Exhibit 1.1
press release
4 April 2025
bp chair announces intention to step down;
board launches search for successor
bp today announced that the company's board of directors has
initiated a succession process to select a new Chair, after Helge
Lund informed the board of his intention to step down in due
course.
The succession process is being led by Dame Amanda Blanc, in her
capacity as Senior Independent Director, with support from the
wider board.
It is intended that the successful candidate will join the board
and work together with Helge to ensure an orderly transition ahead
of taking on the role of Chair, at which point Helge will step down
from the board, most likely during 2026.
Whilst this succession process progresses, the board's focus will
remain on overseeing management's delivery of the new strategy and
this will continue to be their key priority under the new
Chair.
Helge said: "Having fundamentally reset our strategy, bp's focus
now is on delivering the strategy at pace, improving performance
and growing shareholder value. Now is the right time to start the
process to find my successor and enable an orderly and seamless
handover. The board and I are committed to supporting Murray and
his team, and to overseeing bp's delivery of its strategic and
financial objectives as we set out in our recent Capital Markets
Update."
Amanda said: "We are starting a comprehensive search to identify
Chair candidates with the credibility and relevant experience to
lead the board and continue driving management's safe execution of
the reset strategy."
This announcement contains inside information. The person
responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on
behalf of BP p.l.c., is Ben Mathews, Company
Secretary.
