On October 24, 2013, Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition”) issued a press release announcing the delivery of the Nave Lucida, a 2005-built MR2 product tanker of 47,999 dwt. The Nave Lucida has been chartered out to a high quality counterparty for one year at a base rate of $12,500 (net) per day, plus 100% profit sharing up to $14,000 (net) per day; thereafter, profit sharing will be split 50%/50%. The charterer of the Nave Lucida has been granted an option for an additional year at an increased rate of $13,500 (net) per day, plus 100% profit sharing up to $15,000 (net) per day; thereafter, profit sharing will be split 50%/50%. Navios Acquisition also announced that the Nave Dorado has been chartered to the same high quality counterparty as the Nave Lucida on identical terms. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
