South32 Ltd Reportedly Emerges as Contender for West Musgrave Copper-Nickel Project BHP Group Limited (ASX:BHP)'s non-core asset sale process is moving towards the pointy end, with South32 Limited (ASX:S32) emerging as one of the leading contenders for the prized West Musgrave copper-nickel project. The sale process for BHP's nickel portfolio has progressed beyond initial stages, with sources indicating that South32 was very focused on the West Musgrave opportunity. South32, the company that BHP spun out in 2015, is now valued at $19 billion. DataRoom reported in December that South32 was actively considering an acquisition of West Musgrave, the largest and most valuable asset in BHP's nickel portfolio being sold by Macquarie Capital and UBS. South32's interest is driven primarily by West Musgrave's copper deposits alongside its nickel resources, say sources. However, any buyer will require deep pockets, with the project demanding approximately $1 billion in capital spending and carrying about $300 million in rehabilitation liabilities. Australian-listed copper miner Sandfire Resources had previously weighed a bid but may have stepped back. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Mar 09

BHP Group Reportedly Made Renewed Bid Approach to Anglo American Mining company BHP Group Limited (ASX:BHP) has made a renewed takeover approach to rival Anglo American plc (LSE:AAL), a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on November 23, 2025, just months after the London-listed miner agreed merger plans with Canada's Teck Resources to create a global copper-focused heavyweight. Anglo American declined to comment. BHP did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours. BHP has made overtures to Anglo American in recent days, Bloomberg News reported earlier, citing people familiar with the matter, adding that deliberations are ongoing and there is no certainty of a deal. Anglo American's market capitalisation is about $41.80 billion, while BHP's is around $132.18 billion, based on LSEG data. In September, Anglo American agreed plans to merge with Teck in an all-share deal, marking the sector's second-biggest M&A deal ever. The deal came just over a year after BHP scrapped a $49 billion bid for Anglo, a deal that would have boosted the Australian miner's holdings of copper, the metal seen as essential for the transition to greener energy. If the BHP/Anglo deal had gone ahead, the combined entity would have been the world's largest copper producer, with a total annual production of around 1.9 million metric tons. The new Anglo Teck group is expected to have a combined annual copper production capacity of approximately 1.2 million tons, still second to BHP. 공지 • Nov 14
BHP Group Limited Provides Update on United Kingdom Group Action BHP Group Limited confirmed that the English High Court has found BHP liable under Brazilian law for the 2015 Fundão dam failure. Any assessment of damages will be determined in future second and third stage trials expected to complete in 2028 or 2029. BHP intends to appeal the decision and will continue to defend the UK group action. BHP has supported extensive remediation and compensation efforts in Brazil since 2015. In October 2024, BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda (BHP Brasil) (a subsidiary of BHP Group Limited), Vale S.A. (Vale) and Samarco Mineração S.A. (Samarco)entered into a USD 32 billion comprehensive agreement with Brazil public authorities and public defenders for a full and final settlement of key claims in Brazil in relation to the dam failure (Brazil Agreement). More than 610,000 people have already been compensated in Brazil, including approximately 240,000 claimants from the UK group action who have provided releases for related claims. The English High Court decision upholds the validity of these releases which should reduce the size and value of the claims in the UK group action. BHP believes the UK group action is duplicative of remediation and compensation that has already occurred in Brazil or which is available under the Brazil Agreement. Expected cash outflows relating to Samarco remain largely aligned with the USD 2.2 billion for FY2026 and USD 0.5 billion for FY2027 included in BHP's FY2025 results announcement. Approximately USD 1 billion has been spent to date in FY2026. The Fundão dam was owned and operated by Samarco, a non-operated joint venture between BHP Brasil (a subsidiary of BHP Group Limited) and Vale. Each of BHP Brasil and Vale holds 50% of Samarco. As stated in BHP's 2025 Annual Report, these proceedings have been brought against BHP Group Limited (the parent company of BHP Brasil) (BHP), and BHP Group (UK) Limited (the former dual listed UK entity) in the English High Court by over600,000claimants seeking damages in relation to the Fundão dam failure in 2015. The decision by the English High Court follows a five-month first stage trial of the UK group action. The