5i Research Answer:
The deal is not a takeover of TECK, though this was initally the plan. The approved deal is the sale of TECK's coal business, for $9.5B, which will now close July 11. TECK plans to utilize the proceeds to initiate a $2B share buyback and invest in its copper segment, and pay down debt. TECK shares will still trade. We see it as a good deal for the company.
