There are being registered hereunder such indeterminate number of shares of common stock to be sold by the registrant which shall have an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $65,000,000. The proposed maximum offering price per share will be determined, from time to time, by the registrant in connection with the issuance by the registrant of the shares registered hereunder.

(2)

Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act, the registrant is carrying forward to this registration statement (i) $52,500,000 in aggregate offering price of unsold securities that were previously registered on the registrant’s Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-221806), which was filed on November 29, 2017 and amended by Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-3 on December 22, 2017 and Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form F-3 on January 11, 2018, and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2018, and (ii) $10,500,000 in aggregate offering price of unsold securities that were previously registered on the registrant’s Registration Statement on Form F-3MEF (File No. 333-231003), which was filed and effective on April 24, 2019 in accordance with Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Prior Registration Statements”), and the $7,810 of registration fees that were previously paid in connection with those unsold securities pursuant to Rule 457(o). Accordingly, the amount of the fee for registering the offer and sale of securities under this registration statement has been calculated based on the proposed maximum offering price of the additional $2,000,000 of securities being registered pursuant to this registration statement. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the registrant may continue to offer and sell the unsold securities during the grace period afforded by Rule 415(a)(5). If the registrant sells any unsold securities during the grace period, the registrant will identify in a pre-effective amendment to this registration statement the new amount of unsold securities to be carried forward to this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 415(a)(6) and any filing fee paid in connection with such unsold securities and the amount of any new securities to be registered. Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6), the offering of the unsold securities registered under the Prior Registration Statements described herein will be deemed terminated as of the effective date of this Registration Statement.

The registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or until the Registration Statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

PROSPECTUS

 

LOGO

Teekay Corporation

Common Stock

Having an Aggregate Offering Price of up to $65,000,000

 

 

We have entered into an equity distribution agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., or the “Agent,” relating to the shares of common stock of Teekay Corporation offered by this prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the equity distribution agreement, we may offer and sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $65,000,000 from time to time through the Agent, as our sales agent, or directly to the Agent acting as principal. This new equity distribution agreement replaces our prior equity distribution agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. entered into on April 24, 2019, which had provided for a $63,000,000 at-the-market offering program that was never utilized and was scheduled to expire in January 2021.

Sales of common stock, if any, made by the Agent, as our sales agent, as contemplated by this prospectus, may be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange at market prices, in block transactions, or as otherwise agreed between us and the Agent. We will pay the Agent a commission of up to 2.0% of the gross sales price per share of common stock sold through the Agent, as our sales agent, under the equity distribution agreement.

Under the terms of the equity distribution agreement, we also may sell shares of common stock to the Agent as principal at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares of common stock to the Agent as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with the Agent, and we will describe the public offering price, underwriting discount (which may exceed 2.0% of the public offering price) and other terms of the offering of those shares of common stock in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.

The Agent is not required to sell any specific number of shares or dollar amount of our common stock but will use its reasonable efforts, as our sales agent, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of the equity distribution agreement, to sell the common stock offered on terms agreed by the Agent and us. The offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to the equity distribution agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of all of the common stock subject to the equity distribution agreement and (2) the termination of the equity distribution agreement by either the Agent or us.

Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (or NYSE) under the symbol “TK.” The last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE on December 28, 2020 was $2.33 per share.

 

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 1 and each of the factors described under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of this prospectus before you make an investment in our common stock.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form F-3 that we have filed with the SEC. Under the registration statement, we may sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $65,000,000 from time to time pursuant to an equity distribution agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. This prospectus provides you with a general description of our common stock and the terms of the offering.

You should read carefully this prospectus, any prospectus supplement, and the additional information described below under the headings “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Documents by Reference.”

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus are forward-looking statements. In addition, we and our representatives may from time to time make other oral or written statements that are also forward-looking statements. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our future or anticipated operations, cash flows, financial position, plans, strategies, business prospects, changes and trends in our business, and the markets in which we operate. In some cases, you can identify the forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “forecast,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “propose,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

These and other forward-looking statements reflect management’s current plans, expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events affecting us. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, those factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” set forth in this prospectus and those factors discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and other reports we file with or furnish to the SEC and that are incorporated into this prospectus by reference.

We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations or events or circumstances that may arise after the date on which such statement is made. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of these factors. In addition, we cannot assess the effect of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Forward-looking statements in this prospectus or incorporated by reference herein include, among others, statements about: the timing and amount of sales of our common stock pursuant to the equity distribution agreement, and the expected use of any sales proceeds; and our expectations regarding tax liabilities and classifications.

You should carefully read this entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Unless otherwise indicated, references in this prospectus to “Teekay Corporation,” “Teekay,” “we,” “us” and “our” and similar terms refer to Teekay Corporation and/or its subsidiaries, except that those terms, when used in this prospectus in connection with the common stock described herein, shall mean specifically Teekay Corporation. References in this prospectus to (a) “Teekay LNG” refer to Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (NYSE: TGP), a subsidiary of Teekay Corporation, (b) “Teekay Tankers” refer to Teekay Tankers Ltd. (NYSE: TNK), a subsidiary of Teekay Corporation, and (c) “Teekay Parent” refer to Teekay Corporation and its remaining subsidiaries. In this prospectus, we refer to Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers as the “Daughter Entities,” and references to the “Teekay group” include Teekay Parent and the Daughter Entities.

Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this prospectus to “dollars” and “$” are to, and amounts are presented in, U.S. Dollars. Teekay Corporation prepares its financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP). References to “independent” fleet owners or operators mean companies other than private or state-controlled entities that operate their own fleets. Unless otherwise indicated, we include as long-term contracts those with an initial term of at least three years.

Overview

Teekay Corporation is an operational leader, project developer and portfolio manager in the oil and gas marine transportation space. We primarily provide oil and gas transportation services to the world’s leading oil and gas companies. We generate a significant portion of revenue from long-term, fixed-rate contracts with a diverse base of energy and utility companies. Over the past 20 years, we have undergone a major transformation from being primarily an owner of ships in the cyclical spot tanker business to being an asset manager in the oil and gas marine transportation sector. This transformation has included our expansion into the liquefied natural gas (or LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (or LPG) shipping sectors through Teekay LNG, and the continuation of our conventional tanker business through Teekay Tankers. Our ownership of Teekay Tankers was 28.6% as of December 1, 2020. We maintain voting control of Teekay Tankers through our ownership of shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock and continue to consolidate this subsidiary. Our ownership of Teekay LNG was 42.4% (including our 1.76% general partner interest) as of December 1, 2020. We maintain control of Teekay LNG by virtue of our control of the general partner and continue to consolidate this subsidiary.

The combined Teekay entities operate total assets under management of approximately $9 billion, comprised of approximately 140 vessels, a majority of which are liquefied gas and conventional tanker vessels (excluding vessels managed for third parties). With offices in 10 countries and approximately 5,500 seagoing and shore-based employees, Teekay provides a comprehensive set of marine transportation services to the world’s leading oil and gas companies. We are one of the world’s largest independent owners and operators of LNG carriers and one of the world’s largest owners and operators of mid-sized crude tankers.

Risk Factors Summary

Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties of which you should be aware before making a decision to invest in our common stock. These risks are more fully described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our latest Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

 

   

Changes in the oil and natural gas markets could result in decreased demand for our vessels and services. A decline in natural gas or oil prices may adversely affect our growth prospects and results of operations.

 

   

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is dynamic and expanding. The continuation of this outbreak likely will have, and the emergence of other epidemic or pandemic crises could have, material adverse effects on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

 

   

Adverse economic conditions, including disruptions in the global credit markets, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

   

Adverse economic conditions or other developments may affect our customers’ ability to charter our vessels and pay for our services and may adversely affect our business and results of operations.



 

2


Table of Contents
   

Current market conditions limit our access to capital and our growth.

 

   

Exposure to interest rate fluctuations will result in fluctuations in our cash flows and operating results and subject us to risks related to the phasing out of LIBOR.

 

   

Our ability to repay or refinance debt obligations and to fund capital expenditures will depend on certain financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We will need to obtain additional financing, which financing may limit our ability to make cash dividends and distributions, increase our financial leverage and result in dilution to our equityholders.

