    Washington, D.C.—U.S. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) delivered the following remarks at a hearing to consider Bryan Switzer to be a Deputy United States Trade Representative (USTR), Gustav Chiarello III to be an Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Michael Stuart to be General Counsel of HHS and Derek Theurer to be a Deputy Under Secretary of the Treasury.

    As prepared for delivery:

    “This meeting will come to order. Thank you to our nominees, Mr. Switzer, Mr. Chiarello, Mr. Stuart and Mr. Theurer for being here today. Congratulations on your nominations and thank you all for your willingness to serve.

    “We will first hear from Rick Switzer, who is nominated to serve as the Deputy United States Trade Representative (USTR) for Asia, Textiles, Investment, Services and Intellectual Property.

    “Mr. Switzer has over 25 years of experience advancing U.S. strategic interests both domestically and internationally. Throughout his career as a Foreign Service Officer at the Department of State, he negotiated international agreements, expanded market access for U.S. businesses, and protected American firms from unfair trade practices such as intellectual property theft and forced technology transfer. I look forward to working with him, if confirmed, to ensure that USTR implements policies that promote U.S. competitiveness, build supply chain resilience and address emerging global challenges.

    “Next, we will hear from Gus Chiarello, who is nominated to serve as the Assistant Secretary for Financial Resources (ASFR) at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

    “The ASFR is responsible for providing advice and guidance to the Secretary on all aspects of budget, financial management, acquisition policy and grants supervision. If confirmed, Mr. Chiarello would play a vital role in managing and overseeing the allocation of resources across the full range of HHS programs. His experience in consumer protection, regulatory reform, competition and antitrust issues will make him a valuable addition to the HHS team. As an attorney who served at both the Federal Trade Commission and with the House Judiciary Committee, he is prepared to ensure HHS resources are stewarded to benefit all Americans.

    “We will also hear from Mike Stuart, who is nominated to serve as General Counsel of HHS.

    “The General Counsel supports the development and implementation of the Department’s programs by providing the highest quality legal services to the Secretary and the organization’s various agencies and divisions. Mr. Stuart will be instrumental in making sure that new laws and regulations are effectively implemented at HHS. He is well suited for the position given his decades of legal experience, including previous service as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia. His experience prosecuting cases related to the opioid crisis and Medicaid fraud demonstrates a strong commitment to protect patients and root out waste and abuse in health care systems.

    “Finally, we will hear from Derek Theurer, who is nominated to serve as Deputy Under Secretary for Legislative Affairs at the Treasury Department.

    “The Deputy Under Secretary is responsible for advising the Secretary on congressional relations matters in order to assist in the formulation of policy and to determine the overall direction of the Department. Mr. Theurer is a veteran of Capitol Hill and undoubtedly understands the importance of keeping Congress informed of Departmental actions. Given his experience, I also expect him to prioritize timeliness in responding to inquiries from Congress.

    “Thank you again to our nominees for their time today.”

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: In Myanmar, conflict and floods collide as UN warns of deepening crisis

    Source: United Nations 4

    Farhan Haq, UN Deputy Spokesperson, stressed the need for unimpeded relief operations and a peaceful path out of crisis.

    “The UN remains concerned by ongoing violence in Myanmar, including aerial bombardment hitting civilians and civilian infrastructure,” he said, at the regular press briefing in New York.

    “Civilians and humanitarian workers must be protected.”

    His remarks come as monsoon rains and flooding – worsened by Cyclone Wipha – swept through parts of the country, further straining regions already destabilized by conflict and a devastating earthquake in March.

    Millions forced to flee

    The crisis left more than 3.3 million people internally displaced, with another 182,000 seeking refuge abroad since the military coup in February 2021, according to the latest UN figures. In addition, over 1.2 million – mostly members of the minority Muslim Rohingya community – were forced to flee the country, driven by waves of violence.

    The largest exodus took place in August 2017, when nearly one million Rohingya fled brutal violence and attacks by security forces, likened to a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing” by then UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein.

    Disasters and fighting has forced millions across Myanmar to flee their homes in search of safety. Many shelter in IDP camps like this one in central Myanmar.

    Floods, landslides upend lives

    In the flood-affected areas of Bago, Kayin and Mon states, more than 85,000 people have been affected, with homes destroyed, roads cut off and emergency services overstretched.

    Relief partners report significant shortages of food, safe drinking water and medical supplies. In Taungoo district (Bago) alone, three flood-related deaths have been confirmed, while six more people reportedly died in a landslide in Shan state.

    The pathway out of the deteriorating situation in Myanmar requires an end to the violence 
    – UN spokesperson Farhan Haq

    “The pathway out of the deteriorating situation in Myanmar requires an end to the violence and unimpeded access for relief workers and supplies,” Mr. Haq stressed, noting that health systems are also under acute strain.

    Disease outbreaks rising

    A humanitarian bulletin from the World Health Organization (WHO)-led Health Cluster warns that floodwaters are driving spikes in acute watery diarrhoea, dengue and malaria.

    There are deep concerns over outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases like measles, and polio is increasing due to low immunization rates and poor hygiene conditions in overcrowded camps.

    WHO has verified 27 attacks on healthcare facilities so far this year, with other monitoring groups reporting over 140 additional incidents.

    Meanwhile, severe funding shortages – exacerbated by cuts in United States funding – have forced the suspension of services at 65 health facilities and 38 mobile clinics across Myanmar. Services at a further 28 mobile clinics have been scaled down.

    Elections under military cannot be credible

    The political context remains grim. Since the February 2021 military coup, which overthrew the elected government and imprisoned top leaders including State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar has seen a steady escalation of armed conflict and repression.

    The junta’s plans to hold elections have drawn deep concern, including from the UN.

    “The Secretary-General reiterates his concern over the military’s plan to hold elections amid ongoing conflict and human rights violations, and without conditions that would permit the people of Myanmar to freely and peacefully exercise their political rights,” said Mr. Haq.

    He recalled Security Council Resolution 2669, adopted in 2022, which called for the immediate release of all arbitrarily detained prisoners, including President Win Myint and Aung San Suu Kyi; upholding democratic institutions and processes; and pursuing in constructive dialogue and reconciliation in accordance with the will and interests of the people of Myanmar.

    Commitment to stay and deliver

    Despite the volatility and access constraints, UN agencies remain committed to reaching affected populations.

    As of July, nearly 306,000 people had received health services in 59 earthquake-hit townships – just 67 per cent of the target population, reflecting the limited funding and security challenges faced by aid workers.

    “The United Nations is committed to staying and delivering in Myanmar,” Mr. Haq affirmed, “and to working with all stakeholders, including ASEAN and other regional actors, to attain sustainable peace.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: Cortez Masto Calls on Trump Administration to Increase Transparency on Trade Negotiations

    Following Announcement of Recent Trade Agreement, Indonesian Authorities Have Publicly Disputed Announced Agreements

    Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) sent a letter to U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer calling on the Trump Administration to provide more transparency to Congress on their trade negotiations with other nations, in light of recent reporting showing that a trade agreement announced with Indonesia has been publicly disputed by Indonesian authorities. Her letter comes one day before President Trump’s tariffs on other nations are scheduled to go into effect.

    In a recent statement, the White House has asserted that Indonesia had committed to lifting its ban on nickel exports. “However, Indonesian officials are now saying that they made no such commitment,” the Senator wrote. “Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister of Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, has said that the U.S.-Indonesia agreement does not touch Indonesia’s export restrictions and that ‘nothing will be removed.’ Similarly, Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources – which oversees Indonesia’s mining sector – has confirmed that Indonesia will not export raw minerals to the United States and that there are no directives or policy revisions permitting such exports to the United States. Key industry groups in Indonesia – like the Indonesia Mining Association – are also unaware of any forthcoming changes to the country’s export ban, and continue to tout the success of this policy.”

    “As we look ahead, I strongly urge you to adopt greater transparency and Congressional consultation in your negotiations. Indonesia’s export ban policy is not only an important economic issue impacting U.S. firms, but given Chinese investment in Indonesia’s nickel sector, it has national security implications for our country. I stand ready to work with you to ensure real commitments and real enforceability in our trade agreements, and encourage you to adopt a more effective and transparent approach in your negotiations,” the Senator concluded.  

    Read the full letter here.

    Senator Cortez Masto has continued to push the Trump Administration to address the impacts of Trump’s tariffs on working families and Nevada small businesses. During a Senate Finance Committee hearing, Cortez Masto pressed USTR Greer about the impacts of President Trump’s blanket tariffs on Nevadans, particularly those employed in the tourism and hospitality industry. The Senator introduced the Tariff Transparency Act to require the U.S. International Trade Commission to publicly investigate how Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada would impact the American people.

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Federated Farmers back Government health & safety review

    Source: Federated Farmers

    Federated Farmers is backing moves to review health and safety rules for farmers, saying it’s unfortunate some seem to have completely misunderstood the Minister’s announcement.
    “Taking a closer look at these rules is really important, so it’s disappointing a lot of people have gotten the wrong end of the stick,” Federated Farmers president Wayne Langford says.
    “The Government aren’t trying to add layers of bureaucracy or wrap farm kids up in cotton wool. They’re actually trying to do the exact opposite of what’s been portrayed in the media so far.
    “This is all about making sure health and safety rules are practical, common sense, and easy to understand – and Federated Farmers absolutely welcome that conversation.”
    Langford says the current health and safety rules for farmers have gone way too far and are unnecessarily confusing for smaller family-owned farming operations.
    “We’re talking about small mum and dad type businesses which might only employ one or two staff members. They’re certainly not big corporates with a health and safety manager on staff.
    “They’re hands-on farmers who actually spend their days farming rather than sitting in an office. That’s why it’s so important these rules are practical and easy to understand.”
    He says confusion about health and safety obligations has meant some farmers no longer allow children on the farm like they would have in the past, for fear of falling foul of the law.
    “There’s something very special about growing up on a farm and having that classic rural childhood many farmers enjoyed themselves,” Langford says.
    “That’s the childhood I had, and my own kids have had something similar, but I think we’re at risk of losing that kind of upbringing if we don’t get these rules right.”
    Langford says preserving that traditional rural Kiwi upbringing, while still keeping kids safe, is exactly what Minister Brooke van Velden is trying to achieve.
    “I think it’s unfortunate the Minister’s examples were things like collecting eggs and watering plants – because that’s not really what we’re talking about here.
    “The fact those are the talking points the Minister was provided with by bureaucrats tells you everything you need to know about why we need to get Wellington out of farming.
    “In reality, we’re talking about things like feeding calves, shifting stock, or helping mum and dad hose down the shed after milking – perfectly safe everyday farming activities.”
    Federated Farmers 100% backs what the Minister has announced and look forward to engaging in the consultation process.

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Mining positivity internationally recognised

    Source: New Zealand Minerals Council

    Today’s passing of the Crown Minerals Amendment Act is the cherry on top of a great week for mining, says New Zealand Minerals Council chief executive Josie Vidal.
    “To make the most of international interest in mining in New Zealand, untap the potential of critical minerals, and make a greater contribution to jobs, exports and the economy, we need enabling legislation such as the Crown Minerals Amendment Act,” Vidal says.
    “One of the significant aspects of this law for us, is that the emphasis on promoting mining goes back into the purpose statement of the Act. This is important because it shows the world that the New Zealand Government understands the value of our mining industry and that gives export markets and investors confidence.
    “The positivity around mining has been reflected in the respected international analysis of policy and investment attractiveness in 82 mining jurisdictions globally by the Fraser Institute in its Annual Survey of Mining Companies, 2024, released this week.
    “After languishing near the bottom of rankings for too many years, due to uncertainty about the environment for mining, New Zealand has made a massive leap and is now ranked higher than any Australian jurisdiction on the Investment Attractiveness Index – at 12th of 82, compared with 43rd of 86 in 2023 – and 15th of 82 on the Policy Perception Index, compared with 50th of 86 in 2023.
    “This week we also hosted an event to discuss science in the sector, and it was heartening to see the buzz around the critical minerals the world needs and what is available in New Zealand, and how we can add value and be part of the global supply chain.
    “Professor Chris Bumby, Chief Scientist (Materials) at the Robinson Research Institute within Victoria University of Wellington spoke about the potential for value-add processing of New Zealand’s critical mineral resources. He pointed out why metals production matters – ‘today’s world is built from metals and tomorrow’s world will require a whole bunch more’, he said.
    “He highlighted New Zealand opportunities included critical minerals vanadium, titanium, zirconium, tungsten, and antinomy, among others, and the value New Zealand minerals bring to the world’s steel production.
    “New Zealand science and research stands out globally and Science, Innovation and Technology Minister Shane Reti also spoke about the work the Government is doing to further enable science and technology to advance our country in a rapidly changing high-tech world.
    “There is so much exciting work happening in our minerals industry and it is important to have enabling laws that back our claims that New Zealand is open for business, and that the Fast-track Approvals Act is allowed to work as it is intended and is not derailed by vexatious detractors,” Vidal says.

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Crown Minerals Amendment Bill a Step in the Right Direction

    Source: Energy Resources Aotearoa

    Energy Resources Aotearoa welcomes the passage of the Crown Minerals Amendment Bill into law, describing it as an important contribution to restoring investment confidence and strengthening New Zealand’s energy security.
    The Bill reverses the 2018 ban on new petroleum permits, restores the promotional purpose of the Act, provides greater flexibility in how petroleum permits are allocated, and recalibrates the decommissioning rules while retaining suitable safeguards.
    Energy Resources Aotearoa Chief Executive John Carnegie says the legislation goes some way towards rebuilding the confidence to invest in New Zealand’s petroleum sector, which is essential for backing up the country’s renewable electricity system, especially during periods of low hydro inflows and peak winter demand.
    “This Bill reverses policy that has done real damage to New Zealand’s long-term energy security, our economic resilience, and our reputation as a place to invest.
    Energy prices tell this story. Without a secure domestic gas supply, the alternative is greater reliance on emissions-intensive imports – most likely from coal.
    To meet our growing energy needs, we must make better use of the resources beneath our feet to enhance economic, social, and environmental resilience.”
    Carnegie acknowledged the Government’s willingness to engage with the sector throughout these changes.
    “We appreciate the time Minister Jones and officials have taken to listen to industry concerns and understand the on-the-ground realities. That engagement is reflected in final legislation, which is more workable for our sector.”
    Carnegie says the changes are a pragmatic step forward, but more will be needed to achieve the Government’s objectives of restoring investor confidence and revitalising the sector.
    “Securing New Zealand’s energy future will require a system firing on all cylinders – which means backing technologies like carbon capture and ensuring all energy options remain on the table, including hydrogen, green gas, biomass, and large-scale renewable generation.
    This new Act is an important part of the puzzle, but to attract the kind of long-term investment New Zealand needs, there must be durable, predictable policy settings that survive beyond election cycles.”
    Carnegie says energy policy shouldn’t be treated as a political football.
    “The stakes are too high, and it’s ordinary Kiwis who end up paying the price when supply is unnecessarily constrained or uncertain.
    Today’s reform is a big step in the right direction. Now we need to build on it with consistent policy and a clear long-term plan for how domestic natural gas will help deliver affordable, secure energy and economic growth.”

    Market Environment

    Europe

    Equity trading volumes in the quarter across major exchanges saw low double-digit percentage point increases when compared to the same period a year ago, but declined slightly compared to the first quarter. Market volatility increased by mid double-digit percentage points when compared to both the same period a year ago and low double-digits compared to the first quarter. However, a substantial portion of the increase in market activity, in terms of both volume and volatility, was seen in the first half of April, with activity returning to more normal levels in May and June.

    Within Fixed Income, market trading volumes increased compared to the same period a year ago but declined when compared to the first quarter.

    Americas

    Equity trading volumes in the U.S. increased by low double-digit percentage points when compared to the same period a year ago, and high single-digits to low double-digits when compared to the first quarter. Market volatility increased by high double-digit percentage points year-on-year and low double-digits quarter-on-quarter.

    Within Fixed Income, market trading volumes increased slightly when compared to the same period a year ago, but declined slightly when compared to the first quarter. Market volatility was relatively flat both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.

    Asia

    Equity trading volumes in Asia were mixed as Hong Kong and China saw significant increases when compared to the same period a year ago, but slight declines when compared to the first quarter, while Japan saw slight increases both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter. Market volatility increased in Hong Kong and China when compared to the same period a year ago and was relatively flat when compared to the first quarter. Japan saw an increase in volatility both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.

    Digital Assets

    Within Digital Assets, which trades across regions on a 24/7 basis, trading volumes in cryptocurrencies saw a slight increase when compared to the same period a year ago but a meaningful decline when compared to the first quarter. Volatility decreased meaningfully both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.

    Outlook

    Fixed operating expenses guidance for the year remains unchanged and is expected to be in the range of €190-210m given additional technology investments and targeted additions of subject matter experts in growth areas, partially offset by expected operational efficiency gains.

    CEO Statement

    Mike Kuehnel, CEO
    “Flow Traders posted another strong set of results in the second quarter, delivering the fourth straight quarter of triple-digit NTI for the first time in the Company’s history. In addition, the fifth triple-digit NTI quarter in the last six quarters serves as strong validation of our growth and diversification strategy. The Company was able to deliver solid results through periods of mostly below average market volatility throughout most of 2024 with strong contributions from Digital Assets. We then had strong contributions from Asia in the second half of 2024, and now from Europe and the Americas in the first half of 2025. We continue to reap the rewards of our eight-year investment into Digital Assets as it has proven to be a dependable countercyclical offset to the traditional asset classes.

    The second quarter saw a sharp increase in volatility in traditional asset classes, particularly in Equity, after nearly two years of relatively muted activity. While the rebound in volumes and volatility we saw in early April was not nearly as extreme and was relatively short-lived when compared to COVID, we were able to leverage the additional profits retained as part of the Trading Capital Expansion Plan. We were able to capture the opportunities that arose and record one of the best months ever in the Company’s history. The return of market activity on the back of continued record ETP fund inflows around the world drove improved performance across all regions, particularly in the Americas and Asia. We are especially excited about the significant opportunity in China, where trading volumes have doubled vs. a year ago and is now two-to-three times the volumes seen in Europe.

    In Digital Assets, trading volumes declined quarter-on-quarter as traditional asset classes garnered more attention given the tariff news headlines. Nevertheless, we continue to see positive sentiment shifts as institutional interests grow amidst a more conducive regulatory environment. The ecosystem around digital assets continues to expand, as evidenced by a raft of digital asset-related IPOs. We are particularly excited about the regulatory approval of AllUnity, our partnership with DWS and Galaxy Digital, which will launch a MiCAR-compliant Euro-denominated stablecoin later this year. As one of the earliest adopters of digital assets, Flow Traders remains instrumental in providing liquidity to this asset class and helping to expand the ecosystem.

    Looking forward, I am proud of what we have achieved at Flow Traders over my tenure. The Company remains committed to enhancing its trading capabilities by strategically investing in cutting-edge technology and talent. The strong return on trading capital over the last 12 months validates the strategic decision taken last July to retain more profits to reinvest back into the business. I’m certain that the combination of improving and expanding the Company’s trading capabilities and growing the trading capital base will undoubtedly accelerate the growth of Flow Traders in the years to come.”

    31 07 2025 – Media release

    Top (L-R): Tamara Asmar, Anna Barnes and Sarah Bassiuoni.Bottom (L-R): Glen Dolman, Michelle Offen, Jessica Tuckwell and Monica Zanetti.
    Screen Australia and the Australian Writers’ Guild (AWG) have announced the seven participants selected for The Creators 2025, a dynamic career acceleration program for high-calibre Australian screenwriters.
    The seven participants in The Creators program are:

    Tamara Asmar (NCIS: Sydney, Love Me, In Limbo)
    Anna Barnes (Safe Home, The Twelve, Content)
    Sarah Bassiuoni (Critical Incident, House of Gods, The Secrets She Keeps)
    Glen Dolman (Bloom, I Met A Girl, The Bill)
    Michelle Offen (East West 101, Hyde & Seek, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries)
    Jessica Tuckwell (Bump, Fake, Year Of)
    Monica Zanetti (While the Men Are Away, Ellie & Abby (& Ellie’s Dead Aunt), Iggy & Ace)

    Building on the success of years one and two, this third year will provide participants with high-level showrunner training, project and pitching development, equipping them to sell their stories in both domestic and international markets. 
    The program will be led by Emmy Award-winner Jeff Melvoin (Northern Exposure, Killing Eve, Designated Survivor), founder and Chair of the Writers Guild of America’s highly competitive Showrunner Training Program, who will travel to Sydney in October to deliver bespoke WGA-style training.
    Screen Australia Head of Development Bobby Romia said, “The Creators provides a unique opportunity for Australian screenwriters to hone their craft, build important connections and develop their distinctive projects setting them up for success here and abroad. We’re proud of this partnership and can’t wait to see what this talented cohort achieve.”
    AWG President Peter Mattessi said, “The Australian Writers’ Guild is thrilled to support a third cohort of screenwriters developing their craft through The Creators. This program continues to deliver outstanding outcomes for writers who are ready to take the next step in their careers as showrunners, empowering them to become creative powerhouses and leaders in our industry. We’re delighted to work in partnership with Screen Australia and Scripted Ink, and thank them for their continued support of writers as key creatives in the screen industry.”
    Scripted Ink’s Shane Brennan said, “Just as the WGA showrunner training program is highly sought after in the US, we’re proud that the Creators has firmly established itself as the premier career initiative for Australian screenwriters. A writer’s vision and the craft of storytelling are at the core of commercially successful television, and this program equips our best writers with the skills and understanding necessary to nurture a story through all stages of production.”
    Tamara Asmar said, “The world is in deeply unsettling times, and the power of storytelling to move and inspire audiences is needed more than ever. I’m so grateful to Screen Australia and the AWG for centring Australian writers and providing us with the opportunity to immerse ourselves in this unique program with global industry leaders. Writing is often such a lonely vocation, and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table and watch the evolution of the projects over the week.”
    Anna Barnes said, “The Creators Initiative is a dream opportunity for me to upskill and learn more about the role of the showrunner from both international leaders of our industry and also from this extremely talented group of fellow writers.” 
    Sarah Bassiuoni said, “This program is an incredible opportunity to learn directly from those who’ve shaped some of the most compelling television globally – not just in writing, but in leading projects from concept to completion. As someone passionate about bold, character-driven storytelling, I’m excited to strengthen both my creative and production skills and to bring that knowledge home to help grow a more empowered and diverse Australian screen industry. It’s about making space for voices, leadership, and stories that reflect the full depth of who we are.”
    Glen Dolman said, “As our industry contracts globally and the need for Australian stories to reach a worldwide audience becomes even more critical, this program offers a rare opportunity to connect with fellow writer/producers, share knowledge, and explore best practices — particularly through the lens of the US showrunner model. With the most successful breakout shows internationally led by distinct creative voices who bring both authorship and continuity to a project, I’m thrilled to be part of this group and conversation.”
    Michelle Offen said, “I am absolutely thrilled and grateful for this opportunity. Pathways to upskill as a showrunner in Australia are rare, which makes The Creators so incredibly valuable. Joining this talented cohort, under the tutelage of the renowned Jeff Melvoin, is an experience I will relish.  I look forward to applying lessons learned and sharing the knowledge with co-collaborators and writing teams. Thank you AWG, Scripted Ink and Screen Australia – what a gift.”
    Jessica Tuckwell said, “Thanks to AWG and Screen Australia for the opportunity to investigate leadership within that crucial place where the vision clashes with the realities of production, where the show is really made. We owe audiences the respect of maintaining creative integrity, and part of that is acknowledging that dropping the writer/creator off at the curb when pre-production starts is such an obvious inefficiency; we are a problem-solving asset at every stage of the process.”
    Monica Zanetti said, “I’m so thrilled to be part of the Creators program for 2025. I feel so lucky to have the support of this team as I take the next big step in my career from creator to showrunner.”
    The Creators is supported by industry partner Scripted Ink.

  • MIL-OSI Submissions: The Muslim world has been strong on rhetoric, short on action over Gaza and Afghanistan

    Source: The Conversation – Global Perspectives – By Amin Saikal, Emeritus Professor of Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies, Australian National University; and Vice Chancellor’s Strategic Fellow, Victoria University

    When it comes to dealing with two of the biggest current crises in the Muslim world – the devastation of Gaza and the Taliban’s draconian rule in Afghanistan – Arab and Muslim states have been staggeringly ineffective.

    Their chief body, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), in particular, has been strong on rhetoric but very short on serious, tangible action.

    The OIC, headquartered in Saudi Arabia, is composed of 57 predominantly Muslim states. It is supposed to act as a representative and consultative body and make decisions and recommendations on the major issues that affect Muslims globally. It calls itself the “collective voice of the Muslim world”.

    Yet the body has proved to be toothless in the face of Israel’s relentless assault on Gaza, triggered in response to the Hamas attacks of October 7 2023.

    The OIC has equally failed to act against the Taliban’s reign of terror in the name of Islam in ethnically diverse Afghanistan.

    Many strong statements

    Despite its projection of a united umma (the global Islamic community, as defined in my coauthored book Islam Beyond Borders), the OIC has ignominiously been divided on Gaza and Afghanistan.

    True, it has condemned Israel’s Gaza operations. It’s also called for an immediate, unconditional ceasefire and the delivery of humanitarian aid to the starving population of the strip.

    It has also rejected any Israeli move to depopulate and annex the enclave, as well as the West Bank. These moves would render the two-state solution to the long-running Israeli–Palestinian conflict essentially defunct.

    Further, the OIC has welcomed the recent joint statement by the foreign ministers of 28 countries (including the United Kingdom, many European Union members and Japan) calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, as well as France’s decision to recognise the state of Palestine.

    The OIC is good at putting out statements. However, this approach hasn’t varied much from that of the wider global community. It is largely verbal, and void of any practical measures.

    What the group could do for Gaza

    Surely, Muslim states can and should be doing more.

    For example, the OIC has failed to persuade Israel’s neighbouring states – Egypt and Jordan, in particular – to open their border crossings to allow humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza, the West Bank or Israel, in defiance of Israeli leaders.

    Nor has it been able to compel Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco to suspend their relations with the Jewish state until it agrees to a two-state solution.

    Further, the OIC has not adopted a call by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and the United Nations special rapporteur on Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, for Israel to be suspended from the UN.

    Nor has it urged its oil-rich Arab members, in particular Saudi Arabia and the UAE, to harness their resources to prompt US President Donald Trump to halt the supply of arms to Israel and pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war.

    Stronger action on Afghanistan, too

    In a similar vein, the OIC has failed to exert maximum pressure on the ultra-extremist and erstwhile terrorist Taliban government in Afghanistan.

    Since sweeping back into power in 2021, the Taliban has ruled in a highly repressive, misogynist and draconian fashion in the name of Islam. This is not practised anywhere else in the Muslim world.

    In December 2022, OIC Secretary General Hissein Brahim Taha called for a global campaign to unite Islamic scholars and religious authorities against the Taliban’s decision to ban girls from education.

    But this was superseded a month later, when the OIC expressed concern over the Taliban’s “restrictions on women”, but asked the international community not to “interfere in Afghanistan’s internal affairs”. This was warmly welcomed by the Taliban.

    In effect, the OIC – and therefore most Muslim countries – have adopted no practical measures to penalise the Taliban for its behaviour.

    It has not censured the Taliban nor imposed crippling sanctions on the group. And while no Muslim country has officially recognised the Taliban government (only Russia has), most OIC members have nonetheless engaged with the Taliban at political, economic, financial and trade levels.

    Why is it so divided?

    There are many reasons for the OIC’s ineffectiveness.

    For one, the group is composed of a politically, socially, culturally and economically diverse assortment of members.

    But more importantly, it has not functioned as a “bridge builder” by developing a common strategy of purpose and action that can overcome the geopolitical and sectarian differences of its members.

    In the current polarised international environment, the rivalry among its member states – and with major global powers such as the United States and China – has rendered the organisation a mere talking shop.

    This has allowed extremist governments in both Israel and Afghanistan to act with impunity.

    It is time to look at the OIC’s functionality and determine how it can more effectively unite the umma.

    This may also be an opportunity for its member states to develop an effective common strategy that could help the cause of peace and stability in the Muslim domain and its relations with the outside world.

  • Several areas in Delhi witness rainfall, more rain likely in NCR: IMD

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Several areas in the national capital, including Janpath, Lajpat Nagar, and the Minto Bridge stretch, received rainfall on Thursday morning, a day after intense showers were recorded across the city.

    The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast light to moderate rainfall for parts of Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) during the day. According to the IMD, areas such as Bahadurgarh and Manesar are also likely to witness light thunderstorms accompanied by lightning.

    In a post on X, the IMD said, “Light to moderate rainfall accompanied with light thunderstorm and lightning is very likely to occur at NCR (Bahadurgarh, Manesar). Light rainfall is very likely to occur at the entire Delhi, NCR (Loni Dehat, Hindon AF Station, Ghaziabad, Indirapuram, Chhapraula, Noida, Greater Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, Ballabhgarh). Very light rainfall/drizzle is very likely to occur over the entire Delhi during the next 2 hours.”

    Rainfall data between 8:30 am on Wednesday and 6:30 am on Thursday showed that Salwan Public School in East Delhi recorded 42 mm of rainfall, followed by Pusa in Central Delhi (40 mm), Sports Complex in New Delhi (38 mm), and Safdarjung (34 mm).

    Other locations that received measurable rainfall included Najafgarh (23.5 mm), Pragati Maidan (22.1 mm), KV Narayana (20.5 mm), Lodi Road (18.5 mm), KV Janakpuri (18 mm), and Aya Nagar (13 mm).

    The maximum and minimum temperatures in Delhi are expected to remain between 30 to 32 degrees Celsius and 23 to 25 degrees Celsius, respectively — up to four degrees below the seasonal average.

  • Himachal Pradesh struggles with monsoon havoc: 301 roads blocked, utilities disrupted

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Himachal Pradesh continues to grapple with major disruptions in public utilities due to persistent monsoon rains.

    According to the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC), as of 10:00 AM on July 31, a total of 301 roads remain blocked, 436 power distribution transformers (DTRs) are non-functional, and 254 water supply schemes have been impacted across the state.

    The SEOC report confirmed that heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours is the primary cause behind the widespread breakdown in essential services.

    Mandi district reported the highest number of road blockages with 193 routes shut, followed by Kullu (47) and Chamba (25). Power disruptions were particularly severe in Kullu and Chamba, with 134 and 142 transformers affected, respectively.

    Since the onset of the monsoon on June 20, the total death toll in the state has reached 170—comprising 94 rain-related fatalities and 76 deaths due to road accidents.

    Authorities remain on high alert as key national highways, including NH-21 between Mandi and Kullu, have become impassable due to landslides and flooding. Although restoration efforts are underway, continuous rainfall is hampering recovery operations.

    An earlier SEOC report noted that the monsoon damage has resulted in losses worth over ₹1,59,981 lakh to public and private property. Additionally, 2,743 hectares of crops have been damaged, 680 homes affected, and more than 22,900 livestock lost.

    The State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) continues to coordinate with local administrations to restore essential services and clear roads. However, with further rain in the forecast, residents have been urged to stay cautious and avoid travel to vulnerable areas.

    Disaster response teams have been deployed in sensitive zones to carry out rescue and relief operations.

    Kullu district alone has reported losses exceeding ₹48 crore since the start of the monsoon season, with 17 deaths recorded, Deputy Commissioner Torul S. Raveesh said.

    John Evans, Chief Executive Officer, said:

    Subsea7 delivered strong growth in profitability in the second quarter of 2025 driven by the solid execution of our portfolio of projects in both Subsea and Conventional, and Renewables. The Group’s Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 370 bps year-on-year to 20.5% in the quarter, putting us on track to achieve our full year guidance and deliver over 20% growth in EBITDA in 2025 compared with 2024.

    During the quarter we replenished the backlog with high-quality orders of $2.5 billion, equivalent to 1.4 times book-to-bill, demonstrating the resilience of our strategy that is focused on long-cycle subsea markets with advantaged economics, alongside a selective approach to offshore wind. In subsea, tendering activity remains high, with a balance of greenfield and tie-back prospects for a diverse range of clients and geographies. In the renewables industry, near-term momentum is dependent on progress of the UK CFD allocation round, but offshore wind remains a long-term structural growth market and we are confident that our selective approach to bidding leaves us well-placed to deliver profitable growth.

    Second quarter project review
    In Subsea and Conventional, Seven Arctic and Seven Borealis installed flexibles, umbilicals and manifolds at Agogo in Angola. Seven Pacific underwent a class survey after which it transited to Angola where it is expected to work on Agogo until year end. Seven Vega was active at the CLOV development, also in Angola. 

    Seven Oceans and Seven Seas continued to work on a range of US projects including Sunspear, Salamanca and Shenandoah, while in Brazil, Seven Cruzeiro completed its work at Bacalhau and began its new three-year charter for Petrobras.

    In Norway, Seven Navica continued reel lay activities for Yggdrasil as well as IRPA while Seven Oceanic began its transit north, following completion of its campaign at the Scarborough field in Australia.  

    In Renewables, Seaway Strashnov and Seaway Alfa Lift started work at Dogger Bank C in the UK where they will install 87 monopiles. Seaway Ventus began work at the East Anglia THREE project in the UK, where it will install 95 monopiles and Seaway Aimery and Seaway Moxie installed cables at He Dreiht in Germany.

    Second quarter financial review
    Revenue was $1.8 billion, marginally better when compared with the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA of $360 million equated to a margin of 20.5%, up from 16.8% in Q2 2024.

    After depreciation and amortisation of $175 million, other gains and losses of $32 million driven by non-cash foreign exchange gains, net finance costs of $16 million and taxation of $71 million, net income was $131 million.

    Net cash generated from operating activities in the second quarter was $339 million, including a $59 million favourable movement in net working capital. Net cash used in investing activities was $81 million mainly related to purchases of property, plant and equipment. Net cash used in financing activities was $306 million including dividend payments of $184 million and lease payments of $77 million. During the quarter, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $46 million to $413 million and, at 30 June 2025, net debt was $695 million, including lease liabilities of $448 million.

    Second quarter order intake was $2.5 billion comprising new awards of $2.0 billion and escalations of $0.5 billion resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.4 times. Backlog at the end of June was $11.8 billion, of which $3.6 billion is expected to be executed in the remainder of 2025, $4.5 billion in 2026 and $3.7 billion in 2027 and beyond.

    Guidance

    We continue to anticipate that revenue in 2025 will be between $6.8 billion and $7.2 billion, while the Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be within a range from 18% to 20%. Based on our firm backlog of contracts and the prospects in our tendering pipeline, we expect margins to exceed 20% in 2026.

    1.Q2 on Q1 change

    Quarter Analysis1

    Income attributable to Shell plc shareholders, compared with the first quarter 2025, reflected lower trading and optimisation margins and lower realised liquids and gas prices, partly offset by higher Marketing margins and lower operating expenses.

    Second quarter 2025 income attributable to Shell plc shareholders also included impairment charges, gains on disposal of assets and favourable movements due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives. These items are included in identified items amounting to a net loss of $0.3 billion in the quarter. This compares with identified items in the first quarter 2025 which amounted to a net loss of $0.8 billion.

    Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA2 were driven by the same factors as income attributable to Shell plc shareholders and adjusted for the above identified items and the cost of supplies adjustment of $0.3 billion.

    Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter 2025 was $11.9 billion and primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA. This inflow was partly offset by tax payments of $3.4 billion.

    Cash flow from investing activities for the second quarter 2025 was an outflow of $5.4 billion, and included cash capital expenditure of $5.8 billion. This outflow was partly offset by interest received of $0.5 billion.

    Net debt and Gearing: At the end of the second quarter 2025, net debt was $43.2 billion, compared with $41.5 billion at the end of the first quarter 2025. This reflects free cash flow of $6.5 billion, more than offset by share buybacks of $3.5 billion, cash dividends paid to Shell plc shareholders of $2.1 billion, lease additions of $1.4 billion and interest payments of $1.2 billion. Gearing was 19.1% at the end of the second quarter 2025, compared with 18.7% at the end of the first quarter 2025, mainly driven by higher net debt.

    Shareholder distributions

    Total shareholder distributions in the quarter amounted to $5.7 billion comprising repurchases of shares of $3.5 billion and cash dividends paid to Shell plc shareholders of $2.1 billion. Dividends to be paid to Shell plc shareholders for the

    SHELL PLC
    2nd QUARTER 2025 AND HALF YEAR UNAUDITED RESULTS

    second quarter 2025 amount to $0.3580 per share. Shell has now completed $3.5 billion of share buybacks announced in the first quarter 2025 results announcement. Today, Shell announces a share buyback programme of $3.5 billion which is expected to be completed by the third quarter 2025 results announcement.

    Half Year Analysis1

    Income attributable to Shell plc shareholders, compared with the first half 2024, reflected lower trading and optimisation margins, lower realised liquids and LNG prices, and lower refining and chemical margins, partly offset by lower operating expenses and favourable tax movements.

    Our continued focus on performance, discipline and simplification has helped deliver $3.9 billion of pre-tax structural cost reductions3 since 2022. Of these reductions, $0.8 billion was delivered in the first half 2025.

    First half 2025 income attributable to Shell plc shareholders also included impairment charges, a charge related to the UK Energy Profits Levy and favourable movements due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives. These items are included in identified items amounting to a net loss of $1.2 billion. This compares with identified items in the first half 2024 which amounted to a net loss of $3.3 billion.

    Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA2 for the first half 2025 were driven by the same factors as income attributable to Shell plc shareholders and adjusted for identified items and the cost of supplies adjustment of $0.3 billion.

    Cash flow from operating activities for the first half 2025 was $21.2 billion, and primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA. This inflow was partly offset by tax payments of $6.3 billion and working capital outflows of $3.0 billion.

    Cash flow from investing activities for the first half 2025 was an outflow of $9.4 billion and included cash capital expenditure of $10.0 billion, and net other investing cash outflows of $0.9 billion, which included the drawdowns on loan facilities provided at completion of the sale of The Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited (SPDC) in Nigeria. These outflows were partly offset by interest received of $1.0 billion.

    PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENTS

    Integrated Gas

    In June 2025, we announced that the first cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) had left the LNG Canada facility on the west coast of Canada. Shell has a 40% working interest in the LNG Canada joint venture. Located in Kitimat, British Columbia, the facility will export LNG from two processing units or “trains” with a total capacity of 14 million tonnes per annum (mtpa).

