(NYSE: NMM) (together "Navios") announced today the formation of Navios Europe (II) Inc. and closing of the transaction for the acquisition of 14 vessels from debtors of HSH Nordbank AG ("HSH").

Two of the vessels have been delivered, one is expected to be delivered within this week and 10 vessels are expected to be delivered by the end of July. The remaining vessel is expected to be delivered by mid-November.

Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased to announce a second transaction with HSH where we are acquiring vessels at historically low values and with favorable economics that are better than the first transaction."

Fleet Purchase Price

The purchase price consists of (1) $145.3 million in cash and (2) the assumption of $182.5 million Subordinated HSH Participating Loan ("HSH Junior Loan"). The cash payment is funded as follows:

• $135.0 million senior bank debt provided by Deutsche Bank AG and ABN AMRO Bank N.V ("Senior Debt")

• $14.0 million investment from Navios

Principal and interest on the HSH Junior Loan will only be repaid from net cash flow and net sale proceeds from the sale of vessels in accordance with the distribution waterfall.

There are no holding company guarantees from any of the Navios public entities for Senior Debt and HSH Junior Loan.

Navios will provide additional working capital ("Navios Working Capital Loans") to Navios Europe (II) Inc. on a priority basis. The Navios Working Capital Loans will accrue preferred interest and will be repaid out of Navios Europe (II) Inc. cash balances and proceeds of vessel sales.

The material terms of the transaction were generally in accordance with the letter of intent signed with HSH in April 2015.

Distributions
Comparable to the first transaction, Navios Europe (II) Inc. will receive an annual preferred return on its $14.0 million investment and a priority return of this investment upon the sale of vessels. Thereafter, cash flow from operations or sales will be shared between Navios Europe (II) Inc. and HSH until the amounts outstanding on the HSH Junior Loan have been repaid.
