Rio Tinto Board Opposes DLC Structure Review Proposal

Rio Tinto Limited ( (AU:RIO) ) has provided an update.

Rio Tinto’s Board has advised shareholders to vote against a resolution proposed by Palliser Capital to review the company’s dual-listed companies (DLC) structure. The Board argues that a unification of the DLC into an Australian-domiciled holding company would be detrimental to shareholder value, citing potential tax costs and the wastage of franking credits. The Board has already conducted a comprehensive review with external advisers and concluded that the current structure is beneficial, outperforming market indices since its inception. The resolution’s approval could lead to governance challenges and is deemed unnecessary for strategic flexibility.
