LONDON: Anglo American Plc says it’s agreed to sell its steelmaking coal business to Peabody Energy Corp for a fee that could rise to as much as US$3.78bil, as the miner’s restructuring gathers pace.

Anglo is looking to dramatically simplify, and shrink, its business in a move that was announced during a successful rebuttal of a US$49bil approach from BHP Group earlier this year.
