Safe Harbor Statement

Certain statements in this press release may constitute “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are made on the basis of current expectations, forecasts and assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors outside of our control, that may cause our business, strategy or actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our ability to perform under existing contracts and obtain additional contracts; our reliance on sales to the U.S. government; changes in the timing and/or amount of government spending; changes in the supply and/or demand and/or prices for our products and services; changes in the regulatory environment; the activities of competitors; failure of the markets in which we operate to grow; failure to expand into new markets; failure to develop new products or integrate new technology with current products; and general economic and business conditions in the United States and elsewhere in the world. For a further list and description of such risks and uncertainties, see the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on 10-Q. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Cautionary statement

BP Annual Report and Form 20-F 2010 contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 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.

In order to utilize the ‘Safe Harbor’ provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, BP is providing the following cautionary statement. This document contains certain forward-looking statements 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’, ‘plans’, ‘we see’ or similar expressions. In particular, among other statements, (i) certain statements in the Business review (pages 6-82), including under the heading ‘Outlook’, with regard to strategy, management aims and objectives, future capital expenditure, the completion of planned and announced divestments and disposals, acquisitions and other transactions, future hydrocarbon production volume and the group’s ability to satisfy its long-term sales commitments from future supplies available to the group, date(s) or period(s) in which production is scheduled or expected to come onstream or a project or action is scheduled or expected to begin or be completed, capacity of planned plants or facilities and impact of health, safety and environmental regulations; (ii) the statements in the Business review (pages 6-63 and 68-81) with regard to anticipated energy demand and consumption, global economic recovery, oil and gas prices, global reserves, refining capacity, expected future energy mix and the potential for cleaner and more efficient sources of energy, management aims and objectives, strategy, production, petrochemical and refining margins, anticipated investment in Alternative Energy, anticipated future project developments, growth of the international businesses, Refining and Marketing investments, reserves increases through technological developments, with regard to planned investment or other projects, timing and ability to complete announced transactions and future regulatory actions; (iii) the statements in the Business review (pages 23-26, 63-67 and 73) with regard to the plans of the group,


the cost of and provision for future remediation programmes and environmental operating and capital expenditures, taxation, liquidity and costs for providing pension and other post-retirement benefits; and including under ‘Liquidity and capital resources – Trend Information’, with regard to global economic recovery, oil and gas prices, petrochemical and refining margins, production, demand for petrochemicals, production and production growth, depreciation, underlying average quarterly charge from Other businesses and corporate, costs, foreign exchange and energy costs, capital expenditure, timing and proceeds of divestments, balance of cash inflows and outflows, dividend and optional scrip dividend, cash flows, shareholder distributions, gearing, working capital, guarantees, expected payments under contractual and commercial commitments and purchase obligations; and (iv) certain statements in Chairman’s letter (pages 6-7) and Business review (pages 10-11) in relation to an anticipated increase in the level of the dividend; are all forward-looking in nature.

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 timing of bringing new fields onstream; future levels of industry product supply, demand and pricing; operational problems; general economic conditions; political stability and economic growth in relevant areas of the world; changes in laws and governmental regulations; actions by regulators; exchange rate fluctuations; development and use of new technology; the success or otherwise of partnering; the actions of competitors; natural disasters and adverse weather conditions; changes in public expectations and other changes to business conditions; wars and acts of terrorism or sabotage; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this report including under ‘Risk factors’ (pages 27-32). In addition to factors set forth elsewhere in this report, 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.

Statements regarding competitive position

Statements referring to BP’s competitive position are based on the company’s belief and, in some cases, rely on a range of sources, including investment analysts’ reports, independent market studies and BP’s internal assessments of market share based on publicly available information about the financial results and performance of market participants.

Safe Harbor Statement

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE “SAFE HARBOR” PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. You can identify our forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements relating to ConocoPhillips’ operations are based on management’s expectations, estimates and projections about ConocoPhillips and the petroleum industry in general on the date the presentations are given. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements.

Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially include, but are not limited to, potential failures or delays in achieving expected reserve or production levels from existing and future oil and gas developments due to operating hazards, drilling risks and the inherent uncertainties in predicting reserves and reservoir performance; unsuccessful exploratory drilling activities or the inability to obtain access to exploratory acreage; unexpected changes in costs or technical requirements for constructing, modifying or operating exploration and production facilities; lack of, or disruptions in, adequate and reliable transportation for our crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, bitumen and LNG; inability to timely obtain or maintain permits, including those necessary for drilling and/or development, construction of LNG terminals or regasification facilities; comply with government regulations; or make capital expenditures required to maintain compliance; failure to complete definitive agreements and feasibility studies for, and to timely complete construction of, announced and future exploration and production and LNG development; potential disruption or interruption of our operations due to accidents, extraordinary weather events, civil unrest, political events, terrorism or cyber attacks; international monetary conditions and exchange controls; substantial investment or reduced demand for products as a result of existing or future environmental rules and regulations; liability for remedial actions, including removal and reclamation obligations, under environmental regulations; liability resulting from litigation; general domestic and international economic and political developments, including armed hostilities; expropriation of assets; changes in governmental policies relating to crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, LNG or natural gas liquids pricing, regulation or taxation; other political, economic or diplomatic developments; and international monetary fluctuations; changes in tax and other laws, regulations (including alternative energy mandates), or royalty rules applicable to our business; limited access to capital or significantly higher cost of capital related to illiquidity or uncertainty in the domestic or international financial markets; delays in, or our inability to implement, our asset disposition plan; inability to obtain economical financing for development, construction or modification of facilities and general corporate purposes; and the operation and financing of our joint ventures.

Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include other economic, business, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting ConocoPhillips’ business generally as set forth in ConocoPhillips’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). ConocoPhillips is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligation) to update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise
