Separation of Units

On August 15, 2011, Nautilus Marine Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) announced that Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), the representative of the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering, has informed the Company that it will not be exercising its over-allotment option and that commencing on August 29, 2011, the units issued in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Units”) will automatically separate into the common stock and warrants underlying the units. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock. Upon commencement of trading on that date, the common stock and warrants will trade separately on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “NMAR” and “NMARW”, respectively. The Units, which are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NMARU”, will no longer be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market following the separation.

As a result of Maxim electing to not exercise the over-allotment option in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the Company’s initial shareholders forfeited an aggregate of 180,000 shares of common stock of the Company and as a result, there are 6,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding as of the date of this report.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the separate trading of the securities underlying the Units is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
