Royal Dutch Shell Plc said it was under investigation by U.S. authorities for potential breaches of overseas bribery rules.

A copy of the report is available on its website at: http://www-static.shell.com/static/investor/downloads/financial_information/reports/2008/2008_annual_review.pdf

Last year Shell said a U.S. subsidiary had been contacted by the DoJ about potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
