• 34,589 ordinary shares in BHP Group Limited following the vesting of Deferred Shares under the FY2018 Short Term Incentive Plan;
• 111,483 ordinary shares in BHP Group Limited following the vesting of the 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan awards*; and
• 23,047 ordinary shares in BHP Group Limited in accordance with the Group’s policy on Dividend Equivalent Payments.
An on-market sale of 67,162 BHP Group Limited ordinary shares on the Australian Securities Exchange, made in order to meet expected tax obligations.
The lapse of 100,027 Performance Shares (ordinary shares of BHP Group Limited) under the 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan*.
* The five-year performance period for the 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan ended on 30 June 2020. Mike Henry’s 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan award comprised 192,360 awards (awarded prior to his appointment as CEO), subject to achievement of the relative Total Shareholder Return performance conditions and a holistic “look back” review of performance over the five-year period by the Remuneration Committee. For the award to vest in full, Total Shareholder Return must exceed a Peer Group Total Shareholder Return (for 67 per cent of the award) and an Index Total Shareholder Return (for 33 per cent of the award) by an average of 5.5 per cent per year for five years, being 30.7 per cent in total compounded over the performance period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2020. Total Shareholder Return includes returns to BHP shareholders in the form of share price movements along with dividends paid and reinvested in BHP (including cash and in-specie dividends). BHP’s Total Shareholder Return performance was positive 29.0 per cent over the five-year period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2020. This is above the weighted median Peer Group Total Shareholder Return of positive 9.6 per cent and below the Index Total Shareholder Return of positive 38.5 per cent over the same period. This level of performance results in 48 per cent vesting for the 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan awards. The Remuneration Committee reviewed performance holistically over the five-year period, and determined that it was appropriate to allow 48 per cent of the 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan awards to vest. |
