Cautionary Note

The companies in which Royal Dutch Shell plc directly and indirectly owns
investments are separate 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 in which Royal Dutch Shell either directly or
indirectly has control, by having either a majority of the voting rights or the
right to exercise a controlling influence. The companies in which Shell has
significant influence but not control are referred to as “associated companies”
or “associates” and companies in which Shell has joint control are referred to
as “jointly controlled entities”. In this announcement, associates and jointly
controlled entities are also referred to as “equity-accounted investments”. The
term “Shell interest” is used for convenience to indicate the direct and/or
indirect (for example, through our 24% shareholding in Woodside Petroleum Ltd.)
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’’, ‘‘intend’’,
‘‘may’’, ‘‘plan’’, ‘‘objectives’’, ‘‘outlook’’, ‘‘probably’’, ‘‘project’’,
‘‘will’’, ‘‘seek’’, ‘‘target’’, ‘‘risks’’, ‘‘goals’’, ‘‘should’’ 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) reserve
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. 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 factors that may affect future results are contained in Royal Dutch
Shell’s 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2011 (available at
www.shell.com/investor and www.sec.gov ). These factors also should be
considered by the reader.  Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the
date of this announcement, 1 November 2012. Neither Royal Dutch Shell 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.
