HAMILTON, Bermuda, Sept. 13, 2017 -- Teekay Corporation (Teekay or the Company) (NYSE:TK) announced today the following changes to its Board of Directors:
- Axel Karlshoej, Director and Chairman Emeritus, and Thomas (Tommy) Kuo-Yuen Hsu, Director, have retired from their positions effective September 12, 2017, after 25 years with the Company’s Board.
- Mr. Karlshoej and Mr. Hsu are being replaced by Rudolph W.J. Krediet and Heidi Locke Simon.
- In addition, David Schellenberg has been appointed to the Company’s Board.
“Twenty-five years ago, Tommy Hsu and I joined Teekay’s Executive Board following the untimely passing of my brother Torben Karlshoej,” commented Mr. Karlshoej. “Torben’s dream was to build one of the best shipping companies in the world – an ambition we continue to aspire to and a purpose shared by our Board of Directors and employees throughout the world.”
“I am proud to be able to look back and say that we have continued to build on Torben’s dream and I am confident in passing the baton to the next generation of Board members and leaders that share the same Teekay Spirit values and will continue to navigate this great company for many years to come,” Mr. Karlshoej continued. “I would like to thank Tommy Hsu for all his invaluable support and counsel to Teekay over the past 25 years and wish our new Board members all the best as we set our sights on the future.”
“Axel’s mantra in his leadership at Teekay has always been to do the right thing,” commented Mr. Bill Utt, Teekay’s Chairman. “It has been clear to me from when I joined Teekay that both Torben and Axel lead from the basic principle that Teekay is first and foremost a people company that runs great ships instead of a shipping company that employs great people. Teekay is built on a strong culture that sets us up in a unique way. I would like to thank Axel and Tommy for their unwavering commitment to the Teekay mission for the past 25 years and I look forward to working with the new Board members in the future.”
