Fourth quarter interim dividend for 2020
Payments of dividends in sterling
On 2 February 2021, the Directors of BP p.l.c. announced that the
interim dividend for the fourth quarter 2020 would be US$0.0525 per
ordinary share (US$0.315 per ADS). This interim dividend is
to be paid on 26 March 2021 to shareholders on the share register
on 19 February 2021. The dividend is payable in cash
in sterling to holders of ordinary shares and in US dollars to
holders of ADSs. The board has decided not to offer a scrip
dividend alternative in respect of the fourth quarter 2020
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 9 to 12 March 2021 (£1 = US$1.39317).
Accordingly, the amount of sterling dividend payable in cash on 26
March 2021 will be:
3.7684 pence per share.
Details of the fourth quarter dividend and timetable are available
at bp.com/dividends.
