In response to press reports,
While Glencore remains willing to pursue its Proposed Merger Demerger, Glencore has made this alternative proposal to acquire EVR as it is expected to allow for a value accretive demerger of the combined coal and carbon steel materials business ('CoalCo') to its shareholders. We also note continued strong support from shareholders for a transaction between Glencore and Teck.
If a transaction were to materialise, Glencore would demerge CoalCo, once Glencore has sufficiently delevered, which is expected approximately 12-24 months from close. Glencore would manage its post-demerger balance sheet, post servicing its formulaic base distribution, to a revised c.
Glencore is fully committed to ensuring that the Proposed EVR Acquisition would benefit
There is no certainty that any transaction will occur and further updates will be provided as necessary.
