Statement from Dr. Norman Keevil – April 16, 2023
Teck Chairman Emeritus Dr. Norman B. Keevil: I would support a transaction – whether it be an operating partnership, merger, acquisition, or sale – with the right partner, on the right terms for Teck Metals after separation. Based on my decades of experience building a successful mining company, I believe that pursuing a sale or merger transaction now would rob our shareholders of significant post-separation value.
