Rio Tinto agrees revisions to funding arrangements with
Turquoise Hill Resources
Rio Tinto has agreed to amend the previously agreed funding plan
with Turquoise Hill Resources (TRQ) (9 April, 2021) in order to
provide liquidity of up to $400 million in short-term early
advances, while the Special Committee of TRQ evaluates Rio Tinto's
C$34 per share all-cash proposal to acquire the approximately 49%
of the issued and outstanding shares of TRQ that Rio Tinto does not
currently own.
Subject to the satisfaction of certain minimum liquidity and
other conditions, the early advances will be available at any time
up to their maturity on 31 December, 2022, and enable TRQ to fund
the ongoing development of the Oyu Tolgoi (OT) Underground Project
in Mongolia. The deadline in the previously agreed funding plan for
Turquoise Hill to conduct an initial equity offering of at least
$650 million has also been extended from the end of August 2022 to
the end of 2022.
Rio Tinto Canadian early warning disclosure
Rio Tinto currently beneficially owns 102,196,643 common shares
of Turquoise Hill, representing approximately 51% of the issued and
outstanding common shares of Turquoise Hill. Rio Tinto also has
anti-dilution rights that permit it to acquire additional
securities of Turquoise Hill so as to maintain its proportionate
equity interest in Turquoise Hill from time to time.
This announcement is authorised for release to the market by,

from, Rio Tinto's Group Company Secretary.