English High Court has found that BHP is liable on the basis that it is a 'polluter' under Brazilian environmental law and at fault under the Brazilian civil code. The English High Court rejected the argument that BHP is liable under Brazilian corporate law. The decision relates to events that occurred in the period before November 2015. The English High Court also found that the waivers and releases signed by claimants who have already received compensation in Brazilare valid. This should reduce the size and value of the claims in the UK group action. Subject to BHP's appeal, a second stage trial will decide whether losses claimed by the claimants were caused by the dam failure. This trial is currently scheduled for October 2026 to March 2027. Following any decision and appeals in that trial, a stage 3 trial may also be required, where each remaining claimant would need to prove their individual damages before BHP is required to make any payments to them. This third trial is unlikely to occur before 2028. Remediation and compensation in Brazil: The Fundão dam failure at Samarco was a tragedy that should never have happened. Since 2015, BHP Brasil, Vale and Samarco have provided USD 13.4 billion for reparation and compensation to affected people and to Public Authorities in Brazil. In total, compensation and financial aid has been paid to more than 610,000 people who have received approximately USD 6.3 billion. This includes approximately 240,000 claimants in the UK group action who have been compensated in Brazil and signed releases for related claims. Additionally, remediation of the environment affected by the dam failure is substantially complete and resettlement of the communities of Novo Bento Rodrigues and Paracatu is 98% complete. Samarco, BHP Brasil and Vale continue to implement the agreement reached with the Brazilian public authorities and public defenders in October 2024 which provides BRL 170 billion (USD 32 billion) for reparation of the impacts of the dam failure, including water sanitation, the public health system, economic recovery, local infrastructure, collective damages for affected Indigenous and Traditional Communities and Brazilian Municipalities and income support for the most vulnerable people in the affected regions. BHP remains confident that the BrazilAgreement agreed with local Brazilian authorities provides the quickest and most effective mechanisms to compensate those impacted by the Samarco dam failure. 공지 • Nov 07

BHP Reportedly Taps Pair of Banks to Explore Nickel Assets Sale BHP Group Limited (ASX:BHP) is understood to have hired investment banks Macquarie Capital and UBS for a potential sale of its nickel business. The sale of the division has been flagged, with The Australian reporting on August 24 that the country's largest miner had quietly put the business up for sale. This, while being committed to spending $450 million a year preparing its mothballed nickel assets in Western Australia for a possible restart. UBS and Macquarie have been called upon for BHP asset sales before - both have worked on the divestment of its coal mines in Queensland in recent years. DataRoom understands that a potential plan by BHP and its advisers for what includes its unit known as Nickel West is to split assets up and sell the business off in parts. Market experts believe finding a buyer that would be prepared to pay up for the business as a whole would be no easy task. Expectations are that BHP's nickel assets may fetch hundreds of millions of dollars, although the rehabilitation costs would be a similar amount and a buyer would need to foot those. The nickel assets carry closure and rehabilitation liabilities of at least USD 900 million. A data room will be open for potential buyers to inspect BHP's WA mines, a smelter and refinery, and the West Musgrave nickel project acquired as part of the $9.6 billion Oz Minerals takeover. BHP was believed to be dusting off plans for a sale of Nickel West in 2018 through Goldman Sachs. Goldman's ran a sale process for Nickel West four years before that, around the time BHP announced it was demerging what is now known as South32. But the process was pulled after the $105 billion Australian and London-listed group failed to attract suitors ready to meet its price expectations. Nickel West is the collection of West Australian nickel assets bought by BHP with its 2005 acquisition of WMC Resources. When Nickel West was for sale last time around, Glencore was thought to be a possible suitor. Another possible contender was China's Jinchuan. 공지 • Sep 09
BHP Group Limited Announces Settlement of Samarco AU Securities Class Action BHP has reached an agreement to settle the Australian Samarco shareholder class action. The settlement is subject to approval by the Federal Court of Australia. The Australian shareholder class action was brought on behalf of shareholders who acquired BHP shares before the Fundão Dam failure.

