Under Rio Tinto’s dual-listed companies (DLC) structure, decisions on significant matters affecting shareholders of Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited in similar ways are proposed as Joint Decision Matters, and the poll is voted on by shareholders of both companies as a joint electorate. Resolutions 1 to 17 contained in the notices of meeting of each Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited fall into this category. The results of these resolutions proposed as Joint Decision Matters are set out in table 1 below.

In addition to these Joint Decision matters, Resolutions 18 to 21 in the Rio Tinto plc notice of meeting were put to Rio Tinto plc shareholders only. The results of these resolutions are set out in table 2 below. Resolution 18 in the Rio Tinto Limited notice of meeting was put to Rio Tinto Limited shareholders only. The result of this resolution is set out in table 3 below.

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. Information on the final proxy positions for each meeting 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 riotinto.com/agm.

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.

The following resolutions were put to Rio Tinto plc shareholders only and were carried. Resolution 18 was carried as an ordinary resolution and Resolutions 19 to 21 as special resolutions. In accordance with the UK Listing Authority’s Listing Rule 6.4.2, copies of all the resolutions passed by Rio Tinto plc shareholders, other than ordinary business, will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.

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. As such, the proxy figures do not reflect the votes cast by shareholders who attend the meeting in person, or through an attorney or corporate representative.

References in this appendix in respect of resolutions 1-17 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 positions 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) for the resolutions put to both Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited shareholders under the joint electoral procedure were as follows:
