Palliser wants an Australia-only listing, claiming it would boost Rio’s share price.
“Assertions about $50bn of value erosion due to the group's dual-listing are both unfounded and misleading,” Rio Tinto said on Wednesday. "A dual-listed companies structure unification is not required to provide the group with strategic flexibility,".
Rio will have its London annual shareholder meeting on April 3 and its Australian meeting in Perth on May 1.
