N/A
Offering of Notes
On September 30, 2010, Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios
Acquisition”) issued a press release
announcing its intent to offer approximately $375.0 million of first
priority ship mortgage notes due 2017. On October 6, 2010, Navios
Acquisition issued a press release announcing the pricing
of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8 5/8% first priority
ship mortgage notes due 2017 (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 Notes will be secured by first priority ship mortgages on six very
large crude carrier vessels aggregating approximately 1.8 million deadweight tons owned
by certain subsidiary guarantors. On the issue date of the Notes,
each of Navios Acquisition’s direct and indirect subsidiaries is
expected to guarantee the Notes. The sale of the Notes is expected
to be consummated on October 21, 2010, subject to customary closing conditions.
The net proceeds of the offering are intended to be used to repay borrowings under
certain of Navios Acquisition’s existing credit facilities.
Copies of the press releases are furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Report
and are incorporated herein by reference.
This Report on Form 6-K is hereby incorporated by reference into the Navios Maritime
Acquisition Corporation Registration Statements on Form F-3, File Nos. 333-151707 and 333-169320.
