factors, many of which are beyond the control of Woodside, BHP and their respective related bodies corporate and affiliates (and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, consultants, contractors, agents, advisers and
representatives), and could cause results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements or any projections or
assumptions on which those statements are based. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The forward-looking statements are subject to risk factors, including those associated with the oil and

differ materially, including but not limited to: price fluctuations, actual demand, currency fluctuations, geotechnical factors, drilling and production results, gas commercialisation, development progress, operating results, engineering estimates,
reserve estimates, loss of market, industry competition, environmental risks, physical risks, legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments, economic and financial markets, conditions in various countries, approvals and cost estimates. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investors are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, particularly in light of the current economic climate and the
significant uncertainty and disruption caused by the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic. Forward-looking statements are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied on as an indication or guarantee of future
performance. These statements may assume the success of the Transaction, BHP&#146;s oil and gas portfolio or Woodside&#146;s business strategies, the success of which may not be realised within the period for which the forward-looking statements may
have been prepared, or at all. No guarantee, representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the accuracy, likelihood of achievement or reasonableness of any forecasts, prospects, returns, statements or tax treatment in relation to
