2 DEFINITIONS & CAUTIONARY NOTE Reserves: Our use of the term reserves in this presentation means SEC proved oil and gas reserves. Resources: Our use of the term resources in this presentation includes quantities of oil and gas not yet classified as SEC proved oil and gas reserves. Resources are consistent with the Society of Petroleum Engineers 2P and 2C definitions. Organic: Our use of the term Organic includes SEC proved oil and gas reserves excluding changes resulting from acquisitions, divestments and year-average pricing impact. Resources plays: our use of the term resources plays refers to tight, shale and coal bed methane oil and gas acreage. The companies in which Royal Dutch Shell plc directly and indirectly owns investments are separate entities. In this presentation 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.

3 SHELL AND CLIMATE CHANGE Long recognised importance of climate challenge and role of energy in enabling quality of life. The challenge is to provide more energy and less CO 2. Energy transition underway: Renewables will become a significant part of the global energy system; To address shortcomings in availability, intermittency, storage and energy density, renewables will need a combination with cleaner hydrocarbons. Society will struggle to achieve its climate goals without a meaningful carbon price and, longer term, without CCS. Shell will play its role to bring more energy and less CO 2, especially in areas where we have the skills such as natural gas, biofuels and CCS. 3
