LONDON, April 16 /PRNewswire/ --     Computershare (ASX:CPU) and Shell (NYSE:RDS.A) are delighted to announce
that Shell has been awarded the 'Best Use of Technology' accolade for its
ambitious and ground breaking global tax calculator at the 7th annual Global
Equity Organization Awards.

Taking place in San Francisco this year, the awards recognise innovation
and achievement in the share plan industry, focusing specifically on how
technology is used to develop appropriate and comprehensive technological
solutions to share plan administration, communication, and internal project
management.

During 2006 and 2007 Computershare, along with Deloitte, devised a
completely new and automated system of handling the tax implications of share
plan membership for 15,000 employees across 120 countries.

This automated solution is capable of performing a large number of
simultaneous tax calculations, enabling participants to receive net proceeds
in most countries and in most currencies within three working days. It also
enables Shell to make tax withholding payments to various authorities within
the required time frame.

"Shell's business is all about facing and conquering challenges. In
Computershare, we have a partner with the people and the capability to share
our approach," commented Pam Roffe, Manager, Global Stock Plans, Royal Dutch
Shell plc. "We are really pleased to have received this award."

Iain Wilson, Head of Business Development for Computershare Plan
Managers, said: "We are delighted that GEO has recognised Computershare's
work with Shell as the 'Best Use of Technology' in the world of global
equity. The Shell global tax calculator is unique in that we deliver
Deloitte's tax expertise to each plan member instantly, at the click of a
mouse. In combining tax compliance with an excellent service to employees,
this service is a triumph that has very quickly become the benchmark for the
industry."

The award comes on the back of an extremely successful 18 months for
Computershare's plans business - Computershare was also behind the creation
of BHP's Global Share Plan, Shareplus, the recipient of a GEO and two ifs
ProShare awards for its effectiveness and originality.
