The term "New Notes" in this column refers, in each case, to the series of New Notes corresponding to the series of Old Notes of like tenor and
coupon.
(2)
No Old Fixed Rate Notes (as defined below) of a given series will be accepted for exchange unless the aggregate principal amount of New Notes to
be issued on the Settlement Date in exchange for such series of Old Fixed Rate Notes is greater than or equal to the applicable Minimum New Notes
Size.
(3)
Consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange.
(4)
Includes the Early Participation Premium for Old Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Participation Deadline described below and not validly
withdrawn.
(5)
It is possible that the Maximum Amount Condition will not be satisfied with respect to this series of Old Notes. No Old Notes of a given series will
be accepted for exchange if the Maximum Amount Condition is not satisfied.
The Exchange Offers are subject to Acceptance Priority Levels and the conditions described herein, including the applicable Minimum Size
Condition and the Maximum Amount Condition, as described further below. Subject to applicable law, we reserve the right, but are under no
obligation, to increase or decrease the Maximum Amount at any time, which, in the event of an increase, could result in the exchange of a greater aggregate
principal amount of Old Notes. See "The Exchange Offers--Extensions; Amendments; Waiver; Termination."
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/313807/000119312518345997/d668296d424b3.htm[12/10/2018 2:12:34 PM]


424B3
The aggregate principal amount of each series of Old Notes that is exchanged in the Exchange Offers will be determined in accordance with the acceptance
priority levels detailed in the table above (the "Acceptance Priority Levels"), with Acceptance Priority Level 1 being the highest and Acceptance Priority
Level 23 being the lowest. No Old Fixed Rate Notes (being the Old Notes with Acceptance Priority Levels 1 through 19, 22 and 23, collectively the "Old
Fixed Rate Notes") of a given series will be accepted for exchange unless the aggregate principal amount of New Notes to be issued on the Settlement
Date in exchange for such series of Old Fixed Rate Notes is greater than or equal to the applicable minimum new notes size detailed in the table above (the
"Minimum New Notes Size" and, such condition, the "Minimum Size Condition"). Additionally, no Old Notes of a given series will be accepted for
exchange unless $10,600,000,000 (the "Maximum Amount") is greater than or equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of such series of Old
Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all series of Old Notes having a higher Acceptance Priority
Level which have been accepted for exchange (the "Maximum Amount Condition"). If either of the Minimum Size Condition or the Maximum Amount
Condition is not satisfied with respect to a given series of Old Notes, then (i) no Old Notes of that series will be accepted for exchange (whether or not
validly tendered) and (ii) the series of Old Notes (if any) with the next lowest Acceptance Priority Level that satisfies both the Minimum Size Condition
and the Maximum Amount Condition will be accepted for exchange, until there is no series of Old Notes with a lower Acceptance Priority Level to
consider for exchange. Satisfaction of the
Table of Contents
Maximum Amount Condition will be tested at the Expiration Time for each series in order of Acceptance Priority Level. If any series of Old Notes is
accepted for exchange, all Old Notes of that series that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will be accepted for exchange. Accordingly, no
series of Old Notes will be subject to proration pursuant to the Exchange Offers.
It is possible that any series of Old Notes with Acceptance Priority Level 10 or lower will fail to meet the Maximum Amount Condition and therefore will
not be accepted for exchange even if one or more series with a lower Acceptance Priority Level is accepted for exchange.
In exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes that is validly tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 28, 2018
(the "Early Participation Deadline") and not validly withdrawn (subject to the Acceptance Priority Levels and the conditions described herein,
including the applicable Minimum Size Condition and the Maximum Amount Condition), holders will receive the total consideration set out in
the table above (the "Total Consideration"), which consists of $1,000 principal amount of New Notes and a cash amount of $1 (such cash amount,
the "Cash Component").
The Total Consideration includes an early participation premium set out in the table above (the "Early Participation Premium"), which consists
of $30 principal amount of New Notes.
In exchange for $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes that is validly tendered after the Early Participation Deadline but prior to the Expiration
Time (as defined below) and not validly withdrawn (subject to the Acceptance Priority Levels and the conditions described herein, including the
applicable Minimum Size Condition and the Maximum Amount Condition), holders will receive only the exchange consideration set out in the
table above (the "Exchange Consideration"), which is equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Participation Premium and so consists of
$970 principal amount of New Notes and a cash amount of $1.
Other than the identity of the Issuer, the terms of each series of the New Notes are identical in all material respects to the corresponding series of Old Notes,
with minor exceptions as discussed in "Description of Differences Between the New Notes and the Old Notes." The Old Notes are, and each series of the
New Notes will be, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by BP. Each series of the New Notes will have the same financial terms and covenants as the
corresponding series of Old Notes, and are subject to the same business and financial risks. The Old Notes were issued pursuant to supplemental indentures
to an indenture, dated March 8, 2002, amongst BP Capital U.K., BP and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A.), as trustee (the "Trustee") (such indenture, as supplemented, the "Old Indenture"). The New Notes will be issued pursuant to a
supplemental indenture to an indenture dated June 4, 2003, among BP Capital America, BP and the Trustee (such indenture, as will be supplemented, the
"New Indenture" and together with the Old Indenture, the "Indentures").
Subject to the rounding described below, no accrued but unpaid interest will be paid on the Old Notes in connection with the Exchange Offers. However,
interest on the applicable New Note will accrue from and including the most recent interest payment date of the tendered Old Note. The principal amount
of each New Note will be rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole multiple of $1,000, and we will pay cash equal to the remaining portion (plus
accrued interest thereon), if any, of the exchange price of such Old Note. The Exchange Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on
December 12, 2018, unless extended (the "Expiration Time"). You may withdraw tendered Old Notes at any time prior to the Expiration Time. As of the
date of this prospectus, there was $23,750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding Old Notes.
The consummation of each Exchange Offer is subject to, and conditional upon, the satisfaction or waiver, where permitted, of the conditions
discussed under "The Exchange Offers--Terms of the Exchange Offers" and "The Exchange Offers--Conditions to the Exchange Offers,"
including, among other things, the Minimum Size Condition and the Maximum Amount Condition. Subject to applicable law and as described
under "The Exchange Offers--Extensions; Amendments; Waiver; Termination," we may, at our option and sole discretion, waive any such
conditions with respect to any of the Exchange Offers, except the condition that the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part
has been declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All conditions to the Exchange Offers must be satisfied or, where
permitted, waived, at or by the Expiration Time.

