Royal Dutch Shell plc (the `Company') announces that it has entered into an
irrevocable, non-discretionary arrangement with an independent third party to
enable the purchase of `B' ordinary shares, for cancellation, during the period
from 31 March 2014 up to and including 30 April 2014 which period includes the
2014 first quarter results close period.

As previously announced, the purpose of the share buy-back programme is to
offset dilution created by the issuance of shares for the Company's Scrip
Dividend Programme. At this time, it is less economic for the Company to
purchase `A' ordinary shares under the share buy-back programme due to Dutch
dividend withholding Tax rules.

Any purchases will be effected within certain pre-set parameters and in
accordance with the Company's general authority to repurchase shares and
Chapter 12 of the Listing Rules.
