BHP to Return $10.4 Billion to ShareholdersBy David Winning
BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's biggest mining company by market value, said it would return $10.4 billion to shareholders via a stock buyback and special dividend. The move comes after completing the sale of its U.S. onshore oil and natural gas assets. BHP -- which has faced pressure from activist investor Elliott Management Corp. to improve returns -- said the latest outlays would bring the total cash handed back to shareholders over the past two years to $21 billion. The Melbourne-based company said it planned to buy back shares worth $5.2 billion and pay a special dividend to shareholders totaling $5.2 billion.
