NOTE: Additional information required by the JSE Listing Requirements

1.       The dividend should be regarded as a ‘foreign dividend’ for the purposes of South African
         income tax and South African dividends tax.

2.       Dividend Tax will be withheld from the amount of the gross final dividend of 185.26200 South
         African cents per ordinary share paid to shareholders on the South African branch register at
         the rate of 20 per cent, unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption.

3.       After the Dividend Tax has been withheld, the net dividend will be 741.04800 South African
         cents per ordinary share.

4.       BHP Group Plc had a total of 2,112,071,796 ordinary shares in issue at the dividend
         determination date of 18 August 2020.

5.       The dividend will be paid out of retained earnings.

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

7.       We have been advised that banks are ceasing to produce (and later accept) cheques in the
         interest of facilitating safer and quicker payment, and this now impacts the payment of the
         September 2020 dividend in South Africa. Therefore, BHP Group Plc will no longer be issuing
         dividend cheques in South Africa. All future payments will only be made into a nominated bank
         account by electronic funds transfer. Shareholders who have not yet provided their bank
         account details are reminded to contact Computershare Investor Services (Pty) Limited with
         their account details into which dividends can be paid electronically.

Shareholders on the South African branch register should direct any questions regarding the
application of the Dividend Tax to:
