SYDNEY--Rio Tinto PLC said it has entered a binding agreement
with Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. to acquire the remaining shares
in the Mongolia-focused copper miner that it doesn't already
own.
Rio Tinto said Turquoise Hill's independent directors had
unanimously recommended its cash offer of 43.00 Canadian dollars
(US$32.72) per share for all outstanding shares. It previously
offered C$40.00 per share.
Turquoise Hill, which is 51%-owned by Rio Tinto, has a 66%
interest in the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine in Mongolia.
Rio Tinto expects Turquoise Hill shareholders to vote on the
offer in the December quarter and to close the transaction shortly
after.
