• | Because our partnership interest in OPCO currently represents our only cash-generating asset, our cash flow initially will depend completely on OPCO’s ability to make distributions to its partners, including us. |
• | We may not have sufficient cash from operations to enable us to pay the minimum quarterly distribution on our common units. |
• | OPCO must make substantial capital expenditures to maintain and expand the operating capacity of its fleet, which will reduce our cash available for distribution. |
• | OPCO’s substantial debt levels may limit its or our flexibility in obtaining additional financing, pursuing other business opportunities and our paying distributions to you. |
• | OPCO derives a substantial majority of its revenues from a limited number of customers, and the loss of any such customer could result in a significant loss of revenues and cash flow. |
• | We depend on Teekay Shipping Corporation to assist us and OPCO in operating our businesses and competing in our markets. |
• | Our growth depends on continued growth in demand for offshore oil transportation, processing and storage services. |
• | Because payments under OPCO’s contracts of affreightment are based on the volume of oil it transports, the utilization of OPCO’s shuttle tanker fleet and the success of its shuttle tanker business depends upon continued production from existing or new oil fields it services, which is beyond our or OPCO’s control and generally declines naturally over time. |
• | Teekay Shipping Corporation and its affiliates may engage in competition with OPCO and us. |
• | Our general partner and its affiliates have conflicts of interest and limited fiduciary duties, which may permit them to favor their own interests to your detriment. |
• | Our general partner, which is owned and controlled by Teekay Shipping Corporation, makes all decisions on our behalf, subject to the limited voting rights of our common unitholders. |
• | Even if public unitholders are dissatisfied, they cannot initially remove our general partner without Teekay Shipping Corporation’s consent. |
• | You will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $16.72 per common unit. |
• | Our general partner has a call right that may require you to sell your common units at an undesirable time or price. |
• | We will be subject to taxes, which will reduce our cash available for distribution to you. |

• | Shuttle Tankers — 36 shuttle tankers, 24 of which are owned fully or jointly and 12 of which are chartered-in, and all of which operate under contracts of affreightment for various offshore oil fields or under fixed-rate time charter or bareboat charter contracts for specific oil field installations. The majority of the contract of affreightment volumes arelife-of-field, which, according to data provided by Wood MacKenzie Ltd., have a weighted-average remaining life of 16 years. The time charters and bareboat charters have an average remaining contract term of approximately 6 years. |
1
Table of Contents
• | FSO Units — 4 FSO units, all of which are owned and operate under fixed-rate contracts with an average remaining term of approximately 5 years. An FSO unit provides on-site storage for an oil field installation that has no storage facilities or that requires supplemental storage. According to International Maritime Associates (orIMA), over the next five years the world FSO fleet will increase from 86 to between 117 and 127 units. | |
• | Conventional Oil Tankers — 9 Aframax-class conventional crude oil tankers, all of which are owned and operate under fixed-rate time charters with Teekay Shipping Corporation with an average remaining term of approximately 8 years. |
• | Growing offshore oil production. The following trends forecasted by Douglas-Westwood Ltd. should support continued growth in the offshore sector: |
• | offshore oil production will grow from approximately 33% of global oil production in 2005 to approximately 37% by 2015; | |
• | deepwater oil production will increase from approximately 3 million barrels per day in 2005, or 12% of offshore production, to over 8 million barrels per day in 2015, or approximately 25% of offshore production; and | |
• | after 2010, all growth in global offshore oil production will be from deep waters. |
We believe this forecasted growth in deepwater offshore oil production will increase demand for shuttle tankers and FPSO units compared to pipelines or fixed production platforms, which may not be economical or technically feasible in deep waters and remote areas. |

Table of Contents
• | Increased outsourcing of offshore services. We believe there is a growing trend among major oil companies to outsource to independent contractors offshore transportation, processing and storage functions. We also believe there is a growing number of smaller oil companies entering the offshore sector, as oil demand and prices drive future exploration and production. Smaller oil companies generally outsource their offshore service requirements due to capital expenditure constraints and lack of in-house expertise. These smaller companies primarily focus on marginal or remote projects, which favor the employment of shuttle tankers, FSO units and FPSO units. | |
• | Customer demand for dependable and integrated solutions. Many offshore projects, particularly those located in deep water or remote locations, require a combination of the types of offshore services OPCO provides. Major oil companies are highly selective in their choice of contractors to provide these services due to the high level of capital investment and the need for uninterrupted production from the oil fields. We believe we can bundle services and offer a reliable, integrated “one-stop-shop” solution for customers in the offshore sector. |
• | Leading position in the shuttle tanker sector.OPCO is the world’s largest owner and operator of shuttle tankers, as it owned or operated 36 of the 58 vessels in the world shuttle tanker fleet as at November 1, 2006. OPCO’s large fleet size ensures that it can provide comprehensive coverage of charterers’ requirements and provides opportunities to enhance the efficiency of operations and increase fleet utilization. | |
• | Offshore operational expertise and enhanced growth opportunities through our relationship with Teekay Shipping Corporation. Teekay Shipping Corporation has achieved a global brand name in the shipping industry and the offshore market, developed an extensive network of long-standing relationships with major oil companies and earned a reputation for reliability, safety and excellence. We expect to benefit from Teekay Shipping Corporation’s over25-year history of providing shuttle tanker and offshore services to customers through access to its personnel, pursuant to services agreements, and its competitiveness in bidding for new projects. Additionally, we expect to benefit from improved leverage with leading shipyards during periods of vessel production constraints and from Teekay Shipping Corporation’s control of and joint venture with Petrojarl ASA and our rights to participate in certain Petrojarl FPSO projects under the omnibus agreement. | |
• | Cash flow stability from contracts with leading energy companies. We benefit from stability in cash flows due to the long-term, fixed-rate contracts underlying most of OPCO’s business. OPCO is able to secure long-term contracts because its services are an integrated part of offshore oil field projects and a critical part of the logistics chain of the fields. | |
• | Disciplined vessel acquisition strategy and successful project execution. OPCO’s fleet has been built through successful new project tenders and acquisitions, and this strategy has contributed significantly to its leading position in the shuttle tanker market. | |
• | Financial flexibility to pursue acquisitions and other expansion opportunities. We believe our financial flexibility will provide us with acquisition and expansion opportunities. OPCO has access to approximately $1.6 billion under credit facilities for working capital and acquisition purposes, approximately $300 million of which we anticipate will be undrawn. |
• | Expand global operations in high growth regions. As offshore exploration and production activity continues to accelerate worldwide, we will seek to continue to expand shuttle tanker and FSO unit operations into growing offshore markets such as Brazil and Australia. In addition, we intend to |
3
Table of Contents
pursue opportunities in new markets such as Arctic Russia, Eastern Canada, the Gulf of Mexico, Asia and Africa. | ||
• | Pursue opportunities in the FPSO sector. We believe Teekay Shipping Corporation’s control of and joint venture with Petrojarl ASA will enable us to competitively pursue FPSO projects anywhere in the world by combining Petrojarl’s engineering and operational expertise with Teekay Shipping Corporation’s global marketing organization and extensive customer and shipyard relationships. | |
• | Acquire additional vessels on long-term fixed-rate contracts. We intend to continue acquiring shuttle tankers and FSO units with long-term contracts, rather than ordering vessels on a speculative basis, and we intend to follow this same practice in acquiring FPSO units. We also anticipate growing by acquiring additional limited partner interests in OPCO that Teekay Shipping Corporation may offer us in the future. | |
• | Provide superior customer service by maintaining high reliability, safety, environmental and quality standards. Energy companies seek transportation partners that have a reputation for high reliability, safety, environmental and quality standards. We intend to leverage OPCO’s and Teekay Shipping Corporation’s operational expertise and customer relationships to further expand a sustainable competitive advantage with consistent delivery of superior customer service. | |
• | Manage the conventional tanker fleet to provide stable cash flows. The terms for OPCO’s existing long-term conventional tanker charters are 5 to 12 years. We believe the fixed-rate time charters for these tankers will provide stable cash flows during their terms and a source of funding for expanding offshore operations. |
• | Teekay Shipping Corporation will transfer to us a 25.99% limited partner interest in OPCO and will transfer to us its 100% interest in Teekay Offshore Operating GP L.L.C., which holds a 0.01% general partner interest in OPCO; | |
• | we will issue to Teekay Shipping Corporation 2,800,000 common units and 9,800,000 subordinated units, representing a 63.0% limited partner interest in us, and non-interest bearing promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount approximating the net proceeds of this offering (theTSC Notes); | |
• | we will issue to Teekay Offshore GP L.L.C., a wholly owned subsidiary of Teekay Shipping Corporation, the 2.0% general partner interest in us and all of our incentive distribution rights, |

which will entitle our general partner to increasing percentages of the cash we distribute in excess of $0.4025 per unit per quarter; and | ||
• | we will issue 7,000,000 common units to the public in this offering, representing a 35.0% limited partner interest in us, and will use the net proceeds of this offering, estimated at $134.4 million, to repay the TSC Notes. Please read “Use of Proceeds.” |
• | we will enter into an omnibus agreement with Teekay Shipping Corporation, our general partner and others governing, among other things: |
• | when we and Teekay Shipping Corporation may compete with each other; and | |
• | certain rights of first offer on shuttle tankers, FSO units, FPSO units and conventional oil tankers; |
• | we, OPCO and operating subsidiaries of OPCO will enter into various services agreements with certain subsidiaries of Teekay Shipping Corporation pursuant to which those subsidiaries will agree to provide to us and OPCO administrative services and to OPCO’s operating subsidiaries strategic consulting, advisory, ship management, technical and/or administrative services; and | |
• | operating subsidiaries of OPCO will enter into fixed-rate time-charter contracts with Teekay Shipping Corporation pursuant to which Teekay Shipping Corporation will charter OPCO’s nine conventional oil tankers for initial terms ranging from approximately 5 to 12 years, with an average term of approximately 8 years. |

Common units offered to the public | 7,000,000 common units. 8,050,000 common units if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full. | |
Units outstanding after this offering | 9,800,000 common units and 9,800,000 subordinated units, each representing a 49.0% limited partner interest in us. | |
Use of proceeds | We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to repay non-interest bearing promissory notes we will issue to Teekay Shipping Corporation as partial consideration for our acquisition of our 26.0% interest in OPCO. | |
The net proceeds from any exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option will be used to redeem common units from Teekay Shipping Corporation equal to the number of units for which the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option. | ||
Teekay Shipping Corporation may use amounts it receives in connection with this offering to repay borrowings under one of its credit facilities, under which affiliates of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Fortis Securities LLC, DnB NOR Markets, Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities are lenders. Please read “Underwriting” for additional information. | ||
Cash distributions | We intend to make minimum quarterly distributions of $0.35 per common unit to the extent we have sufficient cash from operations after establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees and expenses, including payments to our general partner in reimbursement for all expenses incurred by it on our behalf. In general, we will pay any cash distributions we make each quarter in the following manner: | |
• first, 98.0% to the holders of common units and 2.0% to our general partner, until each common unit has received a minimum quarterly distribution of $0.35 plus any arrearages from prior quarters; | ||
• second, 98.0% to the holders of subordinated units and 2.0% to our general partner, until each subordinated unit has received a minimum quarterly distribution of $0.35; and | ||
• third, 98.0% to all unitholders, pro rata, and 2.0% to our general partner, until each unit has received an aggregate distribution of $0.4025. | ||
If cash distributions exceed $0.4025 per unit in a quarter, our general partner will receive increasing percentages, up to 50.0% (including its 2.0% general partner interest), of the cash we distribute in excess of that amount. We refer to these distributions as “incentive distributions.” | ||
We must distribute all of our cash on hand at the end of each quarter, less reserves established by our general partner to provide for the proper conduct of our business, to comply with any applicable debt instruments or to provide funds for future distributions. We refer to this cash as “available cash,” and we define its meaning in our partnership agreement and in the glossary of terms attached asAppendix B. The amount of available cash may be greater than or less than the aggregate amount of the minimum quarterly distributions to be distributed on all units. | ||
The amount of available cash we need to pay the minimum quarterly distributions for four quarters on our common units, |
9
Table of Contents
subordinated units and the 2.0% general partner interest to be outstanding immediately after this offering is $28.0 million. | ||
We believe, based on the estimates contained in and the assumptions listed under “Our Cash Distribution Policy and Restrictions on Distributions — Pro Forma and Forecasted Cash Available for Distribution” and “— Summary of Significant Policies and Forecast Assumptions,” that we will have sufficient cash available for distributions to enable us to pay 100.0% of the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.35 per unit on all of our common and subordinated units for each full quarter through December 31, 2007. | ||
Our pro forma cash available generated during 2005 and the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 would have been sufficient to allow us to pay 100.0% of the minimum quarterly distributions on our common units and 98.8% and 67.4%, respectively, of the minimum quarterly distributions on our subordinated units during those periods. Please read “Our Cash Distribution Policy and Restrictions on Distributions — Pro Forma and Forecasted Cash Available for Distribution.” | ||
Subordinated units | Teekay Shipping Corporation will initially own all of our subordinated units. The principal difference between our common units and subordinated units is that in any quarter during the subordination period, holders of the subordinated units are entitled to receive the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.35 per unit only after the common units have received the minimum quarterly distribution plus any cumulative arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution from prior quarters. Subordinated units will not accrue arrearages. The subordination period generally will end if we have earned and paid at least $1.40 on each outstanding unit and the corresponding distribution on the 2.0% general partner interest for any three consecutive four- quarter periods ending on or after December 31, 2009. The subordination period may also end prior to December 31, 2009, if certain financial tests are met as described below. | |
When the subordination period ends, all subordinated units will convert into common units on a one-for-one basis, and the common units will no longer be entitled to arrearages. | ||
Early conversion of subordinated units | If we have earned and paid at least $2.10 (150.0% of the annualized minimum quarterly distribution) on each outstanding unit for any four-quarter period ending on or before the date of determination, the subordinated units will convert into common units. Please read “How We Make Cash Distributions — Subordination Period.” | |
Issuance of additional units | Our partnership agreement allows us to issue an unlimited number of units without the consent of our unitholders. | |
Limited voting rights | Our general partner will manage and operate us. Unlike the holders of common stock in a corporation, you will have only limited voting rights on matters affecting our business. You will have no right to elect our general partner or the directors of our general partner on an annual or other continuing basis. Our general partner may not be removed except by a vote of the holders of at least 662/3% of the outstanding units, including any units owned by our general partner and its affiliates, voting together as a single class. Upon consummation of this offering, Teekay Shipping Corporation will own an aggregate of |
10
Table of Contents
approximately 64.3% of our common and subordinated units (approximately 58.9% if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional common units in full). This initially will give Teekay Shipping Corporation the ability to prevent removal of our general partner. Please read “The Partnership Agreement — Voting Rights.” | ||
Call right | If at any time our general partner and its affiliates own more than 80.0% of the outstanding common units, our general partner has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the remaining common units at a price equal to the greater of (x) the average of the daily closing prices of the common units over the 20 trading days preceding the date three days before notice of exercise of the call right is first mailed and (y) the highest price paid by our general partner or any of its affiliates for common units during the90-day period preceding the date such notice is first mailed. Our general partner is not obligated to obtain a fairness opinion regarding the value of the common units to be repurchased by it upon the exercise of this limited call right. | |
U.S. federal income tax considerations | Although we are organized as a partnership, we have elected to be taxed as a corporation solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that, under current U.S. federal income tax law, some portion of the distributions you receive from us will constitute dividends, and if you are an individual citizen or resident of the United States or a U.S. estate or trust and meet certain holding period requirements, such dividends are expected to be taxable as “qualified dividend income” currently subject to a maximum 15.0% U.S. federal income tax rate. Other distributions will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of your tax basis in your common units and, thereafter, as capital gain. We estimate that if you hold the common units that you purchase in this offering through the period ending December 31, 2009, the distributions you receive, on a cumulative basis, that will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be approximately 70.0% of the total cash distributions you receive for that period. Please read “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — United States Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Ratio of Dividend Income to Distributions” for the basis and assumptions for this estimate. Please also read “Risk Factors — Tax Risks” for a discussion of proposed legislation regarding qualified dividend income. | |
Exchange listing | Our common units have been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance, under the symbol “TOO.” |

• | A decrease of $17.3 million from the conventional oil tanker segment. During the first six months of 2006, the average number of chartered-in conventional tankers was lower than the same period in 2005. All chartered-in conventional tankers were operated by Navion Shipping Ltd. On July 1, 2006, OPCO transferred Navion Shipping Ltd. to Teekay Shipping Corporation. | |
• | A decrease of $12.2 million from the shuttle tanker segment, primarily due to the sale of two older shuttle tankers in March and October 2005 and a decrease from shuttle tankers servicing contracts of affreightment. In 2006, annual seasonal maintenance of North Sea oil field facilities primarily occurred in the second quarter instead of the third quarter, as is typical and as occurred in 2005. The annual maintenance season results in a decline in oil production on certain oil fields in the North Sea at which OPCO’s shuttle tankers are employed under contracts of affreightment. |
• | A decrease in revenues as stated above. | |
• | Foreign exchange loss of $18.7 million in the first six months of 2006 compared to foreign exchange gain of $25.7 million for the same period in 2005. OPCO’s foreign currency exchange gains and losses, substantially all of which have been unrealized, are due primarily to the period-end revaluation of Norwegian Kroner-denominated advances from affiliates. Prior to the closing of this offering, OPCO’s debt will be in U.S. Dollars, which we believe will reduce the fluctuations in operating results from foreign exchange gains and losses. |

(1) | Voyage expenses are all expenses unique to a particular voyage, including any bunker fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions. |
(2) | Vessel operating expenses include crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lube oils and communication expenses. |
(3) | Substantially all of these foreign currency exchange gains and losses were unrealized and not settled in cash. Under U.S. accounting guidelines, all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, advances from affiliates and deferred income taxes, are revalued and reported based on the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the period. Our primary source for the foreign currency gains and losses is our Norwegian Kroner-denominated advances from affiliates, which totaled $157.6 million at June 30, 2006, $164.6 million at December 31, 2005 and $188.5 million at December 31, 2004. |

• | Financial and operating performance. EBITDA assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of the fundamental performance of OPCO and us from period to period and against the fundamental performance of other companies in our industry that provide EBITDA information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods or companies of interest expense, taxes, depreciation or amortization, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income between periods. We believe that including EBITDA as a financial and operating measure benefits investors in (a) selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (b) monitoring the ongoing financial and operational strength and health of OPCO and us in assessing whether to continue to hold common units. | |
• | Liquidity. EBITDA allows us to assess the ability of assets to generate cash sufficient to service debt, make distributions and undertake capital expenditures. By eliminating the cash flow effect resulting from the existing capitalization of OPCO and other items such as drydocking expenditures, working capital changes and foreign currency exchange gains and losses (which may vary significantly from period to period), EBITDA provides a consistent measure of OPCO’s ability to generate cash over the long term. Management uses this information as a significant factor in determining (a) OPCO’s proper capitalization (including assessing how much debt to incur and whether changes to the capitalization should be made) and (b) whether to undertake material capital expenditures and how to finance them, all in light of existing cash distribution commitments to unitholders. Use of EBITDA as a liquidity measure also permits investors to assess the |

Because our partnership interest in OPCO currently represents our only cash-generating asset, our cash flow initially will depend completely on OPCO’s ability to make distributions to its partners, including us. |
• | the rates its obtains from its charters and contracts of affreightment; | |
• | the price and level of production of, and demand for, crude oil, particularly the level of production at the offshore oil fields OPCO services under contracts of affreightment; | |
• | the level of its operating costs, such as the cost of crews and insurance; | |
• | the number of off-hire days for its fleet and the timing of, and number of days required for, drydocking of its vessels; | |
• | the rates, if any, at which OPCO may be able to redeploy shuttle tankers in the spot market as conventional oil tankers during any periods of reduced or terminated oil production at fields serviced by contracts of affreightment; | |
• | delays in the delivery of any newbuildings or vessels undergoing conversion and the beginning of payments under charters relating to those vessels; | |
• | prevailing global and regional economic and political conditions; | |
• | currency exchange rate fluctuations; and | |
• | the effect of governmental regulations and maritime self-regulatory organization standards on the conduct of its business. |
• | the level of capital expenditures it makes, including for maintaining vessels or converting existing vessels for other uses and complying with regulations; | |
• | its debt service requirements and restrictions on distributions contained in its debt instruments; | |
• | fluctuations in its working capital needs; | |
• | its ability to make working capital borrowings; and | |
• | the amount of any cash reserves, including reserves for future maintenance capital expenditures, working capital and other matters, established by the board of directors of our general partner. |

Table of Contents
We may not have sufficient cash from operations to enable us to pay the minimum quarterly distribution on our common units or to increase distributions. |
• | interest expense and principal payments on any indebtedness we incur; | |
• | restrictions on distributions contained in any of our current or future debt agreements; | |
• | fees and expenses of us, our general partner, its affiliates or third parties we are required to reimburse or pay, including expenses we will incur as a result of being a public company; and | |
• | reserves our general partner believes are prudent for us to maintain for the proper conduct of our business or to provide for future distributions. |
The assumptions underlying our estimate of cash available for distribution that we include in “Our Cash Distribution Policy and Restrictions on Distributions” are inherently uncertain and are subject to significant business, economic, financial, regulatory and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forecasted. |
19
Table of Contents
Our ability to grow may be adversely affected by our cash distribution policy. OPCO’s ability to meet its financial needs and grow may be adversely affected by its cash distribution policy. |
OPCO must make substantial capital expenditures to maintain the operating capacity of its fleet, which will reduce cash available for distribution. In addition, each quarter our general partner is required to deduct estimated maintenance capital expenditures from operating surplus, which may result in less cash available to unitholders than if actual maintenance capital expenditures were deducted. |
• | the cost of labor and materials; | |
• | customer requirements; | |
• | increases in fleet size or the cost of replacement vessels; | |
• | governmental regulations and maritime self-regulatory organization standards relating to safety, security or the environment; and | |
• | competitive standards. |
20
Table of Contents
We will be required to make substantial capital expenditures to expand the size of our fleet. We generally will be required to make significant installment payments for acquisitions of newbuilding vessels or for the conversion of existing vessels prior to their delivery and generation of revenue. Depending on whether we finance our expenditures through cash from operations or by issuing debt or equity securities, our ability to make cash distributions may be diminished or our financial leverage could increase or our unitholders could be diluted. |
21
Table of Contents
OPCO’s substantial debt levels may limit its or our flexibility in obtaining additional financing, pursuing other business opportunities and paying distributions to you. |
• | our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes may be impaired or such financing may not be available on favorable terms; | |
• | we will need a substantial portion of our cash flow to make principal and interest payments on our debt, reducing the funds that would otherwise be available for operations, future business opportunities and distributions to unitholders; | |
• | our debt level will make us more vulnerable than our competitors with less debt to competitive pressures or a downturn in our business or the economy generally; and | |
• | our debt level may limit our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions. |
Financing agreements containing operating and financial restrictions may restrict OPCO’s and our business and financing activities. |
• | incur or guarantee indebtedness; | |
• | change ownership or structure, including mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; | |
• | make dividends or distributions; | |
• | make certain negative pledges and grant certain liens; | |
• | sell, transfer, assign or convey assets; | |
• | make certain investments; and | |
• | enter into a new line of business. |
22
Table of Contents
Restrictions in OPCO’s debt agreements may prevent it or us from paying distributions. |
• | failure to pay any principal, interest, fees, expenses or other amounts when due; | |
• | failure to notify the lenders of any material oil spill or discharge of hazardous material, or of any action or claim related thereto; | |
• | breach or lapse of any insurance with respect to the vessels; | |
• | breach of certain financial covenants; | |
• | failure to observe any other agreement, security instrument, obligation or covenant beyond specified cure periods in certain cases; | |
• | default under other indebtedness; | |
• | bankruptcy or insolvency events; | |
• | failure of any representation or warranty to be materially correct; | |
• | a change of control, as defined in the applicable agreement; and | |
• | a material adverse effect, as defined in the applicable agreement, occurs. |
Net voyage revenues for Teekay Offshore Partners Predecessor declined for the first half of 2006 compared to the first half of 2005. |
• | a decrease in the number of chartered-in conventional oil tankers held by an entity that OPCO sold to Teekay Shipping Corporation on July 1, 2006; and | |
• | reduced volumes transported under contracts of affreightment during the second quarter of 2006 due to earlier-than-normal annual maintenance of certain North Sea oil field facilities, which typically occurs in the third quarter. |
OPCO derives a substantial majority of its revenues from a limited number of customers, and the loss of any such customers could result in a significant loss of revenues and cash flow. |
23
Table of Contents
We will depend on Teekay Shipping Corporation to assist us and OPCO in operating our businesses and competing in our markets. In the past, OPCO generally fulfilled its own managerial, operational and administrative needs. |
• | renew existing charters and contracts of affreightment upon their expiration; | |
• | obtain new charters and contracts of affreightment; | |
• | successfully interact with shipyards during periods of shipyard construction constraints; | |
• | obtain financing on commercially acceptable terms; or | |
• | maintain satisfactory relationships with suppliers and other third parties. |
24
Table of Contents
Our growth depends on continued growth in demand for offshore oil transportation, processing and storage services. |
• | decreases in the actual or projected price of oil, which could lead to a reduction in or termination of production of oil at certain fields we service or a reduction in exploration for or development of new offshore oil fields; | |
• | increases in the production of oil in areas linked by pipelines to consuming areas, the extension of existing, or the development of new, pipeline systems in markets we may serve, or the conversion of existing non-oil pipelines to oil pipelines in those markets; | |
• | decreases in the consumption of oil due to increases in its price relative to other energy sources, other factors making consumption of oil less attractive or energy conservation measures; | |
• | availability of new, alternative energy sources; and | |
• | negative global or regional economic or political conditions, particularly in oil consuming regions, which could reduce energy consumption or its growth. |
Because payments under OPCO’s contracts of affreightment are based on the volume of oil it transports, OPCO’s utilization of its shuttle tanker fleet and the success of its shuttle tanker business depends upon continued production from existing or new oil fields it services, which is beyond our or OPCO’s control and generally declines naturally over time. Any decrease in the volume of oil OPCO transports under contracts of affreightment could adversely affect our business and operating results. |

The duration of many of OPCO’s shuttle tanker and FSO contracts is the life of the relevant oil field or is subject to extension by the field operator or vessel charterer. If the oil field no longer produces oil or is abandoned or the contract term is not extended, OPCO will no longer generate revenue under the related contract and will need to seek to redeploy affected vessels. |
The results of OPCO’s shuttle tanker operations in the North Sea are subject to seasonal fluctuations. |
Our growth depends on our ability to expand relationships with existing customers and obtain new customers, for which we will face substantial competition. |
• | industry relationships and reputation for customer service and safety; | |
• | experience and quality of ship operations; | |
• | quality, experience and technical capability of the crew; | |
• | relationships with shipyards and the ability to get suitable berths; | |
• | construction management experience, including the ability to obtain on-time delivery of new vessels according to customer specifications; | |
• | willingness to accept operational risks pursuant to the charter, such as allowing termination of the charter for force majeure events; and | |
• | competitiveness of the bid in terms of overall price. |

Delays in deliveries of newbuilding vessels or of conversions of existing vessels could harm our operating results. |
• | quality or engineering problems, the risk of which may be increased with FPSO units due to their technical complexity; | |
• | changes in governmental regulations or maritime self-regulatory organization standards; | |
• | work stoppages or other labor disturbances at the shipyard; | |

• | weather interference or catastrophic event, such as a major earthquake or fire; | |
• | requests for changes to the original vessel specifications; | |
• | shortages of or delays in the receipt of necessary construction materials, such as steel; | |
• | inability to finance the construction or conversion of the vessels; or | |
• | inability to obtain requisite permits or approvals. |
Charter rates for conventional oil tankers may fluctuate substantially over time and may be lower when we are or OPCO is attempting to recharter conventional oil tankers, which could adversely affect operating results. Any changes in charter rates for shuttle tankers or FSO or FPSO units could also adversely affect redeployment opportunities for those vessels. |

Over time, vessel values may fluctuate substantially and, if these values are lower at a time when we are or OPCO is attempting to dispose of vessels, we or OPCO may incur a loss. |
• | prevailing economic conditions in oil and energy markets; | |
• | a substantial or extended decline in demand for oil; | |
• | increases in the supply of vessel capacity; and | |
• | the cost of retrofitting or modifying existing vessels, as a result of technological advances in vessel design or equipment, changes in applicable environmental or other regulations or standards, or otherwise. |
We may be unable to make or realize expected benefits from acquisitions, and implementing our growth strategy through acquisitions may harm our business, financial condition and operating results. |
• | fail to realize anticipated benefits, such as new customer relationships, cost-savings or cash flow enhancements; | |
• | be unable to hire, train or retain qualified shore and seafaring personnel to manage and operate our growing business and fleet; | |
• | decrease our liquidity by using a significant portion of available cash or borrowing capacity to finance acquisitions; | |

Exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations will result in fluctuations in cash flows and operating results. |
Our lack of experience in FPSO operations and reliance on Petrojarl ASA could affect our ability to enter and operate in the FPSO sector. |
The redeployment risk of FPSO units is high given their lack of alternative uses and significant costs. |

Rationale for Our Cash Distribution Policy |
Limitations on Cash Distributions and Our Ability to Change Our Cash Distribution Policy |
• | Our unitholders have no contractual or other legal right to receive distributions other than the obligation under our partnership agreement to distribute available cash on a quarterly basis, which is subject to our general partner’s broad discretion to establish reserves and other limitations. | |
• | The board of directors of OPCO’s general partner, Teekay Offshore Operating GP L.L.C. (subject to approval by the board of directors of our general partner), has authority to establish reserves for the prudent conduct of OPCO’s business. The establishment of these reserves could result in a reduction in cash distributions to you from levels we currently anticipate pursuant to our stated distribution policy. | |
• | While our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all of our available cash, our partnership agreement, including provisions requiring us to make cash distributions contained therein, may be amended. Although during the subordination period, with certain exceptions, our partnership agreement may not be amended without the approval of non-affiliated common unitholders, our partnership agreement can be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding common units after the subordination period has ended. At the closing of this offering, Teekay Shipping Corporation will own 28.6% of the outstanding common units and 100.0% of the outstanding subordinated units. | |
• | Even if our cash distribution policy is not modified or revoked, the amount of distributions we pay under our cash distribution policy and the decision to make any distribution is determined by the board of directors of our general partner, taking into consideration the terms of our partnership agreement. | |
• | Under Section 51 of the Marshall Islands Limited Partnership Act, we may not make a distribution to you if distribution would cause our liabilities to exceed the fair value of our assets. | |
• | We may lack sufficient cash to pay distributions to our unitholders due to decreases in net voyage revenues or increases in operating expenses, principal and interest payments on outstanding debt, tax expenses, working capital requirements, maintenance capital expenditures or anticipated cash needs. | |
• | Our distribution policy will be affected by restrictions on distributions under OPCO’s credit facility agreements, which contain material financial tests and covenants that must be satisfied. These financial tests and covenants are described in this prospectus in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — |
47
Table of Contents
Covenants and Other Restrictions in Our Financing Agreements.” Should OPCO be unable to satisfy these restrictions included in the credit agreements or if OPCO is otherwise in default under the credit agreements, it would be prohibited from making cash distributions to us, which would materially hinder our ability to make cash distributions to you, notwithstanding our stated cash distribution policy. | ||
• | If we make distributions out of capital surplus, as opposed to operating surplus, such distributions will constitute a return of capital and will result in a reduction in the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels. We do not anticipate that we will make any distributions from capital surplus. |
Our Ability to Grow Depends on Our and OPCO’s Ability to Access External Expansion Capital |

(3) | Our partnership agreement requires that an estimate of the maintenance capital expenditures necessary to maintain our asset base be subtracted from operating surplus each quarter, as opposed to amounts actually spent. Because our interest in OPCO will represent our only cash-generating asset upon the closing of this offering, an estimate of its maintenance capital expenditures is more meaningful. The board of directors of our general partner, Teekay Offshore GP L.L.C., will approve the amount of OPCO’s reserves for maintenance capital expenditures and other purposes. Our initial estimated maintenance capital expenditures for OPCO are $73.9 million per year. The amount of estimated maintenance capital expenditures attributable to future drydocking expenses is based on the |
62
Table of Contents
average annual anticipated drydocking over the remaining useful lives of OPCO’s vessels. The actual cost of maintenance capital expenditures, including for drydocking, vessel replacement and other items, will depend on a number of factors, including, among others, prevailing market conditions, charter hire rates and the availability and cost of financing at the time of vessel replacement. We may elect to fund some or all maintenance capital expenditures through the issuance of additional common units, which may be dilutive to existing unitholders. Please read “Risk Factors — Risks Inherent in Our Business — OPCO must make substantial capital expenditures to maintain the operating capacity of its fleet, which will reduce cash available for distribution. In addition, each quarter our general partner is required to deduct estimated maintenance capital expenditures from operating surplus, which may result in less cash available to unitholders than if actual maintenance capital expenditures were deducted.” | |
(4) | Assumes the underwriters’ option to purchase additional common units is not exercised. The net proceeds from any exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional common units will be used to redeem common units from Teekay Shipping Corporation. The number of units redeemed would equal the number of units for which the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option. |
(5) | Represents the amount required to fund distributions to our unitholders and our general partner for four quarters based upon our minimum quarterly distribution rate of $0.35 per unit. |

• | it will reduce the risk that actual maintenance capital expenditures in any one quarter will be large enough to make operating surplus less than the minimum quarterly distribution to be paid on all the units for that quarter and subsequent quarters; | |
• | it will reduce the need for us to borrow to pay distributions; | |
• | it will be more difficult for us to raise our distribution above the minimum quarterly distribution and pay incentive distributions to our general partner; and | |
• | it will reduce the likelihood that a large maintenance capital expenditure in a period will prevent our general partner’s affiliates from being able to convert some or all of their subordinated units into common units since the effect of an estimate is to spread the expected expense over several periods, mitigating the effect of the actual payment of the expenditure on any single period. |

(1) | Voyage expenses are all expenses unique to a particular voyage, including any bunker fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions. |
(2) | Vessel operating expenses include crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lube oils and communication expenses. |
(3) | Substantially all of these foreign currency exchange gains and losses were unrealized and not settled in cash. Under U.S. accounting guidelines, all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, advances from affiliates and deferred income taxes, are revalued and reported based on the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the period. Our primary source for the foreign currency gains and losses is our Norwegian Kroner-denominated advances from affiliates, which totaled $157.6 million at June 30, 2006, $164.6 million at December 31, 2005 and $188.5 million at December 31, 2004. |

• | Financial and operating performance. EBITDA assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of the fundamental performance of OPCO and us from period to period and against the fundamental performance of other companies in our industry that provide EBITDA information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods or companies of interest expense, taxes, depreciation or amortization, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income between periods. We believe that including EBITDA as a financial and operating measure benefits investors in (a) selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives and (b) monitoring the ongoing financial and operational strength and health of OPCO and us in assessing whether to continue to hold common units. | |
• | Liquidity. EBITDA allows us to assess the ability of assets to generate cash sufficient to service debt, make distributions and undertake capital expenditures. By eliminating the cash flow effect |

Table of Contents
resulting from the existing capitalization of OPCO and other items such as drydocking expenditures, working capital changes and foreign currency exchange gains and losses (which may vary significantly from period to period), EBITDA provides a consistent measure of OPCO’s ability to generate cash over the long term. Management uses this information as a significant factor in determining (a) OPCO’s proper capitalization (including assessing how much debt to incur and whether changes to the capitalization should be made) and (b) whether to undertake material capital expenditures and how to finance them, all in light of existing cash distribution commitments to unitholders. Use of EBITDA as a liquidity measure also permits investors to assess the fundamental ability of OPCO and us to generate cash sufficient to meet cash needs, including distributions on our common units. |

• | Time charters, whereby vessels OPCO operates and is responsible for crewing are chartered to customers for a fixed period of time at rates that are generally fixed, but may contain a variable component based on inflation, interest rates or current market rates; | |
• | Bareboat charters, whereby customers charter vessels for a fixed period of time at rates that are generally fixed, but the customers operate the vessels with their own crews; and | |
• | Voyage charters, which are charters for shorter intervals that are priced on a current, or “spot,” market rate. |

• | Crews. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, crews represented 54.7%, 60.9% and 54.2% of vessel operating expenses for the shuttle tanker, FSO and conventional tanker segments, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2005, these percentages were 50.8%, 65.6% and 52.7% for those respective segments. A substantial majority of OPCO’s crewing expenses have been denominated in Norwegian Kroner, which is primarily a function of the nationality of the crew. Fluctuations in the Norwegian Kroner relative to the U.S. Dollar have caused fluctuations in operating results. However, prior to the closing this offering OPCO will enter into new services agreements with subsidiaries of Teekay Shipping Corporation whereby the subsidiaries will operate and crew OPCO’s vessels. Under these service agreements, OPCO will pay all vessel operating expenses in U.S. Dollars and will not be subject to currency exchange fluctuations prior to 2009. Beginning in 2009, payments under the service agreements will adjust to reflect any change in Teekay Shipping Corporation’s cost of providing services based on fluctuations in the value of the Norwegian Kroner relative to the U.S. Dollar. We may seek to hedge this currency fluctuation risk in the future. | |
• | Repairs and Maintenance. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, repairs and maintenance represented 31.5%, 22.6% and 34.1% of vessel operating expenses for the shuttle tanker, FSO and conventional tanker segments, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2005, these percentages were 29.2%, 16.7% and 32.3% for those respective segments. Expenses for repairs and maintenance tend to fluctuate from period to period because most repairs and maintenance typically occur during periodic drydockings. Please read “Drydocking” below. We expect these expenses to increase as the fleet matures and expands, particularly to the extent we acquire vessels directly through our wholly owned subsidiaries rather than through OPCO. |

• | charges related to the depreciation of the historical cost of OPCO’s fleet (less an estimated residual value) over the estimated useful lives of the vessels; | |
• | charges related to the amortization of drydocking expenditures over the estimated number of years to the next scheduled drydocking; and | |
• | charges related to the amortization of the fair value of contracts of affreightment where amounts have been attributed to those items in acquisitions; these amounts are amortized over the period the asset is expected to contribute to future cash flows. |

• | Our cash flow will be reduced by distributions on Teekay Shipping Corporation’s interest in OPCO. Following the closing of this offering, Teekay Shipping Corporation will own a 74% limited partner interest in OPCO. OPCO’s partnership agreement requires it to distribute all of its available cash each quarter. In determining the amount of cash available for distribution, the board of directors of our general partner must approve the amount of cash reserves to be set aside, including reserves for future maintenance capital expenditures, working capital and other matters. Distributions to Teekay Shipping Corporation will reduce our cash flow compared to historical results. | |
• | On July 1, 2006, OPCO transferred certain assets to Teekay Shipping Corporation that are included in historical results of operations. On July 1, 2006, OPCO transferred to Teekay Shipping Corporation a subsidiary of Norsk Teekay Holdings Ltd. (Navion Shipping Ltd.) that chartered-in approximately 25 conventional tankers since 2004 and subsequently time-chartered the vessels back to Teekay Shipping Corporation at charter rates that provided for a 1.25% fixed profit margin. In addition, OPCO transferred to Teekay Shipping Corporation a 1987-built shuttle tanker (theNordic Trym), OPCO’s single anchor loading equipment, a 1992-built in-chartered shuttle tanker (theBorga) and a 50% interest in Alta Shipping S.A., which has no material assets (collectively with Navion Shipping Ltd., theNon-OPCO Assets). In 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Non-OPCO Assets accounted for approximately 31.3% and 26.0%, respectively, of OPCO’s net voyage revenues. Please read the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and related notes of Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. included elsewhere in this prospectus for further details regarding the impact of the transfer of the Non-OPCO Assets. | |
• | Proposed amendments to OPCO’s joint venture agreements would result in five 50%-owned joint venture companies being consolidated with us under GAAP. Our historical results of operations reflect OPCO’s investment in five 50%-owned joint venture companies, accounted for using the equity method, whereby the investment is carried at the original cost plus OPCO’s proportionate share of undistributed earnings. Prior to the closing of this offering, we anticipate that the operating agreements for these joint ventures will be amended such that OPCO will have unilateral control of these joint ventures, which would require consolidation of these five joint venture companies in accordance with GAAP. Although our net income would not change due to this change in accounting, the results of the joint ventures would be reflected in our income from operations. This change would also cause the five shuttle tankers owned by these joint ventures to be included in the size of OPCO’s owned fleet for purposes of explaining future results of operations. | |
• | The size of OPCO’s fleet continues to change.Our historical results of operations reflect changes in the size and composition of OPCO’s fleet due to certain vessel deliveries and vessel dispositions. For instance, in addition to the decrease in chartered-in vessels associated with the transfer of Navion Shipping Ltd. described above, the average number of owned vessels in OPCO’s shuttle tanker fleet (excluding the five joint venture vessels) decreased from 24.5 during 2004 to 21.0 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, while the number of chartered-in vessels in the shuttle tanker fleet increased from 13.4 to 14.1 during the same periods. Upon the closing of this offering, the number of owned shuttle tankers is expected to be 24.0 — excluding two vessels that have been sold and including the five joint venture vessels, assuming consolidation of the joint ventures as discussed above — and the number of chartered-in shuttle tankers is expected to be 12.0 — excluding one older vessel under a charter that OPCO did not renew, one joint venture vessel under |

a charter that will be consolidated and one older vessel that will be transferred to Teekay Shipping Corporation. Upon the closing of this offering, OPCO will initially own nine conventional tankers compared to an average of over 10.0 tankers during most of the past two years. In addition, theNavion Sagais being converted from a conventional oil tanker to an FSO unit. When it commences operations as an FSO unit, scheduled for the second quarter of 2007, OPCO’s FSO fleet will include four vessels, compared to three during recent years. Please read “— Results of Operations” below for further details about vessel dispositions and deliveries. Due to the nature of our business, we expect our fleet to continue to fluctuate in size and composition. | ||
• | Our historical results of operations reflect different time charter terms for OPCO’s nine conventional tankers. Prior to the closing of this offering, OPCO will enter into new fixed-rate time charters with a subsidiary of Teekay Shipping Corporation for OPCO’s nine conventional tankers at rates we believe are market-based charter rates. Please read “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Aframax Tanker Time-Charter Contracts With Teekay Shipping Corporation.” At various times during the previous three years, eight of these nine conventional tankers were employed on time charters with the same subsidiary of Teekay Shipping Corporation. However, the charter rates were lower, as they were based on the cash flow requirements of each vessel, which included operating expenses, loan principal and interest payments and drydock expenditures, such that OPCO achieved break-even cash flow. A ninth conventional tanker traded on voyage charters. The new fixed-rate time charters should provide additional, more stable voyage revenues for these vessels. Please read the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and related notes of Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. included elsewhere in this prospectus for further details regarding the impact of these new time charters. | |
• | Our historical results of operations are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Prior to the closing of this offering, we will repay our foreign currency denominated advances from affiliates. As at June 30, 2006, these advances, all from Teekay Shipping Corporation, amounted to 1.0 billion Norwegian Kroner ($157.6 million) and 25.5 million Australian Dollars ($18.9 million). Under U.S. GAAP, all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, advances from affiliates and deferred income taxes are revalued and reported based on the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the period. Most of our foreign currency gains and losses are attributable to this revaluation in respect of our foreign currency denominated advances from affiliates. In addition, a substantial majority of OPCO’s crewing expenses historically have been denominated in Norwegian Kroners, which is primarily a function of the nationality of the crew. Fluctuations in the Norwegian Kroner relative to the U.S. Dollar have caused fluctuations in operating results. Prior to the closing of this offering, OPCO’s operating subsidiaries will enter into new services agreements with certain subsidiaries of Teekay Shipping Corporation whereby the Teekay Shipping Corporation subsidiaries will operate and crew the vessels. Under these service agreements, OPCO’s operating subsidiaries will pay all vessel operating expenses in U.S. Dollars, and will not be subject to currency exchange fluctuations prior to 2009. Beginning in 2009, payments under the service agreements will adjust to reflect any change in the cost to the Teekay Shipping Corporation subsidiaries of providing services based on fluctuations in the value of the Kroner relative to the U.S. Dollar. We may seek to hedge this currency fluctuation risk in the future. Please read “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Advisory and Administrative Services Agreements” for a description of these service agreements. | |
• | We will incur additional general and administrative expenses. Prior to the closing of this offering, we, OPCO and its operating subsidiaries will enter into services agreements with certain subsidiaries of Teekay Shipping Corporation, pursuant to which those subsidiaries will provide to us and OPCO administrative services and to OPCO’s operating subsidiaries certain services, including strategic consulting, advisory, ship management, technical and administrative services. Our cost for these services will depend on the amount and type of services provided during each period. The services will be valued at a reasonable, arm’s-length rate that will include reimbursement of reasonable |

Table of Contents
direct or indirect expenses incurred to provide the services. We will also reimburse our general partner for all expenses it incurs on our behalf, including CEO/ CFO compensation and expenses relating to its board of directors, including compensation, travel, and liability insurance costs. In addition, we will incur expenses as a result of being a publicly-traded limited partnership, including costs associated with annual reports to unitholders and SEC filings, investor relations, NYSE annual listing fees and tax compliance expenses. For the year ending December 31, 2007, we estimate these services and general partner reimbursements and public-company costs will increase our expenses by an additional $1.5 million. Please read the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and related notes of Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. included elsewhere in this prospectus for further details regarding the estimated impact of these additional expenses. We may also grant equity compensation that would result in an expense to us, which may result in an increase in expenses, although we currently do not have an estimate of the possible expense. Please read “Management — 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan.” |

Ship Financing Arrangements |
• | Term Loans. OPCO has a 50.0% interest in five joint venture companies, each of which owns one shuttle tanker. The vessels in the joint venture have been financed with term loans that are secured by first-priority mortgages on the vessels and related collateral. Either OPCO or one of its subsidiaries guarantees 50.0% of the term loans. | |
• | Revolving Credit Facilities. OPCO and one of its subsidiaries financed the purchases of certain vessels with long-term revolving credit facilities that are secured by first-priority mortgages on certain vessels and related collateral. We amended or replaced these facilities, as discussed below. |
Credit Facilities |
• | Amended Revolving Credit Facility. This8-year amended reducing revolving credit facility allows OPCO and it subsidiaries to borrow up to $455 million and may be used for acquisitions and for general partnership purposes. Obligations under this credit facility are secured by first-priority mortgages on eight shuttle tankers and one FSO unit. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin and may be prepaid at any time in amounts of not less than $5.0 million. | |
• | New Revolving Credit Facility. The new8-year reducing revolving credit facility allows for borrowing of up to $940 million and may be used for acquisitions and for general partnership purposes. Obligations under this credit facility are secured by first-priority mortgages in 11 shuttle tankers and 8 conventional tankers. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin and may be prepaid at any time in amounts of not less than $5.0 million. OPCO’s new credit facility allows it to make working capital borrowings and loan the proceeds to us (which we could use to make distributions, provided that such amounts are paid down annually). |

Infrastructure for Offshore Oil Field Production |
• | the number, location and type of wells required to efficiently produce the field’s reserves, which are determined by several factors, including the geology of the reservoir and its depth; | |
• | the production system required to produce the field’s reserves, which is determined by a number of factors, including the water depth, geography, surrounding infrastructure and the size and content of the discovery. Depending on these factors, the production system could be a fixed installation (i.e., attached to the ocean floor), floating or both; and | |
• | the processing, storage and transportation systems required to handle the field’s production and economically bring the oil to market, including the decision to use pipelines or shuttle tankers for transportation. |
109
Table of Contents
• | offloading and transportation of cargo from oil field installations to onshore terminals via dynamically-positioned offshore loading shuttle tankers; and | |
• | floating storage for oil field installations via FSO units. |
Overview |
• | Field operators can avoid expensive pipeline installations and tariff regimes. Shuttle tankers can therefore represent a more favorable cost solution than pipelines, especially in cases where offshore oil fields are located in deep water or remote locations with fields expected to have shorter production lives. | |
• | Shuttle tankers can lift and transport oil from several loading facilities and transport the cargo to any port directed by the customer, thus providing destination flexibility versus a pipeline, which has dedicated receiving terminals. | |
• | Pipeline grids, unlike shuttle tankers, often blend crude oil with varying qualities from different fields. A field operator can often achieve a better price if a cargo is sold as unblended. Field operators also have the option to segregate different crude qualities on board the shuttle tanker, which is not possible with pipelines. | |
• | Major shuttle tanker operators have backup vessels if the primary vessel goes “off-hire” for maintenance or repair. If a pipeline network requires maintenance or repair, the network may be shut down, interrupting the supply of oil from an installation. |

Table of Contents
Unique Attributes of Shuttle Tankers |
• | Design. Shuttle tankers are designed with variable pitch propellers and side thrusters, higher cargo pumping capability, dynamic positioning systems, specific loading systems for loading cargo at offshore facilities, reinforced hull design for fatigue prevention, and a wide range of area/customer specific equipment and systems. | |
• | Voyage Length. Shuttle tanker voyages are typically short-haul to regional terminals and refineries, while conventional oil tankers traditionally trade on longer-haul voyages. The short voyages, continual loading operations and unique systems give rise to far more complex technical and performance issues for shuttle tankers than conventional tankers. | |
• | Stringent Standards. The shuttle tanker industry is affected by standards and regulations applicable to the offshore industry, certain of which are more stringent than those applicable to conventional oil tankers. | |
• | Nature of Contracts. Shuttle tankers are an integrated part of an offshore field development project and a critical part of the logistics chain of a field. As a result, cooperation between the |
111
Table of Contents
shuttle tanker operator and the field operator is much closer than in the case of conventional tanker business, and there are usually long-term contractual arrangements between the field operator and shuttle tanker owner to lift the production from an oil field installation. By contrast, the conventional tanker market is predominantly conducted on short-term contracts, typically for one or a few voyages. | ||
• | Specialized Crewing and Staff. The workload for the crew onboard and for shore-based personnel for offshore operations is higher compared to conventional shipping, given the shorter voyage lengths and additional complexity of offshore loading operations. Maneuvering and safe handling of shuttle tankers in close proximity to offshore installations, operating the loading and dynamic positioning systems, and complying with additional offshore regulations and practices require highly skilled crew. Tailor-made training, including extensive simulator training, is an integral part of the shuttle tanker business. In addition to the normal maritime certificates for deck officers, a shuttle tanker dynamic positioning operator must qualify for a dedicated dynamic positioning certificate. |
Offshore Loading System |
• | Single Point Mooring (SPM). SPM was the first system introduced in the North Sea and allows a shuttle tanker to weathervane, or position the vessel in order to be less affected by the weather conditions, around a mooring point such as a floating buoy anchored to the seabed. In the 1970s, the first SPM systems relied on a taut hawser operation, in which a hawser is connected to the export system and the vessel reverses, which creates tension on the hawser. Tug or standby vessel assistance is often required under a taut hawser arrangement. A hose from the export system is then connected to the loading system on the vessel. The introduction of dynamic positioning systems in the early 1980s significantly reduced wear-and-tear on equipment related to SPM operations. |
112
Table of Contents
• | Ugland Kongsberg Offshore Loading System (OLS). In 1986, OLS was introduced as a considerably less expensive system than the traditional SPM buoys. While SPM allowed for a taut hawser operation, OLS systems were the first to be totally dependant on the dynamic positioning system of a shuttle tanker. |
• | Submerged Turret Loading (STL). Introduced in 1994, STL consists of a submerged buoy that is pulled through a cone-shaped turret located on the keel of the shuttle tanker. The loading hose runs through the buoy to a rotating connector, allowing the ship to weathervane freely. STL is deployed in the most extreme weather conditions, such as those off Northwest Europe. This export system does not operate with a bow loading system. |
• | Single Anchor Loading (SAL). Introduced in the late 1990s, SAL provides a simple, cost effective export solution used primarily in shallow waters. A SAL system consists of a single anchor on the seabed with equipment for mooring and oil transfer to shuttle tankers. |
• | Tandem Loading. In a tandem loading operation, shuttle tankers connect to the stern of an FPSO unit or FSO unit. The first tandem operation was carried out in 1991. Dynamic positioning systems continuously monitor the movements and relative positions of the two units. |
113

Dynamic Positioning System |
• | wider operating range, including the capability to load in conditions with up to 17 foot significant wave height (a measure of average wave height that corresponds to approximately 30 foot maximum wave height); and | |
• | less risk of damage and wear and tear both to the field export system and the vessels’ loading systems since no heavy loads are introduced to the system during loading. |

• | Shuttle Tankers. OPCO is the world’s largest owner and operator of shuttle tankers, with a fleet consisting of 36 vessels, 24 of which are owned fully or jointly and 12 of which are chartered-in. All of the shuttle tankers operate under contracts of affreightment for various offshore oil fields or under fixed-rate time charter or bareboat charter contracts for specific oil field installations. The majority of the contract of affreightment volumes arelife-of-field, which, according to data provided by Wood MacKenzie Ltd. (orWoodMac), have a weighted-average remaining life of 16 years. The time charter and bareboat charters have an average remaining contract term of approximately 6 years. | |
• | FSO Units. OPCO has a fleet of four FSO units. All of the FSO units operate under fixed-rate contracts, with an average remaining term of approximately 5 years. | |
• | Conventional Tankers. OPCO has a fleet of nine Aframax-class conventional crude oil tankers. The conventional tankers all have fixed-rate time charters with Teekay Shipping Corporation, with an average remaining term of approximately 8 years. |

• | Growing offshore oil production.According to Douglas-Westwood, offshore oil production is forecast to grow from approximately 33% of global oil production in 2005 to approximately 37% by 2015. Douglas-Westwood also forecasts that deepwater oil production will increase from approximately 3 million barrels per day in 2005 to over 8 million in 2015, and that approximately 25% of offshore oil will come from deep waters in 2015 compared to just 12% in 2005, and after 2010 all global offshore oil production growth will be from deep waters. We believe demand for shuttle tankers and FPSO units will increase from this forecasted growth in deepwater offshore oil production because production from deep waters and remote areas may be expensive or technically demanding to transport via pipeline. In addition, oil production from deep waters may be costly or not technically feasible for fixed production platforms, which creates opportunities for the deployment of floating production units. | |
• | Increased outsourcing of offshore services.We believe there is a growing trend among oil field operators to outsource to independent contractors offshore transportation, processing and storage functions. For instance, Teekay Shipping Corporation was chosen by Statoil ASA, Norway’s largest energy company, to purchase its shuttle tanker operation in 2003. In addition, according to International Maritime Associates, approximately 58% of the FPSO units installed since 2001 and approximately 67% of the FPSO units on order as of July 2006 are owned by independent FPSO contractors. We also believe there is a growing number of smaller oil companies entering the offshore sector, as oil demand and prices drive future exploration and production. Smaller oil companies generally outsource their offshore service requirements due to capital expenditure constraints and lack of in-house expertise. These smaller companies are primarily focused on marginal or remote projects that favor the employment of shuttle tankers, FSO units and FPSO units. | |
• | Customer demand for dependable and integrated solutions.Many new and existing offshore projects, particularly those located in deep waters or remote locations, require a combination of the types of offshore services OPCO provides. Moreover, the major oil companies are highly selective in their choice of contractors due to the high level of capital investment and the requirement for uninterrupted production from the oil fields. We believe we can bundle services and offer a reliable, integrated “one-stop-shop” solution for customers in the offshore sector. |
• | Leading position in the shuttle tanker sector.OPCO is the world’s largest owner and operator of shuttle tankers, as it owned or operated 36 of the 58 vessels in the world shuttle tanker fleet as at November 1, 2006. OPCO’s large fleet size ensures that it can provide comprehensive coverage of |

Table of Contents
charterers’ requirements and provides opportunities to enhance the efficiency of operations and increase fleet utilization. | ||
• | Offshore operational expertise and enhanced growth opportunities through our relationship with Teekay Shipping Corporation. Teekay Shipping Corporation has achieved a global brand name in the shipping industry and the offshore market, developed an extensive network of long-standing relationships with major energy companies and earned a reputation for reliability, safety and excellence. Some benefits we expect to receive due to our relationship with Teekay Shipping Corporation include: |
• | access through services agreements to its comprehensive market intelligence and operational and technical sophistication gained from over 25 years of providing shuttle tanker services and FSO services to offshore energy customers. We believe this expertise will also assist us in successfully expanding into the FPSO sector through Teekay Shipping Corporation’s control of and joint venture with Petrojarl ASA and our rights to participate in certain FPSO projects under the omnibus agreement; | |
• | access to Teekay Shipping Corporation’s general commercial and financial core competencies, practices and systems, which we believe will enhance the efficiency and quality of operations; | |
• | enhanced growth opportunities and added competitiveness in bidding for transportation requirements for offshore projects and in attracting and retaining long-term contracts throughout the world; and | |
• | improved leverage with leading shipyards during periods of vessel production constraints, which are anticipated over the next few years, due to Teekay Shipping Corporation’s established relationships with these shipyards and the high number of newbuilding orders it places. |
• | Cash flow stability from contracts with leading energy companies. We benefit from stability in cash flows due to the long-term, fixed-rate contracts underlying most of OPCO’s business. OPCO is able to secure long-term contracts because its services are an integrated part of offshore oil field projects and a critical part of the logistics chain of the fields. Due to the integrated nature of OPCO’s services, the high cost of field development and the need for uninterrupted oil production, contractual relationships with customers with respect to any given field typically last until the field is no longer producing. | |
• | Disciplined vessel acquisition strategy and successful project execution. OPCO’s fleet has been built through successful new project tenders and acquisitions, and this strategy has contributed significantly to its leading position in the shuttle tanker market. A significant portion of OPCO’s shuttle tanker fleet was established through the acquisition of Ugland Nordic Shipping AS in 2001 and Navion AS, Statoil ASA’s shipping subsidiary, in 2003. In addition, OPCO has increased the size of its fleet through customized shuttle tanker and FSO projects for major energy companies around the world. | |
• | Financial flexibility to pursue acquisitions and other expansion opportunities. We believe our financial flexibility will provide us with acquisition and expansion opportunities. In October 2006 OPCO amended an existing revolving credit facility and entered into another that provides it access to a total of approximately $1.6 billion for working capital and acquisition purposes, approximately $300 million of which we anticipate will be undrawn immediately after the closing of this offering. |
• | Expand global operations in high growth regions. As offshore exploration and production activity continues to accelerate worldwide, we will seek to continue to expand shuttle tanker and FSO unit operations into growing offshore markets such as Brazil and Australia. In addition, we intend to |
126
Table of Contents
pursue opportunities in new markets such as Arctic Russia, Eastern Canada, the Gulf of Mexico, Asia and Africa. | ||
• | Pursue opportunities in the FPSO sector. We believe that Teekay Shipping Corporation’s control of and joint venture with Petrojarl ASA will enable us to competitively pursue FPSO projects anywhere in the world by combining Petrojarl’s engineering and operational expertise with Teekay Shipping Corporation’s global marketing organization and extensive customer and shipyard relationships. | |
• | Acquire additional vessels on long-term fixed-rate contracts. We intend to continue acquiring shuttle tankers and FSO units with long-term contracts, rather than ordering vessels on a speculative basis, and we intend to follow this same practice in acquiring FPSO units. We believe this approach facilitates the financing of new vessels based on their anticipated future revenues and ensures that new vessels will be employed upon acquisition, which should stabilize cash flows. Additionally, we anticipate growing by acquiring additional limited partner interests in OPCO that Teekay Shipping Corporation may offer us in the future. | |
• | Provide superior customer service by maintaining high reliability, safety, environmental and quality standards. Energy companies seek transportation partners that have a reputation for high reliability, safety, environmental and quality standards. We intend to leverage OPCO’s and Teekay Shipping Corporation’s operational expertise and customer relationships to further expand a sustainable competitive advantage with consistent delivery of superior customer service by: |
• | responsiveness, reliability, professionalism and integrity; | |
• | adoption of responsible environmental practices and strict adherence to environmental regulations; | |
• | dedication to safe operations; and | |
• | use of customer feedback and industry and internal performance measures to drive continuous improvements. |
• | Manage the conventional tanker fleet to provide stable cash flows. The terms for OPCO’s existing long-term conventional tanker charters are 5 to 12 years. We believe the fixed-rate time charters for these tankers will provide stable cash flows during their terms and a source of funding for expanding offshore operations. Depending on prevailing market conditions during and at the end of each existing charter, we may seek to extend the charter, enter into a new charter, operate the vessel on the spot market or sell the vessel, in order to maximize returns on the conventional fleet while managing residual risk. |

Formation Stage |
The consideration received by our general partner and its affiliates for the contribution to us of a 26.0% interest in OPCO (consisting of the 0.01% general partner interest and a 25.99% limited partner interest), such contribution to occur at or prior to the closing of this offering | • 2,800,000 common units; • 9,800,000 subordinated units; | |
• 2.0% general partner interest in us; | ||
• the incentive distribution rights; and | ||
• the net proceeds from this offering, as described in “Use of Proceeds.” | ||
Please read “Summary — The Transactions” for further information about our formation and assets contributed to us in connection with the closing of this offering. | ||
The common units and subordinated units owned by Teekay Shipping Corporation represent a 63.0% limited partner interest in us, which gives it the ability to control the outcome of unitholder votes on certain matters. For more information, please read “The Partnership Agreement — Voting Rights” and “— Amendment of the Partnership Agreement.” |
Operational Stage |
Distributions of available cash to our general partner and its affiliates | We will generally make cash distributions 98.0% to unitholders (including Teekay Shipping Corporation, the owner of our general partner and the holder of 2,800,000 common units and 9,800,000 subordinated units) and the remaining 2.0% to our general partner. | |
In addition, if distributions exceed the minimum quarterly distribution and other higher target levels, our general partner, as the holder of the incentive distribution rights, will be entitled to increasing percentages of the distributions, up to 50.0% |
161
Table of Contents
(including distributions on the 2.0% general partner interest) of the distributions above the highest target level. We refer to the rights to the increasing distributions as “incentive distribution rights.” Please read “How We Make Cash Distributions — Incentive Distribution Rights” for more information about the incentive distribution rights. | ||
Assuming we have sufficient available cash to pay the full minimum quarterly distribution on all of our outstanding units for four quarters, but no distributions in excess of the full minimum quarterly distribution, our general partner would receive an annual distribution of approximately $0.6 million on its 2.0% general partner interest and Teekay Shipping Corporation would receive an annual distribution of approximately $18.2 million on its common units and subordinated units. | ||
Payments to our general partner and its affiliates | Our general partner will not receive a management fee or other compensation for the management of our partnership. Our general partner and its affiliates will be entitled to reimbursement for all direct and indirect expenses they incur on our behalf.

Please read “— Omnibus Agreement” and “— Advisory and Administrative Services Agreements” below. | |
Withdrawal or removal of our general partner | If our general partner withdraws or is removed, its general partner interest and its incentive distribution rights will either be sold to the new general partner for cash or converted into common units, in each case for an amount equal to the fair market value of those interests. Please read “The Partnership Agreement — Withdrawal or Removal of the General Partner.” |

• | the fiduciary duties imposed on our general partner by the Marshall Islands Act; | |
• | material modifications of these duties contained in our partnership agreement; and | |
• | certain rights and remedies of unitholders contained in the Marshall Islands Act. |
Marshall Islands law fiduciary duty standards | Fiduciary duties are generally considered to include an obligation to act in good faith and with due care and loyalty. The duty of care, in the absence of a provision in a partnership agreement providing otherwise, would generally require a general partner to act for the partnership in the same manner as a prudent person would act on his own behalf. The duty of loyalty, in the absence of a provision in a partnership agreement providing otherwise, would generally prohibit a general partner of a Marshall Islands limited partnership from taking any action or engaging in any transaction where a conflict of interest is present. | |
Partnership agreement modified standards | Our partnership agreement contains provisions that waive or consent to conduct by our general partner and its affiliates that might otherwise raise issues as to compliance with fiduciary duties under the laws of the Marshall Islands. For example, Section 7.9 of our partnership agreement provides that when our general partner is acting in its capacity as our general partner, as opposed to in its individual capacity, it must act in “good faith” and will not be subject to any other standard under the laws of the Marshall Islands. In addition, when our general partner is acting in its individual capacity, as opposed to in its capacity as our general partner, it may act without any fiduciary obligation to us or the unitholders whatsoever. These standards reduce the obligations to which our general partner would otherwise be held. | |
Our partnership agreement generally provides that affiliated transactions and resolutions of conflicts of interest not involving a vote of unitholders and that are not approved by the conflicts committee of the board of directors of our general partner must be: | ||
• on terms no less favorable to us than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties; or | ||
• “fair and reasonable” to us, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to us). | ||
If our general partner does not seek approval from the conflicts committee, and the board of directors of our general partner determines that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to the conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in the bullet points above, then it will be presumed |
175
Table of Contents
that, in making its decision, the board of directors acted in good faith, and in any proceeding brought by or on behalf of any limited partner or the partnership, the person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding will have the burden of overcoming such presumption. These standards reduce the obligations to which our general partner would otherwise be held. | ||
In addition to the other more specific provisions limiting the obligations of our general partner, our partnership agreement further provides that our general partner and its officers and directors will not be liable for monetary damages to us or our limited partners for errors of judgment or for any acts or omissions unless there has been a final and non- appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that the general partner or its officers and directors acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. | ||
Rights and remedies of unitholders | The provisions of the Marshall Islands Act resemble the provisions of the limited partnership act of Delaware. For example, like Delaware, the Marshall Islands Act favors the principles of freedom of contract and enforceability of partnership agreements and allows the partnership agreement to contain terms governing the rights of the unitholders. The rights of our unitholders, including voting and approval rights and the ability of the partnership to issue additional units, are governed by the terms of our partnership agreement. Please read “The Partnership Agreement.” | |
As to remedies of unitholders, the Marshall Islands Act permits a limited partner to institute legal action on behalf of the partnership to recover damages from a third party where a general partner has refused to institute the action or where an effort to cause a general partner to do so is not likely to succeed. These actions include actions against a general partner for breach of its fiduciary duties or of the partnership agreement. |

1. | Basis of Presentation |
The Pre-Initial Public Offering Transactions of OPCO |
• | Teekay Shipping Corporation’s transfer to OPCO of all of the outstanding shares of the OPCO Subsidiaries. Teekay Offshore Partners Predecessor’s historical audited combined consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and Teekay Offshore Partners Predecessor’s historical unaudited combined consolidated financial statements as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2006 contain the operations of all of these assets and, as such, no pro forma adjustment was required. | |
• | OPCO’s entry into new time-charter contracts for nine of OPCO’s Aframax-class conventional crude oil tankers for terms of 5 to 12 years. OPCO will be responsible for bunker fuel costs on eight of these vessels. However, under the terms of the time-charter contracts, OPCO will recover the approximate amount of these bunker fuel costs from Teekay Shipping Corporation. | |
• | OPCO’s transfer to Teekay Shipping Corporation of all chartered-in conventional crude oil and product tankers in Navion Shipping Ltd. (a subsidiary of Norsk Teekay), a 1987-built shuttle tanker (theNordic Trym), OPCO’s single anchor loading equipment, a 1992-built chartered-in shuttle tanker (theBorga) and a 50.0% interest in Alta Shipping S.A., which has no material assets (collectively, theNon-OPCO Assets). | |
• | OPCO’s purchase of theFuji Spirit, an Aframax-class conventional crude oil tanker currently accounted for as a capital lease, for $39.0 million. | |
• | OPCO’s entry into amended operating agreements for five of its 50%-owned joint ventures, whereby OPCO will have unilateral control of each joint venture, which will require OPCO to consolidate these five joint venture companies in accordance with GAAP. | |
• | OPCO’s incurrence of additional debt to increase its outstanding debt to $1.08 billion (excluding debt relating to its five 50%-owned joint ventures, which as of June 30, 2006 totaled $237.3 million). As at June 30, 2006, the net amount of the additional debt would have been $536.5 million. | |
• | Teekay Shipping Corporation’s contribution to OPCO of interest rate swaps with a notional principal amount of $1.09 billion, a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 5.5% (including the margin OPCO pays on its floating-rate debt) and a weighted-average remaining term of 9.7 years. | |
• | OPCO’s repayment of all of its advances from affiliates, which advances as of January 1, 2005 and June 30, 2006 were $630.9 million and $433.8 million, respectively. | |
• | OPCO’s declaration and payment of a dividend to Teekay Shipping Corporation in an amount sufficient to decrease OPCO’s outstanding cash balance to $90.0 million. As of June 30, 2006, this amount would have been $154.1 million. |
The Initial Public Offering Transactions |
• | Teekay Shipping Corporation’s transfer to the Partnership of a 26.0% interest in OPCO, including a 25.99% limited partner interest held directly by the Partnership and a 0.01% general partner interest |

held by the Partnership through its ownership of OPCO’s general partner, Teekay Offshore Operating GP L.L.C., in exchange for: |
• | the issuance to Teekay Shipping Corporation of 2,800,000 common units and 9,800,000 subordinated units of the Partnership and non-interest bearing promissory notes (theTSC Notes); and | |
• | the issuance to Teekay Offshore GP L.L.C., a wholly owned subsidiary of Teekay Shipping Corporation, of the 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership and all of the Partnership’s incentive distribution rights. |
• | The Partnership’s issuance of 7,000,000 common units to the public at an initial public offering price of $21.00 per common unit, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Partnership of $147.0 million. | |
• | The Partnership’s payment of estimated underwriting discounts, commissions and structuring fees of $9.9 million and estimated offering expenses of $2.7 million. | |
• | The repayment of the TSC Notes with net proceeds of the public offering. |
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
3. | Pre-Initial Public Offering Transactions of OPCO — Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions |
(a) OPCO’s entry into new time-charter contracts for OPCO’s nine Aframax-class conventional tankers (including theFuji Spirit) with a subsidiary of Teekay Shipping Corporation at market-based daily rates for terms of five to twelve years. Under the terms of eight of these nine time-charter contracts, OPCO will also be responsible for the bunker fuel expenses; however, OPCO will add the approximate amount of these expenses to the daily hire rate. During the year ended December 31, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006, eight of these nine tankers were employed on time-charter contracts with a subsidiary of Teekay Shipping Corporation at cash-flow break-even rates. As a result, the rates earned by each vessel, which were lower, depended upon the cash flow requirements of each vessel, which included operating expenses, loan principal and interest payments and drydock expenditures. The ninth Aframax tanker was operated on the spot market. Had these time charter contracts been entered into on January 1, 2005, OPCO’s voyage revenues and voyage expenses would have increased by $59.1 million and $19.4 million, respectively, for the year ended |
F-8
Table of Contents
December 31, 2005 and $31.8 million and $14.4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006. | |
(b) OPCO’s transfer of the Non-OPCO Assets to Teekay Shipping Corporation. | |
(c) OPCO’s purchase of theFuji Spirit, an Aframax-class conventional crude oil tanker currently accounted for as a capital lease, for $39.0 million, which purchase was financed with a $39.0 million non-interest bearing loan from Teekay Shipping Corporation. The excess of the $39.0 million purchase price over the $33.6 million capital lease obligation at June 30, 2006 would have increased OPCO’s pro forma net book value of theFuji Spiritfrom $33.8 million to $39.2 million at such date. The excess of the $39.0 million purchase price over the $35.5 million capital lease obligation at January 1, 2005 resulted in additional depreciation expense of $0.1 million each for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006. The repayment of the lease obligation resulted in a reduction in interest expense of $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. | |
(d) The consolidation into OPCO of five 50%-owned joint venture companies, each of which owns one shuttle tanker. These five joint ventures are currently accounted for using the equity method, whereby the investment is carried at OPCO’s original cost plus its proportionate share of undistributed earnings. OPCO will enter into amended operating agreements for these joint ventures, whereby OPCO will obtain unilateral control of each joint venture, which will require OPCO to consolidate the five joint venture companies in accordance with GAAP. | |
(e) OPCO’s incurrence of additional debt to increase its outstanding debt to $1.08 billion (excluding debt relating to its five 50%-owned joint ventures, which as of June 30, 2006 totaled $237.3 million) and Teekay Shipping Corporation’s contribution to OPCO of interest rate swaps with a notional principal amount of $1.09 billion, a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 5.5% (including the margin OPCO pays on its floating-rate debt) and a weighted-average remaining term of 9.7 years. As of June 30, 2006, the net amount of the additional debt would have been $536.5 million. In connection with this additional debt and a restructuring of OPCO’s debt facilities, OPCO would have incurred $6.0 million of loan arrangement and amendment fees and written off the unamortized balance of the capitalized loan costs on one of its revolving credit facilities that was prepaid and will be cancelled prior to the closing of the Partnership’s initial public offering. As at January 1, 2005 and June 30, 2006, this write-off would have been $3.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Had these transactions been completed on January 1, 2005 and had there been no prepayments of debt during the period from January 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006, OPCO’s interest expense would have increased by $39.7 million and $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Consequently, the Partnership’s pro forma interest expense for the year end December 31, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006 includes interest of $60.0 million and $29.5 million, respectively, from $1.08 billion of outstanding debt at a weighted-average fixed rate of 5.5%, amortization of capitalized loan costs of $1.2 million and $0.6 million, and commitment commissions on the undrawn portion of OPCO’s revolving credit facilities of $0.7 million and $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. | |
(f) OPCO’s repayment of all of its advances from affiliates, which advances as of January 1, 2005 and June 30, 2006 were $630.9 million and $433.8 million, respectively. Had this repayment been made on January 1, 2005, OPCO’s interest expense would have decreased by $14.8 million and $6.8 million, respectively, and OPCO’s foreign currency exchange gain and loss would have decreased by $24.2 million and $13.1 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006. |
F-9
Table of Contents
(g) OPCO’s declaration and payment of a dividend to Teekay Shipping Corporation in an amount sufficient to decrease OPCO’s outstanding cash balance to $90.0 million. As of June 30, 2006, this amount would have been $154.1 million. To the extent OPCO’s advances from affiliates are settled through ways that do not involve cash, such as conversion to equity or contribution of the advances to OPCO, it is assumed that the amount of the dividend would be increased by a corresponding amount. |
4. | Initial Public Offering Transactions of the Partnership — Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions |
(a) The Partnership’s incurrence of estimated incremental general and administrative expenses of $1.5 million annually, or $0.4 million quarterly, including costs associated with annual reports to shareholders, corporate tax compliance, investor relations, registrar and transfer agent’s fees, director and officer liability insurance costs and directors compensation and travel expenses, including expenses associated with the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Partnership has estimated this amount based on the experience of its affiliate, Teekay LNG Partners L.P., which is a publicly-traded limited partnership. | |
(b) The Partnership’s receipt of gross proceeds of $147.0 million from the issuance and sale of 7,000,000 common units to the public, at an initial public offering price of $21.00 per common unit. | |
(c) The Partnership’s payment of estimated underwriting discounts, commissions and structuring fees of $9.9 million and estimated offering expenses of $2.7 million in connection with the initial public offering. | |
(d) The Partnership’s acquisition from Teekay Shipping Corporation of a 25.99% limited partner interest in OPCO and the 0.01% general partner interest in OPCO through the Partnership’s ownership of OPCO’s general partner, Teekay Offshore Operating GP L.L.C., in exchange for the Partnership’s: |
• | issuance to Teekay Shipping Corporation of 2,800,000 common units and 9,800,000 subordinated units of the Partnership; | |
• | issuance to Teekay Offshore GP L.L.C., a wholly owned subsidiary of Teekay Shipping Corporation, of the 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership and all of the Partnership’s incentive distribution rights; and | |
• | issuance to Teekay Shipping Corporation of the TSC Notes, which will occur prior to the closing of this offering. The amount of the TSC Notes will approximate the amount of the net proceeds from the initial public offering, which are estimated to be $134.4 million. |
The pro forma non-controlling interest (represented by Teekay Shipping Corporation’s 74.0% limited partner interest) of the net income of OPCO for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $81.5 million and $18.1 million, respectively. | |
(e) The repayment of the TSC Notes due to Teekay Shipping Corporation with the net proceeds from the initial public offering. |

(3) provide funds for minimum quarterly distributions and cumulative common unit arrearages for any one or more of the next four quarters; | ||

provided, further,that disbursements made by Teekay Offshore Partners or any of its subsidiaries or cash reserves established, increased or reduced after the end of that quarter but on or before the date of determination of available cash for that quarter shall be deemed to have been made, established, increased or reduced, for purposes of determining available cash, within that quarter if our general partner so determines. | ||
