BHP Prices US Bond Offer

BHP Group Limited (BHP) has conducted a bond offer and successfully priced US$4.75 billion of senior unsecured bonds in the US market.

The bonds will be issued by BHP Billiton Finance (USA) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of BHP, under BHP's US debt registration statement, which was filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on 22 February 2023. The bonds will be guaranteed by BHP.

The bond offer comprises five tranches of bonds. The principal amount, tenor and coupon for each tranche of bonds are:

   --      US$850 million three-year bonds priced at a fixed coupon of 5.250% maturing in 2026 
   --      US$700 million five-year bonds priced at a fixed coupon of 5.100% maturing in 2028 
   --      US$900 million seven-year bonds priced at a fixed coupon of 5.250% maturing in 2030

   --      US$800 million thirty-year bonds priced at a fixed coupon of 5.500% maturing in 2053 

BHP intends to use the proceeds from the bonds, together with cash on hand, if applicable, to repay the acquisition facility used for the acquisition of OZ Minerals Ltd and for other general corporate purposes.

Settlement of the bonds is expected to occur on 8 September 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.
