The universe of potential buyers is limited, the board actively explored alternative transaction structures in order to maximize shareholder value, shareholders are expected to benefit from increased liquidity and stronger financial position for the combined company, and the market reaction has been positive." Glass Lewis - "Overall, the strategic merits of the combination appear well supported by the scale, asset quality and long-term copper growth profile of the combined company. If successfully executed, the merger positions Anglo Teck as a financially stronger and more resilient producer with meaningful upside from operational integration and future development opportunities...On balance, we believe the transaction presents a compelling strategic opportunity for Teck shareholders."
