AMENDMENT – 5 November 2019
 
The UK Regulatory News Service Announcement No 9967R, released in London on 1 November 2019 at 13:00 GMT, incorrectly stated that, as of 31 October 2019, the share capital of Rio Tinto plc comprised of 1,252,843,712 Ordinary shares and the total number of voting rights in Rio Tinto plc stood at 1,262,264,629. These figures have been corrected to reflect that, as at 31 October 2019, the share capital of Rio Tinto plc was comprised of 1,262,264,629 Ordinary shares and the total number of voting rights was 1,252,843,712.

All other details were correct and remain unchanged.
  
The full amended text is shown below:

In accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1R, Rio Tinto plc notifies the market that as of 31 October 2019:

1.
Rio Tinto plc’s issued share capital comprised 1,262,264,629 Ordinary shares of 10p each, each with one vote.

2.
9,420,917 Ordinary shares of 10p each are held in treasury. These shares are not taken into consideration in relation to the payment of dividends and voting at shareholder meetings.

Accordingly, the total number of voting rights in Rio Tinto plc is 1,252,843,712. This figure may be used by shareholders (and others with notification obligations) as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Rio Tinto plc under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Note:
As at the date of this announcement:
(a)
Rio Tinto plc has also issued one Special Voting Share of 10p and one DLC Dividend Share of 10p in connection with its dual listed companies (‘DLC’) merger with Rio Tinto Limited which was designed to place the shareholders of both companies in substantially the same position as if they held shares in a single enterprise owning all of the assets of both companies;
(b)
the Special Voting Share facilitates joint voting by shareholders of Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited on joint electorate resolutions; and
(c)
there are 371,216,214 publicly held Rio Tinto Limited shares in issue which do not form part of the share capital of Rio Tinto plc.
