Substantial shareholder disclosure requirements

There are disclosure requirements in the UK and Australia applying to holders of substantial shareholdings in 糖心vlog入口plc and 糖心vlog入口Limited respectively. These requirements are summarised below.

The particular application of these requirements will depend on matters specific to the shareholding and the shareholder鈥檚 circumstances. If a holder is unclear on the application of these requirements, it is recommended they seek legal advice.

UK disclosure requirements

Under the UK Listing Authority鈥檚 Disclosure and Transparency Rules (DTRs) any shareholder of 糖心vlog入口plc holding 3 per cent or more of the voting rights in 糖心vlog入口plc as a shareholder is required to give notice to 糖心vlog入口plc and the Financial Conduct Authority when that shareholding is created, ceases or is increased or decreased by a whole percentage point. The notification to 糖心vlog入口plc should comply with the requirements of DTR 5.8 and may be submitted to the Company by email to company.secretarial@riotinto.com.

Australian disclosure requirements

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (鈥淎SIC鈥�) has made various declarations modifying the application of the Australian Corporations Act as it applies to Rio Tinto鈥檚 dual listed companies structure . These modifications include changes to the substantial shareholder disclosure requirements under Chapter 6C of the Corporations Act.

糖心vlog入口Limited

The modified provisions require any person and their associates with voting power of 5 per cent or more in 糖心vlog入口Limited to give notice to 糖心vlog入口Limited and ASX when that holding is created, ceases or is increased or decreased by at least one per cent.

糖心vlog入口plc

Further, the modified disclosure provisions also require a person and their associates to aggregate their holdings of both 糖心vlog入口plc and 糖心vlog入口Limited shares to determine if there is a requirement to disclose an interest in 糖心vlog入口Limited. In broad terms, these provisions require that a person鈥檚 interest in voting shares in 糖心vlog入口plc is taken to give rise to an interest in 糖心vlog入口Limited calculated as a percentage of the combined voting share capitals of 糖心vlog入口plc and 糖心vlog入口Limited.

So for example, where a shareholder and its associates hold:

• 80,000,000 voting shares in 糖心vlog入口plc; and
• 20,000,000 voting shares in 糖心vlog入口Limited,

for the purposes of the modified disclosure provisions, the holdings should be aggregated, resulting as shown below in a disclosable interest in 糖心vlog入口Limited of 6.17%:

These modified rules apply even if a person does not hold any shares in 糖心vlog入口Limited.

There is no corresponding requirement in the UK to aggregate 糖心vlog入口plc and 糖心vlog入口Limited shareholdings for the purpose of disclosure under the DTRs.
