Hi dynofish
My take of the Corporations Act is that RIO must give a substantial shareholder notice when their holding changes by more than 1% during the takeover period and must do so within 1 business day.
There is also a link to general advice on takeovers on the the ASIC FIDO website.

My oipinion only. Please do your own research.
