BP DIRECTSAVE PLAN
BP Corporation North America Inc. (the “Company”) maintains the BP DirectSave Plan (the “Plan”) for the benefit of eligible employees of the Company and its participating affiliates. The Plan is intended to constitute a qualified profit sharing plan, as described in Section 401(a) of the Code, which includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement, as described in Section 401(k) of the Code.
The Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2002. Such restatement constituted an amendment and restatement of the BP Amoco DirectSave Plan, and reflected the transfer of certain liabilities and assets (i) from the Amoco Employee Savings Plan (“AESP”) to the Plan and (ii) from the BP Amoco Partnership Savings Plan to the Plan, on or after April 7, 2000.
The Plan was amended and restated as of January 1, 2008, to comply with the requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006.
The Plan was amended and restated as of April 1, 2023.
The Thornton Employee Savings (401(k)) Plan merged with and into the Plan on April 19, 2023 (as more fully described in Appendix B). The benefits, rights and features of an individual who participated in the Thornton Employee Savings (401(k)) Plan, of which the liabilities and assets were transferred to the Plan as of the plan merger date, but who did not have an account balance under the Plan at that time, will be determined under the applicable instruments in effect for the Thornton Employee Savings (401(k)) Plan on the earlier of: (1) the day on which such individual’s account was reduced to zero; or (2) the day on which such individual’s employment terminated. The terms of this Plan apply to any accounts created for such individual hereunder on or after the plan merger date.
The Plan is hereby amended and restated effective June 1, 2023, except as set forth herein, and applies to Eligible Employees on and after that date, unless otherwise indicated.
