On March 31, 2014, Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company and Navios Acquisition Finance (US) Inc. (together with Navios Acquisition, the “Co-Issuers”) completed a private offering of $60 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.125% First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including to replace cash on its balance sheet that was used to partially finance the acquisition cost of the Nave Buena Suerte, which was previously delivered on March 10, 2014. The Notes were offered and sold in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and in offshore transactions to non-United States persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

The terms of the Notes are identical to the terms of the $610 million of 8.125% First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes due 2021 that were issued in November 2013 (the “Existing Notes”) pursuant to the indenture dated November 13, 2013, among the Co-Issuers, the guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee and collateral trustee (the “Indenture”). Each of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries that guarantees the Existing Notes also guarantees the Notes. The Notes and the Existing Notes have the same terms and ranking and are treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture (including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and other offers to purchase). The third supplemental indenture to the Indenture in respect of the Notes is attached as Exhibit 4.3 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Additionally, on January 8, 2014 and February 20, 2014, the Co-Issuers, the guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee and collateral trustee, entered into the first supplemental indenture to the Indenture and the second supplemental indenture to the Indenture, respectively, to add the entities identified therein as guarantors. A copy of the first supplemental indenture and the second supplemental indenture are attached as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

This Report is hereby incorporated by reference into Navios Acquisition’s Registration Statement on Form F-3, File No. 333-191266.

Exhibit 99.1

Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation Announces Closing of $60 Million 8.125% First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes Due 2021

MONACO — (Marketwired) — 03/31/14 — Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NNA) announced today that the Company and Navios Acquisition Finance (US) Inc., its wholly owned finance subsidiary, completed the sale of $60 million of 8.125% first priority ship mortgage notes due 2021 (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered and sold in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and in offshore transactions to non-United States persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The terms of the Notes are identical to the $610 million of notes issued in November 2013 (the “Existing Notes”) and, as of closing, are secured by first priority ship mortgages on 11 vessels owned by certain subsidiary guarantors and certain associated property and contract rights. Each of Navios Acquisition’s direct and indirect subsidiaries that guarantee the Existing Notes guarantee the Notes. The Notes and the Existing Notes have the same terms and ranking and are treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture (including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and other offers to purchase).

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including to replace cash on its balance sheet that was used to partially finance the acquisition cost of the Nave Buena Suerte, which was previously delivered on March 10, 2014.

The Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to or for the benefit of U.S. persons unless so registered except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable securities laws in other jurisdictions.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities, and does not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any Notes or other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offer of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.

This press release contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) concerning future events and Navios Acquisition’s growth strategy and measures to implement such strategy; including expected vessel acquisitions and entering into further time charters.
