Notification of transactions of persons discharging managerial responsibility or connected persons

EDIP performance shares 2026-2028 award

BP p.l.c. (the "Company") announces that, on 29 April 2026, conditional performance share awards (the "Awards") were made under the bp Executive Directors' Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Awards were made in accordance with the rules of the Plan and the 2026 directors' remuneration policy (the "Policy") and as provided for in the 2025 directors' remuneration report (the "Report"), both of which were approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held on 23 April 2026.

Level of award

The People & Remuneration Committee (the "Committee") has made these Awards at 500% of base salary for the chief executive officer (pro-rated to her employment start date of 1 April 2026) and the deputy chief executive officer and at 450% of base salary for the chief financial officer, in line with the Policy. In calculating the number of bp shares over which these Awards have been made, the Committee has applied the average price of bp shares over the 90 calendar days up to and including the AGM that was held on 23 April 2026 (£5.18).

The Committee retains absolute discretion to adjust the formulaic outcome at the time of vesting of the Awards where it considers that outcome does not appropriately reflect shareholder experience over the performance period.

Performance conditions

As set out in the Policy and Report, Awards are subject to a three‑year performance period and will vest on the Vesting Date, being the later of the third anniversary of grant and the determination of performance against a combination of the following financial and strategic measures:

·    Relative total shareholder return (30%) assessed against a benchmarking group, comprising Chevron, Eni, ExxonMobil, Shell and TotalEnergies;

·    Return on average capital employed (25%);

·    Adjusted free cash flow (25%); and

·    Cumulative reduction percentage in operated carbon emissions (20%).
