WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will begin distributing about $113.5 million to some 84,000 investors Friday stemming from a 2004 settlement with Royal Dutch/Shell Group after it was accused of overstating its oil reserves.
A federal court approved the distribution plan earlier this week. The “Fair Fund” made interim distributions of about $4.2 million last year.
The SEC has set up a Web site, a toll-free number, and an e-mail account to handle questions about payments from the settlement. Investors who bought Royal Dutch or Shell common stock between April 8, 1999, and March 17, 2004 are potentially eligible for payments, according to the SEC Web site.
Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA) merged with Shell Transport and Trading Co. in 2005. The firm was accused of overstating reserves by 4.47 billion barrels – or 23%.
Information about the distribution, including toll-free numbers for 11 countries, can be found at www.ShellSECSettlement.com. Investors in the U.S. may contact the distribution agent by telephone at 1-866-446-3412 or by e-mail at [email protected].

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.
