition law. These include a number of fines by the European Commission Directorate-General for Competition (DG COMP). Due to the DG COMPs fining guidelines, any
future conviction of Shell and its joint ventures or associates for violation of EU competition law could result in significantly larger fines. Violation of antitrust laws is a criminal offence in many countries, and individuals can be either
imprisoned or fined. Furthermore, it is now common for persons or corporations allegedly injured by antitrust violations to sue for damages. Violations of
anti-bribery and corruption law carry fines and expose us and/or our employees to criminal sanctions and civil suits. In 2010, Shell agreed to a Deferred
Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which arose in connection with its use of the freight-forwarding firm Panalpina. In November 2013, the DPA was
successfully concluded. Shells ethics and compliance programme was enhanced during the DPA and remains in full force and effect. Any violations of the FCPA or other relevant anti-bribery and corruption legislation could have a material adverse
effect on the Company. Violations of data protection laws carry fines and expose us and/or our employees to criminal sanctions and civil suits. Data protection laws apply to Shell and its joint ventures and associates in the vast majority of countries in which we do business. Over 100 countries globally have data
protection laws and regulations. Additionally, impending EU Data Privacy Regulation proposes to increase penalties up to a maximum of 5% of global annual turnover for breach. Non-compliance with data protection laws could expose Shell to regulatory
investigations, which may result in fines and penalties. Shell also could be subject to litigation from persons or corporations allegedly affected by data protection violations. Violation of data protection laws is a criminal offence in some
countries, and individuals can be either imprisoned or fined.

RISK FACTORSCONTINUED The Companys Articles of Association determine the jurisdiction for shareholder disputes. This might limit shareholder remedies. Our Articles of Association generally require that all disputes between our shareholders in such capacity and the Company or our subsidiaries (or our Directors
or former Directors), or between the Company and our Directors or former Directors, be exclusively resolved by arbitration in The Hague, the Netherlands, under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. Our Articles of
Association also provide that, if this provision is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the dispute may only be brought to the courts of England and Wales. Accordingly, the ability of shareholders to obtain monetary or other
relief, including in respect of securities law claims, may be determined in accordance with these provisions. See the Corporate governance
report.

|15 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK



STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK STRATEGY Our strategy seeks to reinforce our position as a leader in the oil and gas
industry, while helping to meet global energy demand in a responsible way. We aim to grow our cash flow and deliver competitive returns through economic cycles, to finance a competitive dividend and fund investment for future growth. Safety and
environmental and social responsibility are at the heart of our activities. Intense competition exists for access to upstream resources and to new downstream
markets. But we believe that our technology, project delivery capability and operational excellence will remain key differentiators for our businesses. We expect about 85% of our capital investment in 2014 to be in our Upstream businesses. In Upstream we focus on exploration for new liquids and natural gas reserves, and on developing major new projects where our technology and know-how add value to the
resources holders. We focus on a series of strategic themes, each requiring distinctive technologies and risk management:  n

our upstream and downstream engines are strongly cash-generative, mature businesses, which will underpin our financial performance to at least the end of this decade. Here we only seek to make investments in
selective growth positions, and we apply Shells distinctive technology and operating performance to extend the productive lives of our assets and to enhance their profitability; n

our growth priorities follow two strategic themes: integrated gas and deep water. These will provide our medium-term growth, and we expect them to become core engines in the future. Here, we use the advantages of
Shells technological know-how and global scale to unlock highly competitive resources positions; and n

our longer-term strategic themes are resource plays such as shale oil and gas as well as future opportunities including the Arctic, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, and heavy oil, where we believe large reserves positions
could potentially become available, with the pace of development driven by market and local operating conditions, as well as the regulatory environment. Meeting the growing demand for energy worldwide in ways that minimise environmental and social impact is a major challenge for the global energy industry. We aim to
improve energy efficiency in our own operations, support customers in managing their energy demands, and continue to research and develop technologies that increase efficiency and reduce emissions in liquids and natural gas production.


Our commitment to technology and innovation continues to be at the core of our strategy. As energy projects become more
complex and more technically demanding, we believe our engineering expertise will be a deciding factor in the growth of our businesses. Our key strengths include the development and application of technology, the financial and project-management
skills that allow us to deliver large field development projects, and the management of integrated value chains. We aim to leverage our diverse and global business
portfolio and customer-focused businesses built around the strength of the Shell brand. OUTLOOK We continuously seek to improve our operating performance, with an emphasis on health, safety and environment, asset performance and operating costs. For 2014, we have
set out three key priorities: improving our financial performance, enhancing our capital efficiency, including financial discipline when evaluating investment opportunities, and continuing our focus on project delivery. In 2014, we expect capital investment of around $37 billion, a reduction of $9 billion compared with 2013, as we moderate our growth ambitions and strive to improve our
free cash flow and returns. Asset sales are a key element of our strategy  improving our capital efficiency by focusing our investment on the most attractive growth opportunities. Sales of non-core assets in 2011 to 2013 generated $16 billion
in divestment proceeds. Exits from further positions in 2014 to 2015 are expected to generate some $15 billion in divestment proceeds. We have initiatives underway that are expected to improve our Upstream Americas and integrated Downstream
businesses, focusing on the profitability of our portfolio and growth potential. Shell has built up a substantial portfolio of project options for future growth.
This portfolio has been designed to capture energy price upside and manage Shells exposure to industry challenges from cost inflation and political risk. Key elements of these opportunities are in global exploration and established resources
positions in the Gulf of Mexico, Australian LNG, offshore Europe, and others. Shell is working to mature these projects, with an emphasis on financial returns. The
statements in this Strategy and outlook section, including those related to our growth strategies and our expected or potential future cash flow from operations, capital investment, divestment proceeds, and production, are based on managements
current expectations and certain material assumptions and, accordingly, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied herein. See About this
Report and Risk factors.

MARKET OVERVIEW According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global economic growth in 2013 was 3.0%, little changed from 3.1% in 2012, and is
forecast to rise to 3.7% for 2014, which would still be below the annual average of 3.9% for the previous 10 years. In 2013, the recovery in the USA was hampered by
factors including the expiration of the payroll tax holiday, while the eurozone suffered from reduced public spending and weak domestic demand. An improved outlook for the US economy brought forward the tapering of quantitative easing, causing
turmoil in many emerging markets, due to a reversal of capital flows, tighter financial conditions and a fall in exchange rates. In January 2014, the IMF estimated
that: the eurozones gross domestic product (GDP) contracted by 0.4% in 2013 compared with a contraction of 0.7% in 2012; US GDP growth slowed to 1.9% from 2.8% in 2012; Chinas GDP growth was 7.7%, the same as in 2012; and the average GDP
growth rate for emerging markets and developing economies fell slightly to 4.7% compared with 4.9% in 2012. Reflecting economic conditions, global oil demand rose
by 1.4% (1.4 million barrels per day (b/d)) in 2013, according to the International Energy Agency January 2014 Oil Market Report. This growth was driven by emerging economies while demand in advanced economies remained almost flat. We estimate that global gas demand grew by about 2% in 2013. This compares with an estimate of 2.5% for 2012 published in 2013 by CEDIGAZ. We believe that the growth in
2013 was driven by power and industry sectors in Asia-Pacific, mainly in China and Japan, the Middle East and the USA. European gas demand continued to contract, and was estimated by Eurostat and Country Transmission System Operators to have fallen
by 1% in 2013, largely due to economic recession, imports of cheap US coal and increased use of renewable energy sources. CRUDE OIL AND NATURAL GAS PRICES The following table provides an overview of the main crude oil and natural gas price markers that Shell is exposed to:  OIL AND GAS AVERAGE INDUSTRY PRICES[A]2013



2012



2011Brent ($/b)


108.66



111.67



111.26West Texas Intermediate ($/b)

56.35Japan Customs-cleared Crude ($/b)


110.21



114.77



109.10 [A] Yearly average prices are based on daily spot prices. The 2013 average price for Japan Customs-cleared Crude excludes December data. The Brent crude oil price, an international crude-oil benchmark, traded in a range of $97-118 per barrel during 2013, ending the year at $109 per barrel. Both
the Brent and the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) average crude oil prices for 2013 were little changed compared with 2012. WTI traded overall at a discount to Brent, but the discount was much narrower in the second half of 2013 as an expansion in
pipeline capacity increased the ability to move oil from the landlocked area of Cushing, Oklahoma, where WTI is delivered. Unlike crude-oil pricing, which is global
in nature, gas prices vary significantly from region to region. In the USA, the natural gas price at Henry Hub in 2013 averaged $3.7 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), 34% higher compared with 2012, and traded in a range of


$3.1-4.5 per MMBtu. At the start of 2013, the price was $3.1 per MMBtu due to mild winter weather, before a late cold snap in March increased demand and pushed it up to almost $4.4 per MMBtu. The
price then trended downwards until December, when cold weather pushed it up to a peak of $4.5 per MMBtu, before it fell slightly to end the year at $4.4 per MMBtu. In Europe, gas prices rose despite the fall in demand. In the UK, the average price at the UK National Balancing Point was 14% higher compared with 2012. In continental
Europe, price increases at the main gas trading hubs in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands were similar to those at the UK National Balancing Point. These prices reflected a tightening of global LNG markets and higher prices in Asia-Pacific. The
use of oil-indexed gas pricing is decreasing in continental Europe, with many natural gas contracts now including spot market pricing as a major component. We also
produce and sell natural gas in regions where supply, demand and regulatory circumstances differ markedly from those in the USA or Europe. Long-term contracted LNG prices in Asia-Pacific are predominantly indexed to the price of Japan
Customs-cleared Crude (JCC). In Japan, LNG import contracts have historically been indexed to the JCC benchmark. Increasingly, we note growing demand for LNG in
China, India, the Middle East, South America and South East Asia. In these markets, LNG supply is offered on term and spot bases in a competitive market. North American projects have been offering future supply linked to Henry Hub gas prices in the
USA. CRUDE OIL AND NATURAL GAS PRICES FOR INVESTMENT EVALUATION The range of
possible future crude oil and natural gas prices used in project and portfolio evaluations within Shell is determined after an assessment of short-, medium- and long-term price drivers under different sets of assumptions. Historical analysis, trends
and statistical volatility are considered in this assessment, as are analyses of possible future economic conditions, geopolitics, actions by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), supply costs and the balance of supply and
demand. Sensitivity analyses are used to test the impact of low-price drivers, such as economic weakness, and high-price drivers, such as strong economic growth and low investment levels in new production capacity. Short-term events, such as
relatively warm winters or cool summers affecting demand, and supply disruptions due to weather or politics, contribute to price volatility. We expect oil and gas
prices to remain volatile. For the purposes of making investment decisions, generally we test the economic performance of long-term projects against price ranges of $70-110 per barrel for Brent crude oil and $3-5 per MMBtu for gas at Henry Hub. As
part of our normal business practice, the range of prices used for this purpose is subject to review and change, and was last confirmed in the fourth quarter of 2013. REFINING AND PETROCHEMICAL MARKET TRENDS Industry refining margins were lower in
2013 than in 2012 in key refining hubs, except for US Gulf Coast (USGC) margins, where increased domestic crude oil production lowered crude oil acquisition costs relative to international benchmarks. Some demand growth, especially around the summer
driving season in the USA, also contributed to higher USGC margins. The global economic environment generally improved from the previous year. Political tensions, especially in the Middle East and north Africa, tended to add volatility to markets. In 2014, increased demand for middle distillates is expected to be a key driver of refining margins, supported by demand for gasoline in the middle of the year.
However, the overall outlook remains uncertain

because of continuing economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions in some regions that could lead to supply disruptions, and structural overcapacity in global refining. Industry naphtha cracker margins in Asia and Europe were broadly similar to those in 2012 as growth remained below the historic average. US ethane cracker margins rose
because ethane prices fell. The outlook for petrochemicals for 2014 is highly dependent on further economic recovery.

[A] Restated for the retrospective application of revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits, adopted with effect from January 1, 2013. See
Note 28 to the "Consolidated Financial Statements".

[B] See Note 2 to the "Consolidated Financial Statements". Segment earnings are presented on a current cost of
supplies basis.



EARNINGS 2013-2011 Global realised
liquids prices were 6% lower in 2013 than in 2012. In Canada, realised synthetic crude oil prices were 7% higher than in 2012. Global realised natural gas prices were 6% higher than in 2012, with a 27% increase in the Americas and a 3% increase
outside the Americas. Oil and gas production available for sale in 2013 was 3,199 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), compared with 3,262 thousand boe/d in 2012. Liquids production was down 6% and natural gas production increased by
2% compared with 2012. Excluding the impact of divestments, production-sharing contract price effects and the deteriorated operating environment in Nigeria, production volumes in 2013 were in line with 2012. Realised refining margins were
significantly lower in 2013 compared with 2012, mainly as a result of a deterioration in industry conditions in most regions (see Market overview). Earnings on a current cost of supplies basis (CCS earnings) attributable to shareholders in 2013 of $16,745 million were in line with our announcement on January 17,
2014, that they were expected to be approximately $16.8 billion. CCS earnings in 2013 were 38% lower than in 2012, which, in turn, were 5% lower than in 2011. CCS
earnings exclude the effect of changes in the oil price on inventory valuation, as the purchase price of the volumes sold during a period is based on the current cost of supplies during the same period, after making allowance for the tax effect.
Accordingly, when oil prices increase during the period, CCS earnings are likely to be lower than earnings calculated on a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis. Similarly, in a period with declining oil prices, CCS earnings are likely to be higher than
earnings calculated on a FIFO basis. This explains why 2013 CCS earnings were $353 million higher than earnings calculated on a FIFO basis (2012: $463 million higher; 2011: $2,355 million lower). Upstream earnings in 2013 were $12,638 million, compared with $22,444 million in 2012 and $24,466 million in 2011. The 43% decrease from 2012 to 2013 reflected higher
depreciation charges (partly driven by impairments), lower divestment gains, higher exploration expenses (mainly driven by well write-offs), higher operating expenses and lower liquids and LNG realisations. Earnings were also impacted by a
deterioration in the operating environment in Nigeria and the impact of the weakening Australian dollar on a deferred tax liability. These effects were partly offset by the contribution of our Pearl GTL plant in Qatar and higher gas price
realisations in the Americas, together with net tax gains in 2013 compared with net tax


charges and higher decommissioning provisions in 2012. In 2012, earnings decreased by 9% compared with 2011, reflecting higher depreciation charges, increased operating and exploration expenses,
lower gains associated with the fair-value accounting of certain gas and derivative contracts, and additional tax charges, partly offset by higher contributions from our integrated gas activities (LNG and GTL). Downstream earnings in 2013 were $3,869 million compared with $5,382 million in 2012, and $4,170 million in 2011. The 28% decrease from 2012 to 2013 reflected
significantly lower realised refining margins and higher charges for impairment, partly offset by higher contributions from Chemicals and Trading. Continued strong contributions from Marketing were broadly similar to 2012. The 29% increase in
earnings from 2011 to 2012 reflected higher realised refining margins, lower operating expenses and a reduced level of impairment, partly offset by lower trading contributions, lower Chemicals earnings, lower divestment gains and lower gains
associated with the fair-value accounting of commodity derivatives. BALANCE SHEET AND NET CAPITAL INVESTMENT Shells strategy to invest in the development of major growth projects, primarily in Upstream, explains the most significant changes to the balance sheet in 2013.
Property, plant and equipment increased by $20 billion. Net capital investment was $44 billion, 49% higher than in 2012; see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The effect of net capital investment on property, plant and
equipment was partly offset by depreciation, depletion and amortisation of $22 billion. Of the net capital investment in 2013, 89% related to Upstream projects,
aimed at providing growth over the long term. Gearing was 16.1% at the end of 2013, compared with 9.8% at the end of 2012 as restated for the retrospective
application of revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits, mainly reflecting a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, and an increase in debt. ADOPTION OF IFRS 11
JOINT ARRANGEMENTS As noted above and explained in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Shell adopted a number of new and revised accounting
standards in 2013, including IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements. The adoption of IFRS 11 did not materially affect the Consolidated Financial Statements, and comparative information was therefore not restated. However, the impact of the
adoption of IFRS 11 on certain information presented in this Report is explained, where appropriate, to aid evaluation of this information.

|19 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | SUMMARY OF RESULTS



PROVED RESERVES AND PRODUCTION Shell
subsidiaries and the Shell share of joint ventures and associates estimated net proved oil and gas reserves are summarised in Upstream and set out in more detail in Supplementary information  oil and gas
(unaudited). The impact in 2013 of the reclassification of certain entities, consistent with the change in their accounting treatment as a result of the adoption of IFRS 11 JointArrangements, is provided separately; this had no impact
on proved reserves in total. The changes in proved reserves described below for Shell subsidiaries and for the Shell share of joint ventures and associates respectively exclude the effect of this reclassification. In 2013, Shell added 1,577 million boe of proved reserves before taking production into account, of which 1,445 million boe came from Shell subsidiaries and 132 million
boe from the Shell share of joint ventures and associates. These additions were positively impacted by lower commodity prices (48 million boe) and purchases that more than offset sales (44 million boe). In 2013, total oil and gas production available for sale was 1,168 million boe. An additional 39 million boe was produced and consumed in operations. Production
available for sale from subsidiaries was 850 million boe with an additional 28 million boe consumed in operations. The Shell share of the production available for sale of joint ventures and associates was 318 million boe with an additional
11 million boe consumed in operations. Accordingly, after taking production into account, there was an increase of 370 million boe in proved reserves,
comprising an increase of 567 million boe from subsidiaries and a decrease of 197 million boe from the Shell share of joint ventures and associates. KEY

|PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS



Total shareholder return2013    8.6%

2012    0.2% Total shareholder return (TSR) is the difference between the share price at the start of the year and the share price at the end of the
year, plus gross dividends delivered during the calendar year (reinvested quarterly), expressed as a percentage of the year-start share price. The TSRs of major publicly traded oil and gas companies can be directly compared, providing a way to
determine how Shell is performing against its industry peers.  Net cash from operating activities ($ billion)2013    40

2012    46 Net cash from operating activities is the total of all cash receipts and payments associated with our sales of oil, gas, chemicals and
other products. The components that provide a reconciliation from income for the period are listed in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This indicator reflects Shells ability to generate cash for both investment and
distribution to shareholders.  Project delivery2013    88%

2012    90% Project delivery reflects Shells capability to complete major projects on time and within budget on the basis of targets set in the
annual Business Plan. The set of projects consists of at least 20 Shell-operated capital projects that are in the execution phase (post final investment decision).  Production available for sale (thousand boe/d)2013    3,199

2012    3,262 Production is the sum of all average daily volumes of unrefined oil and natural gas produced for sale by Shell subsidiaries and the Shell
share of joint ventures and associates. The unrefined oil comprises crude oil, natural gas liquids, synthetic crude oil and bitumen. The gas volume is converted into equivalent barrels of oil to make the summation possible. Changes in production
have a significant impact on Shells cash flow.


Equity sales of liquefied natural gas (million tonnes)2013    19.6

2012    20.2 Equity sales of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a measure of the operational performance of Shells Upstream business and the LNG
market demand.  Refinery and chemical plant availability2013    92.5%

2012    92.9% Refinery and chemical plant availability is the weighted average of the actual uptime of plants as a percentage of their maximum possible
uptime. The weighting is based on the capital employed adjusted for cash and non-current liabilities. It excludes downtime due to uncontrollable factors, such as hurricanes. This indicator is a measure of operational excellence of Shells
Downstream manufacturing facilities.  Total recordable case frequency(injuries per million working hours)2013    1.15

2012    1.26 Total recordable case frequency (TRCF) is the number of staff or contractor injuries requiring medical treatment or time off for every
million hours worked. It is a standard measure of occupational safety.

Proved oil and gas reserves attributable to Royal Dutch Shell plc shareholders (million boe)2013    13,932

2012    13,556 Proved oil and gas reserves attributable to Royal Dutch Shell plc shareholders are the total estimated quantities of oil and gas from
Shell subsidiaries (excluding reserves attributable to non-controlling interest) and the Shell share of joint ventures and associates that geoscience and engineering data demonstrate, with reasonable certainty, to be recoverable in future years from
known reservoirs, as at December 31, under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. Gas volumes are converted into barrels of oil equivalent (boe) using a factor of 5,800 standard cubic feet per barrel.
Reserves are crucial to an oil and gas company, since they constitute the source of future production. Reserves estimates are subject to change based on a wide variety of factors, some of which are unpredictable. See Risk factors.  Operational spills of more than 100 kilograms2013    174

2012    207 The operational spills indicator is the number of incidents in respect of activities where we are the operator in which 100 kilograms or
more of oil or oil products were spilled as a result of those activities. The number for 2012 was updated from 204 to reflect the completion of investigations into spills.  Employees (thousand)2013    92

OVERVIEW Our Upstream businesses
explore for and extract crude oil and natural gas, often in joint arrangements with international and national oil and gas companies. This includes the extraction of bitumen from mined oil sands which we convert into synthetic crude oil. We liquefy
natural gas by cooling it, and transport the liquefied natural gas (LNG) to customers across the world. We also convert natural gas to liquids (GTL) to provide high-quality fuels and other products, and we market and trade natural gas (including
LNG) in support of our Upstream businesses. BUSINESS CONDITIONS Global oil
demand rose by 1.4% (1.4 million b/d) in 2013 according to the International Energy Agency January 2014 Oil Market Report. This growth was driven by emerging economies while demand in advanced economies remained almost flat. The Brent crude oil
price, an international crude-oil benchmark, traded in a range of $97-118 per barrel during 2013, ending the year at $109 per barrel. We estimate that global gas
demand grew by about 2% in 2013. This compares with an estimate of 2.5% for 2012 published in 2013 by CEDIGAZ. We believe that the growth in 2013 was driven by power and industry sectors in Asia-Pacific, mainly in China and Japan, the Middle East
and the USA. European gas demand continued to contract, and was estimated by Eurostat and Country Transmission System Operators to have fallen by 1% in 2013, largely due to the economic recession, imports of cheap US coal and increased use of
renewable energy sources. EARNINGS 2013-2012 Segment earnings of $12,638
million included a net charge of $2,479 million, primarily related to the impairment of liquids-rich shale properties in North America, partly offset by net tax gains and gains on divestments. Segment earnings in 2012 of $22,244 million
included a net gain of $2,137 million, mainly related to gains on divestments, partly offset by impairments for onshore gas assets in the USA, net tax charges and decommissioning provisions. Excluding the net charge and net gain described above, segment earnings in 2013 decreased compared with 2012 because of higher exploration expenses (mainly driven by
well write-offs), operating expenses and depreciation, and lower liquids and LNG realisations. Earnings were also impacted by a deterioration in the operating environment in Nigeria and the impact of the weakening Australian


dollar on a deferred tax liability. This was partly offset by an increased contribution from our Pearl GTL plant in Qatar, and higher gas prices in the Americas. Earnings in the Americas were a loss of $900 million in 2013, excluding the related items identified at the beginning of this earnings section. Compared with 2012
earnings of $670 million, they decreased mainly because of higher exploration and operating expenses, partly offset by higher gas prices. Our deep-water and heavy oil businesses in the Americas reported positive earnings, whereas our onshore
business reported a loss. Global realised liquids prices were 6% lower than in 2012. In Canada, realised synthetic crude oil prices were 7% higher than in 2012.
Global realised gas prices were 6% higher than in 2012, with a 27% increase in the Americas and a 3% increase outside the Americas. Equity LNG sales volumes of 19.6
million tonnes were 3% lower than in 2012, mainly reflecting lower volumes from Nigeria LNG as a result of the deterioration in the operating environment in Nigeria, including reduced feed gas supply and a blockade on shipments. Excluding the impact
of the challenging operating environment in Nigeria, equity LNG sales volumes were similar to 2012. EARNINGS 2012-2011 Segment earnings in 2012 of $22,244 million included a net gain of $2,137 million as described above. Segment earnings in 2011 of $24,466 million included a net
gain of $3,855 million, mainly related to gains on divestments, the fair-value accounting of certain gas and derivative contracts, partly offset by the cost impact of the US offshore drilling moratorium. Excluding the net gains described above, segment earnings in 2012 were 2% lower than in 2011, primarily driven by reduced contributions from the Americas, mainly as a
result of higher depreciation, increased operating expenses, higher exploration expenses and lower realised gas prices. These were partly offset by the increased contribution of integrated gas activities (LNG and GTL), reflecting the ramp-up of the
Pearl GTL plant, higher realised LNG prices as well as increased LNG trading contributions and equity LNG sales volumes. Earnings in 2012 also reflected higher realised gas prices outside the Americas.

NET CAPITAL INVESTMENT Net capital
investment was $39 billion in 2013, compared with $25 billion in 2012 and $19 billion in 2011. Capital investment in 2013 was $40 billion (of which $11 billion was exploration expenditure, including acquisitions of unproved properties).
Capital investment in 2012 was $31 billion. Divestment proceeds were $1 billion in 2013 compared with $6 billion in 2012. Net capital investment was higher
than in 2012 mainly due to lower divestment proceeds and higher expenditure on acquisitions, primarily due to the purchase of LNG assets from Repsol as described below. There was also higher capital investment in growth projects, particularly:
deep-water projects in Malaysia, Nigeria and the Americas; integrated gas projects in Australia; and tight-gas projects in China. PORTFOLIO ACTIONS AND BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT In Brazil, a consortium of companies in which Shell holds a 20% interest won a 35-year production-sharing contract (PSC) to develop the Libra discovery,
a potential multibillion barrel oil field in pre-salt reservoirs located in the Santos Basin. Also in Brazil, we completed the acquisition of an additional 23%
interest in the Shell-operated Parque das Conchas (BC-10) deep-water project. In January 2014, we announced an agreement to sell a 23% interest in the BC-10 project to Qatar Petroleum International which would return Shell to a 50% interest in the
field, subject to completion. In Indonesia, we acquired an additional 5% interest in the Masela block, increasing our interest to 35%. The Masela PSC contains the
Abadi gas field, for which a 2.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) floating LNG (FLNG) facility is in the front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase. In Iraq, the
Basrah Gas Company, a joint venture between Shell (44%), South Gas Company (51%) and Mitsubishi Corporation (5%) officially started operations. The Basrah Gas Company gathers, treats and processes raw gas produced from the Rumaila, West Qurna 1 and
Zubair fields that was previously being flared. In the UK, we acquired 75% of Hess Corporations interests in the Beryl area fields and Scottish Area Gas
Evacuation system, increasing Shells production in the Beryl area fields from 9 thousand boe/d to 20 thousand boe/d. Also in the UK, we acquired an
additional 5.9% interest in the offshore Schiehallion field from Murphy Schiehallion Ltd bringing our interest in the field to 55%. In January 2014, Shell completed
the acquisition of Repsol S.A.s LNG portfolio outside of North America, including supply positions in Peru and Trinidad and Tobago, for a net cash purchase price of $3.8 billion, subject to post-closing adjustments. As part of the transaction,
Shell also assumed $1.6 billion of balance sheet liabilities relating to existing leases for LNG ship charters. The acquisition adds 7.2 mtpa of directly managed LNG volumes through long-term off-take agreements, including 4.2 mtpa of equity
LNG plant capacity. Capital investment of $3.4 billion was reported in 2013 with the remaining $2.0 billion to be reported in the first quarter of 2014. We also
took several final investment decisions during 2013, including the following. In Canada, we took the final investment decision for Phase 1 and 2 of the Carmon Creek
in-situ project (Shell interest 100%). The project will


include central processing facilities and well pads and is expected to deliver peak production of 80 thousand barrels of bitumen production per day. In Nigeria, we took the final investment decision for the development of the Erha North Phase 2 deep-water project (Shell interest 44%). The project is expected to
produce around 60 thousand boe/d at peak production and improve the utilisation of the existing Erha floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. In
the USA, we took the final investment decision for the Stones deep-water project (Shell interest 100%) in the Gulf of Mexico. The first phase of development has an expected peak production of 50 thousand boe/d. We continued to divest selected Upstream assets during 2013, including a 5% interest in the Prelude FLNG project in Australia to CPC Corporation, reducing Shells
interest in the project to 67.5%. In January 2014, we agreed the sale of our 8% interest in the Wheatstone-Iago joint venture and our 6.4% interest in the 8.9 mtpa
Wheatstone LNG project, both in Australia, to the Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company. In Upstream Americas tight-gas and liquids-rich shale,
insights from ongoing exploration and appraisal drilling results and production information, and Shells ongoing restructuring of this portfolio, could potentially lead to future asset sales and/or impairments. We have launched a strategic portfolio review in Nigeria, regarding the potential exit from interests we hold in some onshore leases in the eastern Niger Delta, subject
to partner and regulatory approvals. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE PRODUCTION In 2013,
production was 3,199 thousand boe/d compared with 3,262 thousand boe/d in 2012. Liquids production was down 6% and gas production increased by 2% compared with 2012. Production in 2013 was positively impacted by new field start-ups and the continuing ramp-up of existing projects, including the first full year of production from the
Pearl GTL plant, the ramp-up of multiple projects in Malaysia, first commercial production in the Majnoon field in Iraq, and start-ups such as the BC-10 Phase 2 project in Brazil and the North Rankin Redevelopment project in Australia. These factors were more than offset by field declines, the impact of the challenging operating environment in Nigeria, and an increase in maintenance and asset
replacement activities. In February 2014, we started production from the Mars B development through the Olympus platform (Shell interest 71.5%), our seventh, and
largest, floating deep-water platform in the Gulf of Mexico. PROVED RESERVES Shell subsidiaries and the Shell share of joint ventures and associates estimated net proved oil and gas reserves are summarised later in this Upstream
section and set out in more detail in Supplementary information  oil and gas (unaudited). The impact in 2013 of the reclassification of certain entities, consistent with the change in their accounting treatment as a result of the
adoption of IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), is provided separately; this had no impact on proved reserves in total. The changes in proved reserves described below for Shell
subsidiaries and for the Shell share of joint ventures and associates respectively exclude the effect of this reclassification.

In 2013, Shell added 1,577 million boe of proved reserves before taking production into account, of which 1,445 million boe
came from Shell subsidiaries and 132 million boe from the Shell share of joint ventures and associates. The change in the yearly average commodity prices between
2012 and 2013 resulted in a net positive impact on the proved reserves of 48 million boe. Shell subsidiaries Before taking production into account, Shell subsidiaries added 1,445 million boe of proved reserves in 2013. This comprised 932 million barrels of oil and
natural gas liquids and 513 million boe (2,973 thousand million scf) of natural gas. Of the 1,445 million boe: 657 million boe were from the net effects of revisions and reclassifications; 440 million boe were from improved recovery;
304 million boe came from extensions and discoveries; and a net increase of 44 million boe related to purchases and sales. After taking into account production
of 878 million boe (of which 28 million boe were consumed in operations), Shell subsidiaries proved reserves increased by 567 million boe in 2013. Shell
subsidiaries proved developed reserves decreased by 24 million boe to 6,790 million boe, while proved undeveloped reserves increased by 591 million boe to 4,046 million boe. The total addition of 1,445 million boe before taking production into account included a net positive impact from commodity price changes of 48 million boe of proved
reserves. SYNTHETIC CRUDE OIL Of the 1,577 million boe added to proved reserves,
16 million barrels were synthetic crude oil. In 2013, we had synthetic crude oil production of 48 million barrels of which 2 million barrels were consumed in operations. At December 31, 2013, we had synthetic crude oil proved reserves of
1,731 million barrels, of which 1,299 million barrels were proved developed reserves and 432 million barrels were proved undeveloped reserves. BITUMEN Of the 1,577 million boe added to proved reserves, 380 million barrels were bitumen. The addition of 380 million barrels comprised a decrease of 30 million barrels from
net effects of revisions and reclassifications, and an addition of 410 million barrels from improved recovery. After taking into account production of 7 million barrels, bitumen proved reserves were 422 million barrels at December 31,
2013. Shell share of joint ventures and associates Before taking production
into account, there was an increase of 132 million boe in the Shell share of joint ventures and associates proved reserves in 2013. This comprised 57 million barrels of oil and natural gas liquids and 75 million boe (437 thousand million
scf) of natural gas. Of the 132 million boe, 130 million boe came from the net effects of revisions and reclassifications, and 2 million boe came from extensions and discoveries. After taking into account production of 329 million boe (of which 11 million boe were consumed in operations), the Shell share of joint ventures and
associates proved reserves decreased by 197 million boe in 2013. The Shell share of joint ventures and associates proved developed reserves decreased by
149 million boe to 2,542 million boe, and proved undeveloped reserves decreased by 48 million boe to 567 million boe.


The total addition of 132 million boe before taking production into account was not impacted by commodity price changes. Proved undeveloped reserves In 2013, Shell subsidiaries and Shell share
of joint ventures and associates proved undeveloped reserves (PUD) increased by 543 million boe to 4,613 million boe; in addition 107 million boe of new proved undeveloped reserves in 2013 were matured to proved developed reserves. During
2013, Shell spent $17 billion on development activities related to PUD maturation. Proved undeveloped reserves held for five years or more (PUD5+) at December
31, 2013, were 826 million boe, a decrease of 186 million boe compared with the end of 2012. These proved reserves remain undeveloped because development either: requires the installation of gas compression and the drilling of additional gas
wells, which will be executed when required to support existing gas delivery commitments (in the Netherlands, Norway, the Philippines, Russia); requires gas cap blow-down which is awaiting end-of-oil production (in Nigeria); is part of ongoing
onshore oil and gas development (in the USA); is part of water-injection project execution that is still in progress (in the Gulf of Mexico); or will take longer than five years because of the complexity and scale of the project (in countries such
as Kazakhstan). Most of the PUD5+ are held in locations where Shell has a proven track record of developing similar major projects or where project execution is ongoing but is taking longer than expected. DELIVERY COMMITMENTS Shell sells crude oil and natural gas from its producing
operations under a variety of contractual obligations. Most contracts generally commit Shell to sell quantities based on production from specified properties, although some natural gas sales contracts specify delivery of fixed and determinable
quantities, as discussed below. In the past three years, Shell met all contractual delivery commitments. In the period 2014 to 2016, Shell is contractually committed to deliver to third parties and joint ventures and associates a total of approximately 4,400 thousand
million scf of natural gas from Shell subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. The sales contracts contain a mixture of fixed and variable pricing formulae that are generally referenced to the prevailing market price for crude oil, natural gas
or other petroleum products at the time of delivery. The shortfall between Shells delivery commitments and its proved developed reserves is estimated at 24%
of Shells total gas delivery commitments. This shortfall is expected to be met through the development of proved undeveloped reserves as well as new projects and purchases on the spot market. EXPLORATION While 2013 included some disappointing exploration results, Shell did
participate in nine notable exploration discoveries and appraisals. An increase in exploration activity has contributed to an increase in dry holes, which more than doubled from 2012 to 2013. Accordingly, exploration expenses increased by 70% over
the same period, primarily in North and South America. In 2013, Shell participated in 263 productive exploratory wells with proved reserves allocated (Shell share:
200 wells). For further information, see Supplementary information  oil and gas (unaudited)  Acreage and wells. In 2013, Shell participated
in a further 273 wells (Shell share: 205 wells) that remained pending determination at December 31, 2013. In total, Shell added net 3,700 square kilometres of
acreage to its exploration portfolio, comprising acreage increases of 78,800 square

UPSTREAMCONTINUED kilometres with notable (over 10,000 square kilometres) increases in Australia and Canada, and reductions of
75,100 square kilometres with notable reductions in Brazil and Libya due to relinquishments and exits respectively. BUSINESS AND PROPERTY Shell subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are involved in all aspects of upstream activities, including matters such as land tenure, entitlement to produced
hydrocarbons, production rates, royalties, pricing, environmental protection, social impact, exports, taxes and foreign exchange. The conditions of the leases,
licences and contracts under which oil and gas interests are held vary from country to country. In almost all cases outside North America the legal agreements are generally granted by or entered into with a government, government entity or
government-run oil and gas company, and the exploration risk usually rests with the independent oil and gas company. In North America these agreements may also be with private parties that own mineral rights. Of these agreements, the following are
most relevant to Shells interests:  n

Licences (or concessions), which entitle the holder to explore for hydrocarbons and exploit any commercial discoveries. Under a licence, the holder bears the risk of exploration, development and production activities,
and is responsible for financing these activities. In principle, the licence holder is entitled to the totality of production less any royalties in kind. The government, government entity or government-run oil and gas company may sometimes enter as
a participant in a joint arrangement sharing the rights and obligations of the licence but usually without sharing the exploration risk. In a few cases, the government entity, government-run oil and gas company or agency has an option to purchase a
certain share of production. n

Lease agreements, which are typically used in North America and are usually governed by similar terms as licences. Participants may include governments or private entities, and royalties are either paid in cash or in
kind. n

Production-sharing contracts (PSCs) entered into with a government, government entity or government-run oil and gas company. PSCs generally oblige the independent oil and gas company, as contractor, to provide all the
financing and bear the risk of exploration, development and production activities in exchange for a share of the production. Usually, this share consists of a fixed or variable part that is reserved for the recovery of the contractors cost
(cost oil). The remaining production is split with the government, government entity or government-run oil and gas company on a fixed or volume/revenue-dependent basis. In some cases, the government, government entity or government-run oil and gas
company will participate in the rights and obligations of the contractor and will share in the costs of development and production. Such participation can be across the venture, or on a field-by-field basis. Additionally, as the price of oil or gas
increases above certain predetermined levels, the independent oil and gas companys entitlement share of production normally decreases, and vice versa. Accordingly, its interest in a project may not be the same as its entitlement. Europe DENMARK We hold a non-operating interest in a producing concession in Denmark (Shell interest 36.8%), which was granted in 1962 and will expire in 2042. The Danish government is
one of our partners with a 20% interest. IRELAND We are the operator of the
Corrib Gas project (Shell interest 45%), which is currently at an advanced stage of construction. Its


four kilometre onshore gas pipeline has been installed, while construction of a 4.9 kilometre tunnel under Sruwaddacon Bay is progressing. Corrib has the potential to supply a significant
proportion of the countrys natural gas requirement. ITALY We hold two
non-operating interests in Italy: the Val dAgri producing concession (Shell interest 39.23%) and the Tempa Rossa concession (Shell interest 25%). The Tempa Rossa field is under development by the operator, Total, and first oil is currently
expected in late 2016. NETHERLANDS Shell and ExxonMobil are 50:50 shareholders
in Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij B.V. (NAM), the largest hydrocarbon producer in the Netherlands. An important part of NAMs gas production comes from the onshore Groningen gas field, in which the Dutch government has a 40% interest and NAM
a 60% interest. NAM also has a 60% interest in the Schoonebeek oil field, which has been redeveloped using enhanced oil recovery technology. NAM also operates a significant number of other onshore gas fields and offshore gas fields in the North Sea.
It is expected that, later in 2014, the Minister of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands will formally approve NAMs production plan for the Groningen field. It would cap production in 2014 at 42.5 billion cubic metres, in an effort to diminish
the potential for seismic activity. NORWAY We are a partner in more than 20
production licences on the Norwegian continental shelf. We are the operator in six of these, of which two are producing: the Ormen Lange gas field (Shell interest 17.8%) and the Draugen oil field (Shell interest 44.6%). The other producing fields
are the Troll, Gjøa and Kvitebjørn fields. UK We operate a
significant number of our interests on the UK Continental Shelf on behalf of a 50:50 joint arrangement with ExxonMobil. Most of our UK oil and gas production comes from the North Sea. We hold various non-operated interests in the Atlantic Margin
area, principally in the West of Shetlands area. We also have interests in the non-operated Schiehallion field (Shell interest 55%), and in the Beryl area fields, with interests ranging from 20% to 49%. REST OF EUROPE Shell also has interests in Albania, Austria, Germany, Greece,
Greenland, Hungary, Slovakia, Spain and Ukraine. Asia (including the Middle East and Russia) BRUNEI Shell and the Brunei government are 50:50 shareholders in Brunei Shell
Petroleum Company Sendirian Berhad (BSP). BSP holds long-term oil and gas concession rights onshore and offshore Brunei, and sells most of its natural gas production to Brunei LNG Sendirian Berhad (BLNG, Shell interest 25%). BLNG was the first LNG
plant in Asia-Pacific, and sells most of its LNG on long-term contracts to customers in Asia. We are the operator for the Block A concession (Shell interest 53.9%),
which is under exploration and development, and also operator for exploration Block Q (Shell interest 50%). We have a 35% non-operating interest in the Block B concession, where gas and condensate are produced from the Maharaja Lela Field. In
addition, we have non-operating interests in deep-water exploration Block CA-2 (Shell interest 12.5%) and in exploration Block N (Shell interest 50%), both under PSCs. CHINA We operate the onshore Changbei tight-gas field under a PSC with China National
Petroleum Corporation (CNPC). The PSC includes the development of tight gas in different geological layers of the block.

