Did you acquire Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. securities between July 31, 2018 and July 31, 2019? TORONTO, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This notice relates to a proposed class action in Canada (the “Class Action“) commenced against Respondents: Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. (“TRQ“), Rio Tinto plc, Rio Tinto Limited, Rio Tinto International Holdings Limited (collectively “Rio Tinto“), and Ulf Quellmann, Luke Colton, Brendan Lane, Jean-Sébastien Jacques and Arnaud Soirat (collectively the “Individual Respondents“). The Representative Plaintiff and all the Respondents have reached a proposed settlement of the claim which is subject to approval by the Superior Court of Québec (the “Settlement“). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the settlement agreement dated December 2, 2025 as between the Representative Plaintiff (Applicant) and the Respondents (the “Settlement Agreement“). The Class Action has been authorized by the Superior Court of Québec for settlement purposes only. This notice provides information about this proposed Settlement and related matters and how you can exclude yourself (“opt-out“) out of the Class Action. Your legal rights are affected even if you do nothing. Please read this notice carefully. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS CLASS ACTION AND/OR THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT. The Class Action was authorized for settlement purposes only on behalf of all persons and entities wherever they may reside or may be domiciled who during the period from July 31, 2018 to July 31, 2019, inclusive (the “Class Period”), purchased or otherwise acquired TRQ’s securities in non-U.S. transactions or on an exchange outside of the United States, and held all or some of those securities until after July 15, 2019 or July 31, 2019, other than the “Excluded Persons” (the “Class Members”). “Excluded Persons” means the Respondents, members of the immediate families of the Individual Respondents, any entity in which the Individual Respondents held a controlling interest, the directors, officers, subsidiaries and affiliates of TRQ and its subsidiaries, and Rio Tinto and its directors, officers, subsidiaries and affiliates and any entity in which Rio Tinto’s directors or officers held a controlling interest. Please note that if you submitted a claim that is eligible for recovery in In re Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. Securities Litigation before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Case No. 1:20-cv-08585-LJL (the “U.S. Class Action“), the purchases, acquisitions, or sales that were eligible in the U.S. Class Action are excluded from recovery in this Settlement. The proposed Settlement Amount is CAD $22,663,980.00, inclusive of all amounts, including but not limited to Class Counsel’s fees, applicable taxes and expenses, and settlement administration costs. The Respondents deny any wrongdoing or liability. The Settlement does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing or liability by TRQ, Rio Tinto or any Individual Respondent. By agreeing to the proposed Settlement, the parties avoid the costs and uncertainty of a trial and delays in obtaining judgment. If you do not wish to be bound by the Class Action and do not wish to participate in the Settlement, you must opt-out of the Class Action. A copy of the opt-out form is available at: The Superior Court of Québec is required to decide whether to approve the proposed Settlement, the request for Class Counsel Fees of 33% of the Settlement Amount plus $917,792.31 in disbursements, and applicable taxes, and a plan to allocate and distribute the Settlement Amount. The proposed plan of allocation is available at: www.TRQSettlement.com. Class Counsel also estimates that the cost of the Notice and Settlement Administration (to process all claims submissions and administer payments to all Class Members who submit a claim) will equal roughly 1.78% to 2.38% of the Settlement Amount, depending on how many claims are submitted. The Court will hear submissions about the approval of the proposed Settlement on October 20, 2026. Payments will only be made available if the Court approves the proposed Settlement, after any appeals, and after a claims process is concluded. If the Court approves Class Counsel’s request for its fees and repayment of its out-of-pocket expenses, and after subtracting the Settlement Administration Cost, it is estimated that there will be roughly $13,672,238.43 to $13,808,709.52 in net Settlement Funds remaining. If the Settlement and proposed Plan of Allocation are approved, the Claims Administrator will calculate each Settlement Class Members’ entitlement on a pro rata basis based on the amount of their compensable loss, up to the value of their calculated loss, and make payment. In other words, each Claimant will be paid the same percentage of their compensable losses, up to 100%, depending on the amount of remaining funds and the total amount of compensable losses submitted by all Claimants.
