Shell è una multinazionale petrolifera e del gas naturale impegnata in esplorazione, estrazione, raffinazione, trasporto e vendita di prodotti energetici.

L'obbligazione con codice ISIN US822582AH53, identificata anche dal codice CUSIP 822582AH5, emessa dalla Shell, una delle maggiori compagnie energetiche e petrolchimiche a livello mondiale con sede principale nel Regno Unito, ha completato il suo ciclo di vita finanziario, essendo giunta a scadenza e regolarmente rimborsata il 22 settembre 2015. Questo strumento di debito, denominato in dollari statunitensi (USD), prevedeva un tasso d'interesse fisso annuale del 3,25%, con pagamenti delle cedole distribuiti due volte all'anno. L'emissione totale ammontava a 1.000.000.000 USD, con una dimensione minima di acquisto per gli investitori fissata a 1.000 USD. Al momento della scadenza, il prezzo di mercato dell'obbligazione era al 100% del suo valore nominale, confermando il rimborso integrale agli obbligazionisti. La solidità creditizia dell'emittente Shell era supportata da giudizi elevati da parte delle principali agenzie di rating: Standard & Poor's aveva assegnato una valutazione di AA-, mentre Moody's aveva attribuito un rating di Aa1, entrambi indicativi di un'eccellente capacità di adempiere agli obblighi finanziari.

SUMMARY

This summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read carefully the
entire prospectus supplement, the attached prospectus and the additional documents incorporated by reference
herein for more information on Royal Dutch Shell plc ("Royal Dutch Shell"), Shell International Finance B.V.
("Shell Finance") and recent transactions involving Royal Dutch Shell and Shell Finance. In this prospectus
supplement, the terms "we", "our" and "us" refer to Shell Finance and Royal Dutch Shell. Shell Finance is the
issuer and Royal Dutch Shell is the guarantor in this offering. The "Shell Group" refers to Royal Dutch Shell
and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Shell Finance.

Royal Dutch Shell

Shell is a global group of energy and petrochemicals companies. With around 102,000 employees in more than
100 countries and territories, Shell helps to meet the world's growing demand for energy in economically,
environmentally and socially responsible ways.

As from July 1, 2009 a new organizational structure has been in place in Shell. Shell's Upstream activities
were previously managed in three separate organizations - Exploration & Production, Gas & Power and Oil Sands.
Under the new structure, Upstream will consist of two businesses: Upstream Americas covering North and South
America, and Upstream International covering the rest of the world.

The Downstream organization consists of the Refining, Marketing and Chemicals businesses, and will be
expanded to include Trading and Alternative Energy activities in Shell, excluding Wind, which is part of Upstream.

A new business, called Projects & Technology, will combine all of Shell's major project delivery, technical
services and technology capability covering both Upstream and Downstream. It will also oversee Shell's safety and
environmental performance.

Set out below is a summary of our main activities:

Upstream (both in Upstream Americas and Upstream International)

· Our Exploration & Production activities search for and recover oil and natural gas around the world. Many
of these activities are carried out as joint venture partnerships, often with national oil companies.

· Our Liquified Natural Gas (``LNG") activities liquefy natural gas and transport it to customers across the
world. The gas-to-liquids (``GTL") business utilizes a proprietary process to convert natural gas into
cleaner-burning synthetic fuel and other products.

· Our Oil Sands business, the Athabasca Oil Sands Project, extracts bitumen - an especially thick, heavy oil -
from oil sands in Alberta, western Canada, and converts it to synthetic crude oils that can be turned into a
range of products.

· Other Upstream activities include the development of wind power to generate electricity and also the
licensing of our coal gasification technology, enabling coal to be used as a chemical feedstock and for more
efficient generation of electricity.

Downstream

· Our Oil Products business manufactures, moves and sells a range of petroleum-based products around the
world for domestic, industrial and transport use. With around 45,000 service stations, ours is the world's
largest single-branded fuel retail network.

· Our Chemicals business produces petrochemicals for industrial customers. They include the raw materials
for plastics, coatings and detergents used in the manufacture of textiles, medical supplies and computers.

· Our Alternative Energy unit focuses on development and marketing of biofuels and hydrogen as well as the
synthetic fuel and products made from the GTL process.

· The Downstream organization also leads company-wide activities in CO2 management.

Recent Development

On September 3, 2009, Royal Dutch Shell Plc's long-term credit ratings were downgraded to AA from AA+ by
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services.
