Rio Tinto Performance Share Plan 2013 ("PSP")
The PSP is a performance based share plan which provides participants with the conditional right (known as a Performance Share Award or PSA) to receive Rio Tinto plc or Rio Tinto Limited shares, subject to performance conditions being met.
The PSA granted in 2015 is subject to two performance conditions. Two thirds of the award is subject to Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance and the remaining third to an Earnings based measure of Relative EBIT Margin. The TSR part of the award vested on 27 February 2020. The remaining third of the PSA granted in 2015 will vest on 31 May 2020 once the relative EBIT margin performance has been established.
On 27 February 2020, the following PDMRs received their vested PSA in the form of shares, of which sufficient were sold to pay applicable withholding tax and other deductions.
