Merger Sub merged with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving the merger as a subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Teekay Corporation, a Marshall Islands corporation (“Teekay”), owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, (a) approximately 41.1% of the Partnership’s issued and outstanding common units, representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units”), and (b) 100% of the General Partner, which holds all of the general partner interests (the “General Partner Interest”) in the Partnership. The General Partner Interest includes an economic ownership interest equal in value to 1,555,061 Common Units. As described below, concurrently with the Merger, Parent acquired from Teekay or its applicable subsidiaries (a) all of the issued and outstanding Common Units held by Teekay, (b) all of Teekay’s General Partner Interest and (c) certain restructured Teekay subsidiaries (the “Services Companies”) that provide, through existing services agreements, various services to the Partnership and the Partnership’s subsidiaries and joint ventures.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) on January 13, 2022, pursuant to the Merger Agreement:

Limited Liability Company Interest Purchase Agreement. Concurrently with the closing of the Merger, Parent purchased from Teekay and its wholly owned subsidiary, Teekay Holdings Limited, 100% of the limited liability company interests of the General Partner (the “Purchased Interest”) pursuant to, and upon the terms subject to the conditions set forth in, that certain Limited Liability Company Interest Purchase Agreement (the “LLC Interest Purchase Agreement”) dated as of October 4, 2021 by and between Parent and Teekay. As a result of this transaction, Parent owns 100% of the sole general partner of the Partnership. The total purchase price to be paid to Teekay for the Purchased Interest was $26.4 million in cash, which represents the product of (a) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (b) the 1,555,061 Common Unit-equivalent economic ownership interest represented by the General Partner Interest.

Services provided by the Services Companies have included, in the case of the Partnership’s subsidiaries and certain of its joint ventures, substantially all of their managerial, operational and administrative services (including vessel maintenance, crewing, crew training, purchasing, shipyard supervision, insurance and financial services) and other technical and advisory services, and in the case of the Partnership, various administrative services.