In Sichuan, Shell and CNPC have agreed to appraise, develop and produce tight gas in the Jinqiu block under a PSC (Shell
interest 49%) and have a PSC for shale-gas exploration, development and production in the Fushun Yongchuan block (Shell interest 49%). Shell is also a party to the Zitong PSC for tight-gas exploration, development and production (Shell interest
44.1%). We have also agreed with Chinese National Offshore Oil Corporation to appraise and potentially develop three offshore oil and gas blocks in the Yinggehai
Basin, each under a PSC (Shell interest 49%). INDONESIA We have a participating
interest in the offshore Masela block where INPEX Masela is the operator. During 2013, we increased our interest from 30% to 35%. The Masela block contains the Abadi gas field. The operator has selected a FLNG concept for the fields first
development phase. IRAN Shell transactions with Iran are disclosed separately.
See Section 13(r) of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Disclosure. IRAQ We have a 45% interest in the Majnoon oil field that we operate under a technical service contract that expires in 2030. The other Majnoon shareholders are PETRONAS
(30%) and the Iraqi government (25%), which is represented by the Missan Oil Company. Majnoon is located in southern Iraq and is one of the worlds largest oil fields. In 2013, we successfully restarted production and Majnoon has reached
the milestone of first commercial production of 175 thousand b/d, which triggers the commencement of cost recovery. We also have a 15% interest in the West Qurna 1 field. According to the provisions of both contracts, Shells equity entitlement
volumes will be lower than the Shell interest implies. In 2013, the Basrah Gas Company, a joint venture between Shell (44%), South Gas Company (51%) and
Mitsubishi Corporation (5%) officially started operations. The Basrah Gas Company gathers, treats and processes raw gas produced from the Rumaila, West Qurna 1 and Zubair fields that was previously being flared. The processed natural gas and
associated products, such as condensate and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), will be sold primarily to the domestic market with the potential to export any surplus. KAZAKHSTAN We have a 16.8% interest in the offshore Kashagan field, where the North
Caspian Operating Company is the operator. This shallow-water field covers an area of approximately 3,400 square kilometres. Phase 1 development of the field is expected to lead to plateau production of approximately 300 thousand boe/d,
increasing further with additional phases of development. After the start of production from the Kashagan field in September 2013, operations had to be stopped in October due to gas leaks from the sour gas pipeline. Investigations and repair
activities are ongoing. We have an interest of 55% in the Pearls PSC, covering an area of approximately 900 square kilometres in the Kazakh sector of the Caspian
Sea. It includes two oil discoveries (Auezov and Khazar) and several exploration prospects. MALAYSIA We explore for and produce oil and gas located offshore Sabah and Sarawak under 19 PSCs, in which our interests range from 20% to 85%. Offshore Sabah, we operate four producing oil fields (Shell interest 50%). We also have additional interests ranging from 30% to 50% in PSCs for the exploration and
development of five deep-water blocks.


These include the Gumusut-Kakap deep-water field (Shell interest 33%) and the Malikai field (Shell interest 35%). Both these fields are currently being developed with Shell as the operator. We
began early production from Gumusut-Kakap in November 2012, by connecting two wells to the Kikeh production facility, which is operated by Murphy Sabah Oil. Production from Gumusut-Kakap via a dedicated floating production system is expected to
commence during 2014. We also have a 21% interest in the Siakap North-Petai field, a 30% interest in the Kebabangan field and a 30% interest in offshore exploration PSC, SB311. Offshore Sarawak, we are the operator of 17 producing gas fields (Shell interests ranging from 37.5% to 70%). Nearly all of the gas produced is supplied to Malaysia LNG
in Bintulu where we have a 15% interest in each of the Dua and Tiga LNG plants. We also have a 40% interest in the 2011 Baram Delta EOR PSC and a 50% interest in Block SK-307. Additionally, we have interests
in five exploration PSCs: Deepwater Block 2B, SK318, SK319, SK408 and SK320. We operate a GTL plant (Shell interest 72%) adjacent to the Malaysia LNG facilities in
Bintulu. Using Shell technology, the plant converts natural gas into high-quality middle distillates, drilling fluids, waxes and speciality products. OMAN We have a 34% interest in Petroleum Development Oman (PDO); the Omani government has a 60% interest. PDO is the operator of more than 160 oil fields, mainly located in
central and southern Oman over an area of around 114,000 square kilometres. The concession expires in 2044. During 2013, the Amal Steam enhanced oil recovery project was brought on stream. The project is expected to ramp up over a number of years
and produce some 20 thousand b/d of oil at peak production. We are also participating in the Mukhaizna oil field (Shell interest 17%) where steam flooding, an
enhanced oil recovery method, is being applied on a large scale. We have a 30% interest in Oman LNG, which mainly supplies Asian markets under long-term contracts.
We also have an 11% indirect interest in Qalhat LNG, another Oman-based LNG facility. QATAR Pearl in Qatar is the worlds largest GTL plant. Shell operates the plant under a development and production-sharing contract with the government of Qatar. The fully
integrated facility includes production, transport and processing of approximately 1.6 billion scf/d of well-head gas from Qatars North Field with installed capacity of about 140 thousand boe/d of high-quality liquid hydrocarbon products and
120 thousand boe/d of NGL and ethane. We have a 30% interest in Qatargas 4, which comprises integrated facilities to produce approximately 1.4 billion scf/d of natural gas from Qatars North Field, an onshore gas-processing facility and an
LNG train with a collective production capacity of 7.8 mtpa of LNG and 70 thousand boe/d of NGL. The LNG is shipped mainly to markets in China, Europe and the United Arab Emirates. We are the operator of Block D under the terms of an exploration and production-sharing contract with Qatar Petroleum, which represents the national government. We have
a 75% interest, with PetroChina holding the remaining 25% interest. RUSSIA We
have a 27.5% interest in Sakhalin-2, one of the worlds largest integrated oil and gas projects. Located in a subarctic environment, the project produced approximately 320 thousand boe/d and more than 10 million tonnes of LNG in 2013. We have a 50% interest in the Salym fields in western Siberia, where production was approximately 145 thousand boe/d in 2013.

UPSTREAMCONTINUED We also have a 100% interest in three exploration and production licences. They are for the Barun-Yustinsky block in Kalmykia, and the
Arkatoitsky and Lenzitsky blocks in the Yamalo Nenets Autonomous District. We also have an exploration licence in the North-Vorkutinsky area in the Komi Republic. In 2013, we returned the East Talotinskiy licence in the Nenets Autonomous District to
the government. UNITED ARAB EMIRATES In Abu Dhabi, we held a concessionary
interest of 9.5% in the oil and gas operations run by Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) from 1939 to January 2014, when the licence expired. We also have a 15% interest in the licence of Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Limited (GASCO),
which expires in 2028. GASCO exports propane, butane and heavier-liquid hydrocarbons, which it extracts from the wet natural gas associated with the oil produced by ADCO. In 2013, we were chosen by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) to participate in a 30-year joint venture to potentially develop the Bab sour gas reservoirs in Abu
Dhabi (Shell interest 40%). Shell and ADNOC are currently in a period of commercial and technical work that may lead to development, subject to the signing of the respective joint-venture agreements. It is intended that the joint venture will be the
operator, and that the gas will supply the local market in the United Arab Emirates. REST OF ASIA Shell also has interests in India, Japan, Jordan, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, and Turkey. We suspended all exploration and production
activities in Syria in December 2011. Oceania AUSTRALIA We have interests in offshore production and exploration licences in the North West Shelf (NWS) and Greater Gorgon areas of the Carnarvon Basin, as well as in the Browse
Basin and Timor Sea. Some of these interests are held directly and others indirectly through a shareholding of approximately 23% in Woodside Petroleum Ltd (Woodside). All interests in Australian assets quoted below are direct interests. Woodside is the operator of the Pluto LNG project. Woodside is also the operator on behalf of six joint-venture participants in the NWS gas, condensate and oil fields,
which produced more than 470 thousand boe/d in 2013. Shell provides technical support for the NWS development. We have a 50% interest in Arrow Energy Holdings
Pty Limited (Arrow), a Queensland-based joint venture with PetroChina. Arrow owns coalbed methane assets, a domestic power business and the site for a potential LNG plant on Curtis Island, near Gladstone. We have a 25% interest in the Gorgon LNG project, which involves the development of some of the largest gas discoveries to date in Australia, beginning with the offshore
Gorgon (Shell interest 25%) and Jansz-lo (Shell interest 19.3%) fields. It includes the construction of a 15.3 mtpa LNG plant on Barrow Island. We are the
operator of a permit in the Browse Basin in which two separate gas fields were found: Prelude in 2007, and Concerto in 2009. We are developing these fields on the basis of our FLNG technology. The Prelude FLNG project is expected to produce about
110 thousand boe/d of natural gas and NGL, delivering approximately 3.6 mtpa of LNG, 1.3 mtpa of condensate and 0.4 mtpa of LPG. During 2013, construction of the Prelude FLNG


project continued and we completed the sale of a 5% interest to CPC Corporation, reducing our interest to 67.5%. We are also a partner in the Browse joint ventures (Shell interests ranging from 25% to 35%) covering the Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa gas fields. In 2013, the Browse
joint venture selected Shells FLNG technology to progress to the basis of design phase of the project. Our other interests include: a joint venture with Shell
as the operator of the Crux gas and condensate field (Shell interest 82%); the Shell operated AC/P41 block (Shell interest 75%); and the Sunrise gas field in the Timor Sea (Shell interest 26.6%). We agreed to sell our interest in the Wheatstone LNG
project in January 2014. We are a partner in both Shell-operated and other, non-operated, exploration joint ventures in multiple basins including the Bonaparte,
Exmouth Plateau, Greater Gorgon, Outer Canning and South Exmouth. REST OF OCEANIA Shell also has interests in New Zealand. Africa NIGERIA Shells share of production, onshore and offshore, in Nigeria was
approximately 265 thousand boe/d in 2013, compared with approximately 365 thousand boe/d in 2012. Security issues and crude oil theft in the Niger Delta continued to be significant challenges in 2013. Onshore The Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Ltd (SPDC) is the operator
of a joint arrangement (Shell interest 30%) that holds more than 25 Niger Delta onshore oil mining leases (OMLs), which expire in 2019. To provide funding, modified carry agreements are in place for certain key projects, and are being
reimbursed. Further new carry agreements with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation were put in place during 2013. SPDC supplies gas to Nigeria LNG Ltd (NLNG)
mainly through its Gbaran-Ubie and Soku projects. During 2013, force majeure was declared on several occasions, mainly related to security issues, sabotage and crude oil theft incidents. This reduced onshore oil and gas production significantly, and
impacted gas supplies to NLNG. SPDC is undertaking a strategic review of its interests in the eastern Niger Delta that may lead to the divestment of certain leases. Offshore Our main offshore deep-water activities are carried out by Shell Nigeria
Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCO, Shell interest 100%) which holds interests in four deep-water blocks. SNEPCO operates OMLs 118 (including the Bonga field) and 135 (Bolia) holding a 55% interest in each, and holds a 43.75% interest in OML
133 (Erha) and a 50% interest in oil production lease (OPL) 245 (Zabazaba). Deep-water offshore activities are typically governed through PSCs. SPDC also holds an
interest in six shallow-water offshore leases, of which five expired on November 30, 2008. However, SPDC satisfied all the requirements of the Nigerian Petroleum Act to be entitled to an extension. Currently, the status quo is maintained
following a court order issued on November 26, 2008. SPDC is pursuing a negotiated solution with the federal government of Nigeria. Production from the EA field, in one of the disputed leases, continued throughout 2013. Liquefied natural gas Shell has a 25.6% interest in NLNG, which operates six LNG
trains with a total capacity of 22.0 mtpa. In 2013, LNG production was

lower than in 2012 because of gas supply constraints and the impact of a blockade of NLNG export facilities by the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA). REST OF AFRICA Shell also has interests in Benin, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Namibia,
Somalia, South Africa, Tanzania and Tunisia. North America CANADA We hold more than 2,100 mineral leases in Canada, mainly in Alberta and British Columbia. We produce and market natural gas, NGL, synthetic crude oil and bitumen. In
addition, we hold significant exploration acreage offshore. Bitumen is a very heavy crude oil produced through conventional methods as well as through enhanced oil recovery methods. Synthetic crude oil is produced by mining bitumen-saturated sands,
extracting the bitumen from the sands, and transporting it to a processing facility where hydrogen is added to produce a wide range of feedstocks for refineries. Gas and liquids-rich shale We continued to develop fields in Alberta and British
Columbia during 2013 through drilling programmes and investment in infrastructure to facilitate new production. We own and operate four natural gas processing and sulphur-extraction plants in Alberta. Synthetic crude oil We operate the Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP) in north-east
Alberta as part of a joint arrangement (Shell interest 60%). The bitumen is transported by pipeline for processing at the Scotford Upgrader, which is also operated by Shell and located in the Edmonton area. In 2013, the first phase of the AOSP
debottlenecking project came online, adding an additional 10 thousand boe/d of capacity at peak production. The Quest carbon capture and storage project (Shell interest 60%), which is expected to capture and permanently store more than 1 mtpa of CO2 from the Scotford Upgrader, is currently under construction and is expected to start operation towards the end of 2015. Shell also holds a number of other minable oil sands leases in the Athabasca region with expiry dates ranging from 2018 to 2025. By completing a certain minimum level of
development prior to their expiry, leases may be extended. Bitumen We produce and
market bitumen in the Peace River area of Alberta, and have a steam-assisted gravity drainage project in operation near Cold Lake, Alberta. Additional heavy oil resources and advanced recovery technologies are under evaluation on approximately
1,200 square kilometres in the Grosmont oil sands area, also in northern Alberta. During 2013, we announced our final investment decision to proceed with our Carmon Creek project (Shell interest 100%), an in-situ project that is expected to
produce up to 80 thousand boe/d. Offshore We have a 31.3% interest in the Sable
Offshore Energy project, a natural-gas complex offshore eastern Canada. We also have a 100% operating interest in frontier deep-water acreage offshore Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, and a number of exploration licences off the west coast of British
Columbia and in the Mackenzie Delta in the Northwest Territories. USA We produce
oil and gas in the Gulf of Mexico, heavy oil in California and primarily tight gas and liquid hydrocarbons in Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wyoming. The majority of our oil and gas


production interests are acquired under leases granted by the owner of the minerals underlying the relevant acreage, including many leases for federal onshore and offshore tracts. Such leases
usually run on an initial fixed term that is automatically extended by the establishment of production for as long as production continues, subject to compliance with the terms of the lease (including, in the case of federal leases, extensive
regulations imposed by federal law). Gulf of Mexico The Gulf of Mexico is the
major production area in the USA, and accounts for almost 50% of Shells oil and gas production in the country. We have an interest in approximately 450 federal offshore leases in the Gulf of Mexico. Our share of production in the Gulf of
Mexico averaged almost 180 thousand boe/d in 2013. Key producing assets are Auger, Brutus, Enchilada, Mars, NaKika, Perdido, Ram-Powell and Ursa. We continued
to grow our presence in the Gulf of Mexico in 2013, adding three drilling rigs to our contracted offshore fleet. We also secured 36 blocks in the central and western lease sales in 2013. Onshore We have significant holdings of tight-gas and liquids-rich shale acreage
including in the Marcellus shale, centred on Pennsylvania in north-east USA, the Eagle Ford shale formation in south Texas, the Delaware Permian Basin in west Texas, the Sand Wash Basin and Niobrara Shale in north-west Colorado, as well as the
Mississippi Lime in Kansas. In recent years, we have invested significant amounts in our tight-gas and liquids-rich shale portfolio. There is still a significant
amount of drilling that must be conducted in certain properties. If future well results do not meet our expectations, there could be additional asset sales and/or impairments. Additionally, management will continue to review the strategic fit of our
tight-gas and liquids-rich shale assets. Depending on the outcome of that review and future capital allocation to these properties, additional asset sales and/or impairments could also occur. California We have a 51.8% interest in Aera Energy LLC (Aera), which holds assets in
the San Joaquin Valley and Los Angeles Basin areas of southern California. Aera operates more than 15,000 wells, producing approximately 130 thousand boe/d of heavy oil and gas. Alaska We hold more than 410 federal leases for exploration in the Beaufort and
Chukchi seas in Alaska. As a result of the grounding of the Kulluk drilling rig at the end of 2012, exploration drilling in 2013 was deferred. We have made the decision to dispose of the Kulluk and contracted a replacement rig. An impairment charge
was recognised in 2013. A recent US Ninth Circuit Court decision against the Department of the Interior raises obstacles to our plans for drilling offshore Alaska. As a result, we have decided to suspend our exploration programme for Alaska for
2014, and we will continue to review the situation as we develop our plans for 2015. REST OF NORTH AMERICA Shell also has interests in Mexico. South America BRAZIL We are the operator of several producing fields offshore Brazil. They include
the Bijupirá and Salema fields (Shell interest 80%) and the BC-10 field (Shell interest 73%). We started production from the BC-10 Phase 2 project in October 2013, which aims to deliver peak production
of 35 thousand boe/d. In 2013, we exercised our pre-emptive rights to acquire an additional 23% in the BC-10 project, and

OVERVIEW Shells Downstream
organisation is made up of a number of different business activities, part of an integrated value chain, that collectively turn crude oil into a range of refined products, which are moved and marketed around the world for domestic, industrial and
transport use. The products include gasoline, diesel, heating oil, aviation fuel, marine fuel, liquefied natural gas (LNG) for transport, lubricants, bitumen, sulphur and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). In addition, we produce and sell petrochemicals
for industrial use worldwide. Our Refining activities comprise Manufacturing, Supply and Distribution. Marketing includes Retail, Lubricants, Business to Business
(B2B) and Alternative Energies. Chemicals has major manufacturing plants, located close to refineries, and its own marketing network. We also trade crude oil, oil products and petrochemicals, to optimise feedstocks for Manufacturing and Chemicals,
to supply our Marketing businesses and for our own profit. BUSINESS CONDITIONS Industry refining margins were lower in 2013 than in 2012 in key refining hubs, except for US Gulf Coast margins, where increased domestic crude oil production lowered
crude oil acquisition costs relative to international benchmarks. In 2014, increased demand for middle distillates is expected to be a key driver of refining margins, supported by demand for gasoline in the middle of the year. However, the overall
outlook remains uncertain because of continuing economic fragility and geopolitical tensions in some regions that could lead to supply disruptions, amid global structural refining overcapacity. The overcapacity in Europe has been compounded by
weaker regional demand, higher imports and lower exports of refined products to the USA as a result of the increase in the availability of liquids-rich shale. In Asia, new refining capacity has outstripped demand growth. As a result of this
environment, we have commenced a review of our global refining portfolio which could potentially lead to asset sales, closures and/or impairments. Industry naphtha
cracker margins in Asia and Europe were broadly similar to those in 2012 as growth remained below the historic average. The outlook for petrochemicals for 2014 is highly dependent on further economic recovery. EARNINGS 2013-2012 Segment earnings in 2013 were $3,869 million, 28% lower than in
2012. Excluding the impact of the net charge of $597 million in 2013 and the net gain of $39 million in 2012 described at the end of


this section, earnings were 16% lower. The decrease in earnings was mostly due to Refining making a loss, driven by a weaker margin environment, partly offset by higher contributions from
Chemicals and Trading. Continued strong contributions from Marketing were broadly similar to 2012. Industry refining margins were lower in all regions, except for
US Gulf Coast margins which were slightly higher. Lower US West Coast margins in 2013 reflected an excess supply of gasoline in the region. Additionally, US West Coast margins in 2012 were particularly high as a result of competitors outages
and weather events. Margins in 2013 were also impacted by a narrower spread between the Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil benchmarks, as an expansion in pipeline capacity increased the ability to move oil from the landlocked area of
Cushing, Oklahoma, where WTI is delivered. In Europe, margins remained weak due to: low regional demand; increased imports from Asia, Russia and the USA; and limited export opportunities to the USA due to high gasoline inventories there. Margins in
Asia-Pacific were impacted by excess capacity and weak demand due to an economic slowdown. Realised refining margins were significantly lower than in 2012 due to
the deterioration in industry conditions described above. Refinery intake volumes were 3% higher compared with 2012. This was mainly due to the adoption of IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements leading to the inclusion, with effect from January 1, 2013,
of our 50% share of the volumes of Saudi Aramco Shell Refinery, our joint venture in Saudi Arabia, and to new units being online as a result of the Port Arthur refinery expansion project in the USA. Refinery availability fell to 92% compared with
93% in 2012. Chemicals earnings increased compared with 2012 mainly as a result of higher margins for most products. The improvement was driven by more favourable
market conditions, helped by sustained industry supply constraints due to competitors production outages, combined with strong operating performance. Chemicals sales volumes were 7% lower than in 2012, mainly due to the adoption of IFRS 11
Joint Arrangements with effect from January 1, 2013, and contract expirations, partly offset by higher trading volumes. Chemical plant availability increased to 92% compared with 91% in 2012. Marketing earnings were broadly similar to 2012. Retail earnings were higher, with improved margins in all regions. Lubricants earnings were also higher, benefiting
mainly from stronger unit margins. These increases were partly offset by lower earnings from: Raízen, our biofuel

joint venture, which was impacted by negative fair value adjustments to biological assets (sugar-cane plantations) in 2013 compared with positive adjustments in 2012, and a weaker Brazilian real;
and Business to Business, mainly due to lower sulphur prices. Oil products sales volumes were 1% lower than in 2012, reflecting lower marketing and trading volumes,
partly offset by the effect of the adoption of IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements with effect from January 1, 2013. Overall, operating expenses were 2% higher
than in 2012. Production and manufacturing expenses increased due to growth-stimulating spend and higher maintenance costs, coupled with inflation. Selling, distribution and administrative expenses increased due to inflation, spending related to
higher volumes in some businesses and higher promotional costs in some of the marketing businesses. Depreciation increased in 2013 compared with 2012, mainly due to
impairments and to the adoption of IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements with effect from January 1, 2013. Segment earnings in 2013 included a net charge of $597
million, resulting primarily from impairments and deferred tax adjustments which were partly offset by a beneficial tax rate change in the UK and gains on divestments. The impairments were mainly in respect of the majority of our Downstream
activities in Italy, the Geelong refinery in Australia and a bitumen refinery in the USA. Segment earnings in 2012 included a net gain of $39 million, resulting
from net gains on divestments and a tax credit, partly offset by legal and environmental provisions. EARNINGS 2012-2011 Segment earnings in 2012 were $5,382 million, 29% higher than in 2011. This increase reflected a return to profitability in Refining, although marginal, as a result of
higher realised refining margins and better refinery availability, which were partly offset by lower Chemicals earnings. Trading contributions were lower in 2012 than in 2011, while Marketing contributions were broadly unchanged. Both activities
continued to contribute significantly to Downstream earnings. Realised refining margins recovered strongly from their low level at the end of 2011, and improved
across all regions apart from Asia. Chemicals earnings were lower in 2012, mainly as a result of the global economic slowdown, supply constraints of favourable feedstocks in the USA, and the impact of Hurricane Isaac on operations. Segment earnings in 2012 included a net gain of $39 million, described above. Segment earnings in 2011 included a net gain of $15 million consisting of gains from
fair-value accounting of commodity derivatives, formation of the Raizén joint venture, divestments and a tax credit, mostly offset by impairments, redundancy, decommissioning and legal provisions. NET CAPITAL INVESTMENT Net capital investment was $4.9 billion in 2013 compared with
$4.3 billion in 2012. The increase was due to lower divestment proceeds in 2013. Capital investment was $5.5 billion in both 2013 and 2012. In both years
$3.2 billion was in Refining and Chemicals, and $2.3 billion was in Marketing. In 2013, approximately 61% of our capital investment was used to maintain the integrity and performance of our asset base, compared with 56% in 2012. Divestment proceeds were $0.6 billion in 2013 compared with $1.2 billion in 2012.


PORTFOLIO ACTIONS In Chemicals, we
announced final investment decisions on two projects in Singapore. The first will upgrade the Singapore production facilities for polyols, the raw materials used in the manufacture of high-quality foams in furniture, bedding and the automotive
industry. The second will increase capacity at the Jurong Island petrochemicals facility, adding 140 thousand tonnes per annum (tpa) each of high-purity ethylene oxide and ethoxylation capacity. Additionally, with Qatar Petroleum we announced the
award of the front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for the Al-Karaana Petrochemicals Complex project in Ras Laffan Industrial City, Qatar. In Business to
Business, we finalised an agreement with TravelCenters of America to develop a nationwide network of LNG fuelling centres for heavy-duty road transport customers at up to 100 existing sites in the USA. In Lubricants, we have formed a joint venture, Singapore Lube Park, to build and operate shared import, export and storage facilities. Alongside these shared facilities,
we will build our own lubricants oil blending plant and grease manufacturing plant with initial capacities of 350 tpa and 10 tpa respectively. In China, we opened our largest grease plant worldwide, located in Zhuhai. We continue to divest non-strategic positions. We completed the sale of the majority of our shareholding in retail and commercial fuels activities in Egypt, Ghana and
Uganda. In Ghana, our lubricants will be marketed through our joint venture with Vitol; in Egypt, we will retain the lubricants business. The agreements form part of the divestment of our shareholding in most of our downstream activities in Africa
as announced in 2011. In Manufacturing, we sold the Harburg base oil manufacturing plant and some associated refinery facilities in Germany. In Norway, in January
2014, we completed the sale of our 21% interest in the Mongstad refinery. Under the same transaction, we acquired an additional 10% interest in the Pernis refinery in the Netherlands, making this refinery again 100% owned by Shell. Also in January,
we signed an agreement for the sale of our shareholdings in the Kralupy and Litvinov refineries in the Czech Republic. In February 2014, we agreed to sell the majority of our downstream activities in Italy and Australia, subject to deal completion. The sale of interests in these refineries is in line with our global strategy to concentrate investment on large-scale sites. BUSINESS AND PROPERTY Refining MANUFACTURING We have interests in more than 30 refineries worldwide with the
capacity to process approximately 3.3 million barrels of crude oil per day. Approximately 40% of our refining capacity is in Europe and Africa, with 35% in the Americas and 25% in Asia and Oceania. The Port Arthur refinery expansion in Texas, USA,
owned by Motiva Enterprises (Shell interest 50%), restarted operations in early 2013, following operational issues in 2012. The expansion brought an additional
320 thousand b/d of capacity online in the US Gulf Coast region, increasing the refinerys total capacity to 620 thousand b/d. SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION With more than 1,500 storage tanks and approximately 150 distribution facilities in approximately 25 countries, our Supply and Distribution infrastructure is well
positioned for making deliveries throughout the world. Deliveries include feedstocks for our refineries as well as finished products for our Marketing businesses and customers worldwide.

DOWNSTREAMCONTINUED Marketing RETAIL We have retail stations in more than 70 countries and more than 100 years experience in fuel development. In recent years, we have concentrated on developing
differentiated fuels with special formulations designed to clean engines and improve performance. We sell such fuels under the Shell V-Power brand in more than 60 countries. LUBRICANTS Across approximately 100 countries we make, market and sell technically
advanced lubricants not only for passenger cars, trucks and coaches but also for industrial machinery in manufacturing, mining, power generation, agriculture and construction. We lead the global market in branded lubricants. In 2012, independent research confirmed that Shell was the most preferred passenger car engine oil brand in China,
Malaysia, Russia, Thailand and the USA. Shell was also the most preferred heavy-duty engine oil brand in China, Malaysia, Russia, Turkey and the USA. Through our
marine activities we primarily provide lubricants, but also fuels and related technical services, to the shipping and boating industries. We supply more than 100 grades of lubricants and 20 different types of fuel serving more than 15,000 vessels
worldwide, ranging from large ocean-going tankers to small fishing boats. BUSINESS TO BUSINESS Our Business to Business (B2B) activities encompass the sale of fuels and speciality products and services to a broad range of commercial customers. Shell Aviation provides fuel for approximately 7,000 aircraft every day at more than 800 airports in around 40 countries. On average, we refuel a plane every 12 seconds.

OVERVIEW The Corporate segment covers
the non-operating activities supporting Shell. It comprises Shells holdings and treasury organisation, its headquarters and central functions as well as its self-insurance activities. All finance expense and income as well as related taxes are
included in the Corporate segment earnings rather than in the earnings of the business segments. The holdings and treasury organisation manages many of the
Corporate entities and is the point of contact between Shell and the external capital markets. It conducts a broad range of transactions  from raising debt instruments to transacting foreign exchange. Treasury centres in London, Singapore and
Rio de Janeiro support these activities. Headquarters and central functions provide business support in the areas of communications, finance, health, human
resources, information technology, legal services, real estate and security. They also provide support for the shareholder-related activities of the Company. The central functions are supported by business service centres located around the world
which process transactions, manage data and produce statutory returns, among other services. The majority of the headquarters and central-function costs are recovered from the business segments. Those costs that are not recovered are retained in
Corporate. Shell mainly self-insures its risk exposures. Shell insurance subsidiaries provide insurance coverage to Shell entities, generally up to
$1.15 billion per event and usually limited to Shells percentage interest in the relevant entity. The type and extent of the coverage provided is equal to that which is otherwise commercially available in the third-party insurance market.


EARNINGS 2013-2011 Segment earnings
for 2013 were a gain of $372 million, compared with a loss of $203 million in 2012 and a gain of $102 million in 2011. Net interest and investment expense decreased
by $169 million between 2012 and 2013. Interest expense was lower, mostly driven by an increase in the amount of interest capitalised due to the continued ramp-up of projects in Australia and the Gulf of Mexico, and an improvement in the liquidity
premium associated with our currency swaps. These effects were partly offset by lower interest income. In 2012, net interest and investment expense increased by $377 million compared with 2011. Interest expense was significantly higher, mostly
driven by the liquidity premium associated with our currency swaps, and an increase in Shells share of interest expense from joint ventures and associates. Further, the amount of interest capitalised on projects declined overall as major
projects came on-stream in 2011, partly offset by the development of new projects. These effects were partly offset by higher interest income. Foreign exchange
losses of $189 million in 2013 (2012: gains of $169 million; 2011: losses of $77 million) were mainly due to the impact of exchange rates on non-functional currency loans and cash balances in operating units. Other earnings increased by $764 million in 2013 compared with 2012, mainly due to a Danish tax credit and the recharge to the business segments of certain costs which
were previously reported in Corporate. In 2012, other earnings were $174 million lower than in 2011, mainly due to increased costs partly offset by higher tax credits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We manage our businesses to deliver strong cash flows to fund investment for profitable growth. Our aim is that, across the business
cycle, cash in (including cash from operations and divestments) at least equals cash out (including capital investment, interest and dividends), while maintaining a strong balance sheet. A key measure of our capital structure management is the proportion of debt to equity. Across the business cycle we aim to manage gearing (net debt as a percentage of
total capital (net debt plus total equity)) within the range of 0-30%. During 2013, gearing ranged from 9.1% to 16.1% (2012: 8.6% to 13.9%, as restated for the retrospective application of revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits). See Note 15
to the Consolidated Financial Statements. With respect to the objective of maintaining a strong balance sheet, our priorities for applying our cash are
servicing debt commitments, paying dividends, investing for organic and inorganic growth, and returning surplus cash to our shareholders. OVERVIEW The most significant factors affecting our operating cash flow are earnings and movements in working capital, which are mainly impacted by: realised prices for crude oil
and natural gas; production levels of crude oil and natural gas; and refining and marketing margins. Since the contribution of Upstream to earnings is larger than
that of Downstream, changes affecting Upstream  particularly changes in realised crude oil and natural gas prices and production levels  have the largest impact on Shells operating cash flow. While Upstream benefits from higher
realised crude oil and natural gas prices, the extent of such benefit (and the extent of an impact from a decline in these prices) depends on: the extent to which contractual arrangements are tied to market prices; the dynamics of production-sharing
contracts; the existence of agreements with governments or national oil and gas companies that have limited sensitivity to crude oil prices; tax impacts; and the extent to which changes in commodity prices flow through into operating costs. Changes
in benchmark prices of crude oil and natural gas in any particular period therefore provide only a broad indicator of changes in Upstream earnings experienced in that period. In the


longer term, replacement of proved oil and gas reserves will affect our ability to maintain or increase production levels in Upstream, which in turn will affect our cash flow and earnings. In Downstream, changes in any one of a range of factors derived from either within the industry or the broader economic environment can influence margins. The precise
impact of any such changes depends on how the oil markets respond to them. The market response is affected by factors such as: whether the change affects all crude oil types or only a specific grade; regional and global crude-oil and
refined-products inventories; and the collective speed of response of the industry refiners and product marketers in adjusting their operations. As a result, refinery and marketing margins fluctuate from region to region and from period to period.
Downstream earnings are reported on a current cost of supplies basis, which excludes the effect of changes in the oil price on inventory carrying amounts. However, cash flow from operations is not affected by the reporting basis. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS Net cash from operating activities in 2013 was $40.4
billion, a decrease from $46.1 billion in 2012. This decrease mainly reflected the reduction in earnings and lower dividends from joint ventures and associates. In 2011, net cash from operating activities was $36.8 billion. The increase in 2012
compared with 2011 mainly reflected movements in working capital. Net cash used in investing activities was $40.1 billion in 2013, an increase from $28.4 billion in
2012. The increase was mainly the result of higher capital expenditure and lower proceeds from the sale of assets. In 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $20.4 billion. The increase in 2012 compared with 2011 was mainly due to higher
capital expenditure and investments in joint ventures and associates. Net cash used in financing activities in 2013 was $9.0 billion (2012: $10.6 billion; 2011:
$18.1 billion). This included payment of dividends to Royal Dutch Shell plc shareholders of $7.2 billion (2012: $7.4 billion; 2011: $6.9 billion), repurchases of shares of $5.0 billion (2012: $1.5 billion; 2011: $1.1 billion) and interest paid of
$1.3 billion (2012: $1.4 billion; 2011: $1.7 billion), partly offset by net debt issued of $5.4 billion (2012: issued debt offset by debt repaid; 2011: net repayments of debt of $7.1 billion). Cash and cash equivalents were $9.7 billion at December 31, 2013 (2012: $18.6 billion; 2011: $11.3 billion).

|49 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY Our
financial position is strong. In 2013, we generated a return on average capital employed (ROACE) of 7.9% (see Return on average capital employed in this section) and year-end gearing was 16.1% (2012: 9.8%, as restated). We returned $11.3
billion to our shareholders through dividends in 2013. Some of those dividends were paid out as 125.6 million shares issued to shareholders who had elected to receive new shares instead of cash. To offset the dilution created by the issuance of
those shares, 144.9 million shares were repurchased and cancelled as part of our share buyback programme. The size and scope of our businesses require a robust
financial control framework and effective management of our various risk exposures. Financial turbulence in the eurozone and the USA, and other international events continue to put significant stress on the business environment in which we operate. Our treasury and trading operations are highly centralised, and seek to manage credit exposures associated with our substantial cash, foreign exchange and commodity
positions. We diversify our cash investments across a range of financial instruments and counterparties in an effort to avoid concentrating risk in any one type of
investment or country. We carefully monitor our investments and adjust them in light of new market information. Exposure to failed financial and trading
counterparties was not material in 2013 (see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Total employer contributions to our defined benefit
pension plans in 2013 were $2.6 billion (2012: $2.3 billion) and are estimated to be $2 billion in 2014, reflecting current funding levels. See Notes 3 and 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $9.7 billion at the end of 2013 (2012: $18.6 billion). Cash and cash equivalents are held in various currencies but primarily in
dollars, euros and sterling. Total debt increased by $6.8 billion in 2013 to $44.6 billion at December 31, 2013. The total debt outstanding (excluding leases) at December 31, 2013, will mature as follows: 21% in 2014; 12% in 2015; 10% in
2016; 10% in 2017; and 47% in 2018 and beyond. The debt maturing in 2014 is expected to be repaid from a combination of cash balances and cash generated from operations. We also maintain a $7.48 billion committed credit facility that was undrawn as at December 31, 2013. This facility was put in place in December 2013, and replaced a
$5.1 billion facility; it expires in 2018 but may, by mutual agreement, be extended for a further one or two years. We believe our current working capital is
sufficient for present requirements. We satisfy our funding and working capital requirements from the cash generated by our businesses and through the issuance of external debt. Our external debt is principally financed from the international debt
capital markets through central debt programmes consisting of:  n

a $10 billion global commercial paper (CP) programme, exempt from registration under section 3 (a)(3) of the US Securities Act of 1933, with maturities not exceeding 270 days; n

a $10 billion CP programme, exempt from registration under section 4(2) of the US Securities Act of 1933, with maturities not exceeding 397 days; n

$25 billion euro medium-term note (EMTN) programme; and n

an unlimited US universal shelf (US shelf) registration.


All CP, EMTN and US shelf issuances have been undertaken by Shell International Finance B.V., the issuance company for
Shell, and are guaranteed by Royal Dutch Shell plc. Further information is included in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In 2013, we took advantage of favourable market conditions, including historically low interest rates, to pre-finance bond maturities in 2014 and issued $7.75 billion of
long-term bonds under the US shelf registration. Periodically, for working capital purposes, we issued commercial paper (2012: we issued commercial paper and $4.25 billion of long-term bonds). Our $7.48 billion committed credit facility and internally available liquidity provide back-up coverage for commercial paper. Other than certain borrowings in local
subsidiaries, we do not have any other committed credit facilities. We consider additional facilities to be neither necessary nor cost-effective for financing purposes, given our size, credit rating and cash-generative nature. The maturity profile of our outstanding commercial paper is actively managed in an effort to ensure that the amount of commercial paper maturing within 30 days remains
consistent with the level of supporting liquidity. While our subsidiaries are subject to restrictions, such as foreign withholding taxes on the transfer of funds in
the form of cash dividends, loans or advances, such restrictions are not expected to have a material impact on our ability to meet our cash obligations. The
consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges of Shell for each of five years ended December 31, 2009-2013, is as follows:  RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES2013

with effect from January 1, 2013. See Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For the purposes of the table above, earnings consist of pre-tax
income from continuing operations (before adjustment for non-controlling interest) plus fixed charges (excluding capitalised interest) less undistributed income of joint ventures and associates. Fixed charges consist of expensed and capitalised
interest (excluding accretion expense) plus interest within rental expenses (for operating leases). Refer to Exhibit 7.1 regarding the calculation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges.  CAPITALISATION TABLE

|LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESCONTINUED

DIVIDENDS Our policy is to grow the
US dollar dividend through time in line with our view of Shells underlying earnings and cash flow. When setting the dividend, the Board of Directors looks at a range of factors, including the macro environment, the current balance sheet and
future investment plans. We have announced an interim dividend in respect of the fourth quarter of 2013 of $0.45 per share, a 4.7% increase compared with the US dollar dividend for the same quarter of 2012. Shareholders have a choice to receive
dividends in cash or in shares via our Scrip Dividend Programme. The Board expects that the first-quarter 2014 interim dividend will be $0.47 per share, an increase of 4.4% compared with the US dollar dividend
for the same quarter of 2013. NET CAPITAL INVESTMENT Our net capital investment
was $44.3 billion in 2013 (2012: $29.8 billion; 2011: $23.5 billion). Of the total net capital investment, $39.2 billion (2012: $25.3 billion; 2011: $19.1 billion) related to Upstream; $4.9 billion (2012: $4.3 billion; 2011: $4.3 billion)
to Downstream; and $0.2 billion (2012: $0.2 billion; 2011: $0.1 billion) to Corporate.


Our 2013 net capital investment comprised $46.0 billion of capital investment (2012: $36.8 billion; 2011: $31.1 billion)
less $1.7 billion of divestment proceeds (2012: $7.0 billion; 2011: $7.5 billion). See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. PURCHASES OF SECURITIES On May 21, 2013, the shareholders approved an
authority, which will expire at the end of the 2014 Annual General Meeting (AGM), for the Company to repurchase up to 637 million of its shares. In accordance with a similar authority granted at the 2012 AGM, a share buyback programme was
commenced in that year to offset the dilution created by the issuance of shares under our Scrip Dividend Programme. All of the shares purchased under the buyback programme are cancelled. A resolution will be proposed at the 2014 AGM to renew
authority for the Company to purchase its own share capital up to specified limits for another year. Shares are also purchased by the employee share ownership trusts (see the Directors Report) to meet delivery commitments under employee
share plans. All share purchases are made in open-market transactions. The table below provides information on purchases of shares in 2013 and up to February 18,
2014, by the issuer and affiliated purchasers. Purchases in euros and sterling are converted to dollars using the exchange rate at each transaction date.

Statements. [B] Includes interest. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. [C] See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. [D]
Includes all significant items, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or any agreement to purchase goods and services that is enforceable, legally binding and specifies variable price provisions; and the approximate
timing of the purchase. [E] Includes all obligations included in Trade and other payables in Non-current liabilities on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet that are contractually fixed as to timing and amount. In addition to these amounts, Shell has certain obligations that are not contractually fixed as to timing and amount, including contributions to defined
benefit pension plans (see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and obligations associated with decommissioning and restoration (see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The table above excludes interest expense related to debt, which is estimated to be $1.2 billion payable in less than one year, $2.0 billion payable between
one and three years, $1.6 billion payable between three and five years, and $7.1 billion payable in five years and later. For this purpose, we assume that interest rates with respect to variable interest rate debt remain constant and that
there is no change in the aggregate principal amount of debt other than repayment at scheduled maturity as reflected in the table. GUARANTEES AND OTHER OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS Guarantees at December 31, 2013, were $3.1 billion (2012: $3.3 billion). This includes $2.2 billion (2012: $2.2 billion)
of guarantees of debt of joint ventures and associates, for which the largest amount outstanding during 2013 was $2.2 billion (2012: $2.2 billion). RETURN ON AVERAGE CAPITAL EMPLOYED ROACE measures the efficiency of Shells
utilisation of the capital that it employs. In this calculation, ROACE is defined as income for the


period adjusted for after-tax interest expense as a percentage of the average capital employed for the period. Capital employed consists of total equity, current debt and non-current debt. The
tax rate is derived from calculations at the published segment level.  CALCULATION OF RETURN ON AVERAGE

16.6% [A] Restated for the retrospective application of revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits, adopted with effect from January 1, 2013. See
Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In 2013, about 31% of our average capital employed was not generating any revenue, which reduced our
ROACE by approximately 4%. These assets included projects being developed and exploration acreage. FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE ROYAL DUTCH SHELL DIVIDEND
ACCESS TRUST The results of operations and financial position of the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust (the Trust) are included in the consolidated results of
operations and financial position of Shell. Certain condensed financial information in respect of the Trust is given below. See Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements for separate financial statements for the Trust. For the years 2013, 2012 and 2011 the Trust recorded income before tax of £2,361 million, £2,383 million and £2,175 million
respectively. In each period this reflected the amount of dividends received on the dividend access share. At December 31, 2013, the Trust had total equity of
£nil (2012: £nil; 2011: £nil), reflecting cash of £1,333,658 (2012: £1,202,271; 2011: £997,987) and unclaimed dividends of £1,333,658 (2012: £1,202,271; 2011: £997,987). The Trust only records a
liability for an unclaimed dividend, and a corresponding amount of cash, to the extent that cheques expire, which is one year after their issuance, or to the extent that they are returned unpresented.

OUR PEOPLE Our people are central to our aim of being the worlds most competitive and innovative energy company. We recruit, train and
recompense according to a people strategy based on three priorities: resourcing and developing talent now and in the future; strengthening leadership and professionalism; and enhancing individual and organisational performance. EMPLOYEE OVERVIEW During 2013, Shell employed an average of 92,000 people in more
than 70 countries. We continued to recruit externally to execute our strategy and growth plans for the future, hiring approximately 1,200 graduates and 3,200 experienced professionals. The majority of each came from technical disciplines. More
than 30% of our graduate recruits came from universities outside Europe and the Americas in response toincreasing demand for skilled people in other regions. The table below shows our average employee numbers by geographical area. The increase in 2013 compared with 2012 reflects our growth strategy in Asia and North America,
as well as the impact of IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, which resulted in the inclusion of the Shell share of the employees of certain additional joint operations from January 1, 2013.  EMPLOYEES BY GEOGRAPHICAL AREA

90 EMPLOYEE COMMUNICATION AND INVOLVEMENT Shell strives
to create and maintain a healthy employee relations climate, in which two-way dialogue between management and staff  directly and, where appropriate, via employee representative bodies  is important and embedded in our work practices. On
a quarterly basis, senior management briefs employees on Shells operational and financial results through various channels, including team meetings, face-to-face gatherings, a personal email from the Chief Executive Officer, webcasts and
online publications. The Shell People Survey is one of the principal tools used to measure employee engagement: the degree of affiliation and commitment to Shell.
It provides insights into employees views, and has had a consistently high response rate. The average employee engagement score in 2013 was 80% favourable, a three-point increase from 2012. We promote safe reporting of views about our processes and practices. In addition to local channels, our global telephone helpline and website enable employees to report
potential breaches of the Shell General Business Principles and Code of Conduct, confidentially and anonymously. DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION We have a culture that embraces diversity and fosters inclusion. By embedding these principles in our operations, we have a better understanding of the needs of our
varied customers, partners and stakeholders throughout the world and can benefit from a wider talent


pool. We provide equal opportunity in recruitment, career development, promotion, training and reward for all employees, including those with disabilities. Where possible, we make reasonable
adjustments in job design and provide appropriate training for employees who have become disabled. We actively monitor representation of women and local nationals
in senior leadership positions, and have talent-development processes to support us in delivering more diverse representation. At the end of 2013, the proportion of women in senior leadership positions was 17.2% compared with 16.2% in 2012. In 32%
of the countries where Shell subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are based, local nationals filled more than half of the senior leadership positions, compared with 42% of those countries in 2012. From 2014, we will no longer apply this
metric, as it does not reflect expatriation of local nationals for talent development purposes. Instead, we will start using a revised metric that better represents our activities in this respect. Senior leadership positions is a Shell measure based on senior salary group levels and is distinct from the term senior manager in the statutory disclosures
set out below.  GENDER DIVERSITY

Committee members who were not Directors of the Company as well as other directors of Shell subsidiaries. EMPLOYEE SHARE PLANS Shell has a number of share plans designed to align employees interests with Shells performance through share ownership. For information on the share-based
compensation plans for Executive Directors, see the Directors Remuneration Report. Performance Share Plan The Performance Share Plan (PSP) was introduced in 2005. Conditional awards of the Companys shares are made under the terms of the PSP to some 15,000 employees
each year. The extent to which the awards vest is determined over a three-year performance period. Half of the award is linked to the key performance indicators described in Performance Indicators, averaged over the period. The other
half of the award is linked to a comparison with four of our main competitors over the period on the basis of four relative performance measures. All shares that vest are increased by an amount equal to the notional dividends accrued on those shares
during the period from the award date to the vesting date. None of the awards results in beneficial ownership until the shares vest. See Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Restricted Share Plan Under the Restricted Share Plan, awards are made on a highly
selective basis to senior staff. Shares are awarded subject to a three-year retention period. All shares that vest are increased by an amount equal to the notional dividends accrued on those shares during the period from the award date to the
vesting date. Global Employee Share Purchase Plan Eligible employees in
participating countries may participate in the Global Employee Share Purchase Plan. This plan enables them to make contributions from net pay towards the purchase of the Companys shares at a 15% discount to the market price either at the start
or at the end of an annual cycle  whichever date offers the lower market price.

ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY Our success in business depends on our ability to meet a range of environmental and social challenges. We must show we can operate safely
and manage the effect our activities can have on neighbouring communities and society as a whole. If we fail to do this, we may incur liabilities or sanctions, lose opportunities to do business, our reputation as a company may be harmed, and our
licence to operate may be impacted. The Shell General Business Principles include a commitment to sustainable development that involves balancing short- and
long-term interests, and integrating economic, environmental and social aspects into our business decisions. We have rigorous standards and a firm governance structure in place to help manage potential impacts. We also work with communities,
business partners, non-governmental organisations and other bodies to address potential impacts and share the benefits of our operations and projects. Data in this section are reported on a 100% basis in respect of activities where we are the operator. Reporting on this operational control basis differs from that
applied for financial reporting purposes in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Detailed data and information on our 2013 environmental and social performance will be published in April 2014 in the Shell Sustainability Report. SAFETY Sustaining our licence to operate depends on maintaining the safety and
reliability of our operations. We manage safety risk across our businesses through controls and compliance systems combined with a safety-focused culture. Our global standards and operating procedures define the controls and physical barriers we
require to prevent incidents. For example, our offshore wells are designed with at least two independent barriers to mitigate the risk of an uncontrolled release of hydrocarbons. We regularly inspect, test and maintain these barriers to ensure they
meet our standards. We also routinely prepare and practise our emergency response to potential incidents such as an oil spill or a fire. This involves working closely with local agencies to jointly test our plans and procedures. The tests
continually improve our readiness to respond. If an incident does occur, we have procedures in place to reduce the impact on people and the environment. We continue
to strengthen the safety culture among our employees and contractors. We expect everyone working for us to intervene and stop work that may appear to be unsafe. In addition to our ongoing safety awareness programmes, we hold an annual global safety
day to give workers time to reflect on how to prevent incidents. We expect everyone working for us to comply with our 12 mandatory Life-Saving Rules. If employees break these rules, they will face disciplinary action up to and including
termination of employment. If contractors break the Life-Saving Rules, they can be removed from the worksite. CLIMATE CHANGE Growth in energy demand means that all sources of energy will be needed over the longer term. With hydrocarbons forecast to provide the bulk of the energy needed over
coming decades, policymakers are focusing on regulations that balance energy demand with environmental concerns. The management of emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) will become increasingly
important as concerns over climate change lead to tighter environmental regulation. We already assess potential costs associated with CO2 emissions when evaluating projects. But in the years to come, governments may impose a price on CO2 emissions that all companies will
have to incorporate in their investment plans, and may also require companies to apply technical measures to reduce their CO2 emissions. This could result in higher energy, product and
project costs. Currently enacted, proposed and future legislation are also expected to increase the cost


of doing business. Furthermore, in our own operations, we are working to understand the potential physical impact of
climate change in the future on our facilities and new projects. As energy demand increases and easily accessible oil and gas resources decline, we are developing
resources that require more energy and require advanced technology to produce. As our production becomes more energy intensive, we expect there will be an associated increase in the direct CO2
emissions from the Upstream facilities we operate. We are seeking cost-effective ways to manage CO2 emissions
and see potential business opportunities in developing such solutions. Our main contributions to reducing CO2 emissions are in four areas: supplying more natural gas; supplying more biofuels;
progressing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies; and implementing energy efficiency measures in our operations. According to the International Energy
Agency (IEA), nearly one-third of the worlds CO2 emissions come from power generation. For many countries, using more gas in power generation instead of coal can make the largest
contribution, at the lowest cost, to meeting their emission reduction objectives this decade. We expect that, in combination with renewables and use of CCS, natural gas will be essential for significantly lower CO2 emissions beyond 2020. With Shells leading position in LNG and new technologies for recovering natural gas from tight rock formations, we can supply natural gas to replace coal in power
generation. We believe that low-carbon biofuels are one of the most viable ways to reduce CO2 from transport
fuels in the coming years. Our Raízen joint venture in Brazil produces low-carbon biofuel from sugar cane. We are also investing in research to help develop and commercialise advanced biofuels. The IEA has stated that CCS could contribute around 15% of the CO2 mitigation effort required by 2050. To advance
CCS technologies, Shell is involved in CCS projects including the Quest project in Canada, the Mongstad test centre in Norway, and the Gorgon CO2 injection project in Australia. In 2012, we
submitted a proposal for a project in Peterhead, in the UK, to store CO2 in a depleted gas reservoir in the North Sea. In 2014, Shell signed an agreement with the UK government to progress
detailed design of the Peterhead CCS project. It could potentially capture and store around 10 million tonnes of CO2 over 10 years from a gas-fired power station. The current projects are
part of an important demonstration phase for CCS, during which government support is essential. Initiatives such as the United Nations acceptance of CCS as an offsetting activity under the Clean Development Mechanism are a positive step in
progressing such technologies. We continue to work on improving energy efficiency at our oil and gas production projects, oil refineries and chemical plants.
Measures include our CO2 and energy management programme that focuses on the efficient operation of existing equipment by using monitoring systems which give us instant information that we can
use to make energy-saving changes. In addition, we work to help our customers conserve energy and reduce their
CO2 emissions, including through the development and sale of advanced fuels and lubricants. The flaring, or
burning off, of gas in our Upstream business contributed to our overall greenhouse gas emissions in 2013. The majority of this flaring takes place at facilities where there is no infrastructure to capture the gas produced with oil, known as
associated gas. Most of the continuous flaring takes place in Nigeria, where the security situation and lack of partner funding continues to slow progress on projects to capture associated gas. The Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Ltd
(SPDC) has a multi-year programme in place to install new gas-gathering facilities and repair existing facilities damaged during the

militant crisis of 2006 to 2009, although progress in 2013 was hindered due to deterioration of the security situation in the Niger Delta. SPDC is also working on projects to further reduce
flaring. Progress will depend on continued partner support, the local security conditions and the development of an effective market for gas in Nigeria. In line
with increased oil production, the amount of flaring of natural gas produced with oil at Majnoon, in Iraq, increased during 2013. We expect gas flaring from these operations to continue to rise in coming years as oil production increases. We are
working with our joint-venture partners to evaluate options to capture the gas that is flared during operations, for use in power generation. In May 2013, the Basrah Gas Company (BGC) commenced operations in the south of Iraq. BGC is a joint venture
between Shell, South Gas Company and Mitsubishi Corporation. It is the largest gas project in Iraqs history and the worlds largest flaring reduction project. BGC aims to capture associated gas that is currently being flared from three
non-operated oil fields in southern Iraq (Rumaila, West Qurna 1 and Zubair) for use in the domestic market. Greenhouse gas emissions data are provided below in
accordance with UK regulations introduced in 2013. Greenhouse gas emissions comprise carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride. The data are calculated using locally regulated methods where
they exist. Where there is no locally regulated method, the data are calculated using the 2009 API Compendium which is the recognised industry standard under the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. There are inherent
limitations to the accuracy of such data. Oil and gas industry guidelines (IPIECA/API/OGP) indicate that a number of sources of uncertainty can contribute to the overall uncertainty of a corporate emissions inventory.  GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

of crude oil, oil products and chemicals associated with our operations can result in major clean-up costs as well as fines and other damages. They can also affect our licence to operate and harm our reputation. We have clear requirements and
procedures designed to prevent spills, and multibillion dollar programmes are underway to maintain or improve our facilities and pipelines. Shell business units are
responsible for organising and executing oil spill responses in line with Shell guidelines as well as with national legislation. All our offshore installations have plans in place to respond to a spill. These plans detail response strategies and
techniques, available equipment, and trained personnel and contacts. We are


able to call upon significant resources such as containment booms, collection vessels and aircraft. We are also able to draw upon the contracted services of oil spill response organisations, if
required. We conduct regular exercises to ensure these plans remain effective. Shell is a founding member of the Marine Well Containment Company, a non-profit
industry consortium to provide a containment response system for the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, Shell is operating the Subsea Well Response Project, an industry cooperative effort to enhance global well-containment capabilities. Shell also maintains site-specific emergency response plans in the event of an onshore spill. Like the offshore response plans, these are designed to meet Shell
guidelines as well as relevant legal and regulatory requirements. They also provide for the initial assessment of incidents and the mobilisation of resources needed to manage them. In 2013, the number of operational spills of more than 100 kilograms decreased to 174, down from 207 in 2012. The number for 2012 was updated to 207 from 204 to reflect
the completion of investigations into spills. At the end of February 2014, there were six spills under investigation in Nigeria that may result in adjustments. Although oil spills in Nigeria resulting from sabotage and theft of crude oil remain a significant challenge, there are instances where spills occur in our operations
due to operational failures, accidents or corrosion. SPDC has been working to reduce operational spills that are under its control. It maintains a public website to track the response, investigation and clean-up of every spill from its facilities
due to operational failure, sabotage or theft. In 2011, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) released a study of oil spills in Ogoniland, where SPDC
operated until 1993. SPDC accepted the recommendations of the UNEP report, and has established an independent scientific advisory panel to review SPDC practices in the rehabilitation and remediation of oil spill sites in the Niger Delta. In July
2012, the Federal Government of Nigeria established the Hydrocarbon Pollution Restoration Project  an essential first step to implement the recommendations of the UNEP report. Since the release of the UNEP report, SPDC has investigated the 15
sites identified in the report and, where required, they have been remediated despite cases of re-contamination from oil theft and illegal refining. The sites were subsequently certified by the local
regulatory body as being in compliance with both soil and groundwater remediation requirements. In addition, SPDC has initiated a quarterly post-certification monitoring process for all 15 sites designed to detect re-contamination in a timely
manner. SPDC has also undertaken a range of interim activities in Ogoniland where it was free to do so, including helping fund the provision of emergency water supplies and installing permanent water facilities in one affected area, launching a
community health outreach programme across Ogoniland, and cleaning up a number of sites. The response to the UNEP report requires a joint effort by all stakeholders, and SPDC intends to play its full part. HYDRAULIC FRACTURING Over the last decade, we have expanded our onshore oil and gas
portfolio using advances in technology to access previously uneconomic tight-oil and gas resources, including those locked in shale formations. One of the key
technologies applied in tight-oil and tight-gas fields is known as hydraulic fracturing, a technique that has been used since the 1950s. It involves pumping a mixture of water, sand and chemical additives at very high pressure into a rock formation,
creating tiny fissures through which oil and gas can flow. To protect and isolate potable groundwater from hydraulic-fracturing fluids in the wellbore, we line our tight-oil and tight-gas wells with steel casing and cement.

ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETYCONTINUED All of our oil and gas wells are expected to have two or more subsurface barriers to protect groundwater. We monitor a wellbores
integrity during and, in many cases, after hydraulic fracturing. When we acquire assets, we evaluate the assets wells for conformity with our safety and operating principles, and put in place a plan with a timeline for rectifying any
inconsistencies. We recycle or reuse as much water as we believe is reasonably practical. We store, treat or dispose of water in accordance with regulatory
requirements. To the extent allowed by our suppliers, Shell makes the material safety data sheet information available for locations where wells are being
hydraulically fractured. Shell supports regulation to require suppliers to release such information. The chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing will vary from well to well and from contractor to contractor, but some can be toxic. For that reason, we
have stringent procedures for handling hydraulic-fracturing chemicals in accordance with the design and assurance processes described above. The formations into which these additives may be injected are typically more than a thousand metres below
freshwater aquifers. Our procedures require that potable groundwater must be isolated from well completion and production activities. Moreover, we only use air, water or a water-based liquid while drilling through the potable groundwater aquifer to
a depth considerably below the aquifer. The casing and cement are then put in place before drilling is resumed and hydraulic fracturing is initiated. There have
been reports linking hydraulic fracturing to earth tremors. Most seismic events occur naturally due to motion along faults under stress in the earths crust. Some areas are more seismically active than others. While around 1 million wells in
the USA have been hydraulically fractured, there have been relatively few reported cases of seismicity detected at the surface near the time and vicinity of such operations. Shell analyses publicly available seismic, geologic and geophysical data to
determine historical seismicity in areas where we plan to operate, and if seismic activity beyond historic levels is detected, we will investigate and review our operations. Some jurisdictions are considering more stringent permitting, well-construction and other regulations relating to fracturing, as well as local bans and other land use
restrictions. Such regulations could subject our operations to delays, increased costs or prohibitions. We have adopted a set of five operating principles for all our onshore tight-gas and oil activities. Our minimum current standards exceed the
existing regulatory requirements of most jurisdictions. OIL SANDS We are
developing mineable oil sands resources in Alberta, Canada. We use warm water to remove bitumen, which is a heavy oil. Tailings are the residual by-products that remain after the bitumen is separated from the mined oil sands ore. They are composed
of some residual bitumen, water, sand, silt, heavy metals, and clay particles. Tailings are stored in an above-ground tailings pond or in mined-out pits. Tailings contain naturally occurring chemicals that are toxic. We monitor them continuously,
assess their potential environmental impact, and take measures to protect wildlife and to prevent contamination of surface water and groundwater. The tailings management areas at the Athabasca Oil Sands Projects Muskeg River and Jackpine mines
cover an area of approximately 24 square kilometres. The land that is mined must be reclaimed  for example, through revegetation or reforestation  to a
capability equivalent to that which existed prior to development, as required by the Alberta government.


When dried, tailings are blended and treated to produce material suitable for use in land reclamation. We continue to experience challenges with regard to certain tailings that are fine and have
a high liquid content. We are working with the Alberta Energy Regulator to ensure that we are in compliance with all oil sands regulatory requirements, including those regarding tailings. We also continue to work on tailings technology and collaborate with research institutions and other operators to advance solutions and ultimately accelerate the pace of
land reclamation. In late 2010, we found water at the bottom of a section of a pit at the Muskeg River Mine. The water was confirmed to be saline and to originate
from an aquifer below the mine pit. There has been no inflow from or outflow to the aquifer since January 2012 and we continue to work closely with industry experts to develop a permanent solution. The water is contained within a segregated area in
the pit. EXPLORATION IN ALASKA We hold more than 410 federal leases for
exploration in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas in Alaska. We previously operated for almost 50 years in Alaska, including in both these seas, until 1998. We are therefore familiar with these shallow waters and the hydrocarbon reservoirs beneath
them, which are of relatively low pressure. Our preparations to explore for oil in 2012 followed a number of years of work to lay the foundations for the responsible development of the areas potential resources. We have worked closely with
regulators, local communities and other organisations as we move forward in the face of a changing regulatory environment. To prepare for drilling off the coast of
Alaska, we have developed a thorough oil spill response capability that includes capping and containment equipment, and oil spill response vessels. In 2012, we
completed top-hole drilling operations. These were conducted safely and in an environmentally responsible manner. This work has prepared the ground for continued drilling. However, there were challenges. For example, in consistently meeting all
requirements of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency air permits and in moving the Kulluk drilling rig out of Alaska after the drilling season ended. In 2013, we paused our exploration drilling activity in Alaskas Beaufort and Chukchi seas to
prepare equipment and plans for a resumption of activity. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is expected to issue a final report in 2014 on its Marine Casualty
Investigation related to the grounding of the Kulluk. The USCG and the U.S. Department of Justice are conducting an investigation of potential marine pollution violations by one of Shells drilling contractors. The timing of the conclusion and
outcome of these investigations is unknown. A US Ninth Circuit Court decision against the Department of the Interior in January 2014 raises obstacles to our plans
for drilling offshore Alaska. As a result, we have decided to suspend our exploration programme for Alaska for 2014. We will look to relevant agencies and the court to resolve their open legal issues as quickly as possible, and review our options in
going forward. If the legal and regulatory obstacles are sufficiently resolved, the next steps of our exploration programme will be determined by the readiness of our offshore Alaska fleet and the timeline to secure necessary permits. WATER Global demand for fresh water is growing while access to fresh water is
becoming more constrained in some parts of the world. It is estimated by the United Nations that by 2025 two-thirds of the worlds population will live in areas where the demand for fresh water exceeds the available supply, or where the
waters poor quality restricts its use.

|57 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY

As world energy demand rises, the energy industry is becoming one of the larger industrial consumers of fresh water
globally. Shells water footprint may expand in the future with the further development of shale oil and gas, oil sands, and our biofuel business. A combination of increasing demand for water resources, growing stakeholder expectations and
concerns, and water-related legislation may drive actions that affect our ability to secure access to fresh water and to discharge water from our operations. At our
major facilities in water-scarce areas, we are developing water-management plans that include ways to minimise water use and increase water recycling. At our oil
sands operations in Canada we use far less than our water allocation from the Athabasca River, and we minimise the amount withdrawn during the winter months, when the flow rate is low. We also reduce the amount of fresh water needed in operations by
recycling water from the tailings ponds. About 80% of the water we use is recycled, and we are investigating new ways to further reduce fresh water intake. Our
Pearl GTL plant in Qatar does not take fresh water from its arid surroundings, and water produced in the GTL manufacturing process is recycled in the operation. BIOFUELS The international market for biofuels is growing, driven largely by the
introduction of new energy policies in Europe and the USA that call for more renewable, lower-carbon fuels for transport. Shell predicts that biofuels will increase from 3% of the global transport fuel mix today to around 10% by 2050. Sustainable
biofuels are expected to play an increasingly important role in helping to meet our customers fuel needs and reduce CO2 emissions. Sustainability challenges exist with todays biofuels. These include: CO2 emissions that vary according to
the raw materials, and the production and distribution processes used; competition with food crops for available land; and labour rights. We are one of the
worlds largest biofuels producers. We include our own long-established sustainability clauses in our supply contracts and, where possible, we source biofuels that have been certified against internationally recognised sustainability standards.
These clauses are designed to prevent the sourcing of biofuels from suppliers that may not abide by human rights guidelines, or that may have cleared land rich in biodiversity. We are also developing our own capabilities to produce sustainable biofuel components. The Raízen joint venture produces approximately 2 billion litres
annually of ethanol from sugar cane in Brazil  the most sustainable and cost-competitive of todays biofuels. This ethanol can reduce CO2 emissions by around 70% compared with
gasoline, from cultivation of the sugar cane to using the ethanol as fuel. The joint-venture agreement includes developing joint sustainability principles,
standards and operating procedures that also apply to third-party suppliers. We also continue to work with industry, governments and voluntary organisations towards the development of global sustainability standards for biofuels. We continue to invest in developing more advanced biofuels for the future. These new technologies will take time to reach commercial scale. Government support will be
required to accelerate their speed of development. ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS We are
subject to a variety of environmental laws, regulations and reporting requirements in the countries where we operate. Infringing


any of these laws, regulations and requirements could result in significant costs, including clean-up costs, fines, sanctions, and third-party claims, as well as harm our ability to do business
and our reputation. Our ongoing operating expenses include the costs of avoiding unauthorised discharges into the air and water, and the safe disposal and handling
of waste. We place a premium on developing effective technologies that are also safe for the environment. However, when operating at the forefront of technology,
there is always the possibility that a new technology brings with it environmental impacts that have not been assessed, foreseen or determined to be harmful, when originally implemented. While we believe we take all reasonable precautions to limit
these risks, we are subject to additional remedial environmental and litigation costs as a result of our operations unknown and unforeseen impacts on the environment. Although these costs have so far not been material to Shell, no assurance
can be made that this will always be the case. In this regard, as oil and gas fields mature, it is possible in certain circumstances for seismic activity to
increase based on the unique geology of individual fields. For example, after more than 60 years of developing the Groningen gas field in the Netherlands, seismic activity has recently increased leading to measurable earth tremors. Our Dutch joint
venture will follow the production plan that is expected to be formally approved in 2014 by the Minister of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands. NEIGHBOURING COMMUNITIES AND HUMAN RIGHTS Earning the trust of
local communities is essential to the success of our projects and operations. We have global requirements for social performance  how we perform in our relationship with communities. The requirements set clear rules and expectations for how we
engage with and respect communities that may be impacted by our operations. Shell-operated major projects and facilities are required to have a social performance plan. This helps the business to understand the social context in which we plan to
operate, identifies potential negative effects on the community, and manages impacts. In addition, we have specific requirements intended to minimise our impact on indigenous peoples traditional lifestyles, and on handling involuntary
resettlement and community feedback. Shell has long been involved with developments in business and human rights in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business
and Human Rights. The Shell General Business Principles and Code of Conduct require our employees and contractors to respect the human rights of fellow workers and communities where we operate. We have specific policies in place in areas across Shells activities where respect for human rights is particularly important to the way we operate, such as

DIRECTORS REPORT MANAGEMENT REPORT This Directors Report,
together with the Strategic Report on pages 6-57, serves as the Management Report for the purpose of Disclosure and Transparency Rule 4.1.8R. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND DIVIDENDS The Consolidated Statement of Income
and Consolidated Balance Sheet can be found on pages 101 and 102 respectively. The table below sets out the dividends on each class of share and each

[A] ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols RDS.A and RDS.B. Each ADS represents two shares  two A shares in the case of RDS.A or two
B shares in the case of RDS.B. Dividends on A shares are paid by default in euros, although holders are able to elect to receive dividends in sterling. Dividends on
B shares are paid by default in sterling, although holders are able to elect to receive dividends in euros. Dividends on ADSs are paid in US dollars. The Company
has a Scrip Dividend Programme which enables shareholders to increase their shareholding by choosing to receive new shares instead of cash dividends, if approved by the Board. Only new A shares are issued under the programme, including to
shareholders who hold B shares. Full details of the programme can be found at www.shell.com/dividend. The Directors have announced a fourth-quarter interim dividend
as set out in the table below, payable on March 27, 2014, to shareholders on the Register of Members at close of business on February 14, 2014. The closing date for scrip election and dividend currency election was February 28, 2014

holding shares in a securities account with a bank or other financial institution ultimately holding through Euroclear Nederland. Such shareholders can obtain the applicable deadlines from their broker, financial intermediary, bank or other
financial institution where they hold their securities account. A different scrip election date may also apply to registered and non-registered ADS holders. Registered ADS holders can contact The Bank of New York Mellon for the applicable deadline.
Non-registered ADS holders can contact their broker, financial intermediary, bank or other financial institution for the applicable election deadline.


DIRECTORS RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF THE PREPARATION OF THE ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report including the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires
the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have prepared the Consolidated and Parent Company Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as
adopted by the European Union (EU). In preparing these financial statements, the Directors have also elected to comply with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Under company law the Directors must not approve the
financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of Shell and the Company and of the profit or loss of Shell and the Company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the
Directors are required to:  n

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; n

make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and n

state whether IFRS as adopted by the EU and IFRS as issued by the IASB have been followed. The Directors are responsible
for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the transactions of Shell and the Company and disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any time, the financial position of Shell and the Company and to enable them to
ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and, as regards the Consolidated Financial Statements, with Article 4 of the IAS Regulation and therefore are in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU. The Directors are
also responsible for safeguarding the assets of Shell and the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Each of the Directors, whose names and functions can be found on pages 58-59, confirms that, to the best of their knowledge:  n

the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, and with IFRS as issued by the IASB, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit
of Shell and the Company; and n

the Management Report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of Shell, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that it faces. Furthermore, so far as each of the Directors is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the auditors are unaware, and each of the
Directors has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken in order to become aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

|62 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | REPORTS.SHELL.COM



DIRECTORS REPORTCONTINUED The Directors consider that the Annual Report including the financial statements, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable
and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess Shells performance, business model and strategy. The Directors are responsible for the
maintenance and integrity of the Shell website (www.shell.com). Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. GOING CONCERN The Strategic Report includes information about
Shells financial strategy, financial condition, and liquidity and cash flows, as well as the factors, including the principal risks, likely to affect Shells future development. Further information on the management of Shells
capital structure and use of financial instruments to support its operating plan can be found in Notes 15 and 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements respectively. Shells operating plan for the foreseeable future demonstrates its ability to operate its cash-generating activities, selling products to a diversified customer
base. These activities are expected to generate sufficient cash to enable Shell to service its financing requirements, pay dividends and fund its investing activities. As a result, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that Shell has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements contained in this Report. REPURCHASES OF SHARES On May 21, 2013, shareholders approved an authority,
which will expire at the end of the 2014 AGM, for the Company to repurchase up to a maximum of 637 million of its shares (excluding purchases for employee share plans). During 2013, 144.9 million B shares with a nominal value of 10.1 million ($12.2 million) (2.3% of the Companys issued share capital at December 31, 2013) were purchased for cancellation for a total cost of $5.0 billion
including expenses, at an average price of $34.51 per B share. The purpose of the share buyback programme is to offset dilution created by the issuance of shares for the Companys Scrip Dividend Programme. From January 1, 2014, to February 18, 2014, a further 20.3 million B shares (0.3% of the Companys issued share capital at December 31, 2013) were
purchased for cancellation for a total cost of $0.8 billion including expenses, at an average price of $37.46 per B share. The Board continues to regard the ability
to repurchase issued shares in suitable circumstances as an important part of the financial management of the Company. A resolution will be proposed at the 2014 AGM to renew the authority for the Company to purchase its own share capital up to
specified limits for a further year. More detail of this proposal is given in the Notice of the AGM. BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Directors during the year were Josef Ackermann, Guy Elliott, Simon Henry, Charles O. Holliday, Gerard Kleisterlee, Christine Morin-Postel (who stood down on
May 21, 2013), Jorma Ollila, Sir Nigel Sheinwald, Linda G. Stuntz, Jeroen van der Veer (who stood down on May 21, 2013), Peter Voser (who stood down on December 31, 2013), Hans Wijers and Gerrit Zalm. [A] [A] Ben van Beurden was appointed a Director with effect from January 1, 2014.


APPOINTMENT AND REAPPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS In line with the UK Corporate Governance Code, all Directors will retire at the 2014 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and, subject to the Articles of Association and their
wish to continue as a Director of the Company, seek reappointment by shareholders. This will include Ben van Beurden who was appointed as a Director of the Company by the Board with effect from January 1, 2014. Josef Ackermann will not be seeking
reappointment and will be standing down at the close of business of the 2014 AGM after having served as a Non-executive Director since May 2008. Shareholders will also be asked to vote on the appointment of Euleen Goh and
Patricia A. Woertz as Directors of the Company with effect from September 1, 2014, and June 1, 2014, respectively. The biographies of all current
Directors are given on pages 58-59 and, for those seeking appointment or reappointment, also in the Notice of the AGM. Details of the Executive Directors contracts can be found on page 84 and copies are available for inspection from the
Company Secretary. Furthermore, a copy of the form of these contracts has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit. The terms and
conditions of appointment of Non-executive Directors are set out in their letters of appointment with the Company which, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, are available for inspection from the Company Secretary. No Director is, or was, materially interested in any contract subsisting during or at the end of the year that was significant in relation to the Companys
business. See also Related party transactions below. DIRECTORS INTERESTS The interests (in shares of the Company or calculated equivalents) of the Directors in office at the end of the year, including any interests of a connected
person (as defined in the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UKs Financial Conduct Authority), can be found in the Directors Remuneration Report on pages 92-93. Changes in Directors share interests during the period from December 31, 2013, to March 12, 2014, including changes in the interests in shares or options
awarded under the Long-term Incentive Plan, the Deferred Bonus Plan and the share option plans, can also be found in the Directors Remuneration Report on pages 92-93. QUALIFYING THIRD-PARTY INDEMNITIES The Company has entered into a deed of indemnity
with each Director who served during the year under identical terms. The deeds indemnify the Directors to the widest extent permitted by the applicable laws of England against all liability incurred as a Director or employee of the Company or of
certain other entities. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Other than disclosures given in Notes 5 and 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, there were no transactions or proposed transactions that were
material to either the Company or any related party. Nor were there any transactions with any related party that were unusual in their nature or conditions. POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS No donations were made by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries to political parties or organisations during the year. Shell Oil Company administers the non-partisan Shell Oil Company Employees Political Awareness Committee (SEPAC), a political action committee registered with the US Federal
Election Commission. Eligible employees may make voluntary personal contributions to the SEPAC.

|64 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | REPORTS.SHELL.COM



CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Dear Shareholders, I am pleased to introduce this
report which describes our governance arrangements and explains how they operated during the year. We are for the first time required to report against the 2012 version of the Financial Reporting Councils Corporate Governance Code, and I can
report that we were fully compliant in 2013. A requirement of the new Code is that the Board must state that it considers the Annual Report including the financial
statements, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the companys performance, business model and strategy. We have taken this responsibility very seriously and
have strived to apply this principle throughout the Report. In making our judgement, we were supported by advice from the Audit Committee, which this year has produced a separate report signed by the Chairman of that Committee (see
pages 74-75). As Chairman of the Nomination and Succession Committee, I am very mindful of my responsibility for succession planning. Following the decision by
Peter Voser to stand down as Chief Executive Officer at the end of 2013, the Committee conducted a thorough search of internal and external candidates with the assistance of an external search consultant, and we were delighted to announce the
appointment of Ben van Beurden, formerly Downstream Director, as Peters successor with effect from January 1, 2014. During the year, the Committee has also been busy seeking suitable candidates for Non-executive Directors, and we were
delighted to announce in January that Euleen Goh and Patricia A. Woertz have both agreed to join the Board, subject to shareholder approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, with effect from September 1, 2014, and June 1, 2014,
respectively. More recently we announced that Josef Ackermann has decided to stand down as a Non-executive Director at the Annual General Meeting, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his distinguished service to the Company. The Board and the Nomination and Succession Committee continue to be aware of the importance of diversity within the Boardroom and believe that maintaining an
appropriate balance of experience, skills, knowledge and backgrounds is key to effective Board performance. The Board believes gender diversity is an important element of this mix and we have stated our aim that by 2015 at least 25% of the Directors
will be women. This is in line with the recommendations of the report by Lord Davies of Abersoch entitled Women on Boards (Davies Report) and, should shareholders approve the appointment of Euleen Goh and Patricia A. Woertz referred to above, we
will have met our aim. Towards the end of the year, the Board conducted its annual evaluation of its own performance, the Board committees and individual directors.
As in previous years, this was led by the Nomination and Succession Committee; however, on this occasion the process was externally facilitated. Once again the process was extremely insightful for us all, and the independent element brought by the
external facilitator gave a useful dimension to our discussions. We are committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and believe they are important
for the long-term success of the Company. I would like to thank my fellow Directors for their support in helping achieve these standards during the year. Jorma
Ollila Chairman March 12, 2014


STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE The Board
confirms that throughout the year the Company has applied the main principles and complied with the relevant provisions set out in the UK Corporate Governance Code (the Code) issued by the Financial Reporting Council in September 2012. In addition
to complying with applicable corporate governance requirements in the UK, the Company must follow the rules of Euronext Amsterdam as well as Dutch securities laws because of its listing on that exchange. The Company must likewise follow US
securities laws and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) rules and regulations because its securities are registered in the USA and listed on the NYSE. NYSE
GOVERNANCE STANDARDS In accordance with the NYSE rules for foreign private issuers, the Company follows home-country practice in relation to corporate governance.
However, foreign private issuers are required to have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions Rule 10A-3. The Companys Audit Committee satisfies such requirements. The NYSE also
requires a foreign private issuer to provide certain written affirmations and notices to the NYSE, as well as a summary of the significant ways in which its corporate governance practices differ from those followed by domestic US companies under
NYSE listing standards (see NYSE Rule 303A.11). The Companys summary of its corporate governance differences is given below and can be found at www.shell.com/investor. Non-executive Director independence The Board follows the provisions of the Code in
determining Non-executive Director independence, which states that at least half of the Board, excluding the Chairman, should comprise Non-executive Directors determined by the Board to be independent. In the case of the Company, the Board has
determined that all the Non-executive Directors as at the end of 2013 are wholly independent. Nominating/corporate governance committee and compensation committee The NYSE listing standards require that a listed company maintain a nominating/corporate governance committee and a compensation committee, both composed entirely of
independent directors and with certain specific responsibilities. The Companys Nomination and Succession Committee and Remuneration Committee, respectively, comply with these requirements, except that the terms of reference of the Nomination
and Succession Committee require only a majority of the committee members to be independent. Audit Committee As required by NYSE listing standards, the Company maintains an Audit Committee for the purpose of assisting the Boards oversight of its financial statements, its
internal audit function and its independent auditors. The Companys Audit Committee is in full compliance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions Rule 10A-3 and Section 303A.06 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. However, in
accordance with English law, the Companys Audit Committee makes recommendations to the Board for it to put to shareholders for approval in general meeting
regarding the appointment, reappointment and removal of independent auditors. Consequently, the Companys Audit Committee is not directly responsible for the appointment of independent auditors. Shareholder approval of share-based compensation plans The Company complies with the
listing rules of the UK Listing Authority (UKLA), which require shareholder approval for the adoption of
share-

based compensation plans which are either long-term incentive schemes in which one or more Directors can participate or
schemes which involve or may involve the issue of new shares or the transfer of treasury shares. Under the UKLA rules, such plans cannot be changed to the advantage of participants without shareholder approval, except for certain minor amendments,
for example to benefit the administration of the plan or to take account of tax benefits. The rules on the requirements to seek shareholder approval for share-based compensation plans, including those in respect of material revisions to such plans,
may deviate from the NYSE listing standards. Code of business conduct and ethics The NYSE listing standards require that listed companies adopt a code of business conduct and ethics for all directors, officers and employees and promptly disclose any
waivers of the code for directors or executive officers. The Company has adopted the Shell General Business Principles (see below), which satisfy the NYSE requirements. The Company also has internal procedures in place by which any employee can
raise in confidence accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing concerns. Additionally, any employee can report concerns to management through a worldwide dedicated telephone line and website without jeopardising their position (see
below). SHELL GENERAL BUSINESS PRINCIPLES The Shell General Business Principles
define how Shell subsidiaries are expected to conduct their affairs. These principles include, among other things, Shells commitment to support fundamental human rights in line with the legitimate role of business and to contribute to
sustainable development. They can be found at www.shell.com/sgbp. SHELL CODE OF CONDUCT Directors and employees are required to comply with the Shell Code of Conduct, which is intended to help them put Shells business principles into practice. This
code clarifies the basic rules and standards they are expected to follow and the behaviour expected of them. It can be found at www.shell.com/codeofconduct. CODE
OF ETHICS Executive Directors and Senior Financial Officers of Shell must also comply with a Code of Ethics. This code is specifically intended to meet the
requirements of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the listing requirements of the NYSE (see above). It can be found at www.shell.com/codeofethics. SHELL GLOBAL HELPLINE Employees, contract staff, third parties with whom Shell has a
business relationship (such as customers, suppliers and agents), and any member of the public (including shareholders) may raise ethics and compliance concerns through the Shell Global Helpline. This is a worldwide confidential reporting mechanism,
operated by an external third party, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by telephone and at www.shell.com or www.compliance-helpline.com/shell. BOARD STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION During 2013, the Board comprised the Chairman; two
Executive Directors, namely the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer; and eight Non-executive Directors, including the Deputy Chairman and Senior Independent Director, except for the period from January 1 to May 21 when
there were 10 Non-executive Directors [A]. A list of current Directors, including their biographies, can be found on pages 58-59. [A] Christine Morin-Postel and
Jeroen van der Veer stood down as Non-executive Directors on May 21, 2013. Peter Voser stood down as Chief Executive Officer on December 31, 2013, and was succeeded by Ben van Beurden.