    Upstream

    In May 2025, we completed the previously announced agreement to increase our working interest in the Shell-operated Ursa platform in the Gulf of America from 45.39% to 61.35%.

    In May 2025, we announced the start of production at the floating production storage and offloading facility (FPSO) Alexandre de Gusmão in the Mero field in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil. The unitized Mero field is operated by Petrobras (38.6%), in partnership with Shell Brasil (19.3%), TotalEnergies (19.3%), CNPC (9.65%), CNOOC (9.65%) and Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A. (PPSA) (3.5%) representing the Government in the non-contracted area.

    In May 2025, we signed an agreement to acquire a 12.5% interest in the OML 118 Production Sharing Contract (OML 118 PSC) from TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited. Upon completion, Shell’s working interest in the OML 118 PSC is expected to increase from 55% to a maximum of 67.5%.

    Chemicals and Products

    In April 2025, we completed the previously announced sale of our Energy and Chemicals Park in Singapore to CAPGC Pte. Ltd. (CAPGC), a joint venture between Chandra Asri Capital Pte. Ltd. and Glencore Asian Holdings Pte. Ltd.

    In April 2025, we agreed to sell our 16.125% interest in Colonial Enterprises, Inc. (“Colonial”) to Colossus AcquireCo LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. and its institutional partners (collectively, “Brookfield”), for $1.45 billion. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals.

    1.Q2 on Q1 change

    Integrated Gas includes liquefied natural gas (LNG), conversion of natural gas into gas-to-liquids (GTL) fuels and other products. It includes natural gas and liquids exploration and extraction, and the operation of the upstream and midstream infrastructure necessary to deliver these to market. Integrated Gas also includes the marketing, trading and optimisation of LNG.

    Quarter Analysis1

    Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes identified items.

    Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first quarter 2025, reflected the combined effect of lower contributions from trading and optimisation and lower realised prices (decrease of $589 million), and higher depreciation, depletion and amortisation expenses (increase of $162 million).

    Identified items in the second quarter 2025 included favourable movements of $454 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives, partly offset by impairment charges of $423 million. These favourable movements and impairment charges compare with the first quarter 2025 which included favourable movements of $362 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives. As part of Shell’s normal business, commodity derivative contracts are entered into as hedges for mitigation of economic exposures on future purchases, sales and inventory.

    Adjusted EBITDA2 was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

    Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter 2025 was primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA, net cash inflows related to derivatives of $542 million and working capital inflows of $352 million. These inflows were partly offset by tax payments of $967 million.

    Total oil and gas production, compared with the first quarter 2025, decreased by 2% mainly due to higher planned maintenance across the portfolio. LNG liquefaction volumes increased by 2% mainly due to ramp-up in Australia, following unplanned maintenance and weather constraints in the first quarter, partly offset by higher planned maintenance across the portfolio.

    Half Year Analysis1

    Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes identified items.

    Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first half 2024, reflected the combined effect of lower contributions from trading and optimisation and lower realised prices (decrease of $1,894 million), lower volumes (decrease of $373 million), and higher depreciation, depletion and amortisation expenses (increase of $120 million), partly offset by lower operating expenses (decrease of $107 million), and favourable deferred tax movements ($99 million).

    Identified items in the first half 2025 included favourable movements of $817 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives, partly offset by impairment charges of $423 million. These favourable movements and charges are part of identified items and compare with the first half 2024 which included unfavourable movements of $985 million due

    to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives. As part of Shell’s normal business, commodity derivative contracts are entered into for mitigation of economic exposures on future purchases, sales and inventory.

    Adjusted EBITDA2 was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

    Cash flow from operating activities for the first half 2025 was primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA, and net cash inflows related to derivatives of $1,084 million. These inflows were partly offset by tax payments of $1,741 million and working capital outflows of $335 million.

    Total oil and gas production, compared with the first half 2024, decreased by 7% mainly due to higher maintenance across the portfolio and weather constraints in Australia. LNG liquefaction volumes decreased by 8% mainly due to higher maintenance across the portfolio.

    1.All earnings amounts are shown post-tax, unless stated otherwise.

    2.Adjusted EBITDA is without taxation, exploration well write-offs and DD&A expenses.

    The Upstream segment includes exploration and extraction of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. It also markets and transports oil and gas, and operates the infrastructure necessary to deliver them to the market.

    Quarter Analysis1

    Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes identified items.

    Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first quarter 2025, reflected lower realised liquids and gas prices (decrease of $594 million) and higher depreciation, depletion and amortisation expenses (increase of $154 million), partly offset by higher volumes (increase of $112 million).

    Identified items in the second quarter 2025 included gains of $350 million from disposal of assets. These favourable movements compare with the first quarter 2025 which included a charge of $509 million related to the UK Energy Profits Levy, partly offset by gains of $159 million from disposal of assets and gains of $95 million related to the impact of the strengthening Brazilian real on a deferred tax position.

    Adjusted EBITDA2 was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

    Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter 2025 was primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA, dividends (net of profits) from joint ventures and associates of $1,542 million and working capital inflows of $655 million. These inflows were partly offset by tax payments of $1,948 million.

    Total production, compared with the first quarter 2025, decreased mainly due to the SPDC divestment and higher planned maintenance, partly offset by new oil production.

    Half Year Analysis1

    Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes identified items.

    Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first half 2024, reflected lower realised prices (decrease of $1,262 million) and the comparative unfavourable impact of gas storage effects (decrease of $499 million), partly offset by lower exploration well write-offs (decrease of $574 million), lower depreciation, depletion and amortisation expenses (decrease of $375 million), lower operating expenses (decrease of $245 million) and favourable tax movements ($143 million).

    Identified items in the first half 2025 included gains of $509 million from disposal of assets and a gain of $168 million related to the impact of the strengthening Brazilian real on a deferred tax position, offset by a charge of $509 million related to the UK Energy Profits Levy. These favourable movements and charges compare with the first half 2024 which included gains of $599 million related to the impact of inflationary adjustments in Argentina on a deferred tax position, partly offset by a loss of $191 million related to the impact of the weakening Brazilian real on a deferred tax position and impairment charges of $169 million.

    Adjusted EBITDA2 was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

    Cash flow from operating activities for the first half 2025 was primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA and dividends (net of profits) from joint ventures and associates of $1,384 million. These inflows were partly offset by tax payments of $3,946 million.

    Total production, compared with the first half 2024, decreased mainly due to the SPDC divestment and field decline largely offset by new oil production.

    Quarter Analysis1

    Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes identified items.

    Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first quarter 2025, reflected higher Marketing margins (increase of $282 million) mainly due to higher Mobility unit margins and seasonal impact of higher volumes, stable Lubricants margins and Sectors and Decarbonisation margins, and favourable tax movements ($92 million). These net gains were partly offset by higher operating expenses (increase of $41 million).

    Identified items in the second quarter 2025 included net impairment charges and reversals of $285 million, net losses of $44 million related to the sale of assets, and charges of $44 million related to redundancy and restructuring. These charges and net losses compare with the first quarter 2025 which included net losses of $61 million related to the sale of assets.

    Adjusted EBITDA2 was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

    Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter 2025 was primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA, inflows relating to the timing impact of payments related to emission certificates and biofuel programmes of $515 million, dividends (net of profits/losses) from joint ventures and associates of $161 million and working capital inflows of $67 million. These inflows were partly offset by tax payments of $132 million, and non-cash cost of supplies adjustment of $104 million.

    Marketing sales volumes (comprising hydrocarbon sales), compared with the first quarter 2025, increased mainly due to seasonality.

    Half Year Analysis1

    Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes identified items.

    Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first half 2024, reflected lower operating expenses (decrease of $199 million) and higher Marketing margins (increase of $71 million) including higher Mobility and Lubricants margins due to improved unit margins, partly offset by lower Sectors and Decarbonisation margins.

    Identified items in the first half 2025 included net impairment charges and reversals of $278 million and net losses of $105 million related to sale of assets. These charges and net losses compare with the first half 2024 which included impairment charges of $786 million mainly relating to an asset in the Netherlands, charges of $65 million related to redundancy and restructuring, and net losses of $56 million related to the sale of assets, partly offset by favourable movements of $50 million relating to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives.

    Quarter Analysis1

    Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes identified items.

    Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first quarter 2025, reflected lower Products margins (decrease of $450 million) mainly driven by lower margins from trading and optimisation, partly offset by higher refining margins. Adjusted Earnings also reflected lower Chemicals margins (decrease of $103 million). These net losses were partly offset by favourable tax movements ($96 million) and lower operating expenses (decrease of $58 million).

    In the second quarter 2025, Chemicals had negative Adjusted Earnings of $192 million and Products had positive Adjusted Earnings of $310 million.

    Identified items in the second quarter 2025 included impairment charges of $62 million. These charges compare with the first quarter 2025 which included impairment charges of $277 million and unfavourable movements of $202 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives that, as part of Shell’s normal business, are entered into as hedges for mitigation of economic exposures on future purchases, sales and inventory.

    Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter 2025 was primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA, inflows relating to the timing impact of payments relating to emission certificates and biofuel programmes of $367 million and working capital inflows of $383 million. These inflows were partly offset by non-cash cost of supplies adjustment of $333 million.

    Refinery utilisation was 94% compared with 85% in the first quarter 2025, mainly due to lower planned and unplanned maintenance.

    Chemicals manufacturing plant utilisation was 72% compared with 81% in the first quarter 2025, mainly due to higher planned maintenance, and unplanned maintenance mainly in Monaca.

    Half Year Analysis1

    Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes identified items.

    Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first half 2024, reflected lower Products margins (decrease of $1,960 million), driven mainly by lower margins from trading and optimisation and lower refining margins. Adjusted Earnings also reflected lower Chemicals margins (decrease of $415 million). These net losses were partly offset by lower operating expenses (decrease of $180 million) and favourable tax movements ($70 million).

    Identified items in the first half 2025 included impairment charges of $339 million and unfavourable movements of $153 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives. These charges and unfavourable movements compare with the first half 2024 which included net impairment charges and reversals of $860 million mainly relating to assets in Singapore, and unfavourable movements of $163 million relating to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives.

    NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    1. Basis of preparation

    These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Shell plc (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Shell”) have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and adopted by the UK, and on the basis of the same accounting principles as those used in the Company’s Annual Report and Accounts (pages 240 to 312) for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales and as filed with the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (the Netherlands) and Amendment No. 1 to Form 20-F (“Form 20-F/A”) (pages 10 to 83) for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with these filings.

    The financial information presented in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006 (“the Act”). Statutory accounts for the year ended December 31, 2024, were published in Shell’s Annual Report and Accounts, a copy of which was delivered to the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales. The auditor’s report on those accounts was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not contain a statement under sections 498(2) or 498(3) of the Act.

    Going Concern

    These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption over the period to December 31, 2026 (the ‘going concern period’), management have stress-tested Shell’s most recent financial projections to incorporate a range of potential future outcomes by considering Shell’s principal risks, potential downside pressures on commodity prices and long-term demand, and cash preservation measures, including reduced cash capital expenditure and shareholder distributions. This assessment confirmed that Shell has adequate cash, other liquid resources and undrawn credit facilities to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due in order to continue its operations during the going concern period. Therefore, the Directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

    Key accounting considerations, significant judgements and estimates

    Future commodity price assumptions, which represent a significant estimate, were subject to change in the second quarter 2025 (See Note 7). Noting continued volatility in markets, price assumptions remain under review.

    The discount rates applied for impairment testing and the discount rate applied to provisions are reviewed on a regular basis. Both discount rates applied in the first half year 2025 remain unchanged compared with 2024.

    2. Segment information

    With effect from January 1, 2025, segment earnings are presented on an Adjusted Earnings basis (Adjusted Earnings), which is the earnings measure used by the Chief Executive Officer, who serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker, for the purposes of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. This aligns with Shell’s focus on performance, discipline and simplification.

    The Adjusted Earnings measure is presented on a current cost of supplies (CCS) basis and aims to facilitate a comparative understanding of Shell’s financial performance from period to period by removing the effects of oil price changes on inventory carrying amounts and removing the effects of identified items. Identified items are in some cases driven by external factors and may, either individually or collectively, hinder the comparative understanding of Shell’s financial results from period to period.

    The segment earnings measure used until December 31, 2024 was CCS earnings. The difference between CCS earnings and Adjusted Earnings are the identified items. Comparative periods are presented below on an Adjusted Earnings basis.

    Identified items

    The objective of identified items is to remove material impacts on net income/loss arising from transactions which are generally uncontrollable and unusual (infrequent or non-recurring) in nature or giving rise to a mismatch between accounting and economic results, or certain transactions that are generally excluded from underlying results in the industry.

    Identified items comprise: divestment gains and losses, impairments and impairment reversals, redundancy and restructuring, fair value accounting of commodity derivatives and certain gas contracts that gives rise to a mismatch between accounting and economic results, the impact of exchange rate movements and inflationary adjustments on certain deferred tax balances, and other items.

    1.Fair value accounting of commodity derivatives and certain gas contracts: In the ordinary course of business, Shell enters into contracts to supply or purchase oil and gas products, as well as power and environmental products. Shell also enters into contracts for tolling, pipeline and storage capacity. Derivative contracts are entered into for mitigation of resulting economic exposures (generally price exposure) and these derivative contracts are carried at period-end market price (fair value), with movements in fair value recognised in income for the period. Supply and purchase contracts entered into for operational purposes, as well as contracts for tolling, pipeline and storage capacity, are, by contrast, recognised when the transaction occurs; furthermore, inventory is carried at historical cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. As a consequence, accounting mismatches occur because: (a) the supply or purchase transaction is recognised in a different period; or (b) the inventory is measured on a different basis. In addition, certain contracts are, due to pricing or delivery conditions, deemed to contain embedded derivatives or written options and are also required to be carried at fair value even though they are entered into for operational purposes. The accounting impacts are reported as identified items.

    2.Other identified items represent other credits or charges that based on Shell management’s assessment hinder the comparative understanding of Shell’s financial results from period to period.

    3.Impact of exchange rate movements and inflationary adjustments on tax balances represents the impact on tax balances of exchange rate movements and inflationary adjustments arising on: (a) the conversion to dollars of the local currency tax base of non-monetary assets and liabilities, as well as recognised tax losses (this primarily impacts the Integrated Gas and Upstream segments); and (b) the conversion of dollar-denominated inter-segment loans to local currency, leading to taxable exchange rate gains or losses (this primarily impacts the Corporate segment).

    The merger reserve and share premium reserve were established as a consequence of Shell plc (formerly Royal Dutch Shell plc) becoming the single parent company of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and The “Shell” Transport and Trading Company, p.l.c., now The Shell Transport and Trading Company Limited, in 2005. The merger reserve increased in 2016 following the issuance of shares for the acquisition of BG Group plc. The capital redemption reserve was established in connection with repurchases of shares of Shell plc. The share plan reserve is in respect of equity-settled share-based compensation plans.

    6. Derivative financial instruments and debt excluding lease liabilities

    As disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, presented in the Annual Report and Accounts and Form 20-F/A for that year, Shell is exposed to the risks of changes in fair value of its financial assets and liabilities. The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values at June 30, 2025, are consistent with those used in the year ended December 31, 2024, though the carrying amounts of derivative financial instruments have changed since that date.

    9. Post-balance sheet events

    On July 1, 2023, new pension legislation (“Wet Toekomst Pensioenen” (WTP)) came into effect in the Netherlands, with an expected implementation required prior to January 1, 2028. In July 2025, the Trustee Board of the Stichting Shell Pensioen Fonds (“SSPF”), Shell’s defined benefit pension fund in the Netherlands, formally accepted the transition plan to transition from a defined benefit pension fund to a defined contribution plan with effect from January 1, 2027, subject to the local funding level of the plan remaining above an agreed level (125%) during a predetermined transition period.

    In accordance with asset ceiling principles, in the third quarter 2025, Shell will recognise an adjustment to reduce the pension fund surplus (June 30, 2025: $5,521 million) to nil, and recognise a liability for a minimum funding requirement estimated at $750 million, resulting in a loss in Other Comprehensive Income. In addition, a net deferred tax liability of $1,617 million will be unwound, leading to an overall net post-tax loss of $4,654 million recognised in Other Comprehensive Income resulting in an increase in gearing of 0.4 percentage points. Subsequently, at the date of transition and settlement (expected December 31, 2026), the surplus at that date will be de-recognised, resulting in an identified loss in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The extent to which the funding level will meet the agreed 125% threshold is subject to uncertainty and the asset ceiling recognised will continue to be monitored in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits.

    ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE (NON-GAAP) MEASURES

    A.Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Cash flow from operating activities

    The “Adjusted Earnings” measure aims to facilitate a comparative understanding of Shell’s financial performance from period to period by removing the effects of oil price changes on inventory carrying amounts and removing the effects of identified items. These items are in some cases driven by external factors and may, either individually or collectively, hinder the comparative understanding of Shell’s financial results from period to period. This measure excludes earnings attributable to non-controlling interest when presenting the total Shell Group result but includes these items when presenting individual segment Adjusted Earnings as set out in the table below.

    See Note 2 “Segment information” for the reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings.

    We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as “Income/(loss) for the period” adjusted for current cost of supplies; identified items; tax charge/(credit); depreciation, amortisation and depletion; exploration well write-offs and net interest expense. All items include the non-controlling interest component. Management uses this measure to evaluate Shell’s performance in the period and over time.

    Identified items

    The objective of identified items is to remove material impacts on net income/loss arising from transactions which are generally uncontrollable and unusual (infrequent or non-recurring) in nature or giving rise to a mismatch between accounting and economic results, or certain transactions that are generally excluded from underlying results in the industry.

    Identified items comprise: divestment gains and losses, impairments and impairment reversals, redundancy and restructuring, fair value accounting of commodity derivatives and certain gas contracts that gives rise to a mismatch between accounting and economic results, the impact of exchange rate movements and inflationary adjustments on certain deferred tax balances, and other items.

    See Note 2 “Segment information” for details.

    B.    Adjusted Earnings per share

    Adjusted Earnings per share is calculated as Adjusted Earnings (see Reference A), divided by the weighted average number of shares used as the basis for basic earnings per share (see Note 3).

    C.    Cash capital expenditure

    Cash capital expenditure represents cash spent on maintaining and developing assets as well as on investments in the period. Management regularly monitors this measure as a key lever to delivering sustainable cash flows. Cash capital expenditure is the sum of the following lines from the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows: Capital expenditure, Investments in joint ventures and associates and Investments in equity securities.

    See Note 2 “Segment information” for the reconciliation of cash capital expenditure.

    D.    Capital employed and Return on average capital employed

    Return on average capital employed (“ROACE”) measures the efficiency of Shell’s utilisation of the capital that it employs.

    The measure refers to Capital employed which consists of total equity, current debt, and non-current debt reduced by cash and cash equivalents.

    In this calculation, the sum of Adjusted Earnings (see Reference A) plus non-controlling interest (NCI) excluding identified items for the current and previous three quarters, adjusted for after-tax interest expense and after-tax interest income, is expressed as a percentage of the average capital employed excluding cash and cash equivalents for the same period.

    E.    Net debt and gearing

    Net debt is defined as the sum of current and non-current debt, less cash and cash equivalents, adjusted for the fair value of derivative financial instruments used to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate risk relating to debt, and associated collateral balances. Management considers this adjustment useful because it reduces the volatility of net debt caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates, and eliminates the potential impact of related collateral payments or receipts. Debt-related derivative financial instruments are a subset of the derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities presented on the balance sheet. Collateral balances are reported under “Trade and other receivables” or “Trade and other payables” as appropriate.

    Gearing is a measure of Shell’s capital structure and is defined as net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) as a percentage of total capital (net debt plus total equity).

    2.Free cash flow less divestment proceeds, adding back outflows related to inorganic expenditure.

    H.    Cash flow from operating activities excluding working capital movements

    Working capital movements are defined as the sum of the following items in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows: (i) (increase)/decrease in inventories, (ii) (increase)/decrease in current receivables, and (iii) increase/(decrease) in current payables.

    Cash flow from operating activities excluding working capital movements is a measure used by Shell to analyse its operating cash generation over time excluding the timing effects of changes in inventories and operating receivables and payables from period to period.

    J.    Structural cost reduction

    The structural cost reduction target is used for the purpose of demonstrating how management drives cost discipline across the entire organisation, simplifying our processes and portfolio, and streamlining the way we work.

    Structural cost reduction describes the decrease in underlying operating expenses (see Reference F above) as a result of operational efficiencies, divestments, workforce reductions and other cost-saving measures that are expected to be sustainable compared with 2022 levels.

    The total change between periods in underlying operating expenses will reflect both structural cost reductions and other changes in spend, including market factors, such as inflation and foreign exchange impacts, as well as changes in activity levels and costs associated with new operations.

    Structural cost reductions are stewarded internally to support management’s oversight of spending over time. The 2028 target reflects annualised saving achieved by end-2028.

    PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

    The principal risks and uncertainties affecting Shell are described in the Risk management and risk factors section of the Annual Report and Accounts (pages 134 to 144) and Form 20-F (pages 25 to 34) for the year ended December 31, 2024 and are summarised below. There are no material changes expected in those Risk Factors for the remaining six months of the financial year.

    1.Portfolio risks

    We are exposed to risks that could adversely affect the resilience of our overall portfolio of businesses. These include external risks such as macroeconomic risks, including fluctuating commodity prices and competitive forces. Our future performance depends on the successful development and deployment of new technologies that provide new products and solutions. In addition, our future hydrocarbon production depends on the delivery of integrated projects and our ability to replace proved oil and gas reserves. Many of our major projects and operations are conducted in joint arrangements or with associates. This could reduce our degree of control and our ability to identify and manage risks.

    2.Climate change and the energy transition

    Rising concerns about climate change and the effects of the energy transition pose multiple risks to Shell, including declines in the demand for and prices of our products, commercial risks from growing our low-carbon business, and adverse litigation and regulatory developments. The physical impacts of climate change could also adversely affect our assets and supply chains.

    3.Country risks

    We operate in more than 70 countries which have differing degrees of political, legal and fiscal stability. This has exposed, and could expose, us to a wide range of political developments that could result in changes to contractual terms, laws and regulations.

    4.Financial risks

    We are exposed to treasury risks, including liquidity risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and credit risk. We are affected by the global macroeconomic environment and the conditions of financial markets. These, and changes to certain demographic factors, also impact our pension assets and liabilities.

    5.Trading risks

    We are exposed to market, regulatory and conduct risks in our trading operations.

    6.Health, safety, security and the environment

    The nature of our operations exposes us, and the communities in which we work, to a wide range of health, safety, security and environment risks.

    7.Information technology and cybersecurity risks

    We rely heavily on information technology systems in our operations.

    8.Litigation and regulatory compliance

    Violations of laws carry fines and could expose us and/or our employees to criminal sanctions and civil suits. We have faced, and could also face, the risk of litigation and disputes worldwide.

    9.Reputation and risks to our licence to operate

    An erosion of our business reputation could have a material adverse effect on our brand, on our ability to secure new hydrocarbon or low-carbon opportunities, to access capital markets, and to attract and retain people, and on our licence to operate.

    10.Our people and culture

    The successful delivery of our strategy is dependent on our people and on a culture that aligns to our goals and reflects the changes we need to make as part of the energy transition.

    11.Other (generally applicable to an investment in securities)

    The Company’s Articles of Association determine the jurisdiction for shareholder disputes. This could limit shareholder remedies.

    In May 2025, we signed an agreement to acquire a 12.5% interest in the OML 118 Production Sharing Contract (OML 118 PSC) from TotalEnergies EP Nigeria Limited. Upon completion, Shell’s working interest in the OML 118 PSC is expected to increase from 55% to a maximum of 67.5%.

    Chemicals and Products

    In January 2025, CNOOC and Shell Petrochemicals Company Limited (CSPC), a 50:50 joint venture between Shell and CNOOC Petrochemicals Investment Ltd, took an FID to expand its petrochemical complex in Daya Bay, Huizhou, south China.

    In April 2025, we completed the previously announced sale of our Energy and Chemicals Park in Singapore to CAPGC Pte. Ltd. (CAPGC), a joint venture between Chandra Asri Capital Pte. Ltd. and Glencore Asian Holdings Pte. Ltd.

    In April 2025, we agreed to sell our 16.125% interest in Colonial Enterprises, Inc. (“Colonial”) to Colossus AcquireCo LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. and its institutional partners (collectively, “Brookfield”), for $1.45 billion. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.

    Renewables and Energy Solutions

    In January 2025, we completed the previously announced acquisition of a 100% equity stake in RISEC Holdings, LLC, which owns a 609-megawatt (MW) two-unit combined-cycle gas turbine power plant in Rhode Island, USA.

    2nd QUARTER 2025 AND HALF YEAR UNAUDITED RESULTS

    INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO SHELL PLC

    Conclusion

    We have been engaged by Shell plc to review the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (“Interim Statements”) and half year unaudited results (“half-yearly financial report”) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Income, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Notes 1 to 9. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the Interim Statements.

    Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim Statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority.

    Basis for Conclusion

    We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (“ISRE”) 2410 (UK), “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” (ISRE) issued by the Financial Reporting Council. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

    As disclosed in Note 1, Shell’s annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards. The Interim Statements included in the half-yearly financial report have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

    Conclusions Relating to Going Concern

    Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis of Conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that management have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that management have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed.

    This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with this ISRE, however future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

    Responsibilities of the Directors

    The Directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority.

    In preparing the half-yearly financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

    Auditor’s Responsibilities for the review of the financial information

    In reviewing the half-yearly financial report, we are responsible for expressing to Shell plc a conclusion on the Interim Statements in the half-yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions Relating to Going Concern are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of this report.

