Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Since November 9, 2023, Enviva Inc.’s (the “Company”) leadership and advisors have been actively engaged in negotiations with potential strategic partners, customers, and other stakeholders in connection with the Company’s previously announced comprehensive review of alternatives to strengthen its capital structure, augment liquidity, address contractual liabilities, and increase long-term profitability.

As these discussions advance, the Company determined to enhance its short-term financial flexibility. As such, the Company elected to take advantage of its contractual 30-day grace period and not make the semiannual interest payment of approximately $24.4 million (the “Interest Payment”) due on January 16, 2024, with respect to the Company’s outstanding 6.5% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”), notwithstanding that the Company has sufficient cash on hand to make the Interest Payment. The decision to utilize the grace period does not trigger an event of default under the indenture governing the Senior Notes nor does it result in a cross-default under any of the Company’s other debt facilities, and the Company retains the right to make the Interest Payment through the end of the grace period. The Company has continued to make interest payments when due on other debt facilities.