The Board recognises its collective responsibility for the long-term success of the Company. Generally it meets eight times
a year [B] and has a formal schedule of matters reserved to it. This includes: overall strategy and management; corporate structure and capital structure; financial reporting and controls, including approval of the Annual Report and Form 20-F, and
interim dividends; oversight and review of risk management and internal controls; significant contracts; and succession planning and new Board appointments. The full list of matters reserved to the Board for decision can be found at
www.shell.com/investor. [B] See page 66 for the number of meetings held in 2013. ROLE OF DIRECTORS The roles of the Chairman, a non-executive role, and the Chief
Executive Officer are separate, and the Board has agreed their respective responsibilities. The Chairman is responsible for the leadership and management of the
Board and for ensuring that the Board and its committees function effectively. One way in which this is achieved is by ensuring Directors receive accurate, timely and clear information. He is also responsible for agreeing and regularly reviewing the
training and development needs of each Director (see Induction and training on page 66) which he does with the assistance of the Company Secretary. The
Chief Executive Officer bears overall responsibility for the implementation of the strategy agreed by the Board, the operational management of the Company and the business enterprises connected with it. He is supported in this by the Executive
Committee, which he chairs (see page 67). NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS Non-executive
Directors are appointed by the Board or by shareholders in general meeting and, in accordance with the Code, must seek re-election by shareholders on an annual basis. Their letter of appointment refers to a specific term of office, such term being
subject to the provisions of the Code and the Companys Articles of Association (the Articles). Upon appointment, Non-executive Directors confirm they are able to allocate sufficient time to meet the expectations of the role. Appointments are
subject to three months notice, and there is no compensation provision for early termination. The Non-executive Directors bring a wide range and balance of
skills and international business experience to Shell. Through their contribution to Board meetings and to Board committee meetings, they are expected to challenge constructively and help develop proposals on strategy and bring independent judgement
on issues of performance and risk. Generally, prior to each meeting of the Board, the Chairman and the Non-executive Directors meet without the Executive Directors to discuss, among other things, the performance of individual Executive Directors. A
number of Non-executive Directors also meet major shareholders from time to time. The role of the Senior Independent Director is to provide a sounding board for the
Chairman and to serve as an intermediary for the other Directors when necessary. The Senior Independent Director is available to shareholders if they have concerns which contact through the normal channels of Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or
Chief Financial Officer has failed to resolve or for which such contact is inappropriate. All the Non-executive Directors as at the end of 2013 are considered by
the Board to be wholly independent. [A] [A] Jeroen van der Veer, formerly a Non-executive Director who served as Chief Executive until his retirement from that role
on June 30, 2009, stood down on May 21, 2013.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCECONTINUED CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Certain statutory duties with
respect to directors conflicts of interest are in force under the Companies Act 2006 (the Act). In accordance with the Act and the Articles, the Board may authorise any matter that otherwise may involve any of the Directors breaching his or
her duty to avoid conflicts of interest. The Board has adopted a procedure to address these requirements. It includes the Directors completing detailed conflict of interest questionnaires. The matters disclosed in the questionnaires are reviewed by
the Board and, if considered appropriate, authorised in accordance with the Act and the Articles. Conflicts of interest as well as any gifts and hospitality received by and provided by Directors are kept under review by the Board. SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENTS OF THE CHAIRMAN The Chairmans other significant
commitments are given in his biography on page 58. INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE All Directors may seek independent professional advice in connection with their role as a Director. All Directors have access to the advice and services of the Company
Secretary. The Company has provided both indemnities and directors and officers insurance to the Directors in connection with the performance of their responsibilities. Copies of these indemnities and the directors and
officers insurance policies are open to inspection. Copies of these indemnities have been previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this Report. BOARD ACTIVITIES DURING THE YEAR The Board met nine times during the year. Eight of
the meetings were held in The Hague, the Netherlands, and one meeting was held in Johannesburg, South Africa. The agenda for each meeting included a number of regular items, including reports from each of the Board committees and from the Chief
Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the other members of the Executive Committee. At most meetings the Board also considered a number of investment,


divestment and financing proposals. During the year, the Board considered numerous strategic issues and approved each of the quarterly, half-year and full-year financial results and dividend
announcements. Specific attention in 2013 was paid to matters and projects in Alaska, Iraq and Nigeria, and to asset integrity and process safety, deep-water strategy, trading, anti-bribery and corruption, risk management and control including
security risk management, and safety and environmental performance. The Board received reports and presentations on all these subjects which it discussed and considered. The Board also received regular reports from each of the Board committees and the various functions, including Finance (which includes Investor Relations), Health and
Security, Human Resources, and Legal (which includes the Company Secretary). INDUCTION AND TRAINING Following appointment to the Board, Directors receive a comprehensive induction tailored to their individual needs. This includes site visits and meetings with senior
management to enable them to build up a detailed understanding of Shells business and strategy, and the key risks and issues with which they are faced. In the case of Gerrit Zalm, who was appointed with effect from January 1, 2013,
Director-specific briefing materials were made available and induction sessions were held with various functions and businesses. Site visits were undertaken to Shell operations in the Netherlands and South Africa and, as a member of the Corporate
and Social Responsibility Committee, he also visited Shell operations in Alaska. Throughout the year, regular updates on developments in legal matters, governance
and accounting are provided to Directors. The Board regards site visits as an integral part of ongoing Director training. Additional training is available so that Directors can update their skills and knowledge as appropriate. ATTENDANCE AT BOARD AND BOARD COMMITTEE MEETINGS Attendance during 2013 for all
Board and Board committee meetings is given in the table below.

|67 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE



BOARD EVALUATION During the year, the
Board carried out a performance evaluation of itself, its Committees, the Chairman and each of the other Directors. As in previous years, this was led by the Nomination and Succession Committee. On this occasion, it engaged Lintstock Limited, a
London-based corporate advisory firm with no other connection to the Company, as an external facilitator to assist in the process. The process involved each
Director completing a confidential online questionnaire designed by the external facilitator and the Nomination and Succession Committee. The completed questionnaires were available only to the facilitator, which prepared a report for each of the
Chairman, the Deputy Chairman and the chairmen of the Board committees. The Chairman then held one-to-one interviews with each of the Directors to discuss the reports. In addition, the Deputy Chairman interviewed the Chairman, and the Board
committee chairmen held one-to-one interviews with members of their respective committees. In January 2014, the performance of the Board as a whole and the Board
committees was discussed by the Nomination and Succession Committee and subsequently by the full Board. The discussions were led by the Chairman and focused on issues such as Board composition, time management, quality of support, succession
planning, resource management, strategic oversight and risk management and control. Directors rated the performance of the Board in relation to each of these issues and made a number of suggestions going forward. These included giving a greater
focus to strategic matters, industry trends and risk, and to increasing Board exposure to senior management below the level of the Executive Committee. The
performance evaluation of the Chairman was reviewed in a session led by the Deputy Chairman with attendance by all Directors except for the Chairman. Directors had previously answered questions concerning the performance of the Chairman in relation
to communication and relationships with the Chief Executive Officer and other Directors, dealing with director-related issues, availability outside Board meetings, management of Board meetings, relationships with major shareholders, and
relationships with other stakeholders. The Deputy Chairman reported that the Directors had commented favourably on the Chairmans accessibility, consensual style and drive for a performance-led culture, and that the unanimous view of the
Chairmans performance in 2013 was positive. The results of the evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer were discussed by the
Chairman and the Non-executive Directors. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Executive
Committee operates under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer in support of his responsibility for the overall management of the Companys business and affairs. The Chief Executive Officer has final authority in all matters of
management that are not within the duties and authorities of the Board or of the shareholders general meeting.

four Board committees made up of Non-executive Directors. These are the:  n

Audit Committee; n

Corporate and Social Responsibility Committee; n

Nomination and Succession Committee; and n

Remuneration Committee. Each of these Board committees has produced a report which has been approved by the relevant
chairman. A copy of each committees terms of reference is available from the Company Secretary and can be found at www.shell.com/investor. Audit Committee The Audit Committee report which sets out the composition and work of the Audit Committee is on pages 74-75. Corporate and Social Responsibility Committee The current members of the Corporate
and Social Responsibility Committee are Charles O. Holliday (Chair of the Committee), Sir Nigel Sheinwald and Gerrit Zalm. Jeroen van der Veer stood down as a member of the Committee on May 21, 2013. The Committee met four times during the year; the
Committee members attendances are shown on page 66. The Committee has a mandate to maintain a comprehensive overview of the policies and performance of the
subsidiaries of the Company with respect to the Shell General Business Principles and Code of Conduct, as well as major issues of public concern. Conclusions and recommendations made by the Committee are reported directly to executive management and
the Board. The Committee fulfils its responsibilities by reviewing the management of health, safety, security, environmental and social impacts of projects and
operations. It also monitors emerging environmental and social issues. It additionally provides input into the Shell Sustainability Report and reviews a draft of the report before publication. In addition to holding regular formal meetings, the Committee visits Shell locations and meets with local staff and external stakeholders to

CORPORATE GOVERNANCECONTINUED observe how Shells standards regarding health, safety, security, the environment and social performance are being implemented. During 2013, the Committee visited South Africa and Alaska. Nomination and Succession Committee The members of the Nomination and
Succession Committee are Jorma Ollila (Chairman of the Committee), Josef Ackermann and Hans Wijers. The Committee met six times during the year; the Committee members attendances are shown on page 66. The Committee keeps under review the leadership needs of the Company and identifies and nominates suitable candidates for the Boards approval to fill vacancies as
and when they arise. In addition, it makes recommendations on who should be appointed Chairman of the Audit Committee, the Corporate and Social Responsibility Committee and the Remuneration Committee and, in consultation with the relevant chairman,
recommends who should sit on the Board committees. It also makes recommendations on corporate governance guidelines, monitors compliance with corporate governance requirements and makes recommendations on disclosures connected with corporate
governance of its appointment processes. During the year, the Committee dealt with the appointment of the new Chief Executive Officer and the new Downstream
Director and continued with the programme of succession planning for the Non-executive Directors. It also considered the Executive Committee talent pipeline, and Board committee membership, and reviewed the terms of reference of the Audit Committee.
Additionally, the Committee led the Board evaluation process and considered any potential conflicts of interest and the independence of the Non-executive Directors. The Board takes the issue of Boardroom diversity very seriously and believes that maintaining an appropriate balance of experience, skills, knowledge and backgrounds is
key to its effective performance. It believes gender diversity is an important element of this mix. In 2011, it issued a statement welcoming the recommendations of the Davies Report and stated that it expected at least 25% of the Directors to be
women by 2015, as recommended by the report. At the end of 2013, there was one woman on the Board (9%); however, two additional women will join the Board during 2014, subject to shareholder approval at the 2014 AGM, and this will increase the
percentage of women on the Board to 25%. As part of its role in identifying and nominating suitable candidates for the Boards approval, the Nomination and
Succession Committee will continue to review candidates from a variety of backgrounds and will seek to produce a list of candidates that fully reflects the Boards aim in relation to diversity, and in particular with reference to
gender diversity. The Committee maintains regular contact with leading global search firms, including Egon Zehnder and Spencer Stuart, to identify and consider
suitable candidates, and used the services of these two firms in relation to the appointments referred to above. They have no connection with the Company other than that of search consultants. It was not considered necessary to use open advertising
in relation to these appointments. Remuneration Committee The Directors
Remuneration Report, which sets out the composition and work of the Remuneration Committee, the remuneration policy and the remuneration of the Directors for the year ended December 31, 2013, is on pages 76-95.


SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS The Board
recognises the importance of two-way communication with the Companys shareholders. The Chairman, the Deputy Chairman and Senior Independent Director, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Executive Vice President
Investor Relations each meet regularly with major shareholders and report the views of such shareholders to the Board. As well as the Company giving a balanced report of results and progress at each AGM, all shareholders have an opportunity to ask
questions in person. Shareholders are also free to contact the Company directly at any time of the year via dedicated shareholder email addresses or via dedicated shareholder telephone numbers as given on the inside back cover of this Report.
Shells corporate website at www.shell.com/investor has information for institutional and retail shareholders alike. The Companys Registrar, Equiniti,
operates an internet access facility for registered shareholders, providing details of their shareholdings at www.shareview.co.uk. Facilities are also provided for shareholders to lodge proxy appointments electronically. The Companys Corporate
Nominee provides a facility for investors to hold their shares in the Company in paperless form. RESULTS PRESENTATIONS AND ANALYSTS MEETINGS The quarterly, half-yearly and annual results presentations as well as all major analysts meetings are announced in advance on the Shell website and through a
regulatory release. These presentations are broadcast live via webcast and teleconference. Other meetings with analysts or investors are not normally announced in advance, nor can they be followed remotely by webcast or any other means. Procedures
are in place to ensure that discussions in such meetings are always limited to non-material information or information already in the public domain. Results and
meeting presentations can be found at www.shell.com. This is in line with the requirement to ensure that all shareholders and other parties in the financial market have equal and simultaneous access to information that may influence the price of the
Companys securities. NOTIFICATION OF MAJOR SHAREHOLDINGS Information
concerning notifications of major shareholdings can be found on page 180. RESPONSIBILITY FOR PREPARING THE ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS Information concerning the responsibility for preparing the annual report and accounts can be found on page 61. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Board is responsible for maintaining a sound system of
risk management and internal control, and for regularly reviewing its effectiveness. It has delegated authority to the Audit Committee to assist it in fulfilling its responsibilities in relation to internal control and financial reporting. A single overall control framework is in place for the Company and its subsidiaries that is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve
business objectives. It therefore only provides a reasonable and not an absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The following diagram illustrates
the control frameworks key components: Foundations, Management Processes and Organisation. In 2013, the control framework was updated to put greater emphasis on the link between objectives, risks, controls
and assurance. Foundations comprises the objectives, principles and rules that underpin and establish boundaries for Shells activities.

Management Processes refers to the more material management processes, including how strategy, planning and appraisal are used to improve performance and how risks are to be managed
through effective controls and assurance. Organisation sets out how the various legal entities relate to each other and how their business activities are organised and managed, and how authority is delegated.  LOGO The system of risk management and internal control over financial reporting is an integral part of the control framework. Regular
reviews are performed to identify the significant risks to financial reporting and the key controls designed to address them. These controls are documented, responsibility is assigned, and they are monitored for design and operating effectiveness.
Controls found not to be effective are remediated. The Board confirms that there is an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant
risks to the achievement of Shells objectives. This has been in place throughout the year and up to the date of this Report and is regularly reviewed by the Board and accords with the Internal Control: Guidance to Directors (formerly known as
the Turnbull Guidance). Shell has a variety of processes for obtaining assurance on the adequacy of risk management and internal control. The Executive Committee
and the Audit Committee regularly consider group-level risks and associated control mechanisms. The Board has conducted its annual review of the effectiveness of Shells system of risk management and internal control, including financial,
operational and compliance controls. Pension plans Shell has a number of ways
to address key pension risks. Principal among these is the Pensions Forum, a joint finance and human resources body chaired by the Chief Financial Officer, which provides guidance on Shells input to pension strategy, policy and operation. The
Forum is supported by the Pensions Risk Committee in reviewing the results of assurance processes with respect to pension risks (see Risk factors). In
general, local trustees manage the funded defined benefit pension plans and set the required contributions based on independent actuarial valuations in accordance with local regulations rather than the IFRS measures. For further information
regarding the judgement


applied in setting the actuarial assumptions under IFRS and its relationship to the financial position of Shell, see Notes 3 and 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Treasury and trading In the normal course of business, financial instruments of
various kinds are used for the purposes of managing exposure to interest rate, currency and commodity price movements. Treasury standards are applicable to all
subsidiaries, and each subsidiary is required to adopt a treasury policy consistent with these standards. These policies cover: financing structure; interest rate and foreign exchange risk management; insurance; counterparty risk management; and use
of derivative instruments. Wherever possible, treasury operations are carried out through specialist regional organisations without removing from each subsidiary the responsibility to formulate and implement appropriate treasury policies. Apart from forward foreign exchange contracts to meet known commitments, the use of derivative financial instruments by most subsidiaries is not permitted by their
treasury policy. Other than in exceptional cases, the use of external derivative instruments is confined to specialist trading and central treasury organisations
that have appropriate skills, experience, supervision, control and reporting systems. Shells operations expose it to market, credit and liquidity risk, as
described in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Managements evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures of Shell As indicated in the certifications in Exhibits 12.1 and 12.2 of this Report, Shells Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of Shells disclosure controls and procedures as at December 31, 2013. On the basis of that evaluation, these officers have concluded that Shells disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Managements report on internal control over financial reporting of Shell Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over Shells
financial reporting and the production of the Consolidated Financial Statements. It conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of Shells internal control over financial reporting and the production of the Consolidated Financial Statements
based on the Internal Control  Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. On the basis of this evaluation, management concluded that, as at December 31, 2013, the
Companys internal control over Shells financial reporting and the production of the Consolidated Financial Statements was effective. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements, has issued an attestation report on the
Companys internal control over financial reporting, as stated in their report on page 100. The Trustees and managements evaluation of disclosure
controls and procedures for the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust The Trustee of the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust (the Trustee) and Shells
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures in respect of the Dividend Access Trust (the Trust) as at December 31, 2013. On the basis of this evaluation, these
officers have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Trust are effective.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCECONTINUED The Trustees and managements report on internal control over financial reporting of the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access
Trust The Trustee is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Trusts financial reporting. The Trustee and the
Companys management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control  Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission. On the basis of this evaluation, the Trustee and management concluded that, as at December 31, 2013, the Trusts internal control over financial reporting was effective. PricewaterhouseCoopers CI LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements, has issued an attestation report on the
Trustees and managements internal control over financial reporting, as stated in its report on page 174. Changes in internal control over financial
reporting There has not been any change in the internal control over financial reporting of Shell or the Trust that occurred during the period covered by this Report
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting. Material financial information of the Trust is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and is therefore
subject to the same disclosure controls and procedures as Shell. See below and the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements for additional information. ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION The following summarises certain provisions of the Articles
[A] and of the applicable laws of England. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles and the Act. [A] Copies of the Articles have been
previously filed with the SEC and are incorporated by reference as exhibits to this Report. They can be found at www.shell.com. Management and Directors The Articles provide that the Companys Board of Directors must consist of not less than three members nor more than 20 members at any time. The Company has a single
tier Board of Directors headed by a Chairman, with management led by a Chief Executive Officer. See Board structure and composition on page 65. Under
the Articles, at every AGM any Director who was in office at the time of the two previous AGMs and who did not retire at either of them must retire, and any such Director will be eligible to stand for reappointment. Further, a Director who would not
otherwise be required to retire must retire if he or she has been in office, other than as a Director holding an executive position, for a continuous period of nine years or more at the date of the meeting, and any such Director will be eligible to
stand for reappointment. However, notwithstanding the provisions of the Articles, the Company complies with the Code that requires all Directors to stand for annual reappointment by shareholders. At the AGM, shareholders can pass an ordinary
resolution to reappoint each of the Directors or to appoint another eligible person in his or her place. Under the Articles:  n

a Director may not vote or be counted in the quorum in respect of any matter in which he or she is materially interested including any matter related to his or her own compensation; n

the Directors may exercise the Companys power to borrow money provided that the borrowings of Shell shall not, without the consent


of an ordinary resolution of the Companys shareholders, exceed two times the Companys adjusted capital and reserves (these powers relating to borrowing may only be varied by special
resolution of shareholders); and n

Directors are not required to hold shares of the Company to qualify as a Director. Rights attaching to shares DIVIDEND RIGHTS AND RIGHTS TO SHARE IN THE COMPANYS PROFIT Under the
applicable laws of England, dividends are payable on A and B shares only out of profits available for distribution, as determined in accordance with the Act and under IFRS. Subject to the Act, if the Directors consider that the Companys financial position justifies the payment of a dividend, the Company can pay an interim dividend.
Shareholders can declare dividends by passing an ordinary resolution although such dividends cannot exceed the amount recommended by the Board. It is the intention
that dividends will be announced and paid quarterly. Dividends are payable to persons registered as shareholders on the record date relating to the relevant dividend. All dividends will be divided and paid in proportions based on the amounts paid up
on the Companys shares during any period for which that dividend is paid. Any dividend or other money payable in cash relating to a share can be paid by
sending a cheque, warrant or similar financial instrument payable to the shareholder entitled to the dividend by post addressed to the shareholders registered address. Alternatively, it can be made payable to someone else named in a written
instruction from the shareholder (or all joint shareholders) and sent by post to the address specified in that instruction. A dividend can also be paid by inter-bank transfer or by other electronic means (including payment through CREST) directly to
an account with a bank or other financial institution (or other organisation operating deposit accounts if allowed by the Company) named in a written instruction from the person entitled to receive the payment under the Articles. Such an account
must be held at an institution based in the UK unless the share on which the payment is to be made is held by Euroclear Nederland and is subject to the Dutch Securities Giro Act (Wet giraal effectenverkeer). Alternatively, a dividend can
be paid in some other way requested in writing by a shareholder (or all joint shareholders) and agreed to by the Company. The Company will not be responsible for a payment which is lost or delayed. Where any dividends or other amounts payable on a share have not been claimed, the Directors can invest them or use them in any other way for the Companys benefit
until they are claimed. The Company will not be a trustee of the money and will not be liable to pay interest on it. If a dividend or other money has not been claimed for 12 years after being announced or becoming due for payment, it will be
forfeited and go back to the Company, unless the Directors decide otherwise. The Company expects that dividends on B shares will be paid under the dividend access
mechanism described below. The Articles provide that if any amount is paid by the issuer of the dividend access share by way of dividend on the dividend access share and paid by the Trustee to any holder of B shares, the dividend that the Company
would otherwise pay to such holder of B shares will be reduced by an amount equal to the amount paid to such holder of B shares by the Trustee. DIVIDEND ACCESS
MECHANISM FOR B SHARES General A and B shares are identical, except
for the dividend access mechanism, which will only apply to B shares. Dividends paid on A shares have a Dutch source for tax purposes and are subject to Dutch withholding tax.

It is the expectation and the intention, although there can be no certainty, that holders of B shares will receive
dividends through the dividend access mechanism. Any dividends paid on the dividend access share will have a UK source for UK and Dutch tax purposes. There will be no Dutch withholding tax on such dividends and certain holders (not including US
holders of B shares or B American Depositary Shares (ADSs)) will be entitled to a UK tax credit in respect of their proportional shares of such dividends. For further details regarding the tax treatment of dividends paid on the A and B shares
and ADSs, refer to Taxation on pages 184-185. Description of dividend access mechanism A dividend access share has been issued by The Shell Transport and Trading Company Limited (Shell Transport) to Computershare Trustees (Jersey) Limited (formerly EES
Trustees International Limited) as Trustee. EES Trustees International Limited replaced Lloyds TSB Offshore Trust Company Limited as Trustee on January 26, 2012. Pursuant to a declaration of trust, the Trustee will hold any dividends paid in respect
of the dividend access share on trust for the holders of B shares and will arrange for prompt disbursement of such dividends to holders of B shares. Interest and other income earned on unclaimed dividends will be for the account of Shell
Transport and any dividends which are unclaimed after 12 years will revert to Shell Transport. Holders of B shares will not have any interest in the dividend access share and will not have any rights against Shell Transport as issuer of the dividend
access share. The only assets held on trust for the benefit of the holders of B shares will be dividends paid to the Trustee in respect of the dividend access share. The declaration and payment of dividends on the dividend access share will require board action by Shell Transport and will be subject to any applicable limitations in
law or in the Shell Transport articles of association in effect. In no event will the aggregate amount of the dividend paid by Shell Transport under the dividend access mechanism for a particular period exceed the aggregate of the dividend announced
by the Board of the Company on B shares in respect of the same period. Operation of the dividend access mechanism If, in connection with the announcement of a dividend by the Company on B shares, the Board of Shell Transport elects to declare and pay a dividend on the dividend access
share to the Trustee, the holders of B shares will be beneficially entitled to receive their share of that dividend pursuant to the declaration of trust (and arrangements will be made to ensure that the dividend is paid in the same currency in which
they would have received a dividend from the Company). If any amount is paid by Shell Transport by way of a dividend on the dividend access share and paid by the
Trustee to any holder of B shares, the dividend which the Company would otherwise pay on B shares will be reduced by an amount equal to the amount paid to such holders of B shares by the Trustee. The Company will have a full and unconditional obligation, in the event that the Trustee does not pay an amount to holders of B shares on a cash dividend payment
date (even if that amount has been paid to the Trustee), to pay immediately the dividend announced on B shares. The right of holders of B shares to receive distributions from the Trustee will be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any
payment actually made by the Company on account of any dividend on B shares. If for any reason no dividend is paid on the dividend access share, holders of B shares
will only receive dividends from the Company directly. Any payment by the Company will be subject to Dutch withholding tax (unless an exemption is obtained under Dutch law or under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty). The dividend access mechanism has been approved by the Dutch Revenue Service pursuant to an agreement


(vaststellingsovereenkomst) with the Company and N.V. Koninklijke Nederlandsche Petroleum Maatschappij (Royal Dutch Petroleum Company) dated October 26, 2004, as supplemented and
amended by an agreement between the same parties dated April 25, 2005. The agreement states, among other things, that dividend distributions on the dividend access share by Shell Transport will not be subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax
provided that the dividend access mechanism is structured and operated substantially as set out above. The Company may not extend the dividend access mechanism to
any future issuances of B shares without the approval of the Dutch Revenue Service. Accordingly, the Company would not expect to issue additional B shares
unless that approval were obtained or the Company were to determine that the continued operation of the dividend access mechanism was unnecessary. Any further issue of B shares is subject to advance consultation with the Dutch Revenue Service. The dividend access mechanism may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Companys Directors or the Directors of Shell Transport, for any reason and without
financial recompense. This might, for instance, occur in response to changes in relevant tax legislation. The daily operations of the Trust are administered on
behalf of Shell by the Trustee. Material financial information of the Trust is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and is therefore subject to the same disclosure controls and procedures as Shell. DISPUTES BETWEEN A SHAREHOLDER OR AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARE HOLDER AND ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC, ANY SUBSIDIARY, DIRECTOR OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PROVIDER The Articles generally require that, except as noted below, all disputes (i) between a shareholder in such capacity and the Company and/or its Directors, arising out
of or in connection with the Articles or otherwise; (ii) so far as permitted by law, between the Company and any of its Directors in their capacities as such or as the Companys employees, including all claims made by the Company or on its
behalf against Directors; (iii) between a shareholder in such capacity and the Companys professional service providers (which could include the Companys auditors, legal counsel, bankers and ADS depositaries); and (iv) between
the Company and its professional service providers arising in connection with any claim within the scope of (iii) above, shall be exclusively and finally resolved by arbitration in The Hague, the Netherlands, under the Rules of Arbitration of
the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), as amended from time to time. This would include all disputes arising under UK, Dutch or US law (including securities laws), or under any other law, between parties covered by the arbitration provision.
Accordingly, the ability of shareholders to obtain monetary or other relief, including in respect of securities law claims, may be determined in accordance with these provisions, and the ability of shareholders to obtain monetary or other relief may
therefore be limited and their cost of seeking and obtaining recoveries in a dispute may be higher than otherwise would be the case. The tribunal shall consist of
three arbitrators to be appointed in accordance with the ICC rules. The chairman of the tribunal must have at least 20 years experience as a lawyer qualified to practise in a common law jurisdiction which is within the Commonwealth (as
constituted on May 12, 2005) and each other arbitrator must have at least 20 years experience as a qualified lawyer. Pursuant to the exclusive
jurisdiction provision in the Articles, if a court or other competent authority in any jurisdiction determines that the arbitration requirement described above is invalid or unenforceable in relation to any particular dispute in that jurisdiction,
then that dispute may only be brought in the courts of England and Wales, as is the

CORPORATE GOVERNANCECONTINUED case with any derivative claim brought under the Act. The governing law of the Articles is the substantive law of England. Disputes relating to the Companys failure or alleged failure to pay all or part of a dividend which has been announced and which has fallen due for payment will
not be subject to the arbitration and exclusive jurisdiction provisions of the Articles. Any derivative claim brought under the Act will not be subject to the arbitration provisions of the Articles. Pursuant to the relevant Depositary agreement, each holder of ADSs is bound by the arbitration and exclusive jurisdiction provisions of the Articles as described in this
section as if that holder were a shareholder. VOTING RIGHTS AND GENERAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS Shareholders meetings Under the applicable laws of England, the Company
is required in each year to hold an AGM of shareholders in addition to any other meeting of shareholders that may be held. Each AGM must be held in the period six months from the date following the Companys accounting reference date.
Additionally, shareholders may submit resolutions in accordance with Section 338 of the Act. Directors have the power to convene a general meeting of
shareholders at any time. In addition, Directors must convene a meeting upon the request of shareholders holding not less than 5% of the Companys paid-up capital carrying voting rights at general meetings of shareholders pursuant to
Section 303 of the Act. A request for a general meeting of shareholders must state the general nature of the business to be dealt with at the meeting, and must be authenticated by the requesting shareholders. If Directors fail to call such a
meeting within 21 days from receipt of the request, the shareholders that requested the general meeting, or any of them representing more than half of the total voting rights of all shareholders that requested the meeting, may themselves convene a
meeting which must be called within three months. Any such meeting must be convened in the same manner, as nearly as possible, as that in which meetings are required to be convened by the Directors. The Company is required to give at least 21 clear days notice of any AGM or any other general meeting of the Company. The Articles require that in addition to any requirements under the legislation, the notice for any general meeting must state where the meeting is to be held (the
principal meeting place) and the location of any satellite meeting place, which shall be identified as such in the notice. At the same time that notice is given for any general meeting, an announcement of the date, time and place of that meeting
will, if practicable, be published in a national newspaper in the Netherlands. The rules of the UKLA, Euronext Amsterdam and the NYSE require the Company to inform holders of its securities of the holding of meetings which they are entitled to
attend. A shareholder is entitled to appoint a proxy (who is not required to be another shareholder) to represent and vote on behalf of the shareholder at any
general meeting of shareholders, including the AGM, if a duly completed form of proxy has been received by the Company not less than 48 hours before the meeting. Business may not be transacted at any general meeting, including the AGM, unless a quorum is present. A quorum is two people who are entitled to vote at that general
meeting. They can be shareholders who


are personally present or proxies for shareholders entitled to vote at that general meeting or a combination of both. If a quorum is not present within five minutes of the time fixed for a general meeting to start or within any longer period not exceeding one hour which the chairman of
the meeting can decide, and if the meeting was called by shareholders, it will be cancelled. Any other meeting will be adjourned to a day (being not less than 10 days later, excluding the day on which it is adjourned and the day for which it is
reconvened), time and place decided upon by the chairman of the meeting. One shareholder present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote will constitute a quorum at any adjourned general meeting. Record dates Entitlement to attend and vote at the AGM is determined by
reference to the Companys Register of Members. In order to attend and vote at the AGM, a member must be entered on the Register of Members or the register of the Royal Dutch Shell Corporate Nominee no later than the record date. The record
date will not be more than 48 hours before the meeting, not taking account of any part of a day that is not a working day. Voting rights A and B shares have identical voting rights and vote together as a single class on all matters including the election of directors unless a matter affects the rights of
one class as a separate class. If a resolution affects the rights attached to either class of shares as a separate class, it must be approved either in writing by shareholders holding at least three-quarters of the issued shares of that class by
amount, excluding any shares of that class held as treasury shares, or by special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the registered holders of the relevant class of shares. It is the intention that all voting at general meetings will take place on a poll. A poll is voting by means of a ballot where the number of shares held by each voting
shareholder is counted, as opposed to voting by way of a show of hands where the actual number of shares held by voting shareholders is not taken into account. Under the Act, if a poll is demanded, the resolution conducted on a poll must be approved
by holders of at least a majority of the votes cast at the meeting. Special resolutions require the affirmative vote of at least three-quarters of the votes cast at the meeting to be approved. On a poll, every holder of A or B shares present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share he or she holds. This is subject to any rights or restrictions which
are given to any class of shares in accordance with the Articles. No shareholder is entitled to vote if he or she has been served with a restriction order after failure to provide the Company with information concerning interests in his or her
shares required to be provided under Section 793 of the Act. Major shareholders have no differing voting rights. Rights in a winding up If the Company is voluntarily wound up, the liquidator
can distribute to shareholders any assets remaining after the liquidators fees and expenses have been paid and all sums due to prior ranking creditors (as defined under the laws of England) have been paid. Under the Articles, the holders of
the sterling deferred shares would be entitled (such entitlement ranking in priority to the rights of holders of ordinary shares) to receive an amount equal to the aggregate of the capital paid up or credited as paid up on each sterling deferred
share but would not be entitled to participate further in the profits or assets of the Company. Any assets remaining after the entitlements of the holders of sterling deferred shares are satisfied would be distributed to the holders of A and B
shares pro rata according to their shareholdings. Redemption provisions Ordinary shares are not subject to any redemption provisions.

