set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated July 4, 2024 relating to
the Notes (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the notice of guaranteed
delivery attached as Appendix A thereto (the “Notice of Guaranteed

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the
Offers described in the Offer to Purchase, if the Maximum Purchase
Condition is not satisfied with respect to every series of Notes,
Teck will accept Notes for purchase in the order of their
respective Acceptance Priority Level specified in the table above
(with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 6 being the
lowest Acceptance Priority Level). It is possible that a series of
Notes with a particular Acceptance Priority Level will not be
accepted for purchase even if one or more series with a higher or
lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted for purchase. |
(2) |
|
For each series of Notes in respect of which a par call date is
indicated, the calculation of the applicable Total Consideration
(as defined below) may be performed to either the maturity date or
such par call date, in accordance with standard market
convention. |
(3) |
|
The total consideration for each series of Notes (such
consideration, the “Total Consideration”) payable per each US$1,000
principal amount of such series of Notes validly tendered for
purchase will be based on the applicable Fixed Spread specified in
the table above for such series of Notes, plus the applicable yield
based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury
reference security as specified in the table above, as quoted on
the applicable Bloomberg Reference Page as of 2:00 p.m. (Eastern
time) on July 15, 2024, unless extended with respect to the
applicable Offer (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as
the same may be extended with respect to such Offer, the “Price
Determination Date”). The Total Consideration does not include the
applicable Accrued Coupon Payment (as defined below), which will be
payable in cash in addition to the applicable Total
Consideration. |
|
|
|
The Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on July 15,
2024, unless extended or earlier terminated (such date and time
with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended with respect
to such Offer, the “Expiration Date”). Notes may be validly
withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on
July 15, 2024, unless extended with respect to any Offer.
For Holders who deliver a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and all
other required documentation at or prior to the Expiration Date,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Tender Offer Documents, the deadline to validly tender Notes using
the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures (as defined in the Offer to
Purchase) will be the second business day after the Expiration Date
and is expected to be 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on July 17, 2024,
unless extended with respect to any Offer (the “Guaranteed Delivery
Date”).
The Initial Settlement Date will be the second business day
after the Expiration Date and is expected to be July 17, 2024. The
Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date will be the second business day
after the Guaranteed Delivery Date and is expected to be July 19,
2024. Each of the Initial Settlement Date and the Guaranteed
Delivery Settlement Date is herein referred to as a “Settlement
Date.”
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in
the Offers will receive the applicable Total Consideration for each
US$1,000 principal amount of such Notes in cash on the applicable
Settlement Date. Promptly after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on July
15, 2024, the Price Determination Date, unless extended with
respect to any Offer, Teck will issue a press release specifying,
among other things, the Total Consideration for each series of
Notes validly tendered and accepted.
In addition to the applicable Total Consideration, Holders whose
Notes are accepted for purchase will receive a cash payment equal
to the accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from and including
the immediately preceding interest payment date for such Notes to,
but excluding, the Initial Settlement Date (the “Accrued Coupon
Payment”). Interest will cease to accrue on the Initial Settlement
Date for all Notes accepted in the Offers, and Holders whose Notes
are tendered pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures and are
accepted for purchase will not receive payment in respect of any
interest for the period from and including the Initial Settlement
Date. Under no circumstances will any interest be payable because
of any delay in the transmission of funds to Holders by The
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its participants.
Teck’s obligation to complete an Offer with respect to a
particular series of Notes validly tendered is conditioned on the
satisfaction of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase,
including that the aggregate principal amount purchased for the
Offers (the “Aggregate Purchase Amount”) not exceed
US$1,250,000,000 (the “Maximum Purchase Amount”), and on the
Maximum Purchase Amount being sufficient to include the aggregate
principal amount of all validly tendered Notes of such series
(after accounting for all validly tendered Notes accepted for
purchase that have a higher Acceptance Priority Level) (the
“Maximum Purchase Condition”). Teck reserves the right, but is
under no obligation, to increase or waive the Maximum Purchase
Amount, in its sole discretion subject to applicable law, with or
without extending the Withdrawal Date. No assurance can be given
that Teck will increase or waive the Maximum Purchase Amount. If
Holders tender more Notes in the Offers than they expect to be
accepted for purchase based on the Maximum Purchase Amount and Teck
subsequently accepts more than such Holders expected of such Notes
tendered as a result of an increase of the Maximum Purchase Amount,
such Holders may not be able to withdraw any of their previously
tendered Notes. Accordingly, Holders should not tender any Notes
that they do not wish to be accepted for purchase.
If the Maximum Purchase Condition is not satisfied with respect
to each series of Notes, for (i) a series of Notes (the “First
Non-Covered Notes”) for which the Maximum Purchase Amount is less
than the sum of (x) the Aggregate Purchase Amount for all validly
tendered First Non-Covered Notes and (y) the Aggregate Purchase
Amount for all validly tendered Notes of all series having a higher
Acceptance Priority Level as set forth in the table above (with 1
being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 6 being the lowest
Acceptance Priority Level) than the First Non-Covered Notes, and
(ii) all series of Notes with an Acceptance Priority Level lower
than the First Non-Covered Notes (together with the First
Non-Covered Notes, the “Non- Covered Notes”), Teck may, at any time
on or prior to the Expiration Time:
(a) |
|
terminate an Offer
with respect to one or more series of Non-Covered Notes for which
the Maximum Purchase Condition has not been satisfied, and promptly
return all validly tendered Notes of such series, and any other
series of Non-Covered Notes, to the respective tendering Holders;
or |
(b) |
|
waive the Maximum
Purchase Condition with respect to one or more series of
Non-Covered Notes and accept all Notes of such series, and of any
series of Notes having a higher Acceptance Priority Level, validly
tendered; or |
(c) |
|
if there is any
series of Non-Covered Notes with a lower Acceptance Priority Level
than the First Non-Covered Notes for which: |
|
|
(i) |
|
the Aggregate Purchase Amount necessary to purchase all validly
tendered Notes of such series, plus |
|
|
(ii) |
|
the Aggregate Purchase Amount
necessary to purchase all validly tendered Notes of all series
having a higher Acceptance Priority Level than such series of
Notes, other than any series of Non-Covered Notes that has or have
not also been accepted as contemplated by this clause (c), is equal
to, or less than, the Maximum Purchase Amount, accept all validly
tendered Notes of all such series having a lower Acceptance
Priority Level, until there is no series of Notes with a higher or
lower Acceptance Priority Level to be considered for purchase for
which the conditions set forth above are met. |
|
|
|
|
|
It is possible that a series of Notes with a particular
Acceptance Priority Level will fail to meet the conditions set
forth above and therefore will not be accepted for purchase even if
one or more series with a higher or lower Acceptance Priority Level
are accepted for purchase.
For purposes of determining whether the Maximum Purchase
Condition is satisfied, Teck will assume that all Notes tendered
pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures will be duly
delivered at or prior to the Guaranteed Delivery Date and Teck will
not subsequently adjust the acceptance of the Notes in accordance
with the Acceptance Priority Levels if any such Notes are not so
delivered. Teck reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to
waive the Maximum Purchase Condition with respect to any Offer.
The Offers are subject to the satisfaction of these conditions
and certain other conditions. Teck reserves the right, subject to
applicable law, to waive any and all conditions to any Offer. If
any of the conditions is not satisfied, Teck is not obligated to
accept for payment, purchase or pay for, and may delay the
acceptance for payment of, any tendered notes, in each event
subject to applicable laws, and may terminate or alter any or all
of the Offers. The Offers are not conditioned on the tender of any
aggregate minimum principal amount of Notes of any series (subject
to minimum denomination requirements as set forth in the Offer to
Purchase).

LLC to act as the lead dealer managers (the “Lead Dealer Managers”)
for the Offers and BMO Capital Markets Corp., TD Securities (USA)
LLC, and CIBC World Markets Corp. to act as co-dealer managers (the

If Teck terminates any Offer with respect to one or more series
of Notes, it will give prompt notice to the Information and Tender
Agent, and all Notes tendered pursuant to such terminated Offer
will be returned promptly to the tendering Holders thereof. With
effect from such termination, any Notes blocked in DTC will be
released.
Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or
other intermediary through which they hold Notes as to when such
intermediary would need to receive instructions from a beneficial
owner in order for that Holder to be able to participate in, or
withdraw their instruction to participate in the Offers before the
deadlines specified herein and in the Offer to Purchase. The
deadlines set by any such intermediary and DTC for the submission
and withdrawal of tender instructions will also be earlier than the
relevant deadlines specified herein and in the Offer to
Purchase.
