This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed by Teekay Corporation on December 28, 2007 and Amendment No. 1, 2 and 3 on Schedule 13D filed by Teekay Corporation on December 28, 2017, December 23, 2021 and January 28, 2022, respectively, (together, the “Original Schedule 13D”). Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Original Schedule 13D. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment amends and restates Item 1 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below:

This Amendment relates to shares of Class A common stock (the “Class A Common Shares”) of Teekay Tankers Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the “Issuer”), with principal executive offices at 4th Floor, Belvedere Building, 69 Pitts Bay Road, Hamilton, HM 08, Bermuda.

Item 2. Identity and Background

This Amendment amends and restates Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below:

This Amendment relates to Teekay Corporation, a corporation existing under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the “Reporting Person”), with its principal executive offices at 4th Floor, Belvedere Building, 69 Pitts Bay Road, Hamilton, HM 08, Bermuda. The Reporting Person is principally engaged in the business of international crude oil and petroleum product transportation services and vessel management for the Australian Government.

The name, principal occupation or employment and principal business address and citizenship of each director and executive officer of the Reporting Person are as set forth on Schedule A.

In the past five years, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Person, any of the individuals set forth on Schedule A has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to any action as a result of which it or such individual is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

This Amendment amends and restates Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below:

The Reporting Person disposed of 584,552 Class A Common Shares in open market transactions for an aggregate sale price of $14.7 million, on the dates and at average prices per share set forth in Item 5(c) below.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

3 of 7

The Reporting Person beneficially owns⁽¹⁾ 4,625,997 shares of Class B Common Shares and 5,358,183 Class A Common Shares. Each Class B Common Share has five votes per share and each Class A Common Share has one vote per share. However, the voting power of the Class B Common Shares is limited such that the aggregate voting power of all Class B Common Shares outstanding can at no time exceed 49% of the voting power of the Issuer’s Class A Common Shares and Class B Common Shares, voting together as a single class. The Reporting Person currently holds, directly and indirectly, Class A Common Shares and Class B Common Shares representing 54.4% of the voting power of the Issuer’s capital stock. The Reporting Person, and its wholly-owned subsidiary and the Issuer’s manager, Teekay Services Ltd. (the “Manager”), provide commercial, technical, strategic and administrative services to the Issuer pursuant to a long-term management agreement. The Issuer’s executive officers are employees of the Reporting Person or its subsidiaries. Due to these relationships, and the level of its ownership of voting stock, the Reporting Person has the ability to exercise substantial influence over the Issuer’s management and affairs.

The Class B Common Shares are convertible into Class A Common Shares on a one-for-one basis, at any time at the election of the Reporting Person, and automatically upon the occurrence of certain events, as discussed in Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D.

As of the date of this Amendment, the Reporting Person has no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the following actions, except as disclosed herein and except that the Reporting Person or its affiliates may, from time to time or at any time, subject to market conditions and other factors, purchase additional Class A Common Shares in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or sell at any time all or a portion of the Class A Common Shares now owned or hereafter acquired by them to one or more purchasers:

 

•

the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

 

•

an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

•

a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

•

any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

 

•

any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;

 

•

any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure including but not limited to, if the Issuer is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940;

 

•

changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

 

•

causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

 

•

a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or

 

•

any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

 

4 of 7

The Reporting Person, due to its ability to exercise substantial influence over the Issuer’s management and affairs, may be able to influence the decisions of the Issuer and its subsidiaries relating to certain significant actions. These actions include:

 

•

certain acquisitions, borrowings and capital expenditures by the Issuer or its subsidiaries;

 

•

issuances of equity interests in the Issuer or its subsidiaries; and

 

•

certain dispositions of equity interests in, or assets of, the Issuer or the Issuer’s subsidiaries.