Sinking fund provisions Ordinary
shares are not subject to any sinking fund provision under the Articles or as a matter of the laws of England. Liability to further calls No holder of the Companys ordinary shares is currently liable to make additional contributions of capital in respect of the Companys ordinary shares. Discriminating provisions There are no provisions discriminating against a
shareholder because of his or her ownership of a particular number of shares. Variation of rights The Act provides that the Articles can be amended by a special resolution of the Companys shareholders. The Articles provide that, if permitted by legislation, the rights attached to any class of shares can be changed if this is approved either in writing by shareholders
holding at least three-quarters of the issued shares of that class by amount (excluding any shares of that class held as treasury shares) or by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the relevant class of shares. At each
such separate meeting, all of the provisions of the Articles relating to proceedings at a general meeting apply, except that: (i) a quorum will be present if at least one shareholder who is entitled to vote is present in person or by proxy who
owns at least one-third in amount of the issued shares of the class; (ii) any shareholder who is present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote can demand a poll; and (iii) at an adjourned meeting, one person entitled to vote and who
holds shares of the class, or his or her proxy, will be a quorum. These provisions are not more restrictive than required by law in England. Limitations on
rights to own shares There are no limitations imposed by the Articles or the applicable laws of England on the rights to own shares, including the right of non-residents or foreign persons to hold or vote the Companys shares, other than limitations that would generally apply to all shareholders. CHANGE OF CONTROL There are no provisions in the Articles or of corporate
legislation in England that would delay, defer or prevent a change of control. THRESHOLD FOR DISCLOSURE OF SHARE OWNERSHIP The Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UKs Financial Conduct Authority impose an obligation on persons [A] to notify the Company of the percentage of voting
rights held as a shareholder, or through the direct or indirect holding of financial instruments, if the percentage of voting rights held in the Company reaches, exceeds or falls below 3% or any 1% threshold above 3%. [A] For this purpose persons includes companies, natural persons, legal persons and partnerships. Section 793 of the Act governs the Companys right to investigate who has an interest in its shares. Under that section, a public company can serve a notice on
any person it knows or has reasonable cause to believe is, or was at any time in the preceding three years, interested in its shares in order to obtain certain information about that interest. The Articles provide that in any statutory notice under the relevant legislation, the Company will ask for details of those who have an interest and the extent of their
interest in a particular holding. The Articles also provide that when a person receives a statutory notice, he has 14 days to comply with it. If he does not do so or if he makes a statement in response to the notice which is false or inadequate in
some important way, the Company may, on notice, restrict the rights relating to the identified shares. The restriction notice will state that the identified shares no longer give the shareholder any right to attend or


vote either personally or by proxy at a shareholders meeting or to exercise any right in relation to shareholders meetings. Where the identified shares make up 0.25% or more (in
amount or in number) of the existing shares of a class at the date of delivery of the restriction notice, the restriction notice can also contain the following further restrictions: (i) Directors can withhold any dividend or part of a dividend
or other money otherwise payable in respect of the identified shares without any liability to pay interest when such money is finally paid to the shareholder; and (ii) Directors can refuse to register a transfer of any of the identified shares which are certificated shares unless Directors are satisfied that they have been sold outright to an independent third party.
Once a restriction notice has been given, Directors are free to cancel it or exclude any shares from it at any time they think fit. In addition, they must cancel the restriction notice within seven days of being satisfied that all information
requested in the statutory notice has been given. Also, where any of the identified shares are sold and Directors are satisfied that they were sold outright to an independent third party, they must cancel the restriction notice within seven days of
receipt of notification of the sale. The Articles do not restrict in any way the provision of the legislation which applies to failures to comply with notices under the legislation. The UK City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the Takeover Code) imposes disclosure obligations on parties subject to the Takeover Codes disclosure regime. This code
requires any person who is interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or any securities exchange offeror to make an opening position disclosure following the commencement of an offer period. The Takeover Code
also requires any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1% or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or any securities exchange offeror to make a dealing disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the
offeree company or any securities exchange offeror during an offer period. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities, they will
normally be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of the relevant provisions of the Takeover Code. Rule 13d-1 of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934
requires that a person or group acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 5% of equity securities registered under the US Securities Exchange Act discloses such information to the SEC within 10 days after the acquisition. CAPITAL CHANGES The conditions imposed by the Articles for changes in capital
are not more stringent than those required by the applicable laws of England. FURTHER INFORMATION The following information can be found at www.shell.com/investor:  n

|74 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | REPORTS.SHELL.COM



AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT Dear Shareholders, I am pleased to introduce this
report, which I hope you find a useful insight into the work of the Audit Committee and the issues it considered during the year. The report takes account of the changes in the Financial Reporting Councils (FRC) Corporate Governance Code (the
Code) and its Guidance on Audit Committees, which are both effective for the 2013 reporting year. As the Audit Committee we assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in areas such as the integrity of financial reporting, the
effectiveness of the risk management and internal control system and related governance and compliance matters. During 2013, we discussed a variety of items at our
meetings and, given the increased number of topics to be considered, we held six Committee meetings in 2013 compared with five in 2012. We also held a training session to review the methodology used for hydrocarbon resources classification and the
outcome of related assurance activities. In addition to our usual disclosures on how we have discharged our responsibilities this year, we explain in the report
those issues we considered to be significant in relation to Shells 2013 Consolidated Financial Statements, and how we addressed them. We also explain that, following a request from the Board, we advised that the 2013 Annual Report including
the financial statements, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable, and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess Shells performance, business model and strategy. In 2013, we decided that we would commence a tender process for the appointment of the external auditor at the end of 2014. It is planned that the process will be
completed in mid-2015, with the chosen firm intended to be appointed for the financial year 2016 at the earliest. The tender process will be conducted earlier than required by the FRC and with regard to further developments at European Union and UK
levels. While the current audit quality has not given rise to any concern, it was felt appropriate to carry out the tender process in light of developing best practice. As Chairman of the Audit Committee I visited Nigeria in June 2013 to view for myself one of the most challenging regions that Shell operates in. It provided me with an
opportunity to receive briefings on the various challenges that management is facing including the proliferation of sabotage and theft in the Niger Delta, and the consequential environmental damage. In 2014, the Committee intends to consider the outcome of managements review of Downstream refining assets and any significant changes to Shells North
American tight-gas and liquids-rich shale properties. The Committee will continue to monitor developments in Alaska. Finally, the Committee conducted an annual
evaluation of its performance and concluded that it was effective and able to fulfil its role in accordance with its Terms of Reference, which can be found at www.shell.com/investor. I give you my assurance that we will continue to strive to
exercise our responsibilities with the utmost care and diligence. Guy Elliott Chairman of the Audit Committee March 11, 2014


COMPOSITION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE The
current members of the Audit Committee are Guy Elliott (Chairman of the Committee), Gerard Kleisterlee and Linda G. Stuntz, all of whom are financially literate, independent, Non-executive Directors. Christine Morin-Postel stood down as a member of
the Committee on May 21, 2013. For the purposes of the Code, Guy Elliott qualifies as a person with recent and relevant financial experience and for the purposes of US securities laws is an audit committee financial
expert. The Committee met six times during the year; the Committee members attendances are shown on page 66. RESPONSIBILITIES The key responsibilities of the Committee are to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in relation to: financial reporting; the effectiveness of
the system of risk management and internal control; compliance with applicable external legal and regulatory requirements; monitoring the qualifications, expertise, resources and independence of both the internal and external auditors; and assessing
each year the auditors performance and effectiveness. The Committee keeps the Board informed of the Committees activities and recommendations. Where the Committee is not satisfied with, or wherever it considers action or improvement is
required concerning any aspect of risk management and internal control, financial reporting, or audit-related activities, it promptly reports these concerns to the Board. ACTIVITIES The Committee in its meetings covers a variety of topics. These include
both standing items that the Committee considers as a matter of course, typically in relation to the quarterly results announcements, control issues, accounting policies and judgements and reporting matters, as well as a range of specific topics
relevant to the overall control framework of the Company. The Committee invites the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Internal Auditor, the Executive Vice President Controller, the Vice President Accounting and
Reporting and the external auditor to attend each meeting. Other members of management attend as and when requested. At every meeting the Committee holds private sessions separately with the external auditor and the Chief Internal Auditor without
members of management being present. During 2013, the Committee received comprehensive reports from management and the internal and external auditors. In
particular, it discussed with the Chief Financial Officer, the Executive Vice President Controller, the Vice President Accounting and Reporting and the external auditor issues that arose on accounting policies, practices and reporting, and reviewed
aggregated whistle-blowing reports, internal audit reports and analyses of financial reporting matters. The Committee further considered the assessment of the robustness of information and risk management and security measures. The Committee also
discussed the Companys annual report and accounts, half-year report and quarterly unaudited financial statements with management and the external auditor, and it reviewed the Internal Audit Departments annual audit plan and the external
quality assessment of the Internal Audit function. The Committee held a training session to refresh and increase its understanding of the methodology used for hydrocarbon resources classification and assurance. The Committee furthermore requested
reports on such matters that it deemed appropriate and received updates on potential future accounting and reporting changes. The Committee has advised the Board of
its view that the Annual Report including the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess Shells
performance, business model and strategy (see the Directors Report on page 62). The Committee

further reviewed and considered the Directors half-year and full-year statements in respect of the going concern basis of accounting. Internal control In 2013, the Committee reviewed and discussed regular reports on
risks, controls and assurance, including the annual assessment of the system of risk management and internal control, in order to monitor the effectiveness of the procedures for internal control over financial reporting. This included the
Companys evaluation of the internal control system as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. SIGNIFICANT ISSUES The Committee reviewed accounting and reporting issues that arose through reports from and discussion with management and the external auditor, and considered the
following to be significant in relation to Shells 2013 Consolidated Financial Statements. The Committee was satisfied with how each of these issues was resolved in the context of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Adoption of accounting policy changes in accordance with IFRS, effective from January 1, 2013 The Committee reviewed the adoption and main impacts of new accounting policies such as revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits and IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements,
with particular focus on materiality judgements made by management with respect to retrospective adjustments and the extent of disclosures required. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Impairment The Committee considered the review of the tight-gas and liquids-rich
shale properties in North America and the appropriateness of the impairment charges related to the Eagle Ford and Kansas Mississippi Lime assets in Upstream Americas and certain other assets, with emphasis on the triggers for impairment testing and
the assumptions used in determining the charges. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Acquisitions and disposals The Committee received management updates on the accounting for significant acquisitions and disposals. Areas of judgement which the Committee considered included matters
such as recognition of goodwill, tax treatment and required provisions. Taxation The Committee reviewed management updates and external auditor assessments on certain tax matters, including the recognition of deferred tax assets and release of tax
provisions. Discount rates The Committee reviewed a management paper setting
out the principles and the methodology applied to the selection of discount rates used for various accounting purposes. The Committee considered internal and macroeconomic assumptions used in conjunction with the discount rates. EXTERNAL AUDITOR During 2013, the Committee evaluated the effectiveness of the
external auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), taking into account the results of managements internal survey of the external auditors performance as well as managements review and recommendations in


addition to its own experience with the external auditor. Following due consideration, the Committee recommended to the Board that PwC be reappointed for the year ended December 31, 2013.
There are no contractual obligations that restrict the Committees ability to make such a recommendation. The last competitive audit tender was in 2005 when
PwC was appointed as auditor of the Company. Its performance has been evaluated each year by the Committee. Such evaluations have taken account of the prior years external audit experience, feedback from management and compliance with relevant
legislative, regulatory and professional requirements. The Committee considered and approved the Companys proposal to commence in 2014 the tender process for
the appointment of the external auditor, with the decision anticipated in 2015, resulting in an auditor appointment for the audit of the 2016 financial statements at the earliest. NON-AUDIT SERVICES The Committee has adopted a policy on the engagement of the
external auditor to supply non-audit services. This policy, designed to safeguard auditor objectivity and independence, includes guidelines on permitted and non-permitted services, and on services requiring specific approval by the Committee. Examples of non-permitted services are actuarial services, bookkeeping services, valuation services (unless the services are unrelated to financial reporting),
management or recruitment services, legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit, tax advice and broker or dealer, investment adviser or banking services. For other services, because of their knowledge, experience and/or for reasons of confidentiality, it can be more efficient or necessary to engage the external auditor
rather than another party. Under the policy, permitted services must not present a conflict of interest. The Committee reviews quarterly reports from management on the extent of the permitted non-audit services provided in accordance with the policy
or for which specific approval is being sought. Non-audit services in the following categories can be contracted without further individual prior approval provided the fee value for each contract does not exceed $500,000:  n

tax compliance work that is part of assurance process for the audit of the Consolidated or Parent Company Financial Statements or the accounts of subsidiaries; n

regulatory compliance audits; and n

verification of non-financial data for public disclosure. Any other non-audit services must be specifically approved by
the Audit Committee before the external auditor is contracted. The scope of the permitted non-audit services contracted with the external auditor in 2013 consisted
mainly of tax compliance work and the associated compensation amounted to approximately 2% of total Auditors remuneration. FEES Note 27 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides the detail of the Auditors remuneration.

DIRECTORS REMUNERATION REPORT STATEMENT BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE Dear Shareholders, As the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee (REMCO), I am
pleased to present the 2013 Directors Remuneration Report of Royal Dutch Shell plc. 2013 PERFORMANCE The business performance in 2013 was disappointing. This is reflected in the reward outcomes for the year, notably the annual bonus scorecard outcome of 0.85, and the
significantly lower Long-term Incentive Plan (LTIP) vesting at 60% of target. I am satisfied to see the link between pay and performance, as this demonstrates the effectiveness of our pay-at-risk instruments. DECISIONS MADE The principles underpinning REMCOs approach to executive
remuneration, described below, continue to remain the foundation for the decisions we make. External developments, shareholder feedback and our ambition to simplify arrangements have resulted in a number of targeted policy decisions made by REMCO in
2013, which will affect directors remuneration from 2014. For 2014, we have reviewed the appropriateness of our LTIP performance measures. For awards from
2014 onwards, the relative hydrocarbon production growth performance measure has been replaced by relative return on average capital employed (ROACE) growth, giving greater focus on capital efficiency. For 2015, under our proposed remuneration policy we have substantially increased the level of personal shareholdings which we will ask our Executive Directors to achieve
and maintain. The requirement will be 700% of base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and 400% of base salary for the Chief Financial Officer. REMCO chose to increase the shareholding guidelines rather than extend the performance periods of
long-term incentive plans, as we regard personal shareholding as a key demonstration of commitment to sustained performance over the longer term. Also from 2015, we
propose to simplify the share plans. The Deferred Bonus Plan (DBP) will move to a fixed mandatory deferral in Shell shares of 50% of the annual bonus. The opportunity to earn matching shares on the deferral will be removed and we currently intend
that the value of this match will be replaced in the LTIP. The new share plans will be proposed for shareholder approval at the 2014 Annual General Meeting (AGM). Our new Chief Executive Officer, Ben van Beurden, took over from January 1, 2014. We took account of shareholder sentiment and the overall structure of the
remuneration package in setting his base and pensionable salary at 1,400,000. Peter Voser has stepped down from the Board and is supporting Ben van Beurden during the
first quarter of 2014 to ensure a smooth handover. THIS REPORT This
Directors Remuneration Report for 2013 has been prepared in accordance with relevant UK corporate governance and legal requirements, in particular Schedule 8 of The Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations
2008 (as amended). The Board has approved this report.


This report consists of two further sections: n

the Directors Remuneration Policy which, subject to shareholder approval at the 2014 AGM, will apply from January 1, 2015. For simplicity, we have aligned the proposed effective date of the policy with the year of
the first intended awards under the new share plans, which are also subject to shareholder approval at the 2014 AGM; and n

the Annual Report on Remuneration, which describes 2013 remuneration as well as implementation of current remuneration policy in 2014. 2014 AGM At the 2014 AGM the proposed Directors Remuneration Policy will
be put to a binding shareholder vote and the Directors Remuneration Report (excluding the Directors Remuneration Policy) will be put to an advisory shareholder vote. I hope you find the new format of our remuneration reporting clear and transparent. As always, I welcome your feedback and look forward to meeting you at our AGM on
May 20, 2014. Hans Wijers Chairman of REMCO March 12, 2014   Principles The principles underpinning REMCOs approach to executive
remuneration remain unchanged. They serve as the foundation for everything we do, and are listed below.  n

Alignment with Shells strategy: the Executive Directors compensation package should be strongly linked to the achievement of stretch targets that are seen as indicators of the execution of Shells
strategy. n

Pay for performance: the majority of Executive Directors compensation (excluding benefits and pension) should be linked directly to Shells performance through variable pay instruments. n

Competitiveness: remuneration levels should be determined by reference to companies of comparable size, complexity and global scope. n

Long-term creation of shareholder value: Executive Directors should align their interests with those of shareholders by holding shares in Royal Dutch Shell plc. n

Consistency: the remuneration structure for Executive Directors should generally be consistent with that for the Senior Management of Shell. This consistency builds a culture of alignment with Shells purpose and a
common approach to sharing in Shells success. n

Compliance: decisions should be made in the context of the Shell General Business Principles and REMCO should ensure compliance with applicable laws and corporate governance requirements when designing and implementing
policies and plans. n

Risk assessment: the remuneration structures and rewards should meet risk-assessment tests to ensure that shareholder interests are safeguarded and that inappropriate actions are avoided.

|DIRECTORS REMUNERATION POLICY



This section describes the Directors Remuneration Policy which, subject to shareholder approval at the 2014 AGM, will
take effect from January 1, 2015, and will be effective until the 2017 AGM, unless a further policy is proposed by the Company and approved by shareholders in the meantime.

|Base salary and pensionable base salary        |  | Rewards day-to-day leadership and strategic direction.
 Competitively positioned recognising the scope and complexity of the role to attract and retain
Executive Directors.     |  | As it is required to state a maximum base salary, we have set a maximum of 2,000,000, for both base salary and pensionable base salary, in the context of current peer group base salary levels. Within this limit, increases will be assessed annually based on
suitable competitive pay positioning. |  | Base salary and pensionable base salary are reviewed annually with salary adjustments effective from January 1
each year. In making salary determinations, the Remuneration Committee (REMCO) will consider:
  the market positioning of the Executive Directors compensation packages;
  the different tenure and experience each Executive Director has in their role;
  changes in the scope and responsibility of the Executive Directors role;
  the planned average salary increase for other employees across three major countries  the Netherlands,
the UK and the USA;   the impact of salary increases on pension benefits and other elements of the package;
and   Shells performance and the Executive Directors individual performance.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
|Benefits                                       |  | Provides market-competitive benefits in order to attract and retain international candidates for the Executive Director roles, enabling them to focus on
delivering performance. |  | The maximum opportunity is the cost to the Company of providing the relevant benefit as specified in the
relevant local or global Company policies. These costs can vary.                                                                                                                               |  | Benefits that Executive Directors typically receive include car allowances and transport to and from home and
office, risk benefits (for example ill-health, disability or death-in-service), as well as employer contributions to insurance plans (such as medical). Precise benefits will depend on the Executive
Directors specific circumstances such as nationality, country of residence, length of service, and family status. Mobility policies for relocation and childrens education may apply, as may tax equalisation related to expatriate
employment prior to Board appointment, or in other limited circumstances to offset double taxation. REMCO may adjust the range and scope of the benefits offered in the context of developments in relevant countries.
 In relation to the maximum opportunity, and by way of example, maximum relocation and tax
equalisation settlement benefits will be the grossed-up cost of meeting the specific Executive Directors actual liability incurred as a result of appointment and any associated relocation, and will depend on a variety of factors such as length
of service, salary increase on appointment and the tax regime in place at the time.

|Annual bonus and Deferred Bonus Plan (DBP)                |  | Rewards performance against a scorecard of short-term strategic targets and individual achievement.
 To reinforce alignment with shareholder interests, 50% is deferred and the other 50% is delivered in
cash. The deferred bonus is released in the form of shares after a deferral period of three years, as well as dividend shares accrued over the deferral period. Apart from dividend shares, no additional DBP shares are awarded. |  | Target levels (as a percentage of base salary):
  Chief Executive Officer: 150%
  Other Executive Directors: 120% 
Maximum bonus (as a percentage of base salary):
  Chief Executive Officer: 250%
  Other Executive Directors: 240% |  |   The bonus is determined by reference to performance
from January 1 to December 31 each year.   Annual bonus = base salary x target bonus % x scorecard result
(02); adjusted for individual performance with a 01.2 multiplier.   Taking the Shell Business
Plan into consideration, each year the Board agrees the scorecard targets and weightings which support the delivery of the strategy. Measures are related to financial performance, operational excellence and sustainable development. Indicative
weightings are 30%, 50% and 20% respectively. REMCO retains the ability to adjust performance measure targets and weightings year by year within the overall target and maximum payouts approved in the policy. Additionally, stretching individual
targets are set.   Scorecard targets will be disclosed retrospectively, with the timing of any disclosure
dependent on the commercial sensitivity of the target.   Individual performance is reflected by adjusting the
bonus outcome. Upward adjustment is capped at 20% and subject to the overall maximum bonus cap. There is no limit to downward adjustment.
  For the portion of the bonus deferred into shares, additional shares may be released representing the value of
dividends payable on the vested shares, as if these had been owned from award date (dividend shares).
  The annual bonus and DBP have malus and clawback provisions.
  There are no prescribed thresholds or minimum levels of performance that equate to a prescribed payment under
the policy and this structure can result in no bonus payment being made.
|Long-term Incentive Plan (LTIP)                           |  | Rewards medium- to long-term outperformance of the business relative to other oil majors on measures which are selected because they are seen as key outcomes
of the delivery of the strategy.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |  | Awards may be made up to a value of 400% of base salary.
 Awards may vest at up to 200% of the shares originally awarded, plus dividends.                                                                                                |  |   Award levels are determined annually by REMCO and are
set within the maximum approved in the policy.   Awards may vest on the basis described in the notes below,
between 0% and 200% of the initial award level depending on Shells performance against a comparator group.
  Although it is possible for no LTIP shares to vest, on current measures and weightings, 16% of the initial LTIP
award would vest if there was a positive vesting outcome in respect of the lowest-weighted measure.
  Performance is assessed over a three-year period based on relative growth of the following: total shareholder
return (TSR)(30%), earnings per share (EPS) on a current cost of supplies basis (30%), return on average capital employed (ROACE)(20%) and net cash from operating activities (20%). Each measure can vest independently, but if the TSR measure does not
result in vesting, then the total vesting level will be capped at 50% of the maximum payout.   REMCO may
adjust or change the LTIP measures, targets and weightings to ensure continued alignment with Shells strategy.
  Additional shares are released representing the value of dividends payable on the vested shares, as if these
had been owned from the award date.   Following payment of taxes, vested shares from LTIP awards must be held
for a further two years to align with the strategic focus.   LTIP shares are subject to malus and
clawback.

|Pensions                                                  |  | Provides a competitive retirement provision in line with the individuals base country benefits policy, to
attract and retain Executive Directors.  Pensions provide a stable income after Shell employment,
allowing Executive Directors to focus on delivering performance. |  | By reference to pensionable base salary, pension accrual and contribution rates and other pensionable elements, as determined by the rules of the base country
pension plan of which the Executive Director is a member. |  | Executive Directors retirement benefits are maintained in their base country pension arrangements. Only
base salary is pensionable, unless country plan regulations specify otherwise. The rules of the relevant plans detail the pension benefits which members can receive on retirement (including on ill-health), death or leaving service. REMCO retains the
right to amend the form of any Executive Directors pension arrangements in response to changes in legislation, so as to ensure that the original objective of this element of remuneration is preserved.
 Pensionable base salaries are reviewed annually. For Executive Directors employed outside of their
base country, euro base salaries are translated into their home currencies for pension plan purposes. Once their salaries are denominated in base country currency, they are maintained in line with euro base salary increases taking into account
exchange rate fluctuations and other factors as determined by REMCO.

maintain this level for the full period of their appointment. The intention is for the shareholding guideline to be reached through retention of vested shares from share plans. REMCO will monitor individual progress and retains the ability to adjust
the guideline in special circumstances on an individual basis.

|DIRECTORS REMUNERATION POLICYCONTINUED

Notes to the Executive Directors remuneration policy table BENEFITS Executive Directors are eligible to receive the standard benefits and
allowances provided to employees in their country of employment. Personal loans or guarantees are not provided to Executive Directors. Those working outside of their base country are also eligible to receive specific benefits such as relocation
support and school fees, consistent with Shells mobility policies. Tax gross-up/tax equalisation may also apply in limited circumstances to offset double taxation. Where the Executive Director was on an international assignment prior to board
appointment, there may be payments on behalf of the Executive Director in subsequent years in the form of tax equalisation settlements. Post-retirement benefits may be applicable in certain countries. Apart from the benefits described above, Executive Directors and Senior Management have access to a chauffeured car, the provision of home security, and occasional
business-required spouse travel, which are generally considered legitimate business expenses rather than components of remuneration. Where these would be taxable in the UK, their values are included as taxable benefits in the single total figure of
remuneration table. ANNUAL BONUS AND DEFERRED BONUS PLAN REMCO uses the
annual bonus to focus on short-term scorecard targets that the Board agrees each year as part of Shells Business Plan, and on individual performance against personal targets. Shell considers upfront disclosure of these targets in a meaningful
manner to be commercially sensitive. The scorecard targets will be retrospectively disclosed in a future Directors Remuneration Report, when no longer deemed to be commercially sensitive. A scorecard with financial performance, operational excellence and sustainable development targets represents the link to business results. For 2015, the scorecard
measures will consist of cash flow (30% weight), operational excellence (50% weight) and sustainable development (20% weight). Annual targets and weightings for each metric are set and approved by REMCO each year. The scorecard targets are
stretching but realistic.  2015 ANNUAL BONUS SCORECARD MEASURES FOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS 30% WEIGHT



50% WEIGHTCASH FLOW
Cash generated from operations that factors in the impact of commodity price fluctuations as well as business performance so that the Executive
Directors, like shareholders, share the effects of both.



OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
nProject delivery: indicator of Shells ability to deliver projects on-stream, on time, and on budget.
 nUpstream and Downstream indicators of the full
and effective use of resources  both facilities and people.20% WEIGHTSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Equally weighted indicators of safety and environmental performance.


For years following 2015, the framework for the annual bonus scorecard, including metrics and weightings, will be reviewed
and determined by REMCO and can be adjusted accordingly. Performance is assessed over each calendar year. The outcome is usually known early in the following year,
and REMCO translates this into a score of between zero and two. REMCO retains the right to exercise its judgement to adjust the mathematical bonus scorecard outcome to ensure that the final bonus scorecard outcome for Executive Directors reflects
other aspects of Shells performance which REMCO deems appropriate for the reported year. REMCO strengthens the Executive Directors individual
accountability by increasing or decreasing their annual bonuses to take account of how well they have delivered against their individual performance targets. These targets typically relate to qualitative differentiators not already covered by the
scorecard; for example, stakeholder management, portfolio development, organisational leadership and brand value. A positive individual adjustment corresponds with personal impact beyond expectations, and a negative adjustment would mean
expectations were not completely met. Upward adjustment for individual performance is capped at a multiple of 1.2 of the bonus, subject to the overall bonus maximum. There is no limit to the downward adjustment. To reinforce alignment with shareholder interests, 50% of the annual bonus is deferred into the DBP and the other 50% is delivered in cash. The deferred bonus is
released in the form of shares after a deferral period of three years along with dividend shares accrued over the deferral period.  LOGO LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN The LTIP focuses
on performance relative to other oil majors. To recognise the removal of the performance matching shares from the DBP, REMCO currently envisages 2015 LTIP awards
will have a target value of 340% and 270% of base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and other Executive Directors respectively. This is within the policy limit which allows REMCO to make awards up to 400% of base salary. The LTIP grants share-based awards which may vest by reference to Shells performance against predefined measures over a three-year performance period. For 2015,
these measures will consist of TSR, EPS growth on a current cost of supplies (CCS) basis, ROACE growth and net cash growth from operating activities. REMCO will regularly review the performance metrics and weightings. REMCO retains the right to
adjust the metrics and/or weightings, so as to ensure that the LTIP continues to serve its intended purpose.

basis takes into account the changes in the cost of supplies and thereby enables a consistent comparison with other oil majors. For simplicity, we measure and rank
growth based on the data points at the beginning of the three-year performance period relative to the data points at the end of the period, using publicly reported data. When comparing performance against four peer companies, the relative performance ranking is as indicated in the table below. The LTIP comparator group currently consists
of BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil and Total. REMCO retains the right to adjust the comparator group, to ensure that it remains appropriate. If this leads to a change in the number of companies, the ranking framework (as set out below) may be adjusted to
ensure that the LTIP continues to meet its intended purpose and level of challenge.  RELATIVE PERFORMANCE RANKINGSShells rank against peers on each of the four performance measures

Nil TSR underpin If the TSR ranking is fourth or
fifth, the level of the award that can vest on the basis of the three other measures will be capped at 50% of the maximum payout for the LTIP. Vesting REMCO retains discretion to adjust the calculated vesting outcome if it believes that this is distorted by circumstances which are unrelated to performance, for example
reporting changes, ranking clustering, mathematical anomalies or corporate events in the comparator group. Upward adjustment would only be considered after consultation with major shareholders. An explanation of any such adjustment would be set out
in the relevant Directors Remuneration Report. Performance is assessed over a three-year period. Vested shares from the LTIP are subject to a further two-year
holding period post-vesting.


LOGO TREATMENT OF OUTSTANDING AWARDS Incentive
awards granted prior to the approval and implementation of this policy and/or prior to an individual becoming an Executive Director will continue to vest and be delivered in accordance with the terms of the original award even if this is not
consistent with the terms of this policy. As at March 12, 2014, this applies to Executive Directors Ben van Beurden and Simon Henry, and to former Directors Peter
Voser, Malcolm Brinded and Jeroen van der Veer. Jeroen van der Veer and Peter Voser have share options which can be exercised until May 6, 2014, and November 4, 2014, respectively. Ben van Beurden has outstanding awards under the Performance Share
Plan (PSP), LTIP and DBP. Simon Henry, Peter Voser and Malcolm Brinded have outstanding awards under the LTIP and DBP. Some PSP performance measures and their relative weightings differ from those applicable to the LTIP and DBP. In line with the
terms of the DBP awards granted between 2012 and 2014, performance matching shares may vest. PENSIONS Executive Directors pensions are maintained in their base country, as are those of other employees working internationally. Pension accruals are determined by the plan rules of the base country pension plan of which the Executive Director is a member. These are not subject to performance
conditions. SHAREHOLDING The Chief Executive Officer is expected to build
up a shareholding of seven times his base salary over five years from appointment. Other Executive Directors are expected to build up a shareholding of four times their base salary over the same period. In the event of an increase to the guideline
multiple of salary, for every additional multiple of salary required, the director will have one extra year to reach the increased guideline, subject to a maximum of five years from the date of the change. The shareholding levels are expected to be achieved through retention of vested LTIP and DBP shares. Executive Directors are expected to maintain the shareholding level
for the full period of their appointment. Differences for Executive Directors from other employees The salary for each Executive Director is determined based on the indicators in the Executive Directors remuneration policy table, which reflect the
international nature of the Executive Directors labour market. The salary for other employees is normally set on a country basis. Executive Directors are
eligible to receive the standard benefits and allowances provided to staff in their country of employment. The provisions which are not generally available for other employees are described in the second paragraph of Benefits on
page 80. The methodology used for determining the annual bonus for Executive Directors is broadly consistent with the approach to determining annual bonuses
for Shell employees generally. However, the scorecard used for the majority of Shell staff differs in the make-up and weighting of the metrics used. Like Executive
Directors, members of Senior Management are required to defer part of their annual bonus in DBP shares.

DIRECTORS REMUNERATION POLICYCONTINUED Executive Directors are not eligible to receive new awards under other employee share plans although awards previously granted will
continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the original award. Selected employees participate in the PSP. The operation of the PSP is similar to the LTIP, but currently differs, for example, in some performance measures and their relative
weightings. There are no special pension arrangements exclusive to Executive Directors. Illustration of potential remuneration outcomes The
scenario charts below represent estimates under three scenarios (Minimum, At target, and Maximum) of the potential remuneration outcomes for each Executive Director resulting from the application of 2014 base
salaries to awards, anticipated to be made in 2015 in accordance with the policy. The scenario charts are based on future policy award levels effective January 1,
2015, combined with projected single total figures of remuneration for Ben van Beurden and Simon Henry. The pay scenarios are forward-looking and only serve to illustrate the future policy. The scenarios are based on current incumbents and thus
depict the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) roles.


These scenarios have been prepared on the following basis: FIXED PAY In all three scenarios fixed pay includes base salaries effective
January 1, 2014, as no determinations have yet been made as to any 2015 salary increase. As the new Chief Executive Officer is not included in the table showing the 2012 and 2013 single total figure of remuneration for Executive Directors, Ben
van Beurdens benefits and pension values are estimates for a typical year. For the Chief Financial Officer pay scenarios, benefits and pension have been valued as per the values included in that table. ANNUAL INCENTIVE The Minimum scenario assumes that Shells
performance is such that no bonus is payable. The At target scenario assumes Shells performance results in a bonus equal to the target bonus of 150% of base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and 120% for the Chief Financial
Officer. The Maximum scenario assumes Shells performance results in the maximum bonus payment of 250% of base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and 240% for the Chief Financial Officer. For the portion of the bonus deferred in
DBP shares, the scenarios assume no share price movement and exclude dividend accrual, although dividend accrual during the deferral period is a feature of the DBP. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE The Minimum scenario assumes that no LTIP
awards vest. The At target scenario assumes the LTIP awards vest at target performance. For 2015, the target LTIP awards are illustrated as 340% of base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and 270% for the Chief Financial Officer. The
Maximum scenario for both assumes that the LTIP awards vest at the maximum, which for the 2015 awards is 200% of the shares originally awarded. The scenarios assume no share price movement and exclude dividend accrual, although dividend
accrual during the performance period is a feature of the LTIP.

|Non-executive Directors (NEDs) receive a fixed annual fee for their directorship. The size of the fee will
differ based on the position on the Board: Chairman of the Board fee or standard Non-executive Director fee. 
Additional annual fee(s) are payable to any director who serves as Senior Independent Director, a Board committee chairman, or a Board committee member.
 A NED receives either a chairman or member fee for each committee. This means that a chairman of a
committee does not receive both fees.  NEDs receive an additional fee of 5,000 for any Board meeting involving intercontinental travel  except for one meeting a year held in a location other than The Hague. |  | The Chairmans fee is determined by REMCO. The Board determines the fees payable to NEDs. The maximum
aggregate annual fees will be within the limit specified by the Articles of Association and in accordance with the NEDs responsibilities and time commitments. 
The Board reviews NED fees periodically to ensure that they are aligned with those of other major listed companies. |  | Business expenses incurred in respect of the performance of their duties as a NED will be paid or reimbursed by
Shell. Such expenses could include transport between home and office and occasional business-required spouse travel. Where required, the Chairman is offered
Shell-provided accommodation in The Hague. REMCO has the discretion to offer other benefits to the Chairman as appropriate to his circumstances. Where business expenses or benefits create a personal tax liability to the director, Shell may cover the
associated tax.  The Chairman and the other NEDs cannot receive awards under any incentive or
performance-based remuneration plans, and personal loans or guarantees are not granted to them. 
NEDs do not accrue any retirement benefits as a result of their non-executive directorships with Shell.



MALUS AND CLAWBACK Incentive awards may be made subject to adjustment events. At the discretion of REMCO, such an award may be adjusted before delivery (malus) or reclaimed after delivery
(clawback) if an adjustment event occurs. Adjustment events will be specified in incentive award documentation and it is intended that they will, for example, relate to restatement of financial results due to: non-compliance with a financial
reporting requirement; or misconduct by an Executive Director or misconduct through his direction or non-direction. REMCO retains the right to alter the list of adjustment events in respect of future awards. In addition, REMCO will retain discretion in assuring itself that there is satisfactory underlying performance before releasing any variable pay to Executive Directors
and may withhold all or some of the bonus or shares awarded if it considers that the underlying performance (financial, environmental, safety or other) of Shell is inadequate. RECRUITMENT Executive Directors REMCO determines the remuneration package for a new Executive Director appointment. This appointment may involve external or internal recruitment or reflect a change in
role of a current Executive Director. The remuneration package will include: salary, benefits, annual bonus, long-term incentives and pension benefits. If considered appropriate, it may also include compensation for the forfeiture of awards or other
entitlements from a previous employer as well as recruitment incentives. When determining remuneration packages for new Executive Directors, REMCO will seek a
balanced outcome which allows Shell to:  n

attract and motivate candidates of the right quality; n

take into account the individuals current remuneration package and other contractual entitlements; n

seek a competitive pay position relative to our comparator group, without overpaying; n

provide an incentive to join Shell and encourage relocation if required; and n

honour entitlements (for example, variable remuneration) of internal candidates before their promotion to the Board.


REMCO will follow the approach set out below when determining the remuneration package for a new Executive Director. ONGOING REMUNERATION The salary, benefits, annual bonus, long-term incentives
and pension benefits will be positioned and delivered within the framework of the Executive Directors remuneration policy and its stated maximum award and vesting levels. COMPENSATION FOR THE FORFEIT OF ANY AWARDS UNDER VARIABLE REMUNERATION ARRANGEMENTS To facilitate external recruitment, one-off compensation in consideration for forfeited awards under variable remuneration arrangements entered into with a previous
employer may be required in addition to the ongoing annual remuneration package. REMCO will use its judgement to determine the appropriate level of compensation by matching the value of any lost awards under variable remuneration arrangements with
the candidates previous employer. This compensation may take the form of a one-off cash payment or an additional award under the LTIP. The compensation can alternatively be based on a newly created long-term incentive plan arrangement where
the only participant is the new director. The maximum for any such award is an amount equal to the value of the forfeited variable remuneration awards, as assessed by REMCO. Consideration will be given to appropriate performance conditions and
clawback arrangements. REPLACEMENT OF FORFEITED ENTITLEMENTS OTHER THAN VARIABLE REMUNERATION There may also be a need to compensate a new Executive Director in respect of forfeited entitlements other than variable remuneration. This could include, for example,
pension or contractual entitlements, or other benefits. On recruitment, these entitlements may be replicated within the Executive Directors remuneration policy or valued by REMCO and compensated in cash. In cases of internal promotion to the
Board, any commitments made which cannot be effectively replaced under the policy may, at REMCOs discretion, continue to be honoured. EXCEPTIONAL
RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE Apart from the ongoing annual package and any compensation in respect of the replacement of forfeited entitlements, there may be
circumstances in which REMCO needs to offer a one-off recruitment incentive to ensure the right external candidate is attracted. The necessity and level of this incentive will depend on the individuals circumstances.

DIRECTORS REMUNERATION POLICYCONTINUED The maximum available for this incentive would be one times the LTIP award level, subject to the limits set out in the Executive
Directors remuneration policy table. Non-executive Directors REMCOs approach to setting the remuneration package for NEDs is to offer fee levels and specific benefits (where appropriate) in line with the Non-executive
Directors remuneration policy table on page 83 and subject to the Articles of Association. NEDs are not offered variable remuneration or retention awards. When determining the benefits for a new Chairman, the individual circumstances of the future Chairman will be taken into account. SERVICE CONTRACTS Executive Directors have employment
contracts for an indefinite period. Non-executive Directors, including the Chairman, do not have an employment contract but letters of appointment. Executive Directors employment contracts and NEDs letters of appointment are available
for inspection at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) or on request. For further details on appointment and re-appointment of Directors, refer to the Directors Report. END OF EMPLOYMENT Executive Directors NOTICE PERIODS Executive Directors employment contracts are governed by
Dutch employment law. This choice was made because mandatory provisions of Dutch employment law apply even if a foreign law has been specified to govern a contract. Employment terms are consistent with those of other Shell staff with Dutch
employment contracts. The contracts can end by notice of either party (one month for an employee and up to a maximum of four months for the employer) or automatically at retirement. Under Dutch law, termination payments are not linked to the
contracts notice period. OUTSTANDING ENTITLEMENTS In cases of
resignation or dismissal, fixed remuneration (base salary, benefits, and employer pension contributions) will cease on the last day of employment, variable remuneration elements will generally lapse and the director is not eligible for
loss-of-office compensation. The information below generally applies to termination of employment by Shell giving notice, by mutual agreement, or in situations
where the employment terminates because of retirement with Shell consent at a date other than the normal retirement date, redundancy or in other similar circumstances at REMCOs discretion. For Executive Directors appointed prior to 2011, REMCO may offer compensation for losses resulting from termination of employment of up to one times annual pay (base
salary plus target bonus). For Executive Directors appointed from 2011 onwards, the employment contracts include a cap on any payments resulting from loss of employment of one times annual pay (base salary plus target bonus) and include a reference
to the Executive Directors duty to seek alternative


employment and thereby mitigate their loss. For mitigation purposes, the delivery of compensation for loss of office payments could be phased. This level of termination payments was part of a
number of policy changes agreed with shareholders in 2010, and seeks to balance governance expectations and end-of-employment practice in the Netherlands. REMCO may
adjust the termination payment for any situation where a full payment is inappropriate, taking into consideration applicable law, corporate governance provisions and the best interests of the Company and shareholders as a whole. Base salary, benefits and employer pension contributions will cease to accrue on the last day of employment. Any annual bonus in the year of departure is prorated for
service. Dependant on the timing of the departure, REMCO may in determining the final bonus payment consider the latest business scorecard position or defer payment until the full-year scorecard result is known. Outstanding long-term incentive
awards will generally survive the end of employment and will remain subject to the same vesting performance conditions, and malus and clawback provisions, as if the director had remained in employment. If the participant dies before the end of the
performance period, the award will vest at the target level on the date of death. In case of death after the end of the performance period, the award will continue to vest as described by this Directors Remuneration Policy. Because DBP shares represent the bonus which a participant has already earned and carry no further performance conditions, DBP shares will be released at the conclusion
of the normal three-year deferral period and no proration will apply. LTIP shares awarded from 2015 onwards will be prorated on a monthly basis, by reference to the
Directors service within the performance period. Outstanding LTIP awards made before 2015 are prorated on an annual basis. The prorated awards may vest subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions. Non-executive Directors No payments for loss of office will be made to NEDs. CONSIDERATION OF OVERALL PAY AND EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS When setting the remuneration policy for Directors remuneration, no specific employee groups were consulted nor were any remuneration comparison measurements used
to compare overall pay and employment conditions of all Shell employees with those of the Directors. However, pay and employment conditions of the wider Shell employee population were taken into account by adhering to the same performance, rewards
and benefits philosophy for the Directors, as well as overall benchmarking principles. Furthermore, any potential differences from other employees (see Differences for Executive Directors from other employees on pages 81-82) were taken
into account when providing REMCO with advice in the formation of this Directors Remuneration Policy. Dialogue between management and staff is important, with the annual Shell People Survey being one of the principal means of gathering
employee views on a range of matters. The Shell People Survey includes questions inviting employees views on their pay and benefit arrangements. REMCO is kept
informed by the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Human Resources & Corporate Officer and the Executive Vice President Remuneration, Benefits & Services on the Group Scorecard and any relevant remuneration matters affecting Senior
Management and other senior executives, extending to multiple levels below the Board.

CONSIDERATION OF SHAREHOLDER VIEWS REMCO engages with major shareholders on a regular basis throughout the year and this allows it to test proposals when developing the Directors Remuneration Policy.
Specific examples of REMCO responding to shareholder views include the increase to the shareholding guidelines, the update to the LTIP performance conditions to include a relative ROACE growth measure, and the removal of matching share awards from
the DBP.


ADDITIONAL POLICY STATEMENT REMCO reserves the right to make payments outside the policy in limited exceptional circumstances, such as for regulatory, tax or administrative purposes or to take
account of a change in legislation or exchange controls, and only where REMCO considers such payments are necessary to give effect to the intent of the policy.

