The key is; This goes into effect Jan 2, 2013, for shareholders on Dec 14, 2012. So has Teck made any other CashFlow decisions that go into effect in 2012?? This will cost them half a Billion starting next year annually. Remember, the last press release with the presentations had D.Lindsay admit that there was a big debate among Board members on whether to issue a dividend or not.
TCK.B = $263.7M TCK.A = $251.55M
Total: $515,250,000
Did Teck already factor in the cost to Back-In OR Buyout CUU? Sure. But which one?
