Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific share classes (RDSA, RDSB, RDS.A) and their respective trading prices on June 27, 2011, to reconcile the reported transaction values.
- Confirm the vesting schedules and performance conditions for the LTIP and PSP as detailed in the 2010 Form 20-F.
- Review the Deferred Bonus Plan rules to understand the 25% to 50% investment requirement for executive bonuses.
- Note that the reported share counts for performance shares are based on the conditional award (1x) for disclosure purposes, not the potential maximum (2x).
