Shell will no longer give press conferences when presenting its annual and quarterly results. Only financial analysts will be allowed at the presentation of the oil and gas giant’s third-quarter results and future presentations. Journalists will be allowed to call in and listen but not ask questions, Financieele Dagblad reports.
As per the 1st sentence of the article, it’s less about being there but about asking questions:

Shareholders can ask questions at shareholders meetings
Realistically though they will only address the questions from the biggest shareholders.
