Bp Plc SEC Filings

BP p.l.c. filed a Form 6-K summarizing recent insider share dealings and confirming its fourth quarter 2025 interim dividend. The dividend is US$0.0832 per ordinary share and US$0.4992 per ADS, payable on 27 March 2026 to holders on the 20 February 2026 register.

The cash dividend for ordinary shares will be paid in sterling, with the amount set at 6.2260 pence per share using an exchange rate of £1 = US$1.33634. No scrip dividend alternative is offered, though dividend reinvestment plans are available.

The filing also lists several Article 19 Market Abuse Regulation notifications, including small share acquisitions by the interim CEO and CFO via the BP ShareMatch UK Plan, and sales of ordinary shares and ADSs by senior executives and a person closely associated on the London and New York stock exchanges.

BP has agreed to sell its Gelsenkirchen refinery and related businesses to Klesch Group, further simplifying its portfolio and reshaping its refining footprint. The refinery processes about 12 million tonnes of crude per year and employs roughly 1,800 people, who are expected to transfer to the new owner.

The deal enables bp to remove associated liabilities and is described as strengthening the balance sheet and being free cash flow accretive based on historical performance. BP has raised its 2027 structural cost reduction target to $6.5 to $7.5 billion, including around $1 billion of underlying operating expenditure savings linked to Gelsenkirchen, equivalent to about 30 percent of its 2023 cost baseline. Completion is targeted for the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory and governmental approvals and customary closing adjustments.

BP p.l.c. has announced several changes to its board of directors to take effect at the conclusion of its annual general meeting on 23 April 2026. After nine years as a non-executive director, Melody Meyer will retire from the board at that time.

Non-executive directors Karen Richardson and Simon Henry have told the board they will not seek election or re-election at the 2026 AGM and will also step down when the meeting concludes. BP will appoint non-executive director Satish Pai as chair of the Safety and Sustainability committee from the end of the AGM.

BP p.l.c. has published its 2025 Annual Report and Form 20-F and released the notice for its 2026 Annual General Meeting.

The 2026 AGM is scheduled for 11am BST on 23 April 2026 at the bp International Centre for Business and Technology in Sunbury-on-Thames. BP notes that AGM arrangements may change at short notice, with updates and voting results to be provided via regulatory announcements and on its website.

BP reports 2025 results that mix weaker headline profit with strong cash generation and operational records. Profit attributable to shareholders was $0.1bn, while underlying replacement cost profit reached $7.5bn amid lower oil prices and a softer margin environment.

Operating cash flow was $24.5bn, supporting dividends of $5.1bn and share buybacks of $2.25bn, though buybacks have now been suspended so excess cash can reduce net debt, which ended 2025 at $22.2bn. Upstream production averaged 2.3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day with a 90% proved reserve replacement ratio.

Operationally, BP delivered record upstream plant reliability of 96.1% and refining availability of 96.3%, while cutting combined tier 1 and 2 process safety events to 27. The group advanced a reset strategy focused on growing upstream, high-grading downstream, disciplined transition investment, a larger structural cost reduction target of $5.5-6.5bn by end 2027, and a net debt goal of $14-18bn.

BP p. has provided an update on its total voting rights and share capital as at 28 February 2026. The issued share capital comprised 15,700,469,813 ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares) with a par value of US$0.25 per share, each carrying one vote, and 12,706,252 preference shares with a par value of £1 per share, carrying two votes for every £5 in nominal capital held.

The company held 785,843,181 ordinary shares in treasury, which do not count for dividends or voting at shareholder meetings. In total there are 15,705,552,313 voting rights in BP p., a figure shareholders can use to assess whether they must notify their interests under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

BP p.l.c. reports a series of on-market share buybacks and executive share awards for February 2026. Between 2 and 6 February 2026, the company repurchased blocks of ordinary shares of US$0.25 each on the London Stock Exchange and Cboe (UK) under its previously announced buyback programme.

The repurchased shares are being transferred into treasury, leaving 785,843,181 treasury shares, representing 5.00% of total voting rights, and total voting rights of 15,705,552,313. Interim CEO Carol Howle and CFO Kate Thomson also acquired ordinary shares through the BP ShareMatch UK Plan and the release of Restricted Share Units at nil consideration.

BP p.l.c. reports fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results. Full-year underlying replacement cost (RC) profit was $7.5 billion, down from $8.9 billion in 2024, while fourth-quarter underlying RC profit was $1.5 billion. Reported profit was held back by large impairment charges in gas & low carbon energy and customers & products.

Operating cash flow reached $24.5 billion for 2025 and $7.6 billion in the fourth quarter. Net debt fell to $22.2 billion at year-end, helped by $5.3 billion of divestment and other proceeds and hybrid issuance, supporting BP’s balance sheet goals.

Operationally, BP delivered record upstream plant reliability of 96.1%, a reserves replacement ratio of 90%, and record refining availability of 96.3%. Customers & products posted its highest underlying earnings since 2019, with Castrol earnings up more than 15% year on year.

Strategically, BP advanced a disposal programme now expected to exceed $11 billion, agreed to sell a 65% stake in Castrol for expected net proceeds of about $6 billion, and exited several retail and wind assets. The board decided to suspend share buybacks and direct all excess cash to strengthen the balance sheet, while setting 2026 capital expenditure at $13–13.5 billion and increasing its structural cost-reduction target to $5.5–6.5 billion by end 2027.
