Please note that a vote withheld is not a vote under English Law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for and against a resolution.



Shell Chief Executive Officer Ben van Beurden said: Shareholder support is critical as our business changes and we work towards our target to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050, in step with society. This shareholder vote on our Energy Transition Strategy is a first for an energy company and we are pleased shareholders demonstrated their strong endorsement with more than 88% of votes cast in favour of our strategy. We thank shareholders for their support and look forward to our continued engagement with them. We also note the outcome of the vote on Shareholder Resolution number 21. We will seek to fully understand the reason why shareholders voted as they did, particularly those who voted both For Shells strategy and For the Shareholder Resolution, and will formally report back to investors within six months".
