News Release
Royal Dutch Shell plc completes acquisition of Shell Canada Limited
26 Apr 2007
Calgary, Alberta Shell Canada announces that Royal Dutch Shell plc (RDS),
through its wholly-owned subsidiary Shell Investments Limited, has acquired all of the
remaining outstanding common shares of Shell Canada pursuant to the compulsory acquisition
procedures available under the Canada Business Corporations
Act. RDS now beneficially owns 100%
of the common shares of Shell Canada.
With the completion of the compulsory acquisition, Shell Canadas common shares were delisted from the
Toronto Stock Exchange as of the close of the market on April 25, 2007. Shell Canada has also
applied to securities regulators to cease to be a reporting issuer under Canadian securities laws
which, if granted, would relieve Shell Canada from its public reporting obligations effective later this month.
