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., with a corporate seat in The Hague ("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 101,000 employees
in more than 90 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 consists 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 Manufacturing, Marketing and Chemicals
businesses, and was expanded to include Trading and Alternative Energy activities in Shell, excluding
Wind, which is part of Upstream.

A new business, called Projects & Technology, combines all of Shell's major project delivery,
technical services and technology capability covering both Upstream and Downstream. It also
oversees 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.
