Cairo: Shell plc has appointed Dalia El Gabry as the new Vice President and Country Chair for Shell Egypt N.V. (Shell Egypt), effective 1st December, 2023. El Gabry will be replacing Khaled Kacem, who has been leading the Shell business in Egypt for the past four and a half years.

In her most recent role as Commercial General Manager for Shell Egypt, Dalia El Gabry contributed to the design of Shell Egypt's growth strategy, driving integration across businesses, and enhancing stakeholder management. Dalia led commercial negotiations of several business development opportunities and nurtured deep trust with partners and stakeholders. Dalia is also an avid champion of diversity, equity and inclusivity in the workplace.

El Gabry has 28 years of experience at Shell across Integrated Gas & Upstream, Downstream, and Projects & Technology. El Gabry has held several international assignments with Shell in Norway, Morocco, The Netherlands, South Africa and Qatar. She also previously held senior leadership roles in Finance, as the Managing Director of former Shell joint venture, Bapetco.

El Gabry said: “I am honored to be taking on the role of Vice President and Country Chair of Shell Egypt at such an exciting and crucial time as we accelerate our business activities to achieve the desired growth aspirations. I am deeply committed to steering Shell’s efforts to support Egypt’s vision and ongoing initiatives to unlock the full potential of the energy sector as an engine for national growth and sustainable development. I would also like to thank Khaled Kacem for his leadership, commitment, passion and care for people.”

Khaled Kacem leaves behind a proud legacy. Under his stewardship, Shell Egypt significantly expanded its activities, paving the way for a solid growth trajectory. During his tenure, Shell Egypt optimised production from existing assets, sanctioned further development phases, increased its offshore exploration footprint, launched an ambitious deep-water exploration programme in the Nile Delta and initiated several business development activities.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2022 (available at www.shell.com/investor 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, December 3, 2023. 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.

Shell’s net carbon intensity

Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity”, which include 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 only controls its own emissions. The use of the term Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity” 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, outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Net Carbon Intensity (NCI) targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCI target, as these targets are currently outside our planning period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans 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 announcement may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as cash capital expenditure 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 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.

The contents of websites referred to in this announcement do 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, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.
