1. Organization and Operations

        GasLog Ltd. ("GasLog") was incorporated in Bermuda on July 16, 2003. GasLog and its subsidiaries (the "Group") are primarily engaged in the ownership, operation and management of vessels in the liquefied natural gas ("LNG") market, providing maritime services for the transportation of LNG on a worldwide basis and LNG vessel management services. The Group conducts its operations through its vessel-owning subsidiaries and through its vessel management services subsidiary. The Group's operations are carried out from offices in Piraeus, London, New York, Singapore and Monaco. The registered office of GasLog is Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda. GasLog's chairman, Peter G. Livanos, is GasLog's largest shareholder through his ownership of Ceres Shipping Ltd. ("Ceres Shipping"), which controls Blenheim Holdings Ltd. As of June 30, 2018, entities controlled by members of the Livanos family, including GasLog's chairman, are deemed to beneficially own approximately 40.11% of GasLog's issued and outstanding common shares. As a result of his ownership of GasLog's common shares, Mr. Livanos can effectively control the outcome of most matters on which GasLog's shareholders are entitled to vote.

        As of June 30, 2018, GasLog held a 29.1% interest (including the 2% interest through general partner units) in GasLog Partners LP ("GasLog Partners" or the "Partnership") and, as a result of its ownership of the general partner, and the fact that the general partner elects the majority of the Partnership's directors in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, GasLog has the ability to control the Partnership's affairs and policies. Consequently, GasLog Partners is consolidated in the Group's financial statements.

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of GasLog and its subsidiaries. Unless indicated otherwise, the subsidiaries listed below are 100% held (either directly or indirectly) by GasLog. As of June 30, 2018, the Group's structure is as follows:

On February 24, 2016, GAS-twenty six Ltd. completed the sale and leaseback of the Methane Julia Louise with a subsidiary of Mitsui Co. Ltd. ("Mitsui"). Refer to Note 6.

On October 1, 2015, GasLog Carriers, Dynagas Ltd. ("Dynagas") and Golar LNG Limited ("Golar") ("Pool Owners") and The Cool Pool Limited signed a LNG carrier pooling agreement (the "LNG Carrier Pool" or "Pool Agreement") to market their vessels, which are currently operating in the LNG shipping spot market.

As of June 30, 2018, the LNG Carrier Pool—named the "Cool Pool"—consists of 17 modern, high quality and essentially equivalent vessels powered by fuel efficient tri-fuel diesel electric ("TFDE") propulsion technology. The participation of the Pool Owners' vessels in the Cool Pool is as follows: Dynagas: one vessel; GasLog: six vessels; and Golar: ten vessels. Each vessel owner continues to be fully responsible for the staffing and technical management of their respective vessels. For the operation of the Cool Pool, a Marshall Islands service company named "The Cool Pool Limited" or the "Pool Manager", was incorporated in September 2015 acting as an agent. In June and July 2018, Dynagas Ltd. removed its three vessels from the Cool Pool.

On January 12, 2018, GasLog entered into a shipbuilding contract with Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd (“Samsung”)  for the construction of a 180,000 cbm GTT Mark III Flex LNG Carrier with LP-2S propulsion (Hull No. 2213) that is scheduled to be delivered in the second quarter of 2020. This vessel will be the vessel to be chartered to Centrica for an initial period of approximately seven years. The 180,000 cbm GTT Mark III Flex Plus LNG Carrier with LP-2S propulsion (Hull No. 2212) to be delivered in the third quarter of 2019 is currently without charter.
