LODGEMENT OF YOUR PROXY FORM
To be valid, this proxy form must be received by 11:00am (Melbourne time) on Tuesday 14 November 2017.
Any proxy form (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
How to complete this proxy form
If you are unable to attend the Annual General Meeting to be held in Melbourne on Thursday 16 November 2017 at 11:00am (Melbourne time), you are encouraged to appoint a person or body corporate who will attend as your proxy and exercise your right to vote your shares. If you appoint a body corporate as your proxy, the body corporate should appoint a person as its representative at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001.
Appointment of a second proxy
A shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint up to two proxies (whether shareholders or not) to attend the meeting and vote. A separate proxy form should be used for each proxy appointment. An additional proxy form will be supplied on request.
Directing your proxy how to vote
If you wish to direct your proxy how to vote (or to abstain from voting) on any resolution, place a mark (“X”) in the “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” box for each resolution. If you mark more than one box on a resolution, your vote on that resolution will be invalid. If you mark the “Abstain” box for a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy not to vote on your behalf on a poll and your votes will not be counted in computing the required majority.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In this proxy form, BHP Billiton Limited and BHP Billiton Plc together are referred to as BHP.
The key management personnel (‘KMP’) of BHP (which includes each of the Directors) and their closely related parties will not be able to vote as your proxy on Items
7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 unless you tell them how to vote or, if the Chairman of the Meeting is your proxy, you expressly authorise him to vote even though Items 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are connected with the remuneration of the KMP. If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP as your proxy, you can direct them to vote for or against or to abstain from voting on Items 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 by marking the appropriate boxes on the proxy form.
Signing Instructions
