BP Capital Accumulation Plan

The BP Capital Accumulation Plan (“CAP”) was established on July 1, 1988. Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who are represented employees at the Carson, California refinery are eligible to participate in CAP. The plan was frozen to new participants effective January 1, 2002.

Under CAP, participants may contribute up to 27% of their base pay, subject to IRS limits. Participants who attain age 50 before the end of the applicable plan year are eligible to make additional elective deferrals (catch-up contributions), subject to IRS limits. The Company makes matching contributions to the participant’s account at 160% of the participant’s pre-tax contribution, up to a maximum Company contribution of 8% of the participant’s base salary. Participants are permitted to rollover amounts into CAP representing distributions from other qualified plans.

All contributions and earnings are immediately vested and nonforfeitable. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit which can be provided by the participant’s account balance.
