November&nbsp;15, 2021, Shell plc (the &#147;Company&#148; or &#147;Registrant&#148;, formerly Royal Dutch Shell plc) published a Circular seeking shareholder approval to amend the Company&#146;s Articles of Association (&#147;Articles&#148;). These
amendments related to the deletion or amendment of certain bespoke provisions concerning the location of the Company&#146;s headquarters, general meetings and Board meetings, as well as the introduction of a new provision to grant the Board the
power to change the Company&#146;s name. Having received the approval of shareholders at its General Meeting on December&nbsp;10, 2021, on December&nbsp;20, 2021, the Board decided to proceed with its proposal to simplify the Company&#146;s share
structure by establishing a single line of shares to eliminate the complexity of the Company&#146;s A/B share structure and align its tax residence with its country of incorporation in the United Kingdom (&#147;UK&#148;) by relocating Board and
Executive Committee meetings, and the CEO and CFO, to the UK. The related amendments to the Company&#146;s Articles of Association were adopted by the Board with immediate effect. </P>
