Rio Tinto Limited ( (AU:RIO) ) has issued an announcement.

Rio Tinto Limited has called its 2026 annual general meeting for 4:00pm AWST on 6 May 2026 in Perth, to be held in parallel and linked by audio-visual technology with the Rio Tinto plc AGM in London so shareholders of both entities can participate jointly in discussions, questioning and voting, either in person or online. The board is introducing an alternating physical presence between Perth and London from 2027 to balance governance access across markets, highlighting a simplified operating and governance model while reaffirming its recommendation that shareholders vote in favour of all 18 resolutions, including remuneration approvals and refreshed authority for termination benefits, following a period of CEO transition, board refreshment and departures of several long-serving directors.

The meeting will feature three remuneration-related resolutions covering the 2025 remuneration report under both UK and Australian requirements and renewed approval for potential termination benefits for a further three-year period, which the board argues aligns with existing policy and past shareholder mandates. Shareholders are urged to participate directly or via proxy to ensure their votes are counted, with results to be disclosed to stock exchanges and on the company’s website, underscoring the ongoing emphasis on engagement, transparency and board accountability amid recent leadership changes, including the appointment of Simon Trott as chief executive in August 2025 and the exit of multiple non-executive directors.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:RIO) stock is a Hold with a A$146.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Rio Tinto Limited stock, see the AU:RIO Stock Forecast page.
