**Item 4.** **Description of Securities.** <br>

Not applicable.

**Item 5.** **Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.** <br>

Not applicable.

**Item 6.** **Indemnification of Directors and Officers.** <br>

Set forth below is a description of certain provisions of BHP Group Limited's constitution and the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia ("Corporations Act"), as such provisions relate to the indemnification of the directors and officers of the registrant. This description is intended only as a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference the constitution and the Corporations Act.

------

Rule 146 of the Constitution of BHP Group Limited requires the company to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, its directors, secretaries and executive officers against liability incurred in, or arising out of, the conduct of the business of the company or the discharge of the duties of the relevant director, secretary or executive officer.

In accordance with this requirement, BHP Group Limited has entered into "Deeds of Indemnity, Insurance and Access" with each of its directors. In addition, BHP Group has a policy that it will, as a general rule, support and hold harmless an employee, including an employee appointed as a director of a subsidiary, who, while acting in good faith, incurs personal liability to others as a result of working for BHP Group.

The directors and officers of BHP Group Limited and its duly authorized United States representative are insured against certain liabilities, including certain insured liabilities under United States securities laws, which they may incur in their capacity as such under a liability insurance policy carried by the BHP Group.

BHP Group has insured against amounts that it may be liable to pay to directors, company secretaries or certain employees (including former officers) pursuant to the constitution of BHP Group Limited, which BHP Group otherwise agrees to pay by way of indemnity ("Directors and Officers insurance"). The Directors and Officers insurance policy also insures directors, company secretaries and some employees (including former officers) against certain liabilities (including legal costs) they may incur in carrying out their duties. BHP Group has paid premiums for this Directors and Officers insurance.

There are certain provisions of the Corporations Act that restrict BHP Group Limited from indemnifying directors, secretaries and executive officers or paying a premium for a contract insuring a person who is or has been an officer of the company against a liability (other than one for legal costs) in certain circumstances. These are described below.

**<u>Australian law and Corporations Act</u>**

Section 199A(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a company or a related body corporate must not exempt a person (whether directly or through an interposed entity) from a liability to the company incurred as an officer of the company.

Section 199A(2) of the Corporations Act provides that a company or a related body corporate must not indemnify a person (whether by agreement or by making a payment and whether directly or through an interposed entity) against any of the following liabilities incurred as an officer of the company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a liability owed to the company or a related body corporate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a liability for a pecuniary penalty order or compensation order under specified provisions of the Corporations
Act; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a liability that is owed to someone other than the company or a related body corporate that did not arise out of
conduct in good faith.

Section 199A(2) does not apply to a liability for legal costs.

Section 199A(3) provides that a company or a related body corporate must not indemnify a person (whether by agreement or by making a payment and whether directly or through an interposed entity) against legal costs incurred in defending an action for a liability incurred as an officer of the company if the costs are incurred:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in defending or resisting proceedings in which the person is found to have a liability for which they could not
be indemnified under Section 199A(2); or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in defending or resisting criminal proceedings in which the person is found guilty; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in defending or resisting proceedings brought by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission
("ASIC") or a liquidator for a court order if the grounds for making the order are found by the court to have been established (this does not apply to costs incurred in responding to actions taken by ASIC or a liquidator as part of an
investigation before commencing proceedings for the court order); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in connection with proceedings for relief to the person under the Corporations Act in which the court denies the
relief.

Section 199B of the Corporations Act provides that a company or a related body corporate must not pay, or agree to pay, a premium for a contract insuring a person who is or has been an officer of the company against a liability (other than one for legal costs) arising out of (i) conduct involving a willful breach of any duty in relation to the company; or (ii) a contravention of the officer's duties under the Corporations Act not to improperly use their position or make improper use of information obtained as an officer.

For the purpose of Sections 199A and 199B, an "officer" of a company includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a director or secretary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a person who makes, or participates in making, decisions that affect the whole, or a substantial part, of the
business of the company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a person who has the capacity to significantly affect the company's financial standing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a person in accordance with whose instructions or wishes the directors of the company are accustomed to act.

**Item 7.** **Exemption From Registration Claimed.** <br>

Not applicable.

