The merger of BHP's oil and gas business with Woodside completed on 1 June 2022. BHP received 914,768,948 Woodside shares and paid them out to eligible BHP shareholders as the in specie dividend announced on 20 May. The filing says the implied value was A$27.2 billion (US$19.6 billion), about A$5.38 per BHP share, based on Woodside's 31 May close of A$29.761. BHP also made a net cash payment of about US$0.7 billion to Woodside, subject to a post-completion review that could adjust it, and left about US$0.3 billion in the petroleum bank accounts. This resolves the merger and dividend threads. Sale proceeds for ineligible and electing holders may take up to 12 weeks.
