This amendment to the Original Schedule 13D constitutes an exit filing with respect to the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby supplemented by adding the following:

On August 25, 2021, the Issuer, Navios Maritime Partners LP (“NMM”) and Navios Acquisition Merger Sub. Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NMM (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Merger Agreement, on October 15, 2021, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), and each outstanding share of Common Stock (other than the shares of Common Stock held by NMM, the Issuer and their respective subsidiaries) was converted into 0.1275 of a common unit of NMM.

In the Merger, the 4,865,147 shares of Common Stock that had been beneficially owned by Navios Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiary Alpha Merit Corporation (“Alpha”) were converted into a total of 620,306 common units of NMM.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

By virtue of the Merger, as of October 15, 2021, Navios Holdings and Alpha no longer beneficially own shares of Common Stock. As a result, this amendment to the Original Schedule 13D constitutes an exit filing with respect to the Original Schedule 13D.
