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) has been 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 has been 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) today, July 15, 2024. See “Description of the
Offers—Determination of the Total Consideration” in the Offer to
Purchase. 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withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on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.
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.
The Offers are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions
as described in the Offer to Purchase. 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).
Teck has retained BofA Securities, Inc. and RBC Capital Markets,
LLC to act as the lead dealer managers (the “Lead Dealer Managers”)
for the Offers and BMO Capital Markets Corp., TD Securities (USA)
LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. and CIBC World Markets
Corp. to act as co-dealer managers (the “Co-Dealer Managers” and,
together with the Lead Dealer Managers, the “Dealer Managers”) for
the Offers. Questions regarding the terms and conditions for the
Offers should be directed to BofA Securities, Inc. at (888)
292-0070 (toll-free) or (980) 387-3907 (collect), or RBC Capital
Markets, LLC at (877) 381-2099 (toll-free) or (212) 618-7843
(collect).

Information and Tender Agent for the Offers. Questions or requests
for assistance related to the Offers or for additional copies of
the Offer to Purchase may be directed to Global Bondholder Services

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.
