Shell to Proceed With Share Simplification; Will Change Name in January
Royal Dutch Shell PLC said Monday that it has decided to proceed with simplifying its share structure, shifting its tax residence to the U.K., and it will change its name to Shell PLC in January.
The energy company said it expects to change its name in the week beginning Jan. 24.
Shareholders in the company approved the amendment of the group’s articles of association on Dec. 10, after Shell proposed in November to collapse its current dual-share class and move its tax residency to the U.K. from the Netherlands.
