Note
Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")
The LTIP is a performance based share plan under which Directors receive a
conditional award of shares ("performance shares"). The actual number of
performance shares which Directors could finally receive under the plan ranges
from nil to two times the conditional award, subject to the performance of the
Company over a period of at least three years. For the purposes of disclosure
and maintenance of certain statutory records, the number of performance shares
is taken to be one times the number of performance shares conditionally
awarded. Performance shares attract dividends in the form of shares ("dividend
shares") and, whilst Directors could finally receive dividend shares based on
two times the conditional award, such dividend shares are disclosed and
recorded on the basis of the number of shares conditionally awarded. Further
details of the LTIP can be found in the Royal Dutch Shell Annual Report and
Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Performance Share Plan ("PSP")
When awards are made under the LTIP other than to the Executive Directors the
plan is called the Performance Share Plan. Simon Henry received awards under
the PSP prior to his appointment as an Executive Director with effect from May
20, 2009. Further details of the PSP can be found in the Royal Dutch Shell
Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Deferred Bonus Plan ("DBP")
The DBP provides for Directors to accrue dividends in the form of shares
("dividend shares") on their deferred bonus shares and, provided certain
conditions are met, to receive one guaranteed matching share for every four
deferred bonus and dividend shares. Additional performance related matching
shares can be earned depending on the performance of the Company, the number of
such additional matching shares ranging from nil to three for every four
deferred bonus shares and dividend shares held. For the purposes of disclosure
and maintenance of certain statutory records, the number of shares is taken to
be the number of deferred bonus shares, dividend shares on such deferred bonus
shares, and the guaranteed matching shares. Further details of the DBP can be
found in the Royal Dutch Shell Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year ended
December 31, 2008.
Restricted Share Plan ("RSP")
The RSP is a share plan under which certain employees and Directors may receive
a conditional award of shares. The shares vest three years after the award date
subject to the employee or the Director being employed by a Shell Group company
at that time. The participation of Directors in this plan was approved at the
Annual General Meeting of Royal Dutch Shell plc on 20 May 2008. The conditional
shares awarded under the RSP attract dividends in the form of shares ("dividend
shares") during the vesting period. Further details of the RSP can be found in
the Royal Dutch Shell Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year ended December
31, 2008.
