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.

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:

The following resolutions were put to Rio Tinto plc shareholders only and carried at the Rio Tinto plc meeting held on 4 April 2024. Resolution 23 was carried as an ordinary resolution and Resolutions 24 to 26 as special resolutions. In accordance with the UK Listing Authority's Listing Rule 9.6.2, 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. The results of the polls were as follows:

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:
