Rio Tinto ( (GB:RIO) ) has provided an update.

Rio Tinto held its annual general meetings in London and Perth, where shareholders voted on several resolutions. A significant focus was the Requisitioned Resolution, which proposed an independent review to unify the dual-listed company (DLC) structure. The Board recommended against this unification due to potential tax costs and inefficiencies, and shareholders largely agreed, with 80.65% voting against the resolution. The Board emphasized the benefits of the current DLC structure and the importance of focusing on long-term value creation. Despite some shareholder support for the resolution, Rio Tinto will continue engaging with shareholders to address their concerns.

Market challenges, particularly in China, and cost pressures in the iron ore segment are key risks to monitor.
