5.

Calls on Partly Paid Shares

 

 

 

 

 

5.1

The Board may make such calls as it thinks fit upon the Members in respect of any moneys, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, unpaid on the shares allotted to or held by such Members (and not made payable at fixed times by the terms and conditions of issue) and, if a call is not paid on or before the day appointed for payment thereof, the Member may at the discretion of the Board be liable to pay the Company interest on the amount of such call at such rate as the Board may determine, from the date when such call was payable up to the actual date of payment. The Board may differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment of such calls.

 

 

 

 

 

5.2

Any amount which by the terms of issue of a share becomes payable upon issue or at any fixed date, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, shall for all the purposes of these Bye-laws be deemed to be an amount on which a call has been duly made and payable on the date on which, by the terms of issue, the same becomes payable, and in case of non-payment all the relevant provisions




 

 

GasLog Ltd.

Page 6

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of these Bye-laws as to payment of interest, costs and expenses, forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such amount had become payable by virtue of a duly made and notified call.

6.1

If any Member fails to pay, on the day appointed for payment thereof, any call in respect of any share allotted to or held by such Member, the Board may, at any time thereafter during such time as the call remains unpaid, direct the Secretary to forward such Member a notice in writing in the form, or as near thereto as circumstances admit, of the following:

 

 

 

Notice of Liability to Forfeiture for Non-Payment of Call

GasLog Ltd. (the “Company”)

 

 

 

 

 

You have failed to pay the call of [amount of call] made on the [ ] day of [ ], 20[ ], in respect of the [number] share(s) [number in figures] standing in your name in the Register of Members of the Company, on the [ ] day of [ ], 20[ ], the day appointed for payment of such call. You are hereby notified that unless you pay such call together with interest thereon at the rate of [ ] per annum computed from the said [ ] day of [ ], 20[ ] at the registered office of the Company the share(s) will be liable to be forfeited.

[Signature of Secretary] By Order of the Board

 

 

 

 

6.2

If the requirements of such notice are not complied with, any such share may at any time thereafter before the payment of such call and the interest due in respect thereof be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect, and such share shall thereupon become the property of the Company and may be disposed of as the Board shall determine.

 

 

 

 

6.3

A Member whose share or shares have been so forfeited shall, notwithstanding such forfeiture, be liable to pay to the Company all calls owing on such share or shares at the time of the forfeiture, together with all interest due thereon and any costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith.

 

 

 

 

6.4

The Board may accept the surrender of any shares which it is in a position to forfeit on such terms and conditions as may be agreed. Subject to those terms and conditions, a surrendered share shall be treated as if it had been forfeited.

Share Certificates

 

 

 

 

8.1

Subject to Bye-law 8.4, every Member shall be entitled to a certificate under the common seal of the Company (or a facsimile thereof) or bearing the signature (or a facsimile thereof) of a Director or Secretary or a person expressly authorised to sign specifying the number and, where appropriate, the class of shares held by such Member and whether the same are fully paid up and, if not, specifying the amount paid on such shares. The Board may by resolution determine, either generally or in a particular case, that any or all signatures on certificates may be printed thereon or affixed by mechanical means.

 

 

 

 

8.2

The Company shall be under no obligation to complete and deliver a share certificate unless specifically called upon to do so by the person to whom the shares have been allotted.

 

 

 

 

8.3

If any share certificate shall be proved to the satisfaction of the Board to have been worn out, lost, mislaid or destroyed the Board may cause a new certificate to be issued and request an indemnity for the lost certificate if it sees fit.

 

 

 

 

8.4

Notwithstanding any provisions of these Bye-laws:

 

 

 

 

 

(a)

the Board shall, subject always to the Act and any other applicable laws and regulations and the facilities and requirements of any relevant system concerned, have power to implement any arrangements it may, in its absolute discretion, think fit in relation to the evidencing of title to and transfer of uncertificated shares and to the extent such arrangements are so implemented, no provision of these Bye-laws shall apply or have effect to the extent that it is in any respect inconsistent with the holding or transfer of shares in uncertificated form; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(b)

unless otherwise determined by the Board and as permitted by the Act and any other applicable laws and regulations, no person shall be entitled to receive a




 

 

GasLog Ltd.

Page 9

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

certificate in respect of any share for so long as the title to that share is evidenced otherwise than by a certificate and for so long as transfers of that share may be made otherwise than by a written instrument.

 

 

 

 

9.

Fractional Shares

 

 

 

 

The Company may issue its shares in fractional denominations and deal with such fractions to the same extent as its whole shares and shares in fractional denominations shall have in proportion to the respective fractions represented thereby all of the rights of whole shares including (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing) the right to vote, to receive dividends and distributions and to participate in a winding-up.

