Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc.
Notes Filing of a Securities Lawsuit

PIRAEUS, Greece, Feb. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/

Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc. (NYSE: ANW) today announced that it has been named as a defendant in a putative securities class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the Company's common stock during the period between January 4, 2010 and February 3, 2011. The Company's Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Financial Officer were also named as individual defendants.

The complaint asserts claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and alleges, among other things, that the Company misrepresented and failed to disclose material adverse facts related to its financial condition, business and prospects during the class period.

The Company firmly believes that the lawsuit is without merit, that it unfairly impugns the integrity both of the Company and individual defendants, and the Company intends to defend the action as vigorously as possible.
