Requisitioned resolution withdrawn

Rio Tinto gives notice, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.17A.2, that the two requisitioned resolutions submitted by Market Forces for consideration at Rio Tinto Limited's 2022 Annual General Meeting in Melbourne, Australia on 5 May 2022 have been withdrawn by Market Forces on behalf of the shareholders who requisitioned those resolutions.  These resolutions were originally set out in the notice to the ASX dated 20 April 2021.

The first resolution proposed an amendment to the constitution of Rio Tinto Limited to permit the company's members in general meeting to pass advisory resolutions. The second resolution requested disclosure by the company in relation to its risk threshold to Scope 3 emissions and the measures it will take to reduce this exposure.

Through constructive engagement, and ahead of the non-binding, advisory 'say on climate' resolution to be put to Rio Tinto's annual general meetings, Rio Tinto and Market Forces have worked together to improve the transparency of the intended outcomes of, and risk threshold within, the company's Scope 3 approach.

In reaching an agreement to withdraw the resolution, Rio Tinto recognises shareholder expectations continue to evolve with respect to climate reporting, and welcomes engagement by Market Forces and other shareholders on this issue.

This announcement is authorised for release to the market by Steve Allen, Rio Tinto's Group Company Secretary.
