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 production. Shell aims for strong operational performance and productive investments around the world. Shell explores for oil and gas
worldwide, both from conventional fields and from sources such as tight rock, shale and coal formations.
Shell works to develop new oil and gas supplies from major fields. For example, in 2014 Shell began production from the Gumusut-
Kakap deep-water project in Malaysia, the Mars B and Cardamom developments in the deep-water Gulf of Mexico, USA, and the Bonga
North West project off the coast of Nigeria. Shell also invests in expanding our integrated gas business. For example, in January 2014, Shell
acquired a part of Repsol S.A.'s liquefied natural gas ("LNG") portfolio, including supply positions in Peru and Trinidad and Tobago.
Shell's portfolio of refineries and chemical plants enables us to capture value from the oil and gas that Shell produces. Furthermore,
Shell is a leading biofuel producer and fuel retailer in Brazil, through our Rafzen joint venture. Shell has a strong retail position not only in the
major industrialised countries, but also in developing countries. 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 our brand globally. A strong patent portfolio underlies
the technology that we employ in our various businesses. In total, Shell has more than 15,000 granted patents and pending patent applications.
Shell Businesses
Upstream International manages the Upstream activities outside the Americas. It explores for and recovers crude oil, natural gas and
natural gas liquids, transports oil and gas and operates the upstream and midstream infrastructure necessary to deliver oil and gas to market.
Upstream International also manages Shell's LNG and gas to liquid businesses outside the Americas, and markets and trades natural gas,
including LNG outside the Americas. It manages its operations primarily by line of business, with this structure overlaying country
organisations. This organisation is supported by activities such as Exploration and New Business Development.
Upstream Americas manages the Upstream activities in North and South America. It explores for and recovers crude oil, natural gas
and natural gas liquids, transports oil and 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. It manages the LNG business in the
Americas, including assets in Peru and Trinidad and Tobago acquired in 2014. 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.

and CO2 management.
Recent Developments
On April 8, 2015, we announced that the Boards of Shell and BG Group plc ("BG") reached agreement on the terms of a recommended
cash and share offer to be made by Shell for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of BG. The terms of the transaction represent a
value of approximately £47 billion. Completion of the transaction is subject to certain conditions, including certain antitrust approvals and
favorable votes by the shareholders of each of Shell and BG, and is currently expected to occur in early 2016.
In connection with the announcement, Standard & Poors, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings Service each indicated that they
were placing Shell on credit watch with negative implications.

We will issue the notes in fully registered form in minimum denominations of $1,000
and integral multiples of $1,000. Each series of 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 2020 notes, the 2025 notes, the 2035 notes, the 2045 notes and the 2020
floating rate notes will be identical, except as set forth in this prospectus supplement.
The 2020 notes, the 2025 notes, the 2035 notes, the 2045 notes and the 2020 floating rate
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 2020 notes, the 2025 notes, the 2035 notes, the 2045 notes

and the 2020 floating rate 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 (in the case of the 2020 notes, the 2025 notes, the 2035 notes and the 2045
notes) or interest rate basis and number of basis points to be added to or subtracted from

the related interest rate basis (in the case of the 2020 floating rate notes), 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.

Use of proceeds:
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes for general corporate
purposes.

business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer, and the trading price and liquidity of the notes could decline, in which case
you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risk Relating to the 2020 Floating Rate Notes
The amount of interest payable on the 2020 floating rate notes is set only once per interest period based on the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") on the applicable interest determination date.
Historically, LIBOR has experienced significant changes usually reflecting changes in the overall interest rate environment. However,
historical levels, fluctuations and trends of the LIBOR are not necessarily indicative of future levels. Any historical upward or downward trend in
the LIBOR is not an indication that the LIBOR is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during an interest period, and the historical
levels of the LIBOR may not be an indication of its future movements. Although the actual LIBOR on an interest payment date or at other times
during an interest period may be higher than the LIBOR on the applicable interest determination date, holders of the 2020 floating rate notes will
not benefit from the LIBOR at any time other than on the interest determination date for such interest period. As a result, changes in the LIBOR
may not result in a comparable change in the market value of the 2020 floating rate notes.
Changes or reforms relating to the LIBOR calculation process, or uncertainty as to such changes or reforms, may adversely affect the value of
the 2020 floating rate notes.
Regulators and law enforcement agencies in the United Kingdom and elsewhere have been conducting civil and criminal investigations into
whether the banks that contribute in connection with the calculation of daily LIBOR may have been manipulating or attempting to manipulate
LIBOR. It is unknown at this time what effect, if any, these investigations and any related litigation will have on the use of LIBOR as a global
benchmark.
Actions by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (or any successor administrator of LIBOR) (the "IBA"), legislative bodies, regulators or
law enforcement agencies may result in changes to the manner in which LIBOR is determined. At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of
any such changes and any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. Any changes or reforms to the
manner in which LIBOR is determined, or any uncertainty as to the nature of such potential changes or reforms, may adversely affect the trading
market for LIBOR-based securities, including the 2020 floating rate notes.
The IBA as the administrator of LIBOR has no obligation to investors, and may take actions in respect of LIBOR without regard to the
interests of any investor in the 2020 floating rate notes. Any changes or reforms to LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease
in the reported LIBOR rate, or affect its volatility, which could have an adverse impact on the value of the 2020 floating rate notes.

