Teck launches consent solicitations to amend $1.03 billion notes ahead of Anglo American merger

Teck launched consent solicitations to amend covenants and events of default across about USD 1.03 billion of outstanding notes.

The amendments aim to align terms with Anglo American’s indenture ahead of the planned Anglo Teck merger, targeted for September 2026 to March 2027.

Consents expire Aug. 11, 2026; approval requires a majority of each series outstanding as of the July 31, 2026 record date.

Holders who consent receive USD 1 per USD 1,000 principal, payable two business days after expiration, subject to conditions.

Anglo Teck could later guarantee the notes if the amendments pass, but has no obligation to do so.
