Shell plc (the ‘Company’) announced the commencement of up to $8.5 billion of share buybacks on February 3, 2022 for the first half of 2022. This comprises the remaining $5.5 billion of Permian divestment proceeds and $3.0 billion as part of the company’s capital allocation framework, which includes shareholder distributions in the range of 20-30% of cash flow from operations. In the first tranche of this buyback programme (the ‘initial programme’), the company has entered into an irrevocable, non-discretionary arrangement with a broker to enable the purchase of ordinary shares for a period up to and including May 4, 2022. The aggregate maximum consideration for the purchase of ordinary shares under the initial programme is $4.0 billion. All shares repurchased as part of this arrangement will be cancelled.
The maximum number of ordinary shares which may be purchased by the company under this arrangement is 622,094,828, which is the maximum pursuant to the authority granted by shareholders at the company's 2021 Annual General Meeting less the number of ordinary shares that were repurchased by the company pursuant to the share buyback programme announced on July 29, 2021 and December 2, 2021.
