THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: Shareholders in last-ditch fight with Shell
12 June 2005

Apcims has received more than 300 calls and letters from angry shareholders since it emerged two weeks ago that they would be saddled with huge CGT bills when the
planned merger of Royal Dutch and Shell Transport & Trading goes ahead on July 20.
