British Petroleum (BP): How I Voted

British Petroleum (BP) is one of the stocks in my portfolio. Their annual meeting is coming up on 4/12/2012. Voting ends 4/11 on Moxy Vote’s proxy voting platform, which had no voting recommendations. ProxyDemocracy.org had voting from only CBIS.

BP is based in the UK, so I’m not sure where to find the report on executive compensation. I did find the meeting notice but I understand the compensation report is contained in the annual report. I’m not willing to take the time to find it and really have no idea how to vote on BP, so I’m voting with SBIS. Hopefully, they’ve done their homework.
