1. In calculating the results of the respective polls under the joint electoral procedure, "withheld" votes at BHP Group Plc's meeting are aggregated with "abstained" votes at BHP Group Limited's meeting. For all relevant purposes "withheld" votes and "abstained" votes have the same meaning. They are not included in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against each resolution.

2.  BHP consulted extensively with its shareholders on Resolution 22 in the lead up to the Annual General Meetings and will be conducting further consultations in the next few months in relation to shareholders' views on this matter. The shareholder consultations conducted to date helped inform the enhancements to the scope and methodology of BHP's 2019 Industry Association Review, which are outlined on the company's website at https://www.bhp.com/our-approach/operating-with-integrity/industry-associations-bhps-approach/2019-industry-association-review.
