principle for Rio Tinto to acquire full ownership of Turquoise Hill for C$43 per share in cash </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rio Tinto and Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd.
(&#147;Turquoise Hill&#148;) have reached an agreement in principle for Rio Tinto to acquire the approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Turquoise Hill that Rio Tinto does not currently own for C$43 per share in cash (the
&#147;Transaction&#148;). The agreement has the unanimous approval of the independent Special Committee of Turquoise Hill&#146;s Board of Directors (the &#147;Special Committee&#148;), and values the Turquoise Hill minority share capital at
approximately US$3.3&nbsp;billion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The purchase price of C$43 per share in cash represents Rio Tinto&#146;s best and final offer and a premium of: 67% to
Turquoise Hill&#146;s closing price of C$25.68 per share on 11&nbsp;March 2022, being the day prior to Rio Tinto&#146;s initial public <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-binding</FONT> proposal to acquire Turquoise Hill, and 125% to Turquoise
Hill&#146;s closing price of C$19.12 per share on 24&nbsp;January 2022, the day before agreeing on a path forward between the Government of Mongolia, Turquoise Hill and Rio Tinto that enabled commencement of the underground mine at Oyu Tolgoi
(&#147;OT&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Transaction is to be implemented by way of a plan of arrangement under the <I>Business Corporations Act </I>(Yukon) and both
companies intend to expeditiously finalise an arrangement agreement (the &#147;Arrangement Agreement&#148;). An announcement will be made with details of the Arrangement Agreement once executed. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Transaction will require the approval of 66.67% of votes cast by shareholders of Turquoise Hill (including Rio Tinto) and the approval of a simple
majority of the votes cast by minority shareholders of Turquoise Hill. A special meeting of shareholders of Turquoise Hill to approve the Transaction is expected as early as possible in the fourth quarter of 2022 and, if approved, the Transaction is
expected to close shortly thereafter. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rio Tinto and Turquoise Hill have also agreed in principle to the following amendments to the financing Heads of
