1
Q: | Why am I receiving these materials? |
|
A: | The Board of Directors (or Board) of Teekay Corporation, a corporation organized in the Republic of The Marshall Islands
(or Teekay), is providing these proxy materials to you in connection with Teekays Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which
will take place on Friday, June 10, 2011. As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the annual meeting and are entitled
and requested to vote on the items of business described in this proxy statement. |
|
Q: | What information is contained in this proxy statement? |
|
A: | The information included in this proxy statement relates to the proposals to be voted on at the annual meeting, the voting
process, the compensation of directors and Teekays most highly-paid executive officers, and certain other information
about Teekay. |
|
Q: | How may I obtain Teekays annual report to shareholders? |
|
A: | A copy of our annual report to shareholders may be found in the Investor Center section of our website at www.teekay.com. |
|
Q: | How may I obtain Teekays Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (or SEC) |
|
A: | Our 2010 Annual Report on Form 20-F constitutes our annual report to shareholders. Copies of the 2010 Annual Report on
Form 20-F are available under SEC Filings in the Investor Center section of our website at www.teekay.com, and at the
SECs EDGAR database on the SECs website at www.sec.gov. Shareholders may also request a free copy of our 2010 Annual
Report on Form 20-F from: |
Teekay will also furnish any exhibit to the Form 20-F if specifically requested. |
||
Q: | What items of business will be voted on at the annual meeting? |
|
A: | The items of business scheduled to be voted on at the annual meeting are: |
| The election of four directors to Teekays Board for a term of three years; and |
||
| Any other business that properly comes before the annual meeting. |
Q: | How does the Board recommend that I vote? |
|
A: | The Board recommends that you vote your shares FOR each of the nominees to the Board. |
|
Q: | What shares can I vote? |
|
A: | Each share of Teekays common stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on April 12, 2011, the record date
for the annual meeting, is entitled to be voted on all items being voted upon at the meeting. The record date for the
annual meeting is the date used to determine both the number of shares of Teekays common stock that are entitled to be
voted at the annual meeting and the identity of the shareholders of record and beneficial owners of those shares of common
stock who are entitled to vote those shares at the annual meeting. On the record date for the annual meeting, we had
approximately 72,318,546 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. |
2
You may vote all shares owned by you as of the record date for the annual meeting,
including (1) shares held directly in your name as the shareholder of record, including
shares purchased through Teekays Dividend Reinvestment Plan, and (2) shares held for you
as the beneficial owner through a broker, trustee or other nominee such as a bank. |
Q: | What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner? |
|
A: | Most Teekay shareholders hold their shares through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As
summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially. |
|
Shareholder of Record |
||
If your shares are registered directly in your name with Teekays transfer agent, BNY
Mellon Shareowner Services, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the
shareholder of record, and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by Teekay.
As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to
Teekay management or to vote in person at the meeting.
Beneficial Owner |
||
If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are considered
the beneficial owner of shares held in street name and these proxy materials are being
forwarded to you together with a voting instruction card. As the beneficial owner, you
have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee how to vote and are also invited
to attend the annual meeting. |
||
Since a beneficial owner is not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in
person at the meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, trustee or nominee
that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting. Your
broker, trustee or nominee should have provided voting instructions for you to use in
directing the broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your shares. |
||
Q: | How can I attend the annual meeting? |
|
A: | You are entitled to attend the annual meeting only if you were a
Teekay shareholder as of the close of business on April 12, 2011 or
you hold a valid proxy for the annual meeting. You should be prepared
to present photo identification for admittance. In addition, if you
are a shareholder of record, your name will be verified against the
list of shareholders of record on the record date prior to your being
admitted to the annual meeting. If you are not a shareholder of
record but hold shares through a broker or nominee (i.e., in street
name), you should provide proof of beneficial ownership on the record
date, such as your most recent account statement prior to the record
date, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker,
trustee or nominee or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do
not provide photo identification or comply with the procedures
outlined above upon request, you will not be admitted to the annual
meeting. The meeting is scheduled to begin promptly at 9:00 am
British Summer Time. |
|
Q: | How can I vote my shares in person at the annual meeting? |
|
A: | Shares held in your name as the shareholder of record may be voted in
person at the annual meeting. Shares held beneficially in street name
may be voted in person only if you obtain a legal proxy from the
broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right
to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the annual meeting, we
recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as
described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide
not to attend the meeting. |
|
Q: | How can I vote my shares without attending the annual meeting? |
|
A: | Whether you hold shares directly as the shareholder of record or
beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are voted
without attending the meeting. If you are a shareholder of record,
you may vote by submitting a proxy. If you hold shares beneficially
in street name, you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your
broker, trustee or nominee. |
3
Q: | Can I change my vote? |
|
A: | You may change your vote at any time prior to the vote at the annual
meeting. If you are the shareholder of record, you may change your
vote by granting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically
revokes the earlier proxy,
by providing a written notice of revocation to Teekays Corporate Secretary by mail received prior to your shares being voted, or by
attending the annual meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be
revoked unless you specifically so request. For shares you hold beneficially in street name, you may change your vote by submitting
new voting instructions to your broker, trustee or nominee, or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker or nominee
giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the meeting and voting in person. |
|
Q: | Is my vote confidential? |
|
A: | Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders are handled in a
manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within Teekay or to
third parties, except (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, (2) to allow for the
tabulation of votes and certification of the vote and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation. |
|
Q: | How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the annual meeting? |
|
A: | The general quorum requirement for holding the annual meeting and transacting business is that holders of
a majority of shares of Teekays common stock entitled to vote must be present in person or represented by
proxy. However, the number of shares required to be represented at the annual meeting to constitute a
quorum is reduced from a majority to one-third of the shares entitled to vote on a specific matter if that
matter is recommended by the Continuing Directors (as defined below) or, for purposes of voting on the
election of directors, if all nominees are recommended by the Continuing Directors. Continuing Directors
means the incumbent members of the Board of Directors that were members of the Board on May 31, 2006 and
any persons who have been or are subsequently elected or appointed to the Board if such persons are
recommended by a majority of the Continuing Directors. The Continuing Directors have recommended for
election all the nominees for director set out in this proxy statement. Accordingly, the quorum for this
matter will be one-third of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy.
Abstentions will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum, but broker non-votes
will not be counted for purposes of determining a quorum. |
|
Q: | How are votes counted? |
|
A: | In the election of directors, you may vote FOR all of the nominees or your vote may be WITHHELD with
respect to one or more of the nominees. For any other item of business, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or
ABSTAIN. If you ABSTAIN, the abstention has the same effect as a vote AGAINST. |
|
If you provide specific instructions for a given item, your shares will be voted as you
instruct on such item. If you sign your proxy card or voting instruction card without
giving specific instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the
recommendations of the Board (i.e., FOR all of Teekays nominees to the Board and in the
discretion of the proxy holders on any other matters that properly come before the
meeting). |
||
If you hold shares beneficially in street name and do not provide your broker with voting
instructions, your shares may constitute broker non-votes. Generally, broker non-votes
occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without
instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. In tabulating the
voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not
considered entitled to vote on that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the
outcome of any matter being voted on at the meeting, assuming that a quorum is obtained. |
||
Q: | What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals? |
|
A: | In the election of directors, the four persons receiving the highest number of FOR votes at the annual meeting will be
elected. Any other proposals require the affirmative FOR vote of a majority of those shares present in person or
represented by proxy and entitled to vote on that proposal at the annual meeting. |
|
Q: | Is cumulative voting permitted for the election of directors? |
|
A: | No. Teekay does not allow you to cumulate your vote in the election of directors. For all matters proposed for shareholder
action at the annual meeting, each share of common stock outstanding as of the close of business on the record date is
entitled to one vote. |
4
Q: | What happens if additional matters are presented at the annual meeting? |
|
A: | Other than the one item of business described in this proxy statement, we are not aware of any business to be acted upon at
the annual meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders, Peter Evensen, Vincent Lok and Arthur J.
Bensler, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the
meeting. If for any unforeseen reason any of our nominees are not available as a candidate for director, the persons named
as proxy holders will vote your proxy for such candidate or candidates as may be nominated by the Board, unless the Board
chooses to reduce the number of directors serving on the Board. |
|
Q: | What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials? |
|
A: | If you request a printed set of voting materials, you may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple
copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in
more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you
hold shares. If you are a shareholder of record requesting printed voting materials and your shares are registered in more
than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and
voting instruction card that you receive. |
|
Q: | How may I obtain a separate set of voting materials? |
|
A: | If you share an address with another shareholder and request a printed set of voting materials, you may receive only one
set of proxy materials unless you have provided contrary instructions. If you wish to receive a separate set of proxy
materials now or in the future, you may contact us to request a separate copy of these materials at: |
Similarly, if you share an address with another shareholder and have received multiple copies of
our proxy materials, you may contact us as indicated above to request delivery of a single
copy of these materials. |
||
Q: | Who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the annual meeting? |
|
A: | Teekay is making this solicitation and will pay the entire cost of
preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing proxy
materials and soliciting votes. In addition to the mailing of any
proxy materials, the solicitation of proxies or votes may be made in
person, by telephone or by electronic communication by our directors,
officers and employees, who will not receive any additional
compensation for such solicitation activities. Upon request, we will
reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and
fiduciaries for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to
shareholders. |
|
Q: | Where can I find the voting results of the annual meeting? |
|
A: | We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the annual meeting
and publish final results in our report on Form 6-K for the second
quarter of 2011. |
|
Q: | What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next
years annual meeting of shareholders or to nominate individuals to
serve as directors? |
|
A: | You may submit proposals, including director nominations, for
consideration at future shareholder meetings as indicated below. |
