Patrick Harris, Mergermarket’s senior editor based in London, joins Dealcast host Julie-Anna Needham to discuss the complexities of the deal, including:
- Where the new Anglo Teck company could be domiciled and how that will be reconciled with each company’s strong national ties;
- How the Canadian government could push for more stipulations for the deal, like Canadian investment and job creation;
- Which other large mining strategics could be possible acquirers of the new entity from Rio Tinto to Glencore and how the merger itself may be a defensive move on Anglo American's part;
- Whether Anglo American's ongoing disposals could potentially impact the deal.
All this and more in this week’s Dealcast.
