BP PLC said Monday that it will start a share buyback program, repurchasing up to $500 million of shares by Feb. 7.
The London-listed energy major said the purpose of the program is to reduce its issued share capital, to offset the expected dilution from the vesting of awards under employee share programs.
Shares at 0818 GMT were up 0.7%, or 2.65 pence at 365.2 pence.
