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 interim 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 734.35000 South African
         cents per ordinary share.

5.       BHP Group Limited had a total of 5,073,901,188 ordinary shares in issue at the dividend
         determination date of 18 February 2025.

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.
