PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why the Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Enviva Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense because, as previously disclosed, on March 12, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Company intends to seek the required approval of the Bankruptcy Court to retain the services of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Given such Bankruptcy Court approval requirement, as well as the considerable time and resources of the Company’s management devoted to the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company is unable to prepare and timely file its Form 10-Q on or before the May 10, 2024 due date without unreasonable effort or expense.

	As described above in Part III – Narrative to this Form 12b-25, the Company was unable to file its Form 10-Q within the prescribed time period. The Company’s results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 differed significantly from its results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 due to significant adverse developments that occurred with respect to the Company’s business and liquidity, including the Chapter 11 Cases filed in the first quarter of 2024.   The Company began filing monthly operating reports with the Bankruptcy Court related to periods subsequent to March 12, 2024. Bankruptcy Court filings and other documents related to the Chapter 11 Cases are available at a website maintained by the Company’s claims agent, Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC, at http://kccllc.com/enviva.