 

   

We have substantial debt levels and may incur additional debt. Financing agreements containing operating and financial restrictions may restrict our business and financing activities.

 

   

Our cash flow depends substantially on the ability of our subsidiaries, primarily our Daughter Entities, to make distributions to us.

 

   

The cyclical nature of the tanker industry may lead to volatile changes in charter rates and significant fluctuations in the utilization of our vessels, which may adversely affect our earnings and profitability.

 

   

Reduction in oil produced from offshore oil fields may adversely affect the results of operations from our floating production, storage and off-loading (or FPSO) unit.

 

   

The redeployment risk of FPSO units is high given their lack of alternative uses and significant costs.

 

   

The costs associated with the asset retirement obligations relating to our FPSO units, and the decommissioning, recycling, or redeploying of our FPSO units after their contracts expire, may exceed our estimates.

 

   

Charter rates for conventional oil and product tankers may fluctuate substantially over time and may be lower when we are attempting to re-charter these vessels, which could adversely affect our operating results. Any changes in charter rates for LNG carriers, LPG carriers, or FPSO units could also adversely affect redeployment opportunities for those vessels.

 

   

Over time, the value of our vessels may decline, which could adversely affect our operating results. Declining market values of our vessels could adversely affect our liquidity and result in breaches of our financing agreements.

 

   

Our future performance and ability to secure future employment for our vessels depends on continued growth (including any continued growth) in LNG production, demand and supply for LNG and LPG, and associated demand and supply for LNG and LPG shipping.

 

   

The intense competition in our markets may lead to reduced profitability or reduced expansion opportunities.

 

   

We no longer control Altera Infrastructure L.P. (formerly Teekay Offshore Partners L.P.), which may engage in competition with us.

 

   

The loss of any key customer or its inability to pay for our services could result in a significant loss of revenue in a given period.

 

   

Our operations are subject to substantial environmental and other regulations, which may significantly increase our expenses. Climate change and greenhouse gas restrictions may adversely impact our operations and markets.

 

   

We may be unable to make or realize expected benefits from acquisitions and implementing our long-term strategy of growth through acquisitions may harm our financial condition and performance.

 

   

Our insurance may not be sufficient to cover losses that may occur to our property or as a result of our operations.

 

   

Past port calls by our vessels, or third-party vessels from which we derived revenue sharing agreement revenues, to countries that are subject to sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union may impact investors’ decisions to invest in our securities.

 

   

Marine transportation and oil production are inherently risky, and an incident involving loss or damage to a vessel, significant loss of product or environmental contamination by any of our vessels could harm our reputation and business.

 

   

Our operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations.

 

   

We and the Daughter Entities may expend substantial sums during the construction of future new buildings or upgrades to our or their existing vessels, including upgrades to our FPSO unit, without earning revenue and without assurance that they will be completed.

 

   

Actual results of new technologies or technologies upgrades may differ from expected results and affect our results of operations.

 

   

We may make substantial capital expenditures to expand the size of our fleet and generally are required to make significant installment payments for acquisitions of newbuilding vessels. Depending on whether we finance our expenditures through cash from operations or by incurring debt or issuing equity securities, our financial leverage could increase, or our shareholders could be diluted.

Table of Contents
   

Exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations results in fluctuations in our cash flows and operating results.

 

   

Teekay LNG may have more difficulty entering into long-term, fixed-rate LNG time-charters if the active short-term, medium-term or spot LNG shipping markets continue to develop.

 

   

Many of our seafaring employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements and the failure to renew those agreements or any future labor agreements may disrupt operations and adversely affect our cash flows.

 

   

We and certain of our joint venture partners may be unable to attract and retain qualified, skilled employees or crew necessary to operate our business.

 

   

Terrorist attacks, increased hostilities, political change or war could lead to further economic instability, increased costs and disruption of business. Acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels continue to be a risk, which could adversely affect our business.

 

   

Our and many of our customers’ substantial operations outside the United States expose us to political, governmental and economic instability, which could harm our operations.

 

   

A cyber-attack could materially disrupt our business.

 

   

Our failure to comply with data privacy laws could damage our customer relationships and expose us to litigation risks and potential fines.

 

   

Sanctions against key participants in the Yamal LNG Project could impede performance of the Yamal LNG Project, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

   

Failure of the Yamal LNG Project to achieve expected results could lead to a default under the time-charter contracts by the charter party.

 

   

Maritime claimants could arrest, or port authorities could detain, our vessels, which could interrupt our cash flow.

 

   

Teekay LNG or its joint venture partners may be unable to operate an LNG receiving and regasification terminal and may be exposed from time to time to conditions, developments, or requirements that may adversely affect Teekay LNG or its joint venture.

 

   

Because we are organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands, it may be difficult to serve us with legal process or enforce judgments against us, our directors or our management.

 

   

As a Marshall Islands corporation with our headquarters in Bermuda, and with a majority of our subsidiaries being Marshall Islands entities and also having subsidiaries in other offshore jurisdictions, our operations may be subject to economic substance requirements, which could harm our business.

 

   

Our joint venture arrangements impose obligations upon us but limit our control of the joint ventures, which may affect our ability to achieve our joint venture objectives. We depend on certain joint venture partners to assist us in operating our businesses and competing in our markets.

 

   

We may experience operational problems with vessels that reduce revenue and increase costs.

 

   

Teekay Tankers’ U.S. Gulf lightering business competes with alternative methods of delivering crude oil to ports, which may limit its earnings in this area of its operations.

 

   

Teekay Tankers’ full service lightering operations are subject to specific risks that could lead to accidents, oil spills or property damage.

 

   

Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act and other similar legislation in other jurisdictions could result in fines, criminal penalties, contract terminations and an adverse effect on our business.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves risk. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all the information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the risks discussed in our latest Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this prospectus. For more information, please read “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Documents by Reference” in this prospectus. In addition, you should read “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this prospectus for a more complete discussion of expected material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of our common stock.

If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face.

Additional risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified may also materially harm our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, you could lose all or part of your investment and our ability to pay dividends on shares of our common stock may be reduced or restricted.

U.S. tax authorities could treat us as a “passive foreign investment company,” which could have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. shareholders.

A non-U.S. entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company” (or PFIC) for such purposes in any taxable year in which, after taking into account the income and assets of the corporation and, pursuant to a “look-through” rule, any other corporation or partnership in which the corporation directly or indirectly owns at least 25% of the stock or equity interests (by value), either (i) at least 75% of its gross income consists of “passive income,” or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of the entity’s assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of “passive income.” For purposes of these tests, “passive income” includes dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties other than rents and royalties that are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business. By contrast, income derived from the performance of services does not constitute “passive income.”

There are legal uncertainties involved in determining whether the income derived from our and our look-through subsidiaries’ time-chartering activities constitutes rental income or income derived from the performance of services, including the decision in Tidewater Inc. v. United States, 565 F.3d 299 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that income derived from certain time-chartering activities should be treated as rental income rather than services income for purposes of a foreign sales corporation provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or the Code). However, the Internal Revenue Service (or the IRS) stated in an Action on Decision (AOD 2010-01) that it disagrees with, and will not acquiesce to, the way that the rental versus services framework was applied to the facts in the Tidewater decision, and in its discussion stated that the time charters at issue in Tidewater would be treated as producing services income for PFIC purposes. The IRS’s statement with respect to Tidewater cannot be relied upon or otherwise cited as precedent by taxpayers. Consequently, in the absence of any binding legal authority specifically relating to the statutory provisions governing PFICs, there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court would not follow the Tidewater decision in interpreting the PFIC provisions of the Code. Nevertheless, based on our and our look-through subsidiaries’ current assets and operations, we intend to take the position that we are not now and have never been a PFIC, and our counsel, Perkins Coie LLP, is of the opinion that it is more likely than not we are not a PFIC based on representations we have made to them regarding the composition of our and our look-through subsidiaries’ assets, source of income and nature of activities and operations. No assurance can be given, however, that the opinion of Perkins Coie LLP would be sustained by a court if contested by the IRS, or that we would not constitute a PFIC for any future taxable year if there were to be changes in our and our look-through subsidiaries’ assets, income or operations.