**Item 8.** **Exhibits.** <br>

The exhibits that are filed with or incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement are set out in the exhibit index below.

**Item 8.** **Undertakings.** <br>

The registrant hereby undertakes (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

------

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

3 Acquired Shares

**3.1** **Acquired Shares** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Shares that are to be purchased by or on behalf of a Participant may be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) new Shares to be issued by the Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) existing Shares to be purchased whether on the Exchange or otherwise,

as determined by the Board from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Board may at any time determine how Acquired Shares are to be held under the Plan prior to satisfaction of
the Matching Conditions. Without limiting the Board's discretion, the Board may establish a trust for the purposes of the Plan to hold these Acquired Shares.

**3.2** **Advice to Participants** 

A Participant who has applied to purchase Acquired Shares under the Plan will be regularly advised of the number of Acquired Shares that have been purchased on his or her behalf and the maximum number of conditional rights to Matched Shares attached to those Acquired Shares.

**3.3** **Shareholder entitlements – Acquired Shares** 

Subject to these rules, a Participant is absolutely entitled to each Acquired Share purchased by or on behalf of that Participant and will be entitled to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) direct the manner in which their Acquired Shares are voted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) receive all dividends paid or credited on the Acquired Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) participate in any corporate action or capital re-organisation involving the Acquired Shares; and

![LOGO](g785569g0815144119510.jpg)

**3.4** **Entitlements – Acquired Units** 

Where a Participant receives Acquired Units (instead of Acquired Shares), the Participant will be entitled to a dividend equivalent payment which shall be paid to the Participant as soon as practicable after a dividend has been paid on a Share but no earlier than the time at which a Participant receiving an Acquired Share receives a dividend for an Acquired Share. The dividend equivalent payment will be equal to the dividend paid on one Share multiplied by the number of Acquired Units and Matched Units held by the Participant.

**3.5** **Transaction costs** 

The Company is authorised, but not required, to bear all brokerage, commission, stamp duty or other transaction costs payable in relation to the acquisition of Shares (whether Acquired Shares or Matched Shares) by or on behalf of the Participants under the Plan.

**3.6** **Listing** 

Following the issue of any new Shares under this Plan, the Company will, where shares in the same class as the newly issued Shares are quoted on the Exchange, apply to the Exchange for quotation of those Shares no later than the end of the restriction period (if any) applicable to the Shares, unless otherwise required by the Listing Rules.

4 Restriction on purchase and disposal of Shares

**4.1** **Restriction period and other conditions** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Board may, in its discretion, determine that a restriction period or other conditions will apply to some or
all of the Acquired Shares and/or some or all of the Matched Shares, and may determine the terms and conditions applying to any such restriction period or other conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If the Board determines a restriction period, a Participant must not dispose of or otherwise deal, or purport
to deal, with any Acquired Shares and/or Matched Shares (or entitlement to Matched Shares) which are subject to a restriction period otherwise than in accordance with any process determined by the Board for the withdrawal of Shares from the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If the Board determines that no restriction period applies, or does not impose a restriction period, in respect
of Acquired Shares and/or Matched Shares (or entitlement to Matched Shares), a Participant may deal with those Shares (or that entitlement) subject to rule 4.1(d) and the Securities Dealing Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If the Board imposes another condition in accordance with rule 4.1(a), a Participant must satisfy that
condition.

**4.2** **Enforcement of restriction period** 

The Company may implement any procedure it considers appropriate to restrict a Participant from dealing with any Shares allocated to or on behalf of a Participant for as long as those Shares are subject to a restriction period.

5 Matched Shares

**5.1** **Matching Conditions** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject to rules 4.1(b) and 4.1(d), upon satisfaction of the Matching Conditions a Participant becomes entitled
to Matched Shares in the ratio advised in the invitation pursuant to rule 2.1 for each Acquired Share held at the end of the Qualification Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Unless the Board determines otherwise, a Participant is not legally or beneficially entitled to a Matched Share
or Matched Unit prior to satisfaction of the Matching Conditions and will only become entitled to vote, receive dividends and participate in any corporate actions or capital reorganisation affecting the Matched Shares or receive a dividend
equivalent payment in respect of a Matched Unit after the Allocation Date.

