The main objective of our director compensation program is to attract and retain directors with a broad range of relevant skills and knowledge and the ability to carry out the Board’s
mandate successfully. Directors are required to devote significant time and energy to the performance of their duties, including preparing for and attending Board and Committee meetings and ensuring that they stay informed about
our business and the global mining industry. The Board believes that we must offer a competitive compensation package in order to attract and retain directors who meet these expectations.

(1) |
Includes dividend equivalents credited as additional share units.
|
(2) |
Represents the aggregate value of share units (including dividend equivalents) on the vesting date of December 20, 2019, using the VWAP of the Class B subordinate voting shares on the TSX for the prior
20 consecutive trading days of $21.41.
|
(3) |
As RSUs granted to directors vest on the earlier of December 20 in the second calendar year immediately following the grant or the date the individual ceases to be a director, this table does not
include share-based retainers for 2019 that the directors have elected to take in the form of RSUs, as these have not yet vested.
|
(4) |
The amount represents the aggregate value of the share units as of the vesting date. As directors’ DSUs vest immediately, the fair market value for DSUs was as of the grant date.
|
(5) |
DSUs vest on the grant date but are not redeemable until the Director ceases to be a Director and is not otherwise employed by Teck. The actual value of the DSUs on the payout date is based on the
fair market value of the Class B subordinate voting shares on the payout date and cannot be determined until that time.

