PROXY STATEMENT FOR

NAVIOS MARITIME PARTNERS L.P.

2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF LIMITED PARTNERS

TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2024

GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ANNUAL MEETING

Why Did You Send Me this Proxy Statement?

We sent you this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card because our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2024 annual meeting of Limited Partners and any adjournments of the meeting to be held at 11:30 a.m., local time, on Thursday, December 19, 2024, at our offices at 7 Avenue de Grande Bretagne, Office 11B2, Monaco. This proxy statement, along with the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Limited Partners, summarizes the purposes of the meeting and the information you need to know to vote at the annual meeting.

On November 18, 2024, we will begin sending this proxy statement, the attached notice of annual meeting and the enclosed proxy card to all Limited Partners entitled to vote at the meeting. You can find a copy of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 20-F on the Internet through our website at www.navios-mlp.com or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s electronic data system called EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Who Can Vote?

On November 13, 2024, we had outstanding 29,807,098 common units and 622,296 general partner units. Each Limited Partner of record at the close of business on November 13, 2024 is entitled to vote. One or more Limited Partners holding at least 33% of the total voting rights represented in person or by proxy at the annual meeting shall be a quorum for the purposes of the annual meeting. The common units represented by any proxy in the enclosed form will be voted in accordance with the instructions given on the proxy if the proxy is properly executed and is received by us prior to the close of voting at the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Any proxies returned without instructions will be voted FOR the proposals set forth on the Notice of Annual Meeting of Limited Partners.

The common units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NMM.”

You do not need to attend the annual meeting to vote your common units. Common units represented by valid proxies, received in time for the meeting and not revoked prior to the meeting, will be voted at the meeting. A Limited Partner may revoke a proxy before the proxy is voted by delivering to our Secretary a signed statement of revocation or a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date. Any Limited Partner who has executed a proxy card but attends the meeting in person may revoke the proxy and vote at the meeting.

How Many Votes Do I Have?

Each common unit of Navios Maritime Partners L.P. that you own entitles you to one vote, subject to the provisions our limited partnership agreement.

How Do I Vote?

Whether you plan to attend the annual meeting or not, we urge you to vote by proxy. Voting by proxy will not affect your right to attend the annual meeting. If your common units are registered directly in your name through our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, or you have physical certificates, you may vote:

•

By mail. Complete and mail the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage prepaid envelope. Your proxy will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you sign the proxy card but do not specify how you want your common units voted, they will be voted as recommended by our Board of Directors.

•

In person at the meeting. If you attend the meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person or you may vote by completing a ballot, which will be available at the meeting.

If your common units are held in “street name” (held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee), you must provide the bank, broker or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your common units and can do so as follows:

•

By mail. You will receive instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee explaining how to vote your common units.

•

In person at the meeting. Contact the bank, broker or other nominee who holds your common units to obtain a broker’s proxy card and bring it with you to the meeting. You will not be able to vote at the meeting unless you have a proxy card from your broker.

“Street name” holders may vote by telephone or Internet if their bank, broker or other nominee makes those methods available, in which case the bank, broker or other nominee will enclose the instructions with the proxy materials. The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate Limited Partners’ identities, to allow Limited Partners to vote their common units, and to confirm that their instructions have been recorded properly.

How Does the Board of Directors Recommend That I Vote on the Proposals?

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote as follows:

•

“FOR” the election of the nominees for the Class I directors; and

•

“FOR” the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm for our current fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

If any other matter is presented, the proxy card provides that your common units will be voted by the proxy holder listed on the proxy card in accordance with his or her best judgment. At the time this proxy statement was printed, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the annual meeting, other than those discussed in this proxy statement.

May I Revoke My Proxy?

If you give us your proxy, you may revoke it at any time before the annual meeting. You may revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:

•

signing a new proxy card and submitting it as instructed above;

•

notifying our Secretary in writing before the annual meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

•

attending the meeting in person and voting in person. Attending the meeting in person will not in and of itself revoke a previously submitted proxy unless you specifically request it.

What Vote is Required to Approve Each Proposal and How are Votes Counted?


Proposal 1: Elect the Class I Directors		The nominees for Class I directors who receive the most votes (also known as a “plurality” of the votes) will be elected. You may either vote FOR either or both of the nominees or WITHHOLD your vote from either or both of the nominees. Votes that are withheld will not be included in the vote tally for the election of the Class I directors. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote customers’ unvoted common units held by the firms in street name for the election of directors. As a result, any common units not voted by a beneficial owner will be treated as a broker non-vote. Such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.

Proposal 2: Ratify Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm		The affirmative vote of the majority of votes present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the annual meeting is required to ratify the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions will be treated as votes against this proposal. Brokerage firms have authority to vote customers’ unvoted common units held by the firms in street name on this proposal. If a broker does not exercise this authority, such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote. We are not required to obtain the approval of our limited partners to select our independent accountants. However, if our limited partners do not ratify the selection of Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors-Accountants S.A. as our independent accountants for 2024, our Audit Committee of our Board of Directors will reconsider its selection.

