Washington, D.C. 20549
REPORT OF FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER PURSUANT TO RULE 13a-16 OR 15d-16 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
c/o GasLog LNG Services Ltd.
Indicate by check mark whether the registrant files or will file annual reports under cover of Form 20-F or Form 40-F.
As previously disclosed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions to the previously announced merger pursuant to which GasLog Ltd. (“Parent”) will acquire all of the
outstanding common units (“common units”) of GasLog Partners LP (the “Partnership”) not beneficially owned by Parent (the “Transaction”), each common unit (other than those common units held by Parent or its affiliates) will be entitled to receive
overall consideration of $8.65 in cash, consisting in part of a special distribution by the Partnership of $3.28 per common unit in cash (the “Special Distribution”) that will be distributed to the Partnership’s common unitholders (“common
unitholders”) in connection with the closing of the Transaction and the remainder to be paid by Parent as merger consideration at the closing of the Transaction.
Subject to receipt of the required common unitholder approval of the Transaction at a special meeting of common unitholders scheduled to take place on July 7, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, the
Partnership anticipates that the board of directors of the Partnership will subsequently declare the Special Distribution on July 7, 2023, with an anticipated record date of July 10, 2023 (the “Anticipated Record Date”) and an anticipated payment
date of July 12, 2023 (the “Anticipated Payment Date”). In such circumstances, the payment of the Special Distribution to common unitholders as of the Anticipated Record Date will be subject to due-bill trading, as described below in the section
entitled “Important Information About the Special Distribution”.
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing (including receipt of required common unitholder approval), the Transaction is expected to close on or about July 13, 2023.
The foregoing dates reflect current expectations only and are subject to change, including in the event of any postponement or adjournment of the Partnership’s upcoming special meeting of common
unitholders scheduled to take place on July 7, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
Important Information About the Special Distribution
Due to the size of the Special Distribution (if declared), as required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), during the period beginning July 7, 2023, one business day prior
to the Anticipated Record Date, through the Anticipated Payment Date, the common units will be traded with “due bills”, representing an assignment of the right to receive the Special Distribution (such period of time, the “Due-bill Period”). AS A RESULT, COMMON UNITHOLDERS AS OF THE ANTICIPATED RECORD DATE MUST HOLD THEIR COMMON UNITS THROUGH MARKET CLOSE ON THE ANTICIPATED PAYMENT DATE IN ORDER TO BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION. COMMON
UNITHOLDERS WHO SELL THEIR COMMON UNITS ON OR BEFORE THE ANTICIPATED PAYMENT DATE WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION. PURCHASERS OF THE COMMON UNITS DURING THE DUE-BILL PERIOD (EVEN IF THE TRADE WILL SETTLE AFTER THE
DUE-BILL PERIOD ENDS) WHO HOLD SUCH COMMON UNITS ON THE ANTICIPATED PAYMENT DATE WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION. COMMON UNITHOLDERS THAT SELL ANY COMMON UNITS DURING THE DUE-BILL PERIOD (EVEN IF THE TRADE WILL SETTLE AFTER
THE DUE-BILL PERIOD) WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION WITH RESPECT TO ANY COMMON UNITS THEY SELL.
Due bills obligate a seller of shares or units of a company to deliver the dividend to the buyer. The due bill obligations are settled customarily between the brokers representing buyers and
sellers of the shares or units. The Partnership has no obligation for either the amount of the due bill or the processing of the due bill. Buyers and sellers of common units during the Due-bill Period should consult with their broker before trading
in common units to be sure they understand the effect of the NYSE’s due-bill procedures.
The above information regarding the Special Distribution supersedes anything to the contrary contained in the Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, as amended by Amendments Nos. 1 through 3
thereto, together with the exhibits thereto, most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2023 (the “Schedule 13E-3”), including, but not limited to, in the sections of the proxy statement of the Partnership attached
as exhibit (a)(1) to the Schedule 13E-3 titled “Summary Term Sheet – Consideration”, “Questions and Answers About the Merger, the Special Distribution and the Special Meeting”, “Risk Factors”, “Special Factors – Effect of the Merger”, “Special
Factors – Recommendation of the Conflicts Committee and the Partnership Board; Reasons for Recommending Approval of the Merger Proposal” and “Proposal No. 1 The Merger Agreement – Consideration”. The Partnership intends to file Amendment No. 4 to
the Schedule 13E-3 on July 3, 2023 to reflect the above information. The Partnership will issue a press release announcing the declaration of the Special Distribution if and once it occurs and will confirm the definitive record date and payment
date for the Special Distribution at such time.
Forward-Looking Statements
All statements in this Form 6-K that are not statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements include statements that address activities, events or developments, such as the declaration and payment of the Special Distribution and the closing of the Transaction, that the Partnership expects, projects, believes or
anticipates will or may occur in the future. We caution that these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this press release, about factors that are beyond our ability to control or predict, and
are not intended to give any assurance as to future results. Any of these factors or a combination of these factors, including the declaration and payment of the Special Distribution or the closing of the Transaction, could materially affect future
results of operations and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking statements. Other factors that might cause future results and outcomes to differ include, but are not limited to, the other risks and uncertainties described in the
Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 6, 2023, available at http://www.sec.gov. Accordingly, you should not unduly rely on any forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this press release, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in our views or
expectations or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of these factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our business or the
extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
