Borrowings - Financial Liabilities (Narrative II)

On December 5, 2022, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback agreement of $10,500 with an unrelated third party for the Navios Sagittarius, a 2006-built Panamax vessel of 75,756 dwt. The bareboat charter-in provides for purchase options with de-escalating purchase prices starting on the end of the third year. In December 2022, Navios Partners declared its option to purchase the vessel at the end of the fourth year of the bareboat charter-in agreement, preserving the right to exercise the purchase option earlier during the option period. Under ASC 842-40, the transfer of the vessel was determined to be a failed sale. In accordance with ASC 842-40, the Company did not derecognize the respective vessel from its balance sheet and accounted for the amount received under the sale and leaseback agreement as a financial liability. On December 15, 2022, the amount of $10,500 was drawn. The agreement matures in the fourth quarter of 2026 and following the amendment dated July 3, 2023 bears interest at Term SOFR plus 241 bps per annum.

Pursuant to a novation agreement dated January 28, 2022, the Company agreed to novate the shipbuilding contract and to simultaneously enter into a bareboat charter agreement to bareboat charter-in a newbuilding Kamsarmax vessel of 82,010 dwt, under a ten-year bareboat contract, from an unrelated third party, the Navios Meridian. The bareboat charter-in provides for purchase options with de-escalating purchase prices starting on the end of the fourth year. In January 2022, Navios Partners declared its option to purchase the vessel at the end of the tenth year of the bareboat charter-in agreement, preserving the right to exercise the purchase option earlier during the option period. The Company-lessee has performed an assessment based on provisions of ASC 842 and concluded that it controls the underlying asset that is under construction before the commencement date of the lease and as such, a sale and leaseback of the asset occurs at the commencement date of the lease (upon the completion of construction). Under ASC 842-40, the transfer of the vessel was determined to be a failed sale. In February 2023, Navios Partners took delivery of the Navios Meridian and recognized an amount of $27,440 as financial liability in accordance with ASC 842-40.

The bareboat charter-in provides for purchase options with de-escalating purchase prices starting on the end of the fourth year. Navios Partners has a purchase option to acquire the vessel at the end of the lease term and given the fact that such exercise price is not equal to the fair value of the asset at the end of the lease term, the transaction was determined to be a failed sale.
