subject to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. Notes tendered
pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures are required to be
tendered at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on July 17,

Overall, US$1,367,481,000 principal amount of Notes have been
accepted for purchase, excluding the Notes delivered pursuant to
the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. The Maximum Purchase Condition
(after giving effect to the increase described above) has been
satisfied with respect to the Offers in respect of each of the

tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration
Date have been accepted for purchase.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase, Holders whose Notes have been accepted for
purchase in the Offers will receive the applicable Total

In addition to the applicable Total Consideration, Holders whose
Notes have been accepted for purchase will be paid the Accrued
Coupon Payment. Interest will cease to accrue on the Initial
Settlement Date for all Notes accepted in the Offers, including
those tendered pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.
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

obligated to accept for payment, purchase or pay for, and may delay
the acceptance for payment of, any tendered notes, in each event
