In its email statement to Energy Window International (Media), it said that shareholders were able to elect to receive their dividends in US dollars, euros or pounds sterling. It said that holders of ordinary shares who validly submitted US dollars, euros or pounds sterling currency elections by November 28, 2025 would be entitled to a dividend of US$0.358, €0.3070 or 26.85p per ordinary share, respectively.
Adding that in the absence of any valid election to the contrary, persons holding their ordinary shares through Euroclear Nederland would be receiving their dividends in euros at the euro rate per ordinary share, and that in the absent any valid election to the contrary, shareholders (both holding in certificated and uncertificated form (CREST members)) and persons holding their shares through the Shell Corporate Nominee will receive their dividends in pounds sterling, at the pound sterling rate per ordinary share, as each shareholder was also enjoined to make consultation in the case of any clarification.
It said Euro and pounds sterling dividends payable in cash have been converted from US dollars based on an average of market exchange rates over the three dealing days from December 3 to December 5, 2025, with dividend payment to those members whose names were on the Register of Members on November 14, 2025 due by December 18, 2025
And “if you are uncertain”, that’s on taxation – cash dividend, “as to the tax treatment of any dividends you should consult your tax advisor.”
It noted that a different currency election date may apply to shareholders holding shares in a securities account with a bank or financial institution ultimately holding through Euroclear Nederland. And to other shareholders who do not hold their shares either directly on the Register of Members or in the corporate sponsored nominee arrangement, this may also apply