 

 

 

REGISTRATION OF SHARES

 

 

 

10.

Register of Members

 

 

 

 

10.1

The Board shall cause to be kept in one or more books a Register of Members and shall enter therein the particulars required by the Act.

 

 

 

 

10.2

The Company may also keep one or more branch registers at such place or places outside Bermuda to the extent and in the manner permitted by the Act, and the Board may make such regulations as it thinks fit regarding the keeping of any branch register and may revoke or vary any such regulations. The Board may authorize any share on the Register of Members to be included in a branch register or any share registered on a branch register to be registered on another branch register, provided that at all times the Register of Members is maintained in accordance with the Act.

 

 

 

 

10.3

The Register of Members and any branch register shall be open to inspection without charge at the registered office of the Company on every business day, subject to such reasonable restrictions as the Board may impose, so that not less than two hours in each




 

 

GasLog Ltd.

business day be allowed for inspection. The Register of Members and each branch register may, after notice has been given in accordance with the Act, be closed for any time or times not exceeding in the whole thirty days in each year.

 

 

 

11.

Registered Holder Absolute Owner

 

 

 

 

The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any share as the absolute owner thereof and accordingly shall not be bound to recognise any equitable claim or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the part of any other person.

 

 

 

12.

Transfer of Registered Shares

 

 

 

 

12.1

An instrument of transfer shall be in writing in the form of the following, or as near thereto as circumstances admit, or in such other form as the Board may accept:

 

 

 

Transfer of a Share or Shares

GasLog Ltd. (the “Company”)

In the presence of:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Transferor

Transferee

 

                    Witness




 

 

GasLog Ltd.

Page 11

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12.2

Such instrument of transfer shall be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and transferee, provided that, in the case of a fully paid up share, the Board may accept the instrument signed by or on behalf of the transferor alone. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of such share until the same has been registered as having been transferred to the transferee in the Register of Members.

 

 

 

 

12.3

The Board may refuse to recognise any instrument of transfer unless it is accompanied by the certificate in respect of the shares to which it relates and by such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer.

 

 

 

 

12.4

Shares may be transferred without a written instrument if transferred by an appointed agent or otherwise in accordance with the Act.

 

 

 

 

12.5

The joint holders of any share may transfer such share to one or more of such joint holders, and the surviving holder or holders of any share previously held by them jointly with a deceased Member may transfer any such share to the executors or administrators of such deceased Member.

 

 

 

 

12.6

The Board may in its absolute discretion and without assigning any reason therefor refuse to register a transfer of a share which is not fully paid up.

 

 

 

 

12.7

The Board may refuse to register a transfer of a share unless all applicable consents, authorisations and permissions of any governmental body or agency in Bermuda have been obtained. The Board shall have the authority to request from any Member, and such Member shall provide, such information as the Board may reasonably request for the purpose of determining whether the transfer of any share requires such consent, authorisation or permission and whether the same has been obtained.




 

 

GasLog Ltd.

Page 12

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12.8

If the Board refuses to register a transfer of any share the Secretary shall, within three months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to the transferor and transferee notice of the refusal.

 

 

 

 

12.9

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Bye-laws, shares that are listed or admitted to trading on an appointed stock exchange may be transferred in accordance with the rules and regulations of such exchange.

 

 

 

13.

Transmission of Registered Shares

 

 

 

 

13.1

In the case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased Member was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased Member where the deceased Member was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to the deceased Member’s interest in the shares. Nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by such deceased Member with other persons. Subject to the Act, for the purpose of this Bye-law, legal personal representative means the executor or administrator of a deceased Member or such other person as the Board may, in its absolute discretion, decide as being properly authorised to deal with the shares of a deceased Member.

 

 

 

 

13.2

Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of any Member may be registered as a Member upon such evidence as the Board may deem sufficient or may elect to nominate some person to be registered as a transferee of such share, and in such case the person becoming entitled shall execute in favour of such nominee an instrument of transfer in writing in the form, or as near thereto as circumstances admit, of the following:

 

 

 

 

 

Transfer by a Person Becoming Entitled on Death/Bankruptcy of a Member

 

 

GasLog Ltd. (the “Company”)

 

 

 

 

 

I/We, having become entitled in consequence of the [death/bankruptcy] of [name and address of deceased/bankrupt Member] to [number] share(s) standing in the




 

 

 GasLog Ltd.

