Regulation FD Disclosure - Form 8-K

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On April 11, 2024, without warning or notice, the General Directorate of Ports of Mexico seized the assets of Cabo Marina, S. de R.L. de C.V ("Cabo Marina"), a subsidiary of IGY Marinas, a wholly owned subsidiary of MarineMax, Inc. (the "Company") and initiated a sanctioning procedure. On the same day, the Administration of the National Port System for Los Cabos ("ASIPONA") rejected Cabo Marina's application (filed on March 21, 2024) for a new concession for the Port of Cabo San Lucas. The General Directorate of Ports and ASIPONA subsequently forced Cabo Marina to cease operations and the ASIPONA took control of the Port of Cabo San Lucas.

Cabo Marina has operated the marina in Cabo San Lucas for more than 20 years and was actively processing a new concession agreement in good faith when ASIPONA and the Mexican Navy took possession of the port. The Company believes that the takeover of Cabo Marina's facilities is illegal and that the alleged violations underlying the sanction proceedings against Cabo Marina are illegitimate. The Company has engaged Mexican and U.S. Government officials to resolve the dispute and may resort to legal action to enforce its rights if diplomatic efforts fail.

The Cabo Marina was associated with less than 4% of total assets and less than 1% of total revenues in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended September 30, 2023.
