Notice of Meeting

Dear fellow shareholders,

I am pleased to invite you to the 2025 AGM of BP p.l.c. (bp or the company) to be held on Thursday 17 April 2025 at 11am British Summer Time (BST) . 

Welcoming you to the meeting

The AGM is an important engagement opportunity in the company’s calendar. As in 2024, I look forward to welcoming those attending the meeting back to our flagship International Centre for Business and Technology (ICBT) in Sunbury.

The AGM is an opportunity to hear from you, our owners, to answer your questions on the business of the meeting and to update you on the progress bp has been making. At the AGM, we are able to engage with you directly, with all legitimate interests to be represented, without fear of distraction or disruption.

Business of the meeting 

The resolutions proposed at the AGM are set out in this Notice, together with explanatory notes in each case. The board believes that all resolutions are in the best interests of the company and its shareholders.

The board is unanimous in recommending you vote in favour of each of them, as we intend to do ourselves, as fellow shareholders. At the AGM, we will reflect on 2024 and look ahead to the future. Details of our performance and our strategy are set out in our Annual Report and Form 20-F 2024 which can be accessed here: bp.com/annualreport. 

I will be joined by our CEO, Murray Auchincloss, CFO, Kate Thomson, senior independent director, Dame Amanda Blanc and chair of the audit and remuneration committees, Tushar Morzaria. 

I am pleased that Ian Tyler will join the board, effective 1 April. Ian has a strong track record in executive and non-executive roles, including remuneration leadership in some of the UK’s largest quoted companies. He will bring insight, knowledge and a valuable focus on performance, drawing on experience from multiple industries. The board recommends Ian for election at this AGM as the chair of the remuneration committee. 

Following the strategy announcement, the board will continue its work to identify new board members who will bring the additional skills and experience bp needs as it embarks on the next chapter.

Voting and asking questions 

We value your input and look forward to your questions. Full details of how to raise them and submit your votes are set out in this Notice. And even if you cannot join us on the day, I encourage you all to participate by voting your shares – your votes do matter. 

If you are a participant in a bp employee share plan, you can also refer to information provided through bp’s internal communications channels on how to submit your votes. 

The voting results will be announced through a regulatory information service and will be published on our website at bp.com/agm as soon as practicable following the AGM.

On behalf of your board, I would like to thank you for your continued support and look forward to welcoming you to our AGM.

Helge Lund
