<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP today announced that it has entered into agreements for the sale of its entire interests in the Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Permian and Fayetteville Onshore
US oil and gas assets for a combined base consideration of US$10.8 billion, payable in cash. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BP American Production Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of
BP Plc, has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Petrohawk Energy Corporation, the BHP subsidiary which holds the Eagle Ford, Haynesville and Permian assets, for a consideration of US$10.5 billion (less customary completion
adjustments). One-half of the consideration is payable at completion, with the balance (deferred consideration) being payable in six equal instalments over a six month period, the first instalment to be paid one month after completion. Payment of
the deferred consideration is not subject to any conditions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">MMGJ Hugoton III, LLC, a company owned by Merit Energy Company, has agreed to acquire 100%
of the issued share capital of BHP Billiton Petroleum (Arkansas) Inc and 100% of the membership interests in BHP Billiton Petroleum (Fayetteville) LLC, which hold the Fayetteville assets, for a total consideration of US$0.3 billion (less customary
completion adjustments), payable at completion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Both sales are subject to the satisfaction of customary regulatory approvals and conditions precedent,
and we expect completion to occur by the end of October 2018. The effective date at which the right to economic profits would transfer to the purchasers is 1&nbsp;July 2018. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Mackenzie, said: &#147;Our priority with this transaction is to maximise value and returns to shareholders. In August
2017, we confirmed that we would seek to exit our US shale assets for value. Following a robust and competitive process, we have delivered on that commitment. We are pleased that we have agreed to sell all of our shale assets in two simple
transactions that provide certainty for shareholders and our employees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;The sale of our Onshore US assets is consistent with our long-term plan to
continue to simplify and strengthen our portfolio to generate shareholder value and returns for decades to come. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;With net debt currently toward the lower end of our target range of US$10 to US$15 billion, and consistent
with our Capital Allocation Framework, we expect to return the net proceeds from the transactions to shareholders. We will confirm how, and when, at the time of completion of the transactions.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP expects to recognise an impairment charge of approximately US$2.8 billion post-tax (or approximately US$2.9 billion pre-tax) against the carrying value of
its Onshore US assets. The impairment charge will be recognised as an exceptional item in the results for the 2018 financial year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP anticipates that
the estimated income tax expense from the transactions will be approximately US$0.2 billion, and that the estimated cash tax payable will be less than US$0.1 billion after utilisation of carried forward tax losses held by the BHP US tax consolidated
group. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP will continue to operate the assets until completion and will work closely with the purchasers to ensure a smooth transition of ownership.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to the demerger of South32, BHP has announced or completed more than US$18 billion of divestments over the last six years. </P>
