Exhibit 99.1
GasLog Partners LP Announces Closing of its Public Offering of 4,500,000 Common Units and First Option Vessels Acquisition from GasLog Ltd.
MONACO, September 29, 2014 – GasLog Partners LP (“GasLog Partners” or the “Partnership”) (NYSE: GLOP) today announced the closing of its public offering of 4,500,000 common units representing limited partner interests (the “common units”). The public offering price was $31.00 per common unit. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses, and including approximately $2.85 million received from GasLog Ltd. to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership, were approximately $136 million.
The Partnership used the net proceeds from the offering to fund the previously announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of 100% of the ownership interests in GAS-sixteen Ltd. and GAS-seventeen Ltd., the entities that own the liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) carriers the Methane Rita Andrea and the Methane Jane Elizabeth, respectively, from GasLog Ltd. (NYSE: GLOG), and to prepay amounts under an existing credit facility related to the vessels being acquired. The Acquisition closed concurrently with the closing of the offering.
With the completion of the Acquisition, the Partnership’s management intends to recommend to the Board an increase in the Partnership’s quarterly cash distribution per unit of between $0.05625 and $0.06250, an increase of approximately 15% above the existing minimum quarterly cash distribution, and an annualized increase of between $0.225 and $0.250 per unit, which would become effective for the Partnership’s cash distribution with respect to the quarter ending December 31, 2014. When combined with the existing minimum quarterly cash distribution of $0.375, this proposed increase would result in a cash distribution of between $0.43125 to $0.43750 per quarter. Any such increase would be conditioned upon, among other things, the approval of such increase by the Board and the absence of any material adverse developments or potentially attractive opportunities that would make such an increase inadvisable.
Andy Orekar, Chief Executive Officer of GasLog Partners, stated, “The successful completion of GasLog Partners’ first dropdown acquisition only five months after our IPO marks a significant milestone for the Partnership. This transaction delivers immediate accretion to GasLog Partners’ distributable cash flow per unit, while the remaining multi-year pipeline of eligible dropdown vessels at GasLog Ltd. provides a highly visible path to future growth. Furthermore, we believe GasLog Partners’ conservative balance sheet, bolstered by this equity offering, provides us flexibility to pursue additional acquisitions and substantially grow cash distributions for our unitholders.”
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. and Evercore Group L.L.C. acted as joint book-running managers and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., DNB Markets, Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and UBS Investment Bank acted as co-managers for the offering.