If the IRS were to determine that we are or have been a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder (as defined below under “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”) held common stock, such U.S. Holder would face adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. For a more comprehensive discussion regarding our status as a PFIC and the tax consequences to U.S. Holders if we are treated as a PFIC, please read “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — United States Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Consequences of Possible PFIC Classification.”

We are subject to taxes, which reduces our cash flow.

We are subject to tax in certain jurisdictions in which we or our subsidiaries are organized, own assets or have operations, which reduces our cash flow. In computing our tax obligations in these jurisdictions, we are required to take various tax accounting and reporting positions, including in certain cases estimates, on matters that are not entirely free from doubt and for which we have not received rulings from the governing authorities. We cannot assure you that upon review of these positions, the applicable authorities will agree with our positions.

A successful challenge by a tax authority could result in additional tax imposed on us or our subsidiaries, further reducing our cash flow. We have established reserves in our financial statements that we believe are adequate to cover our liability for any such additional taxes. We cannot assure you, however, that such reserves will be sufficient to cover any additional tax liability that may be imposed on our subsidiaries. In addition, changes in our operations or ownership could result in additional tax being imposed on us or on our subsidiaries in jurisdictions in which operations are conducted. For example, changes in the ownership of our stock may cause us to be unable to claim an exemption from U.S. federal income tax under Section 883 of the Code. If we were not exempt from tax under Section 883 of the Code, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income we earn from voyages into or out of the United States, the amount of which is not within our complete control. In addition, we rely on an exemption to be deemed non-resident in Canada for Canadian tax purposes under subsection 250(6) of the Canada Income Tax Act for (i) corporations whose principal business is international shipping and that derive all or substantially all of their revenue from international shipping, and (ii) corporations that are holding companies that have over half of the cost base of their investments in eligible international shipping subsidiaries and receive substantially all of their revenue as dividends from those eligible international shipping subsidiaries exempt under subsection 250(6). If we were to cease to qualify for the subsection 250(6) exemption, we could be subject to Canadian income tax and also Canadian withholding tax on outbound distributions, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results. In addition, to the extent Teekay Corporation were to distribute dividends as a corporation determined to be resident in Canada, shareholders who are not resident in Canada for purposes of the Canada Income Tax Act would generally be subject to Canadian withholding tax in respect of such dividends paid by Teekay Corporation.

Typically, most of our and our subsidiaries time-charter and spot-voyage charter contracts require the charterer to reimburse us for a certain period of time in respect of taxes incurred as a consequence of the voyage activities of our vessels, while performing under the relevant charter. However, our rights to reimbursement under charter contracts may not survive for as long as the applicable statutes of limitations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. As such, we may not be able to obtain reimbursement from our charterers where any applicable taxes that are not paid before the contractual claim period has expired.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering of shares of our common stock, if any, after deducting the Agent’s commission and our offering expenses, for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, repaying a portion of our outstanding indebtedness.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

We may issue common stock or one or more distinct series of preferred stock from time to time. This section summarizes the material terms of our common stock and material terms that would be common to all series of our preferred stock. The following description of our common stock, preferred stock and provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (or Articles), and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (or Bylaws), are summaries and are qualified by reference to our Articles and our Bylaws. A copy of our Articles is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is incorporated by reference herein. A copy of our Bylaws is filed as an exhibit to our Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on May 27, 2020, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 725 million shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share and 25 million shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $1 per share. As of December 29, 2020, there were 101,108,886 shares of our common stock outstanding and no preferred shares outstanding.

Exchange Listing.

Shares of our common stock are listed on the NYSE, where they trade under the symbol “TK.”

Transfer Agent and Registrar.

Computershare Inc. serves as registrar and transfer agent for our common stock.

Common Stock

Each outstanding share of our common stock entitles its holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of our preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably (based on number of shares held and participating in dividends, which could include one or more series of preferred shares) any dividends declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Holders of our common stock generally do not have conversion, redemption or preemptive rights to subscribe for any of our securities. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of preferred stock that we may issue.

Preferred Stock

Our Board of Directors may from time to time, and without further action by our shareholders, direct the issuance of shares of preferred stock in one or more series and may, at the time of issuance, determine the rights, preference and limitations of each such series. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of common stock. Holders of shares of our preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Teekay Corporation before any payment is made to the holders of shares of our common stock. The voting, dividend, liquidation, redemption, conversion or other rights of any preferred stock we may issue could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of our common stock and may have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock. Under certain circumstances, the issuance of shares of our preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities or the removal of incumbent management.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Preferred Stock Authorization.

As noted above, our Board of Directors, without shareholder approval, has the authority under our Articles to issue preferred stock with rights superior to the rights of the holders of common stock. As a result, preferred stock could be issued quickly and easily, could adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock and could be issued with terms calculated or which have a tendency to delay or prevent a change of control of Teekay Corporation or make removal of management more difficult.

Table of Contents

Shareholder Meetings, Quorum, Voting and Consents.

Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to business brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of our Board of Directors. Under our Bylaws, unless otherwise prescribed by law, special meetings of the shareholders may be called only by our Board of Directors. The Company’s Bylaws provide that no business other than that stated in the notice of meeting may be transacted at any special meeting. Our Articles provide that a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders, unless (a) the matter has been submitted to the shareholders at any meeting and recommended by a majority of our Continuing Directors (as defined in our Articles) or (b) the meeting is an election of directors, and all nominees for election as directors are recommended by a majority of Continuing Directors, in which case one-third of the shares entitled to vote on the matter shall constitute a quorum. In addition, under Marshall Islands law, unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise (which ours do not), shareholder actions taken without a shareholder meeting or a vote must be taken by unanimous written consent of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof. These provisions may have the effect of delaying or preventing consideration of certain shareholder proposals until the next annual meeting, if at all, unless a special meeting is called by our Board of Directors.

Election of Directors.

Our Bylaws provide for a “staggered board,” with our Board of Directors divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, and the directors in each class serving three-year terms and one class being elected each year by our shareholders. Vacancies on the Board of Directors are filled by our Board of Directors. Because this system of electing directors and filling vacancies generally makes it more difficult for shareholders to replace a majority of the Board of Directors, it may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to gain control of us.

Other Matters

Sales of Assets, Mergers and Dissolution.

Under the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act, the sale of all or substantially all of Teekay Corporation’s assets not made in the usual or regular course of Teekay Corporation’s business or the non-judicial dissolution and liquidation of Teekay Corporation is required to be approved by the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote on such matter or by a unanimous written consent of all holders of capital stock entitled to vote on the matter. In addition, the holders of one-half of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote may institute judicial dissolution proceedings in specified circumstances in accordance with the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act. In the event of the dissolution of Teekay Corporation, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share pro rata (based on the total number of shares held and participating in distributions upon liquidation, which could include one or more series of preferred shares) in our net assets available for distribution, after payment to all creditors and the liquidation preferences of any of our outstanding preferred stock.

Under the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act, a merger or consolidation involving Teekay Corporation (other than with subsidiaries at least 90% of whose shares are owned by Teekay Corporation) is required to be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote on the matter.

A class of shares may be entitled to vote separately as a class on various corporate activities. The vote for such class will be determined by the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act and, if applicable, our Articles and Bylaws.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment.

Under the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act, our shareholders have the right to dissent from various corporate actions, including certain mergers or sales of all or substantially all of our assets not made in the usual course of our business, and receive payment of the fair value of their shares. The right of a dissenting shareholder to receive payment of the fair value of such shareholder’s shares shall not be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which shares, at the record date fixed to determine the shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of shareholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation or any sale or exchange of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the corporation not made in the usual course of its business, were either (i) listed on a securities exchange or admitted for trading on an interdealer quotation system or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders. In the event of any amendment of our Articles, a shareholder also has the right to dissent and receive payment for his or her shares if the amendment alters certain rights in respect of those shares. A condition for such payment is that the dissenting shareholders follow the procedures set forth in the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act. In the event that we fail to agree with any dissenting shareholder(s) on a price for the shares, such procedures involve, among other things, the institution of court proceedings in either the Marshall Islands or the country where our shares are primarily traded, which is the United States. The value of the shares of a dissenting shareholder is fixed by the court after reference, if the court so elects, to the recommendations of a court-appointed appraiser.

Table of Contents

Amendment of Articles of Incorporation.

Under the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act, amendments to the articles of incorporation of a Marshall Islands corporation generally may be authorized by vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares entitled to vote. The approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of an adversely affected class or series of stock is also required for certain amendments.

Limitations on Ownership and Dividends.

Neither Marshall Islands law nor our Articles or Bylaws limit the right to own our securities, including the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on the securities. Certain of our debt facilities, and Marshall Islands law, impose limitations on our ability to pay dividends.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to prospective holders of our common stock and, unless otherwise noted in the following discussion, is the opinion of Perkins Coie LLP, our U.S. counsel, insofar as it relates to matters of U.S. federal income tax law and legal conclusions with respect to those matters. The opinion of our counsel is dependent on the accuracy of representations made by us to them, including descriptions of our operations contained herein. This discussion is based upon provisions of the Code, legislative history, applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations (or Treasury Regulations), judicial authority and administrative interpretations, all as in effect on the date of this prospectus, and which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or are subject to different interpretations. Changes in these authorities may cause the tax consequences to vary substantially from the consequences described below. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “we,” “our” or “us” are references to Teekay Corporation.

This discussion is limited to shareholders who hold their common stock as a capital asset for tax purposes. This discussion does not address all tax considerations that may be important to a particular shareholder in light of the shareholder’s circumstances, or to certain categories of shareholders that may be subject to special tax rules, such as:

 

   

dealers in securities or currencies;

 

   

traders in securities that have elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities;

 

   

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

 

   

persons holding our common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or other “synthetic security” or integrated transaction;

 

   

certain U.S. expatriates;

 

   

financial institutions;

 

   

insurance companies;

 

   

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

   

persons that actually or under applicable constructive ownership rules own 10% or more of our stock (by vote or value); and

 

   

entities that are tax-exempt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in partnerships holding our common stock should consult their tax advisors to determine the appropriate tax treatment of the partnership’s ownership of our common stock.

No ruling has been or will be requested from the IRS regarding any matter affecting us or our shareholders. Instead, we will rely on the opinion of Perkins Coie LLP. Unlike a ruling, an opinion of counsel represents only that counsel’s legal judgment and does not bind the IRS or the courts. Accordingly, the opinions and statements made herein may not be sustained by a court if contested by the IRS.

This discussion does not address any U.S. estate tax considerations or tax considerations arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction. Each shareholder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S. and other tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of our common stock.

Table of Contents

United States Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders

As used herein, the term U.S. Holder means a beneficial owner of our common stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien (or a U.S. Individual Holder), (ii) a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation that was created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust that either is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and has one or more U.S. persons with authority to control all of its substantial decisions or has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

Distributions

Subject to the discussion of passive foreign investment companies (or PFICs) below, any distributions made by us to a U.S. Holder generally will constitute dividends, which may be taxable as ordinary income or “qualified dividend income” as described in more detail below, to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits allocated to the U.S. Holder’s common stock, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits allocated to the U.S. Holder’s common stock will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in our common stock and thereafter as capital gain, which will be either long term or short term capital gain depending upon whether the U.S. Holder has held the common stock for more than one year. U.S. Holders that are corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will not be entitled to claim a dividends received deduction with respect to any distributions they receive from us. For purposes of computing allowable foreign tax credits for U.S. federal income tax purposes, dividends received with respect to our common stock will be treated as foreign source income and generally will be treated as “passive category income”.

Subject to holding period requirements and certain other limitations, dividends received with respect to our common stock by a U.S. Holder who is an individual, trust or estate (a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder) will be treated as “qualified dividend income” that is taxable to such Non-Corporate U.S. Holder at preferential capital gain tax rates provided that we are not classified as a PFIC for the taxable year during which the dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year (we intend to take the position that we are not now and have never been classified as a PFIC, as discussed below). Any dividends received with respect to our common stock not eligible for these preferential rates will be taxed as ordinary income to a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder.

Special rules may apply to any “extraordinary dividend” paid by us. Generally, an extraordinary dividend is a dividend with respect to a share of common stock if the amount of the dividend is equal to or in excess of 10% of a common stockholder’s adjusted tax basis (or fair market value in certain circumstances) in such common stock. In addition, extraordinary dividends include dividends received within a one-year period that, in the aggregate, equal or exceed 20% of a stockholder’s adjusted tax basis (or fair market value in certain circumstances). If we pay an “extraordinary dividend” on our common stock that is treated as “qualified dividend income,” then any loss recognized by a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder from the sale or exchange of such common stock will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of such dividend.

Certain Non-Corporate U.S. Holders are subject to a 3.8% tax on certain investment income, including dividends. Non-Corporate U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this tax on their ownership of our common stock.

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Stock

Subject to the discussion of PFICs below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized by the U.S. Holder from such sale, exchange or other disposition and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such stock. Subject to the discussion of extraordinary dividends above, such gain or loss generally will be treated as (i) long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period is greater than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other disposition, or short term capital gain or loss otherwise and (ii) U.S. source gain or loss, as applicable, for foreign tax credit purposes. Non-Corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income tax in respect of long-term capital gains. A U.S. Holder’s ability to deduct capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Certain Non-Corporate U.S. Holders are subject to a 3.8% tax on certain investment income, including capital gains from the sale or other disposition of stock. Non-Corporate U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this tax on their disposition of our common stock.

Consequences of Possible PFIC Classification

A non-U.S. entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be treated as a PFIC in any taxable year in which, after taking into account the income and assets of the corporation and, pursuant to a “look-through” rule, any other corporation or partnership in which the corporation directly or indirectly owns at least 25% of the stock or equity interests (by value), either: (a) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive” income; or (b) at least 50% of the average value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For purposes of these tests, “passive income” includes dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties (other than rents and royalties that are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business). By contrast, income derived from the performance of services does not constitute “passive income.”

There are legal uncertainties involved in determining whether the income derived from our and our look-through subsidiaries’ time-chartering activities constitutes rental income or income derived from the performance of services, including legal uncertainties arising from the decision in Tidewater Inc. v. United States, 565 F.3d 299 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that income derived from certain time-chartering activities should be treated as rental income rather than services income for purposes of a foreign sales corporation provision of the Code. However, the IRS stated in an Action on Decision (AOD 2010-01) that it disagrees with, and will not acquiesce to, the way that the rental versus services framework was applied to the facts in the Tidewater decision, and in its discussion stated that the time charters at issue in Tidewater would be treated as producing services income for PFIC purposes. The IRS’s statement with respect to Tidewater cannot be relied upon or otherwise cited as precedent by taxpayers. Consequently, in the absence of any binding legal authority specifically relating to the statutory provisions governing PFICs, there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court would not follow the Tidewater decision in interpreting the PFIC provisions of the Code. Moreover, the market value of our common stock and our publicly traded look-through subsidiaries may be treated as reflecting the value of our assets, and our publicly traded look-through subsidiaries’ assets, respectively, at any given time. Therefore, a decline in the market value of our common stock, or the stock of our publicly traded look-through subsidiaries, which is not within our control, may impact the determination of whether we are a PFIC. Nevertheless, based on our and our look-through subsidiaries’ current assets and operations, we intend to take the position that we are not now and have never been a PFIC, and our counsel, Perkins Coie LLP, is of the opinion that it is more likely than not that we are not a PFIC based on applicable law, including the Code, legislative history, published revenue rulings and court decisions, and representations we have made to them regarding the composition of our and our look-through subsidiaries’ assets, source of income and nature of activities and other operations, including (for purposes of the description below, references to “our” and “us” include our pro rata share of our look-through subsidiaries):

 

   

the total payments due to us under each of our time charters are substantially in excess of the current bareboat charter rate for comparable vessels;

 

   

the income derived from our participation in revenue sharing arrangements, and from our other time and voyage charters will be greater than 25% of our total gross income at all relevant times; and

 

   

the gross value of our vessels participating in revenue sharing arrangements, and servicing our other time and voyage charters will exceed the gross value of all other assets we own at all relevant times.

