Teck Recommends that Shareholders Reject "Mini-Tender Offer" by TRC Capital

Teck Recommends that Shareholders Reject "Mini-Tender Offer" by TRC Capital

Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) ("Teck") has been notified of an unsolicited "mini-tender" offer by TRC Capital Corporation ("TRC") to purchase up to 2.0 million Class B subordinate voting shares of Teck, representing approximately 0.41 percent of Teck's outstanding Class B subordinate voting shares as of May 23, 2025.

The offer price of $47.80 represents a 4.46% discount to the closing price of Teck's Class B subordinate voting shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange on May 20, 2025, the day prior to the date of the offer.

Teck recommends that shareholders NOT tender their Class B subordinate voting shares in response to TRC's below-market price mini-tender offer. TRC's mini-tender offer is subject to many conditions, including conditions based on TRC's subjective opinion, a financing condition, and a condition that there shall not have occurred since May 20, 2025, a decrease in the price of Teck's Class B subordinate voting shares, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 Average or a number of other stock market indices.

Teck does not endorse TRC's unsolicited mini-tender offer and is not associated with TRC, the mini-tender offer or the offer documentation. TRC has made many similar unsolicited mini-tender offers for shares of other companies. Mini-tender offers are designed to seek less than 5% of a company's outstanding shares, thereby avoiding many investor protections such as disclosure and procedural requirements applicable to most takeover bids and tender offers under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. Shareholders who are considering tendering their shares to TRC's mini-tender offer are strongly urged to exercise caution with respect to TRC's offer, obtain current market quotations for their Teck Class B subordinate voting shares, consult with their financial advisors and carefully examine TRC's mini-tender offer.

The Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") have expressed serious concerns about mini-tender offers such as the possibility that investors might tender to a mini-tender offer based upon a misunderstanding of the terms of the offer, including the per security price available under the offer relative to the market price of such securities. The CSA's long-standing guidance on mini-tenders can be found at: https://www.osc.ca/en/securities-law/instruments-rules-policies/6/61-301/csa-staff-notice-61-301-staff-guidance-practice-mini-tenders . The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has published investor tips regarding mini-tender offers on its website at: https://www.sec.gov/about/reports-publications/investorpubsminitend .

Brokers, dealers and other market participants are encouraged to exercise caution and review the letter regarding broker-dealer mini-tender offer dissemination and disclosures on the SEC website at https://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/minitenders/sia072401.htm .

According to TRC's current offer documents, Teck shareholders who have already tendered their shares may withdraw their shares at any time before 11:59 a.m. (Toronto time) on June 18, 2025, by following the procedures described in the offer documents.

Teck requests that TRC include a copy of this news release with all distributions of materials relating to TRC's mini-tender offer related to Teck shares.

Teck Resources Limited Class A Multiple Voting Shares

Teck is a diversified miner with coal, copper, zinc, and oil sands operations in Canada, the United States, Chile, and Peru. Metallurgical coal is Teck's primary commodity in terms of EBITDA contribution, closely followed by copper, with zinc and oil sands contributing smaller amounts to earnings. Teck ranks as the world's second- largest exporter of seaborne metallurgical coal and is a top-three zinc miner. It is building a major new copper mine in Chile at the majority-owned Quebrada Blanca 2, in partnership with Sumitomo, which will increase Teck's attributable copper production by around 80%. Along with a number of additional copper growth options, Teck's strategy is to rebalance its portfolio to low carbon metals such as copper.

Shanghai Platinum Week Showcases China’s Dominance in Global PGMs Demand

China is solidifying its position as the primary engine for global platinum demand

Record participation in Shanghai Platinum Week underscores the country’s expanding influence in a market facing a deepening supply deficit. The event, which attracted over 590 delegates from 30 countries, took place at a critical moment — just as the platinum market is tightening and a supply shortfall is deepening through 2029.

The World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) notes that China now accounts for 64 percent of global demand for platinum bars and coins — up from 11 percent in 2019 — driven largely by investors seeking alternatives to gold.

Platinum Price Update: H1 2025 in Review

Platinum began the year trading between US$900 and US$1,100 per ounce.

While platinum and other platinum-group metals are considered precious metals, they largely trade on demand from the auto sector. Platinum is used as a catalyst to control emissions from internal combustion engine vehicles.

Over the past several years, demand for electric and hybrid vehicles has increased, which has led to a reduction in platinum loadouts and lowered overall demand. However, with changing environmental regulations, an end to electric vehicle (EV) mandates and tax credits, the market may be experiencing a turnaround in H1.

Editor's Picks: Platinum Hits 11 Year High, Expert Touts Silver's Bullish Future

It was a week of downward momentum for the gold price.

The yellow metal neared the US$3,400 per ounce level on Monday (June 23) as investors reacted to the weekend's escalation in tensions in the Middle East, but sank to just above US$3,300 the next day.

The decline came as US President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire. While the ceasefire has not gone entirely smoothly, with Trump expressing displeasure about violations, the news appeared to calm investors.

Platinum Price Surges to 11 Year High, Breaks US$1,400

The platinum price surged above US$1,400 per ounce during Thursday (June 26) morning trading, reaching its highest level in 11 years amid a wave of speculative buying in the US and China.

In the US, industrial demand for the metal is rising as American carmakers scale back their electrification plans. At the same time, new policies are set to walk back consumer subsidies for electric vehicles.

These Trump administration mandates are expected to result in increased demand for traditional internal combustion engines or hybrid vehicles, which require higher platinum loadouts.