**5.2** **Qualification Period** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Qualification Period means the period prescribed by the Board from time to time during which a Participant
must remain employed by a Group Company for the Participant to be eligible to continue to participate in the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Board may (but is not obliged to) extend the last date of the Qualification Period for a Participant if
that Participant is prohibited from dealing in Shares pursuant to the Securities Dealing Policy.

6 Cessation of employment

**6.1** **Acquired Shares** 

Unless the Board determines otherwise, where a Participant ceases to be an employee of a Group Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Participant ceases to participate in the Plan and no further Acquired Shares will be purchased for or on
behalf of that Participant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any restriction period imposed on any Acquired Shares purchased by or on behalf of the Participant also ceases.

**6.2** **Matched Shares before satisfaction of Matching Conditions** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Unless the Board determines otherwise, a Participant (other than a Good Leaver) who ceases to be an employee of
a Group Company prior to becoming entitled to Matched Shares in accordance with rule 5.1 loses all conditional rights to the Matched Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Board may in its absolute discretion determine that a Participant is a Good Leaver and that that
Participant is entitled to all or some of the Matched Shares:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) upon the Good Leaver ceasing to be an employee of a Group Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) where the Good Leaver ceases to be an employee of a Group Company during a Prohibited Period and the Board
determines that it is appropriate to postpone the date the Participant is allocated the Matched Shares, upon the first day after the end of that Prohibited Period.

2065089566 BHP Group Limited Global Employee Share Plan page 9

------

![LOGO](g785569g0815144119510.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Without limiting the Board's discretion, the number of Matched Shares which the Board may allocate to a
Good Leaver under rule 6.2(b) will, in general, be determined having regard to the number of months that the Good Leaver has been employed during the Qualification Period.

**6.3** **Matched Shares after satisfaction of Matching Conditions** 

Unless the Board determines otherwise, if the terms of issue do not provide for immediate allocation of Matched Shares following satisfaction of the Matching Conditions, then all Matched Shares to which a Participant becomes entitled in accordance with rule 5.1 will be allocated:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) immediately upon that Participant ceasing to be an employee of a Group Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) where that Participant ceases to be an employee of a Group Company during a Prohibited Period and the Board
determines that it is appropriate to postpone the date the Participant is allocated the Matched Shares, upon the first day after the end of that Prohibited Period.

**6.4** **Cash settlement** 

Notwithstanding any other provision in these rules, the Board retains a discretion to make a cash payment in lieu of allocation of Matched Shares under the Plan (whether on cessation of employment, death, or otherwise), and the Company may sell a Participant's Acquired Shares and Matched Shares to assist with funding any such cash payment.

7 Corporate actions

**7.1** **Reconstructions** 

Subject to the Listing Rules, if the Company reconstructs its capital in any way, Shares acquired under the Plan will be affected in the same way as other Shares.

**7.2** **Takeovers** 

In the event of each of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) an offer being made for the entire or majority of the issued share capital of the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) such offer for Shares becoming unconditional, the Board may, in its absolute discretion, determine that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) any restrictions imposed in accordance with rule 4 cease; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) any Matching Conditions that have not been satisfied as at the relevant time have been satisfied in whole or
part.

![LOGO](g785569g0815144119510.jpg)

**7.3** **Mergers** 

If the Company merges with another company or another corporate action (including a scheme of arrangement) is sanctioned by the court or approved by the Company's shareholders pursuant to which control of the company passes from the then current shareholders of the Company to another person or persons, the Board may, in its discretion, determine that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any restrictions imposed in accordance with rule 4 cease; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any Matching Conditions that have not been satisfied as at the relevant time have been satisfied in whole or
part.

**7.4** **Divestment of material business or subsidiary** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Where the Company divests a business or subsidiary designated by the Board for the purpose of this rule as
"material", the Board may make special rules that apply to some or all of the Participant's Acquired Shares and Matched Shares to ensure that the Participant is not materially advantaged or disadvantaged by the divestment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Without limiting the Board's discretion in rule 7.4(a), such rules may include varying the Matching
Conditions advised to a Participant, deeming that a Participant remain an employee of the Group for a specific period, and/or resolving any difficulty regarding the treatment of Acquired Shares and/or Matched Shares in respect of the transaction or
the distribution or rounding of entitlements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after making any special rules under this rule 7.4, the Board will give
notice in writing of those special rules to any affected Participant.