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 2020 notes will be issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000,000 and will mature on May 11, 2020, the 2025 notes
will be issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $2,750,000,000 and will mature on May 11, 2025, the 2035 notes will be issued in an
initial aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000 and will mature on May 11, 2035, the 2045 notes will be issued in an initial aggregate
principal amount of $3,000,000,000 and will mature on May 11, 2045 and the 2020 floating rate notes will be issued in an initial aggregate
principal amount of $750,000,000 and will mature on May 11, 2020. Book-entry interests in the notes will be issued in minimum denominations of
$1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000.
The 2020 notes, the 2025 notes, the 2035 notes and the 2045 notes will bear interest at the rates per annum shown on the cover page of this
prospectus supplement, payable in arrears on May 11 and November 11 of each year to holders of record on the preceding April 26 and October 26,
as the case may be, commencing on November 11, 2015 (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 2020 notes, the 2025 notes, the 2035 notes and the 2045 notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.
The interest rate on the 2020 floating rate notes for the first Interest Period (as defined below) will be the 3-month U.S. dollar LIBOR, as
determined on May 7, 2015 plus 0.45%. Thereafter, the interest rate on the 2020 floating rate notes for any Interest Period will be U.S. dollar
LIBOR, as determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (as defined below), plus 0.45%. The interest rate on the 2020 floating rate
notes will be reset quarterly on each Interest Reset Date (as defined below). The first Interest Payment Date (as defined below) on the 2020 floating
rate notes will be August 11, 2015. For each Interest Period, interest on the 2020 floating rate notes will be calculated on the basis of the actual
number of days in the Interest Period divided by 360.
The Calculation Agent (as defined below) will determine U.S. dollar LIBOR in accordance with the following provisions: With respect to
any Interest Determination Date, U.S. dollar LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on
the Interest Reset Date that appears on the designated LIBOR page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date. If no rate
appears, U.S. dollar LIBOR, in respect of that Interest Determination Date, will be determined as follows: the Calculation Agent will request the
principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent (after
consultation with us), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of three months,
commencing on the Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest
Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least
two quotations are provided, then U.S. dollar LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer
than two quotations are

provided, then U.S. dollar LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (after
consultation with us) for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount that is
representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time; provided, however, that if the banks selected by the Calculation
Agent are not providing quotations in the manner described by this sentence, U.S. dollar LIBOR determined as of that Interest Determination Date
will be U.S. dollar LIBOR in effect on that Interest Determination Date. The designated LIBOR page is the Reuters screen "LIBOR01", or any
successor service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollars. The Reuters screen "LIBOR01" is the
display designated as the Reuters screen "LIBOR01", or such other page as may replace the Reuters screen "LIBOR01" on that service or such
other service or services as may be denominated by the IBA for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits.
All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating the Interest Rate on the notes shall be conclusive and binding on the
holders of notes, Royal Dutch Shell plc, Shell International Finance B.V. and the trustee, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, absent
manifest error.
"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.
"Business Day Convention" means that if any Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, that Interest Payment Date will
be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day unless that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case the Interest
Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.
"Calculation Agent" means Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas.
"Interest Determination Date" means, for each particular Interest Reset Date, the second London Business Day (as defined below) preceding
such Interest Reset Date.
"Interest Payment Date" means February 11, May 11, August 11 and November 11 of each year, in the case of the 2020 floating rate notes,
subject to the Business Day Convention.
"Interest Period" means the period beginning on, and including, an Interest Payment Date and ending on, but not including, the following
Interest Payment Date; provided that the first Interest Period will begin on May 11, 2015 and will end on, but not include, the first Interest Payment
Date.
"Interest Reset Date" means, for each Interest Period other than the first Interest Period, the first day of such Interest Period, subject to the
Business Day Convention.
"London Business Day" means any week day on which banking or trust institutions in London are not authorized generally or obligated by
law, regulation or executive order to close.
The interest rate, as described above, on the 2020 floating rate notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the Interest Payment Dates, to
holders of record on the fifteenth calendar day preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, whether or not such day is a Business Day.
All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or
.0987655)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded
upwards).
