On 22 August 2023, the Board of BHP determined to pay a final dividend of 80 US cents per share for the

(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 20231.

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

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.

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.
