Sky News business reporter Edward Boyd says BHP shareholders will soon get to vote on whether the company should remove its dual listed corporate structure. Shareholders in BHP Limited, the Australian listed company, and BHP PLC, the United Kingdom listed company, will come together to decide if they unify the business early next year. The deal is expected to be completed January 20 2022 and if it goes through, the company will be unified on the ASX. BHP will save approximately US$1.2 billion if it goes through but it will cost them roughly US$350 to $450 million dollars to get the deal done. The unification needs 75 per cent approval to go through but it is expected to pass.
