This
Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 14D-9 amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation
Statement on Schedule 14D-9 originally filed by Inco on May 31, 2006 and amended on May 31, June 5,
June 6, June 7, June 12, June 13, June 14,
June 22 and June 23, 2006. Except as otherwise indicated, the information set forth in the original
Schedule 14D-9 and previous amendments thereto remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not

Item 3. Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements.
Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following after the second paragraph
of Arrangements Between Inco and its Directors and Senior Officers Executive Employment
Agreements in the Directors Circular:
On
June 21, 2006 Incos Board of Directors approved updated versions of the Executive
Employment Agreements and the agreements described in the preceding paragraph. Updates include
provisions required in light of changes in applicable law, clarifications to certain sections and
definitions and changes to reflect market practice (including provision that departing executives
will receive their severance payment in a lump sum). The Board also extended the Executive Employment Agreements to the three Management Committee members (Ronald C. Aelick, Mark Cutifani and Simon A. Fish) who were not party to the previous form of Executive Employment Agreement to provide the three Management Committee members with
the same contractual benefits the other four members of such
committee have. The agreements were entered into with the affected
executives on June 26, 2006.
The foregoing description of the changes to the forms of agreement is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the forms of updated agreements, which are
filed as Exhibits (e)(8)(9)
hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
