GasLog Partners LP Receives Buyout Offer from GasLog Ltd.
January 25 2023 - 4:30PM
GasLog Partners LP (“GasLog Partners” or the
“Partnership”) (NYSE: GLOP), an international owner and
operator of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) carriers, today announced
that its board of directors received an unsolicited non-binding
proposal from GasLog Ltd. (“GasLog”) to acquire all of the
outstanding common units representing limited partner interests of
the Partnership not already beneficially owned by GasLog. In
connection with the proposed transaction, each common unit would
receive overall value of $7.70 per common unit in cash, consisting
in part of a special distribution by the Partnership of $2.33 per
common unit in cash to be distributed to the Partnership’s
unitholders immediately prior to the closing of the proposed
transaction and the remainder to be paid by GasLog as merger
consideration at the closing of the proposed transaction. A copy of
the offer letter containing GasLog’s non-binding proposal is
attached as Exhibit 1 to Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed
by GasLog with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on
January 25, 2023, available at http://www.sec.gov.
The Partnership’s board of directors has authorized its
conflicts committee, consisting only of non-GasLog affiliated
directors, to retain advisors and to review, evaluate, negotiate
and accept or reject the proposed transaction. GasLog’s proposal is
non-binding and is subject to the negotiation and execution of
mutually acceptable definitive documentation. There can be no
assurance that any definitive documentation will be executed or
that any transaction will materialize.