8 Administration of the Plan

**8.1** **Board powers** 

The Board will administer the Plan and may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) delegate to any person for the period and on the terms it decides the exercise of any of its powers or
discretions under the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) decide on appropriate procedures for administering the Plan, including the form of application and other forms
and notices to be issued under the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) resolve conclusively all questions of fact or interpretation concerning the Plan and these rules and any
dispute of any kind that arises under the Plan, including as to the interpretation of the Plan or any restrictions or other conditions relating to any Shares allocated under the Plan, and the decision of the Board is final and binding upon all
persons;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) amend, add to or waive all or any of the provisions of the Plan (including this rule), or any restriction or
other condition relating to any Shares allocated under the Plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) waive any breach of a provision of the Plan.

**8.2** **Legal and administrative constraints and Sub-Plans** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Despite any other rule, an Employee may not purchase Acquired Shares or be allocated Matched Shares under the
Plan if it appears to the Board that doing so would contravene these rules, the Company's constitution, the Listing Rules or any law of a jurisdiction in which the person resides or, at the Board's discretion, would give rise to
unreasonable cost or regulatory requirements for the Company.

2065089566 BHP Group Limited Global Employee Share Plan page 11

------

![LOGO](g785569g0815144119510.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Board may adopt rules of the Plan applicable in any jurisdiction
(**Sub-Plans**) under which Shares offered under the Plan or the way in which the Plan is operated may be subject to additional or modified terms, having regard to any securities, exchange control or
taxation laws or regulations or similar factors which may apply to an Employee or to any Group Company in relation to the Shares or any of the provisions of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Where it is legally or administratively prohibitive or impractical for Employees in particular jurisdictions to
purchase Acquired Shares or be allocated Matched Shares under the Plan, the Board may in its absolute discretion elect to implement an alternative plan to ensure Employees located in those jurisdictions are able to participate.

**8.3** **Limitation on amendments** 

Subject to these rules, without the consent of the Participant, no amendment may be made to any restriction or other condition relating to any Acquired Shares purchased or Matched Shares to which a Participant becomes entitled under the Plan, which reduces the rights of Participants to those Shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) without the consent of the Company in general meeting no amendment may be made which is to the advantage of
Employees in respect of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) eligibility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the maximum value of Acquired Shares that an Employee may purchase under the Plan pursuant to rule 2.1(c)(1);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) the maximum ratio of Matched Shares to Acquired Shares that may be awarded to a Participant under rule
2.1(c)(5);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) the limitation on the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan pursuant to rule 9;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) the basis for determining the entitlement of a Participant to any Shares; and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) the provisions applicable on a variation of capital, other than a minor amendment made primarily to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) benefit the administration of the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) take account of a change in legislation; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) obtain or maintain favourable tax, exchange control or regulatory treatment for Participants or any Group
Company operating the Plan for its Employees.

**8.4** **Board's Discretion** 

The Board has absolute and unfettered discretion:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to act or refrain from acting under these rules or concerning the Plan or any Shares allocated under the Plan;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) in exercising any power or discretion concerning the Plan or any Shares allocated under the Plan.

9 Issue limitations

**9.1** **10% in 10 years** 

The number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan on any day must not exceed 10% of the combined issued ordinary share capital of the Company immediately before that day, when added to the total number of Shares which have been issued in the previous 10 years under the Plan and any other employee share scheme operated by the Company.

**9.2** **5% in 3 years** 

The number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan on any day must not exceed 5% of the combined issued ordinary share capital of the Company immediately before that day, when added to the total number of Shares which have been issued in the previous 3 years under the Plan.

**9.3** **Exclusions** 

For the avoidance of doubt, where the right to be allocated Matched Shares is released or lapses, the Matched Shares concerned are ignored when calculating the limits in this rule 9.

