Results of Rio Tinto annual general
meetings
2 May 2024
The annual general meetings of Rio
Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited were held on 4 April 2024 and 2 May
2024 respectively.
Under Rio Tinto's dual listed
companies structure established in 1995, decisions on significant
matters affecting shareholders of Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto
Limited in similar ways are taken through a joint electoral
procedure. Resolutions 1 to 21, contained in the notices of meeting
for each of Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited, fall into this
category, and the results for these resolutions are set out in
Table 1 below. Resolution 22, contained in
the notices of meeting for both Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto
Limited, was proposed as a class rights action, which requires that
the resolution was put to Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited
shareholders voting as separate electorates. The results for resolution 22 are set out in Table 2a and
Table 2b below. Resolutions 23 to 26 of the Rio Tinto plc notice of
meeting were put to Rio Tinto plc shareholders only, and the
results for these resolutions are set out in Table 3 below.
Resolutions 23 to 24 of the Rio Tinto Limited notice of meeting
were put to Rio Tinto Limited shareholders only, and the results
for these resolutions are set out in Table 4 below.
All resolutions were
carried.
The results of the Rio Tinto plc
polls were certified by the scrutineer, Computershare Investor
Services PLC, and the results of the Rio Tinto Limited polls were
as reported by the duly appointed returning officer, a
representative of Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited.
These results are as set out below. Information on the final proxy
positions for each company is detailed in Appendix 1, and the votes
cast on each resolution as a percentage of the issued capital of
each company is set out on our website
at www.riotinto.com/invest/shareholder-information/annual-general-meetings.
Table 1

resolutions, which were put to both Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto

¹ In calculating the results
of the respective polls under the joint electoral procedure,
"withheld" votes at Rio Tinto plc's meeting are aggregated with
"abstained" votes at Rio Tinto Limited's meeting. For all
relevant purposes "withheld" votes and "abstained" votes have the
same meaning. They are not included in the calculation of the
proportion of votes for and against each resolution.
|
Resolution 22 was put to Rio Tinto
plc and Rio Tinto Limited shareholders voting as separate
electorates, and it was carried as a special resolution by both Rio
Tinto plc shareholders and Rio Tinto Limited shareholders voting
separately:

Resolution 25 'Authority to purchase
Rio Tinto plc shares' was passed with less than 80% of votes in
favour. Shining Prospect (a subsidiary of the Aluminium Corporation
of China "Chinalco") voted against resolution 25. Chinalco has not
sold any of its shares in Rio Tinto plc and now has a holding of
just over 14% given its non-participation in the Company's
significant share buyback programmes. This places Chinalco close to
the 14.99% holding threshold agreed with the Australian Government
at the time of its original investment in Rio Tinto.

Appendix 1
FINAL PROXY
POSITION
Shareholders are encouraged to look
at the voting figures provided in the main part of this
announcement, as proxy figures may not be an accurate indication of
the voting at the annual general meetings; a proxy is an authority
or direction to the proxy holder to vote and not a vote
itself.
References in this appendix in
respect of resolutions 1-21 to an appointment specifying that a
proxy abstain on a resolution should, when referring to voting at
Rio Tinto plc's annual general meeting, be taken as references to
the appointment specifying that the proxy withhold from voting on a
resolution.
The proxy position for each company
(excluding the proxy votes carried from one meeting to the other
meeting by the Special Voting Shares in accordance with the DLC
structure) on the resolutions put to both Rio Tinto plc and Rio
Tinto Limited shareholders under the joint electoral procedure was
as follows:
