ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC THIRD QUARTER 2017 SCRIP DIVIDEND PROGRAMME REFERENCE 
SHARE PRICE 
 
The Board of Royal Dutch Shell plc ("RDS") today announced the Reference Share 
Price in respect of the third quarter interim dividend of 2017, which was 
announced on November 2, 2017 at $0.47 per A ordinary share ("A Share") and B 
ordinary share ("B Share") and $0.94 per American Depository Share ("ADS"). 
 
Reference Share Price 
 
The Reference Share price is used for calculating a Participating Shareholder's 
entitlement under the Scrip Dividend Programme, as defined below. 
 
                                      Q3 2017 
 
Reference Share price (US$)           30.925 
 
The Reference Share Price is the US dollar equivalent of the average of the 
closing price for the Company's A Shares listed on Euronext Amsterdam for the 
five dealing days commencing on (and including) the date on which the Shares 
are first quoted ex-dividend in respect of the relevant dividend. 
 
The Reference Share Price is calculated by reference to the Euronext Amsterdam 
closing price in euro. The US dollar equivalent of the closing price on each of 
the dealing days referred to above is calculated using a market currency 
exchange rate prevailing at the time. 
 
Reference ADS Price 
 
ADS stands for "American Depositary Share". ADR stands for "American Depositary 
Receipt". An ADR is a certificate that evidences ADSs (though the terms ADR and 
ADS are often used interchangeably).  ADSs are listed on the NYSE under the 
symbols RDS.A and RDS.B.  Each ADS represents two ordinary shares, two ordinary 
A Shares in the case of RDS.A or two ordinary B Shares in the case of RDS.B. 
 
                                      Q3 2017 
 
Reference ADS price (US$)             61.850 
 
The Reference ADS Price equals the Reference Share Price of the two A Shares 
underlying each new A ADS. 
 
Scrip Dividend Programme 
 
RDS provides shareholders with a choice to receive dividends in cash or in 
shares via the 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 approved by the 
Board. Only new A Shares will be issued under the Programme, including to 
shareholders who currently hold B Shares. 
 
In some countries, joining the Programme may currently offer a tax advantage 
compared with receiving cash dividends. In particular, dividends paid out as 
shares by RDS will not be subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax (currently 
15 per cent), unlike cash dividends paid on A shares, and they will not 
generally be taxed on receipt by a UK shareholder or a Dutch 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 approved by the Board. 
 
Shareholders who held only B Shares and joined the Programme are reminded they 
will need to make a Scrip Dividend Election in respect of their new A Shares if 
they wish to join the Programme in respect of such new shares.  However, this 
is only necessary if the shareholder has not previously made a Scrip Dividend 
Election in respect of any new A Shares issued. 
 
For further information on the Programme, including how to join if you are 
eligible, please refer to the appropriate publication available on
