Shell to nominate Mr. Charles O. Holliday jr. as non-executive director

The Hague March 11, 2010

The Board of Royal Dutch Shell plc (the Company) (NYSE: RDS.A, NYSE: RDS.B)
announces its intention to propose to the 2010 Annual General Meeting that Mr.
Charles ("Chad") Holliday jr, be elected a non-executive director of the Company
with effect from September 1st, 2010.

Mr. Holliday has served as CEO and chairman of the board of DuPont since January
1, 1999. He retired as CEO on January 31, 2009 and as chairman of the board of
DuPont on December 31, 2009. Mr. Holliday started at DuPont in the summer of
1970 at DuPont's Old Hickory site after receiving a B.S. in industrial
engineering from the University of Tennessee.  Under Holliday’s leadership,
DuPont established a goal of achieving sustainable growth - increasing
shareholder and societal value while simultaneously decreasing DuPont's
environmental footprint. As a result, DuPont has shifted from being a chemical
company to being a science-based products and services company.

Mr. Holliday currently serves as an Executive in Residence at Vanderbilt
University Business School and Chairman Emeritus of the Council on
Competitiveness. Holliday previously served as Chairman of the World Business
Council for Sustainable Development, The Business Council, Catalyst and the
Society of the Chemical Industry – American Section.

He is a member of the Board of Directors of Bank of America and John Deere
Corporations. Mr. Holliday holds a honorary doctorate from Polytechnic
University of New York, is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and
is licensed professional engineer.

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 34% shareholding in Woodside Petroleum Ltd.)
ownership interest held by Shell in a venture, partnership or company, after
exclusion of all third-party interest.
