CAUTIONARY NOTEThe 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 Royal Dutch Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general
or to those who work for them. These terms are also used where no
useful purpose is served by identifying the particular entity or
entities. ‘‘Subsidiaries’’, “Shell subsidiaries” and “Shell
companies” as used in this announcement refer to entities 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 an entity or unincorporated joint
arrangement, after exclusion of all third-party interest.
This announcement contains forward-looking statements (within
the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995) 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 “aim”,
“ambition’, ‘‘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. No assurance is provided 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, 2018 (available

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, October 31, 2019. 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.
