execution of a definitive agreement, approval of the board of
directors of Navios Acquisition and the necessary approvals of the
conflicts committee of Navios Midstream under Navios Midstream’s
limited partnership agreement. The consummation of the proposed
transaction would be subject to customary closing conditions. There
can be no assurance that any such approvals will be forthcoming,
that a definitive agreement will be executed, or that any
transaction will be consummated.
