COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF
YOUR CHOICE.
According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants issued materially false and misleading
statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Rio Tinto violated anti-corruption laws in connection with its
operations with respect to the Simandou project; (2) the foregoing violations would expose Rio Tinto to significant scrutiny and
large fines; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Rio Tinto’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all
relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court
no later than February 10, 2017. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing
