April 2022:

 

1.         Rio Tinto plc's issued share capital comprised

2.         6,534,183 ordinary shares of 10p each are held in treasury.
These shares are not taken into consideration in relation to the payment of

Transparency Rules.

As at the date of this announcement:

(a)  Rio Tinto plc has also issued one Special Voting Share of 10p and one
DLC Dividend Share of 10p in connection with its dual listed companies ('DLC')
merger with Rio Tinto Limited which was designed to place the shareholders of
both companies in substantially the same position as if they held shares in a
single enterprise owning all of the assets of both companies;

(b)  the Special Voting Share facilitates joint voting by shareholders of Rio
Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited on joint electorate resolutions; and

(c)  there are 371,216,214 publicly held Rio Tinto Limited shares in issue
which do not form part of the share capital of Rio Tinto plc.
