4. Strategic Rationale
» Modern, double-hull fleet acquired at a cyclical-low fair market value
• Mid-size Aframax and Suezmax vessels complement existing TNK fleet
• Diversification into product tanker market, supported by attractive fundamentals
• Well-maintained vessels managed by Teekay with no loss of customer trading
approvals
» Fixed-rate charter profile provides additional downside protection to TNK’s
dividend and is consistent with TNK’s outlook for improving spot tanker market
fundamentals commencing in 2013
• 7 of the 13 acquired vessels will provide upside to spot market by Q2-2013
» Acquired vessels come with attractive, ‘covenant-lite’ debt facilities with
favorable repayment profiles
» Assumed revolving credit facilities come with $40 million of undrawn capacity
which further enhances TNK’s liquidity to ~$400 million
• Provides TNK with significant financial flexibility to pursue further accretive growth
opportunities

sponsor relationship
