Teck Reports Voting Results from Special Meeting of Shareholders
Shareholders voted with about 99% approval to merge, creating a top global copper producer with over 70% copper exposure and aiming to boost shareholder value.
- Shareholders approved the 50 billion dollar merger between Anglo American and Teck Resources, creating Anglo Teck, one of the world’s largest copper producers.
- As rationale, executives highlighted capturing industrial synergies and long-term growth optionality to offer investors more than 70% exposure to copper amid shareholder objections and planned boss bonuses.
- Under the deal structure, Anglo American shareholders will own about 62.4% of the merged company and Teck shareholders 37.6%, with primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and secondary listings in Toronto, South Africa and New York.
- The merged group's management will be based in Vancouver while retaining corporate offices in the United Kingdom and Johannesburg, South Africa, and Anglo American scrapped planned multimillion-pound boss bonuses before the vote.
- Company bosses will work closely together to secure regulatory approval in different jurisdictions over the course of 2026, framing clearance as the next key milestone for the transaction.
