As a consideration for giving the Royal Dutch the 'practical control of the business, it is expressly provided that for a period of ten years from Jan. 1, 1907, the first £375,000 of profits available for dividend in teach year shall be dealt with as follows:-(1) The first £50,000 is togoto the Shell Company; (3) then £12,000 to the Royal Dutch Company; (1) then £100,000 to the Shell Company: (4) then L213,000 to the Royal Dutch; making a total of 60 per cent. of £375,000 to the Royal Dutch, and 40 per cent, to the Shell Company. Any deficit in the payment of this do per cent. to the Royal Dutch.or 40 per cent. to the Shell Company, in any year or years is to be made up out of the surplus profits of subsequent years before any further dividend beyond the £375,000 is payable.

I believe the concise details, which have thus given will enable every shareholder to grasp the bearing of the combine, and 1 wish distinctly to declare that it is a defensive, and not an offensive alliance, but it must be quite obvious that we ́. are in a better position to make thesties or to conduct our own defence, when acting in perfect unison, than, when we are obliged to consider conflicting interests. There are,two, points which require explanation. The first is the item of £285,000, the remaining liabilities of the Shell Company, which arise, of course, principally from the fact that we have under- taken to find £200,000 of new working capith) for the combine, but I think it will be a spurce of great gratification to the shareholders, to find that the fionncial position of the company is so sound as to have enabled them to discharge the whole of their outstanding abilities out of their own resources with the exception of about £150,000. It is quite Impossible for us to state definitely the amount of the Shell Com pany's requirements until the books (or 1906 am. made up. They will probably amount to £350,000, but upon this, as 10 £280,000, they receive 5 per cent interest from the new company, and I do not think I am at All sanguine in predicting that, without .. duly trenching upon our dividends, wa shall be able to discharge the debt in a very short tide The directors have made arrangements to borrow the sum required an an ordinary debt at 5 per cent, per annum to be repaid, at the convenience of the company. The next point is that, the preference share. holders obtain for a period of ten years a prior right to their "dividend on the eamings of the whole combine, whilst they have, of course, in perpeculty the first claim upon the shares of the Shell Company.