10 No compensation or damages

**10.1** **Terms of employment not affected** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The rights and obligations of a Participant under the terms of his or her office, employment or contract with a
Group Company are not affected by his or her participation in the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) These rules do not form part of, and will not be incorporated into, any contract of a Participant (whether or
not they are an employee of a Group Company).

**10.2** **No right to compensation** 

No Participant has any right to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of his or her office, employment or other contract with a Group Company for any reason (whether lawful or unlawful) in connection with the Participant ceasing to have rights under the Plan as a result of the termination.

The Board may at any time decide that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) all, or any, Group Companies should pay specified amounts under the Plan, in respect of Shares to be purchased

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Participants should pay specified amounts under the Plan as directed by the Company in respect of Shares to be
purchased under the Plan; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Company may provide additional benefits for any Participant on such terms as the Board determines.

12 Withholding

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If any Group Company or its representative is obliged, or reasonably believes they have an obligation, as a
result of or in connection with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the purchase of any Acquired Shares by or on behalf of a Participant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the grant, vesting or allocation of any Matched Shares to or on behalf of a Participant; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) the payment of an amount equivalent to an Acquired Share, Matched Share or dividend payable on an Acquired or
Matched Share by, to or on behalf of a Participant,

to account for income tax or employment taxes under any wage, withholding or other arrangements or for any other tax, social security contributions or levy or charge of a similar nature, then that Group Company or its representative is entitled to, at their election:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) withhold such amounts and make such arrangements as it considers necessary; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) be reimbursed by the Participant, for the amounts so paid or payable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Where paragraph (a) applies, a Group Company is not obliged to pay the relevant amount or issue, transfer
or allocate the relevant Shares to the Participant unless the Group Company or its representative is satisfied that arrangements have been made for withholding, payment or reimbursement. Those arrangements may include, without limitation, at the
Group Company or its representative's election:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the Participant foregoing their entitlement to an equivalent number of Shares that would otherwise be issued,
transferred or allocated to the Participant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) a reduction in any amount under rule 12(a)(3) that is otherwise payable to the Participant; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) the sale, on behalf of the Participant, of Shares issued, transferred or otherwise to be allocated to the
Participant and where this happens, the Participant will also reimburse the costs of any such sale (e.g. stamp duty, brokerage, etc.).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Board may require any Participant, as a condition of the allocation of any Matched Shares, to enter into an
agreement transferring any liability of any Group Company to social security contributions in respect of those shares or options.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) by the Company to an Employee, if delivered personally to the addressee or sent by prepaid post to his or her
last known residential address, or sent to him or her by facsimile or email at his or her place of work or posted on an electronic noticeboard maintained by the Company and accessible by the Employee; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) by an Employee to the Company if delivered or sent by prepaid post addressed to the company secretary of the
Company at the Company's registered office (or any other address the Board specifies).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) A notice or other communication sent by post will be treated as received 48 hours after it was posted.

14 Data Protection

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) From time to time the personal data of a Participant will be collected, used, stored, transferred and otherwise
processed in order to allow the Company and any other relevant Group Company to incentivise their officers and employees and to operate and administer the Plan and to fulfil its or their obligations to the Participant under the Plan, and for other
purposes relating to or which may become related to the Participant's office or employment, the operation of the Plan or the business of the Group Companies or to comply with legal obligations. Such processing will principally be for, but will
not be limited to, personnel, administrative, financial, regulatory or payroll purposes as well as for the purposes of introducing and administering the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The personal data to be processed as referred to in this rule 14 may be disclosed or transferred to, and/or
processed by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) any professional advisors of any Group Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) any revenue, regulatory or governmental authorities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) a trustee of an employee benefit trust established for the benefit of directors and/or employees of any Group
Company; any registrars, brokers, payroll providers or other third party administrators (or similar) appointed in connection with any employee share or incentive plans operated by any Group Company; or any other person appointed (whether by the
Participant or any Group Company) to act as nominee or custodian on behalf of (or provide a similar service to) the Participant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) subject to appropriate confidentiality undertakings, any prospective purchasers of, and/or any person who
obtains control of or acquires, the Company or the whole or part of the business of the Group Companies; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) any Group Company and officers, employees or agents of such Group Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) To the extent that the processing of the personal data of a Participant is not subject to EU Regulation
2016/679 (**EU GDPR**), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (**UK GDPR**) or the UK Data Protection Act 2018, each Participant consents to the holding and processing of personal data as referred to in this rule 14.