Governance Topic
|
Our Practice
|
|
The Board places emphasis on rigorous evaluation and believes that a balance between long tenure, familiarity with Teck’s business and long-term perspective on the industry, and fresh perspective is
essential for effective governance.
|
||
Read more about Board Renewal on page 34
|
||
Majority Voting
|
The Board has adopted a majority voting policy consistent with the TSX rules for uncontested director elections and uses individual voting for director elections.
In an uncontested election of directors, any nominee who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” than votes “for” will promptly tender a resignation to the Board, which will be considered by the
Governance Committee. Absent extraordinary circumstances, the Board will accept the resignation. The Board will announce its decision in a news release, which will be filed with the TSX and NYSE, within 90 days following the
meeting, including reasons for rejecting a resignation, if applicable. A director who tenders a resignation under this policy will not participate in any meeting of the Board or Governance Committee at which his or her resignation
is considered.
|
|
Diversity - Board
|
The Board has adopted a company-wide Inclusion and Diversity Policy, and a specific policy regarding Board and Executive Officer diversity.
|
|
If all nominees proposed to be elected as directors at the Meeting are elected:
|
||
•
|
3 of 12, or 25%, of directors will be women, including the Board Chair (30% of independent directors);
|
|
•
|
4 out of 12, or 33%, of directors will be visible minorities (40% of independent directors); and
|
|
•
|
No directors will be Aboriginal peoples or persons with disabilities.
|
|
When considering candidates for director, the Governance Committee and Board consider the level of representation on the Board of designated groups other than persons with disabilities, but no targets
have been set.
|
||
Diversity - Executives
|
Teck considers the level of representation of designated groups, being women, visible minorities, persons with disabilities, and Aboriginal peoples in executive officer positions but has not set any
targets. Two out of 14 members of senior management of Teck as defined in the CBCA are female (13%), including the Board Chair, and no members are visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples, or persons with disabilities.
Within Teck’s larger senior management team, an additional six of 23 members (26%) are women, one of 23 (4%) is a visible minority, and no members are Aboriginal peoples or persons with disabilities.
|
|
Read more about Diversity on page 36
|
||
Mandatory Shareholdings
|
We require non-executive directors to own shares or share units equivalent to not less than three times their annual cash retainer and share-based retainer.
Senior management are also required to maintain holdings of shares and/or share units equal to two times their annual salary, with the CEO required to hold five times his annual salary.
|
|
Read more about mandatory shareholdings for directors on page 20 and for executives on page 58
|
||
Board Evaluations
|
In 2019, the Board engaged KPMG to assist in conducting its annual evaluation. Each Board member completed a detailed questionnaire to provide quantitative and qualitative feedback on Board, Committee,
and individual performance in key areas. Following the completion of the surveys, KPMG conducted follow-up interviews with each Board member to gather in-depth feedback from individual directors. KPMG then compiled a comprehensive
report for the Board Chair and Chair of the Governance Committee and presented its findings to the full Board, including recommendations for improvement of board function and corporate governance practices. The Governance Committee
expects to repeat this process in 2020.
|
|
Following the KPMG presentation, the Governance Committee put in place an action plan to implement the recommendations and improve the Board’s operations and effectiveness. Work is ongoing in 2020 to
implement the recommendations, though immediate changes were made to implement certain items, including instituting a standing conflicts of interest item and holding in camera meetings of non-executive and independent directors at
each Board meeting.
|
||
In addition, in December 2019, representatives from Russell Reynolds Associates met with individual directors to get solicit their view on internal candidates as part of the Chair selection process.
|
Governance Topic
|
Our Practice
|
|
Shareholder Engagement
|
The Board has adopted a Shareholder Engagement Policy, which describes how shareholders can provide direct feedback to the Board.
|
|
Read more about Shareholder Engagement on page 39
|
||
Director Orientation
|
The Board has adopted a Director Orientation Program designed to:
|
|
•
|
provide each new director with a baseline of knowledge about Teck that will serve as a basis for informed decision-making;
|
|
•
|
tailor the program for each new director, taking into account his or her unique mix of skills, experience, education, knowledge and needs; and
|
|
•
|
deliver information over a period of time to minimize the likelihood of overload and maximize the lasting educational impact.
|
|
The orientation program consists of a combination of written materials, one-on-one meetings with Teck senior management, site visits, and other briefings and training as appropriate.
|
||
Continuing Education
|
The Board recognizes the importance of ongoing director education and the need for each director to take personal responsibility for this process. To facilitate ongoing education, Teck has a formal
program of continuing education in place, and, as part of that program Teck:
|
|
•
|
arranges presentations by internal and outside experts to the Board or committees on matters of particular import or emerging significance
|
|
•
|
provides briefings on matters of particular interest in advance of scheduled Board meetings
|
|
•
|
distributes written background materials on matters of relevance to Teck’s business
|
|
•
|
arranges tours of mine sites and other operations for groups of directors or committees of the Board, where directors have direct contact with operating management
|
|
•
|
identifies external opportunities for continuing education, such as industry conferences, which may be of interest to individual directors
|
|
Directors participate as discussion leaders and panelists on topical issues facing Teck and the industry at annual strategic planning meetings.
|
||
Read more about Director Education on page 38
|
||
Director Compensation
|
Director and officer compensation is established by the Board, as recommended by the Compensation Committee on the advice of independent consultants and with reference to market data, with a view to
establishing target compensation at the median of the Compensation Comparator Group.
|
|
We pay director compensation only to non-executive directors and do not issue options to directors. With one exception, our directors take a substantial proportion of their fees in a share-based
retainer, with most of our directors opting to take all of their fees in DSUs. Until the mandatory minimum shareholding is reached, non-exempt new directors must take all of their compensation in the form of DSUs, other than travel
fees and reimbursement for out-of-pocket costs.
|
||
Read more about Director Compensation beginning on page 16
|
||
Board Interlocks
|
The Board has not set a formal limit on the number of directors who may serve on the same board of another company, however, we do assess Board interlocks in nominating individuals to serve on the Board
and disclose interlocks when they occur. There are currently no interlocking directorships.
|
|
Over-boarding Policy
|
The Board believes that directors must have sufficient time available to properly prepare for and attend Board meetings in order to make a full contribution to the Board.
|
|
Directors are expected to attend all meetings of the Board and Board committees on which they serve, to come fully prepared, and to remain in attendance for the duration of the meetings.
|
||
The Board considers an individual to be over-boarded (and generally not eligible for nomination as a Teck director) where:
|
||
•
|
the individual sits on more than three public company boards in addition to Teck, if the individual is not otherwise employed
|
|
•
|
the individual sits on more than one public company board in addition to Teck, where that person is employed full time
|
|
The Governance Committee may make exceptions if satisfied that a nominee will be able to devote sufficient time and attention to Board matters despite outside commitments.
|
||
Once on Teck’s Board, directors must consult with the Chair prior to accepting additional positions.
|
• |

|
• |
Mr. Keevil, who is related to Teck’s former CEO and Chairman

|
|
• |
only three directors out of 12 nominated for election at the Meeting have any interest in or relationship with any of the major Class A shareholders and none of the remaining directors hold any Class A shares;
|
|
• |

major Class A shareholders
|
|
• |
directors are required to maintain minimum holdings of Class B subordinate voting shares or share units linked to the price of Class B subordinate voting shares;
|
|
• |
equity-linked compensation for directors and officers is tied to the Class B subordinate voting share price
|
|
• |
we publicly report shareholder voting results in detail, including by class; and
|
|
• |
only one director, the CEO, is a member of management.

