IMPORTANT TEEKAY CORPORATION SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP Announces That a Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Commenced in the District of Connecticut Against Teekay Corporation -- TK

NEW YORK, March 03, 2016 -- Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in United States District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of purchasers of Teekay Corporation (NYSE:TK) securities from June 30, 2015 through December 17, 2015, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Shareholders who incurred losses on Teekay Corporation securities purchased within the class period are urged to contact the firm immediately at [email protected] or (800) 575-0735 or (212) 545-4774.

If you purchased shares of Teekay Corporation within the period June 30, 2015 through December 17, 2015, inclusive, you may, no later than May 2, 2016, request that the Court appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class.

According to the filed complaint, throughout the Class Period, Defendants issued materially false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Teekay’s repeated assurances that it would maintain a quarterly dividend of at least $0.55 per share were baseless; (2) Teekay 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 Teekay’s master limited partnerships – Teekay LNG Partners LP and Teekay Offshore Partners LP – could not possibly sustain such high dividends; and (4) as a result, Teekay’s public statements about the strength of its business and financial condition were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

After the close of trading on December 16, 2015, Teekay disclosed that its “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 December 17, 2015, as a result to this shocking disclosure, Teekay Corporation shares closed at $7.27, down $10.22 for the day, a decline of 58%.
