Shell plc announced the euro and pounds sterling equivalent dividend payments for its second quarter 2026 interim dividend. The payout follows the July 30, 2026 announcement of a US$0.3906 per ordinary share dividend.

Shareholders who validly submitted currency elections by August 28, 2026, are entitled to receive their dividends in US dollars, euros, or pounds sterling. Those without a valid election will receive dividends in euros if held through Euroclear Nederland, or in pounds sterling for other holdings.

Dividend Payment Details

The dividend is payable on September 21, 2026, to members whose names appeared on the Register of Members as of August 14, 2026. The euro and pounds sterling amounts were converted from US dollars using an average of market exchange rates over three dealing days from September 2 to September 4, 2026.

Taxation and Elections

Shell advised shareholders uncertain about the tax treatment of cash dividends to consult their tax advisors. A different currency election date may apply to shareholders holding shares in securities accounts with banks or financial institutions ultimately holding through Euroclear Nederland.

Shareholders in such arrangements, or those not holding directly on the Register of Members or via the corporate sponsored nominee arrangement, should contact their broker, financial intermediary, bank, or financial institution for applicable election deadlines.
