Payments of dividends in sterling

 

On 7 February 2017, the Directors of BP p.l.c. announced that the interim dividend for the fourth quarter 2016 would be US$0.10 per ordinary share (US$0.60 per ADS). This interim dividend is to be paid on 31 March 2017 to shareholders on the share register on 17 February 2017. The dividend is payable in cash in sterling to holders of ordinary shares and in US dollars to holders of ADSs.
