This Form 6-K, dated September 1, 2017, contains the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement for Navios Maritime Partners L.P. The filing announces the 2017 Annual Meeting of Limited Partners scheduled for October 27, 2017, in Monaco. The record date for determining voting eligibility was August 31, 2017. The company operates as a maritime partnership with common units listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NMM."

Key Financial Metrics

The filing text does not provide specific financial performance data such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity for the current or prior periods. It references the 2016 Annual Report on Form 20-F for detailed financial statements.

Capital structure details provided in the filing include:

• Common Units Outstanding (as of Aug 31, 2017): 147,436,276
• General Partner Units Outstanding (as of Aug 31, 2017): 3,008,908

Material Changes and Governance Proposals

The filing outlines four primary proposals for shareholder approval, reflecting material changes to governance and oversight:

1. Election of Class II Director: Election of Orthodoxia Zisimatou to serve until the 2019 Annual Meeting. This fills a seat whose term expired at the 2016 meeting, which was adjourned due to a lack of quorum.
2. Election of Class III Director: Election of Serafeim Kriempardis to serve until the 2020 Annual Meeting.
3. Ratification of Auditors: Ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A. as independent public accountants for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016, and 2017.
4. Amendment to Partnership Agreement (Quorum Change): A proposal to lower the quorum requirement for meetings of Limited Partners from a majority (50% + 1) of outstanding units to 33% of outstanding units. Management cites historical difficulties in achieving a majority quorum, which previously prevented the conduct of business at annual meetings.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

The filing does not contain forward-looking financial guidance, revenue outlook, or management commentary on market conditions. The primary risk highlighted is the operational risk of failing to achieve a quorum for annual meetings, which has historically occurred and led to adjournments. The proposed amendment to the Partnership Agreement is intended to mitigate this risk by lowering the threshold for a valid meeting.