The Fundão Dam was owned and operated by Samarco Mineração S.A. (Samarco), a non-operated joint venture between BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda (BHP Brasil) (a subsidiary of BHP Group Limited) and Vale S.A. Each of BHP Brasil and Vale holds 50 per cent of Samarco. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, BHP has agreed to pay the Applicants AUD 110 million, inclusive of interests and costs, with no admission of liability. BHP expects to recover the majority of the settlement amount from its insurers. Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Aug 29

BHP Group Limited Announces Western Australia Nickel to Temporarily Suspend Operations from October 2024 BHP Group Limited announced that the Nickel West operations and West Musgrave project (Western Australia Nickel) will be temporarily suspended from October 2024. BHP intends to review the decision to temporarily suspend Western Australia Nickel by February 2027.

During the temporary suspension, BHP will continue to support its workforce and local communities. BHP will invest approximately USD 300 million (AUD 450 million) per annum following completion of a transition period to support a potential re-start of Western Australia Nickel. The transition period will commence from July 2024. Operations will be suspended in October 2024 and handover activities for temporary suspension will be completed by December 2024. During the temporary suspension, BHP will: suspend mining and processing operations at the Kwinana nickel refinery, Kalgoorlie nickel smelter and Mt Keith and Leinster operations and the development of the West Musgrave project; implement a care and maintenance program of work to ensure the ongoing safety and integrity of its mines and related infrastructure; continue to invest in exploration to extend the resource life of Western Australia Nickel and preserve optionality; and offer Western Australia Nickel frontline employees another role within BHP or the choice of a redundancy and establish a AUD 20 million Community Fund to support local communities during the temporary suspension.

BHP Provides Update on its Offer for Anglo American On 22 May 2024, BHP Group Limited (ASX: BHP) announced a revised proposal for a combination with Anglo American plc (LSE:AAL) and the Board of Anglo American announced an extension to the deadline for BHP to make an offer for Anglo American to 29 May 2024 (Deadline). BHP welcomed the extension as it provided the opportunity to engage with Anglo American about its concerns regarding BHP's proposal. Since the extension to the deadline, BHP has continued to work extensively to address those matters. This has included several engagements with Anglo American and its advisers. BHP's response to Anglo American: BHP has proposed a range of socioeconomic measures intended to address Anglo American's concerns regarding our proposed transaction structure. BHP is confident that the measures it has proposed to the Board of Anglo American provide a viable pathway to resolve the matters raised by Anglo American and would support South African regulatory approvals. BHP has considered market precedent transactions and believes that the risks are quantifiable and manageable. BHP has already factored the costs associated with these risks into the offer ratio of its proposal. BHP believes that these proposed measures would provide greater economic benefits to South Africa than Anglo American's Accelerating Value Delivery plan, mitigate perceived value and completion uncertainty and ensure that any costs are not borne disproportionately by Anglo American shareholders. BHP has indicated that it would also be willing to discuss an appropriate reverse break fee, payable by BHP, on failure to achieve the necessary anti-trust and regulatory approvals, including in South Africa. Socio-economic initiatives in South Africa: BHP's proposal comprises an all-share offer for Anglo American subject to the pro-rata distribution by Anglo American of its entire shareholdings in Anglo Platinum and Kumba Iron Ore to Anglo American shareholders immediately before completion of the scheme of arrangement. Anglo Platinum and Kumba Iron Ore would continue to be listed in South Africa on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). BHP intends to maintain its listing on the JSE and is expected to achieve a JSE index weighting of approximately 5% on completion. BHP continues to believe that there would be clear benefits to the South African government, economy and communities from Anglo Platinum and Kumba Iron Ore becoming major standalone entities listed on the JSE with significant increased JSE index weightings. Anglo Platinum and Kumba Iron Ore would be independently run by established South African-based management teams. As self-governed companies, Anglo Platinum and Kumba Iron Ore would be better placed to reinvest cash flow and capital directly into South Africa. As part of its increased presence in South Africa, BHP intends to continue and build on Anglo American's legacy of social investment and value creation in South Africa including by: if required to secure regulatory approvals, BHP sharing in the costs of increased South African employee ownership