Canadian mining company Teck Resources Ltd. said Tuesday it will carefully review a modified hostile takeover offer put forward by Swiss company Glencore, but added it doesn91裸聊视频檛 believe the new proposal increases the overall value of the proposed deal for Teck shareholders.

In a statement, the Vancouver-based miner said it also doesn91裸聊视频檛 believe the new proposal addresses the 91裸聊视频渕aterial risks91裸聊视频� raised by Teck on April 3 when it rejected Glencore91裸聊视频檚 first takeover offer.

91裸聊视频淭eck will advise shareholders of the board91裸聊视频檚 decision regarding the revised proposal as soon as practicable,91裸聊视频� the company said Tuesday.

Earlier in the day, Glencore announced it is modifying its hostile takeover offer for Teck Resources Ltd. to include an US$8.2-billion cash component to its proposal.

Under the revised offer, Teck shareholders would receive 24 per cent of the combined metals company and the cash.

The company91裸聊视频檚 initial proposal had been an all-stock offer that would have seen Glencore acquire Teck and then split up the metals side of both companies along with parts of Glencore91裸聊视频檚 marketing business into one company, and the combined coal and some other related assets into another company.

Glencore said Tuesday it acknowledges that certain Teck investors may prefer a full coal exit and others may not desire thermal coal exposure.

91裸聊视频淎ccordingly, we are prepared, as a modification to the proposed transaction, to introduce a cash element to buy your shareholders out of their coal exposure,91裸聊视频� Glencore chief executive Gary Nagle wrote in a letter to the Teck board of directors.

Teck rejected Glencore91裸聊视频檚 initial unsolicited takeover offer in favour of its own plan, announced in February, that would see it split up its metal and coal businesses into two companies.

The Vancouver-based miner has said that its plan will give shareholders more choice and ways to maximize value because they will hold shares in both Teck Metals and the new coal company, Elk Valley Resources.

Teck is controlled by the Keevil family which owns the company91裸聊视频檚 class A shares together with Japanese company Sumitomo.

Norman B. Keevil, chairman emeritus of Teck, has told the Globe and Mail newspaper that he has no interest in seeing Teck sold to Glencore.
