chief executive officer Jonathan Price says a widely distributed media report claiming Teck’s biggest B-class shareholder, China Investment Corp. , favours Glencore’s hostile takeover proposal over Teck’s proposed split isn’t accurate.
“I spoke with CIC last night, and they’ve confirmed to me that they have not met with Glencore, and that the media reports are false,” Mr. Price said in an interview. Mr. Price would not reveal any other details of his conversation with CIC, other than providing nuance on the Chinese state-owned firm’s decision-making process.
CIC, which holds a 10.3 per cent stake in Teck, has not responded to multiple requests for comment from The Globe over the past few weeks.Glencore is offering US$23.1-billion to buy Teck in its current standalone format, which amounts to a 22-per-cent premium to Teck’s market value before the deal was announced. Teck has rejected the proposal, saying it would destroy shareholder value, expose Teck to significant execution risk and harm its environmental, social and corporate governance standing.
