Nature of change

Example: on-market trade, off- market trade, exercise of options, issue of securities under dividend reinvestment plan, participation in buy-back

  

The acquisition of:

 

•  56,217 ordinary shares in BHP Group Limited following the vesting of Deferred Shares under the FY2017 Short Term Incentive Plan; and

 

•  7,269 ordinary shares in BHP Group Limited in accordance with the Group’s policy on Dividend Equivalent Payments.

   An on-market sale of 31,309 BHP Group Limited ordinary shares on the Australian Securities Exchange, made in order to meet expected tax obligations
  

2014 Long Term Incentive Plan – nil vesting:

None of Andrew Mackenzie’s 224,859 Long Term Incentive Plan awards vested. BHP’s five year TSR performance was 6.0 per cent over the five-year period from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2019. This is below the weighted median TSR of peer companies of 15.3 per cent and below the TSR of the MSCI World Index of 41.3 per cent. This level of performance results in zero vesting for the 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan awards and accordingly the awards have lapsed.
