BP p.l.c.
Second quarter interim dividend for 2018
Allotments for Scrip Dividend Programme
Ordinary shares
BP p.l.c. confirms it will allot and issue 89,859,998 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 2018, payable on 21 September 2018. 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 21,431,605,640 of which 1,373,272,955 are
held as treasury shares leaving a balance of 20,058,332,685
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 21 September 2018.
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, 2,087,059.72 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 21
September 2018.
