BHP Group Plc shares slipped on their last trading day as an FTSE 100 member as the miner’s near quarter-century association with the benchmark draws to a close.

London Stock Exchange Group Plc’s FTSE Russell unit confirmed this week that the company would be replaced in the index by Airtel Africa Plc, effective Jan. 31, following BHP’s decision to unify its structure in a single listing in Sydney.
