                                           To ensure executives do not receive a larger
                                           number of awards in light of the lower BHP
                                           Billiton share price since the Samarco tailings
                                           dam tragedy in Brazil on 5 November 2015, the
                                           award sizes have been determined by
                                           maintaining the share price and exchange rate
                                           of 5 November 2015 throughout the period from
                                           6 November 2015 to the grant date. This results
                                           in a lower number of awards being allocated
                                           than otherwise would have been the case.
