Teck and Anglo American plc Merger of Equals
- On September 9, 2025, Teck and Anglo American plc (Anglo American) announced a merger of equals (the Merger) to form Anglo Teck, a global critical minerals champion headquartered in Canada. Both Anglo American and Teck believe the Merger will be highly attractive for their respective shareholders and stakeholders, enhancing portfolio quality, financial and operational resilience and strategic positioning.
- The Merger is expected to deliver annual pre-tax synergies of approximately US$800 million, with approximately 80% expected to be realized on a run-rate basis by the end of the second year following completion. Anglo Teck will also work with key stakeholders and partners to optimize the value of the adjacent Collahuasi and Quebrada Blanca assets to realize an expected US$1.4 billion (100% basis) of annual average underlying EBITDA2 uplift from 2030-2049. The combination between QB and Collahuasi offers shareholders the fastest route to copper growth, at the lowest risk and capital intensity, and delivers the highest returns relative to the standalone alternatives, while not precluding further future expansion at Collahuasi or QB. Together, these future opportunities offer the potential for multi-decade copper growth, in the interests of all stakeholders, in Chile and around the world.
- On December 9, 2025, shareholders of both Teck and Anglo American approved the Merger as required under the arrangement agreement. On December 15, 2025, Teck and Anglo American received regulatory approval from the Government of Canada under the Investment Canada Act (ICA) for the Merger.
- The Merger remains subject to customary closing conditions for a transaction of this nature, including regulatory approvals. The parties continue to work collaboratively toward securing the required approvals, advancing the transaction to completion, and progressing integration planning.
