“We are pleased that ISS and Glass Lewis support the proposed charter amendment and our merger with TIL, which we believe will create significant value for Teekay Tankers and all our shareholders,” commented Kevin Mackay, Teekay Tankers’ President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We believe the merger offers compelling strategic and financial benefits, including expected immediate accretion to earnings, strengthening of our balance sheet and increase in liquidity and an en bloc fleet acquisition at the right point in the tanker cycle when market fundamentals show signs of improvement.  We encourage all shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the authorized share count which will allow us to complete the proposed merger and move forward with our plan to enhance shareholder value.”

Teekay Tankers’ Board of Directors unanimously recommends that Teekey Tankers shareholders vote “FOR” the proposed charter amendment, which will allow the Company to effect its proposed merger with TIL.  In addition, the Company has also already secured support for the merger with TIL from Teekay Tankers’ two largest shareholders, Teekay Corporation and Huber Capital Management LLC.

Teekay Tankers currently owns a fleet of 35 double-hull tankers, including 16 Suezmax tankers, 12 Aframax tankers, and seven Long Range 2 (LR2) product tankers, and has four capital leased Suezmax tankers and one contracted time charter-in vessel. Teekay Tankers’ vessels are employed through a mix of short- or medium-term fixed rate time charter contracts and spot tanker market trading. The Company also owns a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) through a 50 percent-owned joint venture. In addition, Teekay Tankers owns a ship-to-ship transfer business and a minority interest of over 11 percent in Tanker Investments Ltd. (OSE: TIL), which currently owns a fleet of 18 modern tankers and of which Teekay Tankers has agreed to acquire the remaining ownership interest. Teekay Tankers was formed in December 2007 by Teekay Corporation as part of its strategy to expand its conventional oil tanker business.
