BP P.L.C. NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
BP p.l.c. ('the Company') announces that the Notice of Meeting for the Company's 2020 Annual General Meeting ('AGM') has been published today.
The Notice of Meeting for the 2020 AGM is available at www.bp.com/notice. Copies of the Notice, the proxy card and the notification of availability have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/nsm
Shareholders should be aware that arrangements for the AGM may be forced to change at short notice. The Company has now been notified that ExCeL London is unlikely to be available to host the AGM.
Currently, travel is heavily restricted and large gatherings are prohibited to protect public health. During this unprecedented crisis, we appreciate the need for the Government to take extraordinary measures to fight the spread of this pandemic.
We are now considering suitable alternative venue arrangements for the AGM and will provide shareholders with updated plans as soon as possible.
Given the current restrictions, we strongly encourage shareholders to submit voting instructions to the Company ahead of the voting deadline, as attending the AGM in person may not be possible.
Please visit www.bp.com/agm for the latest information.
