Shell is a global group of energy and petrochemical companies, involved in the exploration, production, refining, transportation, and marketing of oil and natural gas.

An analysis of the Shell bond, identified by ISIN US822582CH36 (CUSIP: 822582CH3), unveils a notable fixed-income instrument issued by a prominent global energy entity. Shell plc, headquartered in the United Kingdom, stands as a multinational oil and gas company with a comprehensive portfolio encompassing exploration, production, refining, and marketing of petroleum products and natural gas, alongside significant operations in the chemicals sector. The company is concurrently expanding its investments in renewable energy and low-carbon solutions, aligning with its strategic transition towards sustainable energy. Shell's robust financial health and extensive global operations are key contributors to its strong credit profile. This particular bond issue, denominated in USD, represents a substantial total offering size of $2,000,000,000. It features an annual interest rate (coupon) of 3.25%, with coupon payments distributed semi-annually, corresponding to a payment frequency of two times per year. Prospective investors should be aware of the minimum purchase size, set at $1,000. This is a long-dated security, scheduled to mature on April 5, 2050, offering considerable long-term exposure to the creditworthiness of Shell. As of the latest market data, the bond is trading at 68.416% of its par value. This current market price, trading at a discount, indicates a yield to maturity higher than the stated coupon rate, reflecting prevailing market conditions or specific bond characteristics. The credit quality of this issuance is affirmed by strong ratings from leading credit agencies: Standard & Poor's has assigned an A+ rating, while Moody's has provided an Aa2 rating, both signifying a very strong capacity to meet financial commitments.

424B2
Royal Dutch Shell is an international energy company with expertise in the exploration, development, production, refining and marketing of oil and
natural gas, as well as in the manufacturing and marketing of chemicals. Shell is one of the world's largest independent energy companies in terms of
market capitalisation, cash flow from operating activities, and production levels.
Shell explores for crude oil and natural gas worldwide, both in conventional fields and from sources such as tight rock, shale and coal formations.
Shell works to develop new crude oil and natural gas supplies from major fields.
Shell also extracts bitumen from oil sands, which Shell converts into synthetic crude oil. Shell cools natural gas to provide liquefied natural gas
("LNG") that can be safely shipped to markets around the world, and Shell converts gas to liquids ("GTL"). Shell transports and trades oil, gas and
other energy-related products, such as electricity and carbon-emissions rights.
Shell's portfolio of refineries and chemical plants enables Shell to capture value from the oil and gas production, turning them into a range of refined
and petrochemical products, which are moved and marketed around the world for domestic, industrial and transport use. The products Shell sells
include gasoline, diesel, heating oil, aviation fuel, marine fuel, LNG for transport, lubricants, bitumen and sulphur. Shell also produces and sells
ethanol from sugar cane in Brazil, through its Raízen joint venture.
Shell invests in low-carbon energy solutions such as biofuels, hydrogen, wind and solar power, and in other commercial opportunities linked to the
energy transition.
The integration of Shell's businesses is one of its competitive advantages, allowing for optimizations across Shell's global portfolio. Shell's key
strengths include the development and application of innovation and technology, the financial and project management skills that allow Shell to safely
develop large and complex projects, the management of integrated value chains and the marketing of energy products. The distinctive Shell pecten, a
trademark in use since the early part of the 20th century, and trademarks in which the word Shell appears, help raise the profile of Shell's brand
globally.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
This section describes the specific financial and legal terms of the notes and supplements the more general description under "Description of Debt
Securities" in the attached prospectus. To the extent that the following description is inconsistent with the terms described under "Description of Debt
Securities" in the attached prospectus, the following description replaces that in the attached prospectus.
General
The 2025 notes will be issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000 and will mature on April 6, 2025, the 2030 notes will be issued in
an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000 and will mature on April 6, 2030, and the 2050 notes will be issued in an initial aggregate principal
amount of $1,250,000,000 and will mature on April 6, 2050. Book-entry interests in the notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 and in
integral multiples of $1,000.
The notes will bear interest at the rates per annum shown on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, payable in arrears on April 6 and October 6 of
each year to holders of record on the preceding March 22 and September 21, as the case may be, commencing on October 6, 2020 (or the first following
Business Day (as defined below), if such day is not otherwise a Business Day, as if made on the date payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the
amount payable for the period from and after the interest payment date). Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.
"Business Day" means any week day on which banking or trust institutions in neither New York nor London are authorized generally or obligated by law,
regulation or executive order to close.
Application will be made for listing of the notes on the New York Stock Exchange. No assurance can be made that such application will be approved or
that a liquid trading market for the notes will develop. The notes and guarantees are governed by New York law.
The notes will be the unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Shell Finance and will rank equally with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness from time to time outstanding.
Royal Dutch Shell will fully and unconditionally guarantee on an unsubordinated basis the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium (if any),
and interest on the notes, including any additional amounts, when and as any such payments become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon
redemption or declaration of acceleration, or otherwise. The guarantee of the notes will be unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Royal Dutch
Shell and will rank equally with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. Because Royal Dutch Shell is a
holding company, the guarantee will effectively rank junior to any indebtedness of Royal Dutch Shell's subsidiaries.
The 2025 notes, the 2030 notes and the 2050 notes will each constitute a separate series of notes under the indenture relating to the notes. Each such series
will be separate from any other series of debt securities that may be issued from time to time in the future under the indenture relating to guaranteed debt
securities issued by Shell Finance, dated as of June 27, 2006, among Shell Finance, Royal Dutch Shell and the trustee, Deutsche Bank Trust Company