2065089566 BHP Group Limited Global Employee Share Plan page 15

------

![LOGO](g785569g0815144119510.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Rule 14(c) shall not apply in respect of any Participant the processing of whose personal data is subject to EU
GDPR, UK GDPR or the UK Data Protection Act 2018, and the legal grounds for the processing of the personal data of such Participant will (depending on the nature and purpose of any specific instance of processing) be one of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) such processing being necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of the Company and each other
Group Company in incentivising their officers and employees and operating the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) such processing being necessary for the purposes of any relevant data controller in respect of such personal
data complying with its legal obligations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) such processing being necessary for the performance of the contractual obligations arising under the Plan.

The collection and processing of such personal data for such purposes is a contractual requirement of participation in the Plan. Details in relation to the processing of such personal data referred to in this rule 14(d), and of the Participant's rights in connection with such processing, are available in the Global Employee Privacy Notice (or any similar provisions of any employee privacy policy or employee handbook) operated from time to time by any Group Company in respect of such Participant, and any such Participant may obtain such notice or policy from their employing company. In this rule 14(d), 'personal data' and 'data controller' each have the meaning given in EU GDPR or UK GDPR as appropriate.

15 Custody arrangements

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Legal title to any Shares which are due to be transferred to the Participant pursuant to the Plan may
(notwithstanding any other rule) be transferred to a person (the **'Custodian** ') appointed by the Company from time to time to hold legal title to such Shares on behalf of the Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Custodian will receive and hold Shares on behalf of the Participant in accordance with such terms and
conditions as are agreed by the Company from time to time, and by participating in the Plan the Participant irrevocably agrees to those terms and conditions (which will be made available to the Participant on request to the Company).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The transfer of any Shares to the Custodian will satisfy any obligation of the Company under the Plan to
transfer Shares to the Participant (and references in the Plan to Shares (or legal title thereof) having been transferred to the Participant will be read accordingly).

16 Error in Allocation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) If any Share is provided under these rules in error or by mistake to a person (**Mistaken Recipient**) who
is not the intended recipient, the Mistaken Recipient will have no right or interest, and will be taken never to have had any right or interest in, that Share and the Share will immediately be forfeited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If any Share is provided under these rules in error or by mistake in excess of the number of Shares that should
have been provided to a person (**Mistaken Recipient**), the Mistaken Recipient will have no right or interest in the Share and the Share will immediately be forfeited.

2065089566 BHP Group Limited Global Employee Share Plan page 16

------

![LOGO](g785569g0815144119510.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If any cash payment is paid under these Rules in error or by mistake to a person who is not the intended
recipient (**Mistaken Recipient**), the Mistaken Recipient will have no right to retain that cash payment and the Company may take whatever steps it deems necessary to seek repayment of that cash payment as a debt.

17 Fraud or dishonesty

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In the case of Matched Shares allocated to a Participant under the Plan, if in the opinion of the Board a
Participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly or is in material breach of his or her obligations to any Group Entity, the Board may at its discretion deem the Participant to have forfeited any right or interest in the Matched Shares or any other
entitlements under the Plan in relation to those Matched Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If Matched Shares are forfeited under this rule 17, the Board is irrevocably authorised by the Participant:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) to execute on behalf of and in the name of that Participant as transferor and any person nominated by the Board
as transferee a transfer in registerable form of all Matched Shares allocated to the Participant that have been forfeited; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) to deliver the transfer with any necessary title documents to the Company to register.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Board is not obliged to exercise these powers under this rule 17 within any time limit. The proceeds of
sale will be forfeited by the relevant Participant.

**18.1** **Additional disclosure given offers for monetary consideration** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The terms of an offer, comprising these Rules, the offer made under rule 2 and any supporting information

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) a new circumstance has arisen during the application period which means the Offer Documents are out of date, or
otherwise not correct, in a material respect.

