ROYAL DUTCH SHELL : FIRST QUARTER 2018 INTERIM DIVIDEND

ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC FIRST QUARTER 2018 INTERIM DIVIDEND

The Board of Royal Dutch Shell plc ("RDS" or the "Company") today announced an
interim dividend in respect of the first quarter of 2018 of US$0.47 per A
ordinary share ("A Share") and B ordinary share ("B Share"), equal to the US
dollar dividend for the same quarter last year.

On November 28, 2017, RDS announced the cancellation of its Scrip Dividend
Programme with effect from the fourth quarter 2017 interim dividend. The
cancellation means the first quarter 2018 interim dividend and future dividends
will be settled entirely in cash, rather than the Company offering a share-based
alternative. For further details please refer to www.shell.com/scrip.

It is expected that cash dividends on the B Shares will be paid via the Dividend
Access Mechanism from UK-sourced income of the Shell group.

not hold their shares either directly on the Register of Members or in the
corporate sponsored nominee arrangement. Shareholders can contact their broker,
financial intermediary, bank or financial institution for the election deadline
that applies.

Taxation - cash dividends

Cash dividends on A Shares will be subject to the deduction of Dutch dividend
withholding tax at the rate of 15%, which may be reduced in certain
circumstances. Non-Dutch resident shareholders, depending on their particular
circumstances, may be entitled to a full or partial refund of Dutch dividend
withholding tax.

Furthermore, in April 2016, there were changes to the UK taxation of dividends.
The dividend tax credit was abolished, and a tax free dividend allowance
introduced, this was £5,000 for the 2016/17 and 2017/18 tax years and reduced to
£2,000 for the 2018/19 tax year. Dividend income in excess of the allowance is
taxable at the following rates: 7.5% within the basic rate band; 32.5% within
the higher rate band; and 38.1% on dividend income taxable at the additional
rate.

If you are uncertain as to the tax treatment of any dividends you should consult
your tax advisor.

Dividend Reinvestment Plans

Equiniti Financial Services Limited ("EFSL"), part of the same group of
companies as the Company's Registrar, Equiniti Limited, has reintroduced its
Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") which enables RDS shareholders to elect to
have their dividend payments used to purchase RDS shares of the same class as
those already held by them.

The dividend reinvestment options offered by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and The Bank of
New York Mellon have also been reintroduced and shareholders interested in these
options should contact the relevant provider. More information can be found at
www.shell.com/drip.

To be eligible for the next dividend, shareholders must make a valid dividend
reinvestment election before the published date for the close of elections.