Page 13

 

 

   

 

 

 

Register of Members of the Company in the name of the said [name of deceased/bankrupt Member] instead of being registered myself/ourselves, elect to have [name of transferee] (the “Transferee”) registered as a transferee of such share(s) and I/we do hereby accordingly transfer the said share(s) to the Transferee to hold the same unto the Transferee, his or her executors, administrators and assigns, subject to the conditions on which the same were held at the time of the execution hereof; and the Transferee does hereby agree to take the said share(s) subject to the same conditions.


 

 

 

 

 

DATED this [ ] day of [ ], 20[ ]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Signed by:

 

In the presence of:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Transferor

Transferee

Witness


 

 

 

 

13.3

On the presentation of the foregoing materials to the Board, accompanied by such evidence as the Board may require to prove the title of the transferor, the transferee shall be registered as a Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall, in any case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as it would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before such Member’s death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.




 

 

 GasLog Ltd.

Page 14

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

13.4

Where two or more persons are registered as joint holders of a share or shares, then in the event of the death of any joint holder or holders the remaining joint holder or holders shall be absolutely entitled to such share or shares and the Company shall recognise no claim in respect of the estate of any joint holder except in the case of the last survivor of such joint holders.

 

 

 

ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

 

 

14.

Power to Alter Capital

 

 

 

 

14.1

The Company may, if authorised by a resolution of the Members including the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the votes attaching to all shares in issue, increase, divide, consolidate, subdivide, change the currency denomination of, diminish or otherwise alter or reduce its share capital in any manner permitted by the Act.

 

 

 

 

14.2

Where, on any alteration or reduction of share capital, fractions of shares or some other difficulty would arise, the Board may deal with or resolve the same in such manner as it thinks fit.

 

 

 

15.

Variation of Rights Attaching to Shares

 

 

 

If, at any time, the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound-up, be varied with the sanction of a resolution passed by the holders of a majority of the issued shares of such class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITALISATION

 

 

 

16.

Dividends

 

 

 

16.1

The Board may, subject to these Bye-laws and in accordance with the Act, declare a dividend to be paid to the Members, in proportion to the number of shares held by them, and such dividend may be paid in cash or wholly or partly in specie in which case the Board may fix the value for distribution in specie of any assets.

 

 

 

 

16.2

The Board may fix any date as the record date for determining the Members entitled to receive any dividend.

 

 

 

 

16.3

The Company may pay dividends in proportion to the amount paid up on each share where a larger amount is paid up on some shares than on others.

 

 

 

 

16.4

The Board may declare and make such other distributions (in cash or in specie) to the Members as may be lawfully made out of the assets of the Company.

 

 

 

 

16.5

No unpaid dividend, distribution or other moneys payable by the Company on or in respect of any share shall bear interest against the Company unless otherwise provided by the rights attached to such share.

 

 

 

17.

Power to Set Aside Profits

 

 

 

The Board may, before declaring a dividend or distribution, set aside out of the surplus or profits of the Company such amount as it thinks proper as a reserve to be used to meet contingencies or to secure equality of distribution or for any other purpose.

 

 

18.

Method of Payment

 

 

 

18.1

Any dividend, distribution or other moneys payable in respect of a share may be paid by such means as the Board shall determine, including by wire transfer or by direct




 

 

 GasLog Ltd.

Page 16

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

transfer to such bank account as the Member may direct, or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the address of the Member in the Register of Members (in the case of joint holders of shares, the senior joint holder, seniority being determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members). Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent or to such persons as the Member may direct, and payment of the cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company. Every such cheque or warrant shall be sent at the risk of the person entitled to the money represented thereby. If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any shares any one of them can give an effectual receipt for any dividend, distributions or other moneys payable in respect of such shares.

 

 

 

 

18.2

The Board may deduct from any dividend, distribution or other moneys payable to any Member all moneys due from such Member to the Company on account of calls or otherwise in respect of a share which is not fully paid up.

 

 

 

 

18.3

Any dividend, distribution or other moneys payable in respect of a share which has remained unclaimed for a period of six years from the date when it became due for payment shall, if the Board so resolves, be forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company. The payment of any unclaimed dividend, distribution or other moneys payable in respect of a share may (but need not) be paid by the Company into an account separate from the Company’s own account. Such payment shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof.

 

 

 

 

18.4

The Company shall be entitled to cease sending dividend cheques and warrants by post or otherwise to a Member if those instruments have been returned undelivered to, or left uncashed by, that Member on at least two consecutive occasions, or, following one such occasion, reasonable enquiries have failed to establish the Member’s new address. The entitlement conferred on the Company by this Bye-law 18.4 in respect of any Member shall cease if the Member claims a dividend or cashes a dividend cheque or warrant.

33.

Representation of Corporate Member
