Teck, Glencore and CIC did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. Teck has repeatedly rejected Glencore's offer of merging the companies and subsequently spinning off their combined thermal and steel-making coal businesses, saying it would expose shareholders to thermal coal, oil, LNG and related sectors. It has instead urged its investors to vote for a restructuring proposal which will see it spin off its highly polluting coal business and focus on production of copper. Teck investors will decide on the Canadian miner's restructuring plan on April 26. CIC is considering a vote against Teck's restructuring proposal, although it has yet to make a final decision, the report added.