    Use of our report

    This report is made solely to Shell plc in accordance with guidance contained in the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Financial Reporting Council. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than Shell plc, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

    Forward-Looking statements

    This Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of Shell. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Shell to market risks and statements expressing management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “aim”; “ambition”; ‘‘anticipate’’; “aspire”, “aspiration”, ‘‘believe’’; “commit”; “commitment”; ‘‘could’’; “desire”; ‘‘estimate’’; ‘‘expect’’; ‘‘goals’’; ‘‘intend’’; ‘‘may’’; “milestones”; ‘‘objectives’’; ‘‘outlook’’; ‘‘plan’’; ‘‘probably’’; ‘‘project’’; ‘‘risks’’; “schedule”; ‘‘seek’’; ‘‘should’’; ‘‘target’’; “vision”; ‘‘will’’; “would” and similar terms and phrases. There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report, including (without limitation): (a) price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas; (b) changes in demand for Shell’s products; (c) currency fluctuations; (d) drilling and production results; (e) reserves estimates; (f) loss of market share and industry competition; (g) environmental and physical risks, including climate change; (h) risks associated with the identification of suitable potential acquisition properties and targets, and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions; (i) the risk of doing business in developing countries and countries subject to international sanctions; (j) legislative, judicial, fiscal and regulatory developments including tariffs and regulatory measures addressing climate change; (k) economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions; (l) political risks, including the risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities, delays or advancements in the approval of projects and delays in the reimbursement for shared costs; (m) risks associated with the impact of pandemics, regional conflicts, such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the conflict in the Middle East, and a significant cyber security, data privacy or IT incident; (n) the pace of the energy transition; and (o) changes in trading conditions. No assurance is provided that future dividend payments will match or exceed previous dividend payments. All forward-looking statements contained in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plc’s Form 20-F and amendment thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 (available at www.shell.com/investors/news-and-filings/sec-filings.html and www.sec.gov). These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report and should be considered by the reader. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report, July 31, 2025. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report.

    Shell’s net carbon intensity

    Also, in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

    Shell’s net-zero emissions target

    Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our Scope 1, Scope 2 and NCI targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.

    Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures

    This Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as cash capital expenditure and Adjusted Earnings. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.

    ANNOUNCEMENT OF A VOLUNTARY SHARE EXCHANGE OFFER MADE BY EURONEXT N.V. TO ACQUIRE THE ORDINARY REGISTERED SHARES OF HELLENIC EXCHANGES-ATHENS STOCK EXCHANGE S.A. IN CONSIDERATION FOR SHARES OF EURONEXT N.V.

    31 July 2025

    Executive Summary

    Euronext N.V. (“Euronext” or the “Offeror”, and together with any and all of its directly, or indirectly, wholly, or partially, owned subsidiaries, the “Euronext Group”) announces today the submission of a voluntary share exchange offer (the “Tender Offer”) to acquire all common registered shares, each having a nominal value of €0.42 (each, an “ATHEX Share”) of HELLENIC EXCHANGES-ATHENS STOCK EXCHANGE S.A. (“ATHEX” or the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries, the “ATHEX Group”), for newly issued ordinary shares in the capital of the Offeror, with a nominal value of €1.60 each (each, a “Consideration Share”) on a ratio of 0.050 Consideration Share for 1 ATHEX Share, in accordance with Greek Law 3461/2006 (the “Law”). Based on Euronext’s 1-week VWAP of €147.24 as of 29 July 2025, the Offer values the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital1 of ATHEX at approximately €425.9 million on a fully diluted basis.

    The purpose of the Tender Offer is for the Offeror to acquire direct control over ATHEX and integrate the ATHEX Group into the Euronext Group. Pursuant to the Tender Offer, the Offeror seeks to become the direct parent company of ATHEX and the ultimate parent company of ATHEX Group with a shareholding structure where all ATHEX shareholders will become shareholders of the Offeror.

    The principal objective of the Tender Offer is to acquire and integrate ATHEX into Euronext, a comprehensive pan-European business model characterized by a single liquidity pool, a single order book, a single trading technology platform, a common approach to listing and a unified post-trading framework in order to reduce fragmentation in European financial markets, reinforcing the Savings and Investment Union endeavors, and finance the real European economy effectively.

    The integration of ATHEX Group within the Euronext group is expected to (i) strengthen access to financing for Greek corporates, (ii) embed ATHEX within a pan-European trading framework, (iii) reinforce the operating resiliency of the local capital markets and (iv) create a unified post-trade infrastructure.

    Greek ecosystem to be fully part of the Offeror’s governance and supervision through (i) the CEO of ATHEX joining the Managing Board of Euronext, (ii) HCMC joining Euronext’s College of Regulators and (iii) subject to the Offeror’s shareholders’ and regulatory approvals, an independent director representing the Greek ecosystem will join the Offeror’s Supervisory Board.

    ATHEX Group will maintain its ties to Greece after the Tender Offer, retaining its head office in Athens, while ATHEX’s tax residence will remain in Greece.

    On 30 July 2025, the Offeror and ATHEX entered into a Cooperation Agreement that outlines the terms and conditions under which both the Offeror and ATHEX agree to work together towards the completion of the Tender Offer.

    In addition, all members of the Board of Directors of ATHEX owning ATHEX shares including CEO Yannos Kontopoulos have agreed to tender ATHEX shares they own today or may own during Tender Offer subject to the issuance of a reasoned opinion of ATHEX’s Board of Directors in favour of the Tender Offer.

    Deutsche Bank AG is acting as advisor to Euronext in connection with the Tender Offer.

    The Tender Offer

    In accordance with the Law, Euronext, announces the submission of the Tender Offer to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary registered shares of ATHEX, as at 30 July 2025 (the “Date of the Tender Offer”), i.e. 60,348,000 ATHEX Shares representing 100% of the total issued share capital and voting rights of ATHEX as at that date.

    ATHEX is a Greek société anonyme under the name “HELLENIC EXCHANGES-ATHENS STOCK EXCHANGE S.A.”, registered with the General Commercial Registry with registration number 003719101000 and registered seat at 110 Athinon Ave, 104 42, Athens. The share capital of ATHEX amounts to €25,346,160.00 and is divided into 60,348,000 shares, with a par value of €0.42 each, which has been fully paid-up. The ATHEX’s shares are commonly registered with a voting right. According to the announcements that ATHEX has published until and including 30 July 2025, ATHEX held an aggregate of 2,498,000 of issued ATHEX Shares (the “Treasury Shares”). ATHEX’s shares were admitted to trading on the Athens Stock Exchange in August 2000 and are currently traded on the main market of the Athens Stock Exchange under the trading symbol EXAE.

    The Date of the Tender Offer is the date on which Euronext initiated the Tender Offer process by informing the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (the “HCMC”) and the board of directors of ATHEX of the Tender Offer and submitting to them a draft of the Greek information circular (the “Information Circular”), in accordance with article 10, paragraph 1 of the Law.

    The Offeror will publish by way of separate announcement the commencement of the acceptance period of the Tender Offer (the “Acceptance Period”) and the means to tender.

    The companies of the Euronext Group are acting in concert with the Offeror for the purposes of the Tender Offer, pursuant to article 2, case (e) of the Law .There are no other persons acting in concert with the Offeror for the purposes of the Tender Offer, pursuant to article 2, case (e) of the Law. As at the Date of the Tender Offer, no ATHEX Shares were held, directly or indirectly, by the Euronext Group.

    The Offeror may purchase ATHEX Shares in the market or over-the-counter until and including the end of the Acceptance Period.

    On 30 July 2025, the Offeror and ATHEX entered into a cooperation agreement which details the cooperation between the Offeror and ATHEX in relation to the Tender Offer (the “Cooperation Agreement”). The Cooperation Agreement provides, among others, that ATHEX will not tender the Treasury Shares in the Tender Offer.

    Other than the Cooperation Agreement and the aforementioned written statements received by the Offeror from the ATHEX directors, there are no special agreements relating to the Tender Offer or the exercise of rights arising from the ATHEX Shares to which the Offeror is a party.

    The purpose of the Tender Offer is for the Offeror to acquire direct control over ATHEX and integrate the ATHEX Group into the Euronext Group. Pursuant to the Tender Offer, the Offeror seeks to become the direct parent company of ATHEX and the ultimate parent company of ATHEX Group with a shareholding structure where ATHEX shareholders will become shareholders of the Offeror.

    Consideration and Tender Offer Structure

    In consideration for every ATHEX Share lawfully and validly tendered in the Tender Offer, and in accordance with the first clause of paragraph 1 of article 9 of the Law, Euronext offers five hundredths (0.050) of a Consideration Share for 1 ATHEX Share (the “Offer Consideration”). The shares of the Offeror are held in book-entry form through the Central Securities Depository for the Offeror Shares (“Euronext Securities”).

    The Offer Consideration meets the criteria of “fair and equitable” consideration under article 9, paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Law.

    1. The Offer Consideration of the Tender Offer means the amount of 0.050 Consideration Shares for 1 ATHEX Share, to be issued pursuant to the Tender Offer.
    2. As provided for in article 9, paragraph 5 (a) of the Law, the following shall be taken into account for the price of the ATHEX share:

    a)   its VWAP during the six months preceding the Date of the Tender Offer, where in this case the VWAP of ATHEX’s share during the six months preceding 30 July 2025, is €5.9770.

    b)   the Offeror did not acquire ATHEX Shares during the twelve (12) months preceding the Date of the Tender Offer.

    C. A valuation is not required for ATHEX based on the provisions of par. 6 of article 9 of the Law, as none of the conditions referred to therein are met, namely:

    • no sanctions have been imposed by the Board of Directors of HCMC for manipulation of ATHEX Shares that took place within the 18-month period preceding the Date of the Tender Offer,
    • during the six (6) months preceding the Date of the Tender Offer, (i) Share transactions have been carried out on the Athens Stock Exchange on more than three-fifths (3/5) of the operating days of the relevant market, and specifically, they amounted to 100% of them and (ii) Share transactions that have been carried out exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of Shares of ATHEX, and specifically, they amounted to 39.1% of them.
    • The “fair and equitable” consideration as determined by the criteria of paragraph 4 of Article 9 of the Law, exceeds eighty percent (80%) of the book value per share, based on the data of the average of the last two published financial statements of Law 3556/2007, on a consolidated basis.

    D.         As provided for in article 9 par. 5 (b) of the Law, for the price of the Offeror’s share provided as consideration, the VWAP of the Offeror’s share during the six months preceding the Date of the Tender Offer is taken into account, where in this case the VWAP of the Offeror’s share during the six months preceding 30 July 2025 is €135.0369.

    E. Therefore, 0.050 of the Offeror’s share provided as consideration is equal to €6.7518 per ATHEX Share, taking into account the VWAP of the Offeror Share. Therefore, the Offer Consideration meets the criteria of “fair and equitable” consideration, as described in Article 9, paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Law.

    This amount on the Date of the Tender Offer exceeds by 13.0% the “fair and equitable” consideration, as defined in Article 9, paragraphs 4 and 5, as on the one hand the VWAP of ATHEX during the six months preceding the Tender Offer is €5.9770, and on the other hand the Offeror did not acquire Shares during the twelve (12) months preceding the Date of the Tender Offer.

    This amount on the Date of the Tender Offer represents a 7.51% discount to the closing price of the ATHEX Share on the Athens Stock Exchange on the date preceding the Date of the Tender Offer, which amounted to €7.3000, as both ATHEX and Euronext shares have appreciated over the past six months.

    In addition:

    • the Offer Consideration calculated on the basis of the price of the Offeror Share on the date preceding the Date of the Tender Offer represents a 1.7% discount to the closing price of the ATHEX Share on the Athens Stock Exchange on the date preceding the Date of the Tender Offer.
    • the Offer Consideration calculated on the basis of the price of the Offeror Share on 27 June 2025, being the date when the Offeror issued a statement confirming its discussions with ATHEX (the “Date of the Initial Statement”) exceeds by 21.3% the closing price of the ATHEX Share on the Athens Stock Exchange on the Date of the Initial Statement.

    On 15 May 2025, the general meeting of the Offeror has designated the Managing Board of the Offeror for a period of eighteen (18) months as the competent body to, subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board of the Offeror, issue ordinary shares and to grant rights to subscribe for ordinary shares up to a total of 10% of the issued ordinary share capital at the date of the annual general meeting held in 2025, and to restrict or exclude the pre-emptive rights of shareholders pertaining to (the right to subscribe for) ordinary shares upon any issuance of ordinary shares (the AGM Delegation). Pursuant to the AGM-Delegation, the Managing Board of the Offeror resolved on 29 July 2025 to issue Consideration Shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Information Circular. On the same date, the Supervisory Board of the Offeror approved the resolution adopted by the Managing Board in accordance with the AGM-Delegation. The maximum number of Consideration Shares that Euronext will issue in connection with the Tender Offer, the Right of Squeeze-Out and the Right to Sell-Out (being 3,017,400 Consideration Shares) is smaller than the number of Offeror Shares that the Euronext boards are capable of issuing pursuant to such mandate (being 10,423,550 Offeror Shares). Euronext will assume payment of the duties levied in favor of the Hellenic Central Securities Depository S.A. (the “ATHEXCSD”) on the registration of the over-the-counter transfer of the Transferred Shares in accordance with the codified decision 18 (Meeting 311/22.02.2021) of the Board of Directors of ATHEXCSD, which would otherwise be payable by the accepting shareholders of ATHEX. Such duties amount to 0.08% and are calculated in accordance with the provisions of such decision.

