On 21 February 2023, the Board of BHP determined to pay an interim dividend of
90 US cents per share for the half-year ended 31 December 2022. 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 10
March 2023.

 

For the interim dividend:

(i)       the AUD Australian dollar currency conversion will be based on
the average rate over a three day period commencing on 8 March 2023 and ending
on 10 March 2023;

(ii)      the GBP pound sterling currency conversion will be based on the
rate on 10 March 2023;

(iii)      the NZD New Zealand dollar currency conversion will be based
on the rate on 10 March 2023; and

(iv)     the ZAR South African rand currency conversion will be based on
the rate on 27 February 2023 1  (#_ftn1) .

 

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

 Dividend 90 US cents per ordinary share  Exchange rate  Dividend per ordinary share in local currency
 Australian cents                         0.660000       136.363636
 British pence                            1.210150       74.370946

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.

 

The dividend will be paid on Thursday, 30 March 2023.