ANNUAL REPORT ON REMUNERATION The Annual Report on Remuneration sets out the following:  n

the Remuneration Committee (REMCO); n

statement of 2014 policy implementation; n

details on the Chief Executive Officer transition; n

Directors remuneration for 2013; and n

additional remuneration disclosures. The base currency in this Annual Report on Remuneration is the euro, as this is the
currency of the base salary and country of employment of the Executive Directors. Where amounts are shown in other currencies, an average exchange rate for the relevant year is used, unless a specific date is stated, in which case the average
exchange rate for the specific date is used. REMUNERATION COMMITTEE REMCOs key responsibilities in respect of Executive Directors include:  n

setting remuneration policy; n

agreeing performance frameworks, setting targets and reviewing performance; n

determining actual remuneration and benefits; and n

determining contractual terms. In addition, REMCO has the responsibility for the Chairman of the Boards
remuneration and for recommending and monitoring the level and structure of remuneration for Senior Management. REMCO operates within its Terms of Reference, which
are reviewed regularly and updated whenever necessary. They are available at www.shell.com. Alternatively, copies can be obtained from the Company Secretary. The
following Directors were members of the Remuneration Committee during 2013:  n

Hans Wijers (Chairman of the Committee); n

Josef Ackermann; and n

Charles O. Holliday. Their biographies are given on pages 58-59; REMCO meeting attendance is given on page 66. With the
exception of the May meeting, which the Chairman of the Board joined, no other Non-executive Directors participated in REMCO meetings during 2013. Advice from
within Shell on various subjects including the Executive Directors Scorecard and the remuneration of Senior Management was provided by:  n

Peter Voser, Chief Executive Officer; n

Hugh Mitchell, Chief Human Resources & Corporate Officer and Secretary to the Committee; n

Michael Reiff, Executive Vice President Remuneration, Benefits & Services, until August 31, 2013; and n

Stephanie Boyde, Executive Vice President Remuneration, Benefits & Services, from September 1, 2013. The
Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer were consulted on remuneration proposals affecting the Chief Financial Officer. After consideration of the UK
executive remuneration advisory market, REMCO engaged Towers Watson and Kepler Associates on a one-off basis to provide independent external perspectives on executive remuneration market practice. Both are founding members and


signatories of the Code of Conduct for Remuneration Consultants. The fees derived from hourly rates for the respective scopes of work were £60,000 for Towers Watson and £49,200 for
Kepler Associates. Towers Watson also provided other consulting services to Shell during the year, including advice on pay benchmarking and operational excellence, but did not provide advice on Board executive remuneration matters other than for
REMCO. Kepler Associates provided no other services to the Company during the year. Accordingly, REMCO was satisfied that the advice was objective and independent. Activities of the Remuneration Committee During 2013, REMCO met six times. REMCO
activities included:  n

approving the 2012 Directors Remuneration Report; n

consulting with major shareholders in April and December; n

setting annual bonus performance measures and targets; n

deciding on base salaries for the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer; n

determining the 2012 annual bonus outcomes; n

vesting of the 2010 long-term incentive plan (LTIP) and deferred bonus plan (DBP) awards; n

making determinations in respect of the Chief Executive Officer transition; n

tracking external developments, and assessing their impact on Shells remuneration policy; and n

reviewing the Committees operation. In addition, there were a number of remuneration policy discussions which
resulted in:  n

updating of the comparator group of companies (2014); n

capping of the individual performance factor in the annual bonus (2014); n

updating of the target annual bonus percentage for the Chief Financial Officer (2014); n

updating of the LTIP performance conditions (2014); n

removing the DBP matching shares and deferral election (proposed for 2015); and n

increasing the shareholding guidelines (proposed for 2015). STATEMENT OF 2014 POLICY
IMPLEMENTATION The proposed Directors Remuneration Policy as outlined on pages 77-85 will, subject to shareholder approval, apply from January 1, 2015,
linked to the first awards anticipated to be made under the new share plans. The Executive Directors remuneration policy in operation in 2014 is similar and therefore this section will generally describe only the 2014 policy elements which
differ from those proposed on pages 77-85 and specific determinations made which apply to 2014. Comparator group 2014 REMCO determines remuneration levels by reference to companies of comparable size, complexity and global scope. The 2014 key comparator group consists of BP, Chevron,
ExxonMobil and Total as well as a selection of major Europe-based companies. The spread provides a balanced mix across industries and geography. From January 1, 2014, the composition of the European comparator group has been updated to ensure
continued relevance. Bayer, BAT, BG Group and SABMiller have been added, while AXA, E.ON, Nokia and Vivendi have been removed.  2014 EUROPEAN COMPARATOR GROUPAllianz

Salaries and fees EXECUTIVE
DIRECTORS BASE SALARY In making salary determinations, REMCO will consider the elements listed in the proposed Executive Directors remuneration
policy on pages 77-85. Effective from January 1, 2014, base salaries were set as follows: Ben van Beurden, Chief Executive Officer, at 1,400,000, and Simon Henry, Chief Financial Officer, at 1,010,000 (+2.5%). Pensionable base salaries were set at 1,400,000 for Ben van Beurden and £750,000
(+4.2%) for Simon Henry. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FEES The
Non-executive Directors remuneration policy for 2014 is in line with the proposed Non-executive Directors remuneration policy table on page 83. Annual fees for 2014 are indicated in the following table.  NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS FEES 2014

17,250 [A] The chairman of a committee does not receive an additional fee for membership of that committee. Annual bonus The annual bonus policy is in line with the proposed Directors
Remuneration Policy on pages 77-85. The 2014 performance measures are:  n

operational cash flow (30%); n

operational excellence (50%), consisting of: project delivery, upstream production, liquefied natural gas (LNG) sales, refinery and chemical plant availability; and n

sustainable development (20%). Annual bonus scorecard targets will not be disclosed prospectively as to do so in a
meaningful manner would require the disclosure of commercially sensitive information. When no longer deemed to be commercially sensitive, it is intended that scorecard targets will be retrospectively disclosed in a future Directors
Remuneration Report. Retrospective disclosure of detailed personal targets is inappropriate as these are deemed commercially sensitive. Long-term incentive awards The 2014 LTIP will operate in line with the policy as set out in the 2012 Directors Remuneration Report, with the exception of the replacement of the
performance measure hydrocarbon production with return on average capital employed.


LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN On
January 31, 2014, a conditional award of performance shares under the LTIP was made to the Executive Directors. The award had a face value of three times base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and 2.4 times base salary for the Chief Financial
Officer, resulting in the following shares being awarded conditionally: 163,998 Royal Dutch Shell plc A shares (A shares) to Ben van Beurden, and 89,648 Royal Dutch Shell plc B shares (B shares) to Simon Henry. For LTIP awards made in 2014, performance is assessed over a three-year period based on relative performance against the other
oil majors on these measures:  n

total shareholder return (TSR) (30%); n

earnings per share (EPS) growth on a current cost of supplies (CCS) basis (30%); n

return on average capital employed (ROACE) growth (20%); and n

net cash growth from operating activities (20%). DEFERRED BONUS PLAN Ben van Beurden, Peter Voser and Simon Henry all elected to defer 50% of their 2013 annual bonus into the DBP which was also awarded on January 31, 2014, resulting in
deferred bonus share awards as follows: Ben van Beurden 12,456 (A shares); Peter Voser 35,142 (A shares); and Simon Henry 16,642 (B shares). The DBP in
operation for 2014 differs from the proposed Executive Directors remuneration policy on pages 77-85 in that Executive Directors are required to invest at least 25% of their annual bonus, up to a maximum of 50%, in Royal Dutch Shell plc shares,
and in that the deferred bonus shares may be matched with additional shares. The number of performance matching shares which will eventually vest will depend on the performance of Shell compared with its peer group during the three-year deferral
period. To calculate the number of additional shares, the same vesting percentage as the LTIP award is applied to half of the Executive Directors deferred bonus shares. Vested shares are increased by dividend shares accrued since grant. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER TRANSITION Peter Voser stood down from the Board and his
role as Chief Executive Officer with effect from January 1, 2014. In accordance with Shells policy for employees who work outside their base country, Peter Voser has repatriated to his base country, which is Switzerland. He is employed by
Shell Switzerland until his departure from Shell on March 31, 2014, acting as adviser to the new Chief Executive Officer, Ben van Beurden, ensuring a stable transition. Existing policy was applied in order to determine his remuneration for 2014
and no REMCO discretion was applied. The key elements include:  n

annual base salary of CHF 2,540,000, prorated for service; n

annual bonus for 2014 (prorated for service) as determined by REMCO; n

no 2014 LTIP award was made; n

outstanding LTIP awards subject to the prorating policy; n

a 2014 DBP award was made, based on deferral of 50% of the 2013 annual bonus; n

share options granted in 2004 remain exercisable in accordance with the terms of the original grant; n

normal vesting dates apply (no accelerated vesting); n

no payment for loss of office; and n

in accordance with Swiss pension regulations when he leaves employment the present value of Peter Vosers vested pension benefits in the Shell Switzerland
pension fund will be transferred to a regulated individual pension account with a bank or insurance company. His benefits comprise the accrued pension that would otherwise be payable to him at age 60 and the excess savings

ANNUAL REPORT ON REMUNERATIONCONTINUED  capital arising from the implementation of the pension salary cap in 2006. The present value of his unfunded pension arrangement will be released at the same time. These present values are determined in accordance with the pension
fund regulations and normal actuarial practice. Pension arrangements for Peter Voser have been disclosed in Directors Remuneration Reports since 2006. Ben van Beurden started as Chief Executive Officer on January 1, 2014. His remuneration for 2014 will be reported in next years


Directors Remuneration Report. Ben van Beurdens base salary and pensionable salary for 2014 have been set at
1,400,000. The conditional award of performance shares under the LTIP and DBP are described on page 87. Before his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, Ben van Beurden was
employed in the UK on expatriate terms governed by Shells mobility policies, which include tax equalisation. As a consequence of this prior assignment and his repatriation to the Netherlands to undertake the role of Chief Executive Officer, a
UK tax liability arises in respect of his pension benefits and future vesting of past share plan awards. This UK tax liability will be settled by Shell in accordance with the mobility policies and disclosure will be made in the relevant years
Directors Remuneration Report.

[A] No payment for loss of office was made.

[B] UK
regulations governing remuneration reporting changed for 2013. The amounts shown for each year have been prepared in accordance with applicable regulations then in force.

[C] The full value of the bonus, comprising both the non-deferred and deferred value. For both years, each director elected to defer 50% of their bonuses into DBP shares.
The market prices of A and B shares on January 31, 2014, (25.61 and £22.25 respectively) were used to determine the number of DBP shares, resulting in 35,142 A shares for
Peter Voser and 16,642 B shares for Simon Henry. At vesting, these DBP shares may be supplemented with performance matching shares, which vest on the same basis as the 2014 LTIP award.

[D] Remuneration for performance periods of more than one year, comprising the value of released LTIP awards and performance matching shares. The amounts reported for
2013 relate to the 2011 awards, which vested on February 27, 2014, at the market price of 26.54 and £23.36 for A and B shares respectively. To enable comparison, the
amounts reported for 2012 relate to the 2010 awards, which vested on March 12, 2013, at the market price of 25.35 and £22.69 for A and B shares respectively. The value of
the LTIP and DBP is calculated as the product of: the gross number of shares of the original award in the case of LTIP, or performance matching shares in the case of DBP, plus dividend shares accrued; the vesting percentage; and the closing
market price of A or B shares at the vesting date. The market price of B shares is converted into euros using the exchange rate on the respective date. The original DBP award shares, which are those represented by deferred bonus and dividend shares
accrued on these shares, are not considered as long-term remuneration, as they relate to the short-term annual bonus value. Only the performance matching shares and dividend shares accrued on those shares are considered as long-term remuneration,
since they relate to performance periods of more than one year.

[A] UK regulations governing remuneration reporting changed for 2013. The amounts shown for each year have been prepared in accordance
with applicable regulations then in force. Specifically, the remuneration reporting regulations in force for 2013 require inclusion of benefits where these would be taxable in the UK, on the assumption that Directors are tax resident in the UK. On
this premise, the 2013 taxable benefits amounts include the cost of Non-executive Director occasional business-required spouse travel. Shell also pays for travel between home and the head office in The Hague, where Board and committee meetings are
typically held, as well as related hotel and subsistence costs. For consistency, these business expenses are not reported as taxable benefits as for most Non-executive Directors this is international travel and hence would not be taxable in the UK.

[B] Christine Morin-Postel and Jeroen van der Veer stood down with effect from May 21, 2013. No payments for loss of office were made.

[C] The taxable benefits amounts for Jorma Ollila include the use of an apartment (2013: 45,987)
and company-provided transport (2013: 61,352).

[D] Sir Nigel Sheinwald was appointed with
effect from July 1, 2012. Gerrit Zalm was appointed with effect from January 1, 2013.

ANNUAL REPORT ON REMUNERATIONCONTINUED Notes to the single total figure of remuneration tables (audited) BASE SALARY As disclosed in the 2012 Directors Remuneration Report,
REMCO reviewed Executive Directors annual base salary levels and determined the base salaries, effective from January 1, 2013, as follows: Chief Executive Officer Peter Voser
1,640,000 (+2.5%); and Chief Financial Officer Simon Henry 985,000 (+4.8%). Pensionable
salaries were also reviewed and, effective January 1, 2013, increased to CHF 2,540,000 (+2.2%) for Peter Voser and to £720,000 (+4.9%) for Simon Henry. ANNUAL BONUS The business scorecard shown below contains independent business
measures grouped in three sections: operational cash flow, operational excellence and sustainable development. At the start of the year, REMCO sets a target range
and weighting for each scorecard measure. The actual outcome achieved results for each measure in a score of between 0 and 2, with a score of 1 representing At target. These scores are multiplied by the respective weighting of each
measure and aggregated, resulting in a mathematical scorecard outcome of between 0 and 2. REMCO may then make an adjustment to the overall scorecard outcome in view of the wider business performance for the year. Individual performance An Executive Directors individual performance is
also taken into account in determining his annual bonus. Individual performance is assessed against personal targets. Retrospective disclosure of detailed personal targets is inappropriate as these are deemed to be commercially sensitive.


Conclusion of the 2013 annual bonus The target 2013 bonus for Peter Voser at 150% of base salary had a value of 2,460,000 and for
Simon Henry, at 110% of base salary, of 1,083,500. The maximum bonus opportunity for Peter Voser at 250% of base salary was 4,100,000, and for Simon Henry at 220% of base salary was 2,167,000. The mathematical scorecard outcome for 2013 was 1.04. REMCO noted the strong delivery on key measures such as project delivery, plant availability, and sustainable
development, including safety. However, in view of disappointing cash flow and production outcomes, REMCO determined to adjust the scorecard result to 0.85. On the
basis of this adjusted scorecard result, the annual bonus would have been 2,091,000 for Peter Voser and
920,975 for Simon Henry. Subsequently, REMCO determined no individual performance adjustment for Simon Henry, noting strong delivery in relation to functional leadership and
delivery of Shells strategic review considered alongside personal accountability for the below-target financial results. REMCO determined a downward adjustment to the bonus for Peter Voser. Despite strong personal performance in his closing
year as Chief Executive Officer, Peter Vosers individual performance targets were closely tied to the delivery of Shells financial results, which were below expectations. The final, rounded, 2013 bonus outcomes for the Executive Directors were below target: 1,800,000
or 110% of base salary for Peter Voser and 900,000 or 91% of base salary for Simon Henry. Half of the bonus is deferred in shares under the DBP. The table below summarises the 2013 annual bonus targets, the scorecard measures including their weightings, targets and outcomes for the year as well as REMCOs
adjustments, to arrive at the final 2013 bonus payable to Peter Voser and Simon Henry.

|91 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | DIRECTORS REMUNERATION REPORT

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN In
2011, the Executive Directors were granted a conditional award of performance shares under the LTIP. The terms of this 2011 LTIP award are the same as those applying to the 2013 LTIP awards. These awards were based on 300% of base salary for Peter
Voser (with a maximum vesting of 600%) and 240% for Simon Henry (with a maximum vesting of 480%). At the end of the performance period, which was from
January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2013, Shell was ranked fourth among its peer group in terms of TSR (30% weight), fifth in terms of EPS growth on a CCS basis (30% weight), second in terms of hydrocarbon production growth (20% weight)
and second in terms of growth in net cash from operating activities (20% weight). REMCO also considered the underlying financial performance of Shell and decided to vest 60% of shares under the LTIP, using no discretion, resulting in 128,700
A shares for Peter Voser and 59,120 B shares for Simon Henry. At vesting, these shares (including accrued dividend) had a value of 3,415,698 and 1,683,438 for Peter Voser and Simon Henry respectively. For current Executive Directors, the vested shares from the LTIP are subject to a further two-year holding period.


DEFERRED BONUS PLAN In 2011,
Executive Directors were granted performance matching shares under the DBP. The performance period was January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2013. Given that the performance condition of the DBP is the same as for the 2011 LTIP, REMCO decided
to vest 60% of the performance matching shares under the DBP, using no discretion, resulting in 25,948 A shares for Peter Voser and 10,635 B shares for Simon Henry. At vesting, these shares (including accrued dividend) had a value of 688,660 and 302,831 for Peter Voser and Simon Henry respectively. BENEFITS Executive Directors received car allowances or lease cars, transport
to and from home and office, occasional business-required spouse travel, as well as employer contributions to life and medical insurance plans. Where appropriate for employees outside their home country, tax equalisation and relocation support
policies were applied. Peter Voser received tax compensation in respect of pension contributions (173,657).

[B] Minimum performance relates to the lowest level of
achievement, for which no reward is delivered.

[C] Peter Vosers award will be prorated for service.

[D] Peter Voser and Simon Henry elected to defer 50% of their 2012 bonus into DBP shares, half of which is matchable with additional performance matching shares. This
results in performance matching shares with a value of 25% of their 2012 bonus.

[E] The equivalent values exclude share price movements and accrued dividend.



2013 LTIP and DBP awards To determine
the appropriate award, REMCO considers the award value to be a market competitive reward for medium- to long-term out-performance of the business relative to other oil majors (BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil and Total) on measures which are considered key
indicators of the delivery of the strategy in the medium to long term. The measures and weightings applying to both LTIP and DBP are: total shareholder return
(TSR) growth (30%); earnings per share (EPS) growth on a CCS basis (30%); hydrocarbon production growth (20%); and net cash growth from operating activities (20%). VESTING The LTIP and DBP performance matching shares vest on the basis of the
relative performance rankings as indicated in the table below.  RELATIVE PERFORMANCE RANKINGSShells rank against peers on each of the four performance measures

Number of conditional performance shares ultimately awarded, taking into account the weightings of the four performance measures1st

2 x initial LTIP award2 x half of the deferred bonus shares2nd

1.5 x initial LTIP award1.5 x half of the deferred bonus shares3rd

0.8 x initial LTIP award0.8 x half of the deferred bonus shares4th or 5th

Nil If the TSR ranking is fourth or fifth, the level of the award that can vest on the basis of the three other measures will be capped at
50% of the maximum.


REMCO retains discretion to adjust the calculated vesting outcome if it believes that this is distorted by circumstances
which are unrelated to performance, for example reporting changes, ranking clustering, mathematical anomalies or corporate events in the comparator group. REMCO
will consider using discretion to ensure that remuneration appropriately reflects Shells performance and may adjust the final vesting outcome of the LTIP (and, therefore, DBP). In using discretion REMCO may adjust the vesting percentage
downwards, but will not adjust upwards without prior consultation with major shareholders. At target performance is equivalent to ranking positions
which would, in line with the vesting schedule and TSR underpin, lead to a total of 100% vesting of the initial LTIP award and release of 100% of the DBP performance matching shares. At maximum performance, 200% of the number of LTIP and DBP
performance matching shares awarded will vest. To deliver the shares under the LTIP and DBP, market-purchased shares are used rather than the issuing of new shares. STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS SHAREHOLDING AND SHARE INTERESTS (AUDITED) REMCO believes that Executive Directors should align their interests with those of shareholders by holding shares in Royal Dutch Shell plc. In a business where it can
take many years to reach a final investment decision on a project, and many further years of development before a facility comes on-stream, long-term shareholding properly aligns interests of Executive Directors with those of shareholders.

Shareholding guidelines Prior to the
proposed Directors Remuneration Policy becoming effective on January 1, 2015, the Chief Executive Officer is expected to build a shareholding with a value of 300% of base salary, and other Executive Directors a level of 200% of base salary.
Both Peter Voser and Simon Henry have already met their respective shareholding levels. There are no shareholding guidelines for Non-executive Directors.

Share interests of Directors and connected persons The interests (in shares of the Company or calculated equivalents) of the Directors in office during the year, including any interests of their connected persons, are set
out in the Directors share interests table on this page. There were no changes in Directors share interests during the period from
December 31, 2013, to March 12, 2014, except in the case of Peter Voser whose interests increased by 165,929 (A shares) and Simon Henry whose interests increased by 68,330 (B shares), in both cases resulting from the release of the 2011
LTIP and DBP awards which vested on February 27, 2014. In addition, Sir Nigel Sheinwalds share interests increased by 530 (B shares) as a result of a share purchase. As at March 12, 2014, the Directors and Senior Management (pages 58-60) of the Company beneficially owned individually and in aggregate (including shares under
option) less than 1% of the total shares of each class of the Company shares outstanding. Directors scheme interests The table below shows the aggregate position for Directors interests under share schemes at December 31, and share options exercised during the year. In respect of
Peter Voser, these are A shares, except for the share options which are B Shares. For Jeroen van der Veer, these are A shares, and for Simon Henry these are B shares. During the period from December 31, 2013, to March 12, 2014, scheme interests have
changed as a result of the vesting of the 2011 LTIP and DBP awards on February 27, 2014, and the 2014 LTIP and DBP awards made on January 31, 2014, as described on pages 91 and 87 respectively.

[A] Includes unvested long-term incentive awards and notional dividend shares accrued at December 31. Interests are shown on the basis of
the original awards. The shares subject to performance conditions can vest at between 0% and 200%. Dividend shares accumulate each year on an assumed notional LTIP/DBP award. Such dividend shares are disclosed and recorded on the basis of the number
of shares conditionally awarded but, when an award vests, dividend shares will be awarded only in relation to vested shares as if the vested shares were held from the award date. Shares released during the year are included in the
Directors share interests table.

[B] Total number of unvested LTIP shares at December 31, including dividend shares accrued on the original LTIP
award.

[C] The number of shares deferred from the bonus (original DBP award) and the dividend shares accrued on these at December 31. Delivery of the original DBP
award and the related dividends accrued is not subject to performance conditions.

[D] The target number of performance matching shares, which correspond to the
original DBP award. As per the operation of the DBP, half of the shares from the bonus deferral are matchable with performance matching shares. The actual number of performance matching shares will be determined at vesting on the same basis as the
LTIP vesting.

[E] Simon Henry exercised his remaining share options (32,583 B shares) on May 10, 2013. The grant price was £13.89 and the market price of B
shares at the date of exercise was £23.09.

Spend on pay can be compared with the major costs associated with generating income by referring to the Consolidated
Statement of Income. Over the last five years, the spend on pay has been less than 6% of the major costs of generating income. These costs are considered to be the sum of: purchases; production and manufacturing expenses; selling, distribution
and administrative expenses; research and development; exploration; and depreciation, depletion and amortisation. PAYMENTS TO PAST
DIRECTORS (AUDITED) On March 12, 2013, Malcolm Brindeds 2010 LTIP and DBP shares vested at 175%. The value at vest of the LTIP shares was 7,991,214 and the value at vest of the performance matching DBP shares was 1,007,216. His 2011 LTIP and DBP
awards vested at 60% on February 27, 2014. The value at vest of the prorated LTIP shares was 1,481,664 and the value at vest of the performance matching DBP shares was 453,577. Values have been calculated in line with the method used for the Single total figure of remuneration for Executive Directors table (page 89). Payments below 5,000 are not reported as they are considered de minimis below this level. TOTAL PENSION ENTITLEMENTS (AUDITED) During 2013, Peter
Voser and Simon Henry accrued retirement benefits under defined benefit plans. The pension accrued under these plans at December 31, 2013, is indicated in the table below. The age at which Peter Voser and Simon Henry can receive any pension benefit without consent and without actuarial reduction is 60. Any benefits on early retirement are
reduced using actuarial factors to reflect early payment. No payments were made regarding early retirement or in lieu of retirement benefits.  ACCRUED PENSION(AUDITED)

Pensionfonds der Shell Switzerland (PfdSS), the pension fund for Shell employees in Switzerland. The PfdSS provides him with pension benefits in defined benefit form up to the statutory salary cap for funded pensions in Switzerland. In addition,
Peter Voser has an individual savings account in the PfdSS, which was formed from the surplus value of his pension entitlements above the statutory salary cap when the cap was introduced on January 1, 2006. Peter Voser also has a personal pension arrangement given on his return to Shell in 2004 and implemented on January 1, 2006. This arrangement entitles him to additional
unfunded pension benefits such that his total pension benefits are equal to what they would have been if the statutory salary cap had not been established. Approximately half of his pension benefits are in the PfdSS and half will be delivered by the
unfunded arrangement. Simon Henry Simon Henry is a member of the Shell Overseas
Contributory Pension Fund (SOCPF) and the Shell Contributory Pension Fund (SCPF), with both funded pension arrangements providing pension benefits in defined benefit form. The SOCPF provides benefits in respect of his periods of employment outside
the UK, while the SCPF provides benefits in respect of his periods of employment in the UK. Simon Henry has elected to have his benefits from the SCPF restricted to the UK lifetime allowance with any excess provided from an unfunded arrangement, the
Shell Supplementary Pension Plan (SSPP). Jeroen van der Veer Jeroen van der Veer
served as a Non-executive Director during 2013, but retired from Shell service on July 1, 2009, and is a pensioner. He did not accrue pension benefits during 2013.


EXTERNAL APPOINTMENTS The Board considers external appointments to be valuable in broadening Executive Directors knowledge and experience. The number of outside directorships is
generally limited to one. The Board must explicitly approve such appointments. Executive Directors are allowed to retain any cash or share-based compensation they receive from such external board directorships.  EXTERNAL APPOINTMENTS

|97 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Our
opinion In our opinion the Consolidated Financial Statements of Royal Dutch Shell plc (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively Shell):  n

give a true and fair view of the state of Shells affairs as at December 31, 2013, and of Shells income and cash flows for the year then ended; n

have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union; and n

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. This opinion is to be read in the context of what we say in the remainder of this report. Separate opinion in relation to IFRSs as issued by the IASB As explained in Note 1
to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Shell, in addition to complying with its legal obligation to apply IFRSs as adopted by the European Union, has also applied IFRSs as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In our opinion the Consolidated Financial Statements comply with IFRSs as issued by the IASB. What we have audited The Consolidated Financial Statements, which are prepared by
Shell, comprise:  n

the Consolidated Statement of Income and Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2013; n

the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at December 31, 2013; n

the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2013; and n

the related Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation comprises applicable law, IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. Certain disclosures required by the financial reporting framework have been presented elsewhere in the Royal Dutch Shell plc Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year
ended December 31, 2013 (the Annual Report), rather than in the Consolidated Financial Statements. These are cross-referenced from the Consolidated Financial Statements and are identified as audited. What an audit of financial statements involves We conducted our audit in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) (ISAs (UK and Ireland)). An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the
Consolidated Financial Statements are free from


material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of:  n

whether the accounting policies are appropriate to Shells circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; n

the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Directors; and n

the overall presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, we read all the financial and
non-financial information in the Annual Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with,
the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. Overview of our audit approach MATERIALITY We set certain thresholds for materiality. These helped us to determine the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements,
both individually and on the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole. Based on our judgement, we determined materiality for the Consolidated Financial
Statements as a whole to be $1,675 million, representing approximately 5% of income before taxation. We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them
misstatements identified during our audit above $75 million, as well as misstatements below that amount which, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons. OVERVIEW OF THE SCOPE OF OUR AUDIT Shell is structured along three reportable
segments being Upstream, Downstream and Corporate. The Consolidated Financial Statements are a consolidation of 562 reporting units, comprising Shells operating businesses and centralised functions spread across more than 70 countries. In establishing the overall approach to the audit, we determined the type of work that needed to be performed at the reporting units by us, as the group engagement team,
or component auditors within PwC UK and from other PwC network firms operating under our instruction. Where the work was performed by component auditors, we determined the level of involvement we needed to have in the audit work at those reporting
units to be able to conclude whether sufficient appropriate audit evidence had been obtained as a basis for our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole. Accordingly, of Shells reporting units, we identified 40 which, in our view, required an audit of their complete financial information, either due to their overall
size or their risk characteristics. Specific audit procedures on certain balances and transactions were performed on a further 38 reporting units. These 78 reporting units represented 65% of consolidated revenue and 57% of consolidated assets. Of the remaining reporting units, 185 were subject to analysis of period on period movements, with a focus on higher risk balances and unusual movements and additional
audit procedures over specific transactions (for example, acquisitions and divestments). This provided us with the evidence we needed for our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole. The remaining reporting units were considered
to be immaterial individually and in aggregate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLCCONTINUED AREAS OF PARTICULAR AUDIT FOCUS In preparing the
Consolidated Financial Statements, the Directors made a number of judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. We primarily
focused our work in these areas by assessing the Directors judgements against available evidence, forming our own judgements, and evaluating the disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements. In our audit, we tested and examined information, using sampling and other auditing techniques, to the extent that we considered necessary to provide a reasonable basis
for us to draw conclusions. We obtained audit evidence through testing the effectiveness of controls, substantive procedures or a combination of both. We considered
the following areas to be those that required particular focus in the current year. This is not a complete list of all risks or areas of particular focus identified by our audit. We discussed these areas of focus with the Audit Committee. Their
description of those matters that they considered to be significant issues in relation to the Consolidated Financial Statements is set out on page 75.  Area of focus

How the scope of our audit addressed the area of focusImpairment of property, plant and equipment; intangible assets; and joint ventures and associates
The assessment of asset fair values and potential impairment depends heavily on management judgement, particularly estimates of future cash flows, inflation rates and
long-term prices.

We assessed controls over the identification of assets which were at risk of impairment. We considered the appropriateness of impairment charges recognised
in the year, focusing on the timing, completeness and accuracy of the amounts recognised. As part of this assessment, we tested key assumptions underlying the cash flow forecasts, including the inflation rates, long-term prices and risk adjustments.
Where relevant, we also considered other data points, such as third party valuation reports. We considered the appropriateness of the discount rate used to reflect the time value of money.Taxation Certain judgements
are made when determining both the appropriate amounts to provide in respect of potential income tax exposures and the assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets.

We performed testing over the analysis of individual tax exposures in certain reporting units along with the analysis of the recoverability of deferred tax
assets. This included testing the rates applied to provisions and deferred tax balances, probability assessments of the potential outcomes and obtaining corroborative evidence from communications received from the relevant tax
authorities.


Area of focus

How the scope of our audit addressed the area of focusDecommissioning and restoration provisions
The calculation of decommissioning and restoration provisions requires significant judgement regarding asset lives, future costs and production rate estimates.

We performed testing over key assumptions underpinning material decommissioning and restoration provisions. This included performing sensitivity analyses
over changes in forecasts. We also tested the accuracy of calculations and evaluated the appropriateness of the discount rate used to reflect the time value of money.Gross and net presentation of balances
The correct presentation of commodity trading balances on the balance sheet is dependent on both the contractual terms and management intent in regards to how receivables
and payables held with the same counterparty will be settled.  The correct presentation of
commodity trading transactions in the income statement is contingent on the nature and intent of the transaction.

We performed testing over the process used to identify contracts with legal right of offset and the
settlement of outstanding positions. We examined corroborative evidence including master netting agreements and verified managements intent through review of third party confirmations and actual settlements throughout the period.
 We performed testing over the processes used to segregate contracts held for trading purposes. This
testing focused on the determination of gross and net presentation in the income statement based on the nature and intent of the transaction.Fraud in revenue recognition  unrealised commodity trading revenue
Auditing standards identify revenue recognition as an area that is particularly susceptible to fraud. The management judgement involved in estimating unrealised revenue
increases the potential for fraud.

We assessed the overall commodity trading process, including internal risk management procedures and the system controls for entering and maintaining
complete and accurate information related to trading deals. We tested the valuation of unsettled derivative contracts at the period end date which require the use of valuation models. Our audit procedures focused on appropriate selection and
application of these models based on the contract terms and the key assumptions, including price curves and discount rates.Risk of management override of internal controls
Auditing standards require that we consider this.

We considered whether there was evidence of bias by the Directors in the significant accounting estimates and judgements relevant to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. We tested manual journal entries at in scope reporting locations. We also assessed the overall control environment, including the arrangements for staff to whistle-blow inappropriate actions, and interviewed senior
management and Shells internal audit function.

|99 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Going concern Under the Listing Rules
we are required to review the Directors statement, set out on page 62, in relation to going concern. We have nothing to report having performed our review. As
noted in the Directors statement, the Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements using the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis presumes that Shell has adequate
resources to remain in operation, and that the Directors intend it to do so, for at least one year from the date that the Consolidated Financial Statements were signed. As part of our audit we have concluded that the Directors use of the going
concern basis is appropriate. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, these statements are not a guarantee as to Shells ability
to continue as a going concern. OPINION ON OTHER MATTER PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006 In our opinion the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors Report for the financial year for which the Consolidated Financial Statements are
prepared is consistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements. OTHER MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION Adequacy of information and explanations received Under the Companies Act 2006 we
are required to report to you if, in our opinion, we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. Directors remuneration Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report
to you if, in our opinion, certain disclosures of Directors remuneration specified by law have not been made. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. Corporate Governance statement Under the Listing Rules we are required to review the
part of the Corporate Governance statement relating to the Companys compliance with nine provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the Code). We have nothing to report having performed our review. On page 62 of the Annual Report, as required by the Code Provision C.1.1, the Directors state that they consider the Annual Report including the financial statements
taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for members to assess Shells performance, business model and strategy. On page 75, as required by C.3.8 of the Code, the Audit Committee has set out
the significant issues that it considered in relation to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and how they were addressed. Under ISAs (UK and Ireland) we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:  n

the statement given by the Directors is materially inconsistent with our knowledge of Shell acquired in the course of performing our audit; or


n

the section of the Annual Report describing the work of the Audit Committee does not appropriately address matters communicated by us to the Audit Committee. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. Other information
in the Annual Report Under ISAs (UK and Ireland), we are required to report to you if, in our opinion, information in the Annual Report is:  n

materially inconsistent with the information in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements; or n

apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, our knowledge of Shell acquired in the course of performing our audit; or n

is otherwise misleading. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE AUDIT Our
responsibilities and those of the Directors As explained more fully in the Directors Responsibilities Statement set out on page 61, the Directors are
responsible for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit
and express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and ISAs (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Boards Ethical Standards for Auditors. This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the Companys members as a body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act
2006 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior
consent in writing. OTHER MATTER We have reported separately on the Parent
Company Financial Statements of Royal Dutch Shell plc for the year ended December 31, 2013 and on the information in the Directors Remuneration Report that is described as having been audited.

Auditors London March 12, 2014 Note that the report set out above is included for the purposes of Royal Dutch Shell plcs Annual Report and Accounts for 2013 only and does not form part of

|100 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | REPORTS.SHELL.COM



REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC SHAREHOLDERS In our opinion, the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated
Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Royal Dutch Shell plc (the Company) and its
subsidiaries (collectively Shell) at December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with International Financial Reporting
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The
Companys management is responsible for these Consolidated Financial Statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting,
included in Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting of Shell set out on page 69. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these Consolidated Financial Statements and on the Companys internal control over
financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the Consolidated
Financial Statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial


reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. As discussed in Notes 1 and 2, Shell changed the manner in which it accounts for retirement benefits in 2013, which resulted in the inclusion of the Consolidated Balance
Sheet at December 31, 2011. A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management
and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

|NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Consolidated Financial Statements of Royal Dutch Shell plc (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as Shell) have been prepared in accordance
with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 and Article 4 of the International Accounting Standards (IAS) Regulation and, therefore, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. As applied
to Shell, there are no material differences from IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB); therefore, the Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

As described in the accounting policies in Note 2, the Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain items
measured at fair value. Those accounting policies have been applied consistently in all periods presented, as described below.

The Consolidated Financial Statements
were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on March 12, 2014.

Accounting standards adopted in 2013

Revised IAS 19 Employee Benefitswas adopted on January 1, 2013, with retrospective effect. The revision eliminates the use of the corridor method of
accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets arising in connection with defined benefit plans and introduces changes to the way in which such plans are accounted for in income and other comprehensive income. Comparative
information is restated. The revised accounting policy is presented in Note 2; the impacts of the revision on Shells Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Note 28.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entitiesand revised standards
IAS 27 Separate Financial Statementsand IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures were adopted on January 1, 2013. The standards reinforce the principles for determining when an investor controls another entity,
amend in certain cases the accounting for arrangements where an investor has joint control and introduce changes to certain disclosures. The impact of the changes on the accounting for Shells interests is not significant; comparative
information is therefore not restated.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurementwas adopted on January 1, 2013, with prospective effect. The standard affects
nearly all instances where assets and liabilities are currently recognised or disclosed at fair value, primarily by refining the measurement concept to reflect an asset or liabilitys exit value. The standard also introduces certain additional
considerations to the measurement process and additional disclosures. The impact of the changes for Shell is not significant.

Revised IAS 1 Presentation of
Financial Statements changes the presentation of items in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income to distinguish between those items of other comprehensive income that under other accounting standards may be reclassified to income in
later periods and those that are not. Comparative information is consistently presented.

Revised IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosuresintroduces
disclosures relating to the offsetting of certain financial assets and financial liabilities, principally derivative contracts and trade receivables and payables (see Note 20).

Accounting standards not yet adopted

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments was revised
in 2013 to more closely align hedge accounting with an entitys risk mitigation strategies and may result in greater use of hedge accounting in Shell, once implemented. IFRS 9 also changes the classification and measurement of financial assets
and financial liabilities, the effect of which for Shell is principally limited to investments in securities, some of which may be measured differently under the standard. The full impact of the changes will not be known until development of the
accounting standard, for which there is no effective date, is complete.



2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of the
Consolidated Financial Statements

The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in US dollars (dollars) and include the financial statements of the Company and
its subsidiaries, being those entities over which the Company, either directly or indirectly, has control through exposure or rights to their variable returns and the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entities. Information
about significant subsidiaries at December 31, 2013, is set out in Exhibit 8.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained until the
date that such control ceases, using consistent accounting policies. All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from such transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the
transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Non-controlling interest represents the proportion of income, other comprehensive income and net assets in subsidiaries that is not attributable to the Companys
shareholders.

Nature of operations and segmental reporting

Shell is engaged in
the principal aspects of the oil and gas industry in more than 70 countries and reports its business through three segments. Upstream combines the operating segments Upstream International and Upstream Americas, which have similar characteristics
and are engaged in exploring for and recovering crude oil and natural gas; the liquefaction and transportation of gas; the extraction of bitumen from oil sands that is converted into synthetic crude oil; and wind energy. Downstream is engaged in
manufacturing, supply and distribution and marketing activities for oil products and chemicals; alternative energy (excluding wind); and CO2 management. Corporate represents the key support
functions,

[Note 2 continued]



comprising holdings and treasury, headquarters, central functions and Shells self-insurance activities. Integrated within the Upstream and Downstream segments are Shells trading
activities. Sales between segments are based on prices generally equivalent to commercially available prices.

Segment earnings are presented on a current cost of
supplies basis (CCS earnings). On this basis, the purchase price of volumes sold during the period is based on the current cost of supplies during the same period after making allowance for the tax effect. CCS earnings therefore exclude the effect
of changes in the oil price on inventory carrying amounts. Net capital investment is defined as capital expenditure as reported in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, adjusted for: proceeds from disposals (excluding other investments (net) in
the Corporate segment); exploration expense excluding exploration wells written off; investments in joint ventures and associates; and leases and other items. CCS earnings and net capital investment information are the dominant measures used by the
Chief Executive Officer for the purposes of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance.

Currency translation

Foreign currency transactions are translated using the exchange rate at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at quarter-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (including those in respect of inter-company balances unless
related to loans of a long-term investment nature) are recognised in income, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges, and presented within interest and other income or within purchases where not related to financing. Share
capital issued in currencies other than the dollar is translated at the exchange rate at the date of issue.

On consolidation, assets and liabilities of non-dollar
entities are translated to dollars at year-end rates of exchange, while their statements of income, other comprehensive income and cash flows are translated at quarterly average rates. The resulting translation differences are recognised as currency
translation differences within other comprehensive income. Upon divestment of all or part of an interest in, or upon liquidation of, an entity, the appropriate portion of cumulative currency translation differences related to that entity are
generally recognised in income.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from sales of oil,
natural gas, chemicals and other products is recognised at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, after deducting sales taxes, excise duties and similar levies, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been
transferred, which is when title passes to the customer. For sales by Upstream operations, this generally occurs when product is physically transferred into a vessel, pipe or other delivery mechanism; for sales by refining operations, it is either
when product is placed onboard a vessel or offloaded from the vessel, depending on the contractually agreed terms; and for wholesale sales of oil products and chemicals it is either at the point of delivery or the point of receipt, depending on
contractual conditions.

