for an equal number of Fording Units and (ii) cash consideration of $82.00 per Fording Unit,

Introduction
This Amendment No. 4 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the Final
Amendment) amends and supplements the Schedule 13E-3 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) by Fording Canadian Coal Trust, an unincorporated, open-ended mutual fund
trust governed by a Declaration of Trust and the laws of Alberta, Canada (Fording), Fording (GP)
ULC, an unlimited liability company organized under the
Companies Act
(Nova Scotia), and Teck
Cominco Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Canada (Teck), on August 21, 2008 (the
Original 13E-3), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Original 13E-3 filed with the SEC on August
27, 2008, Amendment No. 2 to the Original 13E-3 filed with the SEC on September 10, 2008 and
Amendment No. 3 to the Original 13E-3 filed with the SEC on September 30, 2008.
This Final Amendment is being filed
pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) to report the results of the
Rule 13e-3 transaction. On September 30, 2008, the securityholders of Fording approved the Arrangement
Agreement, dated July 29, 2008, as amended by an amending agreement dated September 6, 2008 between Fording and Teck and the related Plan of Arrangement
(the Plan of Arrangement) and the Court of Queens Bench of Alberta approved the Arrangement (the
Arrangement) under Section 193 of the
Business Corporations Act
(Alberta), as set forth in the
Plan of Arrangement. Pursuant to the Arrangement, on October 30, 2008, Teck acquired all of
the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Fording, and Fording unitholders received 0.245 of a Teck Class B subordinate voting share
and cash in the amount of US$82.00 (less any amounts withheld on account of taxes) for each unit.
Upon completion of the Arrangement,
Fording terminated and ceased to exist and Fordings units
will be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.
