The AGM will be held on Wednesday 30 October 2024 at 10:00am (Brisbane time). I am delighted that we will meet with shareholders in person again this year. For those shareholders not able to join us in person, we invite you to participate in the meeting by submitting questions and your proxy vote in advance of the meeting. You may also watch the webcast live online at bhp.com/agm. Details can be found in this Notice of Meeting. FY2024 and our priorities Our operational and financial performance was strong in FY2024 and we made solid progress against our social value and sustainability commitments. It is more than four years since we began the strategic transformation of BHP’s portfolio towards future-facing commodities and the world has changed markedly in that time. Today, BHP has a portfolio of world class assets focused on products that are critical to the future. However, FY2024 was overshadowed by a fatality. We are deeply saddened by the fatality of a team member at the BMA Saraji mine in Queensland. Our heartfelt thoughts and condolences go to their family and friends. Safety is our top priority and our commitment to zero fatalities and serious injuries at BHP is unwavering. 2024 Climate Transition Action Plan Our 2024 Climate Transition Action Plan (2024 CTAP) provides an update on our climate strategy and our progress and plans in relation to our greenhouse gas emissions goals and targets. Our plan reaffirms our intent to play our part in the global effort to achieve the world’s net zero ambitions – producing more of the essential commodities the world needs to develop and decarbonise, investing to reduce our operational greenhouse gas emissions, and collaborating to support lower greenhouse emissions in our value chain. BHP Group Limited ABN 49 004 028 077 is registered in Australia. Registered office: 171 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000, Australia.

Our 2024 CTAP was released with our Annual Reporting suite in August 2024, and continues our multi-decade focus on climate and underscores our commitment to becoming a more sustainable and resilient business. This is important work that will help set us up to grow long-term value for shareholders.

This Item does not require a vote, but shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity as a whole to ask questions or make comments about the management of BHP. Ernst & Young (EY), BHP’s Auditor, will also be present at the meeting. Shareholders as a whole will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask EY questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted by BHP in relation to the preparation of the Financial Statements, and the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

The biographical details, relevant qualifications, experience and skills of each of the Non-executive Directors standing for election or re-election are set out on the following pages. Under BHP’s Constitution, at least one third of Directors must retire (and may seek re-election) at each AGM. However, the Board has adopted a policy under which all Non-executive Directors must seek re-election annually. The Board annually reviews the performance of each Director seeking re-election at the AGM. The Nomination and Governance Committee has also reviewed the composition of the Board. Based on these reviews and for the reasons outlined on the following pages, the Board considers all Directors seeking election or re-election demonstrate commitment to their role. The contribution of each Director is and continues to be important to BHP’s long-term sustainable success. The Board as a whole has an appropriate mix of skills, backgrounds, knowledge, experience and diversity to operate effectively. All Non-executive Directors have been determined by the Board to be independent, on the basis that they are free of any interest, position or relationship that might influence or reasonably be perceived to influence in a material respect their capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of BHP as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder or other party. The Corporate Governance Statement 2024, available on BHP’s website at bhp.com/investors/annual-reporting, contains more information on the independence of Directors. The Board (with the relevant Director seeking election or re-election abstaining) recommends shareholders vote in favour of Items 2 to 10 for the reasons set out on the following pages.

Invitation from the Chair Notice of Annual General Meeting Explanatory Notes Participating and Voting 13 Item 11 Adoption of the Remuneration Report The Remuneration Report is on pages 115 131 of BHP’s Annual Report 2024. It includes information about our remuneration framework and remuneration arrangements for our Key Management Personnel (KMP) during FY2024. The vote on this Item is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or BHP. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into account when reviewing BHP’s remuneration framework. Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity as a whole to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report. Voting exclusion statement BHP will disregard any votes cast on Item 11: – by or on behalf of a member of BHP’s KMP who are named in BHP’s Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2024 or their closely related parties, regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast; or – as a proxy by a person who is a member of BHP’s KMP at the date of the AGM or their closely related parties, unless the vote is cast as proxy for a person entitled to vote on Item 11: – in accordance with a direction in the proxy form; or – by the Chair of the AGM pursuant to an express authorisation in the proxy form to exercise the proxy even though Item 11 is connected with the remuneration of BHP’s KMP. The Board recommends shareholders vote in favour of this Item. Item 12 Approval of equity grants to the Chief Executive Officer BHP is seeking shareholder approval to grant Mike Henry, the Chief Executive Officer and an Executive Director of BHP, the following securities under BHP’s Equity and Cash Incentive Plan rules (BHP’s Incentive Plan Rules), which were adopted by BHP’s People and Remuneration Committee on 25 September 2023. The incentives will be granted under two separate schemes: Scheme Grant Cash and Deferred Plan (CDP) 35,042 CDP two year awards and 35,042 CDP five year awards (CDP awards) Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) 127,848 LTIP awards with a face value equal to 200% of Mike’s annual base salary at the date of grant (i.e. US$1.893 million x 200% = US$3.786 million) (LTIP awards) If Item 12 is approved by shareholders, awards will be made under BHP’s Incentive Plan Rules for the CDP and LTIP awards on the terms set out below. Each CDP and LTIP award is a conditional right to one fully paid ordinary share in BHP, subject to meeting the applicable service and/or performance conditions. These conditional rights have been proposed as they create share price alignment between Mike and ordinary shareholders but do not provide him with the full benefits of share ownership (such as dividends and voting rights) unless and until the awards vest. Under Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Listing Rule 10.14, shareholder approval is required for an issue of BHP securities to Directors. Approval would not be required where the terms of the grant require that the underlying shares are purchased on-market. The Board is seeking shareholder approval in the interests of transparency and good governance, and to preserve flexibility for BHP to issue shares or purchase shares on market at the relevant time.
14 BHP Notice of Meeting 2024 Explanatory Notes continued CDP awards BHP is seeking shareholder approval to grant CDP awards to Mike Henry on the following basis: Key term Description Number of 35,042 CDP two year awards and 35,042 CDP five year awards. CDP awards Value of the As set out in the Remuneration Report released August 2024, the Board assessed Mike’s CDP awards performance against a FY2024 scorecard containing CDP performance conditions and determined the value of the FY2024 CDP awards for Mike was US$3.113 million. Under the CDP award terms: one third is paid in cash in September 2024; one third is granted as CDP two year awards; and one third is granted as CDP five year awards (subject to a review as set out below). Approval is being sought in relation to the grant of CDP two year awards and CDP five year awards. How the The proposed number of CDP awards to be granted to Mike was calculated using the number of following formula: CDP awards – the maximum value of the CDP grant (being US$1.038 million for the CDP two year awards was calculated and US$1.038 million for the CDP five year awards) multiplied by – the US$/A$ exchange rate (being the average exchange rate over the 12 months up to and including 30 June 2024, to convert the award value into Australian dollars) divided by – the average daily closing price of BHP shares traded on the ASX over the 12 months up to and including 30 June 2024, and – rounded down to the nearest whole number of awards. Vesting Subject to the ‘cessation of employment’ provision below, vesting of the CDP two year awards and conditions the CDP five year awards are subject to Mike’s continued employment with BHP until the end of the relevant vesting period. The vesting of the CDP five year awards is also subject to a satisfactory performance underpin, which encompasses a holistic review of performance at the end of the vesting period, including a review of safety and sustainability performance, profitability, cash flow, balance sheet health, returns to shareholders, corporate governance and conduct over the five year period. Vesting of On vesting, each CDP award will entitle Mike to receive one share in BHP (unless the Board CDP awards exercises its discretion to settle vested awards with a cash payment of equivalent value instead). Before vesting, the awards do not carry entitlements to ordinary dividends or other shareholder rights. A dividend equivalent payment (DEP) is provided on vested CDP awards in either cash or additional shares. The DEP is calculated as the value of dividends that would have been received over the vesting period if Mike had held shares in BHP, and where shares are provided, the DEP amount is divided by the closing price of BHP shares on the date prior to vesting. The decision to vest CDP awards is subject to the overriding discretion of the Board, which may adjust vesting outcomes upwards or downwards (including to zero) if appropriate, even if performance criteria has or has not been satisfied, including to better reflect shareholder expectations, to take into account the total value of the award at the time of any vesting, to account for personal or Group performance or any other factor that the Board reasonably determines is appropriate to take into account in the circumstances. The Board may also impose dealing restrictions on any shares that vest. Malus and BHP’s Incentive Plan Rules allow the Board to reduce or clawback CDP awards (including any clawback DEP) in a range of circumstances, including where the participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly, is in material breach of their obligations to BHP, or where vesting is not justified or supportable in the circumstances. The Board can also suspend or delay vesting until the outcome of any investigation is known. Cessation of ‘Good leaver’ treatment will apply where the cessation of employment with BHP is due to retirement, employment retrenchment or redundancy or termination by mutual agreement, or such other circumstances that do not constitute resignation or termination for cause, unless the Board decides otherwise. For a ‘good leaver’, they may receive a pro rated cash award based on performance for that year, and their unvested CDP two year awards and a pro rated portion of their unvested CDP five year awards (pro-rated for the portion of the vesting period served) will remain on foot unless the Board determines otherwise. Where a participant is not a ‘good leaver’, all unvested CDP awards will lapse, unless the Board determines otherwise. Change On a change of control event as defined in BHP’s Incentive Plan Rules or on the divestment of a of control material business or subsidiary, the Board has discretion to determine the treatment of CDP awards.

How the number of LTIP awards was calculated The proposed number of LTIP awards to be granted to Mike was calculated using the following formula: – the maximum value of the LTIP grant (being US$3.786 million) multiplied by – the US$/A$ exchange rate (being the average over the 12 months up to and including 30 June 2024, to convert the award value into Australian dollars) divided by – the average daily closing price of BHP shares traded on the ASX over the 12 months up to and including 30 June 2024, and – rounded down to the nearest whole number of awards. The face value of US$3.786 million was determined by considering Mike’s total target remuneration, taking into account a number of factors, including the appropriate total remuneration for Mike’s role and market competitiveness. The People and Remuneration Committee’s independent adviser provided input. Performance conditions Vesting of Mike’s LTIP awards is conditional on achieving five year relative total shareholder return (TSR) performance conditions as set out below: – 67% of Mike’s LTIP awards will vest subject to BHP’s TSR relative to the MSCI World Metals and Mining index TSR (Sector TSR) – 33% of Mike’s LTIP awards will vest subject to BHP’s TSR relative to the MSCI World index TSR (World TSR) Testing of performance conditions Vesting of either TSR component of the LTIP occurs on a sliding scale between the 50th and 80th percentiles: – full vesting (100% of each TSR component of the LTIP grant) occurs where BHP’s TSR is at or exceeds the 80th percentile of the Sector TSR or the World TSR (as applicable) – threshold vesting (25% of each TSR component of the LTIP grant) occurs where BHP’s TSR equals the 50th percentile (i.e. the median) of the Sector TSR or the World TSR (as applicable). Where the TSR performance condition is not met, there is no retesting and LTIP awards will lapse. The People and Remuneration Committee considers the achievement against the pre determined performance conditions and what is fair and commensurate to decide if the outcome should be varied. Vesting of LTIP awards On vesting, each LTIP award will entitle Mike to receive one share in BHP (unless the Board exercises its discretion to settle vested awards with a cash payment of equivalent value instead). Before vesting, the LTIP awards do not carry entitlements to ordinary dividends or other shareholder rights. A DEP is provided on vested LTIP awards in the form of either cash or additional shares. The DEP is calculated as the value of dividends that would have been received over the vesting period if Mike had held shares in BHP, and where shares are provided, the DEP amount is divided by the closing price of BHP shares on the date prior to vesting. The decision to vest LTIP awards is subject to the overriding discretion of the Board, which may adjust outcomes upwards or downwards (including to zero) if appropriate, even if the performance criteria has or has not been satisfied, including to better reflect shareholder expectations, to take into account the total value of the award at the time of any vesting, to account for personal or group performance or any other factor that the Board reasonably determines is appropriate to take into account in the circumstances. The Board may also impose dealing restrictions on any shares that vest. The vesting of LTIP awards is also subject to a satisfactory performance underpin, which encompasses a holistic review of performance at the end of the vesting period, including a review of safety and sustainability performance, profitability, cash flow, balance sheet health, returns to shareholders, corporate governance and conduct over the five-year period. Malus and clawback BHP’s Incentive Plan Rules allow the Board to reduce or clawback LTIP awards (including any DEP) in a range of circumstances, including where the participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly, is in material breach of their obligations to BHP, or where vesting is not justified or supportable in the circumstances. The Board can also suspend or delay vesting until the outcome of any investigation is known. Cessation of employment On cessation of employment, for a ‘good leaver’, unvested LTIP awards generally remain on foot on termination and are pro-rated for the portion of the vesting period served and the balance will lapse, unless the Board decides otherwise. These awards are eligible for vesting in the ordinary course, subject to any applicable performance conditions. ‘Good leaver’ treatment may apply where the cessation of employment with BHP is due to retirement, retrenchment or redundancy or termination by mutual agreement, or such other circumstances that do not constitute resignation or termination for cause. If the participant is not a ‘good leaver’, all unvested LTIP awards will lapse, unless the Board decides otherwise. Change of control On a change of control event as defined in BHP’s Incentive Plan Rules or on the divestment of a material business or subsidiary, the Board has discretion to determine the treatment of LTIP awards.