424B3
We plan to issue the New Notes promptly on or about the second business day following the Expiration Time (the "Settlement Date"). The Old Notes are
currently, and we intend will remain, listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), and we intend to list the New Notes on the NYSE. We expect
trading in the New Notes on the NYSE to begin within 30 days of the Settlement Date.
This investment involves risks. Prior to participating in any of the Exchange Offers, please see the section entitled

Notes.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In order to utilize the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "PSLRA") and the general
doctrine of cautionary statements, BP is providing the following cautionary statement. This prospectus, including documents incorporated by reference, and
the related prospectus supplement may contain certain forecasts, projections and forward-looking statements - that is, statements related to future, not past,
events and circumstances - with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of BP and certain of the plans and objectives of BP
with respect to these items. These statements may generally, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as "will", "expects", "is expected to",
"aims", "should", "may", "objective", "is likely to", "intends", "believes", "anticipates", "plans" "we see" or similar expressions. By their nature, forward-
looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will or may occur in the future and are
outside the control of BP. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in such statements, depending on a variety of factors, including: the
specific factors identified in the discussions accompanying such forward-looking statements; the receipt of relevant third party and/or regulatory approvals;
the timing and level of maintenance and/or turnaround activity; the timing and volume of refinery additions and outages; the timing of bringing new fields
onstream; the timing, quantum and nature of certain divestments; future levels of industry product supply, demand and pricing, including supply growth in
North America; OPEC quota restrictions; production-sharing agreements effects; operational and safety problems; potential lapses in product quality;
economic and financial market conditions generally or in various countries and regions; political stability and economic growth in relevant areas of the
world; changes in laws and governmental regulations and policies, including related to climate change; changes in social attitudes and customer
preferences; regulatory or legal actions including the types of enforcement action pursued and the nature of remedies sought or imposed; the actions of
prosecutors, regulatory authorities and courts; delays in the processes for resolving claims; amounts ultimately payable and the timing of payments relating
to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill; exchange rate fluctuations; development and use of new technology; recruitment and retention of a skilled workforce; the
success or otherwise of partnering; the actions of competitors, trading partners, contractors, subcontractors, creditors, rating agencies and others; our access
to future credit resources; business disruption and crisis management; the impact on our reputation of ethical misconduct and non-compliance with
regulatory obligations; trading losses; major uninsured losses; decisions by Rosneft's management and board of directors; the actions of contractors; natural
disasters and adverse weather conditions; changes in public expectations and other changes to business conditions; wars and acts of terrorism; cyber attacks
or sabotage; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this prospectus including under "Risk Factors". In addition to factors set forth elsewhere in this
prospectus, those set out above are important factors, although not exhaustive, that may cause actual results and developments to differ materially from

those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made by or on BP's behalf speak only as of the date they
are made. BP does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect any changes to its expectations or any changes in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statement is based. Additional information, including information on factors which may affect BP's business, is contained

Subject to applicable law, we reserve the right, but are not obligated, to increase or decrease the

the Exchange Offers" and "The Exchange Offers--Conditions to the Exchange Offers").
We expressly reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, subject to applicable law and as
described under "The Exchange Offers--Extensions; Amendments, Waivers; Termination", to waive
any condition to any of the Exchange Offers, except the condition that the registration statement of
which this prospectus forms a part has been declared effective by the SEC, or to terminate the
Exchange Offer in respect of any series of Old Notes if the conditions described under "The Exchange
Offers--Conditions to the Exchange Offers" are not satisfied or waived by the Expiration Time. All
conditions to the Exchange Offers must be satisfied or, where permitted, waived, at or by the
Expiration Time.
Other than the identity of the Issuer, the terms of each series of the New Notes are identical in all
material respects to the corresponding series of Old Notes, with minor exceptions as discussed in
"Description of Differences Between the New Notes and the Old Notes." The Old Notes are, and each
series of the New Notes will be, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by BP. Each series of the New
Notes will have the same financial terms and covenants as the Old Notes, and are subject to the same
business and financial risks.
See "The Exchange Offers--Terms of the Exchange Offers."
Acceptance Priority Levels, Minimum Size
The aggregate principal amount of each series of Old Notes that is exchanged in the Exchange Offers
Condition and Maximum Amount Conditions
will be determined in accordance with the acceptance priority levels set forth in the table above (the
"Acceptance Priority Levels"), with Acceptance Priority Level 1 being the highest and Acceptance
Priority Level 23 being the lowest, subject to the Minimum Size Condition and the Maximum
Amount Condition (each as defined below).
No Old Fixed Rate Notes (being the Old Notes with Acceptance Priority Levels 1 through 19, 22 and
23, collectively the "Old Fixed Rate Notes") of a given series will be accepted for exchange unless
the aggregate principal amount of New Notes to be issued on the Settlement Date in exchange for
such series of Old Fixed Rate Notes is greater than or equal to the applicable minimum new notes size
detailed in the table above (the "Minimum New Notes Size" and, such condition, the "Minimum
Size Condition"). Additionally, no Old Notes of a given series will be accepted for exchange unless
the Maximum Amount is greater than or equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of
such series of Old Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and (ii) the aggregate principal
amount of all series of Old Notes having a higher Acceptance Priority Level which have been
accepted for exchange (the "Maximum Amount Condition").
If either of the Minimum Size Condition or the Maximum Amount Condition is not satisfied with
respect to a given series of Old Notes, then (i) no Old Notes of that series will be accepted for
exchange (whether or not validly tendered) and (ii) the series of Old Notes (if any) with the next
lowest Acceptance Priority Level that satisfies both the Minimum Size Condition and the Maximum
Amount Condition will be accepted for exchange, until there is no series of Old Notes with a lower
Acceptance Priority Level to consider for exchange. Satisfaction of the Maximum Amount Condition
will be tested at the Expiration Time for each series in

Table of Contents
order of Acceptance Priority Level. It is possible that any series of Old Notes with Acceptance
Priority Level 10 or lower will fail to meet the Maximum Amount Condition and therefore will
not be accepted for exchange even if one or more series with a lower Acceptance Priority Level
is accepted for exchange.
As of the date of this prospectus, the aggregate principal amounts of the Old Notes outstanding
are set forth in the table above.
See "The Exchange Offers--Maximum Amount; Acceptance Priority Levels" and "The
Exchange Offers--Extensions; Amendments; Waiver; Termination" for more information on
priority of exchange as well as our ability to increase or decrease the size of the Maximum
Amount or to waive any condition to any of the Exchange Offers, including the applicable
Minimum Size Condition or the Maximum Amount Condition.
