Glencore ( (GB:GLEN) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Glencore has confirmed that it is in preliminary talks with mining rival Rio Tinto over a potential combination of some or all of their businesses, which could include an all-share merger structured as a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under which Rio Tinto would acquire Glencore. The company stressed there is no certainty that any transaction will be agreed, nor clarity yet on its possible terms or structure, though the UK Takeover Code imposes a deadline of 5 February 2026 for Rio Tinto to either announce a firm offer or walk away, focusing market attention on the coming weeks and triggering disclosure obligations for shareholders with significant positions in either group.
