ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC THIRD QUARTER 2010 INTERIM DIVIDEND

The Board of Royal Dutch Shell plc (“RDS”) today announced an interim dividend
in respect of the third quarter of 2010 of US$0.42 per A ordinary share (“A
Share”) and B ordinary share (“B Share”), equal to the US dollar dividend for
the same quarter last year.
Beginning with this third quarter interim dividend for 2010, RDS provides
eligible shareholders with a choice to receive dividends in cash or in shares
via a Scrip Dividend Programme (“the Programme”).

Details relating to the third quarter 2010 interim dividend
It is expected that cash dividends on the B Shares will be paid via the Dividend
Access Mechanism from UK-sourced income of the Shell Group.

Per ordinary share	Q3 2010
RDS A Shares (US$)	0.42
RDS B Shares (US$)	0.42

Dividends declared on A Shares will be paid by default in euro, although holders
of A Shares will be able to elect to receive dividends in pounds sterling.
Dividends declared on B Shares will be paid, by default, in pounds sterling,
although holders of B Shares will be able to elect to receive dividends in euro.

The pounds sterling and euro equivalent dividend payments will be announced on
December 3, 2010.

Per ADS	                Q3 2010
RDS A ADSs (US$)	0.84
RDS B ADSs (US$)	0.84

Dividends declared on American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) will be paid, by
default, in US dollars.
ADS stands for an American Depositary Share. ADR stands for an American
Depositary Receipt. An  ADR is a certificate that evidences ADSs.  ADSs are
listed on the NYSE under the symbols RDS.A and RDS.B.  Each ADS represents two
ordinary shares, two A Shares in the case of  RDS.A or two B Shares in the case
of RDS.B.  In many cases the terms ADR and ADS are used interchangeably.

Scrip dividend programme launched
Beginning with its third quarter interim dividend for 2010, RDS provides
shareholders with a choice to receive dividends in cash or in shares via a Scrip
Dividend Programme (the “Programme”).
Under the Programme shareholders can increase their shareholding in RDS by
choosing to receive new shares instead of cash dividends if declared by RDS.
Only new A Shares will be issued under the Programme, including to shareholders
who currently hold B Shares.
Joining the Programme may offer a tax advantage in some countries compared with
receiving cash dividends. In particular, dividends paid out as shares will not
be subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax (currently 15 per cent) and will
not generally be taxed on receipt by a UK shareholder or a Dutch corporate
shareholder.
Shareholders who elect to join the Programme will increase the number of shares
held in RDS without having to buy existing shares in the market, thereby
avoiding associated dealing costs.
Shareholders who do not join the Programme will continue to receive in cash any
dividends declared by RDS.
For further information on the Programme, including how to join if you are
eligible, please refer to the appropriate publication available on

N.V. have been withdrawn; the dividend reinvestment feature of the plan provided
by The Bank of New York Mellon has likewise been withdrawn.
Shareholders who participated in one of these Dividend Reinvestment Plans will
in most cases not automatically be enrolled in the Scrip Dividend Programme and
will in most cases need to elect to join.
For full information on the Scrip Dividend Programme, please refer to the
appropriate publication available on www.shell.com/scrip.
Shareholders who do not join the Scrip Dividend Programme will continue to
receive in cash any dividends declared by RDS.

Taxation cash dividends
Cash dividends on A Shares will be subject to the deduction of Netherlands
dividend withholding tax at the rate of 15%, which may be reduced in certain
circumstances. Provided certain conditions are met, shareholders in receipt of A
Share cash dividends may also be entitled to a non-payable dividend tax credit
in the United Kingdom.
Shareholders resident in the United Kingdom, receiving cash dividends on B
Shares through the Dividend Access Mechanism, are entitled to a tax credit. This
tax credit is not repayable. Non-residents may also be entitled to a tax credit,
if double tax arrangements between the United Kingdom and their country of
residence so provide, or if they are eligible for relief given to non-residents
with certain special connections with the United Kingdom or to nationals of
states in the European Economic Area.
The amount of tax credit is 10/90ths of the cash dividend, the tax credit
referable to the third quarter 2010 interim dividend of US$0.42 is US$0.05 per
ordinary share and the dividend and tax credit together amount to US$0.47. The
pounds sterling and euro equivalents will be announced on December 3, 2010.
