TORONTO (Reuters) - Glencore (LON:GLEN) Plc Chief Executive Gary Nagle plans to meet with some of Teck Resources (TSX:TECKa) Ltd's Canadian shareholders in Toronto this Thursday to personally lobby them for support of Glencore's proposed takeover of the copper and zinc miner, according to a source who was invited. Royal Bank of Canada (TSX:RY)'s RBC Capital Markets will host the Toronto lunch meeting, according to Jonathan Case of CI Global Asset Management, a Teck shareholder who was invited. RBC has been one of Glencore's bankers in the past.
Teck's executives on Monday reinforced their rejection of Glencore's unsolicited $22.5 billion takeover offer.
Glencore declined to comment. Teck could not immediately be reached for comment.