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation ("Say on Pay")
|
Page 1
|
|
•
|
We give shareholders the opportunity to provide their views on Teck’s executive compensation program through a formal advisory resolution.
|
|
Compensation Philosophy
|
Page 44
|
|
•
|
We target the market median of our compensation peer group to set executive compensation target levels, with the ability to earn compensation above median levels for strong performance.
|
|
Compensation Mix
|
Page 46
|
|
•
|
81% of the CEO’s and approximately 75% of the other NEO’s total direct compensation is variable contingent on performance. Teck’s compensation mix is slightly more heavily weighted toward long term
incentives than our peer companies.
|
|
Clawback Policy
|
Page 50
|
|
•
|
We have a policy which calls for the clawback of incentive compensation in appropriate circumstances.
|
|
Share Ownership Guidelines
|
Page 58
|
|
•
|
We have share ownership guidelines for senior management, which encourage executives to build and maintain equity ownership throughout their tenure and further align the executive compensation
program with the interests of long-term shareholders.
|
|
Anti-Hedging Policy
|
Page 31
|
|
•
|
Insiders and employees are prohibited from short-selling Teck securities and from buying or selling other instruments to hedge their share, unit and option holdings.
|
|
Performance Based Equity
|
Page 56
|
|
•
|
Since 2014, the NEOs have received performance based equity compensation and in 2017, we stopped issuing time-vesting share units to NEOs altogether
|
|
Disciplined Bonus Plan
|
Page 51
|
|
•
|
We adjust bonus plan payments to remove the effect of fluctuating commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, to ensure that our incentives reward underlying business performance.
|
• |
annual revenue of $11.9 billion and annual EBITDA of $1.4 billion;
|
• |
in June, we closed the transaction through which SMM and Sumitomo Corporation subscribed for a 30% indirect interest in the subsidiary that owns the QB2 project by contributing US$1.2 billion to the project, with
additional payments contingent on further development;
|
• |
in November, we closed the $2.5 billion QB2 project financing; and
|
• |
we distributed $111 million in dividends to shareholders and our Board directed management to apply an additional $600 million to the repurchase of Class B subordinate voting
shares.
|
• |
strong alignment with shareholders through an emphasis on equity-linked long-term incentives
|
• |
an annual incentive program that adjusts, on a consistent formula basis, for changes in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates in order to more closely track management’s actual performance during the year.
|
• |
performance-linked share units that pay out from 0-200% of target depending on performance measured against two metrics – relative total shareholder return and EBITDA growth relative to changes in the prices of
commodities we produce.
|
• |
Realizable values for the CEO are calculated based on the
in-the-money value of options and the notional value of unvested share unit awards as of December 31, 2019, assuming full vesting, a PSU performance factor of 100%, and based on the closing price for Class B Shares
on the TSX as at December 31, 2019 of $22.52. The actual payout amount for PSUs and PDSUs cannot be determined until the actual payout dates. See page 62 for details on the payout value of share units. Actual payout
values have been used for units that have already been paid out.
|
• |
Realizable values for shareholders are calculated based on the closing price for Class B Shares on the TSX as at December 31, 2019 of $22.52 and do not include the value of any dividends paid during these periods.
|
• |
corporate performance based on:
|
• |
actual financial performance measured relative to business plan and adjusted by a consistent and symmetrical formula to reflect commodity price and foreign exchange movement;
|
• |
the Committee’s assessment of the achievement of critical milestones and Teck’s performance viewed holistically; and
|
• |
Teck’s safety performance based on lead and lag safety indicators, subject to potential downward adjustment in certain circumstances;
|
• |
business unit performance based on production, cost, and sustainability, measured against specific targets, and other qualitative considerations for staff groups; and
|
• |
individual performance against objectives established at the start of the year

