Notice to ASX and LSE Page 1 of 14 6 May 2021 Results of Rio Tinto annual general meetings The annual general meetings of Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited were held on 9 April 2021 and 6 May 2021 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 in table 1 below, contained in the notices of meeting for each of Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited, fall into this category. Resolutions 18 to 22 of the Rio Tinto plc notice of meeting, in table 2 below, were put to Rio Tinto plc shareholders only. Resolutions 18 to 20 of the Rio Tinto Limited notice of meeting, in table 3 below, were put to Rio Tinto Limited shareholders only. All resolutions were carried, with the exception of resolution 3 (Approval of the Directors’ Remuneration Report: Implementation Report), and resolution 4 (Approval of the Directors’ Remuneration Report) put to shareholders of both Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited as joint electorate matters, each being an advisory resolution under UK law and Australian law respectively. In accordance with the Australian Corporations Act 2001 and the UK Corporate Governance Code, we have provided further disclosure below in relation to those resolutions which did not meet the required voting thresholds. 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.

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. Remuneration Report (resolutions 3 and 4) The advisory resolutions to approve the Remuneration Report (resolutions 3 and 4) were not passed as ordinary resolutions. As more than 25% of the votes cast were against resolution 4, this constitutes a “first strike” for the purposes of section 250U of the Australian Corporations Act 2001. The Board acknowledges that the executive pay outcomes in relation to the tragic events at Juukan Gorge are sensitive and contentious issues. The Board understands the voting outcome in relation to the 2020 Remuneration Report was a response to the extent of the malus adjustment applied to unvested LTIP awards of the former Chief Executive, Chief Executive Iron Ore and Group Executive Corporate Relations. Since the company announced the findings of the Board Review of cultural heritage management in August 2020, the Board has engaged extensively with shareholders and proxy advisors to explain the rationale for the decisions reached on executive pay and to listen to feedback. The Remuneration Committee has already reflected that feedback in formulating the new Remuneration Policy, which received strong support from shareholders at the AGMs (96.80% FOR). The new Remuneration Policy strengthens the Board’s ability to exercise discretion through the revised malus provisions in relation to events having a major adverse impact on the Group’s social license to operate or reputation. In addition, the new Policy introduces ESG metrics, including in relation to communities and heritage management, into the STIP. During the course of 2021, the Remuneration Committee will engage further with shareholders in response to the 2020 Remuneration Report vote. The Committee will take time to reflect further on the feedback already received and on any new input obtained from this subsequent engagement, in particular as it considers the implementation of the new Remuneration Policy. The Remuneration Committee will outline any additional measures that it proposes to take in response to this feedback ahead of next year’s AGMs. Re-election of Dr Megan Clark AC (resolution 5) The re-election of Dr Megan Clark AC as a director was passed as an ordinary resolution, with 73.52% votes in favour of her appointment. Rio Tinto acknowledges that the reduced vote for Dr Clark’s re-election compared to previous years reflects the fact that, as Chair of the Sustainability Committee at the time that the rock shelters at Juukan Gorge were destroyed, Dr Clark shares accountability for the failings in the areas of communities and social performance that led to those events occurring.

Notice to ASX/LSE Page 3 of 14 In light of the support provided by almost 75% of shareholders, Dr Clark and the Board have carefully weighed the need for accountability for the events at Juukan Gorge against the significant contribution, experience and continuity that Dr Clark brings to the Board and the Group’s relationship with Traditional Owners, and concluded that she should remain on the Board in order to provide stability at this important time for Rio Tinto. The Board notes that, in March 2021, Simon Thompson announced that, as Chairman of the Board, he accepted ultimate accountability for the failings which led to the tragic events at Juukan Gorge, and that he would therefore not seek re-election at the 2022 AGMs. Following Mr Thompson’s departure and the previously announced resignations of Michael L’Estrange and David Constable, Dr Clark will be the most experienced Non-Executive Director on the Board and the only Board member with mining industry experience. As Chair of the Sustainability Committee, Dr Clark is leading the Board’s oversight of the implementation of the Board Review recommendations into cultural heritage management. Importantly, Dr Clark is playing an active and important role on behalf of the Board in engaging with the Traditional Owners of the lands where the company operates in Western Australia, including attending engagements with stakeholders. As an Australian resident, Dr Clark is committed to attending several such meetings with Traditional Owners during 2021. As such, she is playing a key role for Rio Tinto in rebuilding trust and in ensuring that communities have a clear channel to escalate any concerns on the ground directly to the Board. In view of the reduced vote, the Board will continue to consult with shareholders and will consider their feedback as it continues to oversee the implementation of the Group’s priorities in social performance and cultural heritage management. Table 2 The following resolutions were put to Rio Tinto plc shareholders only and carried at the Rio Tinto plc meeting held on 9 April 2021. Resolutions 18 and 19 were carried as an ordinary resolutions and resolutions 20 to 22 as special resolutions. In accordance with the UK Listing Authority’s Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of all the resolutions passed by Rio Tinto plc shareholders, other than ordinary business, have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and are available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM. The results of the polls were as follows: Resolution Total Votes Cast For Against Withheld/ Abstained Number % Number % 18.

As previously announced, Shining Prospect (a subsidiary of the Aluminium Corporation of China “Chinalco”) voted against Resolution 21. 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.

Notice to ASX/LSE Page 6 of 14 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 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: PROXY POSITION FOR RIO TINTO PLC AND RIO TINTO LIMITED ON JOINT DECISIONS Rio Tinto plc Rio Tinto Limited 1.
