competent authority for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the Prospectus Regulation). The FCA only
approves this Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the
Prospectus Regulation. Such approval by the FCA should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer, the Guarantor
or the quality of the Notes that are the subject of this Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as to the
suitability of investing in the Notes.
Application has been made to the FCA for the Notes to be admitted to listing on the Official List of the FCA (the Official
List) and to the London Stock Exchange plc (the London Stock Exchange) for the Notes to be admitted to trading on
the London Stock Exchange's Regulated Market (the Market). References in this Prospectus to the Notes being "listed"

Words and expressions defined in the Conditions and not otherwise defined in this Prospectus shall have the
same meanings when used in the remainder of this Prospectus.
This Prospectus comprises a prospectus for the purposes of Article 6(3) of the Prospectus Regulation in respect
of BP Capital. Each of BP and BP Capital accepts responsibility for the information contained in this
Prospectus. To the best of the knowledge of BP and BP Capital, the information contained in this Prospectus
is in accordance with the facts and the Prospectus makes no omission likely to affect its import.
This Prospectus shall be read and construed in conjunction with all documents which are deemed to be
incorporated herein by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference", below). Other than in relation
to the documents which are deemed to be incorporated by reference, the information on the websites to which
this Prospectus refers does not form part of this Prospectus and has not been scrutinised or approved by the
FCA.
No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other than those contained
in this Prospectus in connection with the issue or sale of the Notes and, if given or made, such information or
representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of the
Managers (as defined in "Subscription and Sale" below). Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor any sale
made in connection herewith shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no
change in the affairs of the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates (together
the Group or the BP Group) since the date hereof or the date upon which this Prospectus has been most
recently amended or supplemented or that there has been no adverse change in the financial position of the
Issuer, the Guarantor or the Group since the date hereof or the date upon which this Prospectus has been most
recently amended or supplemented or that any other information supplied in connection with the Notes is
correct as of any time subsequent to the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the date indicated in the
document containing the same.
The distribution of this Prospectus and the offering or sale of the Notes in certain jurisdictions may be restricted
by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes are required by the Issuer, the Guarantor, and
the Managers to inform themselves about and to observe any such restriction. The Notes have not been and
will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and are
subject to US tax law requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered
within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, US persons. For a description of certain
restrictions on offers and sales of Notes and on distribution of this Prospectus, see "Subscription and Sale".
The Managers have not separately verified the information contained in this Prospectus. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, none of the Managers and The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. (the Trustee) accepts
any responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. Each of the Managers and the Trustee accordingly
disclaims all and any liability whether arising in tort or contract or otherwise which it might otherwise have in
respect of this Prospectus or any such statement. None of the Managers makes any representation, express or
implied, or accepts any responsibility, with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information
in this Prospectus. Neither this Prospectus nor any other financial statements are intended to provide the basis
of any credit or other evaluation and should not be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer, the Guarantor
or the Managers that any recipient of this Prospectus or any other financial statements supplied in connection
with the Notes should purchase the Notes. Each potential purchaser of Notes should determine for itself the
relevance of the information contained in this Prospectus or any other financial statements and its purchase of
Notes should be based upon any such investigation as it deems necessary. None of the Managers undertakes
to review the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Group during the life of the Notes
or to advise any investor in the Notes of any information coming to the attention of any of the Managers.
Prohibition of sales to EEA And UK Retail Investors The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor
in the European Economic Area (EEA) or in the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a "retail investor" means
a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II or; (ii)
a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the Insurance Distribution Directive), where that
4

customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii)
not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document
required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (as amended, the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the
Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or the United Kingdom has been
prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor
in the EEA or the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
MIFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market Solely for the
purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes
has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional
clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible
counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or
recommending the Notes (a distributor) should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market
assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment)
and determining appropriate distribution channels.
Notification under Section 309B(1) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore, as
modified or amended from time to time (the SFA) Solely for the purposes of its obligations pursuant to
Sections 309B(1)(a) and 309B(1)(c) of the SFA, the Issuer has determined, and hereby notifies all persons,
including all relevant persons (as defined in Section 309A(1) of the SFA), that the Notes are prescribed capital
markets products (as defined in the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of
Singapore) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Notice
SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on
Recommendations on Investment Products).
The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Notes must
determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential
investor should:
(a)
have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the merits
and risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained in this Prospectus or any applicable
supplement;
(b)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes will have on its
overall investment portfolio;
(c)
have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Notes,
including where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential
investor's currency;
(d)
understand thoroughly the terms of the Notes and the Guarantee and be familiar with the behaviour of
any relevant financial markets; and
(e)
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic,
interest rate or other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
The Notes are complex financial instruments. Sophisticated institutional investors generally do not purchase
complex financial instruments as stand-alone investments. They purchase complex financial instruments as a
way to reduce risk or enhance yield with an understood, measured, appropriate addition of risk to their overall
portfolios. A potential investor should not invest in the Notes (which are complex financial instruments) unless
it has the expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Notes will perform under
changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Notes and the impact this investment will have
on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
5

Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments, including in the Notes. The investment
activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by
certain authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what
extent (1) the Notes are legal investments for it, (2) the Notes can be used as collateral for various types of
borrowing, and (3) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes. Financial institutions should
consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Notes under
any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.
IN CONNECTION WITH THE ISSUE OF THE NOTES, BNP PARIBAS AS STABILISATION
MANAGER (THE STABILISATION MANAGER) (OR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF
THE STABILISATION MANAGER) MAY OVER-ALLOT NOTES OR EFFECT TRANSACTIONS
WITH A VIEW TO SUPPORTING THE MARKET PRICE OF THE NOTES AT A LEVEL HIGHER
THAN THAT WHICH MIGHT OTHERWISE PREVAIL. HOWEVER, STABILISATION MAY
NOT NECESSARILY OCCUR. ANY STABILISATION ACTION MAY BEGIN ON OR AFTER THE
DATE ON WHICH ADEQUATE PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF THE TERMS OF THE OFFER OF THE
NOTES IS MADE AND, IF BEGUN, MAY CEASE AT ANY TIME, BUT IT MUST END NO LATER
THAN THE EARLIER OF 30 DAYS AFTER THE ISSUE DATE OF THE NOTES AND 60 DAYS
AFTER THE DATE OF THE ALLOTMENT OF THE NOTES. ANY STABILISATION ACTION OR
OVER-ALLOTMENT MUST BE CONDUCTED BY THE STABILISATION MANAGER (OR
PERSONS ACTING ON BEHALF OF ANY STABILISATION MANAGER) IN ACCORDANCE
WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND RULES.