Revenue resulting from the production of oil and natural gas from properties in which Shell has an interest with partners in joint
arrangements is recognised on the basis of Shells working interest (entitlement method). Revenue resulting from the production of oil and natural gas under production-sharing contracts is recognised for those amounts relating to Shells
cost recoveries and Shells share of the remaining production. Gains and losses on derivative contracts and the revenue and costs associated with other contracts that are classified as held for trading purposes are reported on a net basis in
the Consolidated Statement of Income. Purchases and sales of hydrocarbons under exchange contracts that are necessary to obtain or reposition feedstock for refinery operations are presented net in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Research and development

Development costs that are expected to generate probable
future economic benefits are capitalised as intangible assets. All other research and development expenditure is recognised in income as incurred.

Exploration
costs

Oil and natural gas exploration costs are accounted for under the successful efforts method: exploration costs are recognised in income when incurred, except
that exploratory drilling costs are included in property, plant and equipment pending determination of proved reserves. Exploration costs capitalised in respect of exploration wells that are more than 12 months old are written off unless
(a) proved reserves are booked, or (b) (i) they have found commercially producible quantities of reserves, and (ii) they are subject to further exploration or appraisal activity in that either drilling of additional exploratory
wells is underway or firmly planned for the near future or other activities are being undertaken to sufficiently progress the assessing of reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

A  RECOGNITION

Property, plant and equipment comprise assets owned by Shell, assets held by Shell under finance leases and assets operated by Shell as contractor in
production-sharing contracts. They include rights and concessions in respect of properties with proved reserves (proved properties) and with no proved reserves (unproved properties). Property, plant and equipment, including expenditure on major
inspections, and intangible assets are initially recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at cost where it is probable that they will generate future economic benefits. This includes capitalisation of decommissioning and restoration costs
associated with provisions for asset retirement (see Provisions), certain development costs (see Research and development) and the effects of associated cash flow hedges (see Derivative contracts) as applicable.
The accounting for exploration costs is described separately (see Exploration costs). Intangible assets include goodwill, capitalised software costs and trademarks. Interest is capitalised, as an increase in property, plant and
equipment, on major capital projects during construction.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation, depletion and amortisation (including any impairment). Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amounts of assets sold and are recognised in income, within interest and other income.

B  DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTISATION

Property, plant and equipment related to hydrocarbon production activities are depreciated on a unit-of-production basis over the proved developed reserves of the field
concerned, except in the case of assets whose useful lives differ from the lifetime of the field, in which case the straight-line method is applied. Rights and concessions in respect of proved properties are depleted on the unit-of-production basis
over the total proved reserves of the relevant area. Where individually insignificant, unproved properties may be grouped and depreciated based on factors such as the average concession term and past experience of recognising proved reserves.

Other property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are depreciated and amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, except for goodwill,
which is not amortised. They include major inspection costs, which are depreciated over the estimated period before the next planned major inspection (three to five years), and the following:

|Trademarks                                              |  |  | 40 years    | 

Estimates of the useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed annually and
adjusted if appropriate.

C  IMPAIRMENT

The carrying amount of
goodwill is tested for impairment annually; in addition, assets other than unproved properties (see Exploration costs) are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts for those
assets may not be recoverable. If assets are determined to be impaired, the carrying amounts of those assets are written down to their recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell (see Fair value measurements)
and value-in-use.

Value-in-use is determined as the amount of estimated risk-adjusted discounted future cash flows. For this purpose, assets are grouped into
cash-generating units based on separately identifiable and largely independent cash inflows. Estimates of future cash flows used in the evaluation of impairment of assets are made using managements forecasts of commodity prices, market supply
and demand, product margins and, in the case of exploration and production assets, expected production volumes. The latter takes into account assessments of field and reservoir performance and includes expectations about both proved reserves and
volumes that are expected to constitute proved reserves in the future (unproved volumes), which are risk-weighted utilising geological, production, recovery and economic projections. Cash flow estimates are risk-adjusted to reflect local conditions
as appropriate and discounted at a rate based on Shells marginal cost of debt.

Impairments, except those related to goodwill, are reversed as applicable to
the extent that the events or circumstances that triggered the original impairment have changed.

Impairment charges and reversals are reported within depreciation,
depletion and amortisation.

On reclassification as held for sale, the carrying amounts of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are also reviewed and,
where appropriate, written down to their fair value less costs to sell. No further provision for depreciation, depletion or amortisation is charged.

Leases

Agreements under which payments are made to owners in return for the right to use an asset for a period are accounted for as leases. Leases that transfer substantially
all the risks and rewards of ownership are recognised at the commencement of the lease term as finance leases within property, plant and equipment and debt at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease
payments. Finance lease payments are apportioned between interest expense and repayments of debt. All other leases are classified as operating leases, and the cost is recognised in income on a straight-line basis.

Joint arrangements and associates

Arrangements under which Shell has contractually
agreed to share control (see Nature of the Consolidated Financial Statements) with another party or parties are joint ventures where the parties have rights to the net assets of the arrangement, or joint operations where the parties have
rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement. Investments in entities over which Shell has the right to exercise significant influence but neither control nor joint control are classified as associates.

Investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method, under which the investment is initially recognised at cost and subsequently
adjusted for the Shell share of post-acquisition income less dividends received and the Shell share of other comprehensive income and other movements in equity, together with any loans of a long-term investment nature. Where necessary, adjustments
are made to the financial statements of joint ventures and associates to bring the accounting policies used into line with those of Shell. In an exchange of assets and liabilities for an interest in a joint venture, the non-Shell share of any excess
of the fair value of the assets and liabilities transferred over the pre-exchange carrying amounts is recognised in income. Unrealised gains on other transactions between Shell and its joint ventures and associates are eliminated to the extent of
Shells interest in them; unrealised losses are treated similarly but may also result in an assessment of whether the asset transferred is impaired.

[Note 2 continued]



Shell recognises its assets and liabilities relating to its interests in joint operations, including its share of assets held jointly and liabilities incurred jointly
with other partners.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at cost or net
realisable value, whichever is lower. Cost comprises direct purchase costs (including transportation), cost of production and manufacturing and taxes, and is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for oil and chemicals and by the
weighted average cost method for materials.

Taxation

The charge for current tax
is calculated based on the income reported by the Company and its subsidiaries, as adjusted for items that are non-taxable or disallowed and using rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred taxation is determined, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts
in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and on tax losses and credits carried forward.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using the enacted or
substantively enacted rates that are expected to apply when the asset or liability is recovered. They are not recognised where they arise on the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction (other than in a business
combination) that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, or in respect of taxes on possible future distributions of retained earnings of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates where the timing of the
distribution can be controlled by Shell and it is probable that the retained earnings will be reinvested by the entities concerned.

Deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Income taxes are
recognised in income except when they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income, in which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income. Income tax assets and liabilities are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet except where there is a right of set-off within fiscal jurisdictions and an intention to settle such balances on a net basis.

Retirement benefits

Benefits in the form of retirement pensions and healthcare and life insurance are provided to certain employees and retirees under defined benefit and defined
contribution plans.

Obligations under defined benefit plans are calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method, which takes
into account employees years of service and, for pensions, average or final pensionable remuneration, and are discounted to their present value using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds denominated in the currency in which the
benefits will be paid and of a duration consistent with the plan obligations. Where plans are funded, payments are made to independently managed trusts; assets held by those trusts are measured at fair value.

The amounts recognised in income in respect of defined benefit plans mainly comprise service cost and interest. Service cost comprises principally the increase in the
present value of the obligation for benefits resulting from employee service during the year and also amounts relating to past service and settlements of plans. Interest is calculated using the discount rate on the net defined benefit liability or
asset at the beginning of each year for each plan. Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability or asset resulting from actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets excluding the amount recognised in income are recognised in other
comprehensive income.

For defined contribution plans, pension expense represents the amount of employer contributions payable for the year.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised at the balance sheet date at managements
best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation. Non-current amounts are discounted at a rate intended to reflect the time value of money. Specific details for decommissioning and restoration costs are described below. The
carrying amounts of provisions are regularly reviewed and adjusted for new facts or changes in law or technology.

Provisions for decommissioning and restoration
costs, which arise principally in connection with hydrocarbon production facilities and pipelines, are measured on the basis of current requirements, technology and price levels; the present value is calculated using amounts discounted over the
useful economic life of the assets. The liability is recognised (together with a corresponding amount as part of the related property, plant and equipment) once an obligation crystallises in the period when a reasonable estimate can be made. The
effects of changes resulting from revisions to the timing or the amount of the original estimate of the provision are reflected on a prospective basis, generally by adjustment to the carrying amount of the related property, plant and equipment.

Other provisions are recognised in income in the period in which an obligation arises and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Provisions are measured based on
current legal requirements and existing technology where applicable. Recognition of any joint and several liability is based on managements best estimate of the final pro rata share of the liability. Provisions are determined independently of
expected insurance recoveries. Recoveries are recognised and reported as separate events and brought into account when virtually certain of realisation.

Financial instruments and other derivative contracts

A  FINANCIAL ASSETS

Investments in securities

Investments in securities (also referred to as securities) comprise equity and debt securities classified on initial recognition as available-for-sale and are
carried at fair value, except where their fair value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are carried at cost, less any impairment. Unrealised holding gains and losses other than impairments are recognised in other comprehensive income,
except for translation differences arising on foreign currency debt securities, which are recognised in income. On maturity or disposal, net gains and losses previously deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognised in income.

Interest income on debt securities is recognised in income using the effective interest method. Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when
receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise
cash at bank and in hand, including offsetting bank overdrafts, short-term deposits, reverse repos, money market funds and similar instruments that have a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition.

Receivables

Receivables are recognised initially at fair value based on
amounts exchanged and subsequently at amortised cost less any impairment.

B  FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Debt and accounts payable are recognised initially at fair value based on amounts exchanged, net of transaction costs, and subsequently at amortised cost, except for
fixed rate debt subject to fair value hedging, which is remeasured for the hedged risk (see Derivative contracts).

Interest expense on debt is accounted
for using the effective interest method and, other than interest capitalised, is recognised in income.

C  DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS

Derivatives are used in the management of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and commodity price risk, and in the management of foreign currency cash balances.
These derivative contracts are recognised at fair value.

Those derivatives qualifying and designated as hedges are either: (i) a fair value hedge
of the change in fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm commitment, or (ii) a cash flow hedge of the change in cash flows to be received or paid relating to a recognised asset or liability or a highly
probable forecasted transaction.

A change in the fair value of a hedging instrument designated as a fair value hedge is recognised in income, together with the
consequential adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item. The effective portion of a change in fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income until the hedged transaction occurs; any
ineffective portion is recognised in income. Where the hedged item is a non-financial asset or liability, the amount in accumulated other comprehensive income is transferred to the initial carrying amount of the asset or liability; for other hedged
items, the amount in accumulated other comprehensive income is recognised in income when the hedged transaction affects income.

All relationships between hedging
instruments and hedged items are documented, as well as risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. The effectiveness of a hedge is also continually assessed and, when it ceases, hedge accounting is discontinued.

Gains and losses on derivatives not qualifying and designated as hedges, including forward sale and purchase contracts for commodities in trading operations that
may be settled by the physical delivery or receipt of the commodity, are recognised in income.

Unless designated as hedging instruments, contracts to sell or
purchase non-financial items that can be settled net as if the contracts were financial instruments and that do not meet expected own use requirements (typically, forward sale and purchase contracts for commodities in trading operations), and
contracts that are or contain written options, are recognised at fair value; associated gains and losses are recognised in income.

Derivatives embedded within
contracts that are not already required to be recognised at fair value, and that are not closely related to the host contract in terms of economic characteristics and risks, are separated from their host contract and recognised at fair value;
associated gains and losses are recognised in income.

Fair value measurements

Fair value measurements are estimates of the amounts for which assets or liabilities could be transferred at the measurement date, based on the assumption that such
transfers take place between participants in principal markets and, where applicable, taking highest and best use into account. Where available, fair value measurements are derived from prices quoted in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities. In the absence of such information, other observable inputs are used to estimate fair value. Inputs derived from external sources are corroborated or otherwise verified, as appropriate. In the absence of publicly available information,
fair value is determined using estimation techniques that take into account market perspectives relevant to the asset or liability, in as far as they can reasonably be ascertained, based on predominantly unobservable inputs. For derivative contracts
where publicly available information is not available, fair value estimations are generally determined using models and other valuation methods, the key inputs for which include future prices, volatility, price correlation, counterparty credit risk
and market liquidity, as appropriate; for other assets and liabilities, fair value estimations are generally based on the net present value of expected future cash flows.

[Note 2 continued]



Share-based compensation plans

The fair value of share-based compensation for the
Performance Share Plan (the main equity-settled plan) is estimated using a Monte Carlo pricing model and is recognised in income from the date of grant over the vesting period with a corresponding increase directly in equity. The periodic change in
the fair value of share-based compensation for cash-settled plans is recognised in income with a corresponding change in liabilities.

Shares held in trust

Shares in the Company held by employee share ownership trusts are not included in assets but are reflected at cost as a deduction from equity as shares held in trust.

Acquisitions and disposals of interests in a business

Assets acquired and
liabilities assumed when control is obtained over a business are recognised at their fair value at the date of the acquisition; the amount of the purchase consideration above this value is recognised as goodwill, with any non-controlling interest
recognised as the proportionate share of the identifiable net assets.

Consolidated Statement of Income presentation

Purchases reflect all costs related to the acquisition of inventories, the effects of the changes therein, and include supplies used for conversion into finished or
intermediate products. Production and manufacturing expenses are the costs of operating, maintaining and managing production and manufacturing assets. Selling, distribution and administrative expenses include direct and indirect costs of
marketing and selling products.



3 KEY ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

In order to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS, management has to make estimates and judgements. The matters described below are
considered to be the most important in understanding the judgements that are involved in preparing these statements and the uncertainties that could impact the amounts reported in the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Shells accounting policies are described in Note 2.

Estimation of proved oil and gas reserves

Unit-of-production depreciation, depletion and amortisation charges are principally measured based on managements estimates of proved developed oil and gas
reserves. Also, exploration drilling costs are capitalised pending the results of further exploration or appraisal activity, which may take several years to complete and before any related proved reserves can be booked.

Proved reserves are estimated by reference to available geological and engineering data and only include volumes for which access to market is assured with reasonable
certainty. Estimates of proved reserves are inherently imprecise, require the application of judgement and are subject to regular revision, either upward or downward, based on new information such as from the drilling of additional wells,
observation of long-term reservoir performance under producing conditions and changes in economic factors, including product prices, contract terms or development plans.

Changes to estimates of proved developed reserves affect prospectively the amounts of depreciation, depletion and amortisation charged and, consequently, the carrying
amounts of exploration and production assets. It is expected, however, that in the normal course of business the diversity of the asset portfolio will limit the effect of such revisions. The outcome of, or assessment of plans for, exploration or
appraisal activity may result in the related capitalised exploration drilling costs being recognised in income in that period.

Information about the carrying
amounts of exploration and production assets and the amounts charged to income, including depreciation, depletion and amortisation, is presented in Note 9.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

For the purposes
of determining whether impairment of assets has occurred, and the extent of any impairment or its reversal, the key assumptions management uses in estimating risk-adjusted future cash flows for value-in-use measures are future oil and gas prices,
expected production volumes and refining margins appropriate to the local circumstances and environment. These assumptions and the judgements of management that are based on them are subject to change as new information becomes available. Changes in
economic conditions can also affect the rate used to discount future cash flow estimates.

Future price assumptions tend to be stable because management does not
consider short-term increases or decreases in prices as being indicative of long-term levels, but they are nonetheless subject to change. Expected production volumes, which comprise proved reserves and unproved volumes, are used for impairment
testing because management believes this to be the most appropriate indicator of expected future cash flows. As discussed in Estimation of proved oil and gas reserves, reserves estimates are inherently imprecise. Furthermore, projections
about unproved volumes are based on information that is necessarily less robust than that available for mature reservoirs. Due to the nature and geographical spread of the business activity in which those assets are used, it is typically not
practicable to estimate the likelihood or extent of impairments under different sets of assumptions. The discount rate applied is reviewed annually.

Changes in
assumptions could affect the carrying amounts of assets, and impairment charges and reversals will affect income.

Information about the carrying amounts of assets
and impairments is presented in Notes 8 and 9.

Defined benefit pension plans

Defined
benefit obligations and plan assets, and the resulting liabilities and assets that are recognised, are subject to significant volatility as actuarial assumptions regarding future outcomes and market values change. Substantial judgement is required
in determining the actuarial assumptions, which vary for the different plans to reflect local conditions but are determined under a common process in consultation with independent actuaries. The assumptions applied in respect of each plan are
reviewed annually and adjusted where necessary to reflect changes in experience and actuarial recommendations.

Information about the amounts reported in respect of
defined benefit pension plans, assumptions applicable to the principal plans and their sensitivity to changes are presented in Note 18.

Decommissioning and
restoration provisions

Provisions are recognised for the future decommissioning and restoration of hydrocarbon production facilities and pipelines at the end of
their economic lives. The estimated cost is recognised in income over the life of the proved developed reserves on a unit-of-production basis or on a straight-line basis, as applicable. Changes in the estimates of costs to be incurred, proved
developed reserves or in the rate of production will therefore impact income, generally over the remaining economic life of the related assets.

Estimates of the
amounts of provisions recognised are based on current legal and constructive requirements, technology and price levels. Because actual outflows can differ from estimates due to changes in laws, regulations, public expectations, technology, prices
and conditions, and can take place many years in the future, the carrying amounts of provisions are regularly reviewed and adjusted to take account of such changes. The discount rate applied is reviewed annually.

Information about decommissioning and restoration provisions is presented in Note 19.

Taxation

Tax liabilities are recognised when it is considered probable that there
will be a future outflow of funds to a taxing authority. In such cases, provision is made for the amount that is expected to be settled, where this can be reasonably estimated. This requires the application of judgement as to the ultimate outcome,
which can change over time depending on facts and circumstances. A change in estimate of the likelihood of a future outflow and/or in the expected amount to be settled would be recognised in income in the period in which the change occurs.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent it is considered probable that those assets will be recoverable. This involves an assessment of when those assets
are likely to reverse, and a judgement as to whether or not there will be sufficient taxable profits available to offset the assets when they do reverse. This requires assumptions regarding future profitability and is therefore inherently uncertain.
To the extent assumptions regarding future profitability change, there can be an increase or decrease in the amounts recognised in respect of deferred tax assets as well as in the amounts recognised in income in the period in which the change
occurs.

Information about taxation charges, deferred tax liabilities and recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets is presented in Note 17.

Impairment losses in 2013 arose principally in Upstream in respect of the US tight-gas and liquids-rich shale portfolio, including the
Eagle Ford and Kansas Mississippi Lime properties. Certain of these assets were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2013. Impairment losses in 2012 were driven generally by changes in development and production plans in Upstream and, in
2011, by lower refining margins in Downstream. Impairment losses and reversals analysed by segment are presented in Note 4.

Capitalised exploration drilling costs

11 INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES

Investments in securities at December 31, 2013, comprise equity and debt securities. Equity securities principally comprise 15% interests in each of Malaysia LNG Dua
Sendirian Berhad and Malaysia LNG Tiga Sendirian Berhad. Debt securities comprise a portfolio required to be held by Shells insurance entities as security for their activities.

Equity and debt securities carried at fair value totalled $4,449 million at December 31, 2013 (2012: $4,623 million), with the remainder carried at cost. Of these,
$1,283 million (2012: $1,342 million) are measured by reference to prices in active markets for identical assets, and $3,166 million (2012: $3,281 million) are measured by reference to predominantly unobservable inputs. Assets in the latter
category, all of which are equity securities, are measured based on expected dividend flows, adjusted for country and other risks as appropriate and discounted to their present value. In the case of the Malaysia LNG investments referred to above,
were the oil price assumption used in their valuation to be decreased by $10 per barrel with no change in other measurement inputs, their carrying amount would decrease by $354 million (2012: $230 million). Movements in the carrying amounts of
investments in securities measured using predominantly unobservable inputs were as follows:

CAPITAL STRUCTURE MANAGEMENT

Shell
managements financial strategy is to manage Shells assets and liabilities with the aim that, across the business cycle, cash in at least equals cash out while maintaining a strong balance sheet.

A key measure of Shells capital structure management is the proportion of debt to equity. Across the business cycle, management aims to manage gearing (net debt as
a percentage of total capital (net debt plus total equity)) within the range of 0-30%. During 2013, gearing ranged from 9.1% to 16.1% (2012, restated: 8.6% to 13.9%) and at December 31, 2013, it was 16.1% (2012, restated: 9.8%), derived as
follows:

|Gearing       |  |  | 16.1%   |  |  |  | 9.8%         | 

With respect to the objective of maintaining a strong balance sheet, management prioritises the application of cash to the servicing of
debt commitments, paying dividends, investing for organic and inorganic growth and returning surplus cash to shareholders.

Managements policy is to grow the
US dollar dividend through time in line with its view of Shells underlying earnings and cash flow.

The movement in net debt was as follows:

BORROWING FACILITIES

Shell has access to international debt capital markets
via two commercial paper (CP) programmes, a euro medium-term note (EMTN) programme and a US universal shelf (US shelf) registration. Issuances under the CP programmes are supported by a committed credit facility and cash. These arrangements and
undrawn facilities at December 31 are summarised as follows:

Under the CP programmes, Shell can issue debt of up to $10 billion with maturities not exceeding 270 days and $10 billion with maturities
not exceeding 397 days.

The EMTN programme is updated each year, most recently in August 2013. No debt was issued under this programme in 2013 (2012: $nil).

The US shelf registration provides Shell with the flexibility to issue debt securities, ordinary shares, preferred shares and warrants. The registration is updated every
three years and was last updated in October 2011. During 2013, debt totalling $7,750 million (2012: $4,250 million) was issued under the registration.

The committed
credit facility is available on same-day terms, at pre-agreed margins, and is due to expire in 2018 but may, by mutual agreement, be extended for a further one or two years. The terms and availability are not conditional on Shells financial
ratios or its financial credit ratings.

In addition, other subsidiaries have access to short-term bank facilities totalling $3,631 million at December 31, 2013
(2012: $3,717 million).

Information about liquidity risk is presented in Note 20.

B  Debt (excluding finance lease liabilities)

Interest rate swaps were entered
into against certain of the fixed rate debt due to mature after more than one year, affecting the effective interest rate on these balances (see Note 20).

The
following tables compare contractual cash flows for debt excluding finance lease liabilities at December 31, with the carrying amount in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contractual amounts reflect the effects of changes in currency exchange
rates; differences from carrying amounts reflect the effects of discounting, premiums and, where hedge accounting is applied, fair value adjustments. Interest is estimated assuming interest rates applicable to variable rate debt remain constant and
there is no change in aggregate principal amounts of debt other than repayment at scheduled maturity as reflected in the table.

(tolling agreements). The present value of the future minimum lease payments under these contracts is $1,952 million at December 31, 2013 (2012: $2,129 million). The leases mature between 2021 and 2024 and the average interest rate
is 8%.

Future minimum lease payments at December 31, 2013, are stated before deduction of expected rental income from non-cancellable sub-leases of $586 million
(2012: $589 million) in respect of finance leases and $236 million (2012: $251 million) in respect of operating leases.

The weighted average of statutory tax rates was 62.6% in 2013 (2012, restated: 57.2%; 2011, restated: 54.5%). The increase from 2012 to
2013 was principally due to a change in the geographical mix of income in the Upstream segment, with a higher proportion of Upstream income in 2013 arising in jurisdictions subject to relatively higher tax rates. The increase from 2011 to 2012 was
due to similar portfolio changes.

[Note 17 continued]



The taxation charge includes not only those of general application but also taxes at higher rates levied on income from certain Upstream activities and various other
taxes to which these activities are subjected.

The adjustments in respect of prior periods relate to events in the current period and reflect the effects of changes
in rules, facts or other factors compared with those used in establishing the current tax position or deferred tax balance in prior periods.

Other movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities principally relate to acquisitions, divestments and amounts recognised in other
comprehensive income and directly in equity (see Note 23).

Where the realisation of deferred tax assets is dependent on future profits, losses carried forward are
recognised only to the extent that business forecasts predict that such profits will be available. At December 31, 2013, recognised losses carried forward amounted to $38,448 million (2012: $27,006 million).

Unrecognised tax losses, credits and other deductions where recovery is not expected, amounted to $17,036 million at
December 31, 2013 (2012: $17,623 million), including amounts of $16,576 million (2012: $17,455 million) that are subject to time limits for utilisation of five years or later or are not time-limited.

Earnings retained by subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates amounted to $184,625 million at December 31, 2013 (2012: $169,595 million). Provision has been made
for withholding and other taxes that would become payable on the distribution of these earnings only to the extent that either Shell does not control the relevant entity or it is expected that these earnings will be remitted in the foreseeable
future.

18 RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Retirement
benefits are provided through a number of funded and unfunded defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans, the most significant of which are located in the Netherlands, UK and USA. Benefits comprise principally pensions; retirement
healthcare and life insurance are also provided in some countries.

Retirement benefit expense is presented principally within production and manufacturing expenses and selling, distribution and
administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Interest income on plan assets is calculated using the rate applied to the related defined benefit
obligations for each plan.

Other movements in the defined benefit obligations and defined benefit plan assets during 2013 principally reflected the impact of the
first-time inclusion of a number of individually immaterial plans, which were excluded prior to the adoption of revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits.

Long-term
investment strategies of plans are generally determined by the relevant pension plan trustees using a structured asset liability modelling approach to define the asset mix that best meets the objectives of optimising returns within agreed risk
levels while maintaining adequate funding levels.

Employer contributions to defined benefit pension plans are set by local trustees based on actuarial valuations in
accordance with local regulations and are estimated to be $2 billion in 2014.

The principal assumptions applied in determining the present value of defined benefit obligations and their bases were as
follows:



|n |  | rates of increase in pensionable remuneration, pensions in payment and healthcare costs: historical experience and managements long-term expectation;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|n |  | discount rates: prevailing long-term AA corporate bond yields, chosen to match the currency and duration of the relevant obligation; and
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|n |  | mortality rates: the latest available standard mortality rates for the individual countries concerned.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The weighted
averages for those assumptions and related sensitivity information are presented below. Sensitivity information indicates by how much the defined benefit obligations would increase or decrease if a given assumption were to increase or decrease with
no change in other assumptions.

The amount and timing of settlement in respect of these provisions are uncertain and dependent on various factors that are not always
within managements control. Additional provisions are stated net of reversals of provisions recognised in previous periods.

Of the decommissioning and
restoration provision at December 31, 2013, an estimated $5,122 million is expected to be utilised within one to five years, $4,566 million within six to ten years, and the remainder in later periods.

[Note 19 continued]



Reviews of estimated decommissioning and restoration costs are carried out annually, which in 2013 resulted in an increase of $1,426 million (2012: $1,586 million) in
both the provision, reported within remeasurements and other movements, and the corresponding property, plant and equipment assets reported within sales, retirements and other movements in Note 9. Offsetting the increase in 2012 was a reduction
resulting from disposals of assets, principally in Nigeria, the USA and Canada, of $242 million.

Provisions for environmental costs relate to a number of events in
different locations, none of which is individually significant.

Provisions for litigation costs at December 31, 2013, relate to a number of cases, none of
which is individually significant. Further information is presented in Note 25.

Other provisions principally comprise amounts recognised in respect of employee in-
and end-of-service benefits and redundancy costs.

20 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS

Financial instruments and other derivative contracts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet comprise investments in securities (see Note 11), cash and cash equivalents
(see Note 14), debt (see Note 15) and certain amounts (including derivatives) reported within trade and other receivables (see Note 12) and trade and other payables (see Note 16).

A  Risks

In the normal course of business, financial instruments of various
kinds are used for the purposes of managing exposure to interest rate, currency and commodity price movements.

Treasury standards are applicable to all
subsidiaries, and each subsidiary is required to adopt a treasury policy consistent with these standards. These policies cover: financing structure; interest rate and foreign exchange risk management; insurance; counterparty risk management; and use
of derivative instruments. Wherever possible, treasury operations are carried out through specialist regional organisations without removing from each subsidiary the responsibility to formulate and implement appropriate treasury policies.

Apart from forward foreign exchange contracts to meet known commitments, the use of derivative financial instruments by most subsidiaries is not permitted by their
treasury policy.

Other than in exceptional cases, the use of external derivative instruments is confined to specialist trading and central treasury organisations
that have appropriate skills, experience, supervision, control and reporting systems.

Shells operations expose it to market, credit and liquidity risk, as
described below.

MARKET RISK

Market risk is the possibility that changes
in interest rates, currency exchange rates or the prices of crude oil, natural gas, LNG, refined products, chemical feedstocks, power and environmental products will adversely affect the value of assets, liabilities or expected future cash flows.

Interest rate risk

Most debt is raised from central borrowing programmes.
Shells policy continues to be to have debt principally denominated in dollars and to maintain a largely floating interest rate exposure profile; however, the majority of the debt issued over the past four years has been issued at fixed rates,
taking advantage of historically low interest rates available in the US debt markets. As a result the majority of the debt portfolio at December 31, 2013, is at fixed rates and Shells exposure to the dollar LIBOR interest rate has reduced,
although it remains the most significant interest rate exposure.

The financing of most subsidiaries is structured on a floating-rate basis and, except in special
cases, further interest rate risk management is discouraged.

On the basis of the floating rate net debt position at December 31, 2013 (both issued and hedged),
and assuming other factors (principally foreign exchange rates and commodity prices) remained constant and that no further interest rate management action were taken, an increase in interest rates of 1% would decrease pre-tax income by $87 million
(2012: $27 million).

The carrying amounts and maturities of debt and borrowing facilities are presented in Note 15. Interest expense is presented in Note 7.

Foreign exchange risk

Many of the markets in which Shell operates are priced,
directly or indirectly, in dollars. As a result, the functional currency of most Upstream entities and those with significant cross-border business is the dollar. For Downstream entities, the local currency is typically the functional currency.
Consequently, Shell is exposed to varying levels of foreign exchange risk when it enters into transactions that are not denominated in the entities functional currencies, when foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at
the balance sheet date and as a result of holding net investments in operations that are not dollar-functional. The main currencies to which Shell is exposed are sterling, the Canadian dollar, euro and Australian dollar. Each entity has treasury
policies in place that are designed to measure and manage its foreign exchange exposures by reference to its functional currency.

Exchange rate gains and losses arise in the normal course of business from the recognition of receivables and payables and
other monetary items in currencies other than individual entities functional currency. Currency exchange risk may also arise in connection with capital expenditure. For major projects, an assessment is made at the final investment decision
stage whether to hedge any resulting exposure.

Hedging of net investments in foreign operations or of income that arises in foreign operations that are non-dollar
functional is not undertaken.

Assuming other factors (principally interest rates and commodity prices) remained constant and that no further foreign exchange risk
management action were taken, a 10% appreciation against the dollar at December 31 of the main currencies to which Shell is exposed would have the following pre-tax effects:

The above sensitivity information is calculated by reference to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at December 31 only. The
pre-tax effect on income arises in connection with monetary balances denominated in currencies other than the relevant entitys functional currency; the pre-tax effect on net assets arises principally from the translation of assets and
liabilities of entities that are not dollar-functional.

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions included in income are
presented in Note 6.

Price risk

Certain subsidiaries have a mandate to
trade crude oil, natural gas, LNG, refined products, chemical feedstocks, power and environmental products, and to use commodity derivatives (forwards, futures, swaps and options) as a means of managing price and timing risks arising from this
trading. In effecting these transactions, the entities concerned operate within procedures and policies designed to ensure that risks, including those relating to the default of counterparties, are managed within authorised limits.

Risk management systems are used for recording and valuing instruments. There is regular review of mandated trading limits by senior management, daily monitoring of
market risk exposure using value-at-risk (VAR) techniques, daily monitoring of trading positions against limits and marking-to-fair value of trading exposures with a department independent of traders reviewing the market values applied. Although
trading losses can and do occur, the nature of the trading portfolio and its management are considered adequate mitigants against the risk of significant losses.

VAR techniques based on variance/covariance or Monte Carlo simulation models are used to make a statistical assessment of the market risk arising from possible future
changes in market values over a 24-hour period and within a 95% confidence level. The calculation of the range of potential changes in fair value takes into account positions, the history of price movements and the correlation of these price
movements. Each of the models is regularly back-tested against actual fair value movements to ensure model integrity is maintained. VAR ranges and year-end positions in respect of commodities traded in active markets were as follows:

CREDIT RISK

Policies are in place to ensure
that wholesale sales of products are made to customers with appropriate creditworthiness. These policies include detailed credit analysis and monitoring of trading partners and restricting large-volume trading activities to the highest-rated
counterparties. Credit information is regularly shared between business and finance functions, with dedicated teams in place to quickly identify and respond to cases of credit deterioration. Mitigation measures are defined and implemented for
high-risk business partners and customers, and include shortened payment terms, collateral or other security posting and vigorous collections. In addition, policies limit the amount of credit exposure to any individual financial institution. There
are no material concentrations of credit risk, with individual customers or geographically, and there has been no significant level of counterparty default in recent years.

Surplus cash is invested in a range of short-dated, secure and liquid instruments including short-term deposits, reverse repos, money market funds and similar
instruments. The portfolio of these investments is diversified to avoid concentrating risk in any one instrument, country or counterparty. Management monitors the investments regularly and adjusts the investment portfolio in light of new market
information where necessary to ensure credit risk is effectively diversified.

[Note 20 continued]



In commodity trading, counterparty credit risk is managed within a framework of credit limits with utilisation being regularly reviewed. Credit checks are performed by a
department independent of traders, and are undertaken before contractual commitment. Where appropriate, netting arrangements, credit insurance, prepayments and collateral are used to manage specific risks.

Shell routinely enters into offsetting, master netting and similar arrangements with trading and other counterparties to manage credit risk. Where unconditional
offsetting of outstanding balances is allowed under such arrangements and net settlement is regularly applied, the net asset or liability is recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, otherwise assets and liabilities are presented gross. The
amounts presented net and gross within trade and other receivables and trade and other payables in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31 were as follows:

Amounts not offset principally relate to contracts where the intention to settle on a net basis was not clearly established at the
balance sheet date.

The carrying amount of financial assets pledged as collateral for liabilities or contingent liabilities at December 31, 2013, and presented
within trade and other receivables, was $717 million (2012: $541 million). The carrying amount of collateral held at December 31, 2013, and presented within trade and other payables, was $173 million (2012: $353 million).

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the risk that suitable sources of funding for
Shells business activities may not be available. Management believes that it has access to sufficient debt funding sources (capital markets), and to undrawn committed borrowing facilities to meet currently foreseeable requirements. Information
about borrowing facilities is presented in Note 15.

B  Derivative contracts

Derivative contracts are used principally as hedging instruments; however, because hedge accounting is not always applied, movements in the carrying amounts of derivative
contracts that are recognised in income are not always matched in the same period by the recognition of the income effects of the related hedged items.

CARRYING
AMOUNTS, MATURITIES AND HEDGING

The carrying amounts of derivative contracts at December 31 (see Notes 12 and 16), designated and not designated as hedging
instruments for hedge accounting purposes, were as follows:

Net losses before tax on derivative contracts, excluding realised commodity contracts and those accounted for as hedges, were $324 million
in 2013 (2012: $904 million; 2011: $1,957 million).

Certain contracts entered into to hedge price risk relating to forecast commodity transactions and foreign
exchange risk relating to forecast capital expenditure were designated in cash flow hedging relationships. The net liability carrying amount of commodity derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments of $66 million at
December 31, 2013 (2012: $162 million), is presented after the offset of related margin balances maintained with exchanges. Net losses of $36 million (2012: $280 million) arising on these contracts, the majority of which mature within three
years, were recognised in other comprehensive income in 2013; a further $6 million net losses (2012: $5 million) were recognised in income.

Certain interest
rate and currency swaps were designated in fair value hedges, principally in respect of debt. Information about the impact of these hedges is presented in Notes 7 and 15.

In the course of trading operations, certain contracts are entered into for delivery of commodities that are accounted for as derivatives. The resulting price exposures
are managed by entering into related derivative contracts. These contracts are managed on a fair value basis, and the maximum exposure to liquidity risk is the undiscounted fair value of derivative liabilities.

For a minority of commodity derivatives, carrying amounts cannot be derived from quoted market prices or other observable inputs, in which case fair value is estimated
using valuation techniques such as Black-Scholes, option spread models and extrapolation using quoted spreads with assumptions developed internally based on observable market activity.

Other contracts include certain contracts that are held to sell or purchase commodities, and other contracts containing embedded derivatives, which are required to be
recognised at fair value because of pricing or delivery conditions, even though they are only entered into to meet operational requirements. These contracts are expected to mature between 2014 and 2025, with certain contracts having early
termination rights (for either party). Valuations are derived from quoted market prices for the next six years; thereafter, from forward gas price formulae used in similar contracts. Future gas price assumptions are the most significant input to
this model, such that a decrease at December 31, 2013, of 10% in the projected gas price would, assuming other inputs remained unchanged, increase pre-tax income by $181 million (2012: $203 million).

The contractual maturities of derivative liabilities at December 31 compare with their carrying amounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as follows:

The principal share-based employee compensation plan is the Performance Share Plan (the Plan). Other schemes offer employees opportunities
to acquire shares and American Depository Shares (ADSs) of the Company or receive cash benefits measured by reference to the Companys share price.

Awards of
shares and ADSs of the Company under the Plan are granted upon certain conditions to eligible employees who are not members of the Executive Committee. The actual amount of shares that may vest range from 0% to 200% of the awards, depending on the
outcomes of prescribed performance conditions over a three-year period beginning on January 1 of the award year. Shares and ADSs vest for nil consideration.

A
Monte Carlo option pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of the share-based compensation expense arising from the Plan. The model projects and averages the results for a range of potential outcomes for the vesting conditions, the
principal assumptions for which are the share price volatility and dividend yields for Shell and four of its main competitors over the last three years and the last 10 years.

The merger reserve and share premium reserve were established as a consequence of Royal Dutch Shell plc becoming the single parent
company of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and The Shell Transport and Trading Company, p.l.c., now The Shell Transport and Trading Company Limited, in 2005.

The capital redemption reserve was established in connection with repurchases of shares of Royal Dutch Shell plc.

The share plan reserve is maintained in respect of equity-settled share-based compensation plans (see Note 22); related current and deferred taxation reflected directly
within equity decreased by $5 million in 2013 (2012: $7 million decrease; 2011: $26 million increase).

Accumulated other comprehensive income comprises the

25 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES

Groundwater contamination

Shell Oil Company (including subsidiaries and affiliates,
referred to collectively as SOC), along with numerous other defendants, has been sued by public and quasi-public water purveyors as well as governmental entities. The plaintiffs allege responsibility for groundwater contamination caused by releases
of gasoline containing oxygenate additives. Most of these suits assert various theories of liability, including product liability, and seek to recover actual damages, including clean-up costs. Some assert claims for punitive damages. There are
approximately 10 of these cases pending. On the basis of court rulings in SOCs favour in certain cases claiming damages from threats of contamination, the claims asserted in remaining matters and Shells track record with regard to
amounts paid to resolve varying claims, management does not believe that the outcome of these matters will have a material impact on Shell. While these matters are not expected to have a material effect on Shell, no assurance can be provided.

Nigerian claims

Shell subsidiaries and associates operating in Nigeria are parties
to various environmental and contractual disputes. These disputes are at different stages in litigation, including at the appellate stage, where judgments have been rendered against Shell. If taken at face value, the aggregate amount of these
judgments could be seen as material. The management of Shell, however, believes that the outcomes of these matters will ultimately be resolved in a manner favourable to Shell. While these matters are not expected to have a material effect on Shell,
no assurance can be provided.

Other

In the ordinary course of business, Shell
subsidiaries are subject to a number of other loss contingencies arising from litigation and claims brought by governmental and private parties. The operations and earnings of Shell subsidiaries continue, from time to time, to be affected to varying
degrees by political, legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments, including those relating to the protection of the environment and indigenous groups in the countries in which they operate. The industries in which Shell subsidiaries are engaged
are also subject to physical risks of various types. The nature and frequency of these developments and events, as well as their effect on future operations and earnings, are unpredictable.

