Item 73.01 ~~Regulation~~Notice FDof ~~Disclosure~~Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On October 4, 2024, the Company received a notice (the “NYSE Notice”) from NYSE Regulation that it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Common Stock from the NYSE and that trading in the Common Stock was suspended immediately. NYSE Regulation reached its decision that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 802.01D after the Company’s October 4, 2024 Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing that the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed the Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the “Amended Plan”) and a related Disclosure Statement for the Amended Plan with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia relating to the Company’s and its debtor affiliates’ March 12, 2024 voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code.

Also, as previously disclosed, on August 30, 2024, the Debtors filed a proposed Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Enviva Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliates and a related proposed form of Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court.

On October 4, 2024, the Debtors filed the Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Enviva Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliates (the “Amended Plan”) and a related Disclosure Statement for the Amended Plan (the “Amended Disclosure Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Amended Plan and the Amended Disclosure Statement describe, among other things: the terms of the Debtors’ proposed restructuring transactions set forth in the Amended Plan (the “Restructuring”); the events leading to the Chapter 11 Cases; certain events that have occurred or are anticipated to occur during the Chapter 11 Cases, including the anticipated solicitation of votes to approve the Amended Plan from certain of the Debtors’ creditors; and certain other aspects of the Restructuring. The foregoing description of the Amended Plan and the Amended Disclosure Statement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Plan and the Amended Disclosure Statement, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Although the Debtors intend to pursue the Restructuring in accordance with the terms set forth in the Amended Plan, there can be no assurance that the Amended Plan will be approved by the Bankruptcy Court or that the Debtors will be successful in consummating the Restructuring or any other similar transaction on the terms set forth in the Amended Plan, on different terms or at all. Bankruptcy law does not permit solicitation of acceptances of a proposed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization until the Bankruptcy Court approves a disclosure statement relating to such proposed plan. Accordingly, neither the Debtors’ filing of the Amended Plan, the Amended Disclosure Statement, nor this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”), is a solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Amended Plan. Any such solicitation will be made pursuant to and in accordance with applicable law, including orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Amended Plan and the Amended Disclosure Statement have been submitted to the Bankruptcy Court for approval but have not been approved by the Bankruptcy Court to date.

Pursuant to the Amended Plan, existing equity interests of the Company will be canceled and holders thereof will receive no recovery. Based on the terms of the Amended Plan, the Company will emerge from the Chapter 11 Cases as a private company not subject to reporting requirements under Sections 12 or 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a nonpublic company, the equity interests in the Company issued pursuant to the Amended Plan would not be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange and there can be no assurance as to the development of or liquidity of any market for such securities.

Information contained in the Amended Plan and the Amended Disclosure Statement is subject to change, whether as a result of amendments or supplements to the Amended Plan or Amended Disclosure Statement, third-party actions, or otherwise, and should not be relied upon by any party. Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, including all filings with the Bankruptcy Court related to the Chapter 11 Cases, are available on the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases which can be accessed via PACER for a fee at https://www.pacer.gov. These court filings and additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases are also available for free on the website maintained for the Company by its claims and notice agent, Verita Global (formerly Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC), located at https://www.veritaglobal.net/enviva or by calling (877) 499-4509 (U.S. / Canada) or (917) 281-4800 (international). The information on this website is not incorporated by reference into, and does not constitute part of, this Current Report. Amendments and supplements to court filings may be filed with the Bankruptcy Court without the filing of an accompanying Current Report.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. The filing of this Current Report shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
