Royal Dutch Shell plc

The Hague, November 1, 2016

The companies in which Royal Dutch Shell plc directly and indirectly owns
investments are separate legal entities. In this announcement “Shell”,
“Shell group” and “Royal Dutch Shell” are sometimes used for
convenience where references are made to Royal Dutch Shell plc 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’’,
“Shell subsidiaries” and “Shell companies” as used in this
announcement refer to companies over which Royal Dutch Shell plc either
directly or indirectly has control. Entities and unincorporated arrangements
over which Shell has joint control are generally referred to as “joint
ventures” and “joint operations” respectively. Entities 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 interest.

This announcement contains forward-looking statements concerning the financial
condition, results of operations and businesses of Royal Dutch 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 Royal
Dutch 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 Royal Dutch Shell and could cause those results to differ
materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in
this announcement, 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. There can be no assurance that future dividend payments
will match or exceed previous dividend payments. All forward-looking
statements contained in this announcement 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. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are
contained in Royal Dutch Shell’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31,
2015 (available at www.shell.com/investor and www.sec.gov). These risk factors
also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this
announcement and should be considered by the reader. Each forward-looking
statement speaks only as of the date of this announcement, November 1, 2016.
Neither Royal Dutch Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a
result of new information, future events or other information. In light of
these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or
inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement.
