LONDON, May 5 (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L) is facing the risk of a shareholder revolt over pay for the second successive year, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
Two influential investor advisory groups have raised concerns about Shell’s plans to ask its investors to approve the board’s decision to make a discretionary performance-based award of shares to executive directors, the paper said.
The groups were said to believe that Shell had failed to meet its set targets, by being ranked fourth among its peer group of international oil companies.
Shell argues it only just came fourth, the paper said.
“It is excessive application of discretion,” the paper quoted a voting adviser as saying.
The value of the award was not disclosed, the paper said.
The FT said advisory group RiskMetrics has recommended a vote against Shell’s remuneration report at its annual meeting on May 19.

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.
