But not all did so.
Among those who did, were Mike Henry, Geraldine Slattery and John Udd, the group's chief executive officer and the presidents of BHP's Petroleum and Minerals Americas divisions, respectively.
Those who did not fully reinvest included Edgar Basto-Baez, the President of Minerals Australia, Gary Goldberg, a non-executive director, and Christine O'Reilly, another non-exec.
Basto-Baez sold 32,502 shares, including 27,651, which had vested, at AUD44.63 each, for a total transaction amount of approximately AUD 1.45m.
The sales were made on 18-19 August, partly outside of a trading venue.
Some of the funds obtained were used to meet the expected tax obligations from the vesting of awards and the remainder for the purchase of a home.
Goldberg meanwhile sold 1,000 American Depositary Shares, representing 2,000 ordinary shares of BHP, between 18-19 August, at roughly $64.2 apiece.
He was followed the next day by O'Reilly, who sold 2,000 shares for AUD44.39.
