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, 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 an international energy company with expertise in the exploration, development, production, refining and marketing of oil and
natural gas, as well as in the manufacturing and marketing of chemicals. Shell is one of the world's largest independent energy companies in terms of
market capitalisation, cash flow from operating activities, and production levels.
Shell explores for crude oil and natural gas worldwide, both in conventional fields and from sources such as tight rock, shale and coal formations.
Shell works to develop new crude oil and natural gas supplies from major fields.
Shell also extracts bitumen from oil sands, which Shell converts into synthetic crude oil. Shell cools natural gas to provide liquefied natural gas
("LNG") that can be safely shipped to markets around the world, and Shell converts gas to liquids ("GTL"). Shell transports and trades oil, gas and
other energy-related products, such as electricity and carbon-emissions rights.
Shell's portfolio of refineries and chemical plants enables Shell to capture value from the oil and gas production, turning them into a range of refined
and petrochemical products, which are moved and marketed around the world for domestic, industrial and transport use. The products Shell sells
include gasoline, diesel, heating oil, aviation fuel, marine fuel, LNG for transport, lubricants, bitumen and sulphur. Shell also produces and sells
ethanol from sugar cane in Brazil, through its Raízen joint venture.
Shell invests in low-carbon energy solutions such as biofuels, hydrogen, wind and solar power, and in other commercial opportunities linked to the
energy transition.
The integration of Shell's businesses is one of its competitive advantages, allowing for optimizations across Shell's global portfolio. Shell's key
strengths include the development and application of innovation and technology, the financial and project management skills that allow Shell to safely

424B2
develop large and complex projects, the management of integrated value chains and the marketing of energy products. 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 Shell's brand
globally.

$1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.375% Guaranteed Notes due 2029.

Guarantee:
The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Royal Dutch Shell as to the
payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest, including any additional amounts that
may be payable.

Maturity:
We will repay the 2024 notes at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest on
November 7, 2024, the 2029 notes at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest on

Interest payment dates:
Every May 7 and November 7, commencing on May 7, 2020.

Regular record dates:
Every April 22 and October 23.

Ranking:
The notes and the guarantees will constitute unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of
Shell Finance and Royal Dutch Shell, respectively, and will rank equally with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding of Shell Finance
and Royal Dutch Shell, respectively. Because Royal Dutch Shell is a holding company, the
guarantee will effectively rank junior to any indebtedness of its subsidiaries.

Optional redemption:
Prior to the applicable Par Call Date (as defined in "Description of Notes -- Optional
Redemption"), the notes will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of Shell
Finance, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i)
100% of the principal amount of the notes, as applicable, being redeemed and (ii) the sum of
the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon
(exclusive of interest accrued and unpaid to the date of redemption) discounted to the
redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months) at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points, in the case of the 2024 notes, 10 basis
points, in the case of the 2029 notes, and 15 basis points, in the case of the 2049

redemption.

Tax redemption:
In the event of tax law changes that require us to pay additional amounts as described under
"Description of Debt Securities -- Provisions Applicable to Each Indenture -- Optional Tax
Redemption" in the attached prospectus, we may call the notes for redemption, in whole but
not in part, prior to maturity.

Substitution:
We may cause Royal Dutch Shell or any subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell to assume the
obligations of Shell Finance under the notes. Additionally, should any entity become the
100% owner of Royal Dutch Shell, such entity may assume the obligations of Royal Dutch
Shell. U.S. tax implications of these provisions to holders are described under "Taxation --
U.S. Taxation -- U.S. Taxation of Debt Securities -- Merger and Consolidation/Substitution
of Issuer" of the attached prospectus.
Book-entry issuance, denominations,
settlement and clearance:
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 ("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 2024 notes, the 2029 notes and the 2049 notes will be identical, except as set
forth in this prospectus supplement. The 2024 notes, the 2029 notes and the 2049 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 2024 notes, the 2029 notes and the 2049 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, maturity date, redemption terms and other terms as the notes

S-6
Table of Contents
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.

attached prospectus, which includes information incorporated by reference from our 2018

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 2024 notes will be issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000,000 and will mature on November 7, 2024, the 2029 notes will be
issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000 and will mature on November 7, 2029, and the 2049 notes will be issued in an initial
aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000,000 and will mature on November 7, 2049. Book-entry interests in the notes will be issued in minimum
denominations of $1,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000.
The notes will bear interest at the rates per annum shown on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, payable in arrears on May 7 and November 7 of
each year to holders of record on the preceding April 22 and October 23, as the case may be, commencing on May 7, 2020 (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 notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.
"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.
Application will be made for listing of the notes on the New York Stock Exchange. No assurance can be made that such application will be approved or
that a liquid trading market for the notes will develop. The notes and guarantees are governed by New York law.
The notes will be the unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Shell Finance and will rank equally with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness from time to time outstanding.
Royal Dutch Shell will fully and unconditionally guarantee on an unsubordinated basis the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium (if any),
and interest on the notes, including any additional amounts, when and as any such payments become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon
redemption or declaration of acceleration, or otherwise. The guarantee of the notes will be unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Royal Dutch
Shell and will rank equally with all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. Because Royal Dutch Shell is a
holding company, the guarantee will effectively rank junior to any indebtedness of its subsidiaries.
The 2024 notes, the 2029 notes and the 2049 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 relating to guaranteed debt
securities issued by Shell Finance, dated as of June 27, 2006, among Shell Finance, Royal Dutch Shell and the trustee, Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas. 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, 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.

The trustee at its principal corporate trust office in the city of New York is designated as the principal paying agent. We may at any time designate
additional paying agents or rescind the designation of paying agents or approve a change in the office through which any paying agent acts.
We will issue the notes in fully registered form. Each series of notes will be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a
nominee of DTC. You will hold a beneficial interest in the notes through DTC and its participants, including Clearstream, Luxemburg and Euroclear. See
"Clearance and Settlement" in the attached prospectus for more information about these clearing systems.
Payment of Additional Amounts
The government of any jurisdiction where Royal Dutch Shell or Shell Finance is resident may require Royal Dutch Shell or Shell Finance to withhold
amounts from payments on the principal or interest on the notes or any amounts to be paid under the guarantee, as the case may be, for taxes or any other
governmental charges. If a withholding of this type is required, Royal Dutch Shell or Shell Finance, as the case may be, may be required to pay you an
additional amount so that the net amount you receive will be the amount specified in the note to which you are entitled. For more information on additional
amounts and the situations in which Royal Dutch Shell or Shell Finance must pay additional amounts, see "Description of Debt Securities -- Provisions
Applicable to Each Indenture -- Payment of Additional Amounts" in the attached prospectus.
