* Share amounts and percentages relate to the
ordinary shares, nominal value 2.00 Norwegian Kroner (NOK)
per share (Ordinary Shares), of the Issuer, which are not registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act).
The Issuer has registered American Depository Shares under the Securities Act,
each of which represents one Ordinary Share.
Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Schedule 13D relates to the ordinary shares, nominal value 2.00 Norwegian Kroner (NOK)
per share (Ordinary Shares), of Petrojarl ASA, a corporation organized under the laws of the
Kingdom of Norway (the Issuer), with principal executive offices at Beddingen 16, Trondheim,
Norway. The Issuer has registered American Depository Shares (the ADSs) under the Securities
Act, each of which represents one Ordinary Share of the Issuer. The Ordinary Shares are traded on
the Oslo Stock Exchange and are not registered under the 1933 Act (other than as ADSs).
Item 2. Identity and Background
This Schedule 13D relates to Teekay Shipping Corporation, a corporation existing under the
laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (Teekay), with its principal executive offices at Bayside House, Bayside Executive Park, West Bay Street & Blake Road, P.O. Box AP- 59212, Nassau, Bahamas.
Teekay is referred to as the Reporting Person.
The Reporting Person is principally in the business of international crude oil and petroleum
product transportation services.
The name, principal occupation or employment and principal business address and citizenship of
each director and executive officer of the Reporting Person are as set forth on Schedule A.
In the past five years, neither of the Reporting Person nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting
Person, any of the individuals set forth on Schedule A has been convicted in a criminal
proceeding or been a party to any action as a result of which it is subject to a judgment, decree
or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The total amount of funds required to purchase the 30,409,100 Ordinary Shares beneficially
owned by the Reporting Person, was approximately 2,067,643,800 NOK, exclusive of brokerage
commissions, and was furnished from internally generated funds of the Reporting Person and its
affiliated entities.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Reporting Person acquired beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares for the purpose of
influencing or obtaining control of the Issuer.
As a result of their having acquired more than 40% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, the
Reporting Person has become obligated, pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act (the
NSTA), either to make a mandatory offer for the purchase of the remaining outstanding Ordinary
Shares (the Mandatory Offer) or reduce its holding to below 40%. The Mandatory Offer must be
made within four weeks after the Reporting Person first became obligated to make the Mandatory
Offer and the offer price in the Mandatory Offer must be at least as high as the market price of
Ordinary Shares as of, or the highest price paid by the Reporting Person to acquire Ordinary Shares
during the six month period prior to, the time the Reporting Person first became obligated to make
the Mandatory Offer which would result in an offer price of not less than 68 NOK per share in
the Mandatory Offer.
As required by the NSTA, on September 1, 2006, the Reporting Person notified the Oslo Stock
Exchange that it had become obligated to make the Mandatory Offer and that it would do so at the
minimum required offer price.
3 of 8
The NSTA also provides that until such time as the Mandatory Offer is made, the Reporting
Person may not exercise any rights (including voting rights) as holders of the portion of the
Ordinary Shares it holds in excess of 40% (other than the right to receive dividends and
pre-emption rights).
If following consummation of the Mandatory Offer, the Reporting Person holds more than 90% of
the outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Reporting Person (as well as any remaining shareholder of the
Issuer) would have the right under Norwegian law to commence a process leading to a compulsory
acquisition by the Reporting Person for cash of any Ordinary Shares not already owned by the
Reporting Person at price determined either by agreement or by a Norwegian court.
Except as described in this Schedule, the Reporting Person currently has no specific plans or
proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or transactions described in
paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to this Schedule. However, the Reporting
Person, either directly or through one of its subsidiaries, intends to hold discussions with the
board of directors and management of the Issuer, to seek to participate in the direction and
management of the Issuer (including by seeking representation on the Issuers board of directors)
and to otherwise exercise influence or control over the Issuer and its business and policies, in
each case commensurate with the level of their shareholding in the Issuer. Accordingly, the
Reporting Person reserves the right, from time to time, to formulate plans or proposals regarding
the Issuer or any of its securities and to carry out any of the actions or transactions described
in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to this Schedule, to the extent deemed
advisable by the Reporting Person.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
The Reporting Person beneficially owns and has sole voting and dispositive power with respect
to 30,409,100 shares of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, representing approximately 40.55% of the
Issuers outstanding Ordinary Shares calculated according to the number of shares of Ordinary
Shares the Issuer disclosed as outstanding following the transactions contemplated by its
Registration Statement on Form F-6, declared effective on July 3, 2006.
The Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person were purchased by TPO
Investments AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person (TPO). TPO acquired the
30,409,100 Ordinary Shares from August 23, 2006 through the date of this Schedule, for a purchase price of 66.5 NOK to 68 NOK per
share, excluding commissions, in cash in multiple transactions via the Oslo Stock Exchange and in
privately negotiated transactions.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
TPO entered into price protection agreements with certain sellers of the Ordinary Shares
acquired by TPO. TPO agreed to pay each such seller the difference between the purchase price paid
by TPO to such seller for such sellers Ordinary Shares and the price at which TPO subsequently
purchases or sells any Ordinary Shares within a given period of time, ranging from three to twelve
months. A form of the letter agreement containing these terms is filed with this Schedule as
Exhibit 99.1.
