RNS Number : 9771M  Rio Tinto PLC  02 May 2024

 

Notice to ASX/LSE

 

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
(https://www.riotinto.com/invest/shareholder-information/annual-general-meetings)

 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:

copies of all the resolutions passed by Rio Tinto plc shareholders, other than
ordinary business, have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and
are available for inspection at National Storage Mechanism | FCA

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.

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:
