Good afternoon,

Rio Tinto has confirmed the news broken by The Australian's DataRoom column late last week that it's made a takeover approach for Arcadium Lithium. If successful, the deal would deliver it immediate production and a company which is seeking to double sales over the next four years.

Meanwhile, the Qantas board is likely to avoid a humiliating spill motion at its impending AGM, after an influential proxy advisory firm recommended shareholders vote in favour of the executive remuneration report.

But the Flying Kangaroo's hierarchy won't be spared red faces completely and there have been plenty of apologies issued after a graphic R-rated film was shown on a flight from Sydney to Tokyo.
