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 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" or "Shell" refers to Royal Dutch Shell and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Shell Finance.
Shell Activities
Royal Dutch Shell is one of the world's largest independent oil and gas companies in terms of market capitalisation, operating cash flow and oil and gas
production. We aim to sustain our strong operational performance and continue our investments primarily in countries that have the necessary infrastructure,
expertise and remaining growth potential. Such countries include Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, China, Denmark, Germany, Malaysia, the Netherlands,
Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Qatar, Russia, the UK and the USA.
We are bringing new oil and gas supplies on-stream from major field developments. We are also investing in growing our integrated gas activities. For
example, our Pearl gas-to-liquids ("GTL") plant completed its ramp-up at the end of 2012. In Downstream we seek innovative ways to market liquefied natural
gas ("LNG"), for example through the use of LNG in the transport sector.
At the same time, we are exploring for oil and gas in prolific conventional geological formations, such as those found in Australia, Brazil and the Gulf of
Mexico. But we are also exploring for hydrocarbons in formations, such as low-permeability reservoirs in the USA, Australia, Canada and China, which can be
developed by fracturing techniques.
We also have a focused portfolio of refineries and chemical plants. Furthermore, we are a leading biofuel producer and fuel retailer in Brazil, through our
Raízen joint venture. We have a strong retail position not only in the major industrialised countries, but also in the developing ones. The distinctive Shell pecten, (a
trademark in use since the early part of the twentieth century), and trademarks in which the word Shell appears, support this marketing effort throughout the world.
A strong patent portfolio underlies the technology that we employ in our various businesses. In total, Shell currently has more than 14,000 granted patents and
pending patent applications.
Shell Businesses
Upstream International manages the Upstream businesses outside the Americas. It explores for and recovers crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids,
liquefies and transports gas, and operates the upstream and midstream infrastructure necessary to deliver oil and gas to market. Upstream International also
manages Shell's LNG and GTL businesses. Since January 2013, it manages its operations primarily by line of business, with this structure overlaying individual
country organisations. This organisation is supported by activities such as Exploration and New Business Development. Previously activities were organised
primarily by geographical location.
Upstream Americas manages the Upstream businesses in North and South America. It explores for and recovers crude oil, natural gas and natural gas
liquids, transports gas and operates the upstream and midstream infrastructure necessary to deliver oil and gas to market. Upstream Americas also extracts bitumen
from oil sands that is converted into synthetic crude oil. Additionally, it manages the US-based wind business. It manages its operations by line of business,
supported by activities such as Exploration and New Business Development.

markets petrochemicals for industrial customers, including the raw materials for plastics, coatings and detergents. Downstream also trades Shell's flow of
hydrocarbons and other energy-related products, supplies the Downstream businesses, governs the marketing and trading of gas and power, and provides shipping
services. Additionally, Downstream oversees Shell's interests in alternative energy (including biofuels but excluding wind) and CO m

The Offering
Please refer to "Description of Notes" on page S-9 of this prospectus supplement and "Description of Debt Securities" on page 15 of the attached
prospectus for more information about the notes.

Notes:
$1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.900% Guaranteed Notes due 2018.

$1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.400% Guaranteed Notes due 2023.

$1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.550% Guaranteed Notes due 2043.

Guarantee:
The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Royal Dutch Shell as to the payment of
principal, premium (if any) and interest, including any additional amounts that may be payable.

Maturity:
We will repay the 2018 notes at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest on August 10,
2018, the 2023 notes at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest on August 12, 2023 and
the 2043 notes at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest on August 12, 2043.

Interest payment dates:
Every February 10 and August 10, commencing on February 10, 2014, for the 2018 notes, every
February 12 and August 12, commencing on February 12, 2014, for the 2023 notes and every
February 12 and August 12, commencing on February 12, 2014, for the 2043 notes.

Regular record dates:
Every January 25 and July 25 for the 2018 notes, every January 27 and July 27 for the 2023 notes
and every January 27 and July 27 for the 2043 notes.

Ranking:
The notes and the guarantees will constitute unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Shell
Finance and Royal Dutch Shell, respectively, and will rank equally with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding of Shell Finance and Royal Dutch Shell,
respectively. Because Royal Dutch Shell is a holding company, the guarantee will effectively rank
junior to any indebtedness of its subsidiaries.

Optional redemption:
The notes will be redeemable as a whole or in part, at the option of Shell Finance at any time or
from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of
the notes being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments
of principal and interest thereon (exclusive of interest accrued and unpaid to the date of redemption)
discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points, in the case of the 2018 notes, 12
basis points in the case of the 2023 notes and 15 basis points in the case of the 2043 notes, plus in
each case accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption.

Tax redemption:
In the event of tax law changes that require us to pay additional amounts as described under
"Description of Debt Securities--Provisions Applicable to Each Indenture--Optional Tax
Redemption" in the attached prospectus, we may call the notes for redemption, in whole but not in
part, prior to maturity.

Table of Contents
Substitution:
We may cause Royal Dutch Shell or any subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell to assume the obligations of
Shell Finance under the notes. Additionally, should any entity become the 100% owner of Royal
Dutch Shell, such entity may assume the obligations of Royal Dutch Shell. U.S. tax implications of
these provisions to holders are described under "Taxation--U.S. Taxation--U.S. Taxation of Debt
Securities--Merger and Consolidation/Substitution of Issuer" of the attached prospectus.
Book-entry issuance,
denominations, settlement
and clearance:
We will issue the notes in fully registered form in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000. The notes will be represented by one or more global securities registered in the
name of a nominee of The Depository Trust Company, referred to as DTC. You will hold beneficial
interests in the notes through DTC and its direct and indirect participants, including Euroclear and
Clearstream, Luxembourg, and DTC and its direct and indirect participants will record your
beneficial interest on their books. We will not issue certificated notes except in limited
circumstances that we explain under "Legal Ownership--Global Securities--Special Situations
When the Global Security Will Be Terminated" in the attached prospectus. For information on DTC's
book-entry system, see "Clearance and Settlement--The Clearing Systems--DTC" in the attached
prospectus.
Separate series; further
issues:
The terms of the 2018 notes, the 2023 notes and the 2043 notes will be identical, except as set forth
in this prospectus supplement. The 2018 notes, the 2023 notes and the 2043 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.

The issuance of each of the 2018 notes, the 2023 notes and the 2043 notes is not conditioned on the

issuance of any other series of notes.

The indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued
thereunder and we may, without the consent of 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 interest payment date). If we reopen any
series of notes and issue additional notes, such additional notes will constitute part of a single series
of debt securities consisting of such additional notes along with the related series of notes offered
hereby.

Listing:
Application will be made for listing of the notes on the New York Stock Exchange.
