United Kingdom Telephone: +44 344 472 7001 Facsimile: +44 370 703 6322 LODGEMENT OF YOUR PROXY To be valid, this proxy form must be received by 11:00am (London time) on Monday 15 October 2018 Any proxy form (and any relevant authorities under
which it is signed) received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting. B H P B How to complete this proxy form Every holder has the right to appoint some other person(s) of their choice, who need not be a shareholder, as their
proxy to exercise all or any of their rights, to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If you wish to appoint a person other than the Chairman, please insert the name of your chosen proxy holder in the space provided (see reverse).
If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box next to the proxy holders name (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If
left blank, your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or if this proxy form has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).
Appointment of additional proxies You may appoint more than one proxy provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one share. To
appoint more than one proxy, additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Share Registrars helpline listed below under Any questions?, or you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy
holders name (see reverse) the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by ticking the box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms
must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope. 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 Vote Withheld box for each resolution. The Vote Withheld option is provided to enable you to withhold your vote on any particular resolution. However, it should be noted that a Vote Withheld
is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes For and Against a resolution. In the absence of instructions and to the extent permitted by law, your proxy may vote or withhold
the vote as he or she thinks fit. IMPORTANT NOTE: In this proxy form, BHP Billiton Plc and BHP Billiton Limited 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 and 9 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 and 9 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 and 9 by marking the appropriate boxes on the proxy form. CREST electronic
proxy appointment service To appoint one or more proxies or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) via the CREST system, CREST messages must be received by the issuers agent (ID number 3RA50) not later
than 11:00am (London time) on Monday 15 October 2018. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the CREST system) from which the issuers agent is able to retrieve the
message. The Company may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001. Signing instructions You must sign this proxy form as follows in the
spaces provided: Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the proxy form must be signed by the shareholder or the shareholders attorney. Joint holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, any one of the joint holders may sign the
proxy form but the vote of the senior who renders a vote whether in person or by proxy shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names stand in the Companys
Share Register. Power of Attorney or Relevant Authority: If this form is signed by a person who is not the registered shareholder, then the relevant authority or a certified copy of it should either have been exhibited previously to the Share
Registrar by the time above or be enclosed with this form, and the words authorised signatory should be added under the signature on the reverse of this form. Companies: Where the holding is in the name of a company, then this form must
be given under the common seal of the company or executed in a manner having the same effect, or under the hand of an authorised officer or attorney who has not received any notice of revocation of that authority. Electronic proxy lodgement: To
appoint a proxy electronically go to bhp.com or eproxyappointment.com, then follow the instructions. You can also use the BHP mobile voting service for smartphones. To access these services you will need the Control Number, shown below, together
with your Shareholder Reference Number (SRN) and Personal Identification Number (PIN), which are printed on the front of this proxy form. If you hold shares through CREST you may appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy
appointment service. Any questions? If you have any questions on how to complete this proxy form or to obtain additional forms, please call: +44 344 472 7001. Documents may be lodged: BHP Billiton Plc Registered in England and Wales Number 3196209