the holders of the notes, issue additional debt securities, including additional notes, having the same ranking and same interest rate, maturity date,
redemption terms and other terms as the notes described in this prospectus supplement (except for the price to public, issue date, and in some cases, the first

The trustee at its principal corporate trust office in the city of New York is designated as the principal paying agent. We may at any time designate
additional paying agents or rescind the designation of paying agents or approve a change in the office through which any paying agent acts.
We will issue the notes in fully registered form. Each series of notes will be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a
nominee of DTC. You will hold a beneficial interest in the notes through DTC and its participants, including Clearstream, Luxemburg and Euroclear. See
"Clearance and Settlement" in the attached prospectus for more information about these clearing systems.

TAXATION
U.S. Taxation
The first section in the attached prospectus under "TAXATION -- U.S. Taxation" should be replaced with the section below:
"This section describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of securities we may offer pursuant to this
prospectus. It applies to you only if you acquire the offered securities in an offering or offerings contemplated by this prospectus and you hold the offered
securities as capital assets for tax purposes. This section, to the extent it represents a discussion of U.S. federal income tax law, is the opinion of Cravath,
Swaine & Moore LLP, U.S. counsel to the issuer.
This section applies to you only if you are a U.S. holder. You are a U.S. holder if you are a beneficial owner of an offered security and you are for U.S.
federal income tax purposes:

·
a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

·
a corporation, or entity taxable as a corporation, that was created or organized under the laws of the U.S. or any of its political subdivisions;

·
an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

·
a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to

control all substantial decisions of the trust; or (ii) the trust has made a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated
as a U.S. person.

financial transaction;

·
a person who is an investor in a pass through entity (such as a partnership);

·
a person who acquires shares through the exercise of options, or otherwise as compensation, or through a tax-qualified retirement plan;

a U.S. expatriate;

·
holders of options granted under any benefit plan;

·
a person liable for alternative minimum tax; or

This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations, published
rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.
If a partnership holds the offered securities, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the
partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding the offered securities, you should consult your tax advisor.
This summary does not address the alternative minimum tax, any non-income tax (such as estate or gift taxes) or any state, local or non-U.S. tax
consequences of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of our securities.
We urge you to consult your own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state and local and other tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of
offered securities in your particular circumstances."
The section in the attached prospectus entitled "TAXATION -- U.S. Taxation -- U.S. Taxation of Debt Securities -- Information Reporting and Backup
Withholding" should be replaced with the section below:
"Under the tax rules concerning information reporting to the IRS

·
Assuming the debt securities are held through a broker or other securities intermediary, the intermediary must provide information to the IRS
and to the U.S. holder on IRS Form 1099 concerning interest, OID and retirement proceeds on the debt securities, unless an exemption

applies. As discussed above under "Premium and Discount", if the debt securities have OID, the amount reported to such holder may have to
be adjusted to reflect the amount that must be reported in such holder's tax return.

·
Similarly, unless an exemption applies, the U.S. holder must provide the intermediary with such holder's Taxpayer Identification Number for

its use in reporting information to the IRS. If the U.S. holder is an individual, this is such holder's social security number. The U.S. holder is
also required to comply with other IRS requirements concerning information reporting.

·
If the U.S. holder is subject to these requirements but does not comply, the intermediary must withhold (at a rate of 24%) of all amounts

payable on the debt securities (including principal payments). This is called "backup withholding". If the intermediary withholds payments,
the U.S. holder may credit the withheld amount against its federal income tax liability.
