Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Royal Dutch Shell plc, dated April 18, 2013, serves as a notice regarding the company's 2013 Annual General Meeting (AGM). The filing does not contain financial results for a specific reporting period but references the Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. These metrics are contained in the referenced Annual Report and Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are available via the National Storage Mechanism or the company website.
Material Changes
The primary material change disclosed is the cancellation of the audio-visual link to a satellite meeting place in London for the 2013 AGM. This decision follows shareholder feedback and a significant drop in the percentage of votes cast by shareholders present in London (approximately 0.005% at the 2012 AGM). The AGM will instead be webcast for remote shareholders.
