The Performance Share Award
These shares pertain to the 2013-2015 performance period. The number of ordinary shares/ADSs set out above is the maximum number which may vest under the Award. The actual number of ordinary shares/ADSs which vest will depend on the extent to which performance conditions have been satisfied over a three-year period ending 31 December 2015. These performance conditions are consistent with the rules of the Plan, a summary of which will be set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report contained in BP's Annual Report and Form 20-F 2012. Each Director will be entitled to additional ordinary shares/ADSs representing the value of reinvested dividends on those ordinary shares/ADSs which vest.
The Deferred Matching Award
This is a conditional award consisting of one-third of a director's annual bonus which is required to be deferred into ordinary shares/ADSs (the "Compulsory Award") and any further portion of the director's annual bonus up to an additional one-third which the director may choose to defer into ordinary shares/ADSs (the "Voluntary Award"). Both the Compulsory Award and Voluntary Award are matched on a one-for-one basis (with the matched shares included in the Deferred Matching Awards referred to above) and will vest depending on the Remuneration Committee's assessment of the Company's safety and environmental sustainability over a three-year period, commencing on 1 January 2013 and ending on 31 December 2015. These performance conditions are consistent with the rules of the Plan, a summary of which will be set out in the Directors' Remuneration Report contained in BP's Annual Report and Form 20-F 2012. Each Director will be entitled to additional ordinary shares/ADSs representing the value of reinvested dividends on those ordinary shares/ADSs which vest.
