Changes to dividend declaration currency and

2024 interim dividend timetable

26 July 2024

Rio Tinto determines its dividends in US dollars, our reporting currency.  Historically, Rio Tinto has announced this US dollar amount, as well as the dividend per share in pounds sterling for Rio Tinto plc shareholders and in Australian dollars for Rio Tinto Limited shareholders. However, following changes to Rio Tinto Limited's constitution approved by shareholders in 2024, Rio Tinto now intends to declare and announce its dividends in US dollars only.  Shareholders will continue to have the ability to elect to receive their dividends in pounds sterling, Australian dollars and New Zealand dollars.  Payments in these currencies will now be converted from US dollars based on currency conversion rates seven business days prior to the payment date and will be announced to the market on the following business day. Shareholders will also now have the ability to receive their dividends in US dollars at the declared amount.¹

Set out below is the updated 2024 interim dividend timetable reflecting the changes to our dividend payment approach. This information replaces the 2024 interim dividend dates set out in the Key Dates announcement released to the ASX and the LSE on 29 November 2023.

1.     Shareholders who wish to receive their dividends in US dollars are required to submit their elections, including direct credit details for a US dollar denominated bank account, by 5 September 2024.

2.     Effective 28 May 2024, under the US Security Exchange Commission (SEC) rules, the trade settlement cycle for our ADRs will change from T+2 to T+1. The ex-dividend date and record date will become the same for regular ex-dividend date processing of our ADRs.

3.     In the absence of updated payment currency elections being received by the share registrars by 5 September 2024, 2024 interim dividend payments will be made as per existing payment elections on record.
