BHP NAME CHANGE EFFECTIVE TODAY
The name change of The Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited to BHP Limited
took effect today following registration of the new name with the Australian
Securities and Investments Commission.
The new name was approved by shareholders at the Company's Annual General
Meeting held in Adelaide on 17 October this year. The name change is the first
in BHP's 115 year history and is aimed at simplifying the parent company name
and bringing it in line with common usage.
The change of name does not create any new legal entity, and the parent
Company is the same company after the change of name. This means that the
change of name does not affect the parent Company's existing property, rights
or obligations and does not affect any legal proceedings in which the company
may be involved.
