April 10 (Reuters) - Canada's Teck Resources (TECKb.TO) on Monday reinforced its rejection of an unsolicited $22.5 billion bid from Glencore (GLEN.L), calling it "an illusion" and telling shareholders that its proposed restructuring is the only option on the table.
"A vote against the separation is a vote to maintain the status quo at Teck, and there is no path that includes Glencore acquiring Teck," Price said.
Analysts had last week seen room for an higher offer from Glencore to sway Teck shareholders in its favour.
"This is not just about price," Price said on Monday.
Price also said that Teck is open to partnering with Glencore and other companies on "the creation of ...joint venture to unlock regional synergies."
