Shell shareholders vote to delist from Netherlands

Saleha Riaz : Fri, December 10, 2021, 3:20 PM Shareholders in oil giant Shell (RDSB.L) have overwhelmingly voted to switch its headquarters from the Netherlands to the UK, ending the company’s dual share structure, and drop “Royal Dutch” from the name.

The move, planned for early 2022, “will enable a simplification of the company’s share structure and an increase in the speed and flexibility of capital and portfolio actions”, said Shell’s chair Sir Andrew Mackenzie said.

He said the board believes “the simplification will strengthen Shell’s competitiveness and accelerate both shareholder distributions and delivery of its strategy to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050”. read more

Can we still be friends? Shell sends Dutch PM parting note

Fargo, ND, USA / The Mighty 790 KFGO | KFGO Thomson Reuters: Dec 10, 2021 | 11:23 AM By Toby Sterling

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – On the day that shareholders of Royal Dutch Shell PLC voted to move the company’s headquarters to London from The Hague, the company sent a letter to the Dutch prime minister to soften the blow.

Signed by Shell CEO Ben van Beurden, the letter said Shell’s departure had been “a difficult message for us to announce,” given the company had more than a century of history.

But the letter to Prime Minister Mark Rutte outlined the many projects and activities Shell will continue in the Netherlands, including retaining 8,500 employees, and the division-level management of Shell’s upstream (production), renewable energy and projects & technology divisions. read more

Shell shareholders vote on move to London

Danny KEMP: Fri, December 10, 2021, 2:03 AM: AFP

Shareholders in oil giant Shell will vote Friday on plans to switch its headquarters from the Netherlands to Britain after a century and drop Royal Dutch from the name.

Europe’s biggest energy firm says the move would simplify its tax and share arrangements, and accelerate its transition to net-zero emissions.

But its chairman also admitted the plan was driven by the Dutch government’s scrapping of plans to withdraw a tax on dividends.

The Dutch government said it was “unpleasantly surprised” by the plan, while Britain has hailed it as a vote of confidence in the British economy post-Brexit. read more

Op-Ed: Will Shell’s oil future outlast its ocean namesakes?

BY CYNTHIA BARNETT

DEC. 9, 2021 3:02 AM PT

When Royal Dutch Shell’s new chairman, Andrew Mackenzie, asks shareholders on Friday for their vote to move the global oil giant’s headquarters from the Netherlands to Britain and drop the “Royal Dutch,” he will also be asking to return the company home.

In a history better suited to fairy tales than the financial pages, Shell rose from a small seashell shop in the East End of London. In the 1830s, a Jewish curio seller named Marcus Samuel began importing tropical seashells from the Far East. His shop sold “small Shells for Ladies’ work,” along with large, shining specimens such as conchs and nautiluses for still-life drawing. read more

Shell pulling the plug on the Cambo North Sea oilfield is a problem for us, too

Oliver Shah Sunday December 05 2021, 12.01am, The Sunday Times

You can’t be sure of much when it comes to Shell these days — and Shell, it seems, can’t be sure of anything when it comes to politics. Last month, chief executive Ben van Beurden was fêted for moving the oil major’s headquarters from Holland to London as part of a simplification of its corporate structure.

On Thursday, Shell pulled out of a major oil project in a storm of recrimination, saying the economics were “not strong enough at this time” and complaining of “potential for delays”. read more

Forget Shell. Amsterdam Stock Market’s Having a Knock-Out Year

2nd Dec 2021

(Bloomberg) — At a time when Royal Dutch Shell Plc is moving its headquarters out of the Netherlands, Amsterdam might fear losing some of the momentum that’s made it continental Europe’s pre-eminent stock trading centre.

Shell said on Nov. 15 that as part of a plan to simplify the oil giant’s structure, it will relocate its tax residence to the U.K. and move top executives from The Hague to London. The announcement came a year after Unilever Plc, the Anglo-Dutch owner of household products such as Omo and Lifebuoy soap, also opted to become a solely British company. read more

Dan Loeb swats away activist with heavy hand

December 2, 202112:35 PM GMT

LONDON, Dec 2 (Reuters Breakingviews) – Dan Loeb, the billionaire activist calling for change at Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L), has fended off his own mini-revolt.

Shareholders in Third Point Investors (TPOGu.L), a UK-listed trust that owns a stake in Loeb’s main fund, roundly rejected a move by uppity shareholder Asset Value Investors to throw a Third Point employee, Josh Targoff, off the board.

Loeb’s victory is clear. Votes against the proposal numbered 30 million, versus just 9 million for it. read more

Project Fear exposed: Four major warnings Remainers got wrong – as Shell relocates to UK

BREXIT BRITAIN’S latest victory will see oil giant Shell relocate its headquarters to the UK has fuelled new Frexit calls, with a leading campaigner insisting it once again proves how Project Fear was “wrong on everything”.

By PAUL WITHERS: 07:30, Sun, Nov 28, 2021 | UPDATED: 08:51, Sun, Nov 28, 2021

In a huge win for Brexit Britain, Royal Dutch Shell is scrapping its dual share structure and moving its head office to the UK from the Netherlands. The company is dropping “Royal Dutch” from its name – part of its identity since 1907 – to become Shell Plc. The firm has been at the centre of a bitter row with Dutch authorities over the country’s 15 percent dividend withholding tax on some of its shares, which makes them less attractive for investors. read more

Shell’s departure deals blow to Dutch pro-business credentials

25 Nov 2021

Stef Blok had an unenviable task for any economy minister last week: explaining how his country was about to lose one of its most high-profile multinational companies.

The decision by oil and gas group Royal Dutch Shell to end its dual corporate structure and move its tax base to the UK, after being in the Netherlands for more than a century, was a “sensitive loss” for the country, Blok told the Dutch parliament. It is particularly embarrassing for the pro-business caretaker government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte. read more

Shell Launches Shareholder Talks to Win Backing for HQ Move, Sources Say

By Reuters: Nov. 23, 2021, at 5:53 a.m.

LONDON (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell has launched talks with investors to secure support for its plan to relocate its headquarters from the Netherlands to Britain, sources said, as a leading advisory recommended backing the move at a December vote.

Shell said this month it would scrap its dual Anglo-Dutch share structure and move its head office to London from The Hague due to the Dutch tax system and after a court ruling over its strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The company also plans to move its tax residence to Britain and drop “Royal Dutch” from its name – part of its identity since 1907 – to become Shell Plc. read more
