Total voting rights and issued capital

 

In accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) Disclosure Guidance
and Transparency Rule 5.6.1R, Rio Tinto plc notifies the market that as of 31
May 2022:

 

1.         Rio Tinto plc's issued share capital comprised
1,255,816,274 Ordinary shares of 10p each, each with one vote.

 

2.         6,526,272 ordinary shares of 10p each are held in treasury.
These shares are not taken into consideration in relation to the payment of
dividends and voting at shareholder meetings.

 

Accordingly the total number of voting rights in Rio Tinto plc is
1,249,290,002. This figure may be used by shareholders (and others with
notification obligations) as the denominator for the calculation by which they
will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change
to their interest in, Rio Tinto plc under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.

 

Note:

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.