28 CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY FOR RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Revised IAS 19 Employee Benefitswas adopted on January 1, 2013, with retrospective effect. Comparative information is therefore restated. The revised
accounting policy is presented in Note 2.

The revised accounting standard requires immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets
arising in connection with defined benefit plans. Remeasurements of the resulting net defined benefit liability or asset excluding the amount recognised in income are recognised in other comprehensive income. Previously, Shell applied the corridor
method of accounting under which amounts falling inside the corridor remained unrecognised while amounts falling outside it were recognised (amortised) in income over a number of years. Under the revised standard, interest income is recognised on
plan assets using the discount rate as applied to plan obligations whereas previously the expected return on plan assets was recognised in income. For the periods presented, the elimination of the amortisation is approximately offset by lower
interest income recognised.

This change in accounting policy affects principally the carrying amounts in respect of retirement benefits and related deferred tax and
is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and January 1, 2011, as follows:

On January 1, 2014, Shell acquired from Repsol S.A. all the voting rights in Repsol LNG Port Spain B.V., Repsol Comercializadora de Gas, S.A., Repsol LNG T&T Ltd, LNG
Shipping Operation Services Netherlands B.V., Netherlands ALNG Holding Company B.V. and Repsol GNL Peru S.A.C., the activities of which comprise LNG operations located in Trinidad and Tobago and Peru and related shipping and marketing. The
acquisition adds directly-managed LNG volumes to Shells existing portfolio. Cash consideration was $4,085 million, of which $3,385 million was transferred on December 31, 2013 (see Note 12). Due to the timing of the acquisition, the
determination of the fair values of the net assets acquired is provisional and will be subject to further review during the 12 months from the acquisition date. The provisional fair values of the net assets acquired and the fair value of the
consideration paid were as follows:

|SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION  OIL AND GAS (UNAUDITED)

The information set out on pages 140-158 is referred to as unaudited as a means of clarifying that it is not covered by the
audit opinion of the independent registered public accounting firm that has audited and reported on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

PROVED OIL
AND GAS RESERVES

Proved reserves estimates are calculated pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rules and the Financial Accounting
Standard Boards Topic 932. The definitions used are in accordance with the SEC Rule 4-10 (a) of Regulation S-X.

We include proved reserves associated with
future production that will be consumed in operations.

Proved reserves shown are net of any quantities of crude oil or natural gas that are expected to be taken by
others as royalties in kind but do exclude quantities related to royalties expected to be paid in cash (except in North America and in other situations in which the royalty quantities are owned by government or other parties) or those related to
fixed margin contracts. Proved reserves include certain quantities of crude oil or natural gas that will be produced under arrangements that involve Shell subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in risks and rewards but do not transfer title of
the product to those entities.

Proved reserves cannot be measured exactly since estimation of reserves involves subjective judgement (see Risk factors).
These estimates remain subject to revision and are unaudited supplementary information.

The impact of the reclassification of certain entities, consistent with the
change in their accounting treatment as a result of the adoption of IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), is provided separately. This resulted in a decrease in the Shell share of joint
ventures and associates proved reserves during 2013 and a corresponding increase in Shell subsidiaries proved reserves. These effects are referred to as IFRS 11 reclassification on pages 142, 146 and 151.

PROVED RESERVES ASSURANCE PROCESS

A central group of reserves experts, who on
average have around 25 years experience in the oil and gas industry, undertake the primary assurance of the proved reserves bookings. This group of experts is part of the Resources Assurance and Reporting (RAR) organisation within Shell.
A Vice President with 32 years experience in the oil and gas industry currently heads the RAR organisation. He is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and holds a diploma of Ingénieur Civil des Ponts et Chaussées de
France. The RAR organisation reports directly to an Executive Vice President of Finance, who is a member of the Upstream Reserves Committee (URC). The URC is a multidisciplinary committee consisting of senior representatives from the Finance, Legal,
Projects & Technology and Upstream organisations. The URC reviews and endorses all major (larger than 20 million barrels of oil equivalent) proved reserves bookings and endorses the total aggregated proved reserves. Final approval of all proved
reserves bookings remains with Shells Executive Committee. The Internal Audit function also provides secondary assurance through audits of the control framework.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING PROVED RESERVES

Proved reserves can be either
developed or undeveloped. Subsidiaries proved reserves at December 31, 2013, were divided into 63% developed and 37% undeveloped on a barrel of oil equivalent basis. For the Shell share of joint ventures and associates, the proved reserves at
December 31, 2013, were divided into 82% developed and 18% undeveloped.

Proved reserves are recognised under various forms of contractual agreements. Shells
proved reserves volumes at December 31, 2013, present in agreements such as PSCs or other forms of economic entitlement contracts, where the Shell share of reserves can vary with commodity prices, were approximately 1,224 million barrels of crude
oil and natural gas liquids, and 12,194 thousand million scf of natural gas.

NATURAL GAS

Shell
subsidiaries estimated net proved reserves of natural gas at the end of the year; their share of the net proved reserves of joint ventures and associates at the end of the year; and the changes in such reserves during the year are set out
below. The volumes in the table below have not been adjusted to standard heat content. Apart from integrated projects, volumes of gas are reported on an as-sold basis. The price used to calculate future revenue and cash flows from proved
gas reserves is the contract price or the 12-month average on as-sold volumes. Volumes associated with integrated projects are those measured at a designated transfer point between the Upstream and Downstream portions of the integrated
project. Natural gas volumes are converted to oil equivalent using a factor of 5,800 scf per barrel.

Significant changes in natural gas proved developed and
undeveloped reserves are discussed below.

SHELL
SUBSIDIARIES

Europe

The net increase in revisions and reclassifications of
229 thousand million scf resulted from field performance studies and development activities. The reservoir performance analyses and updates in multiple fields supported continuing better performance than historically predicted in Italy, Norway and
the UK.

Asia

The net increase of 695 thousand million scf in revisions and
reclassifications resulted from field performance studies and development activities. The reservoir performance analyses and updates in multiple fields supported continuing better performance than historically predicted in Malaysia, Philippines and
Russia.

Oceania

The net increase of 778 thousand million scf in revisions and
reclassifications resulted from field performance studies and development activities. The reservoir performance analyses and updates in multiple fields supported continuing better performance than historically predicted in Australia and New Zealand.

USA

The increase of 250 thousand million scf in extensions and discoveries
related from extensions in existing deep-water and shale-gas and light-tight-oil operations.

Canada

The net increase of 236 thousand million scf in revisions and reclassifications resulted from field performance studies and development activities. The reservoir
performance analyses and updates in multiple fields supported continuing better performance than historically predicted. The increase of 344 thousand million scf in extensions and discoveries resulted predominantly from extensions in tight-gas,
basin-centred gas and light-tight-oil operations.

SHELL SHARE OF JOINT VENTURES AND ASSOCIATES

Asia

The net increase of 350 thousand million scf in revisions and reclassifications
resulted from field performance studies and development activities. The reservoir performance analyses and updates in multiple fields supported continuing better production performance in Brunei and Qatar.

SHELL SUBSIDIARIES

Oceania

The decrease of 303 thousand million scf in sales in place resulted from the
sale of part of our interest in the Prelude LNG integrated project in Australia.

USA

The net decrease of 1,076 thousand million scf in revisions and reclassifications related to reductions from lower commodity prices, partly offset by increases from field
performance studies and development activities. The increase of 393 thousand million scf in extensions and discoveries resulted from new bookings and extensions of proved areas by drilling activities.

Canada

The net decrease of 683 thousand million scf in revisions and
reclassifications resulted from lower commodity prices.

SHELL SHARE OF JOINT VENTURES AND ASSOCIATES

Asia

The net increase of 284 thousand million scf in revisions and reclassifications
resulted from field performance studies and development activities. The reservoir performance analyses and updates in multiple fields supported continuing better production performance in Brunei and Russia.

STANDARDISED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE CASH FLOWS

The SECs Form 20-F requires the disclosure of a standardised measure of discounted future cash flows, relating to proved reserves quantities and based on a
12-month unweighted arithmetic average sales price, calculated on a first-day-of-the-month basis, with cost factors based on those at the end of each year, currently enacted tax rates and a 10% annual discount factor. In our view, the information so
calculated does not provide a reliable measure of future cash flows from proved reserves, nor does it permit a realistic comparison to be made of one entity with another because the assumptions used cannot reflect the varying circumstances within
each entity. In addition, a substantial but unknown proportion of future real cash flows from oil and gas production activities is expected to derive from reserves which have already been discovered, but which cannot yet be regarded as proved.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC REPORT ON THE PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Our opinion In our opinion the Parent Company Financial Statements of Royal
Dutch Shell plc (the Company):  n

give a true and fair view of the state of the Companys affairs as at December 31, 2013, and of its income and cash flows for the year then ended; n

have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union; and n

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. This opinion is to be read in the
context of what we say in the remainder of this report. Separate opinion in relation to IFRSs as issued by the IASB As explained in Note 1 to the Parent Company Financial Statements, the Company, in addition to complying with its legal obligation to apply IFRSs as adopted by the
European Union, has also applied IFRSs as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In our opinion the Parent Company Financial Statements
comply with IFRSs as issued by the IASB. What we have audited The Parent
Company Financial Statements, which are prepared by the Company, comprise:  n

the Parent Company Statement of Income and Parent Company Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2013; n

the Parent Company Balance Sheet as at December 31, 2013; n

the Parent Company Statement of Changes in Equity and Parent Company Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2013; and n

the related Notes to the Parent Company Financial Statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation comprises applicable law and IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. In applying the financial reporting framework, the Directors have made a number of judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. In making such
estimates, they have made assumptions and considered future events. Certain disclosures required by the financial reporting framework have been presented elsewhere
in the Royal Dutch Shell plc Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the Annual Report), rather than in the Parent Company Financial Statements. These are cross-referenced from the Parent Company Financial Statements and
are identified as audited.


What an audit of financial statements involves We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) (ISAs (UK and Ireland)). An audit involves obtaining evidence about the
amounts and disclosures in the Parent Company Financial Statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the Parent Company Financial Statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an
assessment of:  n

whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Companys circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; n

the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Directors; and n

the overall presentation of the Parent Company Financial Statements. In addition, we read all the financial and
non-financial information in the Annual Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited Parent Company Financial Statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent
with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006 In our opinion:  n

the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors Report for the financial year for which the Parent Company Financial Statements are prepared is consistent with the Parent Company Financial
Statements; and n

the part of the Directors Remuneration Report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. OTHER MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION Adequacy of
accounting records and information and explanations received Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:  n

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or n

adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or n

the Parent Company Financial Statements and the part of the Directors Remuneration Report to be audited are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. Directors
remuneration Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion, certain disclosures of Directors remuneration specified by law
have not been made. We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. Other information in the Annual Report Under ISAs (UK and Ireland), we are required to report to you if, in our opinion, information in the Annual Report is:  n

materially inconsistent with the information in the audited Parent Company Financial Statements; or

apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, our knowledge of the Company acquired in the course of performing our audit; or n

|NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Financial Statements of Royal Dutch Shell plc (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 and with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. As applied to the Company, there are no material differences with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB); therefore, the Financial Statements have
been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

As described in the accounting policies in Note 2, the Financial Statements have been prepared under
the historical cost convention except for certain items measured at fair value. Those accounting policies have been applied consistently in all periods presented. Except where discussed in Note 2, there were no material changes during 2013.

The Financial Statements were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on March 12, 2014.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement
in the process of applying the Companys accounting policies. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The financial results of the Company are included
in the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 101-139. The financial results of the Company incorporate the results of the Dividend Access Trust (the Trust), the financial statements for which are presented on pages 175-178.

The Companys principal activity is being the parent company for Shell, as described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.



2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Companys accounting policies follow those of Shell as set out in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Key accounting estimates and judgements
affecting the assessment and measurement of impairment follow those set out in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The following are the principal accounting policies that specifically relate to the Company:

Presentation currency

The Companys presentation and functional currency is US
dollars (dollars).

Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost,
net of any impairment.

The original cost of the Companys investment in Royal Dutch Petroleum Company (Royal Dutch) was based on the fair value of the shares
transferred to the Company by the former shareholders of Royal Dutch in exchange for A shares in the Company during the public exchange offer in 2005. The original cost of the Companys investment in The Shell Transport and Trading
Company, p.l.c., now The Shell Transport and Trading Company Limited (Shell Transport), was the fair value of the shares held by the former shareholders of The Shell Transport and Trading Company, p.l.c. transferred in consideration for
the issuance of B shares as part of the Scheme of Arrangement in 2005. The Companys investments in Royal Dutch and Shell Transport now represent an investment in Shell Petroleum N.V. (Shell Petroleum); this change had no impact on the cost of
investments in subsidiaries.

Dividend income

Interim dividends are recognised
on a paid basis unless the dividend has been confirmed by a general meeting of Shell Transport or of Shell Petroleum, in which case income is recognised on the date on which receipt is deemed virtually certain.

Share-based compensation plans

The fair value of share-based compensation for
equity-settled plans granted to subsidiary employees under the Companys schemes is recognised as an investment in subsidiaries from the date of grant over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. In the year of vesting of a
plan, the costs for the actual deliveries are recharged to the relevant employing subsidiaries. This is recognised as a repayment of the investment originally booked. If the actual vesting costs are higher than the cumulatively recognised
share-based compensation charge, the difference is recognised in income.

The cost of deliveries under share-based compensation schemes is recharged to the relevant
employing entities in the year of vesting. Following a review of the presentation of these recharges in the Statement of Cash Flows, net proceeds received by the Company in relation to share-based compensation schemes is now presented within Cash
flow from investing activities (previously presented within Cash flow from operating activities, in changes in working capital). The revised presentation better reflects the nature of the charge as a transaction of the Company in its capacity as the
parent company for Shell. Comparative information is reclassified.

Information on the principal plans, including vesting conditions and shares granted, vested and
expired or forfeited during the year, is set out in Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Taxation

The Company is tax-resident in the Netherlands. For the assessment of corporate income tax in the Netherlands, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries form a fiscal
unit, in respect of which the Company recognises any current tax payable or receivable for the fiscal unit as a whole.

The Companys tax charge or credit
recognised in income is calculated at the statutory tax rate prevailing in the Netherlands.

Accruals and other liabilities principally comprise commitments for share repurchases undertaken on the Companys behalf under
irrevocable, non-discretionary arrangements.



10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial assets
and liabilities in the Companys Balance Sheet comprise cash and cash equivalents (see Note 8), accounts receivable (see Note 7) and certain amounts reported within accounts payable and accrued liabilities (see Note 9).

Foreign exchange derivatives are used by the Company to manage foreign exchange risk. Foreign exchange risk arises when certain transactions are denominated in a
currency that is not the Companys functional currency. There were no derivative financial instruments held at December 31, 2013 or 2012.

The fair value of
financial assets and liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012, all of which fall due within 12 months, approximates their carrying amount.

Information on financial
risk management is presented in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The total nominal value of sterling deferred shares is less than $1 million.

B shares repurchased in 2013 and 2012 under the Companys share buyback programme were all cancelled.

At the Companys Annual General Meeting on May 21, 2013, the Board was authorised to allot ordinary shares in the Company, and to grant rights to subscribe for or
to convert any security into ordinary shares in the Company up to an aggregate nominal amount of 148 million (representing 2,114 million ordinary shares of 0.07 each), and to list such shares or rights on any stock exchange. This authority expires at the earlier of the close of business on August 21, 2014, and the end of the Annual
General Meeting to be held in 2014, unless previously renewed, revoked or varied by the Company in a general meeting.

B shares rank pari passu in all respects with
A shares except for the dividend access mechanism described below. The Company and Shell Transport can procure the termination of the dividend access mechanism at any time. Upon such termination, B shares will form one class with A shares
ranking pari passu in all respects and A and B shares will be known as ordinary shares without further distinction.

The sterling deferred shares are redeemable only
at the discretion of the Company for £1 each and carry no voting rights. There are no further rights to participate in profits or assets, including the right to receive dividends. Upon winding up or liquidation, the shares carry a right to
repayment of paid-up nominal value, ranking ahead of A and B shares.

For information on the number of shares in the Company held by Shell employee share ownership
trusts to meet delivery commitments under employee share plans, refer to Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Dividend access mechanism for B shares

GENERAL

Dividends paid on A shares have a Dutch source for tax purposes
and are subject to Dutch withholding tax.

It is the expectation and the intention, although there can be no certainty, that holders of B shares will receive
dividends via the dividend access mechanism. Any dividends paid on the dividend access share will have a UK source for Dutch and UK tax purposes; there will be no UK or Dutch withholding tax on such dividends and certain holders (not including US
holders) of B shares or B American Depositary Shares (ADSs) will be entitled to a UK tax credit in respect of their proportional share of such dividends.

DESCRIPTION OF DIVIDEND ACCESS MECHANISM

A dividend access share has been
issued by Shell Transport to Computershare Trustees (Jersey) Limited as dividend access trustee (the Trustee). Pursuant to a declaration of trust, the Trustee will hold any dividends paid in respect of the dividend access share on trust for the
holders of B shares from time to time and will arrange for prompt disbursement of such dividends to holders of B shares. Interest and other income earned on unclaimed dividends will be for the account of Shell Transport and any dividends that
are unclaimed after 12 years will revert to Shell Transport. Holders of B shares will not have any interest in the dividend access share and will not have any rights against Shell Transport as issuer of the dividend access share. The only assets
held on trust for the benefit of the holders of B shares will be dividends paid to the Trustee in respect of the dividend access share.

[Note 11 continued]



The declaration and payment of dividends on the dividend access share will require Board action by Shell Transport and will be subject to any applicable legal or articles
limitations in effect from time to time. In no event will the aggregate amount of the dividend paid by Shell Transport under the dividend access mechanism for a particular period exceed the aggregate amount of the dividend declared by the
Companys Board on B shares in respect of the same period.

OPERATION OF THE DIVIDEND ACCESS MECHANISM

If, in connection with the declaration of a dividend by the Company on B shares, the Board of Shell Transport elects to declare and pay a dividend on the dividend access
share to the Trustee, the holders of B shares will be beneficially entitled to receive their share of that dividend pursuant to the declaration of trust (and arrangements will be made to ensure that the dividend is paid in the same currency in which
they would have received a dividend from the Company).

If any amount is paid by Shell Transport by way of a dividend on the dividend access share and paid by the
Trustee to any holder of B shares, the dividend which the Company would otherwise pay on B shares will be reduced by an amount equal to the amount paid to such holders of B shares by the Trustee.

The Company will have a full and unconditional obligation, in the event that the Trustee does not pay an amount to holders of B shares on a cash dividend payment date
(even if that amount has been paid to the Trustee), to pay immediately the dividend declared on B shares. The right of holders of B shares to receive distributions from the Trustee will be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any payment
actually made by the Company on account of any dividend on B shares.

The dividend access mechanism may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Companys
Directors or the Directors of Shell Transport, for any reason and without financial recompense. This might, for instance, occur in response to changes in relevant tax legislation.

On January 6, 2006, loan notes were converted into 4,827,974 A shares. The difference between the carrying value of the loan notes
and the nominal value of the new shares issued was credited to the share premium reserve.

The capital redemption reserve was established in connection with
repurchases of shares of the Company.

The share plan reserve represents the fair value of share-based compensation granted to employees of subsidiaries under the
Companys equity-settled schemes.

The other reserve was established as a consequence of the Company becoming the single parent company of Royal Dutch and Shell
Transport and represented the difference between the cost of the investment in those companies and the nominal value of shares issued in exchange for those investments as required by the prevailing legislation at that time, section 131 of the
Companies Act 1985.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO COMPUTERSHARE TRUSTEES (JERSEY) LIMITED AS TRUSTEE OF THE ROYAL DUTCH SHELL DIVIDEND ACCESS TRUST REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Our opinion In our opinion the Financial Statements of the Royal Dutch Shell
Dividend Access Trust (the Trust):  n

give a true and fair view of the state of the Trusts affairs as at December 31, 2013, and of its income and cash flows for the year then ended; and n

have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. This opinion is to be read in the context of what we say in the remainder of this report. Separate opinion in relation to IFRSs as issued by the IASB As explained in
Note 2 to the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements, the Trust, in addition to complying with its legal obligation to apply IFRSs as adopted by the European Union, has also applied IFRSs as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In our opinion the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements comply with IFRSs as issued by the IASB. What we have audited The Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial
Statements, which are prepared by Computershare Trustees (Jersey) Limited as Trustee of the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust, comprise:  n

the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Statement of Income and the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2013; n

the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Balance Sheet as at December 31, 2013; n

the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Statement of Changes in Equity and the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2013; and n

the related Notes to the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation comprises applicable law and IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. In applying the financial reporting framework, the Trustee has made a number of judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. In making such
estimates, the Trustee has made assumptions and considered future events.


Certain disclosures required by the financial reporting framework have been presented elsewhere in the Royal Dutch Shell
plc Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the Annual Report), rather than in the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements. These are cross-referenced from the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust
Financial Statements and are identified as audited. What an audit of financial statements involves We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) (ISAs (UK and Ireland)). An audit involves obtaining evidence about the
amounts and disclosures in the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements are free from material misstatement, whether
caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of:  n

whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Trusts circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; n

the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Trustee; and n

the overall presentation of the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements. In addition, we read all
the financial and non-financial information in the Annual Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially
incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report. OPINION ON OTHER MATTER In our opinion the information given in the Annual Report
for the financial year for which the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements are prepared is consistent with the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements. MATTERS ON WHICH WE HAVE AGREED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION We have agreed to report to
you if, in our opinion:  n

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or n

adequate accounting records have not been kept; or n

the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements are not in agreement with the accounting records. We
have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility. RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE AUDIT Our responsibilities and those of the Trustee The Trustee is responsible for the
preparation of the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is
to audit and express an opinion on the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and ISAs (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Boards Ethical
Standards for Auditors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To Computershare Trustees (Jersey) Limited as Trustee of the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust and the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Royal Dutch Shell plc. In our opinion, the accompanying Statement of Income, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement
of Changes in Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows, and the related Notes to the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access
Trust (the Trust) at December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with International Financial Reporting
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. Also in our opinion, the Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated Framework (2013)issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO). The Trustee and the management of Royal Dutch Shell plc are responsible for these Financial Statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting, included in the Trustees and Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting of the Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust set out on page 70. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these
Financial Statements and on the Trusts internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audits of the Financial Statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and


evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. A companys internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.  PricewaterhouseCoopers CI LLP Jersey, Channel Islands March 12, 2014 Note that the report set out above is included for the purposes of Royal Dutch Shell plcs Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2013 only and does not form part of

|NOTES TO THE ROYAL DUTCH SHELL DIVIDEND ACCESS
TRUST FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 THE TRUST

The Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Access Trust (the Trust) was established on May 19, 2005, by The Shell Transport and Trading Company, p.l.c., now The
Shell Transport and Trading Company Limited (Shell Transport), and Royal Dutch Shell plc (the Company). The Trust is governed by the applicable laws of England and Wales and is resident and domiciled in Jersey. The Trustee of the Trust is
Computershare Trustees (Jersey) Limited, registration number 92182 (the Trustee), Queensway House, Hilgrove Street, St Helier, Jersey, JE1 1ES. The Trust was established as part of a dividend access mechanism.

A dividend access share has been issued by Shell Transport to the Trustee. Following the announcement of a dividend by the Company on B shares, Shell Transport may
declare a dividend on the dividend access share.

The primary purposes of the Trust are to receive, on behalf of the B shareholders of the Company and in accordance
with their respective holdings of B shares in the Company, any amounts paid by way of dividend on the dividend access share and to pay such amounts to B shareholders on the same pro rata basis.

The Trust shall not endure for a period in excess of 80 years from May 19, 2005, being the date on which the Trust Deed was executed.



2 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Financial Statements of the Trust have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. As
applied to the Trust, there are no material differences with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB); therefore, the Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

As described in the accounting policies in Note 3, the Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Those accounting policies have been
applied consistently in all periods presented and there were no material changes during 2013.

The Financial Statements were approved and authorised for issue by the
Trustee on March 12, 2014.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain accounting estimates. It also requires
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Trusts accounting policies. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The financial results of the Trust are included in the Consolidated and Parent Company Financial
Statements on pages 101-139 and pages 162-170 respectively.



3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Trusts accounting policies follow those of Shell as set out in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The following are the principal accounting
policies that specifically relate to the Trust:

Presentation currency

The
Trusts presentation and functional currency is sterling. The Trusts dividend income and dividends paid are principally in sterling.

Dividend income

Interim dividends on the dividend access share are recognised on a paid basis unless the dividend has been confirmed by a general meeting of Shell Transport, in
which case income is recognised on the date on which receipt is deemed virtually certain.

Taxation

The Trust is not subject to taxation.



4 OTHER LIABILITIES

Other liabilities comprise £1,333,658 (2012: £1,202,271) relating to unclaimed dividends, including any dividend cheque payments that have expired or are
returned unpresented.



5 CAPITAL ACCOUNT

The capital account is represented by the dividend access share of 25 pence settled in the Trust by Shell Transport, which also represents an asset in the Trust. This is
classified as equity in the balance sheet.



6 DISTRIBUTIONS MADE

Distributions are made to the B shareholders of the Company in accordance with the Trust Deed. Refer to Note 13 to the Parent Company Financial Statements for information
about dividends per share. Cumulative unclaimed dividends as at December 31, 2013, amounted to £1,333,658 (2012: £1,202,271). Amounts are recorded as distributed once a wire transfer or cheque is issued. All cheques are valid
for one year from the date of issue. Any wire transfers that are not completed are replaced by cheques. To the extent that cheques expire or are returned unpresented, the Trust records a liability for unclaimed dividends and a corresponding amount
of cash.

7 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial risk management is carried out by the Trustee and the Company to ensure that the relevant policies and procedures are in place to minimise risk.

The Trust, in its normal course of business, is not subject to significant market risk, credit risk or liquidity risk. The Trustee does not consider that any foreign
exchange exposures will materially affect the operations of the Trust.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012,
approximates their carrying amount. All financial assets and liabilities fall due within 12 months.



8 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Trust received dividend income of £2,361 million (2012: £2,383 million; 2011: £2,175 million) in respect of the dividend access share. The Trust
made distributions of £2,361 million (2012: £2,383 million; 2011: £2,175 million) to the B shareholders of the Company, a signatory to the Trust Deed.

The Company pays the general and administrative expenses of the Trust, including the auditors remuneration.



9 AUDITORS REMUNERATION

Auditors remuneration for 2013 audit services was £33,750 (2012: £33,750; 2011: £33,750).

|183 |  | SHELL ANNUAL REPORT AND FORM 20-F 2013 |  | SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

METHOD OF HOLDING SHARES OR AN INTEREST IN SHARES There are several ways in which Royal Dutch Shell plc registered shares or an interest in these shares can be held, including:  n

directly as registered shares either in uncertificated form or in certificated form in a shareholders own name; n

indirectly through Euroclear Nederland (in respect of which the Dutch Securities Giro Act (Wet giraal effectenverkeer) is applicable); n

through the Royal Dutch Shell Corporate Nominee; and n

as a direct or indirect holder of either an A or a B ADS with the Depositary. AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES The Depositary is the registered shareholder of the shares underlying the A or B American Depositary Shares (ADSs) and enjoys the rights of a shareholder under the
Articles. Holders of ADSs will not have shareholder rights. The rights of the holder of an A or a B ADS are specified in the respective Depositary agreements with the Depositary and are summarised below. The Depositary will receive all cash dividends and other cash distributions made on the deposited shares underlying the ADSs and, where possible and on a reasonable
basis, will distribute such dividends and distributions to holders of ADSs. Rights to purchase additional shares will also be made available to the Depositary who may make such rights available to holders of ADSs. All other distributions made on the
Companys shares will be distributed by the Depositary in any means that the Depositary thinks is equitable and practical. The Depositary may deduct its fees and expenses and the amount of any taxes owed from any payments to holders and it may
sell a holders deposited shares to pay any taxes owed. The Depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to holders of ADSs. The Depositary will notify holders of ADSs of shareholders meetings of the Company and will arrange to deliver voting materials to such holders of ADSs if
requested by the Company. Upon request by a holder, the Depositary will endeavour to appoint such holder as proxy in respect of such holders deposited shares entitling such holder to attend and vote at shareholders meetings. Holders of
ADSs may also instruct the Depositary to vote their deposited securities and the Depositary will try, as far as practical and lawful, to vote deposited shares in accordance with such instructions. The Company cannot ensure that holders will receive
voting materials or otherwise learn of an upcoming shareholders meeting in time to ensure that holders can instruct the Depositary to vote their shares.


Upon payment of appropriate fees, expenses and taxes, (i) shareholders may deposit their shares with the Depositary
and receive the corresponding class and amount of ADSs and (ii) holders of ADSs may surrender their ADSs to the Depositary and have the corresponding class and amount of shares credited to their account. Further, subject to certain limitations, holders may, at any time, cancel ADSs and withdraw their underlying shares or have the corresponding class and amount of shares
credited to their account. The Depositary may also deliver ADSs prior to deposit of the underlying securities subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, that such pre-released ADSs are fully collateralised and that the underlying
securities are assigned to and held for the account of the Depositary. Fees paid by holders of ADSs The Depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from
intermediaries acting for them. The Depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The Depositary may generally
refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid. (See page 184.) Reimbursements to the Company The Bank of New York Mellon, as Depositary, has agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses it incurs that are related maintenance expenses of the ADS programme. The
Depositary has agreed to reimburse the Company for its continuing annual stock exchange listing fees. The Depositary has also agreed to pay certain legal expenses and the standard out-of-pocket maintenance costs for the ADSs, which consist of the
expenses of postage and envelopes for mailing annual and interim financial reports, printing and distributing dividend cheques, electronic filing of US Federal tax information, mailing required tax forms, stationery, postage, facsimile and telephone
calls. It has also agreed to reimburse the Company annually for certain costs associated with the AGM, investor relationship programmes and special investor relations promotional activities. There are limits on the amount of expenses for which the
Depositary will reimburse the Company, but the amount of reimbursement available to the Company is not necessarily tied to the amount of fees the Depositary collects from investors. From January 1, 2013, to February 18, 2014, the Company
received $6,999,396.28 from the Depositary. SCRIP DIVIDEND PROGRAMME The
Company has a Scrip Dividend Programme which enables shareholders to increase their shareholding by choosing to receive new shares instead of cash dividends, if approved by the Board. Only new A shares are issued under the programme, including to
shareholders who hold B shares. Full details of the programme can be found at www.shell.com/dividend.

EXCHANGE CONTROLS AND OTHER LIMITATIONS AFFECTING SECURITY HOLDERS Other than those individuals and entities that are subject to EU sanctions, for example regarding Iran and Syria, there is no legislative or other legal provision
currently in force in the UK, the Netherlands or arising under the Articles restricting remittances to non-resident holders of the Companys ordinary shares or affecting the import or export of capital for use by the Company. TAXATION General The Company is incorporated in England and Wales and tax-resident in the Netherlands. As a tax resident of the Netherlands, it is generally required by Dutch law to
withhold tax at a rate of 15% on dividends on its ordinary shares and ADSs, subject to the provisions of any applicable tax convention or domestic law. The following sets forth the operation of the provisions on dividends on the Companys
various ordinary shares and ADSs to UK and US holders, as well as certain other tax rules pertinent to holders. Holders should consult their tax adviser for more details. Dividends paid on the dividend access share There is no Dutch withholding tax on
dividends on B shares or B ADSs provided that such dividends are paid on the dividend access share pursuant to the dividend access mechanism (see Dividend access mechanism for B shares on pages 70-71). Dividends paid on the dividend
access share are treated as UK-source for tax purposes and there is no UK withholding tax on them. Also, under UK law, individual shareholders resident in the UK are entitled to a UK tax credit with dividends paid on the dividend access share. The
amount of the UK tax credit is 10/90ths of the cash dividend; it is not repayable when it exceeds the individuals UK tax liability. In 2013, all dividends with respect to B shares and B ADSs were paid on the dividend access share pursuant to
the dividend access mechanism. Dutch withholding tax When Dutch withholding tax
applies on dividends paid to a US holder (that is, dividends on A shares or A ADSs, or on B shares or B ADSs that are not paid on the dividend access share pursuant to the dividend access mechanism), the US holder will be subject to Dutch
withholding tax at the rate of 15%. A US holder who is entitled to the benefits of the 1992 Double Taxation Convention (the Convention) between the USA and the Netherlands as amended by the protocol


signed on March 8, 2004, will be entitled to a reduction in the Dutch withholding tax, either by way of a full or a partial exemption at source or by way of a partial refund or a credit as
follows:  n

if the US holder is an exempt pension trust as described in article 35 of the Convention, or an exempt organisation as described in article 36 thereof, the US holder will be exempt from Dutch withholding tax; or n

if the US holder is a company that holds directly at least 10% of the voting power in the Company, the US holder will be subject to Dutch withholding tax at a rate not exceeding 5%. In general, the entire dividend (including any amount withheld) will be dividend income to the US holder, and the withholding tax will be treated as a foreign income tax
that is eligible for credit against the US holders income tax liability or a deduction subject to certain limitations. A US holder includes, but is not limited to, a citizen or resident of the USA, or a corporation or other entity
organised under the laws of the USA or any of its political subdivisions. When Dutch withholding tax applies on dividends paid to
UK tax-resident holders (that is, dividends on A shares or A ADSs, or on B shares or B ADSs that are not paid on the dividend access share pursuant to the dividend access mechanism), the dividend
will typically be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 15%. Such UK tax-resident holder will be entitled to a credit (not repayable) for withholding tax against their UK tax liability. However, certain corporate shareholders are, subject to
conditions, exempt from UK tax on dividends. Withholding tax suffered cannot be offset against such exempt dividends. Pension plans meeting certain defined criteria can, however, claim a full refund of the dividend tax withheld. Also, UK
tax-resident corporate shareholders holding at least a 5% shareholding and meeting other defined criteria are exempted at source from dividend tax. For shareholders
who are tax-resident in any other country, the availability of a whole or partial exemption or refund of Dutch withholding tax is governed by Dutch tax law and/or the tax convention, if any, between the Netherlands and the country of the
shareholders residence. Scrip Dividend Programme As mentioned on pages 61
and 183, the Company has a Scrip Dividend Programme which enables shareholders to increase their shareholding by choosing to receive new shares instead of cash

dividends, if approved by the Board. Only new A shares are issued under the programme, including to shareholders who hold B shares. The tax consequences of electing to receive new A shares in place of a cash dividend will depend on individual circumstances. Further details regarding the taxation consequences of the Scrip Dividend Programme can be found at www.shell.com/dividend. Dutch capital gains taxation Capital gains on the sale of shares of a Dutch
tax-resident company by a US holder are generally not subject to taxation by the Netherlands unless the US shareholder has a permanent establishment therein and the capital gain is derived from the sale of shares that are part of the business
property of the permanent establishment. Dutch succession duty and gift taxes Shares of a Dutch tax-resident company held by an individual who is not a resident or a deemed resident of the Netherlands will generally not be subject to succession
duty in the Netherlands on the individuals death unless the shares are part of the business property of a permanent establishment situated in the Netherlands. A gift of shares of a Dutch tax-resident company by an individual, who is not a resident or a deemed resident of the Netherlands, is generally not subject to Dutch gift
tax. UK stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax Sales or transfers of the
Companys ordinary shares within a clearance service (such as Euroclear Nederland) or of the Companys ADSs within the ADS depositary receipts system will not give rise to a stamp duty reserve tax (SDRT) liability and should not in
practice require the payment of UK stamp duty. The transfer of the Companys ordinary shares to a clearance service (such as Euroclear Nederland) or to an
issuer of depositary shares (such as ADSs) will generally give rise to a UK stamp duty or SDRT liability at the rate of 1.5% of consideration given or, if none, of the value of the shares. A sale of the Companys ordinary shares that are not
held within a clearance service (for example, settled through the UKs CREST system of paperless transfers) will generally be subject to UK stamp duty or SDRT at the rate of 0.5% of the amount of the consideration, normally paid by the
purchaser. Capital gains tax For the purposes of UK capital gains tax, the

SECTION 13(r) OF THE US SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 DISCLOSURE In accordance with our General Business Principles and Code of Conduct, Shell seeks to comply with all applicable international trade laws
including applicable sanctions and embargoes. The activities listed below have been conducted outside the USA by non-US Shell subsidiaries. For the disclosure
below, amounts have been converted into US dollars at the average or spot exchange rate, as appropriate. We do not believe that any of the transactions or activities listed below violated US sanctions. In 2010, we ceased all of our Upstream commercial activities and suspended new business development in Iran, as a direct consequence of the international sanctions
imposed on the country. In 2013, we closed our small representative office in Iran. A total of $701 was paid to the Iranian Embassy in the Netherlands for
costs associated with closing our legal entities in Iran. In the future, it is likely that additional payments associated with the anticipated closing of all legal entities in Iran will be required. During 2013, local payments made in connection with our small representative office and the closing of all legal entities were transacted through Bank Karafarin, where
we maintain accounts. All payments were made in local currency. In connection with staff employed in Iran in 2013, as well as a small number of Iranian expatriates
working elsewhere, we paid $330,791 in social security and other payroll taxes to the Iranian government. By the end of September 2013, no local staff remained on Shell payroll and the expatriates had either left Shells service or were
employed on revised terms that do not require Shell to pay Iranian social security or other payroll taxes. In 2013, we paid $7,416 for electricity,
telecommunications and water to the following suppliers: Mobile Telecommunication Company of Iran, Tehran Electrical Distribution Company, Tehran Province Water and Wastewater, and Telecommunication Company of Tehran. All such payments ceased with
the payment of final invoices following the closure of the representative office. In addition, we made a payment of $121 to Bank Karafarin for three gift vouchers for local staff. Additionally, some employees received reimbursement totalling
approximately $3,562 for visa costs and exit fees associated with their travels to Iran in 2013. We filed tax returns for the 2012 and 2013 fiscal years through
local accountants and made related payments of corporate and withholding


taxes to the government of Iran amounting to $95,361. The local accountants will file nil tax returns on behalf of the closed entities for the 2014 fiscal year. None of the above activities generated gross revenue or net profit in 2013. However, our cash deposits in Bank Karafarin (balance of $2.9 million at December 31, 2013)
generated non-taxable interest income of $1.0 million. Payments to the Iranian Civil Aviation Authority for the clearance of overflight permits for Shell Aircraft
over Iranian airspace amounted to $33,475 during 2013. There was no gross revenue or net profit associated with these transactions. On occasion, our aircraft may be routed over Iran and therefore these payments may continue in the future. In Downstream, through Shells retail credit cards activities, we provided retail services in 2013 to the following Iranian diplomatic missions in France:
Délégation permanente de la République islamique dIran auprès de lUNESCO and Ambassade Republique Islamique. Sales to these missions were paid for using credit cards issued by Shell through a third-party
reseller. Associated with these sales, Shells revenue on supplies to the reseller amounted to some $91,000 with a net profit of approximately $6,000 in 2013. The reseller has now terminated its contracts with Iranian diplomatic missions. Also,
through Shells retail credit card activities, we provided retail services directly to the following diplomatic missions: Botschaft der Islamischen Republik Iran and Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in Austria; the
Generalkonsulat der Islamischen Republic Iran in Germany; Consulate General of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in Hong Kong, China; Iráni Nagykövetség, in Hungary; Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in Malaysia; and Mission
Permanente dIran, in Switzerland. In 2013, these activities generated a gross revenue of $32,739 and a net profit of $724. All of these contractual agreements were terminated in 2013. Through Shells retail credit cards activities, we
also provided retail services in Switzerland to Naftiran Intertrade Co. (NICO) Sàrl. In 2013, this activity generated a gross revenue of $2,603 and a net profit of $148. This contract was also terminated in 2013. At December 31, 2013, we have approximately $2,429 million payable to, and $12 million receivable from, the National Iranian Oil Company. The amount of the
payable increased by $93 million during 2013 as a result of currency movements and was not due to any change in the value of the underlying balances. We are unable to settle the payable position as a result of applicable sanctions. The amount of the
receivable has increased as a result of work to complete our 2013 disclosure, during which we established that the amount reported for 2012 was understated by $1 million.
