<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP Group (<B>BHP</B>) is pleased to announce that the merger of BHP&#146;s oil and gas portfolio with Woodside Energy Group Limited (<B>Woodside</B>) by an
all-stock merger (<B>Merger</B>) has completed today. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP received 914,768,948 Woodside shares as consideration for the sale of BHP Petroleum. BHP has
paid the in specie dividend and distributed Woodside shares today in line with the details described in BHP&#146;s announcement on 20 May 2022. As a result, BHP has now distributed Woodside shares to eligible BHP shareholders. BHP dividend
statements and Woodside holding statements are expected to be despatched to eligible BHP shareholders in mid-June 2022. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The closing price of Woodside
shares on ASX on 31 May 2022 was A$29.76<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">1</SUP>. The implied value of the in specie dividend was therefore A$27.2 billion (US$19.6 billion). At this valuation, the in specie dividend is approximately
A$5.38<I> </I>(US$3.86), with A$2.30 (US$1.66) of franking credits being distributed, per BHP share. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As part of completion, BHP has made a net cash
payment of approximately US$0.7 billion to Woodside. In addition, approximately US$0.3 billion in cash will be left in the BHP Petroleum bank accounts to fund the ongoing operations. This reflects the net cash flows generated by BHP Petroleum, less
cash dividends paid by Woodside to BHP, between the Merger effective date of 1 July 2021 and completion. This net payment to Woodside will be subject to a customary post-completion review which may result in an adjustment to the amount paid. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BHP Chief Executive Officer, Mike Henry said: &#147;The merger of our petroleum assets with Woodside creates a global energy company with the scale and
opportunity to help supply the energy needed for global growth and development in a rapidly decarbonising world. Our shareholders will now have exposure to assets in two organisations, BHP and Woodside, each with a very clear focus, strategy and
value proposition. BHP&#146;s world class portfolio is weighted towards commodities which support economic growth and have decarbonisation upside and combined with our operational excellence will underpin attractive returns and long-term value
growth.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="line-height:8.0pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:2pt;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;width:11%">&nbsp;</P>
