•

This notification relates to changes of a total of 26 shares in Edgar Basto-Baez's interest in ordinary shares in BHP Group Limited. These shares are held within a fully discretionary superannuation fund portfolio in which Mr Basto-Baez has an interest.

•

Mr Basto-Baez's fund manager who has discretion over the portfolio sold the 16 ordinary shares and acquired the 42 ordinary shares on behalf of the superannuation fund portfolio, without the instruction or knowledge of Mr Basto-Baez.

•

The acquisition and sale of ordinary shares occurred outside of the closed periods under BHP's Securities Dealing policy and were not previously notified due to an oversight, which has been corrected now that it has been identified by Mr Basto-Baez and his fund manager. The fund now has a holding lock which prohibits any dealings in BHP shares.
