DELISTING FROM NEW ZEALAND EXCHANGE
BHP Billiton Limited announced today that following a review of its secondary listing as an overseas issuer on the New Zealand Stock Market (NZSX), it has determined that it is no longer appropriate to maintain that listing.
BHP Billiton will cease to be listed on the NZSX after the close of trading (New Zealand time) on Friday, 30 April 2004.
Shares in BHP Billiton Limited were not traded on the NZSX, and shareholders will continue to be able to trade their shares on the Australian Stock Exchange.
Shareholders will also continue to receive notices and reports from the Company.
After the delisting, announcements will no longer be made to the NZSX but will be posted on BHP Billiton's website.
