1.       The dividend per ordinary share in local currency in the table above is stated as a gross
         dividend.

2.       The dividend should be regarded as a ‘foreign dividend’ for the purposes of South
         African income tax and South African dividends tax (Dividend Tax).

3.       Dividend Tax will be withheld from the amount of the gross final dividend paid to shareholders
         on the BHP Group Limited South African branch register at the rate of 20 per cent, unless a
         shareholder qualifies for an exemption.