An opinion of counsel represents only that counsel’s best legal judgment and does not bind the IRS or the courts. Accordingly, the opinion of Perkins Coie LLP may not be sustained by a court if contested by the IRS. No assurance can be given that the IRS or a court of law will accept our position or that we would not constitute a PFIC for any future taxable year if there were to be changes in our or our look-through subsidiaries’ assets, income or operations.

As discussed more fully below, if we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder generally would be subject to different taxation rules depending on whether the U.S. Holder makes a timely and effective election to treat us as a “qualified electing fund” (or a QEF election). As an alternative to making a QEF election, a U.S. Holder should be able to make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to our common stock, as discussed below.

Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a Timely QEF Election

A U.S. Holder who makes a timely QEF election (an Electing Holder) must report the Electing Holder’s pro rata share of our ordinary earnings and net capital gain, if any, for each taxable year for which we are a PFIC that ends with or within the Electing Holder’s taxable year, regardless of whether or not the Electing Holder received distributions from us in that year. Such income inclusions would not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income. The Electing Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock will be increased to reflect taxed but undistributed earnings and profits. Distributions of earnings and profits that were previously taxed will result in a corresponding reduction in the Electing Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock and will not be taxed again once distributed. An Electing Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock. A U.S. Holder makes a QEF election with respect to any year that we are a PFIC by filing IRS Form 8621 with the U.S. Holder’s timely filed U.S. federal income tax return (including extensions).

If a U.S. Holder has not made a timely QEF election with respect to the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period of our common stock during which we qualified as a PFIC, the U.S. Holder may be treated as having made a timely QEF election by filing a QEF election with the U.S. Holder’s timely filed U.S. federal income tax return (including extensions) and, under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code, a “deemed sale election” to include in income as an “excess distribution” (described below) the amount of any gain that the U.S. Holder would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold the U.S. Holder’s common stock on the “qualification date.” The qualification date is the first day of our taxable year in which we qualified as a “qualified electing fund” with respect to such U.S. Holder. In addition to the above rules, under very limited circumstances, a U.S. Holder may make a retroactive QEF election if the U.S. Holder failed to file the QEF election documents in a timely manner. If a U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election for one of our taxable years, but did not make such election with respect to the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period of our common stock during which we qualified as a PFIC and the U.S. Holder did not make the deemed sale election described above, the U.S. Holder also will be subject to the more adverse rules described below.

A U.S. Holder’s QEF election will not be effective unless we annually provide the U.S. Holder with certain information concerning our income and gain, calculated in accordance with the Code, to be included with the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax return. We have not provided our U.S. Holders with such information in prior taxable years and do not intend to provide such information in the current taxable year. Accordingly, U.S. Holders will not be able to make an effective QEF election at this time. If, contrary to our expectations, we determine that we are or will be a PFIC for any taxable year, we will provide U.S. Holders with the information necessary to make an effective QEF election with respect to our common stock.

Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a “Mark-to-Market” Election

If we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year and, as we anticipate, our common stock was treated as “marketable stock,” then, as an alternative to making a QEF election, a U.S. Holder would be allowed to make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to our common stock, provided the U.S. Holder completes and files IRS Form 8621 in accordance with the relevant instructions and related Treasury Regulations. If that election is made for the first year a U.S. Holder holds or is deemed to hold our common stock and for which we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder generally would include as ordinary income in each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the U.S. Holder’s common stock at the end of the taxable year over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock. The U.S. Holder also would be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock over the fair market value thereof at the end of the taxable year that we are a PFIC, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in our common stock would be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss recognized. Gain recognized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock in taxable years that we are a PFIC would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss recognized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock in taxable years that we are a PFIC would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included in income by the U.S. Holder. Because the mark-to-market election may not be applicable to marketable stock held indirectly through a foreign corporation that is not a controlled foreign corporation, however, it may not apply to a U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any of our subsidiaries that were also determined to be PFICs.

If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election for one of our taxable years and we were a PFIC for a prior taxable year during which such U.S. Holder held our common stock and for which (a) we were not a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder and (b) such U.S. Holder did not make a timely mark-to-market election, such U.S. Holder would also be subject to the more adverse rules described below in the first taxable year for which the mark-to-market election is in effect and also to the extent the fair market value of the U.S. Holder’s common stock exceeds the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock at the end of the first taxable year for which the mark-to-market election is in effect.

Taxation of U.S. Holders Not Making a Timely QEF or Mark-to-Market Election

If we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder who does not make either a QEF election or a “mark-to-market” election for that year (a Non-Electing Holder) would be subject to special rules resulting in increased tax liability with respect to (a) any “excess distribution” (i.e., the portion of any distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder on our common stock in a taxable year in excess of 125% of the average annual distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the Non-Electing Holder’s holding period for our common stock), and (b) any gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock. Under these special rules:

 

   

the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably over the Non-Electing Holder’s aggregate holding period for our common stock;

 

   

the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the taxable year we were first treated as a PFIC with respect to the Non-Electing Holder would be taxed as ordinary income in the current taxable year;

 

   

the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year; and

 

   

an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year.

Additionally, for each year during which a U.S. Holder holds our common stock, we are a PFIC, and the total value of all PFIC stock that such U.S. Holder directly or indirectly holds exceeds certain thresholds, such U.S. Holder will be required to file IRS Form 8621 with its annual U.S. federal income tax return to report its ownership of our common stock. In addition, if a Non-Electing Holder who is an individual dies while owning our common stock, such Non-Electing Holder’s successor generally would not receive a step-up in tax basis with respect to such common stock.

U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the PFIC rules, including the PFIC annual reporting requirements, as well as the applicability, availability and advisability of, and procedure for, making QEF, mark-to-market and other available elections with respect to us and our subsidiaries, and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of making such elections.

U.S. Return Disclosure Requirements for U.S. Individual Holders

U.S. Individual Holders who hold certain specified foreign financial assets, including stock in a foreign corporation that is not held in an account maintained by a financial institution, with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 on the last day of a taxable year, or $75,000 at any time during that taxable year, may be required to report such assets on IRS Form 8938 with their U.S. federal income tax return for that taxable year. This reporting requirement does not apply to U.S. Individual Holders who report their ownership of our common stock under the PFIC annual reporting rules described above. Penalties apply for failure to properly complete and file IRS Form 8938. U.S. Individual Holders are encouraged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the possible application of this disclosure requirement to their investment in our common stock.

United States Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders

A beneficial owner of our common stock (other than a partnership, including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. Holder is a Non-U.S. Holder.

Distributions

In general, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on distributions received from us with respect to our common stock unless the distributions are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment that the Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States). If a Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business within the United States and the distributions are deemed to be effectively connected to that trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment that the Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States), the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on those distributions in the same manner as if it were a U.S. Holder. In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be subject to branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) on the after-tax earnings and profits attributable to such distributions.

Table of Contents

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Stock

In general, a Non-U.S. Holder is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain resulting from the disposition of our common stock unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment that the Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States) or (ii) the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which such disposition occurs and meets certain other requirements. If a Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business within the United States and the disposition of our common stock is deemed to be effectively connected to that trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment that the Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States), the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the resulting gain in the same manner as if it were a U.S. Holder. In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be subject to branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) on the after-tax earnings and profits attributable to such gain.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, distributions taxable as dividends with respect to, or the proceeds from a sale, redemption or other taxable disposition of, our common stock held by a Non–Corporate U.S. Holder will be subject to information reporting requirements, unless such distribution taxable as a dividend is paid and received outside the United States by a non-U.S. payor or non-U.S. middleman (within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations), or such proceeds are effected through an office outside the U.S. of a broker that is considered a non-U.S. payor or non-U.S. middleman (within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations). These amounts also generally will be subject to backup withholding if the Non–Corporate U.S. Holder:

 

   

fails to timely provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;

 

   

is notified by the IRS that it has failed to report all interest or distributions required to be shown on its U.S. federal income tax returns; or

 

   

in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.

