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, under the terms of the Rio Tinto plc PSP and Rio Tinto Limited PSP respectively.

The 2014 PSA award which vested in 2019 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 28 February 2019 and the remaining third of the 2014 PSA award vested on 31 May 2019.

On 31 May 2019, 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.
