Equity Accounted Investments

The Company has a 33% ownership interest in four newbuilding 160,400-cubic meter LNG carriers (or the Angola LNG Carriers). The Angola LNG Carriers are chartered at fixed rates to the Angola LNG Project (see Note 16b). The Wah Kwong Joint Venture is a joint venture arrangement between Teekay Tankers and Wah Kwong whereby Teekay Tankers holds a 50% interest (see Note 16b). The RasGas 3 Joint Venture is a joint venture arrangement between Teekay LNG and QGTC 3 whereby Teekay LNG holds a 40% interest. The RasGas 3 Joint Venture owns four LNG carriers and related long-term fixed-rate time-charters to service the expansion of a LNG project in Qatar.

In February 2012, the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture acquired a 100% interest in the six LNG Carriers from Denmark-based A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S for approximately $1.3 billion. Teekay LNG and Marubeni Corporation (or Marubeni) have 52% and 48% economic interests, respectively, but share control of Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture. Since control of the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture is shared jointly between Marubeni and Teekay LNG, Teekay LNG accounts for its investment in the Teekay LNG-Marubeni Joint Venture using the equity method (see note 3b).

In November 2011, Teekay acquired a 40% interest in a recapitalized Sevan for approximately $25 million (see Note 3a). Sevan owns (i) two partially-completed hulls (#4 and #5) available for upgrade to FPSOs or other offshore projects; (ii) a licensing agreement with ENI SpA; (iii) an engineering and offshore project development business; and (iv) intellectual property rights, including offshore unit design patents. As at November 30, 2011, the fair value of the Company’s interest in Sevan was determined to be $37.1 million. The difference between the fair value of the Company’s 40% interest in Sevan and the price paid has been recognized as a bargain purchase gain in the Company’s consolidated statements of loss. As of December 31, 2012, the aggregate value of the Company’s 43% interest (40% interest —December 31, 2011) in Sevan, based on the quoted market price of Sevan’s common stock on the Oslo Stock Exchange was $83.1 million ($29.4 million – December 31, 2011).

In November 2010, Teekay LNG acquired a 50% interest in companies that own two LNG carriers (collectively, the Exmar Joint Venture) from Exmar NV for a total equity purchase price of approximately $72.5 million (net of assumed debt). Teekay LNG financed $37.3 million of the purchase price by issuing to Exmar NV approximately 1.1 million new common units with the balance financed by drawing on one of Teekay LNG’s revolving credit facilities. As part of the transaction, Teekay LNG agreed to guarantee its 50% share of the $206 million of debt secured by the Exmar Joint Venture. Exmar NV retains a 50% ownership interest in the Exmar Joint Venture. The two vessels acquired are the 2002-built Excalibur, a conventional LNG carrier, and the 2005-built Excelsior, a specialized gas carrier which can both transport and regasify LNG onboard. Both vessels are on long-term, fixed-rate charter contracts to Excelerate Energy LP for firm periods until 2022 and 2025, respectively.
