Update to Legal Proceedings

On March 30, 2016, Navios South American Logistics Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice from Vale International S.A. (“Vale International”) stating that Vale International will not be performing the service contract entered between Corporacion Navios S.A. and Vale International on September 27, 2013, relating to the iron ore port facility currently under construction in Nueva Palmira, Uruguay. The Company believes that Vale International’s position is without merit and initiated arbitration proceedings in London on June 10, 2016 pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of the service contract. No assurances can be provided that the Company will prevail in the arbitration or that Vale International will finally perform the contract. If Vale International fails to perform, there may be a significant impact on the Company’s future business. While the arbitration proceedings are confidential, the Company will seek to provide periodic updates.
