Consistent with the terms of our remuneration policy, the People & Remuneration Committee has approved a partial deferral of the 2025 annual bonus for members of the Executive Committee to be delivered as BDA. Grants of BDA are made under the EIP over either Rio Tinto plc shares or Rio Tinto Limited shares (shares). These awards will vest on 1 December 2028.
PSA are also granted under the EIP and provides participants with the conditional right, subject to performance conditions being met, to receive shares. The 2026 PSA will be measured against two performance conditions; a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) measure and a strategic scorecard related measure, after three years followed by a two-year holding period.
