 of the debt securities of the applicable series. Following is a list of those types of changes:

•

changes to the stated maturity of the principal or the interest payment dates on a debt security;

•

any reduction in amounts due on a debt security;

•

changes to any of our or Rio Tinto’s obligations to pay additional amounts described later under “— Payment of Additional Amounts ”;

•

any reduction in the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of the maturity of a debt security following a default;

•

changes in the place or currency of payment on a debt security;

•

any impairment of holders’ right to sue for payment;

•

any reduction in the percentage of holders of debt securities whose consent is needed to modify or amend the indenture;

•

any reduction in the percentage of holders of debt securities whose consent is needed to waive compliance with various provisions of the indenture or to waive various defaults; and

•

any modification, in any manner adverse to the holders of the debt securities, to the obligations of Rio Tinto plc or Rio Tinto Limited in respect of the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any. ( Section 902 of the Base Indenture )

Changes Requiring a Majority Vote. The second type of change to the indenture and the debt securities is the kind that requires a vote in favor by holders of debt securities owning a majority of the principal amount of the particular series affected. Most changes fall into this category, except for clarifying changes, amendments, supplements and other changes that would not adversely affect holders of the debt securities in any material respect. The same vote would be required for us to obtain a waiver of all or part of the covenants described below or a waiver of a past default. However, we cannot obtain a waiver of a payment default or any other aspect of the indenture or the debt securities listed in the first category described previously under “— Changes Requiring the Approval of all Holders ” unless we obtain the individual consent of each holder to the waiver. ( Section 513 of the Base Indenture )

Changes Not Requiring Approval. The third type of change does not require any vote by holders of debt securities. This type is limited to clarifications and other changes that would not adversely affect holders of the debt securities in any material respect. ( Section 901 of the Base Indenture )

Further Details Concerning Voting. When taking a vote, we will use the following rules to decide how much principal amount to attribute to a security:
