BHP Billiton's dividend declaration dates coincide with the announcements of our interim and full year results. The dividend declaration, ex-dividend, record and payment dates are set out below.
In May 2009 the Company announced that shareholders who wish to change the currency in which they receive dividends must lodge an election to do so. This must be received no later than close of business on the Record Date.
