The following table reflects the cash dividends paid per ADS by BP between 1998 and 2009.

These figures have been adjusted for the BP Amoco 2-for-1 stock split of October 4, 1999, which doubled the number of shares in issue.

During the course of 2008, BP p.l.c. voluntarily delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange, due to extremely low activity volume and to streamline its share listing arrangements. One result of the change was to discontinue the provision of a separate Canadian transfer agent and cease Canadian dollar dividend payments, effective 2009.

For dividends paid prior to May 1, 2004, the US/UK Tax Treaty provided for a tax credit, deemed paid to qualifying ADS holders, that was exactly offset by an amount deemed by the Treaty to be a UK withholding tax. A new US/UK Tax Treaty became effective May 1, 2003, with a phase-in period ending April 30, 2004. One aspect of the new Treaty is the elimination of the deemed tax credit and associated withholding tax. For this reason, there has been no foreign tax withheld from our dividends since the March 2004 payment.
