a wholly owned subsidiary of Shell USA, Inc., that comprises Shell’s United States("
U.S.") lubricants business, has completed the [previously announced sale](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4723373-1&h=2725749978&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.shell.com%2Fnews-and-insights%2Fnewsroom%2Fnews-and-media-releases%2F2026%2Fshell-to-sell-jiffy-lube-international-and-premium-velocity-auto-to-monomy-capital-partners.html&a=previously+announced+sale)
of Jiffy Lube International (JLI) and its subsidiary Premium Velocity Auto (PVA)
LLC business to an affiliate of Monomoy Capital Partners (Monomoy) for $1.3 billion.

The sale includes the Jiffy Lube brand and a network of franchised stores which 
are owned and operated by independent franchisees, in addition to franchised stores
that are owned and operated by PVA. Shell has retained its Pennzoil Quaker State,
Rotella and other Shell Lubricants brands, along with marketing, manufacturing and
distribution of lubricants in the U.S. and Canada that serve consumer, commercial
and industrial sectors. As part of the transaction, Pennzoil Quaker State Company
retains a long-term lubricants supply agreement with Monomoy.

The divestment supports ongoing portfolio high-grading by monetising a non-core 
Lubricants asset.

reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors that may affect 
future results are contained in Shell plc’s Form 20-F for the year ended December
31, 2025 (available at [www.shell.com/investors/news-and-filings/sec-filings.html](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4723373-1&h=1724002923&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.shell.com%2Finvestors%2Fnews-and-filings%2Fsec-filings.html&a=www.shell.com%2Finvestors%2Fnews-and-filings%2Fsec-filings.html)
and [www.sec.gov](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4723373-1&h=3152179089&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sec.gov%2F&a=www.sec.gov)).
These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained
in this press release and should be considered by the reader.  Each forward-looking
statement speaks only as of the date of this press release, July 1, 2026. Neither
Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update
or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events
or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from
those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained 
in this press release.

**Shell’s net carbon intensityAlso, in this press release we may refer to Shell’s"
net carbon intensity" (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production
of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for 
that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of
the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated 
with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases
for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s "
net carbon intensity" or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest
these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

**Shell’s net-zero emissions targetShell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted
for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every
year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect
to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our 
combined Scope 1 and 2 target, NCI target and our oil products ambition over the
next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050
net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future
operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency 
improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the
future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating
plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero
in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this
target.

**Forward-Looking non-GAAP measuresThis press release may contain certain forward-
looking non-GAAP measures such as free cash flow and underlying operating expenses.
We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures
to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed
to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures
is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such
as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such
GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation
is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort.
Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the
most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent
with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.

The contents of websites referred to in this press release do not form part of this
press release.

We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this press release that the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from
including in our filings with the SEC.  Investors are urged to consider closely 
the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website [www.sec.gov](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4723373-1&h=234202775&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sec.gov%2F&a=www.sec.gov).
