BHP lists 2.79 million shares on London Stock Exchange

BHP Group Limited said it listed 2,790,704 ordinary shares on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on Tuesday, according to a filing released Monday.

The shares were issued under the company’s employee share participation plans and carry the same voting and dividend rights as existing ordinary shares. BHP said the issuance was conducted in compliance with the UK’s Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024.

The admission brings BHP’s total issued share capital to 5,084,182,410 shares as of August 19, 2026, with no treasury shares held. The company noted that the total reflects the full voting rights outstanding, which shareholders may use to assess whether they meet disclosure thresholds under the Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Stefanie Wilkinson, Legal Counsel and Company Secretary, signed the filing. The announcement was published on August 25, 2026.
