A letter from Carl-Henric Svanberg, Chairman

I am pleased to invite you to BP’s 104th Annual General Meeting 2013. The meeting will be held at ExCeL, London on Thursday, 11 April 2013 and will start at 11.30 a.m. If you cannot attend the meeting, I would urge you to vote your shares in advance. You can also join a growing number of shareholders who are watching the webcast.

Information

Information about the meeting and BP’s performance last year can be found on our website. The links overleaf tell you where to find key information about the company and I hope these documents will answer your questions about the Board and its activities during the year. Most of our shareholders now access this material on the web rather than in paper form, which helps us to reduce the cost and environmental impact of providing this information. We can reduce this impact even further if you provide us with an email address, so we can send you email notifications rather than paper cards. You can vote online too, using the code printed on your proxy card.

New Registrar

BP has a new Registrar, Capita. We are working with them to enhance shareholder services and to help you manage your shareholdings easily and efficiently. You can register to manage your shareholding online at the BP Share Centre www.mybpshares.com, and be able to view your shareholding, manage your dividend payments and vote your shares.

Voting

Your votes matter. The Board recommends that you support each of the Resolutions.

On behalf of the Board, I look forward to welcoming you to BP’s Annual General Meeting 2013.

Carl-Henric Svanberg
Chairman
