#### General
The Bank of New York Mellon acts as the trustee under the indenture dated July 2, 2001, which was amended and restated on March 16, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”) and amended by the supplemental indenture dated May 8, 2017 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) and the supplemental indenture dated May 6, 2020 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”, which, together with the Base Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture, is referred to herein as the “indenture”). The trustee has two principal functions:

•

First, it can enforce the rights of holders of the debt securities against us or Rio Tinto if we or Rio Tinto default on debt securities issued under the indenture. There are some limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on behalf of holders of the debt securities, described under “— Default and Related Matters — Events of Default — Remedies If an Event of Default Occurs ” below; and

•

Second, the trustee performs administrative duties for us, such as sending interest payments to holders, transferring debt securities to new buyers and sending notices to holders.

Both Rio Tinto plc and Rio Tinto Limited act as the guarantors of the debt securities issued under the indenture. The guarantees are described under “— Guarantees ” below.

The indenture and its associated documents contain the full legal text of the matters described in this section. The indenture, the debt securities and the guarantees are governed by New York law. A copy of the form of indenture is filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement. See “ Where You Can Find More Information ” for information on how to obtain a copy.

We may issue as many distinct series of debt securities under the indenture as we wish. This section summarizes all material terms of the debt securities and the guarantees that are common to all series, unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series.

Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the debt securities or the guarantees. This summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the indenture, including some of the terms used
