Teck Resources Ltd. said Tuesday that it will review Glencore
PLC's revised unsolicited offer to effectively buy out shareholders
of their coal exposure, but noted that the new offer isn't much
different.
Earlier on Tuesday, Glencore, a London-listed Anglo-Swiss
commodity mining and trading company, said its new offer would see
Teck shareholders receive 24% of MetalsCo and $8.2 billion in
cash.
Teck Resources said that the revised proposal offers a cash
consideration in lieu of shares in the proposed combined coal
entity, but that it appears to be largely unchanged.
Last week, Glencore came to Teck with a proposal to merge the
two businesses in an all-share deal, with a simultaneous demerger
of their combined coal business.
At the time Glencore said the deal would unlock $4.25 billion to
$5.25 billion of estimated post-tax synergy value and would give
its shareholders 76% of the merged company.
Teck said that it will "carefully and expeditiously" review and
evaluate the new proposal with its financial and legal advisers,
consistent with its fiduciary duties.
