RNS Number : 6555C BP PLC 30 April 2026
BP p.l.c.
Notification of transactions of persons discharging managerial responsibility
or connected persons
EDIP performance shares 2026-2028 award
BP p.l.c. (the "Company") announces that, on 29 April 2026, conditional
performance share awards (the "Awards") were made under the bp Executive
Directors' Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Awards were made in accordance
with the rules of the Plan and the 2026 directors' remuneration policy (the
"Policy") and as provided for in the 2025 directors' remuneration report (the
"Report"), both of which were approved by shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting ("AGM") held on 23 April 2026.
Level of award
The People & Remuneration Committee (the "Committee") has made these
Awards at 500% of base salary for the chief executive officer (pro-rated to
her employment start date of 1 April 2026) and the deputy chief executive
officer and at 450% of base salary for the chief financial officer, in line
with the Policy. In calculating the number of bp shares over which these
Awards have been made, the Committee has applied the average price of bp
shares over the 90 calendar days up to and including the AGM that was held on
23 April 2026 (£5.18).
The Committee retains absolute discretion to adjust the formulaic outcome at
the time of vesting of the Awards where it considers that outcome does not
appropriately reflect shareholder experience over the performance period.
Performance conditions
As set out in the Policy and Report, Awards are subject to a three‑year
performance period and will vest on the Vesting Date, being the later of the
third anniversary of grant and the determination of performance against a
combination of the following financial and strategic measures:
· Relative total shareholder return (30%) assessed against a
benchmarking group, comprising Chevron, Eni, ExxonMobil, Shell and
TotalEnergies;
· Return on average capital employed (25%);
· Adjusted free cash flow (25%); and
· Cumulative reduction percentage in operated carbon emissions (20%).
Number of shares subject to award
Name Award
Meg O'Neill* 1,415,701 ordinary shares
Carol Howle** 1,455,598 ordinary shares
Kate Thomson 776,640 ordinary shares
* The award has been pro-rated to reflect Ms O'Neill's employment start date
of 1 April 2026.
** Although as deputy chief executive officer Carol Howle is not an executive
director, she is eligible to receive the Awards in line with the Policy and
Report.
Upon vesting at the Vesting Date, any vested shares will normally be subject
to a further three‑year retention period ending on the sixth anniversary of
the commencement of the performance period (31 December 2031).
