The NSM Loan I is repayable in quarterly installments of $5.0 million with the first installment falling due in the third quarter of 2023. The NSM Loan I has a four-year term and bears interest at a rate of (i) 18% per annum until the Company’s 11.25% Senior Secured Notes (the “2022 Senior Secured Notes”) are repaid and 16.5% per annum thereafter when paid in the form of Convertible Debenture (as defined below) for the first 18 months (“PIK Interest”) and (ii) 13.5% per annum when paid in the form of cash. The NSM Loan I will be paid in PIK Interest for the first 18 months, due also in optional prepayment during that period and thereafter in either cash or PIK Interest at the election of the Borrower.

The NSM Loan II is repayable in quarterly installments of $5.0 million with the first installment falling due in the third quarter of 2023. The NSM Loan II has a four year term and bears interest at a rate of (i) 18% per annum until the 2022 Senior Secured Notes are repaid and 16.5% per annum thereafter when paid in PIK Interest and (ii) 13.5% per annum when paid in the form of cash. The NSM Loan II will be paid in PIK Interest for the first 18 months, due also in optional prepayment during that period and thereafter in either cash or PIK Interest at the election of the Borrower.

NSM will receive an upfront fee in respect of the NSM Loan I and the NSM Loan II of $24.0 million in the form of a Convertible Debenture.

The lender has the option to convert any portion of the outstanding balance under the Convertible Debenture into shares of common stock of Navios Holdings under an agreed mechanism.
