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

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:
