Shell plc (NYSE: SHEL) announced it will file amendments to its 2023 and 2024 Form 20-Fs due to Ernst & Young LLP's (EY) non-compliance with SEC auditor independence rules.

Despite this compliance issue, Shell emphasized that no changes are required to the previously issued financial statements for 2023 and 2024. EY has assigned a new lead audit partner and will issue new US audit opinions, which remain unqualified. The company will file the amended Form 20-Fs with the SEC on July 2, 2025.
