Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. Announces Increase in Consideration and Extension of Time under the Series G ADS Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation

Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. previously launched an exchange offer (the “Series G ADS Exchange Offer”) and consent solicitation (collectively, the “Series G ADS Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation”) to exchange cash and/or newly issued 9.75% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) for approximately 66 2/3% of the outstanding American Depositary Shares, representing 1/100th of a share of 8.75% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series G ADSs”).

Amended Series G ADS Exchange Offer

As of March 29, 2019, there were 900,453 Series G ADSs validly tendered for cash and/or Notes. The Company seeks up to 946,100 Series G ADSs (representing 66 2/3% of outstanding Series G ADSs).

Under the amended terms of the Series G ADS Exchange Offer, for each Series G ADS tendered, the Company is offering:

• $8.00 in cash; and/or
• $8.78 principal amount of the Notes; plus
• $1.00 in cash, which shall not be subject to the cash cap described below (the “Additional Series G ADS Cash Consideration”).


The revised consideration for the Series G ADSs of $9.00 ($8.00 + $1.00) and $9.78 ($8.78 + $1.00) represents a premium of (1) 161% per share in cash and (2) 183% per share in Notes to the unaffected share price of the Series G ADSs at the initial launch of the Series G ADS Exchange Offer.

The Company is also extending the expiration date relating to the Series G ADS Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation through 11:59 pmNew York City time on Friday, April 12, 2019 (the “Extended Series G ADS Expiration Date”).

Other Considerations Relating to the Series G ADS Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation

Excluding the Additional Series G ADS Cash Consideration, no more than 50% of the Series G ADSs, as a class, tendered will receive cash. Holders of Series G ADSs tendered in excess of this limitation will be deemed to have elected to receive Notes instead on a pro rata basis (the “cash cap”).

If Series G ADSs are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in excess of the number of Series G ADSs set forth above that the Company is seeking in the Series G ADS Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, they will be subject to the tender acceptance proration procedures described in the Prospectus (as defined below). Holders who wish to tender their Series G ADSs must deliver, or cause to be delivered, their Series G ADSs and other required documents to the exchange agent before the Extended Series G ADS Expiration Date.

Fractional interest in the Notes will not be issued for Series G ADSs. Instead, any holder who would otherwise receive a fractional interest in the Notes will have its distribution of Notes rounded down to the nearest $25.00 denomination and will receive a cash payment equal to the principal amount of the fractional interest. If you have already tendered your Series G ADSs in the Series G ADS Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation you do not need to take further action to receive the increased consideration.
