AMSTERDAM, July 23 (Reuters) – Anglo-Dutch oil major Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) (RDSa.AS) units paid an extra 2 billion euros into the company’s Dutch pension fund in the second quarter of 2009, the fund has said on its Web site.
The fund said in a newsletter posted online this week that its funding ratio had increased to 105 percent as of June 30 in part due to these payments.
The payments are part of a package of measures introduced to return the funding ratio — which measures assets against liabilities — to a minimum level of 105 percent within three years, the fund said.
It said Shell will make additional payments on a quarterly basis for a maximum of ten quarters if the funding ratio drops below 105 percent again.
Shell said earlier this year it would need to increase contributions to its pension funds, after turmoil in financial markets decreased the value of their assets.

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.
