Teck Announces $0.125 Dividend and Additional US$500 Million Share Buyback Program
Vancouver, B.C. – Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) (“Teck”) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared an eligible dividend of $0.125 per share on its outstanding Class A common shares and Class B subordinate voting shares, to be paid on September 29, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2022.
In addition to the dividend, and in accordance with Teck’s Capital Allocation Framework, the Board has directed management to apply up to US$500 million to the repurchase of Class B subordinate voting shares. These proposed share repurchases are in addition to the US$500 million (of which US$436 million has been purchased to date) and C$100 million in share repurchases previously announced in 2022.
All share repurchases are expected to be made in accordance with Teck’s previously announced normal course issuer bid program, or any renewal thereof, or by such other means as may be permitted under applicable securities laws. The current program authorizes Teck to purchase up to 40 million Class B subordinate voting shares through the period ending November 1, 2022. Any repurchases following that date may depend on regulatory approval of a renewed normal course issuer bid program. Teck intends to purchase shares opportunistically. The company will determine the timing of any purchases, and may repurchase fewer or a greater number of shares, subject to the requirements of the issuer bid program and applicable securities laws.
