INTRODUCTION

        This Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Schedule 13E-3” or this “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”), by: (i) GasLog Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (the “Company”), (ii) GEPIF III Crown Bidco L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Parent”), (iii) GEPIF III Crown MergerCo Limited, a Bermuda exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), (iv) Global Energy & Power Infrastructure Fund III, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“GEPIF III”), (v) Blenheim Holdings Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Blenheim Holdings”), (vi) Blenheim Special Investments Holding Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Blenheim Special Investments”), and (vii) Olympic LNG Investments Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Olympic”) (each of (i) through (vii) a “Filing Person”, and collectively, the “Filing Persons”).

        This Transaction Statement relates to (1) the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 21, 2021 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, (2) the related Statutory Merger Agreement contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Statutory Merger Agreement”), to be entered into by the Company and Merger Sub and (3) the Rollover Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2021 (the “Rollover Agreement”), by and among Parent, the Company, Blenheim Holdings, Olympic, Blenheim Special Investments, Falconera Navigation Inc., Chiara Holdings S de R.L., Maple Tree Holdings Ltd., Ash Tree SA, Acer Tree Ltd., Thatcher Investments Limited, Eleanor Investments Holdings Limited, Nelson Equity Limited and JP Jones Holdings Limited (such persons, other than Parent and the Company, the “Rolling Shareholders”). Pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement, if each of the conditions to closing set forth in the Merger Agreement are either satisfied or, to the extent permitted, waived, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company as the surviving company in the merger (the “Surviving Company”).

        Upon completion of the Merger, each common share of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (each, a “Company Common Share”), that is issued and outstanding at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) (other than Company Common Shares held by (a) holders of Company Common Shares who have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect to such Company Common Shares in accordance with the Company Act 1981 of Bermuda (as amended) (the “Bermuda Companies Act”), (b) the Company or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, (c) the Company as treasury shares or (d) the Rolling Shareholders), will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $5.80, in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). Upon completion of the Merger, each of the Company’s 8.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares, par value $0.01 per share (each, a “Company Preference Share”) that is issued and outstanding at the Effective Time will remain issued and outstanding and convert automatically into a preference share of the Surviving Company (each, a “Surviving Company Preference Share”), and be entitled to the same dividend and other relative rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions as are now provided by the certificate of designations of the Company Preference Shares, which certificate of designations will remain at and following the completion of the Merger in full force and effect as an obligation of the Surviving Company in accordance with the Bermuda Companies Act. Following the Merger, the Rolling Shareholders will own approximately 55% of the Surviving Company’s common shares and Parent will own approximately 45% of the Surviving Company’s common shares. Following the Merger, the Surviving Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Common Shares to be de-listed from the New York Stock Exchange and de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time.

        Pursuant to the Rollover Agreement, each Rolling Shareholder has agreed that (a) each Company Common Share that is issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time and owned by it will remain outstanding and convert automatically into one duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable common share, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Company and (b) each Company Preference Share that is issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time and owned by it will remain outstanding and convert automatically into a Surviving Company Preference Share, and has waived any

claim to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to any Company Common Share owned by it and any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger and the other transactions. In addition, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Rollover Agreement and the Merger Agreement, concurrently with the closing of the Merger, each of Blenheim Holdings, Olympic and Blenheim Special Investments (the “Continuing Rolling Shareholders”), Parent and the Company have agreed to enter into a shareholder agreement (the “Shareholder Agreement”) with respect to the governance of the Surviving Company, including certain approval rights to be granted to Parent and Blenheim Holdings with respect to the conduct of the Surviving Company.

        Parent expects to provide the amount of funds necessary to complete the Merger through a cash contribution from GEPIF III, pursuant to an Equity Commitment Letter, dated as of February 21, 2021 (the “Equity Commitment Letter”), between Parent and GEPIF III, under which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, GEPIF III will provide equity financing in an aggregate amount of $247 million to Parent to complete the Merger. The obligation of GEPIF III to fund its commitment under the Equity Commitment Letter is subject to the satisfaction in full or valid waiver of the conditions precedent to Parent’s obligations to consummate the Merger and the other transactions at the closing and the closing being required to occur under the Merger Agreement.

        Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Parent also delivered to the Company the executed guarantee of GEPIF III, dated as of February 21, 2021, in favor of the Company in respect of Parent’s obligation to pay the Parent termination fee under and in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

        A special committee of the board of directors of the Company (the “Special Committee”) consisting only of independent and disinterested directors reviewed and considered the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger. The Special Committee unanimously recommended that the board of directors of the Company (a) approve the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Rollover Agreement, including the Merger, and (b) recommend approval of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement to the holders of the Company Common Shares, other than the Company or its wholly owned subsidiaries, Parent, Merger Sub or the Rolling Shareholders and their respective affiliates (the “Public Shareholders”), and the holders of Company Preference Shares. The board of directors of the Company, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Rollover Agreement, including the Merger, are fair to, and in the best interest of, the Company, the holders of Company Common Shares and the holders of Company Preference Shares, (ii) approved the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Rollover Agreement, including the Merger, and (iii) recommended approval of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement to the Public Shareholders and the holders of Company Preference Shares.

        Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including without limitation, approval of the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the affirmative vote of (a) the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Company Common Shares and Company Preference Shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class (and with each Company Preference Share carrying a single vote), at a meeting of the Company shareholders and (b) the holders of a majority of the Company Common Shares held by the Public Shareholders and present (in person or by proxy) at a special general meeting of the Company shareholders. Pursuant to the Rollover Agreement, the Rolling Shareholders have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions therein, to vote all Company Common Shares and Company Preference Shares beneficially owned by them in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.

        The Company will make available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement,” a preliminary copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1) to this Transaction Statement), relating to the special general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, at which the Company’s shareholders will consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement.