Compensation Component
|
Description
|
Link to Corporate Objectives
|
|||||
Base Salary
|
Base salary is determined through an analysis of salaries paid by companies in the Compensation Comparator Group as well as individual performance, experience in the role and scope of the role. The
quantum of the base salary is meant to reflect the capability of the individual as demonstrated over an extended period of time.
|
Appropriately set base salaries enable Teck to attract and retain highly skilled and talented executives. Our base salary plan recognizes, through higher annual salary adjustments, those employees
who consistently exceed expectations.
|
|||||
Annual Incentive Bonus
|
The Annual Incentive Bonus for NEOs and other management, technical, commercial and administrative staff focuses on specific objectives in three performance areas:
|
•
|
Key financial metric of corporate performance is performance relevant to budget;
|
||||
•
|
corporate performance measured by:
|
•
|
actual year-end results are compared to budgeted results;
|
||||
•
|
corporate financial performance based on adjusted performance relative to budget (see “Annual Incentive Program”, below), adjusted to reflect other qualitative considerations; and
|
•
|
targets are adjusted to account for changes in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates;
|
||||
•
|
modified by safety performance based on lead and lag indicators, subject to potential downward adjustment in certain circumstances;
|
•
|
safety is a key modifier of corporate performance, tracked through lag and lead indicators.
|
||||
•
|
business unit performance based on production, cost, sustainability and other qualitative considerations for staff groups; and
|
•
|
Sustainability is a key metric of business unit performance.
|
||||
•
|
individual performance.
|
•
|
Other key metrics at the business unit level recognize matters that are within management's control.
|
||||
•
|
The individual component recognizes individual contributions to Teck reflected by achievement of specific personal annual objectives.
|
||||||
•
|
Results are adjusted based on a qualitative review designed to consider the quality and sustainability of the financial results.
|
• |
the compensation program is balanced between fixed and variable pay and between short-term and long-term incentives;
|
• |
a mix of performance measures used at various organizational levels provides a balanced performance focus (e.g., financial, safety and environmental performance);
|
• |
the annual incentive program payouts are capped at 2x target;
|
• |
stock options and performance share units are granted annually with overlapping vesting periods to ensure that management remain exposed to the long-term risks of their decisions through their unvested equity:
|
|
• |
stock options vest over three years and have a ten-year term;
|
|
• |
PSUs vest at the end of three years to enhance retention;
|
|
• |
value from DSUs and PDSUs cannot be accessed until after the participant’s employment ends, providing long-term alignment with the risks inherent in Teck’s business; and
|
|
• |
pay-out value of PSUs and PDSUs is tied to Teck's TSR performance relative to the Performance Comparator Group and changes in EBITDA relative to changes in commodity prices, aligning executive compensation with
shareholder return;
|
• |
the CEO and other NEOs are subject to share ownership guidelines; and
|
• |
clawback and anti-hedging policies are in place.
|
• |
there is a material restatement of Teck’s financial results;
|
• |
an officer engaged in gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud that caused or partially caused the need for the restatement; and
|
• |
the relevant compensation award would have been lower had the financial results been properly reported.
|
• |
fugitive dust management;
|
• |
blast management;
|
• |
water quality; and
|
• |
lead impacts.
|
• |
improvements in performance related to high potential incidents and long term disabling incident frequency;
|
• |
implementation of the Teck hazard identification training program;
|
• |
improvement in Teck aggregate results in the 2019 Safety Culture Survey as compared to the 2016 survey; and
|
• |
operations achieving “on track” status for their Exposure Reduction Plans.

Share units in the form of PSUs or PDSUs are granted on an annual basis under Teck’s share unit plans. See Schedule B for plan details. The fair value for option-based awards is consistent with the
accounting fair value under IFRS. The fair values for the 2017, 2018, and 2019 grants are $27.78, $37.81, and $28.60 respectively, which was the closing price of the Class B subordinate
voting shares on the day prior to the applicable grant date. Share based awards are valued based on the 20 day VWAP of Class B subordinate voting shares. The fair value was $31.64 for 2017, $35.97 for 2018 and $30.38 for
2019.
|
(2) |
For compensation purposes, the fair value of options on the grant date is determined applying the Black-Scholes option valuation model using Mercer’s assumptions, since this method is applied
consistently in Mercer’s competitive market analysis. This differs from our accounting fair value due to differences in the underlying assumptions as summarized in the following table:

In 2016, Mr. Lindsay elected to further invest in Teck by receiving his 2015 annual incentive cash bonus in DSUs, which are not reflected in the above table and are not considered long-term equity
compensation as they were effectively purchased by Mr. Lindsay on the basis of the then-current market price of the Class B subordinate voting shares, rather than being received as part of his long term equity compensation
package.
|
(2) |
Values are calculated as the in-the-money value of options and the notional value of share units, assuming full vesting in each case, based on the closing price for Class B subordinate voting shares
on the TSX as at December 29, 2019 of $22.52. For share units that have been paid out, actual payout values have been used. The value of unvested PSUs and PDSUs has been calculated assuming a performance factor of 100%,
however the actual payout amount of these awards will not be known until the applicable payout dates. See Schedule B for details of our share unit plans.
|
(3) |
Includes actual base salary and bonus, pension, other compensation, and grant date fair value of long term incentive compensation.
|
(4) |
Includes the grant date value of DSUs that Mr. Lindsay elected to receive in lieu of cash for his 2015 annual incentive bonus as described in Note 1.
|
(a) |
the entire in-the-money value as at December 31, 2018 of all LTI grants awarded from 2016 to 2018 have been included, without regard to vesting schedules;
|
(b) |
multipliers for performance-based grants were evaluated based on performance from the beginning of the relevant performance period to December 31, 2018, provided that where disclosed, actual
performance multipliers for Compensation Comparator Group companies were used; and
|
(c) |
dividends are assumed to be reinvested at relevant dividend payment dates.
