1. RiverNorth Opportunities Fund conducted a successful rights offering. 2. The offering generated approximately $70.6 million in proceeds. 3. Final subscription price was set at $11.95, based on NAV. 4. No excess payments are due to subscribing rights holders. 5. New shares will affect October 2025 distribution payouts.
The successful rights offering suggests strong investor interest, which could boost RIV's market confidence. Historical examples show that funds with successful capital raises often see stock price increases, indicating positive market response.
The rights offering and associated capital raise are significant for RIV, promising growth potential and enhanced financial stability. This makes it a relevant event for current and potential investors.
The immediate effects will likely be observed in upcoming weeks, particularly around the October distribution. However, sustained impact depends on effective utilization of raised capital.
RiverNorth Opportunities Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") (NYSE:RIV) today announced the preliminary results of its transferable rights offering (the "Offering") that expired on October 6, 2025 (the "Expiration Date"). In the Offering, the Fund received subscription requests for 5,906,588 shares of common stock from rights holders. Accordingly, the Fund expects to issue 5,906,588 new shares of common stock for these subscriptions, pending the receipt of payment for "delivery guaranteed" subscriptions, on or about October 10, 2025. Gross proceeds from the Offering are expected to total approximately $70.6 million, before expenses.
The foregoing numbers are estimates only. The Fund will announce the final results of the Rights Offering in a press release on or about October 8, 2025.
The Offering's final subscription price per share was determined to be $11.95. The subscription price was established pursuant to the terms of the Offering and based on a formula equal to 92.5% of the Fund's reported net asset value ("NAV") per share on the Expiration Date. The NAV per share used in the formula described above was $12.92.
As the final subscription price was higher than the original estimated price of $11.71 per share, there are no excess payments to be returned to subscribing rights holders.
Shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Offering will be record date shares for the purposes of the Fund's October 2025 distribution payable.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or constitute a solicitation of an offer to buy.
