NEWS RELEASE
TEEKAY ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF REMAINING SHARES OF
TEEKAY PETROJARL ASA
Hamilton, Bermuda, July 9, 2008 Teekay Corporation (Teekay) (NYSE: TK) today announced that it
has, through its wholly owned subsidiary, TPO Investments AS (TPO Investments), exercised its right
to effect the compulsory acquisition pursuant to Section 4-25 of the Norwegian Public Limited
Liability Companies Act of all of Teekay Petrojarl ASAs (Teekay Petrojarl) shares not previously
owned by Teekay. Pursuant to this process, TPO Investments automatically has become the owner of
all shares of Teekay Petrojarl. Teekay has announced that it will offer a redemption price for the
previously outstanding shares of NOK 59 per share. The aggregate redemption amount is deposited in
a designated bank account with DnBNOR ASA in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability
Companies Act Section 4-25 (5).
Mr. Moller, Teekays President and CEO said, We are pleased to have acquired the remaining shares
of Teekay Petrojarl. The compulsory acquisition effected today marks the successful conclusion of
our bid to acquire the leading operator of floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO)
assets in the North Sea. Our ownership of 100% of Teekay Petrojarl will now provide us with
additional flexibility to move suitable FPSO assets into Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. (NYSE:TOO),
and provides us with an excellent platform to continue to pursue additional FPSO opportunities in
the rapidly growing offshore sector.
Teekay initially entered into a joint venture agreement in February 2006 with the then parent
company of Petrojarl ASA (as it was then named) to jointly pursue FPSO projects and by August 2006
had acquired more than 40% of the shares of Petrojarl ASA (OSE: PETRO). Following the completion of
a mandatory offer in October 2006, TPO Investments held 63.2% of the shares in the company and it
was renamed Teekay Petrojarl ASA. On June 20, 2008, TPO Investments purchased an additional
22,603,832 shares from Prosafe Production at a price of NOK 59 per share, increasing its total
ownership in Teekay Petrojarl to 94.81%.
