Fourth quarter interim dividend for 2019
Payments of dividends in sterling
On 4 February 2020, the Directors of BP p.l.c. announced that the
interim dividend for the fourth quarter 2019 would be US$0.1050 per
ordinary share (US$0.630 per ADS). This interim dividend is to be
paid on 27 March 2020 to shareholders on the share register on 14
February 2020. The dividend is payable in cash in sterling to
holders of ordinary shares and in US dollars to holders of ADSs.
The board decided not to offer a scrip dividend alternative in
respect of the fourth quarter 2019 dividend. Dividend reinvestment
plans have been made available for this dividend for ordinary
shareholders and ADS holders (subject to certain exceptions) to
receive additional BP shares.
Sterling dividends payable in cash will be converted from
US dollars at an average of the market exchange rate over the
four dealing days from 10 to 13 March 2020 (£1 = US$1.28742).
Accordingly, the amount of sterling dividend payable in cash on 27
March 2020 will be:
8.1558 pence per share.
Details of the fourth quarter dividend and timetable are available
at bp.com/dividends.
