Board Leadership Structure

Our Board leadership structure consists of our Chairman, the senior independent director and the chairmen of our Board committees. Our operational management is headed by Paul Wogan, our Chief Executive Officer, or “CEO”. Mr. Wogan, as CEO, is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Company, which includes decisions relating to the Company’s general management and control of its affairs and business and works with our Board in developing our business strategy. The Board does not have a policy mandating that the roles of CEO and Chairman be held by separate individuals, but believes that at this time the separation of such roles is appropriate and beneficial to shareholders.

Dennis M. Houston, who serves as our senior independent director, acts as a liaison to facilitate communication between independent directors and our Chairman to ensure that the Board functions in an effective manner.

Independence

The following directors have been determined by our Board to be independent within the current meanings of independence employed by the corporate governance rules of the NYSE and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”): David P. Conner, William M. Friedrich, Dennis M. Houston, Donald J. Kintzer and Anthony S. Papadimitriou.

Compensation of Directors

Our non-executive directors receive:

•

an annual fee of $120,000;

•

an additional annual fee of $20,000 to the senior independent director;

•

additional annual fees of $100,000 to the Chairman of the Board, $50,000 to the chairman of the audit and risk committee and $20,000 to the chairmen of the compensation committee, corporate governance and nominating committee and HSSE committee;

•

additional annual fees of $25,000 to each member of the audit and risk committee and $10,000 to each member of the compensation committee, corporate governance and nominating committee and HSSE committee (in each case other than the chairmen of such committees); and

•

additional annual fees of $20,000 to each board member who also serves as a member of the board of directors of GasLog Partners LP.

The Board may determine that a portion of the above fees will be paid in shares rather than cash.

We did not set aside or accrue amounts in the year ended December 31, 2016 to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits to our directors.

In addition, our directors receive reimbursement for their out-of-pocket expenses including travel costs and other short-term benefits. We do not have any service contracts with our directors that provide for benefits upon termination of their services.

Compensation of Senior Management

For 2016, our executive officers were Paul Wogan, Simon Crowe and Graham Westgarth. Compensation for our executive officers in 2016 consisted of base salary and employee benefits that are generally provided to employees, including eligibility to receive a cash incentive bonus pursuant to our Management Incentive Plan, or “MIP”. The MIP provides all shore-based personnel (which includes our executive officers) an opportunity to earn a cash incentive payment based on a target percentage of the participant’s annual base salary, subject to the achievement of pre-established individual and Company performance objectives, as well as a factor based on Company discretion. Each participant’s target percentage of annual base salary and the weightings assigned to the individual and Company performance objectives and the Company discretionary component are dependent on the participant’s organization (band) level. No amounts will be paid under the MIP to any participant who fails to achieve 50.0% of his or her target individual performance objectives. In 2016, the Company performance objectives were measured against three equally-weighted key business indicators: Free Cash Flow per Share, Absolute Return on Invested Capital and three-year rolling average Relative Total Shareholder Return. In addition, Company performance is evaluated against a safety factor based on Personal Safety, Significant Incidents and Leading Indicators, in which a failure to meet the safety target may result in a reduction of the Company performance payout factor. Under the individual and Company performance objectives, stretch goals are established, which, if met, can result in a payout of up to 120.0% of the individual’s target payout. The Company discretionary component may not

increase an individual’s payment to more than 200.0% of his or her target payout. The amounts paid to our executive officers in 2016 pursuant to the MIP were determined based on the following weightings: individual performance (30.0%), Company performance (50.0%) and Company discretion (20.0%).

The aggregate amount of cash compensation, including cash incentive compensation, paid to our executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $2.69 million.

In addition, each of our executive officers was eligible to receive equity-based compensation awards in accordance with the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, or the “Plan”. On April 1, 2016, we granted our executive officers an aggregate of 232,871 stock options and 58,377 restricted stock units under the Plan, with an aggregate fair value as of the grant date of $1.08 million. The stock options have an exercise price per share of $9.28 and will vest in three equal annual installments, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued service. The restricted stock units vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued service. The stock options and the restricted stock units may be settled in cash or common shares, or a combination thereof, at our discretion.

We generally determine during the February meeting of the board of the directors each year which individuals, if any, will be eligible to receive equity-based compensation awards under the Plan for such year and the amount of awards each participant will be eligible to receive. In addition, we intend to grant such awards on April 1 of such year (or, should April 1 of such year fall on a weekend or bank holiday, on the first business day thereafter).

We did not set aside or accrue any amounts in the year ended December 31, 2016 to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits to our directors or executive officers.

Board Practices

Our Board consists of 10 members. The Board may change the number of directors to not less than three, nor more than fifteen. Each director shall be elected to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until his successor is elected or appointed, except in the event of removal, death, disability, disqualification or resignation. A vacancy on the Board created by removal, death, disability, disqualification or resignation of a director, or as a result of an increase in the size of the Board, may be filled by the shareholders or by the Board.

We are a “foreign private issuer” under the securities laws of the United States and the rules of the NYSE. Under the securities laws of the United States, “foreign private issuers” are subject to different disclosure requirements than U.S. domiciled registrants, as well as different financial reporting requirements. Under the NYSE rules, a “foreign private issuer” is subject to less stringent corporate governance requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the rules of the NYSE permit a “foreign private issuer” to follow its home country practice in lieu of the listing requirements of the NYSE, including (i) the requirement that a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, (ii) the requirement that the nominating committee be composed entirely of independent directors and have a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, (iii) the requirement that the compensation committee be composed entirely of independent directors and have a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (iv) the requirement of an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees. Our Board has determined that five of our 10 nominees are independent within the current meanings of independence employed by the corporate governance rules of the NYSE and the SEC. We have one or more non-independent directors serving as committee members on our compensation committee and our corporate governance and nominating committee. As a result, non-independent directors may, among other things, participate in fixing the compensation of our management, making share and option awards and resolving governance issues regarding our Company. Accordingly, in the future you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.

Committees of the Board

Audit and Risk Committee

Our audit and risk committee consists of Messrs. Conner, Friedrich, Houston and Kintzer with Mr. Kintzer serving as the committee chairman.

Corporate Governance

The Board and our Company’s management engage in an ongoing review of our corporate governance practices in order to oversee our compliance with the applicable corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the SEC.

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for all directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company.

This document and other important information on our governance are posted on our website and may be viewed at http://www.gaslogltd.com. Reference to our website is for informational purposes only; our website is not incorporated by reference in this proxy statement. We will also provide a paper copy of any of these documents upon the written request of a shareholder at no cost. Shareholders may direct their requests to the attention of Nicola Lloyd, General Counsel, at Gildo Pastor Center, 7 Rue du Gabian, MC 98000, Monaco.

Shareholder Proposals for Annual Meeting

Our Bye-laws provide that shareholders seeking to nominate candidates for election as directors or to bring business before an annual meeting of shareholders must provide timely notice of their proposal in writing to our Secretary. Generally, to be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting of shareholders. Our Bye-laws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a shareholder’s notice. These provisions may impede shareholders’ ability to bring matters before, or to make nominations for directors at, an annual meeting of shareholders. Individuals proposed as candidates for election as director by shareholders in accordance with these procedures will receive the same consideration which was given to individuals identified through other means to the corporate governance and nominating committee.

Shareholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board, may do so by writing to Sarah Larkins, Assistant Company Secretary, at Gildo Pastor Center, 7 Rue du Gabian, MC 98000, Monaco.
