BP P.L.C.
BP misled investors about how bad the Deepwater Horizon oil spill really was. If you bought BP shares on non-US exchanges during the weeks right after the blowout, there's a settlement fund set up for you.
Investors who purchased BP Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange, the Frankfurt Börse, or another exchange outside the United States between April 26, 2010 and May 26, 2010, harmed by BP's material misrepresentations about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill flow rate. Proof of purchase is required to file. Claim deadline: February 20, 2024. Checked against the official settlement source by SettleSignal on June 17, 2026.
Who may qualify
You self-certify the basics when you file — the settlement administrator makes the final eligibility decision.
You may qualify if you purchased BP Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange, the Frankfurt Börse, or any other exchange outside the United States between April 26, 2010 and May 26, 2010, and lost money because BP understated the spill's flow rate during that window.

Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- The claim deadline was February 20, 2024 — the filing window is closed, and new claims may not be accepted.
- Only BP Ordinary Shares traded on non-US exchanges qualify. BP American Depository Shares traded on US exchanges were covered in an earlier distribution and are NOT part of this phase.
- Use only the official sites bpfairfund.com or bp.rcbfundservices.com — scammers impersonate SEC fund administrators and verify the domain carefully before entering any personal or financial information.
- RCB Fund Services, LLC is the court-appointed administrator. Any third party claiming to expedite your payment for a fee is a scam.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
