Emoluments
These amounts comprise fees paid to the non-executive chairman and the non-executive directors and, for executive directors, salary and benefits
earned during the relevant financial year, plus bonuses awarded for the year. This includes an ex gratia superannuation payment of $3 million
(2006 and 2005 nil) and compensation for loss of office of $1 million (2006 and 2005 nil).
Pension contributions
Six executive directors participated in a non-contributory pension scheme established for UK staff by a separate trust fund to which contributions are
made by BP based on actuarial advice. One US executive director participated in the US BP Retirement Accumulation Plan during 2007.
Office facilities for former chairmen and deputy chairmen
It is customary for the company to make available to former chairmen and deputy chairmen, who were previously employed executives, the use of
office and basic secretarial facilities following their retirement. The cost involved in doing so is not significant.
