RiverNorth Opportunities Fund Launches Transferable Rights Offering at Discount to NAV
RIV is trading near its 52-week low of $10.93 (6.5% above the low).
Summary
The fund is issuing transferable subscription rights to existing shareholders, allowing them to buy new shares at a discount to net asset value or market price. Shareholders of record on August 31, 2026, receive one right per share, with three rights required to purchase one new share. The subscription price will be set at 90% of NAV or 95% of market price, whichever is higher, on the expiration date of September 23, 2026. This is a dilutive capital raise for a closed-end fund, but the discount formula is standard for such offerings and the rights are transferable, giving shareholders flexibility. The offering could pressure the share price if investors sell rights or anticipate dilution, but it also provides an opportunity to acquire shares below market value. The fund had $324.7 million in net assets and 27.4 million shares outstanding as of July 31, 2026.
At the time of this announcement, RIV was trading at $11.64 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $252.8M. The 52-week trading range was $10.93 to $12.56.
