Shareholdings of directors and persons discharging managerial responsibility (PDMR)

 

4 June 2020

 

As part of its dual listed company structure, Rio Tinto notifies dealings in Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited securities by PDMRs to both the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and the London Stock Exchange (LSE).

 

Performance Share Plan 2013 ("PSP")

 

The PSP is a performance based share plan which provides participants with the conditional right (known as a Performance Share Award or PSA) to receive Rio Tinto plc or Rio Tinto Limited shares, subject to performance conditions being met.

 

The PSA granted in 2015 is subject to two performance conditions. Two thirds of the award is subject to Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance and the remaining third to an Earnings based measure of Relative EBIT Margin. The TSR part of the award vested on 27 February 2020. The remaining third of the PSA granted in 2015 vested on 31 May 2020 once the Relative EBIT Margin performance had been established.  

 

On 1 June 2020, the following PDMRs received their vested PSA award in the form of shares, of which sufficient were sold to pay applicable withholding tax and other deductions. The balance that did not vest due to the application of performance conditions has now lapsed.
