Information on what and how we communicate and the option to sign up for e-Delivery

BP is statutorily required to prepare and distribute the following documents:

Annual Report and Form 20-F - this document constitutes the Annual Report and Accounts in accordance with UK requirements and the Annual Report on Form 20-F in accordance with US requirements.
Summary Review - this is a shorter summarised version of the Annual Report and Form 20-F that conforms to UK requirements.
Notice of BP Annual General Meeting and details of how to vote on the resolutions to be considered at the Annual General Meeting.

BP uses website communication as the primary method of distributing these documents to our shareholders. In addition, BP announces financial results on a quarterly basis and these can also be viewed on our website. There is no statutory requirement for BP to provide hard copies of the results to shareholders or to send you a notification each time they are published.

We provide relevant tax documentation to shareholders when a dividend is paid. Information about the current dividend timetable is available at:

You can view regulatory announcements, strategy presentations and other information on our website. You can also register separately for BP news and updates. Please follow the links on the top right hand side for more information and to register for email alerts on various BP topics.

Each time we publish a document that we are statutorily required to circulate to shareholders we will either:

send you an e-mail if we have your e-mail address (we refer to this as e-Delivery); or
send you a paper copy of the document if you have specifically requested hard copies; or
send you a paper notification of the publication and a link to where you can find the document on our website in the post if you have neither provided an e-mail address nor asked for hard copy documents.

If you have requested paper copies, we would normally send you the Summary Review unless you have requested the full Annual Report and Form 20-F.
