Your communication options explained

BP regularly reviews ways to improve and

make communication with shareholders more efficient. From 2017 we are no longer publishing a summary document containing the Strategic Report. Further, we are no longer sending paper proxy cards to shareholders unless specifically requested by them to do so.

We are therefore asking shareholders to let us know how they now wish to receive these documents and other shareholder communications.

Paper copies

If you wish to automatically receive paper copies of forms or reports in the future, please complete the form overleaf or indicate your preference by visiting the BP Share Centre at mybpshares.com.

The BP Annual Report and Form 20-F is a large document of around 300 pages and you are strongly encouraged to view it online rather than requesting a paper copy.

Online voting

Voting online is quick and simple. A BP Share Centre account is not required to vote although there are many advantages to setting one up. Voting online and receiving your documents electronically is encouraged by BP as it saves money and reduces environmental impact. However we understand that some shareholders require a paper proxy form, so that option remains available.
