AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SCHEDULE TO
This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as may be further supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Schedule TO”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2018 relating to an offer (the “Exchange Offer”) by Navios Maritime Holdings Inc., a Republic of Marshall Islands corporation (the “Company”), to acquire 946,100 outstanding American Depositary Shares (“Series G ADSs”), each representing 1/100th of a share of 8.75% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock and 1,907,600 outstanding American Depositary Shares (“Series H ADSs”), each representing 1/100th of a share of 8.625% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock from tendering holders of Series G ADSs and Series H ADSs, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions described in the prospectus, dated January 11, 2019 (the “Prospectus”).
Except as set forth herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule TO or the Prospectus. All information in the Prospectus, including all exhibits and annexes thereto, are hereby expressly incorporated by reference into this Amendment No. 1 in response to all items required in the Schedule TO. This Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Schedule TO and Exhibits thereto and the Prospectus. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 1 and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented.
| Item 11. | Additional Information. |
Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following information:
On January 23, 2019, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company and five of its directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by a purported holder of Series G ADSs and Series H ADSs. The complaint asserts claims for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified monetary damages, a declaration that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties, a declaration that the consent solicitation is invalid, and an award of plaintiff’s costs. The Company believes that the asserted claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the complaint.
