Payments of dividends in sterling

On 30 October 2012, the Directors of BP p.l.c. announced that the interim dividend for the third quarter 2012 would be US$0.09 per ordinary share (US$0.54 per ADS).

The dividend is payable in cash in sterling to holders of ordinary shares and in US dollars to holders of ADSs.
