The merger is being carried out under an arrangement agreement signed by Teck and Anglo American on September 9, 2025. Details of the transaction were also outlined in Teck’s management information circular dated November 3, 2025.
One of the conditions required for the merger to be completed is that Anglo American declare a special dividend for its ordinary shareholders worth approximately US$4.5 billion. The special dividend is referred to as the Anglo Special Dividend.
Under the original terms of the arrangement agreement, the dividend was required to be paid within 30 days after the effective date of the merger. Teck and Anglo American have now agreed to extend that timeline.

The companies did not announce any changes to the value of the special dividend or to the requirement that it be declared as a condition of completing the merger. The amendment only affects the timing of when the dividend will be paid following the completion of the transaction.
The proposed merger remains subject to the fulfilment or waiver of the remaining conditions set out in the arrangement agreement.
