London Evening Standard: Shell signals big shake-up
14 July 2004
SHELL has hired investment banks Citigroup and NM Rothschild to advise a structural review chaired by ex-diplomat Lord Kerr.
That gives a boost to hopes that the Anglo-Dutch group is readying itself for radical action, even a merger of its two companies.
Royal Dutch Shell, quoted in the Netherlands, is 60% of the group, London-quoted Shell Transport 40%.
The most radical solution would be a merger. But a Royal Dutch takeover of Shell Transport, which is valued at £39bn, could trigger horrendous tax bills. A nil-premium merger might be a better answer.
The group restated its first-quarter earnings upward by $226m (£122m) to $4.7bn (£2.5bn) to reflect the accounting and reserve changes announced in May.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
