Any additional information
| This notification is in respect of the award of Performance Shares under the LTIP and Deferred Shares under the STIP.
To ensure executives do not receive a larger number of awards in light of the lower BHP Billiton share price since the Samarco tailings dam tragedy in Brazil on 5 November 2015, the award sizes have been determined by maintaining the share price and exchange rate of 5 November 2015 throughout the period from 6 November 2015 to the grant date. This results in a lower number of awards being allocated than otherwise would have been the case. |
