NOTE 23 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 4, 2021, Navios Containers and the Company announced that they entered into a definitive merger agreement under which the Company will acquire all of the publicly held common units of Navios Containers in exchange for common units of the Company (the “Transaction”). Under the terms of the Transaction, public unitholders of Navios Containers will receive 0.39 of a common unit of the Company for each outstanding common unit of Navios Containers. The Transaction was approved by the necessary common unit holders of Navios Containers at a special meeting held on March 24, 2021. The General Partner of Navios Containers has consented to the merger, and the Company voted the Navios Containers’ common units it holds in favor of the Transaction. The Transaction is expected to close on or about March 31, 2021. The expenses of this transaction are included in the General and Administrative expenses, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Navios Partners intends to account for the merger “as a business combination achieved in stages,” which will result in the application of the “acquisition method,” as defined under ASC 805, Business Combinations. Navios Partners’ previously held equity interest in Navios Containers will be remeasured to its fair value at the date the controlling interest is acquired and the resulting gain/(loss) will be recognized in earnings. Under the acquisition method, the fair value of the consideration paid by Navios Partners in connection with the transaction will be allocated to Navios Containers’ net assets based on their estimated fair values at the date of the completion of the merger. The purchase price allocation is subject to finalization as Navios Partners completes the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The assets and liabilities and results of operations of Navios Containers will be included in Navios Partners’ consolidated results of operations from and only for periods subsequent to the closing of the acquisition.

On January 13, 2021, the Company completed the sale of the Esperanza N, a 2008-built Containership of 2,007 TEU to an unrelated third party for a net sale price of $4,559. Pursuant to the sale of the vessel, an amount of $3,369 was repaid under the ABN $23.5m Credit Facility.