Details of Mike’s current maximum total remuneration package are set out below. More details of Mike’s remuneration are contained in the Remuneration Report, released in August 2024.

If shareholder approval is obtained, the CDP and LTIP awards that are the subject of this approval will be granted to Mike following the AGM and prior to 30 October 2027. If shareholder approval is not obtained, the Board will consider alternative arrangements to appropriately remunerate and incentivise Mike. Details of any securities issued under BHP’s Incentive Plan Rules will be published in BHP’s Remuneration Report, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under BHP’s Incentive Plan Rules after the resolution in this Item is approved and who were not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule. For information on the CDP and LTIP refer to the Remuneration Report released in August 2024, available at bhp.com. Voting exclusion statement BHP will disregard any votes cast: – in favour of Item 12 by or on behalf of Mike Henry, or his associates, regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast; or – on Item 12 as a proxy by a person who is a member of BHP’s KMP on the date of the AGM or their closely related parties.

The Board, with Mike Henry abstaining, recommends shareholders vote in favour of this Item.
Invitation from the Chair Notice of Annual General Meeting Explanatory Notes Participating and Voting 17 Item 13 2024 Climate Transition Action Plan Item 13 is an advisory vote in relation to BHP’s 2024 Climate Transition Action Plan (2024 CTAP). The 2024 CTAP is available at bhp.com/CTAP2024. BHP has an important role to play in supporting the global transition to a net zero greenhouse gas emissions future. As the global population grows and urbanises and the world pursues decarbonisation and electrification, we are positioning our portfolio to increase our exposure to these trends. The 2024 CTAP demonstrates our commitment to becoming a more sustainable and resilient business, which will help us to continue to generate long term value for our shareholders, partners and other stakeholders. It provides an update on BHP’s climate change strategy and builds on our 2021 Climate Transition Action Plan, which was approved by shareholders at our 2021 AGM. Our 2024 CTAP explains our greenhouse gas emissions targets and goals, and provides an update on our progress and plans across the key aspects of our climate change strategy. In particular, the 2024 CTAP includes: – our position and performance in relation to our operational greenhouse emissions (Scopes 1 and 2 emissions from our operated assets) – the medium-term target and long-term net zero goal we have set to decarbonise how we operate – our position and performance in relation to value chain greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 3 emissions) – the medium-term goals and long-term net zero targets and goal we have set to support efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our value chain – our portfolio strategy in an evolving external environment and how we use a 1.5ºC scenario analysis to test the resilience of our portfolio should global ambitions be realised in the future – how we conduct our climate policy advocacy – our approach to assessing physical climate-related risks and developing our potential adaptation responses – equitable change and transition – our approach when there are major changes to our business and/or operations – our approach to Board and management governance of climate related risk and climate transition planning, Board skills and management’s capability, and the link between the delivery of our climate change strategy and executive remuneration – our approach to management of climate related risk, both threats and opportunities – how our Capital Allocation Framework is applied to determine the amount and timing of investment to progress our climate change strategy – our approach to the use of carbon credits to offset greenhouse gas emissions. We believe it is important for shareholders to have ongoing opportunities to engage with us on our climate change strategy and actions. In addition to the other avenues of engagement we provide on climate related issues, this advisory vote is intended to provide a further opportunity for shareholder engagement on these matters as set out in our 2024 CTAP. Shareholders are not being asked to determine BHP’s climate change strategy. The Board is responsible for our climate change strategy, acting in the best interests of BHP. The advisory vote is not binding but the Board will take the outcome of the vote and discussion at the meeting into account in continuing to determine how BHP progresses and evaluates the initiatives set out in the 2024 CTAP to advance BHP’s climate change strategy. The Board recommends shareholders vote in favour of this Item. By order of the Board Stefanie Wilkinson Group General Counsel and Group Company Secretary
