Under the GESP employees are able to purchase, on a quarterly basis, Rio Tinto plc ordinary shares of 10p each ('shares'), Rio Tinto plc ADRs or Rio Tinto Limited ordinary shares ('shares').

At the time of vesting, participants can elect to receive their awards for nil consideration either as shares or as cash from the proceeds of a sale of shares.
