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 General Meeting to be held in Perth on Wednesday, 6 May 2015 at 4:30pm (Perth 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. Note that if you appoint a body corporate as your proxy, the body corporate should appoint a person as its representative at the General Meeting in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In this proxy form, BHP Billiton Limited and BHP Billiton Plc together are referred to as BHP Billiton.
Appointment of a second proxy
A shareholder is entitled to 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 the resolution, place a mark (“X”) in the “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” box for the resolution. If you mark more than one box on the resolution, your vote on the resolution will be invalid. If you mark the “Abstain” box for the 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.
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 shareholder’s attorney.
Joint holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the shareholders should sign.
Power of Attorney: To sign under Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged the Power of Attorney with the Share Registrar for notation.
