Vancouver, B.C. – Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) (“Teck”) announced today the voting results from its Special Meeting of Shareholders held on Tuesday, December 9, 2025 (the “Meeting”). Teck shareholders overwhelmingly voted to approve the special resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”) approving the plan of arrangement under the Canadian Business Corporations Act, involving, among other things, the “merger of equals” of Anglo American plc (“Anglo American”) and Teck (the “Merger”). 99.7% of the votes cast by Class A common shareholders at the Meeting were in favour of the Arrangement Resolution and 89.7% of votes cast by Class B subordinate voting shareholders were in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.
“This resoundingly positive vote marks an important milestone in creating Anglo Teck—a global leader in critical minerals headquartered in Canada,” said Jonathan Price, President and CEO, Teck. “Anglo Teck will be positioned to deliver long-term value through a world-class copper growth portfolio, operational and functional synergies, and a stronger platform to meet growing demand for critical minerals essential to global economic growth and the energy transition. We look forward to advancing the necessary regulatory approvals and completing the merger for the benefit of our shareholders, employees, communities, and partners.”
The Arrangement Resolution required the approval of at least (a) two-thirds of the votes cast by Class A common shareholders present or represented by proxy at the Meeting, voting separately as a class; and (b) two-thirds of the votes cast by Class B subordinate voting shareholders present or represented by proxy at the Meeting, voting separately as a class. A total of 6,329,767 Class A common shares, representing 83.3% of the votes attached to all outstanding Class A common shares, and 380,842,347 Class B subordinate voting shares, representing 79.4% of the votes attached to all outstanding shares, were voted at the Meeting. Detailed voting results for the Meeting will be available under Teck’s profiles on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and EDGAR (www.sec.gov).
As announced earlier today by Anglo American, at the General Meeting of Anglo American held earlier on December 9, 2025, shareholders of Anglo American overwhelmingly approved (i) the allotment and issue of new ordinary shares of Anglo American to Teck shareholders in connection with the Merger; and (ii) the change of the name of Anglo American to “Anglo Teck plc” with effect from the completion of the Merger.
The Merger remains subject to customary closing conditions, including approval under the Investment Canada Act and applicable competition and regulatory approvals in various jurisdictions globally and final approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Further information about the Merger can be found in Teck’s management information circular dated November 3, 2025 (the “Circular”) for the Meeting, which is available under Teck’s profile on SEDAR+ and on EDGAR. As disclosed in the Circular, prior to the deadline for eligible Canadian Teck shareholders to make an election to receive the exchangeable share consideration under the Merger, Teck will provide to registered Teck shareholders a letter of transmittal and election form (the “Letter of Transmittal and Election Form”). The Letter of Transmittal and Election Form will explain how to exchange Teck shares for the consideration under the Merger and, for eligible Canadian Teck shareholders, how to elect to receive the exchangeable share consideration under the Merger. Teck will issue a news release announcing once the Letter of Transmittal and Election Form has been made available and providing details on the relevant exchange and election procedures.

Ford to use Renault tech, plants to battle cheap Chinese EVs in Europe
CEO of Ford Jim Farley and CEO of Renault Group Francois Provost react during a press conference as Renault Group and Ford announce the formation of a strategic partnership for passenger and commercial vehicles, in Paris, France, Dec. 8, 2025.
Tom Nicholson | Reuters
Renault will jointly develop small, cheaper electric vehicles for Ford for the European market and will also team up to produce commercial vans to cut costs and fend off rising competition from Chinese rivals, the companies said on Tuesday.
“We know we’re in a fight for our lives in our industry,” Ford CEO Jim Farley told reporters in Paris on Monday ahead of the announcement, when describing Ford’s response to the threat posed by cheaper Chinese competition. “There is no better example than here in Europe.”
Europe’s traditional automakers face an influx of Chinese rivals from BYD to Changan and Xpeng.
Filling a gap in the lineup
As part of the Ford-Renault partnership, the first of two planned small EVs – to be produced at a Renault plant in northern France – will reach European car showrooms in 2028. They will be smaller than any Ford plans for the U.S. market and fill a gap in the automaker’s lineup, Farley said.
The two automakers will also jointly develop Renault and Ford brand vans for Europe.
In a client note, Oddo-BHF analyst Michael Foundoukidis wrote that the deal allowed Renault to offset its fixed costs and generate revenue while offering “a capital-efficient route to market for affordable EVs” for Ford.
“More broadly, this partnership underscores the growing necessity for ‘pragmatic cooperation’,” between traditional automakers to counter lower-cost Chinese competition, he wrote.
A powerhouse for light commercial vehicles
“Together we can create a powerhouse of LCV in Europe that would be very difficult for the Chinese to compete with,” Farley said.
Although there are few Chinese brand vans on sale in Europe, Farley said the two companies “compete with them directly every day” in emerging markets.
“The Chinese will come soon and that’s why I don’t want to wait,” said Renault CEO Francois Provost.
The partnership was formed after a Renault team visited Ford’s Detroit headquarters in March. Both Farley and Provost said the two automakers do not plan to merge.
Ford’s share of the European passenger car market has almost halved in Europe from 6.1% in 2019 to 3.3% in the first 10 months of this year as it has pulled back from passenger vehicle sales. As part of a series of restructurings, the company has cut jobs and this year closed its Saarlouis plant in Germany.
Given the withdrawal of EV support from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, the No. 2 U.S. automaker faces the dual expense of investing in combustion-engine models and expensive new EV technology.
Using Renault’s EV platforms with Ford designs should help the U.S. automaker to compete in Europe’s electric car market against traditional automakers such as Volkswagen as well as the Chinese.
Ford already produces two EV models in Europe on a Volkswagen platform and makes vans with the German automaker. Ford CEO Farley said the Renault partnership will complement its existing one with Volkswagen.
The French automaker also develops vans with Nissan and Volvo Group.
Europe’s smallest mainstream automaker
Renault is Europe’s smallest mainstream automaker and does not sell vehicles in China or the United States – the world’s two biggest car markets – so the Ford partnership boosts its manufacturing scale to lower costs.
The French carmaker is actively seeking partnerships to make fuller use of its factories and reduce the burden of developing new EVs.
In 2026, Renault will produce two vehicles using platforms from China’s Geely in Brazil and is in talks with more automakers, including China’s Chery, to jointly produce and sell cars.
“Our ambition … is to show that in Europe we can produce EV cars in Europe as competitively as anyone, including the Chinese,” Renault’s Provost said.
