BP p.l.c.

Second quarter interim dividend for 2019

Allotments for Scrip Dividend Programme

Ordinary shares

BP p.l.c. announces that on 20 September 2019 it will allot and issue 72,482,336 ordinary shares of US$0.25 each ('shares') to shareholders who elected to receive ordinary shares (ISIN number GB0007980591) under the Scrip Dividend Programme as an alternative for the second quarter interim dividend for 2019, payable on 20 September 2019. This allotment and issue includes the election made by the Depositary, JPMorgan Chase Bank in order to issue ADSs to ADS holders who elected to receive ADSs under the Scrip Dividend Programme, as outlined below. The shares rank pari passu with the existing issued ordinary shares of BP p.l.c.

Following the issue of the above shares, the number of ordinary shares in issue will be 21,681,877,745 of which 1,255,039,152 are held as treasury shares leaving a balance of 20,426,838,593 ordinary shares with voting rights.

Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority for the shares to be admitted to the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for the shares to be admitted to trading. Dealings in the shares are expected to commence on 20 September 2019.

American Depositary Shares ('ADSs')

In accordance with the terms of the Scrip Dividend Programme for ADS holders and the Deposit Agreement between BP p.l.c. and the Depositary, JPMorgan Chase Bank, 3,236,305.37 ADSs (ISIN number US0556221044) (each representing 6 ordinary shares) are to be issued to ADS holders who elected to receive ADSs under the Scrip Dividend Programme. This number reflects an adjustment for the fee payable to the Depositary under the Deposit Agreement ($0.05 per ADS). Prior to the 2012 first quarter dividend payment stamp duty reserve tax ("SDRT") of 1.5% was deducted from this calculation, but following a tax tribunal decision in 2012, HM Revenue & Customs will no longer seek to impose 1.5% SDRT on issues of UK shares and securities to non-EU clearance services and depositary receipt systems. Application has been made to the New York Stock Exchange for the listing of the ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange. Dealings in the ADSs are expected to commence on 20 September 2019.

Details of the second quarter 2019 dividend are available at www.bp.com/dividends and details of the Scrip Dividend Programme are available at www.bp.com/scrip.
