Navios Maritime Partners, a publicly traded MLP, an international owner and<br />

operator of dry cargo vessels, was formed by Navios Maritime Holdings Inc.<br />

(NYSE: NM), a vertically integrated seaborne shipping company with 55 years<br />

of operating history in the dry bulk shipping industry.<br />

NMM’s young, modern and high quality fleet consists of 14 vessels, including<br />

ten Panamax, three Capesize and one Ultra-Handymax with an average age of<br />

about 6.3 years, significantly younger than the industry average of about 15.3<br />

years.<br />

Its vessels are chartered-out under medium to long-term time charters with an<br />

average remaining term of approximately 4.0 years to a diversified customer<br />

base with strong creditworthy counterparties. NMM’s charter-out contracts are<br />

insured by a AA+ rated European Union Governmental Agency. An agreement<br />

with NM, fixes vessel operating costs for NMM’s fleet until November 2011.<br />

The Company’s common units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange<br />

under the symbol “NMM.”<br />

CEO Message<br />

Ms. Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief<br />

Executive Officer of Navios Maritime<br />

Partners, commented: “In the 18 months<br />

since we went public, we increased<br />

distributions by 18.6%, and grew our fleet<br />

by over 83.8%, from 626,100 dwt to over<br />

1.1 million dwt. We did this all while also<br />

maintaining a strong balance sheet.<br />

Our cash distribution per unit was $0.415 for Q1 2010 or $1.66 on an annualized<br />

basis, reflecting a yield of 10.1% based on the unit closing price of $16.45 on<br />

May 11, 2010.<br />

We are optimistic about the long term fundamentals of the dry bulk sector and<br />

believe NMM is well positioned to take advantage of growth opportunities in<br />

2010 and provide its unit holders with sustainable and attractive cash<br />

distributions.”
