LONDON — The Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies said Thursday that it has reached agreements in principle with the United Kingdom’s Financial Services Authority and the staff of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to resolve their pending inquiries related to Shell’s reserves recategorisation.
In connection with the agreement in principle with the FSA, Shell will agree, without admitting or denying the FSA’s findings or conclusions, to the entry of a Final Notice by the FSA finding that Shell breached market abuse provisions of the UK’s Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and the Listing Rules made under it.
In connection with the proposed settlement, Shell will pay a penalty of GBP17 million, the company said.
In connection with the agreement in principle with the SEC staff, Shell will consent, without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings or conclusions, to an administrative order finding that Shell violated, and requiring Shell to cease and desist from future violations of, the antifraud, reporting, recordkeeping and internal control provisions of the U.S. Federal securities laws and related SEC rules.
In connection with the proposed settlement, Shell will pay a $120 million civil penalty and has undertaken to spend an additional $5 million developing a comprehensive internal compliance program. The agreement in principle with the SEC staff is subject to final approval by the SEC, Shell said.
No further details respecting the proposed settlements will be released at this time.

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.
