The shelf registration statement, when declared effective by the SEC, will give GasLog the ability to offer and sell up to $500,000,000 of its securities consisting of common shares, preference shares, debt securities, warrants, rights and units. After the shelf registration statement becomes effective, GasLog may offer and sell such securities from time to time and through one or more methods of distribution, subject to market conditions and GasLog's capital needs. The shelf registration statement will also cover the sale from time to time of up to 36,717,774 common shares by certain of GasLog's existing shareholders, which may include Blenheim Holdings Ltd. following the expiration of certain existing restrictions on October 4, 2013.

The registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
