LODGEMENT OF YOUR PROXY FORM

To be valid, this proxy form must be received by 5:00 pm (Melbourne time) on Monday 12 October 2020.

Any proxy form (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.

How to complete this proxy form

If you are unable to attend the Annual General Meeting to be held virtually on Wednesday 14 October 2020 at 5:00 pm (Melbourne time), you are encouraged to appoint a person or body corporate who will attend as your proxy and exercise your right to vote your shares. If you appoint a body corporate as your proxy, the body corporate should appoint a person as its representative at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001.

Appointment of a second proxy

A shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint up to two proxies (whether shareholders or not) to attend the meeting and vote. A separate proxy form should be used for each proxy appointment.

Directing your proxy how to vote

If you wish to direct your proxy how to vote (or to abstain from voting) on any resolution, place a mark (“X”) in the “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” box for each resolution. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid. If you mark the “Abstain” box for a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy not to vote on your behalf and your votes will not be counted in computing the required majority.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In this proxy form, BHP Group Limited and BHP Group Plc together are referred to as BHP.

The key management personnel (‘KMP’) of BHP (which includes each of the Directors) and their closely related parties will not be able to vote as your proxy on Items 7, 8, 9 and 10 unless you tell them how to vote or, if the Chair of the Meeting is your proxy, you expressly authorise him to vote even though Items 7, 8, 9 and 10 are connected with the remuneration of the KMP. If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP as your proxy, you can direct them to vote for or against or to abstain from voting on Items 7, 8, 9 and 10 by marking the appropriate boxes on the proxy form.

Signing Instructions

You must sign this proxy form as follows in the spaces provided:

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the proxy form must be signed by the shareholder or the shareholder’s attorney. Joint holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the shareholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: To sign under Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged the Power of Attorney with the Share Registrar for notation. If you have not previously lodged this document for notation, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this proxy form when you return it.

Otherwise this proxy form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

If a representative of a company shareholder or a company proxy is to attend the meeting the appropriate “Appointment of Corporate Representative Form” should be given to the Share Registrar prior to the meeting (unless it has previously been given to the Share Registrar).
