Royal Dutch Shell plc (“Shell”)
published a circular on 15 November 2021 which includes a notice of
a General Meeting to be held at Rotterdam Ahoy, Ahoyweg 10, 3084 BA
Rotterdam, the Netherlands at 10:00 (Dutch time), 09:00 (UK time)
on December 10, 2021 (the “Circular”).
Unfortunately, since publication of the Circular, COVID-19
public transmission concerns have only intensified making it more
imperative to take all steps we deem necessary to protect the
health and safety of our shareholders, employees and GM staff as
well as the public.
Shell’s Articles of Association do not permit virtual only
meetings if physical attendance is permitted by national
legislation. Therefore, Shell must conduct the meeting in
accordance with the Dutch government’s COVID-19 related public
health measures and public health advice. At the date of this
announcement, the Dutch government permits public gatherings up to
1,250 persons.
However, safety is our priority interest – and that applies to
our shareholders, our employees, all GM support staff and the
public. With that context, we respectfully urge shareholders to
reflect on whether physically attending the meeting is in theirs
and the public’s best interest. We strongly recommend you
watch the meeting webcast in the safety of your homes and exercise
your GM voting rights online, ahead of the meeting
(see below for further
information).
Shareholders are reminded that in order to attend the General
Meeting in person, they must present a COVID-19 certificate via the
CoronaCheck app or equivalent for other jurisdictions, and comply
with any other COVID-19 measures the venue or Shell may impose.
Due to COVID-19 considerations, the meeting will focus
solely on the formal business set out in the Notice of Meeting.
Regrettably that means we will not hold presentations, nor will we
provide the usual buffet lunch after the meeting.
If any circumstances change, including if legislation is
introduced to prohibit or severely restrict public gatherings,
Shell reserves the right to act upon changes which may be relevant
for the purpose of the General Meeting. To the extent Shell does
make further changes to the arrangements for the General Meeting,
it will communicate these via a regulatory information service and
its website.
Given the continuously evolving COVID-19 situation, shareholders
are encouraged to register in the “Keep up to date with Shell”
section of the Shell website at www.shell.com/investors to receive
information regarding the General Meeting including any further
changes and updates.