    Shareholders who offer the ATHEX Shares they hold in the context of the Tender Offer, including those electing to receive the Cash Consideration in the context of the exercise of the Right of Squeeze-out or the Right to Sell-out, will also be responsible for all charges and taxes that are due in connection with the Tender Offer, and the Offeror assumes no responsibility nor liability in the payment of said charges and taxes other than the duties levied in favor of the ATHEXCSD expressly set forth in this Information Circular. Notably, based on the letter of the circular issued by the Greek Independent Authority for Public Revenue with reference number Ε.2048/2024, the transfer of the Transferred Shares to the Offeror in consideration for Consideration Shares can be excluded from the tax provided for in article 9 paragraph 2 of Law 2579/1998 in favor of the Greek State provided all conditions mentioned therein are met, which amounts to 0.10%, and is imposed on sales of shares listed on the Athens Stock Exchange, since such transfer does not constitute a sale under the abovementioned provision. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax implications of the Tender Offer that may concern them in Greece or abroad.

    Euronext will publish, through a separate announcement, the commencement of the Acceptance Period and the means to tender.

    If after the end of the Acceptance Period, Euronext possesses the Minimum Number of Shares but less than 52.065.000 ATHEX Shares representing 90% of the voting rights of ATHEX, ATHEX shares will continue to be traded in the Athens Stock Exchange.

    Squeeze-Out and Sell-Out Procedures, Delisting of ATHEX

    If, at the end of the Acceptance Period, Euronext holds at least 52,065,000 ATHEX Shares representing 90% of ATHEX’s total voting rights (the “Relevant Threshold”):

    (a)   Euronext will initiate the squeeze-out procedure under the Law to cause any remaining holders of Company Shares to transfer those ATHEX Shares to Euronext, in accordance with the Law (the “Right of Squeeze-Out”); and

    (b)   holders of ATHEX Shares who have not accepted the Tender Offer will be entitled, within a period of three (3) months from the publication of the results of the Tender Offer, to exercise the right to sell-out, in accordance with the Law (the “Right to Sell-Out”).

    The consideration offered for each Company Share regarding both the Right of Squeeze-Out and the Right to Sell-Out, will be in accordance with the provisions of Articles 27 and 28 of the Law.

    If the Relevant Threshold is reached or exceeded at the end of the Acceptance Period, the Offeror expects that the Right of Squeeze-out process will be completed within four to eight weeks after Closing. The Offeror intends to apply for the commencement of unconditional listing and trading on Euronext Amsterdam, Euronext Brussels, Euronext Lisbon and Euronext Paris of any Offeror Shares which may be issued as consideration in connection with the Right of Squeeze-out as soon as practicable following completion of the Right of Squeeze-out process.

    If the Relevant Threshold is reached or exceeded at the end of the Acceptance Period, the Right to Sell-out will automatically expire upon completion of the Right of Squeeze-Out. As a result, the Offeror expects that completion of the Right to Squeeze-out process will precede the completion of the Right of Sell-out process. If completion of the Right to Sell-out process does not precede the completion of the Right of Squeeze-out out process, the Offeror intends to apply for the commencement of unconditional listing and trading on Euronext Amsterdam, Euronext Brussels, Euronext Lisbon and Euronext Paris of any Offeror Shares which may be issued as consideration pursuant to the Right to Sell-out as soon as practicable following completion of the Right to Sell-out process.

    If, following completion of the Tender Offer or after the exercise of the Right of Squeeze-out or the Right to Sell-out, as the case may be, the Offeror holds 95% of ATHEX’s share capital, the Offeror intends to request the convocation of a General Meeting of the Shareholders to resolve upon the submission of an application to the HCMC requesting the delisting of the ATHEX Shares from the Athens Stock Exchange, in accordance with article 17 paragraph 5 of Law 3371/2005, at which (General Meeting) the Offeror will exercise its voting rights in favor of such resolution.

    Plans for ATHEX and Euronext following the Tender Offer

    Embed ATHEX within a pan-European trading framework

    As part of the combined group, ATHEX will be able to join the Euronext Group’s single liquidity pool, enabled by a single order book and powered by a single technology platform, where members can access all its markets in a seamless manner, with the ambition of deepening investor interest and creating greater liquidity as well as fair and transparent markets. Today, more than €13 billion worth of equities are traded daily on the Offeror’s seven (7) European markets that are part of the single liquidity pool. Thanks to its highly flexible architecture, the Offeror expects to see reduced time to market for new products in the combined group. This integration aims to deepen investor interest, create greater liquidity, and ensure fair and transparent markets.

    Strengthen access to financing for Greek corporates

    With ATHEX joining the Euronext Group, Greece will become a key hub for listings under a harmonized framework, offering greater scale, visibility, and access to European liquidity. In addition to listing larger Greek companies, the Offeror will bolster its capabilities in financing Greek SMEs. The pan-European pre-IPO educational program “IPOready” will be deployed across Greece. This program has already enabled over 1,200 companies to understand the benefits of listing, resulting in 33 new listings (€1.6 billion raised at listing, €5.7 billion aggregate market cap at listing). The Offeror will also provide a platform for Greek companies to list debt, diversifying their financing sources.

    Following the successful completion of the Tender Offer, ATHEX will be incorporated into a trusted framework for European and international investors. The Offeror has a proven track record of delivering substantial benefits to the local ecosystems of acquired market operators.

    Reinforce the operating resiliency of the local capital markets

    The Offeror’s size and operational DNA enable it to operate within extremely high reliability standards. The Offeror is investing massively in market technology and has built the best-in-class technology operations with cyber-security excellence. The Offeror has been granted the highest security ratings in its recent annual technology audit performed by Bitsight. The Offeror is a technology business first and foremost, with more than 875 technology and operations employees (35% of total employees), mainly located in Milan, Porto and Paris. ATHEX will benefit from an immediate change in scale in terms of technology platforms and operations, notably from a fully integrated cybersecurity and operational framework operation ensuring maximum resilience of the Greek market in a world of increasingly complex technology threats.

    Create a unified post-trade infrastructure

    The Offeror relies on a single clearing house, clearing all of its European market flows across cash and derivatives products. As part of the combined group, the Offeror intends to expand Euronext Clearing, which centralizes clearing for the whole Euronext Group, and which has benefitted from significant investments over the past few years, to Greek securities. This central European clearing expansion is key to the integration of Greek markets within the Offeror’s framework.

    The Offeror relies on a converging technology framework to create the conditions of success for the custody and settlement of financial products across Europe. As part of the combined group, the CSD function of ATHEX will be part of Euronext Securities’ convergence program, aiming at delivering a unified post-trading core settlement service through a single platform for securities settlement (TARGET2-Securities or T2S) by leveraging the CSDs of the Euronext Group.

    ATHEX as the cornerstone of the Offeror in Southeast Europe

    As the largest exchange group in the highly dynamic Southeastern region of Europe, ATHEX is best placed to lead the Offeror’s expansion across the region. As part of the Euronext Group, ATHEX will be the cornerstone of the Offeror’s expansion in the region, where business opportunities are numerous.

    Greek ecosystem to be fully part of the Offeror’s governance and supervision

    After and subject to successful completion of the Tender Offer, the composition of the Offeror’s Supervisory Board and the structure of its corporate governance will be amended. Subject to the Offeror’s shareholders and regulatory approvals, an independent director representing the Greek ecosystem will join the Offeror’s Supervisory Board.

    In addition, the Chief Executive Officer of the ATHEX will join the Offeror’s Managing Board, subject to the Offeror shareholders’ and regulatory approvals.

    In terms of regulatory framework, the Offeror is supervised at group level by a College of Regulators. The College of Regulators is made up of the seven (7) national regulatory authorities supervising the respective Euronext’s national regulated markets. After and subject to Closing occurring, the Offeror will recommend inviting HCMC to join the Offeror’s College of Regulators, pari passu with the national regulatory authorities currently supervising the Offeror, with a rotating chair every semester to exercise supervision at group level of the combined group. The direct regulatory oversight of ATHEX and the Greek market will remain unchanged. This will allow HCMC to continue regulating ATHEX and the Greek market and be part of the supervision of ATHEX at group-level through the Offeror’s College of Regulators.

    Reunite complementary skills and expertise

    Should the potential combination occur, it could create opportunities for knowledge sharing, career development, and cross-functional collaboration, fostering an environment where talent thrives. Euronext would aim to cultivate an inclusive, collaborative, and entrepreneurial work environment. With a long-standing commitment to diversity and inclusion, Euronext believes that recognizing and valuing diversity benefits both employees and the business’s long-term success. Euronext would ensure that ATHEX employees have opportunities for career development, encouraging them to take on wider responsibilities and roles in the pan-European development of their activities. They would also be encouraged to explore opportunities across various locations to embrace new challenges within Euronext. The diversification of Euronext’s businesses would consistently offer opportunities for high-performing employees, not only in traditional exchange roles but also in new activities developed through the innovation program.

    Following the successful completion of the Tender Offer and upon approval of the ATHEX shareholders meeting, the Offeror intends to modify, subject to ATHEX’s shareholders approval by a simple majority, ATHEX’s trademark name. As such, it will operate under the name “Euronext Athens”, fully embedding the Greek financial infrastructure and creating a sense of togetherness.

Euronext’s statutory seat (statutaire zetel) is in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its registered office and principal place of business is at Beursplein 5, 1012 JW Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Company is registered with the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce for Amsterdam, the Netherlands, under number 60234520, and the telephone number is +31 (0)20-7214444. Euronext’s LEI is 724500QJ4QSZ3H9QU415 and its corporate website is https://www.euronext.com/en.

    Under its Articles of Association, the Offeror’s authorized share capital amounts to €200,000,001.60 and is divided into 125,000,000 Ordinary Shares, each with a nominal value of €1.60 and one priority share with a nominal value of €1.60. The priority share has not been issued. All of Euronext’s shares have been or will be issued under Dutch law.

    As of December 31st, 2024, the Offeror’s issued share capital amounted to €166,776,811.20 and was divided into 104,235,507 ordinary shares, whereas the Offeror held 1,475,395 treasury shares.

    On 11 March 2025, the Offeror announced the completion of its €300 million share repurchase programme for which 2,692,979 shares, or approximately 2.58% of Euronext’s share capital, were repurchased.

    Following the repurchase programme, and as of the cancellation of the purchased shares under this programme which is expected to occur on 5 August 2025, the Offeror’s issued share capital amounts to €162,468,044.80 and divided into 101,542,528 ordinary shares.

    On 22 May 2025, the Offeror launched an offering of bonds due 2032 convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares (“OCEANEs”) for a nominal amount of €425 million. Bondholders will be granted the right to convert or exchange the Bonds into new and/or existing Shares (the “Conversion/Exchange Right”) which they may exercise at any time from the 41st day (inclusive) following the Issue Date (30 May 2025) up to the 7th business day (inclusive) preceding the Maturity Date (30 May 2032) or, as the case may be, the relevant early redemption date. For illustrative purposes, considering a nominal amount of €425 million, a reference share price of €145 and a 32.5% conversion premium corresponding to the mid-point of the marketing range, the potential dilution would represent approximately 2.1% of the Company’s outstanding share capital, if the Conversion/Exchange Right was exercised for all the Bonds and the Company decided to deliver new Shares only upon exercise of the Conversion/Exchange Right.

    The Offeror is subject to the provisions of the Dutch Civil Code, the Dutch Financial Supervision Act and the Articles of Association with regard to the issue of shares following admission.

  • MIL-OSI: Shell plc publishes second quarter 2025 press release

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    London, July 31, 2025

    “Shell generated robust cash flows reflecting strong operational performance in a less favourable macro environment​. We continued to deliver on our strategy by enhancing our deep-water portfolio in Nigeria and Brazil, and achieved a key milestone by shipping the first cargo from LNG Canada.

    Our continued focus on performance, discipline and simplification helped deliver $3.9 billion of structural cost reductions since 2022, with the majority delivered through non-portfolio actions. This focus enables us to commence another $3.5 billion of buybacks for the next three months, the 15th consecutive quarter of at least $3 billion in buybacks.”

