Introduction

     This Amendment No. 4 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the “Final Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13E-3 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Fording Canadian Coal Trust, an unincorporated, open-ended mutual fund trust governed by a Declaration of Trust and the laws of Alberta, Canada (“Fording”), Fording (GP) ULC, an unlimited liability company organized under the Companies Act (Nova Scotia), and Teck Cominco Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Canada (“Teck”), on August 21, 2008 (the “Original 13E-3”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Original 13E-3 filed with the SEC on August 27, 2008, Amendment No. 2 to the Original 13E-3 filed with the SEC on September 10, 2008 and Amendment No. 3 to the Original 13E-3 filed with the SEC on September 30, 2008.

     This Final Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) to report the results of the Rule 13e-3 transaction. On September 30, 2008, the securityholders of Fording approved the Arrangement Agreement, dated July 29, 2008, as amended by an amending agreement dated September 6, 2008 between Fording and Teck and the related Plan of Arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) and the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta approved the Arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under Section 193 of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), as set forth in the Plan of Arrangement. Pursuant to the Arrangement, on October 30, 2008, Teck acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Fording, and Fording unitholders received 0.245 of a Teck Class B subordinate voting share and cash in the amount of US$82.00 (less any amounts withheld on account of taxes) for each unit.

     Upon completion of the Arrangement, Fording terminated and ceased to exist and Fording’s units will be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.
