Item 8.01.
Other Events.
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 reported on January 16, 2024, 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
").
During the 30-day grace period, the Company's
leadership and advisors have
advanced discussions and negotiations with certain stakeholders in the Company's capital structure. As of February 15, 2024, the Company entered into Forbearance Agreements (the "
Forbearance Agreements
") with  certain of the Company's lenders, bondholders, and noteholders holding the requisite amount of the aggregate principal amount outstanding or committed under the applicable facilities (such parties, the "
Forbearing Counterparties
" and such facilities, the "
Forbearing Facilities
").
Pursuant to each Forbearance Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Forbearing Counterparties agreed to forbear from exercising any of their rights and remedies, including with respect to an acceleration, under the applicable agreements governing the Forbearing Facilities during the Forbearance Period (as defined below), as a result of the Company's failure to make the Interest Payment on the Senior Notes payable on January 16, 2024 and certain other specified events. The Forbearance Agreements will terminate on March 4, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. New York time unless extended or terminated earlier in the event of non-compliance with certain representations, covenants and other requirements set forth in the Forbearance Agreements (the "
Forbearance Period
").
The Company intends to continue to negotiate with the Forbearing Counterparties and the Company's customers and other stakeholders during the Forbearance Period. The Company cannot provide any assurance that the Company will reach any agreement with the Forbearing Counterparties or other stakeholders during the Forbearance Period or that the Forbearing Counterparties will agree to extend the Forbearance Period.
