On October 15, 2021, Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“NMM”) completed the merger contemplated by the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of August 25, 2021, by and among NMM, its direct wholly-owned subsidiary Navios Acquisition Merger Sub. Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“NNA”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into NNA, with NNA continuing as the surviving corporation. As a result of the Merger, NNA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NMM.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding common share of NNA that was held by a shareholder other than (i) shares held by NMM, NNA and their respective subsidiaries and (ii) shares that were subject to vesting or other forfeiture conditions (the “NNA Merger Shares”) was converted into the right to receive 0.1275 of a common unit of NMM. As a result of the Merger, approximately 3.4 million common units of NMM were issued to former holders of NNA Merger Shares.

The issuance of NMM common units in connection with the Merger was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to NMM’s Registration Statement on Form F-4, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 14, 2021, as amended (the “F-4”). The F-4 was declared effective on September 23, 2021. The proxy statement/prospectus included with the F-4 contains additional information about the Merger.

On October 15, 2021, NMM issued a press release announcing the completion of the Merger. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in this report, except the second paragraph of Exhibit 99.1, which contains a quote by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NMM, is hereby incorporated by reference into NMM’s Registration Statement on Form F-3, File No. 333-237934.
