Results of Rio Tinto annual general meetings
The annual general meetings of Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto
Limited were held on 8 April 2022 and 5 May 2022 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 17 contained
in the notices of meeting of each Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto
Limited, and Resolution 22 in the Rio Tinto plc notice of meeting
and the corresponding Resolution 19 in the Rio Tinto Limited notice
of meeting set out in tables 1 and 2 below, fall into this
category.
Resolutions 18 to 21 of the Rio Tinto plc notice of meeting, in
table 3 below, were put to Rio Tinto plc shareholders only.
Resolution 18 of the Rio Tinto Limited notice of meeting, in table
4 below, was put to Rio Tinto Limited shareholders only.
All resolutions were carried, except for Resolution 22 in the
Rio Tinto plc notice of meeting and the corresponding Resolution 19
in the Rio Tinto Limited notice of meeting, the poll for which was
not valid because more than 75% of the votes validly cast on
Resolution 3 (Approval of the 2021 Directors' Remuneration Report)
were cast in favour of that resolution.
Resolution 17, to approve Rio Tinto Group's Climate Action Plan,
was endorsed by Rio Tinto Limited and Rio Tinto plc shareholders,
with 84% of the votes validly cast on the resolution across the
joint electorate voted in favour of that resolution. The Climate
Action Plan puts the low-carbon transition at the heart of Rio
Tinto's business strategy: combining investments in commodities
that enable the energy transition with actions to decarbonise the
company's operations and value chains.
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 position 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.
Table 2
The poll for Resolution 22 in the Rio Tinto plc notice of
meeting and the corresponding Resolution 19 in the Rio Tinto
Limited notice of meeting was not valid because more than 75% of
the votes validly cast on Resolution 3 (Approval of the 2021
Directors' Remuneration Report) were cast in favour of that
resolution. Poll figures are provided below for information
purposes only, and do not constitute a voting result.

The following resolutions were put to Rio Tinto plc shareholders
only and carried at the Rio Tinto plc meeting held on 8 April 2022.
Resolution 18 was carried as an ordinary resolution and resolutions

Authority's Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of all the resolutions
passed by Rio Tinto plc shareholders, other than ordinary business,

Resolution 20 'Authority to purchase Rio Tinto plc shares' was
passed as a special resolution, but with less than 80% of votes in
favour. As previously announced, Shining Prospect (a subsidiary of
the Aluminium Corporation of China "Chinalco") voted against
Resolution 20. 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. 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 and
Resolutions 22 in the Rio Tinto plc notice of meeting and the
corresponding Resolution 19 in the Rio Tinto Limited notice of
meeting, 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:
