PROXY advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Service (ISS) recommended shareholders support Royal Dutch Shell's plan to move its headquarters from the Netherlands to Britain, according to Reuters.

Shell is also set to scrap its dual Anglo-Dutch share structure and ditch the "Royal Dutch" part of its name, which it has held for 114 years.

"The company has provided compelling rationale which explains the benefits of the simplification of its share structure," ISS said in a note.

Shareholders will vote on the changes at a special general meeting on 10 December, where the resolution needs to secure 75 per cent approval.
