Teck Responds to Glencore's Latest Attempt to Frustrate Value Creation for Teck Shareholders

As predicted in these pages a few weeks ago, Glencore has now sweetened its offer for Teck. Previously, Glencore was simply offering to subsume Teck, as it has subsumed so many other miners, and then to spit out the combined coal assets of both companies into a new vehicle.

Glencore has upped the pressure on Teck management by offering to sweeten its deal further and stating it will make a hostile bid if the management of the Canadian miner won't engage in discussions. Switzerland-based Glencore's approach involves splitting both companies' coal interests from their metals businesses and into a new venture, CoalCo.

Billionaire American/Canadian investor Robert Friedland issued a warning on Twitter Tuesday about the danger of letting Teck Resources get away.

The future of Glencore PLC (LSE:GLEN) $23 billion bid for Canada's Teck Resources Ltd (TSX:TECK.B) hangs in the balance of its shareholders and the mining company's largest stakeholder.

Glencore's rejected merger proposal was effectively a “simpler and larger version” of Teck Resources' current strategy to split, according to Deutsche Bank. Given Canadian miner Teck plans to split its base metals and coking coal assets into two separate businesses anyway, Glencore's idea of separating the two's newly formed business was “similar,” the bank said.