What Constitutes a Quorum for the Meeting?

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of at least 33% of our outstanding common units is necessary to constitute a quorum at the meeting. Votes of common unitholders of record who are present at the meeting in person or by proxy, withheld votes, abstentions, and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

PROPOSAL ONE

ELECTION OF CLASS I DIRECTORS

In accordance with the terms of our Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, our Board of Directors consists of seven members; three of the members were appointed by our general partner at our first annual meeting following our initial public offering and four members were elected into three different classes. The appointed directors serve as directors for terms determined by our general partner or until his or her successor is duly appointed. The classified directors are elected by holders of our common units. The four classified directors are elected by holders of our common units for a term corresponding to their respective classes, currently consisting of two Class I directors having a term expiring at this annual meeting of Limited Partners, one Class II director having a term expiring at the 2025 annual meeting of Limited Partners, and one Class III director having a term expiring at the 2026 annual meeting.

The Board of Directors has nominated Kunihide Akizawa and Alexander Kalafatides, who presently serve as the Class I directors, to stand for election as Class I directors at this year’s annual meeting, for a three-year term expiring at our 2027 annual meeting.

Unless the proxy is marked to indicate that such authorization is expressly withheld, the persons named in the enclosed proxy intend to vote the common units authorized thereby FOR the election of the following nominees. It is expected that such nominees will be able to serve, but if before the election it develops that either or both of the nominees is unavailable, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote for the election of such substitute nominee(s) as the current Board of Directors may recommend.

Nominee for Election to the Company’s Board of Directors

Information concerning the nominees for election to our Board of Directors is set forth below:


Name	Age	Position
Kunihide Akizawa	64	Class I Director
Alexander Kalafatides	60	Class I Director

Kunihide Akizawa has been a member of our Board of Directors since 2018. Mr. Akizawa has 42 years of experience in shipping and logistics. He started his shipping career in 1982 in Japan with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd., where he worked in the accounting department, the export department focusing on the Red Sea and Mediterranean areas, the bulk department, and a chartering manager of Skaarup Shipping International Corporation, which was a joint-venture company with Mitsui O.S.K.

In 2011, he became President of MarineNet, a subsidiary of ITOCHU Corporation as well as five other major Japanese trading houses. In 2016, he was appointed as President of IMECS Co., Ltd, the ship-owning arm of ITOCHU and full subsidiary.

As of April 1, 2023, Mr. Akizawa joined Synergy Marine Japan, as Group Representative in Japan. Mr. Akizawa is a graduate of Gakushuin University, Tokyo with a B.A. degree in Economics.

He has been involved in considerable turnarounds in various sectors including the marine sector, where he served as Partner and Vice President of CCSI, Inc., a company acting as the sales agent of the Chevron/Texaco joint venture.

Required vote. The directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by holders of our common units (excluding common units owned by our general partner or its affiliates), meaning that nominees for director receiving the highest number of common units voted “for” their election will be elected.

Effect of withheld votes and broker non-votes. Withheld votes will not affect the vote on Proposal One. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote customers’ unvoted units held by the firms in street name for the election of directors. As a result, any units not voted by a beneficial owner will be treated as a broker non-vote. Such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED CLASS I DIRECTORS. UNLESS REVOKED AS PROVIDED ABOVE, PROXIES RECEIVED BY MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED DIRECTORS UNLESS A CONTRARY VOTE IS SPECIFIED.

PROPOSAL TWO

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors is submitting for approval the appointment of Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors-Accountants S.A. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The Board of Directors proposes that holders of common units ratify this appointment. Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors-Accountants S.A. audited our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors-Accountants S.A. has advised us that it does not have any direct or indirect financial interest in us, nor has it had any such interest in connection with us since our inception other than in its capacity as our independent auditors.

All services rendered by Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors-Accountants S.A. are subject to review by our Audit Committee.

We are not required to obtain the approval of our Limited Partners to select our independent registered public accounting firm. In the event the holders of common units do not ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors-Accountants S.A. as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee will reconsider its appointment for future audits.

Required vote. Approval of Proposal Two will require the affirmative vote of a majority of votes present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

Effect of abstentions and broker non-votes. Abstentions will be treated as votes against Proposal Two. Brokerage firms have authority to vote customers’ unvoted units held by the firms in street name on Proposal Two. If a broker does not exercise this authority, such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG (HELLAS) CERTIFIED AUDITORS-ACCOUNTANTS S.A. AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM, AND PROXIES RECEIVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF SUCH RATIFICATION UNLESS A LIMITED PARTNER INDICATES OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.

SOLICITATION

The cost of preparing and soliciting proxies will be borne by us. Solicitation on behalf of the Board of Directors will be made primarily by mail, but Limited Partners may be solicited by telephone, e-mail, other electronic means, or personal contact. Copies of materials for the annual meeting of Limited Partners will be supplied to brokers, dealers, banks and voting trustees, or their nominees, for the purpose of soliciting proxies from beneficial owners.

OTHER MATTERS