    Shell plc Chief Executive Officer, Wael Sawan

    ROBUST CASH GENERATION; STRONG OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

    • Adjusted Earnings1 of $4.3 billion despite lower trading contribution in a weaker margin environment.
    • Robust CFFO of $11.9 billion, supported by strong operational performance, enables commencement of another $3.5 billion share buyback programme for the next three months.

    ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE (NON-GAAP) MEASURES

    This announcement includes certain measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) such as IFRS, including Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA, CFFO excluding working capital movements, free cash flow, Divestment proceeds and Net debt. This information, along with comparable GAAP measures, is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring Shell plc’s operating performance and ability to retire debt and invest in new business opportunities. Shell plc’s management uses these financial measures, along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, in evaluating the business performance.

    This announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted Earnings and divestments. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of the company, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are estimated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.

    CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

    The companies in which Shell plc directly and indirectly owns investments are separate legal entities. In this announcement, “Shell”, “Shell Group” and “Group” are sometimes used for convenience to reference Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general. Likewise, the words “we”, “us” and “our” are also used to refer to Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general or to those who work for them. These terms are also used where no useful purpose is served by identifying the particular entity or entities. “Subsidiaries”, “Shell subsidiaries” and “Shell companies” as used in this announcement refer to entities over which Shell plc either directly or indirectly has control. The terms “joint venture”, “joint operations”, “joint arrangements”, and “associates” may also be used to refer to a commercial arrangement in which Shell has a direct or indirect ownership interest with one or more parties. The term “Shell interest” is used for convenience to indicate the direct and/or indirect ownership interest held by Shell in an entity or unincorporated joint arrangement, after exclusion of all third-party interest.

    This announcement contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of Shell. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Shell to market risks and statements expressing management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “aim”; “ambition”; “anticipate”; “aspire”; “aspiration”; ‘‘believe’’; “commit”; “commitment”; ‘‘could’’; “desire”; ‘‘estimate’’; ‘‘expect’’; ‘‘goals’’; ‘‘intend’’; ‘‘may’’; “milestones”; ‘‘objectives’’; ‘‘outlook’’; ‘‘plan’’; ‘‘probably’’; ‘‘project’’; ‘‘risks’’; “schedule”; ‘‘seek’’; ‘‘should’’; ‘‘target’’; “vision”; ‘‘will’’; “would” and similar terms and phrases. There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this announcement, including (without limitation): (a) price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas; (b) changes in demand for Shell’s products; (c) currency fluctuations; (d) drilling and production results; (e) reserves estimates; (f) loss of market share and industry competition; (g) environmental and physical risks, including climate change; (h) risks associated with the identification of suitable potential acquisition properties and targets, and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions; (i) the risk of doing business in developing countries and countries subject to international sanctions; (j) legislative, judicial, fiscal and regulatory developments including tariffs and regulatory measures addressing climate change; (k) economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions; (l) political risks, including the risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities, delays or advancements in the approval of projects and delays in the reimbursement for shared costs; (m) risks associated with the impact of pandemics, regional conflicts, such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the conflict in the Middle East, and a significant cyber security, data privacy or IT incident; (n) the pace of the energy transition; and (o) changes in trading conditions. No assurance is provided that future dividend payments will match or exceed previous dividend payments. All forward-looking statements contained in this announcement are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plc’s Form 20-F and amendment thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 (available at www.shell.com/investors/news-and-filings/sec-filings.html and www.sec.gov). These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this announcement and should be considered by the reader. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this announcement, July 31, 2025. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement.

    All amounts shown throughout this announcement are unaudited. The numbers presented throughout this announcement may not sum precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures, due to rounding.

    Shell’s Net Carbon Intensity

    Also, in this  announcement, we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

    Shell’s Net-Zero Emissions Target

    Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our Scope 1, Scope 2 and NCI targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.

    The content of websites referred to in this announcement does not form part of this announcement.

    We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this announcement that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F and any amendment thereto, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.

    The financial information presented in this announcement does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006 (the “Act”). Statutory accounts for the year ended December 31, 2024 were published in Shell’s Annual Report and Accounts, a copy of which was delivered to the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales. The auditor’s report on those accounts was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not contain a statement under sections 498(2) or 498(3) of the Act.

    The information in this announcement does not constitute the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which are contained in Shell’s second quarter 2025 unaudited results available on www.shell.com/investors.

    TOKYO, July 31 — A welcome ceremony has been held at the China Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka as the arrival of a Japanese family pushed the number of visitors to the pavilion over one million.

    On Wednesday afternoon, when Teruwa Asakawa and his family entered the China Pavilion, they were greeted with words of “Welcome the millionth visitor to the China Pavilion” displayed on a big screen and presented with a panda doll and other cultural and creative souvenirs as commemorative gifts.

    The Asakawa family said they were honored to be the one millionth visitor to the China Pavilion and praised the pavilion’s beautiful exterior design and rich exhibits, saying it “allowed us to deeply experience China’s profound historical and cultural heritage.”

    Director of the China Pavilion Zhang Shujing told Xinhua that since the opening of the Osaka Expo, the China Pavilion has consistently been one of the most popular pavilions, noting that welcoming its one millionth visitor is a significant moment worth celebrating.

    “The arrival of these one million visitors demonstrates the love and recognition that expo visitors worldwide have for the China Pavilion,” he added.

    As the expo enters its second half, the China Pavilion will continue to host a series of themed events featuring over a dozen provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, Zhang said, adding that “the China Pavilion will continue to attract more visitors with its rich exhibits, exciting activities, immersive experiences, and especially warm and thoughtful services, in a bid to showcase a true, beautiful, credible, lovable, and respectable image of China.”

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Increasing probate threshold for families

    Source: New Zealand Government

    The Government has agreed to increase the probate threshold from $15,000 to $40,000 to save families time and money when accessing assets of deceased loved ones, Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith says.

    “The threshold was last set in 2009 before the implementation of KiwiSaver. Most estates now include KiwiSaver balances well over $15,000, but still have to go through the High Court process. This results in a significant proportion of smaller estates being eaten up in court costs and legal fees. 

    “Executors need to be able to distribute lower-value assets, ensuring more of an estate goes to the beneficiaries, helping grieving families. The last thing they need is a costly legal process with extra paperwork to deal with.

    “I’m assured $40,000 is still sufficiently low enough to ensure there are still appropriate safeguards through the oversight of the High Court for higher value assets, to ensure against potential dishonesty, fraud, or the deceased person’s wishes not being followed.

    “The Ministry undertook targeted consultation with key stakeholders, including the law profession and financial services industry to gain feedback on an appropriate threshold level. 

    These changes will come into force on 24 September 2025.

  • All seven accused acquitted in 2008 Malegaon blast case by NIA court

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    In a major verdict, a special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court on Thursday acquitted all seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, including BJP MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt Colonel Prasad Shrikant Purohit.

    The court dropped all charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), the Arms Act, and the Indian Penal Code (IPC), citing lack of sufficient evidence.

    The blast occurred on September 29, 2008, when a bomb strapped to a motorcycle exploded near the Bhikku Chowk mosque in Malegaon, Nashik district, Maharashtra. The explosion took place during the holy month of Ramzan and just ahead of the Hindu festival of Navratri. It claimed six lives and injured over 100 people in the communally sensitive town.

    The verdict, delivered after nearly 17 years of legal proceedings, came in a packed courtroom where all accused were present as per the court’s direction. The court also ordered compensation of ₹2 lakh to the families of each of the six deceased and ₹50,000 to each injured victim.

    The trial involved a massive case file exceeding one lakh pages. Hearings concluded in April this year, and the court had reserved its judgment on April 19. Due to the scale and complexity of the case, the court took additional time to scrutinise the material thoroughly before pronouncing the verdict.

    During the trial, the prosecution examined 323 witnesses. However, 34 of them turned hostile, significantly weakening the prosecution’s case.

    The case was initially investigated by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), which arrested the accused and filed the first charge sheet. In 2011, the probe was transferred to the NIA, which filed a supplementary charge sheet in 2016, dropping charges against several accused, including Sadhvi Pragya, citing insufficient evidence under stringent anti-terror laws.

    All accused were out on bail during the trial. They had been facing serious charges including conspiracy, murder, and use of explosives under the UAPA and IPC.

    A South Korean court issued a warrant to arrest former President Yoon Suk-yeol to forcibly bring him in for questioning over allegations of election meddling, a special counsel team said Thursday.

    The warrant, which was issued by the Seoul Central District Court, had been requested by a team of independent counsel Min Joong-ki leading an investigation into corruption allegations that involve Yoon’s wife, Kim Keon-hee.

    Yoon, who has been detained on insurrection charges following his short-lived martial law imposition last December, defied twice the special counsel’s summons to appear for questioning.

    An assistant special counsel and a prosecutor were forecast to be sent to the Seoul Detention Center, where Yoon has been kept in custody, according to multiple media outlets.

    The ousted leader and his wife were suspected of receiving free opinion polls from self-proclaimed political broker Myung Tae-kyun ahead of the 2022 presidential election in exchange for the illegal nomination of a former People Power Party lawmaker in a parliamentary by-election later that year.

    Yoon was also suspected of making false statements during the 2021 presidential primaries about his wife’s alleged involvement in a stock price manipulation that constitutes an election law violation.

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: CFS announces test results of targeted surveillance on nutrition labelling of prepackaged sauce

    Source: Hong Kong Government special administrative region

    The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department today (July 31) released the test results of a targeted food surveillance project on the nutrition labelling of prepackaged sauce. Among 40 samples tested, including food items purchased online, one sample was found with protein content inconsistent with the declared value on its nutrition label, while the remaining 39 samples passed the test. 

    “The CFS collected samples from different retail outlets for the targeted food surveillance project. Tests were conducted to check if the energy content and specified nutrient content (total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, sugars, sodium, protein, carbohydrates, and more) are consistent with the declared values on their nutrition labels. The food labels were also checked to see if they comply with relevant requirements under the laws,” a spokesman for the CFS said.

    The CFS has announced the irregularity in the actual nutrient content earlier. The vendor concerned has also stopped selling the relevant batches of the affected product. Prosecution will be instituted should there be sufficient evidence. 

    The Food and Drugs (Composition and Labelling) Regulations (Cap. 132W) require all applicable prepackaged foods to list the ingredients and the content of energy plus seven core nutrients, namely carbohydrates, protein, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, sodium and sugars, and regulate any associated nutrition claims. 

    Nutrition labelling can assist consumers in making informed food choices, encourage food manufacturers to apply sound nutrition principles in the formulation of foods, and regulate misleading or deceptive labels and claims. According to Section 61 of the Public Health and Municipal Services Ordinance (Cap. 132), if any person falsely describes food or misleads as to the nature, substance or quality of the food on a label of the food sold by him or her, he or she shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a maximum fine of $50,000 and six months’ imprisonment upon conviction.

    The CFS will continue to conduct surveillance on other food samples to check if their energy content and specified nutrient content are consistent with the declared values on their nutrition labels, and the results will be released in due course. The spokesman reminded the food trade to comply with the law, and urged members of the public to pay attention to the information on nutrition labels when purchasing food to make informed food choices to achieve a balanced diet and stay healthy.

    Sections of Northbourne Avenue near the light rail construction site will be closed from 8pm tomorrow night to allow for complex underground service upgrades and installation works.

    The works under Northbourne Avenue are needed to prepare utilities for light rail and to improve the stormwater drainage in the city.

    The schedule for changes to the road environment includes:

    From 8pm Friday 1 August until 6am Monday 4 August 2025: Northbourne Avenue will be closed southbound between Cooyong Street intersection and Vernon Circle.

    From 8pm Friday 8 August until 6am Monday 11 August 2025: Northbourne Avenue will be closed northbound between Rudd Street intersection and Vernon Circle.

    Over these weekends, works will occur at the intersection of London Circuit and Northbourne Avenue and at the intersection of Alinga Street and Northbourne Avenue.

    Alternative detour routes during the southbound closures are via Wakefield and Limestone Avenues to Parkes Way and Kings Avenue, Cooyong and Coranderrk Streets to Commonwealth Avenue, and Barry Drive and Clunies Ross Street to Parkes Way.

    During the northbound closures, alternative detour routes are via Commonwealth Avenue via Edinburgh Avenue to Barry Drive, Commonwealth Avenue to Constitution Avenue, and Kings Avenue via Parkes Way to Cooyong Street.

    We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate the community’s patience while these vital works take place.

    Other intermittent weekend closures will be required until mid-2026. One carriageway of Northbourne Avenue will remain open at all times to reduce the impact to the traffic network. The community will be notified in advance about further closures and traffic changes as the works progress.

    This is a significant step forward as we begin connecting the newly laid services from London Circuit East, under Northbourne Avenue through to London Circuit West.

    Once utilities and stormwater are in place, civil and services works on the track and light rail stops will start later this year. Works will take place on weekends to minimise the impact to commuters.

    There’s anticipated to be no impacts to bus services or the city bus interchange in August 2025.

    Visit act.gov.au/builtforcbr/travel-impacts for more detailed information. GPS navigation applications will also be updated to reflect the changed network and detours.
