We Offer Investor Friendly Environment - Ukrainian President

Wed, 23 May 2012 09:00:00 +0000

We Offer Investor Friendly Environment - Ukrainian President

PR Newswire

KYIV, Ukraine, May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

The President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych regards interest of such major international companies as Chevron and Exxon Mobil as an indication for effective cooperation between investors and the state. Speaking to journalists at the 2012 NATO Summit in Chicago, Ukrainian leader reckoned that Ukraine provided favorable conditions for capital investments.

Ukraine exempted companies which produce shale gas in the country from import tax on equipment and export duty, stated earlier Roman Storozhev, president of the Gas Traders of Ukraine Association. Moreover, in case several deposits are discovered in one field they are taxed as one tax object, according to Storozhev.

During the Chicago summit President Yanukovych also expressed hope that cooperation with Chevron would contribute to the development of gas fields in Ukraine. As a result, this would help Ukraine diversify energy sources. The statement followed the meeting of the Ukrainian leader with Vice President of the American company Ian MacDonald on May 21^st.

While in Chicago, Ukrainian leader also met with Exxon Mobil executive Stephen Greenlee. During the meeting the parties signed memorandum regulating cooperation between the Ukrainian Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources and Exxon Mobil Exploration.

Ukrainian oil and gas sector attracts a string of international companies. According to NJSC Naftogaz, in 2011 Ukraine started cooperation with ExxonMobil, Chevron, Halliburton, Total, RWE, Eni, and StatOil regarding development of unconventional hydrocarbons.

Recently, Chevron and Royal Dutch Shell plc obtained the right to develop Ukrainian shale gas fields. The estimated investment in the fields will amount to at least USD 370 million. The number would grow significantly should the gas reserves prove to be commercially viable.

In May of 2012 British company Cadogan Petroleum declared its plans to invest up to one billion dollars in the development of Ukrainian hydrocarbons. Besides the estimated reserves, company executive listed the developed infrastructure on border with Western Europe as a contributing factor for their decision.

Additionally, in September of 2011 Ukraine signed a deal on development of unconventional hydrocarbons with Exxon Mobil Corporation and an agreement that regulates the involvement of the Royal Dutch Shell plc in shale gas extraction and diversification of energy resources mining in Ukraine.

Royal Dutch Shell plc first quarter 2012 scrip dividend programme reference share price

Wed, 16 May 2012 10:12:56 +0000

16/05/2012

The Board of Royal Dutch Shell plc (“RDS”) today announced the Reference Share Price in respect of the first quarter interim dividend of 2012, which was announced on April 26th, 2012 at $0.43 per A ordinary share (“A Share”) and B ordinary share (“B Share”) and $0.86 per American Depository Share (“ADS”).

Reference Share Price

The Reference Share price is used for calculating a Participating Shareholder’s entitlement under the Scrip Dividend Programme, as defined below.

Q1 2012 Reference share price (US$) 32.785

The Reference Share Price is the US dollar equivalent of the average of the closing price for the Company’s A Shares listed on Euronext Amsterdam for the five dealing days commencing on (and including) the date on which the Shares are first quoted ex-dividend in respect of the relevant dividend. The Reference Share Price is calculated by reference to the Euronext Amsterdam closing price in euro. The US dollar equivalent of the closing price on each of the dealing days referred to above is calculated using a market currency exchange rate prevailing at the time.

Reference ADS Price

ADS stands for “American Depositary Share”. ADR stands for “American Depositary Receipt”. An ADR is a certificate that evidences ADSs (though the terms ADR and ADS are often used interchangeably). ADSs are listed on the NYSE under the symbols RDS.A and RDS.B. Each ADS represents two ordinary shares, two ordinary A Shares in the case of RDS.A or two ordinary B Shares in the case of RDS.B.

Q1 2012 Reference ADS price (US$) 65.570

The Reference ADS Price equals the Reference Share Price of the two A Shares underlying each new A ADS. A recent court ruling has established that Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT) is not due on the issue of shares to a US depositary. Therefore, the Reference ADS price no longer includes an adjustment for the deduction of SDRT (or the Dutch withholding tax associated with the payment of SDRT). Given these changes, there is no longer a need to have an Alternative Reference ADS Price. The Reference ADS Price will instead apply to all A ADSs and B ADSs. Royal Dutch Shell plc is currently exploring together with the Depository how ADS holders might reclaim SDRT amounts deducted on previous issues under the Scrip Dividend Programme. Details will be made available as soon as possible on the dividend section of the Royal Dutch Shell plc website: www.shell.com/dividend .

Scrip dividend programme

RDS provides shareholders with a choice to receive dividends in cash or in shares via a Scrip Dividend Programme. Under the Programme shareholders can increase their shareholding in RDS by choosing to receive new shares instead of cash dividends if declared by RDS. Only new A Shares will be issued under the Programme, including to shareholders who currently hold B Shares. Joining the Programme may offer a tax advantage in some countries compared with receiving cash dividends. In particular, dividends paid out as shares will not be subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax (currently 15 per cent) and will not generally be taxed on receipt by a UK shareholder or a Dutch corporate shareholder. Shareholders who elect to join the Programme will increase the number of shares held in RDS without having to buy existing shares in the market, thereby avoiding associated dealing costs. Shareholders who do not join the Programme will continue to receive in cash any dividends declared by RDS. Shareholders who held only B shares and joined the Scrip Dividend Programme are reminded they will need to make a Scrip Dividend Election in respect of their new A shares if they wish to join the Programme in respect of such new shares. However, this is only necessary if the shareholder has not previously made a Scrip Dividend Election in respect of any new A shares issued. For further information on the Programme, including how to join if you are eligible, please refer to the appropriate publication available on www.shell.com/scrip .
