The currency exchange rate applicable for the final dividend payable in South African cents to shareholders on the BHP Group Limited South African branch register, in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, is based on the average rate on 27 August 2026 and is set out below:

 

     
Dividend 99 US cents per ordinary share    Exchange rate    Dividend per ordinary share in local currency
South African cents    15.96480    1,580.51520

The exchange rates applicable to the BHP dividend being paid in other currencies will be based on the foreign currency exchange rates on a single day or an average period of days ending on or before the dividend Record Date, being 4 September 2026. The applicable foreign currency exchange rates will be announced to the market on 7 September 2026.

NOTE: Additional information required by the JSE Listing Requirements

 

1.

The divided 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). Payment of the dividend to shareholders on the BHP Group Limited South African branch register will be made from the United Kingdom.

 

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.

 

4.

After the Dividend Tax has been withheld, the net dividend will be 1,264.41216 South African cents per ordinary share.

 

5.

BHP Group Limited had a total of 5,081,391,706 ordinary shares in issue at the dividend determination date of 18 August 2026.

 

6.

The dividend will be paid out of retained earnings.

 

7.

For the avoidance of doubt, Dividend Tax, and therefore the information provided in this announcement, is only of direct application to shareholders on the BHP Group Limited South African branch register.
