There are no material changes to the commercial terms of the previously announced Waneta purchase agreement between Fortis Inc. ("Fortis"), and Teck. Under the agreement, Teck Metals Ltd. ("Teck Metals") will be granted a 20-year lease to use the two-thirds interest in Waneta to produce power for its industrial operations in Trail. Annual payments will begin at approximately $75 million per year and escalate at 2% per annum, equivalent to an initial power price of $40/MWh based on 1,880 GWh of energy per annum. Teck Metals will have an option to extend the lease for a further 10 years at comparable rates.

Under the Waneta purchase agreement with Fortis, Teck expects to pay Fortis a break fee of approximately $28 million.

Teck expects to realize a net book gain of approximately $800 million on closing. No cash tax will be payable on the proceeds.

Closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals and certain consents, and is not expected before the first quarter of 2018.
