Update to the Appendix 3A.1 released on 25 February 2025 to advise of the AUD, GBP and NZD currency rates and local currency conversions.
The following table sets out the currency exchange rates applicable for the dividend:
BHP Group Limited shareholders may have their cash dividends paid directly into their bank accounts in AUD, NZD, GBP, ZAR or USD, provided that they have submitted direct credit details and, if required, a valid currency election, nominating a financial institution to the BHP Share Registrar in Australia no later than the close of business on the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Currency Election Date. BHP Group Limited shareholders who do not provide their direct credit details will receive dividend payments by way of a cheque in Australian dollars.
The ZAR, AUD, GBP and NZD exchange rates have been determined.
Shareholders on the Australian register who have elected to receive their dividends in a non-primary currency other than AUD will have their dividend amounts converted from USD into AUD first (using the AUD/USD conversion rate in 2B.2b below), before being converted into their elected currency at the below rates:
NZD/AUD: 0.909101
GBP/AUD: 2.039347
These exchange rates are based on externally published reference rates (benchmark rates by Central Banks) which are relevant to each domestic market.
A shareholder on the Australian, UK and South African share registers who are receiving dividends in AUD, GBP or ZAR respectively will have their dividend converted directly from USD at the relevant exchange rate stated above.
Shareholders on the Australian register who have elected to receive their dividends in a non-primary currency other than AUD will have their dividend amounts converted from USD into AUD first, and then into their elected currency.
Shareholders on the South African register will only receive dividends in ZAR.
