These warrants have been adjusted due to a Scheme of Arrangement by BHP under which they floated the long steel products division, after receiving shareholder and court approval. On 31 August 2000 BHP announced its intention to float its steel long products business via a Capital Reduction and Scheme of Arrangement. Under the terms of the Capital Reduction the share capital of each fully paid BHP share was reduced by $0.66. Under the Scheme of Arrangement, the proceeds of the Capital Reduction were compulsorily applied to the transfer of OneSteel Limited ("OneSteel") shares to holders of fully paid BHP shares in the ratio of one OneSteel share for every four fully paid BHP shares held. The scheme received shareholder approval on 17 October 2000 and court approval on 18 October 2000. Clause 4.1 of the Terms of Issue of the Endowment Warrants state that the cash return of capital proposed by BHP under the scheme is to be treated as a Reduction Amount. The value of the Reduction Amount that has been applied to the Outstanding Amount of the Portfolio Endowment Warrants is one quarter of the value of the OneSteel shares multiplied by the number of BHP shares in the Portfolio. The value of the OneSteel shares is defined as their weighted average price, in accordance with clause 4.2(a) terms of the Offering Circular. The Reduction Amount applied to the Outstanding Amount is shown in the table below. The number of BHP shares in the underlying parcel for this Endowment Warrant is unaffected by this scheme. For the period from 1 October 2000 to 31 October 2000, the following Reduction Amounts were paid in respect of the shares in the Portfolio.