Information reporting and backup withholding generally will not apply to distributions taxable as dividends on our common stock to a Non–U.S. Holder if such dividend is paid and received outside the United States by a non-U.S. payor or non-U.S. middleman (within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations) or the Non-U.S. Holder properly certifies under penalties of perjury as to its non-U.S. status (generally on IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8EXP, as applicable) and certain other conditions are met or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Payment of proceeds to a Non-U.S. Holder from a sale, redemption or other taxable disposition of our common stock to or through the U.S. office of a broker, or through a broker that is considered a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman (within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations), generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless the Non-U.S. Holder properly certifies under penalties of perjury as to its non-U.S. status (generally on IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8EXP, as applicable) and certain other conditions are met or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, a Non-Corporate U.S. Holder or Non-U.S. Holder generally may obtain a credit for any amount withheld against its liability for U.S. federal income tax (and obtain a refund of any amounts withheld in excess of such liability) by accurately completing and timely filing a U.S. federal income tax return with the IRS.

NON-UNITED STATES TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is based upon the opinion of Watson Farley & Williams LLP, our counsel as to matters of the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the current laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and is applicable only to persons who do not reside in, maintain offices in or engage in business, operations or transactions in the Republic of the Marshall Islands and are not citizens of the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

Table of Contents

Because we and our subsidiaries do not, and we do not expect that we or any of our subsidiaries will, conduct business, transactions or operations in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and because all documentation related to this offering will be executed outside of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, under current Marshall Islands law holders of our common stock will not be subject to Marshall Islands taxation or withholding on dividends. In addition, holders of our common stock will not be subject to Marshall Islands stamp, capital gains or other taxes on the purchase, ownership or disposition of shares of common stock, and you will not be required by the Republic of the Marshall Islands to file a tax return relating to the shares of common stock.

It is the responsibility of each shareholder to investigate the legal and tax consequences, under the laws of pertinent jurisdictions, including the Marshall Islands, of its investment in us. Accordingly, each shareholder is urged to consult its tax counsel or other advisor with regard to those matters. Further, it is the responsibility of each shareholder to file all state, local and non-U.S., as well as U.S. federal, tax returns which may be required of such shareholder.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We have entered into an equity distribution agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., or the “Agent,” under which we may offer and sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $65,000,000 from time to time through the Agent, as our sales agent. We have filed the equity distribution agreement as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is part. The sales, if any, of shares of our common stock made under the equity distribution agreement will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE at market prices, in block transactions, or as otherwise agreed upon by the Agent and us. As sales agent, the Agent will not engage in any transactions that stabilize the price of our common stock.

This new equity distribution agreement replaces our prior equity distribution agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. entered into on April 24, 2019, which had provided for a $63,000,000 at-the-market offering program that was never utilized and was scheduled to expire in January 2021.

Under the terms of the equity distribution agreement, we also may sell shares of our common stock to the Agent as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares of our common stock to the Agent as principal, we will enter into a separate agreement with the Agent, and we will describe this agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.

We will designate the maximum amount of common stock to be sold through the Agent on a daily basis or otherwise as we and the Agent agree and the minimum price per share at which such common stock may be sold. Subject to the terms and conditions of the equity distribution agreement, the Agent will use its reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the designated shares of common stock. We may instruct the Agent not to sell any common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. We or the Agent may suspend the offering of common stock at any time and from time to time by notifying the other party.

The Agent will provide to us written confirmation following the close of trading on the NYSE each day on which common stock is sold under the equity distribution agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold on that day, the gross sales proceeds, the net proceeds to us (after regulatory transaction fees, if any, but before other expenses) and the compensation payable by us to the Agent. We will report at least quarterly the number of shares sold through the Agent under the equity distribution agreement, the net proceeds to us (before expenses) and the compensation paid by us to the Agent in connection with the sales of common stock.

We will pay the Agent a commission of up to 2% of the gross sales price per share sold through it as our agent under the equity distribution agreement. We have agreed to reimburse the Agent for certain of its expenses.

Settlement for sales of shares of our common stock will occur on the second business day following the date on which any sales were made in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

If we or the Agent have reason to believe that our common stock is no longer an “actively-traded security” as defined under Rule 101(c)(l) of Regulation M under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that party will promptly notify the other and sales of common stock pursuant to the equity distribution agreement or any terms agreement will be suspended until in our collective judgment Rule 101(c)(1) or another exemptive provision has been satisfied.

The offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to the equity distribution agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of all common stock subject to the equity distribution agreement and (2) the termination of the equity distribution agreement by us or by the Agent.

In connection with the sale of the shares of our common stock on our behalf, the Agent may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or the Securities Act), and the compensation paid to the Agent may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and its affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and commercial and investment banking services for us and our affiliates, for which they have received and in the future will receive customary compensation and expense reimbursement. Affiliates of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. are lenders under certain of our and our affiliates’ credit facilities, including the Margin Loan Agreement, dated September 29, 2020. To the extent we use proceeds from this offering to repay indebtedness under our credit facilities, affiliates of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. may receive a portion of the proceeds from this offering.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Teekay Corporation is a Republic of the Marshall Islands corporation. The Republic of the Marshall Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides protections for investors to a significantly lesser extent.

Most of our directors and officers and those of our controlled affiliates are residents of countries other than the United States. Substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and a substantial portion of the assets of our directors and officers are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us, our subsidiaries or our directors and officers or to realize against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

Watson Farley & Williams LLP, our counsel as to Marshall Islands law, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Republic of the Marshall Islands would (1) recognize or enforce against us or our directors and officers judgments of courts of the United States based on civil liability provisions of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws or (2) impose liabilities against us or our directors and officers or those of our controlled affiliates in original actions brought in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, based on these laws.

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters will be passed upon for us by Perkins Coie LLP, Portland, Oregon. The validity of the shares of our common stock offered hereby and certain other legal matters with respect to the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands will be passed upon for us by Watson Farley & Williams LLP. Baker Botts L.L.P., Washington, D.C., will pass upon certain legal matters in connection with the offering on behalf of the Agent.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements of Teekay Corporation as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of Teekay Corporation as of December 31, 2019, have been incorporated by reference herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

KPMG LLP’s audit report on the 2019 consolidated financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph that states, without qualifying KPMG LLP’s opinion, that as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, Teekay Corporation has changed its accounting policies as of January 1, 2018 for revenue recognition due to adoption of ASU 2014-09 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and has changed its accounting policies as of January 1, 2019 for leases due to the adoption of ASU 2016-02 — Leases and for hedge accounting due to the adoption of ASU 2017-12 — Derivatives and Hedging – Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act restricts corporations from limiting or eliminating the personal liability of directors to corporations and their shareholders for monetary damages for certain breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties. Our Articles include a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions taken as a director to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Our bylaws also provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. We are also expressly authorized to advance certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees) to our directors and officers and to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance providing indemnification for our directors and officers for some liabilities. We believe that these indemnification provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Articles and Bylaws may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

c. to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, That: paragraphs 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

4. To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph 4 and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or Item 8.A. of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

5. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

a. each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

b. each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

6. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

a. any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

b. any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the Registrant or used or referred to by the Registrant;

c. the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the Registrant; and

d. any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the Registrant to the purchaser.

The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

 

  7.1

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Manager, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Manager and each person who controls the Manager within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Original Registration Statement, the Replacement Registration Statement, or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus, Replacement Prospectus, Original Prospectus Supplement or any Replacement Prospectus Supplement, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Manager specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

 

  7.2

The Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Manager, but only with reference to written information relating to the Manager furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Manager specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Manager may otherwise have.

 

34


  7.3

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under Section 7.1 or 7.2 above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in Section 7.1 or 7.2. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one action or series of related actions in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action). An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

 

35


  7.4

In the event that the indemnity provided in Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Manager agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and the Manager may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Manager on the other hand from the offering of the Shares; provided, however, that in no case shall the Manager be responsible for any amount in excess of total discounts and commissions received by the Manager with respect to the offering of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreements. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Manager severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Manager on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from sales of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreements, and benefits received by the Manager shall be deemed to be equal to the total discounts and commissions received by the Manager in connection therewith. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Manager on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Manager agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.4, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls the Manager within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Manager shall have the same rights to contribution as the Manager, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 7.4.

8. Termination.

 

  8.1

The Company shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate the provisions of this Agreement relating to the solicitation of offers to purchase the Shares in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that (i) if Shares have been sold through the Manager, then Section 4.25 shall remain in full force and effect, (ii) with respect to any pending sale of Shares through the Manager, the obligations of the Company, including in respect of compensation of the Manager, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination and (iii) the provisions of Sections 5, 7, 10, 11, 13, 15 and 16 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

 

36


  8.2

The Manager shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate the provisions of this Agreement relating to the solicitation of offers to purchase the Shares in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 5, 7, 10, 11, 13, 15 and 16 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

 

  8.3

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Sections 5, 7 and 10 shall remain in full force and effect.

 

  8.4

Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Manager or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date or Time of Delivery for any sale of the Shares, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1(g) of this Agreement.

 

  8.5

In the case of any purchase of Shares by the Manager pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the obligations of the Manager pursuant to such Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination, in the absolute discretion of the Manager, by notice given to the Company prior to the Time of Delivery relating to such Shares, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the NYSE or trading in securities generally on the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Manager, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Prospectus.

9. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event the Manager is a Covered Entity and becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from the Manager of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that the Manager is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of the Manager becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against the Manager are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

 

37


10. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Manager set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by the Manager or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.

No other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.

13. No Fiduciary Duty.

TERMS AGREEMENT

[__]

Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

388 Greenwich Street

New York, New York, 10013

Dear Sirs:

Teekay Corporation, a Marshall Islands corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and in the Equity Distribution Agreement, dated December 29, 2020 (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”), between the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., to issue and sell to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) the securities specified in the Schedule I hereto (the “Purchased Shares”) [, and solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, to grant to Citigroup the option to purchase the additional securities specified in the Schedule I hereto (the “Additional Shares”)].

[Citigroup shall have the right to purchase from the Company all or a portion of the Additional Shares as may be necessary to cover over-allotments made in connection with the offering of the Purchased Shares, at the same purchase price per share to be paid by Citigroup to the Company for the Purchased Shares. This option may be exercised by Citigroup at any time (but not more than once) on or before the thirtieth day following the date hereof, by written notice to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Additional Shares as to which the option is being exercised, and the date and time when the Additional Shares are to be delivered (such date and time being herein referred to as the “Option Closing Date”); provided, however, that the Option Closing Date shall not be earlier than the Time of Delivery (as set forth in the Schedule I hereto) nor earlier than the second business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised nor later than the fifth business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. Payment of the purchase price for the Additional Shares shall be made at the Option Closing Date in the same manner and at the same office as the payment for the Purchased Shares.]

Each of the provisions of the Equity Distribution Agreement not specifically related to the solicitation by Citigroup, as agent of the Company, of offers to purchase securities is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be part of this Terms Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein. Each of the representations and warranties set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Terms Agreement [and] [,] the Time of Delivery [and any Option Closing Date], except that each representation and warranty in Section 2 of the Equity Distribution Agreement which makes reference to the Prospectus (as therein defined) shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty as of the date of the Equity Distribution Agreement in relation to the Prospectus, and also a representation and warranty as of the date of this Terms Agreement [and] [,] the Time of Delivery [and any Option Closing Date] in relation to the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to relate to the Purchased Shares.


An amendment to the Registration Statement (as defined in the Equity Distribution Agreement), or a supplement to the Prospectus, as the case may be, relating to the Purchased Shares [and the Additional Shares], in the form heretofore delivered to the Manager is now proposed to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Equity Distribution Agreement which are incorporated herein by reference, the Company agrees to issue and sell to Citigroup and the latter agrees to purchase from the Company the number of the Purchased Shares at the time and place and at the purchase price set forth in the Schedule I hereto.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Equity Distribution Agreement.


If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us a counterpart hereof, whereupon this Terms Agreement, including those provisions of the Equity Distribution Agreement incorporated herein by reference, shall constitute a binding agreement between the Manager and the Company.

ANNEX C

OPINION FROM COMPANY’S U.S. COUNSEL

Opinion should be to the effect that:

 

  1.

The statements with respect to legal matters or legal conclusions in the (a) Registration Statement and the Prospectus under the caption “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” and (b) Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 20[__], filed with the Commission on [_____________] (the “Form 20-F”) under the captions “Item 4. Information on the Company—E. Taxation of the Company—United States Taxation” and “Item 10. Additional Information—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” are, in all material respects, an accurate discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations addressed therein. (We do not opine or comment on the representations and statements of fact of the Company included in such discussion.)

 

  2.

Our opinion filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration Statement is confirmed and you may rely upon such opinion as if it were addressed to you.

 

  3.

To our knowledge and except as described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and the TGP LPA, there are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase (a) any Common Stock or other interests in the Company, or (b) any equity interests in the Operating Subsidiaries.

 

  4.

To our knowledge, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between any of the Teekay Entities and any person granting such person the right to require the Company to include any securities of any of the Teekay Entities owned or to be owned by such person in the securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, except for any rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement among Teekay Corporation, Tradewinds Trust Co. Ltd., as Trustee for the Cirrus Trust, and Worldwide Trust Services Ltd., as Trustee for the JTK Trust, with respect to common stock of the Company (collectively, the “Registration Rights”), which Registration Rights have been waived or do not apply with respect to the Offering.

 

  5.

The statements in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock” and in the Form 20-F under the captions “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” under the subheadings “—Competition with Teekay Tankers, Teekay LNG and Altera” and “—Services, Management and Pooling Arrangements”, insofar as the statements purport to describe the provisions of documents and laws referred to therein, are accurate in all material respects.

 

  6.

[The Registration Statement became effective under the Act on [________]; the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) became effective under the Act on [_________]]; the Prospectus has been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act in a manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b); and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Act and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or is pending or threatened by the Commission.


  7.

Without independent verification of the factual accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements made in the Registration Statement, [the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 462(b)] or the Prospectus, each of the Registration Statement [and the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 462(b)], on the Effective Date, and the Prospectus, when filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act and on the date hereof (except for the financial statements and financial schedules, and other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which we express no opinion) appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

  8.

The Company’s offering, issuance and sale of the Shares, and the Company’s execution and delivery of the Equity Distribution Agreement, and consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Equity Distribution Agreement do not (a) violate statutory or regulatory U.S. federal laws or statutory or regulatory laws of the State of New York that counsel exercising customary professional judgment would in our experience reasonably recognize as typically applicable to agreements similar to the Equity Distribution Agreement and transactions similar to the transactions contemplated by the Equity Distribution Agreement, or (b) conflict with or constitute a breach or violation of, or a default under (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default), any Material Agreement. (We do not comment or opine as to compliance with any financial covenants or financial ratios contained in any such documents.) “Material Agreement” means any indenture, contract, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument filed by the Company as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (including any document filed as an exhibit to any document incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement).

 

  9.

Without independent verification of the factual accuracy, completeness or fairness of the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto made by the Company prior to the date hereof (other than exhibits thereto and the financial statements and financial schedules, and other financial and statistical information included therein, as to which we express no opinion), when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, each of such documents appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

  10.

To our knowledge, (a) there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving any Teekay Entity or its property of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that is not disclosed in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as required and (b) there is no agreement, franchise, contract, indenture, lease or other document or instrument of a character that is required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus by the Act or to be filed by the Act as an exhibit to the Registration Statement that is not described or filed as required.

 

  11.

The Company is not, and immediately upon giving effect to the Offering, the sale of the Shares and the application of the proceeds thereof as described under “Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus, will not be, required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.


  12.

All consents, approvals, authorizations or other orders of, or registrations or filings on the part of the Company with any United States federal or New York governmental or regulatory authority required for the issuance of securities, the execution and delivery by the Company of the Equity Distribution Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Equity Distribution Agreement have been made or obtained, except those that may be required under applicable state securities laws and regulations.

Such counsel shall also state:

We have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, representatives of the Manager and representatives of the independent auditors of the Company at which the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus were discussed. Although we assume no responsibility for the factual accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements (other than as set forth in paragraphs 1 and 5 above, which remain subject to the assumptions, exclusions and qualifications set forth in this opinion) made in (a) the Registration Statement, (b) the Prospectus, or (c) the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that:

(a) the Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial information included therein, as to which we make no statement), at the most recent date upon which the Registration Statement was deemed to have become effective under the Act, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or

(b) the Prospectus (except for the financial statements and financial schedules and other financial information included therein, as to which we make no statement) as of its date or as of the date hereof contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.


ANNEX D

OPINION FROM COMPANY’S MARSHALL ISLANDS COUNSEL

Opinion should be to the effect that:

 

  1.

The Company is a corporation domesticated, validly existing and in good standing under Marshall Islands Law and has the corporate power and authority to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business, in each case in all material respects, as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus.

 

  2.

The Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by the Company.

 

  3.

The Company has all requisite corporate power to execute and deliver the Agreement, to perform its obligations thereunder, including without limitation the issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares as contemplated thereunder, and to consummate the other transactions contemplated thereby, all in accordance with and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.

 

  4.

The Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered by the Company after full payment therefor pursuant to and in compliance with the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

  5.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by the Company, including without limitation the offering, issuance and sale of the Shares as contemplated thereunder, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not and will not (i) conflict with or constitute a violation of the organizational documents of the Company or any Marshall Islands Entity, (ii) violate any judgment, order or decree of which we are aware of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority situated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands directed to the Company, (iii) violate Marshall Islands Law, or (iv) to our knowledge, result in the creation or imposition of any pledges, liens, encumbrances, security interests, charges, equities or other claims, in each case by operation of law of the Republic of the Marshall Islands upon any property or assets of the Company or the Marshall Islands Entities.

 

  6.

The choice of New York law to govern the Agreement constitutes a valid choice of law under Marshall Islands Law.

To our knowledge, TGP beneficially owns such membership interest free and clear of all pledges, liens, encumbrances, security interests or other claims, except for the Claim Exceptions.

  12.

The entities formed or incorporated under Marshall Islands Law (the “Marshall Islands Operating Subsidiaries”) and identified in Schedule A hereto under the heading “Marshall Islands Operating Subsidiary” are owned of record as described on Schedule A hereto.

  13.

Each of TGP GP, TGP, TNK, and TGP Operating Company has been duly formed or incorporated and each such entity and each of the Marshall Islands Operating Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Marshall Islands Entities”) is validly existing and in good standing as a limited liability company, limited partnership or corporation, as applicable, under Marshall Islands Law, and each has the limited liability company, limited partnership or corporate, as applicable, power and authority to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business, in each case in all material respects, as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and, in each instance the documents incorporated by reference therein.

  15.

Except as referred to (including by incorporation by reference) or described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, no permit, consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, filing or qualification of or with any court, governmental agency or body of the Republic of the Marshall Islands having jurisdiction over the Company, any of the Marshall Islands Entities, or any of their respective properties is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Agreement by the Company, or the performance of the transactions contemplated thereby, including without limitation the issuance and sale of the Shares as contemplated thereunder.

  17.

The statements (i) in the Registration Statement and Prospectus under the captions “Non-United States Tax Considerations”, “Service of Process and Enforcement of Civil Liabilities” and “Description of Capital Stock” and (ii) in the Company’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 20[•] under the captions “Item 4. Information on the Company — E. Taxation of the Company — Marshall Islands Taxation” and “Item 10. Additional Information — Non-United States Tax Considerations — Marshall Islands Tax Considerations”, insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of Marshall Islands Law or legal conclusions of Marshall Islands Law, fairly describe in all material respects the portions of the statutes addressed thereby, subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated therein. For the avoidance of doubt, we take no view on the accuracy of descriptions of any contracts or organizational documents which may be included under such captions.

 

  18.

A judgment granted by a foreign court against the Company may be recognized in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, to the extent that the foreign judgment grants or denies recovery of a sum of money, other than a judgment for taxes, a fine or other penalty, or a judgment for support in matrimonial matters, and so long as the judgment is final and conclusive and enforceable where rendered even though an appeal therefrom is pending, or subject to appeal (although the court may stay in proceedings until the relevant appeal has been determined or until the expiration of a period of time sufficient to enable the defendant to prosecute the appeal). A foreign judgment is not conclusive if: (i) the judgment was rendered under a system which does not provide impartial tribunals or procedures compatible with the requirements of due process of law, (ii) the foreign court did not have personal jurisdiction over the defendant, or (iii) the foreign court did not have jurisdiction over the subject matter. A foreign judgment need not be recognized if: (i) the defendant in the proceedings in the foreign court did not receive notice of the proceedings in sufficient time to enable him to defend, (ii) the judgment was obtained by fraud, (iii) the cause of action on which the judgment is based is repugnant to the public policy of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, (iv) the judgment conflicts with another final and conclusive judgment, (v) the proceeding in the foreign court was contrary to an agreement between the parties under which the dispute in question was to be settled otherwise than by proceedings in the court, (vi) in the case of jurisdiction based only on personal service, the foreign court was a seriously inconvenient forum for the trial of the action, or (vii) the foreign state does not recognize or enforce the judgments of any other foreign nation.

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as special counsel as to matters of the law of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (“Marshall Islands Law”) for Teekay Corporation, a Marshall Islands corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration of the issuance and sale from time to time by the Company of common shares, par value $0.001 per share, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $65,000,000 (the “Shares”) pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the date hereof (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including the prospectus contained therein (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Prospectus”).

The Shares will be sold from time to time as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and pursuant to an Equity Distribution Agreement, dated December 29, 2020 (the “Distribution Agreement”), between the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

As such counsel, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of the following documents:

(iii)

the Distribution Agreement; and

 

(iv)

such corporate records, certificates, agreements, documents or other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company as we have deemed relevant and necessary.

In such examination, we have assumed: (a) the legal capacity of each natural person, (b) the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (c) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as conformed or photostatic copies, (d) that the documents reviewed by us in connection with the rendering of the opinion set forth herein are true, correct, and complete, and (e) the truthfulness of each statement as to all factual matters contained in any document or certificate encompassed within the due diligence review undertaken by us.

In rendering this opinion, we have also assumed:

 

(i)

that the issuance and sale of the Shares complies in all respects with the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Distribution Agreement and all of the instruments and other documents relating thereto or executed in connection therewith;

 

(ii)

that the Distribution Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto (other than the Company); and

 

(iii)

the validity and enforceability of the Distribution Agreement against the parties thereto.

As to any questions of fact material to our opinion, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon the aforesaid certificates or comparable documents, and the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Distribution Agreement. We have not independently verified the facts so relied on.

We have assumed that the Company will have sufficient authorized but unissued common shares on the date of any issuance of the Shares registered pursuant to the Registration Statement (after taking into account any shares reserved for issuance).

Based on the foregoing, and having regard to legal considerations which we deem relevant, and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that when the Shares are issued and delivered against receipt of full payment therefor by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Registration Statement, and the Prospectus, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Teekay Corporation, a Republic of the Marshall Islands corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) of a registration statement on Form F-3 dated December 29, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”) for the registration from time to time of securities of the Company with an aggregate offering price of up to $65,000,000.

You have requested our opinion regarding certain United States federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to prospective common stockholders. In rendering our opinion, we have examined and relied upon the truth, accuracy, and completeness of the facts, statements and representations contained in (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the certificate of the Company and certain affiliates of the Company (the “Tax Certificate”), and (iii) such other documents, certificates, records, statements and representations made by the Company as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth below. We have not, however, undertaken an independent investigation of any factual matter set forth in any of the foregoing.

In addition, we have assumed, with your permission, (i) that the statements and representations concerning the Company and its operations contained in the Registration Statement and the statements and representations contained in the Tax Certificate are true, correct and complete and will remain true, correct and complete at all relevant times, (ii) the authenticity of original documents submitted to us and the conformity to the originals of documents submitted to us as copies and (iii) that any statement or representation contained in the Tax Certificate with the qualification “to the knowledge of” or “based on the belief of” or other similar qualification, is true, correct and complete and will remain true, correct and complete at all relevant times, in each case without such qualification.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications, assumptions and caveats set forth herein and in the Registration Statement, we hereby confirm, as of the date hereof, our opinions set forth in the Registration Statement under the heading “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

This opinion addresses only the matters of United States federal income taxation specifically described under the heading “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Registration Statement. This opinion does not address any other United States federal tax consequences or any state, local or foreign tax consequences that may be relevant to prospective common stockholders.


We hereby consent to the discussion of this opinion in the Registration Statement, to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the captions “Risk Factors,” “Legal Matters” and “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Registration Statement.