**18.3** **Liability**

**18.4** **Limitation of Liability** 

The Company or a Relevant Person is not liable for any loss or damage suffered by a Participant because of a contravention of rule 18.2 (Misleading Statements and Omissions), if:

**Opinion of Herbert Smith Freehills** 

171 Collins Street Melbourne, Victoria 3000 Australia 22 August 2025 By Email

Dear Stefanie

**BHP Group Ltd – Registration Statement on Form S-8** 

We have acted as Australian counsel for BHP Group Limited (ACN 004 028 077), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Australia ("**BHP**" or "**Company**"), in connection with the registration statement on Form S-8 filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**") on 22 August 2025 (the "**Registration Statement**"), under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**") with respect to an additional 10,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares of the Company, no par value per share ("**Shares**"), which includes the Shares underlying the American Depositary Shares (together with the Shares, the "**Securities**"), to be delivered by the Company in connection with awards to be granted under BHP's Employee Cash and Equity Plan and BHP Global Employee Share Plan (the "**Share Plans**") to employees who are participants in the Share Plans who are residents or citizens of the United States.

We have:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) reviewed the Registration Statement and the Share Plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) reviewed, examined and relied upon the originals, or electronic or physical copies of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the constitution of the Company ()"**Constitution** ");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) received, examined and relied upon written representations regarding certain factual matters relating to the
administration of the Share Plans from the Company in a letter dated 18 August 2025.

For the purposes of this opinion, we have not reviewed any documents other than those referred to above and have not taken, and are not obliged to take, any steps to verify the assumptions contained in this opinion.

| **2** | **Assumptions**  |

---

In examining the Documents and for the purposes of this opinion, we have assumed:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the genuineness of all signatures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the authenticity of all Documents submitted to us as originals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any resolutions provided to us have been duly and properly approved by the Board and/or Committee and have not
been varied or revoked;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the conformity to original documents of all Documents submitted to us as copies, whether physical or
electronic, and the authenticity of the originals of those copies and, where a Document has been examined by us in draft or specimen form, it will be or has been executed in the form of that draft or specimen;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) that all Documents submitted to us are true and complete and, where expressed to have any legal effect, are in
or have taken full force and effect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) nothing has occurred to vary, terminate or otherwise affect any Document or its legal effect or any resolution,
instruction, approval or consent evidenced by it;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) each natural person or entity signing any Document reviewed by us had the legal capacity and authority to do so
and to perform his or her obligations thereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) to the extent that the Company or its directors have the right to make elections or exercise discretions in the
future in respect of allocations of Shares pursuant to the Share Plans, that such elections and/or discretions are properly authorised and made at the time; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) all information provided to us, and any representations made to us by officers and employees of the Company in
connection with this opinion are true, correct and complete as to questions of fact when provided and remain so at the date of this opinion, containing all information required, without us making any separate enquiry or investigation, in order for
us to provide this opinion.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3** | **Opinion**  |

---

Based upon the assumptions under paragraph 2 of this letter and the review of the documents referred to in paragraph 1, and subject to the qualifications under paragraph 4 of this letter, we are of the opinion that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to the extent Shares will consist of newly issued ordinary shares of the Company, such Shares, when issued in
accordance with the terms of the Share Plans, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to the extent Shares will consist of already issued ordinary shares of the Company, such Shares, when acquired,
allocated, and duly registered in accordance with the terms of the Share Plans, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

For the purpose of this opinion, the term "non-assessable", when used to describe the liability of a person as the registered holder of shares has no clear meaning under the laws of Australia, so we have assumed those words to mean that, under the *Corporations Act 2001* (Cth), the Constitution, and any resolution taken under the Constitution approving the issue of the Shares, no holder of the Securities is liable, by reason solely of being a holder of Securities, for additional payments or calls for further funds by the Company or any creditor of the Company. The holder of the Shares may be assessable for tax on their Shares.

the effect of any other laws;

(Melbourne time) on this date, and we undertake no, and disclaim any, duty to advise you regarding any changes in, or to otherwise communicate with you with respect to, the matters and opinion set forth herein; and
