These shares pertain to the 2008-2010 performance period.  The number of shares/
ADSs set out above is the maximum number which may vest under the Award.  The
actual number of shares/ADSs which vest will depend on the extent to which
performance conditions have been satisfied over a three-year period ending 31
December 2010.  These performance conditions remain as described in the summary
of the Plan set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report which is contained in
BP's Annual Report and Accounts 2007.  In addition, each Director will be
entitled to additional shares/ADSs representing the value of reinvested
dividends on those shares/ADSs which vest.



The Company also announces that on 13 February 2008, the Remuneration Committee
have also awarded to each of Mr Conn and Mr Inglis, 266,904 ordinary shares
under the Plan as a one-off retention award.  The award comprises two equal
tranches of 133,452 shares which will vest on the third and fifth anniversaries
of the award, respectively.  Vesting of each tranche is dependent on the
Remuneration Committee being satisfied as to their personal performance as at
the date of vesting.  Any unvested tranche will generally lapse in the event of
such director's cessation of employment with the Company.
