Shell plc Announces Pause in Share Buyback Programme

Shell plc announced on June 12, 2026, the temporary suspension of its previously announced $3.0 billion share buyback programme. The suspension is effective from June 12, 2026, up to and including July 14, 2026, due to securities law requirements related to the ARC Resources Ltd. shareholder circular and upcoming shareholder meeting. Any buybacks not completed during this period will be considered for future 2026 programmes, subject to Board approval. The company will provide further updates if the suspension extends beyond the specified dates. The filing also includes standard cautionary notes regarding forward-looking statements, Shell's net carbon intensity, net-zero emissions target, and non-GAAP measures, emphasizing that actual results may differ materially from projections due to various risks and uncertainties.
