These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “aim”; “ambition”; ‘‘anticipate’’; “aspire”, “aspiration”, ‘‘believe’’; “commit”; “commitment”; ‘‘could’’; “desire”; ‘‘estimate’’; ‘‘expect’’; ‘‘goals’’; ‘‘intend’’; ‘‘may’’; “milestones”; ‘‘objectives’’; ‘‘outlook’’; ‘‘plan’’; ‘‘probably’’; ‘‘project’’; ‘‘risks’’; “schedule”; ‘‘seek’’; ‘‘should’’; ‘‘target’’; “vision”; ‘‘will’’; “would” and similar terms and phrases. There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this announcement, including (without limitation): (a) price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas; (b) changes in demand for Shell’s products; (c) currency fluctuations; (d) drilling and production results; (e) reserves estimates; (f) loss of market share and industry competition; (g) environmental and physical risks, including climate change; (h) risks associated with the identification of suitable potential acquisition properties and targets, and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions; (i) the risk of doing business in developing countries and countries subject to international sanctions; (j) legislative, judicial, fiscal and regulatory developments including tariffs and regulatory measures addressing climate change; (k) economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions; (l) political risks, including the risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities, delays or advancements in the approval of projects and delays in the reimbursement for shared costs; (m) risks associated with the impact of pandemics, regional conflicts, such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the conflict in the Middle East, and a significant cyber security, data privacy or IT incident; (n) the pace of the energy transition; and (o) changes in trading conditions. No assurance is provided that future dividend payments will match or exceed previous dividend payments. All forward-looking statements contained in this announcement are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plc’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 (available at \u003Ca href=\"https://www.shell.com/investors/news-and-filings/sec-filings.html\"\u003Ewww.shell.com/investors/news-and-filings/sec-filings.html\u003C/a\u003E and \u003Ca href=\"http://www.sec.gov/\"\u003Ewww.sec.gov\u003C/a\u003E). These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this announcement and should be considered by the reader.  Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this announcement, June 2, 2026. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cb\u003EShell’s net carbon intensity\u003C/b\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAlso, in this announcement we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cb\u003EShell’s net-zero emissions target\u003C/b\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EShell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our combined Scope 1 and 2 target, NCI target and our oil products ambition over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cb\u003EForward-Looking non-GAAP measures\u003C/b\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe contents of websites referred to in this announcement do not form part of this

Moerdijk's solar farm still supplies a small share of the complex’s electricity demand (it was 5% when it was commissioned).\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESince then, many more and larger solar parks have been built in the Netherlands, including five by Shell. \u003Cb\u003EThe energy company has continued to invest billions in the energy transition.\u003C/b\u003E As of 2026, Shell’s fifth wind farm in the Netherlands — and its fourth offshore — is under construction, the Holland Hydrogen 1 green hydrogen plant is nearing completion, and more and more Shell Recharge charging points are being installed for electric drivers. Shell Energy, together with Shell Trading, helps companies in the Netherlands to make their energy use more sustainable, while Shell Biogas has plans to produce a natural gas alternative in collaboration with farmers.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003E\u003Cb\u003EFurnaces and circular plastic\u003C/b\u003E\u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EShell has not been standing still in Moerdijk either. Recently, \u003Cb\u003Ethe replacement of sixteen old furnaces with eight more energy-efficient versions was complete\u003C/b\u003Ed. This took place in the largest plant on site. This upgrade delivers \u003Cb\u003Ea further 10 per cent reduction in CO₂ emissions\u003C/b\u003E — once again equivalent to taking 50,000 cars off the road.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe plant concerned is called \u003Cb\u003EMoerdijk Lower Olefins (MLO)\u003C/b\u003E and is a so-called cracker. It splits and separates larger and smaller molecular chains in order to use the smaller parts to create new basic chemicals for everyday products. With the renewal of the furnaces, the \u003Cb\u003Enumber of chimneys has been reduced from ten to six\u003C/b\u003E. Hence the project was given the name \u003Ci\u003E\u003Cb\u003ESkyline\u003C/b\u003E\u003C/i\u003E.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EEqually innovative is Moerdijk’s solution to tackle the growing mountain of plastic waste generated by households across the Netherlands. On 8 November 2024, \u003Cb\u003Ea new plant was commissioned to enable the reuse of plastic waste\u003C/b\u003E that is difficult to recycle.

Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cb\u003EShell’s net-zero emissions target\u003C/b\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EShell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our combined Scope 1 and 2 target, NCI target and our oil products ambition over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cb\u003EForward-Looking non-GAAP measures\u003C/b\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies
