Billiton announced today that it will recognise a provision in the range of US$1.1 billion to US$1.3 billion, which is approximately equivalent to a 50 per cent share of the current estimate of Samarco&#146;s funding obligations under the terms of
the Framework Agreement (<B>Agreemen</B><B>t</B>) entered into on 2 March 2016. This reflects the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the nature and timing of a potential restart of Samarco&#146;s operations. The associated income statement charge will
be recognised as an exceptional item in the June 2016 half-year, together with direct costs of approximately US$100 million (post tax). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Samarco and its
shareholders continue to believe that the Agreement provides an effective long-term framework to remediate and compensate for the impacts of the Samarco dam failure. The Foundation provided for under the Agreement has been established to deliver the
socioeconomic and environmental programs outlined in the Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP Billiton Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Mackenzie said: &#147;The recognition of
the provision demonstrates our support for the long-term recovery of the communities and environment affected by the Samarco tragedy and the belief we have that the Agreement is the most appropriate mechanism to do this.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BHP Billiton Board of Directors also approved US$134 million to support the Foundation to allow the continuation of reparatory and compensatory programs.
This amount will be offset against the provision recognised today. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A further short-term facility of up to US$116 million is being made available to
Samarco to carry out remediation and stabilisation work and to support Samarco&#146;s operations. Funds will be released to Samarco only as required and subject to the achievement of key milestones. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The short-term facility announced today will preserve the value of BHP Billiton&#146;s investment while we continue to monitor developments. The safe restart
of the Samarco operations remains an important priority, along with the restructure of Samarco&#146;s debt. </P>