of the listed South African businesses; ?establishing a Mining Centre of Excellence to support R&D, training and promotion of South Africa as a premier mining destination; maintaining current employment levels at Anglo American's Johannesburg office to provide ongoing support to the South African assets to be acquired and other assets in the combined group, as well as to Anglo Platinum and Kumba as a third party service provider; ?maintaining funding for Anglo American's charitable commitments in South Africa at the current level; supporting local South African procurement and engagement across mining industry sectors and regions; ensuring continued access for South African investors through the listing of BHP on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange; and maintaining Anglo American's existing South African Reserve Bank (SARB) and National Treasury undertakings, to the maximum extent practicable. These proposed measures are expected to be maintained for a period of at least three years. BHP believes that its proposal will contribute to South Africa and allow the benefits of South African mining to be shared with more South African stakeholders. Next steps: BHP believes that the proposed measures it has put forward provide substantial risk protection for Anglo American shareholders and supplement the significant value uplift that Anglo American shareholders will receive from the potential combination. BHP believes a further extension of the Deadline is required to allow for further engagement on its proposal. This announcement does not amount to a firm intention to make an offer and there can be no certainty that an offer will be made. There is no certainty that any form of agreement or transaction will be reached or concluded. Nothing in this announcement constitutes or intended to constitute a post-offer undertaking for the purposes of Rule 19.5 of the UK Code. This announcement is being made by BHP without prior agreement or approval of Anglo American. Authorised for release by Stefanie Wilkinson, Group Company Secretary. 공지 • May 25
Anglo American Rejects Further BHP Proposal On 20 May 2024, the Board of Anglo American plc (LSE:AAL) received a third unsolicited, non-binding and highly conditional takeover proposal from BHP Group Limited (ASX: BHP) (the "Latest Proposal"). Under the terms of the Latest Proposal, for each Anglo American share owned, Anglo American's shareholders would receive: 0.8860 BHP shares; and Ordinary shares in each of Anglo American Platinum Limited and of Kumba Iron Ore Limited (distributed by Anglo American to its shareholders in direct proportion to Anglo American's shareholders' effective interest in Anglo American Platinum Limited and Kumba Iron Ore Limited). The terms of the Latest Proposal represent a total value, based on undisturbed share prices as at market close on 23 April 2024, of approximately £29.34 per Anglo American share. On the basis of the 30-day and 90-day volume weighted average share prices up to and including 23 April 2024, the terms of the Latest Proposal would value Anglo American at £29.91 and £29.67 per Anglo American share, respectively. The Latest Proposal includes the same highly complex structure as the proposals previously rejected on 26 April 2024 and 13 May 2024. This involves an all-share offer for Anglo American by BHP, with a requirement for Anglo American to complete two separate demergers of its entire shareholdings in Anglo American Platinum Limited and Kumba Iron Ore Limited to Anglo American's shareholders. The all-share offer and required demergers would be inter-conditional. The Board and its advisers have engaged with BHP and its advisers on multiple occasions with a particular focus on the proposed structure and associated risks. The Board continues to believe that there are serious concerns with the structure given that it is likely to result in material completion risk and value impact that disproportionately falls on Anglo American's shareholders. The requirement to pursue two contemporaneous demergers of publicly listed companies alongside a takeover and the inter-conditional nature of the three transactions is unprecedented, and as a result of a takeover would result in additional material approvals and conditions, particularly in South Africa. BHP's Latest Proposal is therefore in clear contrast to Anglo American's simpler standalone plan to accelerate value delivery announced on 14 May 2024 and its proposal to demerge Anglo American Platinum Limited - a single demerger that Anglo American has a proven track record in delivering. The complex process proposed by BHP is likely to take 18 months or more to complete and carries significant execution and completion risks relating to both value and time. The key elements of Anglo American's standalone plan to accelerate value delivery are expected to be substantively complete by that stage. The approvals required in relation to BHP's Latest Proposal will also likely result in conditions being imposed that disproportionately impact Anglo American Platinum Limited and Kumba Iron Ore Limited and, therefore, Anglo American's shareholders. In addition, the Board has also considered detailed feedback from its extensive