On 22 August 2023, the Board of BHP determined to pay a final dividend of 80
US cents per share for the full year ended 30 June 2023. Currency conversions
are based on foreign currency exchange rates on a single day or an average for
a period of days ending on or before the Record Date, being 8 September 2023.

 

For the final dividend:

(i)      the AUD Australian dollar currency conversion will be based on an
average over a three day period commencing on 6 September 2023 and ending on 8
September 2023;

(ii)      the GBP pound sterling currency conversion will be based on the
rate on 8 September 2023;

(iii)     the NZD New Zealand dollar currency conversion will be based on
the rate on 8 September 2023; and

(iv)    the ZAR South African rand currency conversion will be based on
the rate of the average exchange rate on 25 August and 28 August 2023 1

The following table sets out the currency exchange rates applicable for the
dividend:

 

 Dividend 80 US cents per ordinary share  Exchange rate  Dividend per ordinary share in local currency
 Australian cents                         0.639667       125.065073
 British pence                            1.248550       64.074326

Shareholders on the Australian, UK and South African share registers who are
receiving dividends in AUD, GBP and ZAR respectively will have their dividend
amounts converted directly from USD at the relevant exchange rate stated
above. Shareholders who have elected to receive their dividends in a currency
different from that applicable to their share register will have their
dividend amounts converted from USD into the currency of their share register
first, and then into their elected currency.

 

For example, a shareholder on the Australian share register who elects to
receive their dividend in NZD will first have their dividend amount converted
from USD to AUD, and then from AUD to NZD. The NZD/USD exchange rate and NZD
equivalent amount per share stated in the table above are for illustrative
purposes only and may differ from the actual rate and amount applied.

 

Shareholders on the South African register will only receive dividends in ZAR.

 

The dividend will be paid on Thursday, 28 September 2023.
