Scott+Scott, Attorneys at Law, LLP (“Scott+Scott”), a global investor rights law firm, reminds investors that May 2, 2016 is the last day to file lead plaintiff papers in the securities lawsuit against Teekay Corporation (“Teekay” or “Company”)(NYSE:TK) and certain of its directors (collectively, “Defendants”).

Teekay was founded in 1973 as a regional shipping company and tanker operator. Today, Teekay has a diversified fleet with over $12 billion in assets and some of the world’s largest fleets in the Company’s core markets.

On December 16, 2015, Teekay issued a press release in which it announced that the Company’s “Board of Directors has approved a plan to reduce the Company’s quarterly dividend to $0.055 per share, down from $0.55 per share in the third quarter of 2015, commencing with the fourth quarter of 2015 dividend payable in February 2016.” On this news, Teekay’s share price declined 58%.

About the Lawsuit

The complaint alleges that between June 30, 2015 and December 17, 2015, inclusive (the “Class Period”), Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company’s repeated assurances that it would maintain a quarterly dividend of at least $0.55 per share were baseless; (2) the Company knew, based on then-present facts, that it could not support future dividend payments in excess of $0.55 per share; (3) the cash flows from the Company’s master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) – Teekay LNG Partners LP (“TGP”) and Teekay Offshore Partners LP (“TOO”) – could not possibly sustain such high dividends; and (4) Teekay misled the market about the strength of its business and financial condition.
