Glencore (GLEN): Green Light from Canada for $6.9bn Acquisition of EVR. Demerger on the Table.

By Dimitris Ioannidis

  • Following the regulatory approval from the Government of Canada, Glencore’s cash acquisition of 77% stake in Teck’s Elk Valley Resources (EVR) is expected to close on 11 July 2024.
  • The cash acquisition is forecasted not to cause any passive fund flows based on the deal structure.
  • The potential demerger introduces the risk for Glencore approaching the exit threshold of STOXX Europe 50. This is yet undetermined due to the long time horizon.
