<p>Cautionary note</p>

<p>The companies in which Royal Dutch Shell plc directly and indirectly owns investments are separate legal entities. In this report &ldquo;Shell&rdquo;,
&ldquo;Shell Group&rdquo; and &ldquo;Group&rdquo; are sometimes used for convenience where references are made to Royal Dutch Shell plc
and its subsidiaries in general. Likewise, the words &ldquo;we&rdquo;, &ldquo;us&rdquo; and &ldquo;our&rdquo; 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. &lsquo;&lsquo;Subsidiaries&rsquo;&rsquo;, &ldquo;Shell subsidiaries&rdquo;
and &ldquo;Shell companies&rdquo; as used in this report 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 &ldquo;joint ventures&rdquo;
and &ldquo;joint operations&rdquo;, respectively.&nbsp; Entities over which Shell has significant influence but neither control nor joint
control are referred to as &ldquo;associates&rdquo;. The term &ldquo;Shell interest&rdquo; 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.</p>

<p>This report 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 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&rsquo;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 Shell to market risks and statements expressing management&rsquo;s expectations, beliefs,
estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such
as &ldquo;aim&rdquo;, &ldquo;ambition&rdquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;anticipate&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;believe&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;could&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;estimate&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;expect&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;goals&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;intend&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;may&rsquo;&rsquo;, &ldquo;milestones&rdquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;objectives&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;outlook&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;plan&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;probably&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;project&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;risks&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&ldquo;schedule&rdquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;seek&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;should&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;target&rsquo;&rsquo;, &lsquo;&lsquo;will&rsquo;&rsquo;
and similar terms and phrases. There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of Shell and could cause those results
to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this report, including (without limitation): (a)
price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas; (b) changes in demand for Shell&rsquo;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; (m) risks associated with the impact of pandemics, such as the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak; and (n) 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 report 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 plc&rsquo;s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020 (available at www.shell.com/investor and
www.sec.gov). These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this report and should be considered
by the reader.&nbsp; Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this report, October 27, 2021. 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 report.</p>