engagement with Anglo American's shareholders and stakeholders since the release of Anglo American's accelerated plans for delivery of its standalone strategy on 14 May 2024, continuing its engagement with its shareholders since the approach from BHP became public on 24 April 2024. The Board is confident in Anglo American's standalone future prospects and believes that Anglo American has set out a clear pathway to deliver the acceleration of its strategy detailed on 14 May 2024, that is expected to unlock significant and undiluted value for Anglo American's shareholders. Taking the above considerations into account, the Board of Anglo American has unanimously rejected the Latest Proposal. In order to allow for further engagement with BHP on the mitigation of risks and value impact on Anglo American's shareholders that are inherent in its Latest Proposal, Anglo American announces that, in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code, the Board has requested, and the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel") has consented to, an extension to the date by which BHP is required either to announce a firm intention to make an offer for Anglo American in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or to announce that it does not intend to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. Such announcement must now be made by not later than 5.00 p.m. on 29 May 2024. This deadline will only be extended with the consent of the Panel in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code. Stuart Chambers, Chairman of Anglo American, commented: "The Board is confident in Anglo American's standalone future prospects and believes that Anglo American has set out a clear pathway and timeframe to deliver the acceleration of its strategy to unlock significant and undiluted value for Anglo American's shareholders. The Board considered BHP's Latest Proposal carefully, concluded it does not meet expectations of value delivered to Anglo American's shareholders, and has unanimously rejected it. In particular, it does not address the Board's concerns about the structure, which results in significant complexity, execution risks, an extended timeline to completion and consequently has the potential for material value leakage to be disproportionately suffered by Anglo American's shareholders. Multiple engagements with the BHP team have not yet been able to resolve the concerns on these issues. "However, the Board is willing to continue to engage with BHP and its advisers on this topic and has therefore requested a one week extension to the PUSU deadline which has been consented to by the Panel." There can be no certainty that any firm offer will be made and, save as set out in BHP's announcement dated 13 May 2024 (and subject to the reservations set out therein), there can be no certainty as to the terms on which an offer may be made. 공지 • May 16
BHP Chief Urges Anglo Investors to Consider Takeover Benefits BHP Group Limited (ASX:BHP) Chief Executive Mike Henry said that Anglo American plc (LSE:AAL) investors need to consider the merits of his company's bid for its smaller London-listed rival, seeking to drum up support for a proposal that has been rejected twice. The CEO of the world's biggest listed mining group told investors at a metals and mining conference in Miami that Anglo shareholders must make a "determination" on the benefits of a combination of the two companies and which team they think has a better track record of executing projects and delivering returns to investors. Anglo CEO Duncan Wanblad on May 14, 2024 outlined plans to refocus on energy transition metal copper while spinning off or selling its less profitable coal, nickel, diamond and platinum businesses. Henry, meanwhile, emphasised the merits of BHP's $43 billion bid and dismissed concerns that the proposed deal would be complex to execute. "At the end of the day, it's going to be up to shareholders. They have to look at the plans, decide which one they believe is going to create the greatest value soonest," he said. "And they have to make a determination as to the likelihood of execution of those plans, including which team they believe is more capable and has a better track record of execution. It's that simple." The Anglo board argues that the proposed deal undervalues the company and is difficult to execute, with BHP planning to demerge two of Anglo's South African assets prior to a takeover. BHP chief Henry, however, says the company has sufficient experience to execute complex transactions, having divested South32 (S32.AX), opens new tab assets in South Africa. Henry said he was disappointed with the Anglo board's continued refusal to engage, adding that BHP would have preferred to continue talking in private. "Our strong preference was to be able to hold these discussions with Anglo in private," Henry said. "Rather unfortunately, it got leaked." While BHP is intent on growing its copper business, it would maintain its disciplined approach to capital allocation, Henry said, adding that the copper industry remains fragmented. "We do not take capital discipline lightly, we will remain disciplined and we have demonstrated that in previous instances," he said. 공지 • Apr 19
