Teck Resources Limited has commenced the exchange process for its court-approved merger with Anglo American plc by mailing a letter of transmittal to registered shareholders. The document outlines the procedures for holders of Class A common shares and Class B subordinate voting shares to exchange their securities for consideration in the merger of equals. The transaction is governed by a plan of arrangement under section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act.
Under the terms of the merger, each Teck share will be exchanged for 1.3301 ordinary shares of Anglo American. Eligible Canadian shareholders may elect to receive exchangeable shares of Anglo Teck Exchangeco Limited instead of ordinary shares. The election window is currently open, allowing registered shareholders to begin depositing their completed letters of transmittal with Computershare Investor Services Inc., the designated depositary.
The settlement pathway varies depending on the shareholder's registration status. The table below summarizes the default procedures for each category:
| Shareholder Type | Default Settlement Pathway |
|---|---|
| Registered Teck shareholders (holding a share certificate or DRS advice) | Must deposit a completed Letter of Transmittal with the Depositary. Anglo Shares will be issued in certificated form in the shareholder’s name, or Exchangeable Shares in DRS form for eligible Canadian electors. |
| Non-registered Teck shareholders holding through CDS | Anglo Shares will be issued to CDS and credited to the same CDS participant account. Eligible Canadian shareholders must provide election instructions to their intermediary by the deadline to receive Exchangeable Shares. |
| Non-registered Teck shareholders holding through DTC | Anglo Shares will be settled as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and credited to the same DTC account. Eligible Canadian shareholders wishing to receive Exchangeable Shares must withdraw shares from DTC or transfer them to CDS in advance of the Election Deadline. |
The Election Deadline has not yet been determined, but Teck expects to announce it at least seven business days prior to the deadline. Shareholders who fail to make a valid election or deposit their documents by the deadline will receive Anglo Shares by default. Registered shareholders who do not complete the process will not be entitled to vote or receive dividends on Anglo Shares until the exchange is finalized. If the letter of transmittal is not properly executed within three years of the merger closing, the right to consideration will terminate and be forfeited.
Shareholders should be aware that under current UK law, a stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax of 1.5% may apply if Anglo Shares are transferred into a clearance service or to the depositary bank for the ADR facility after issuance. Registered shareholders intending to hold Anglo Shares through CDS or as ADRs are advised to transfer their Teck Shares into the respective system prior to the merger's completion to mitigate potential tax liabilities.
Teck’s management proxy circular dated November 3, 2025, and the form of letter of transmittal are available on SEDAR+, EDGAR, and the company’s website. The completion of the merger remains subject to regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other conditions precedent.
