　　Any remaining proceeds can go to paying transaction costs and expenses incurred in connection with the private placement and/or general corporate purposes.

　　GasLog operates a fleet of 35 LNG carriers. Of these, 17 (15 on the water and two on order) are owned by the company themselves three have been sold to a subsidiary of Mitsui, CMBFL and ICBC respectively, and leased back under long-term charters, and the remaining 15 LNG carriers are owned by the company’s subsidiary GasLog Partners.
