BETHESDA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enviva Partners, LP (NYSE: EVA) (“Enviva,” the “Partnership,” “we,”
“us,” or “our”) has completed the previously announced purchase (the
“Hamlet Transaction”) of its sponsor’s interest in its first development
joint venture, Enviva Wilmington Holdings, LLC (the “First JV”). The
First JV owns a wood pellet production plant under construction in
Hamlet, North Carolina (the “Hamlet plant”) and a firm, 15-year
take-or-pay off-take contract, adding incremental sales volume of
approximately 500,000 metric tons per year to the Partnership. In
addition, the Partnership announced that it has made the second and
final payment (the “Second Payment”) for its October 2017 acquisition of
the deep-water marine terminal in Wilmington, North Carolina and
commenced the associated terminal services agreement to handle
contracted volumes from the Hamlet plant.

As partial consideration for the Hamlet Transaction and the Second
Payment, as well as partial financing for the Partnership’s previously
announced production capacity expansions at its wood pellet production
plants in Northampton, North Carolina and Southampton, Virginia (the
“Mid-Atlantic Expansions”), the Partnership issued a total of 6,881,642
common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership,
or approximately $200 million. The Partnership expects to finance the
remainder of the capital anticipated to be required for the Hamlet
Transaction, the remainder of the capital expenditures expected to be
required to complete the construction of the Hamlet plant, the Second
Payment, and the Mid-Atlantic Expansions with borrowings under its
existing $350 million senior secured revolving credit facility.

Additional details on the transactions and related financing activities
can be found in the Partnership’s press release issued on March 25, 2019.
