Royal Dutch Shell plc - Share Buy-back Programme
LONDON, March 28, 2014/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

Royal Dutch Shell plc (the 'Company') (NYSE:RDS.A) (NYSE:RDS.B) announces that
it has entered into an irrevocable, non-discretionary arrangement with an
independent third party to enable the purchase of 'B' ordinary shares, for
cancellation, during the period from 31 March 2014 up to and including 30 April
2014 which period includes the 2014 first quarter results close period.
As previously announced, the purpose of the share buy-back programme is to
offset dilution created by the issuance of shares for the Company's Scrip
Dividend Programme. At this time, it is less economic for the Company to
purchase 'A' ordinary shares under the share buy-back programme due to Dutch
dividend withholding Tax rules.
Any purchases will be effected within certain pre-set parameters and in
accordance with the Company's general authority to repurchase shares and Chapter
12 of the Listing Rules.
