and each a Series), each guaranteed by BP p.l.c. (the Parent), to
tender their Notes for purchase by the Offeror for cash (each such
invitation an Offer and together the Offers).
The Offers expired at 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 22 September
2021 (the Expiration Deadline) and the Offeror now announces the
indicative results of the Offers.
The Offers were made on the terms and subject to the conditions
contained in the tender offer memorandum dated 16 September 2021
(the Tender Offer Memorandum) prepared by the Offeror. Capitalised
terms used in this announcement but not defined have the meanings
given to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum.
Indicative Series Acceptance Amounts
The Offeror announces that, in the event that it decides to
accept valid tenders of Notes of any Series pursuant to the
relevant Offer(s), it expects to accept all valid tenders in full
with no pro rata scaling, except for the April 2024 Notes and the
March 2025 Notes, where it does not expect to accept any valid
tenders. Accordingly, the Offeror expects that each Series
Acceptance Amount will be set as follows :
Priority Level Notes Indicative Series Acceptance
Amount
--------------- ------------------- -----------------------------
1 August 2023 Notes GBP66,357,000
1 January 2024 Notes EUR40,692,000
1 July 2024 Notes EUR40,133,000
1 2026 Notes GBP223,838,000
1 2027 Notes EUR618,780,000
February 2023
2 Notes EUR53,919,000
2 April 2024 Notes EUR0
September 2024
2 Notes EUR40,244,000
2 March 2025 Notes EUR0
2 June 2025 Notes EUR30,779,000
Therefore the aggregate US Dollar Equivalent of the nominal
amount of Priority Level 1 Notes the Offeror expects to accept is
approximately US$1,217 million and the aggregate US Dollar
Equivalent of the nominal amount of Priority Level 2 Notes the
Offeror expects to accept is approximately US$147 million ,
converted at the Applicable Euro/US Dollar Exchange Rate or the
Applicable Sterling/US Dollar Exchange Rate, as the case may be
.
Noteholders should note that this is a non-binding indication of
the levels at which the Offeror expects to set each Series
Acceptance Amount.
Pricing and Settlement
Pricing for the Offers will take place at or around (i) 9.00
a.m. (London time) today (the Sterling Pricing Time) in the case of
each Series of Sterling-denominated Notes; and (ii) 11.00 a.m.
(London time) today (the Euro Pricing Time) in the case of each
other Series of Fixed Purchase Spread Notes. As soon as reasonably
practicable after the Euro Pricing Time, the Offeror will announce
whether it will accept valid tenders of Notes pursuant to all or
any of the Offers and, if so accepted, each Series Acceptance
Amount, the Purchase Yield for each Series of Fixed Purchase Spread
Notes, each Benchmark Rate, each Purchase Price, the Applicable
Euro/US Dollar Exchange Rate and the Applicable Sterling/US Dollar
Exchange Rate.
The Settlement Date in respect of any Notes accepted for
purchase pursuant to the relevant Offers is expected to be 24

relevant Offers will be cancelled.
