Specifically, 11,816 share rights were converted into ordinary fully paid shares on September 30, 2025.

These conversions were satisfied by a transfer of existing securities and were issued under an employee incentive scheme.

Concurrently, Rio Tinto Limited announced the cessation of 69,944 unquoted share rights on September 30, 2025.

Following these adjustments, the total number of ordinary fully paid shares quoted on ASX remains 371,216,214. The unquoted securities now comprise 1 Special Voting Share, 1 DLC Dividend Share, and 5,254,150 Share Rights.
