Payments of dividends in sterling
 
On 30 July 2019, the Directors of BP p.l.c. announced that the interim dividend for the second quarter 2019 would be US$0.1025 per ordinary share (US$0.615 per ADS). This interim dividend is to be paid on 20 September 2019 to shareholders on the share register on 9 August 2019. The dividend is payable in cash in sterling to holders of ordinary shares and in US dollars to holders of ADSs. A scrip dividend alternative has been made available for this dividend allowing shareholders to elect to receive their dividend in the form of new ordinary shares and ADS holders in the form of new ADSs.
 
Sterling dividends payable in cash will be converted from US dollars at an average of the market exchange rate over the four dealing days from 4 to 9 September 2019 (£1 = US$1.22791). Accordingly, the amount of sterling dividend payable in cash on 20 September 2019 will be:
