INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

 

RiverNorth Opportunities Fund, Inc.’s (the “Fund”) investment objective is total return consisting of capital appreciation and current income.

 

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by pursuing a tactical asset allocation strategy and opportunistically investing under normal circumstances in closed-end funds ("CEFs"), exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), business development companies ("BDCs" and collectively, "Underlying Funds") and special purpose acquisition companies ("SPACs").

 

RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC (the "Adviser") has the flexibility to change the Fund’s asset allocation based on its ongoing analysis of the equity, fixed income and alternative asset markets. The Adviser considers various quantitative and qualitative factors relating to the domestic and foreign securities markets and economies when making asset allocation and security selection decisions. While the Adviser continuously evaluates these factors, material shifts in the Fund’s asset class exposures will typically take place over longer periods of time.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, may be worth more or less than their original cost. You can obtain performance data current to the most recent month end by calling (844) 569-4750 or by visiting www.rivernorth.com. Total return measures net investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments. All performance shown assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

DISTRIBUTION TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

 

The Fund intends to make regular monthly distributions to stockholders at a constant and fixed (but not guaranteed) rate that is reset annually to a rate equal to a percentage of the average of the Fund’s NAV per share as reported for the final five trading days of the preceding calendar year. The Board of Directors approves the distribution and may adjust it from time to time. The monthly distribution amount paid from August 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 was $0.1277 per share and the Fund paid a distribution of $0.1306 on January 30, 2026. At times, to maintain a stable level of distributions, the Fund may pay out less than all of its net investment income or pay out accumulated undistributed income, or return of capital, in addition to current net investment income. In addition to the contributing factors referenced above, the Adviser believes that the Fund’s level distribution policy did not have a material impact on the Fund’s ability to execute on its investment strategy during the six months ended December 31, 2025.

 

Total annual expense ratio as a percentage of net assets attributable to common shares as of December 31, 2025, is 1.77% (excluding dividend expense and line of credit expense). Including dividend expense and line of credit expense, the expense ratio is 1.84%.

 

The Fund is a CEF and does not continuously issue shares for sale as open-end mutual funds do. The Fund now trades only in the secondary market. Investors wishing to buy or sell shares need to place orders through an intermediary or broker and additional charges or commissions will apply. The share price of a CEF is based on the market’s value.

 

Distributions may be paid from sources of income other than ordinary income, such as net realized short-term capital gains, net realized long-term capital gains and return of capital. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. If a distribution includes anything other than net investment income, the Fund provides a Section 19(a) notice of the best estimate of its distribution sources at that time. These estimates may not match the final tax characterization (for the full year’s distributions) contained in shareholders’ 1099-DIV forms after the end of the year.

 

S&P 500® Total Return Index – A market value weighted index of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry grouping, among other factors. This index is designed to be a leading indicator of U.S. equities and is meant to reflect the risk/return characteristics of the large cap universe. This index reflects the effects of dividend reinvestment.

 

Indices are unmanaged; their returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges.

 

An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

 

RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC is the investment adviser to the Fund.

 

Secondary market support provided to the Fund by ALPS Advisors, Inc.’s affiliate, ALPS Portfolio Solutions Distributor, Inc., a FINRA member.

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

 

RiverNorth Opportunities Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on September 9, 2010. The Fund commenced operations on December 24, 2015, and had no operations until that date other than those related to organizational matters and the registration of its shares under applicable securities laws.

 

On May 15, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board” and the members thereof, “Directors”) approved a change in the Fund’s fiscal year from July 31 to June 30.

 

The Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement permit the Board of Directors to authorize and issue 37,500,000 shares of common stock with $0.0001 par value per share, 3,910,000 of which have been reclassified as Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”). The Fund is considered an investment company and therefore follows the Investment Company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

 

The Fund may be converted to an open-end investment company at any time if approved by two-thirds of the Board and at least two-thirds of the Fund’s total outstanding shares. If the Fund converted to an open-end investment company, it would be required to redeem all preferred stock of the Fund then outstanding, if any (requiring in turn that it liquidate a portion of its investment portfolio). Conversion to open-end status could also require the Fund to modify certain investment restrictions and policies. The Board may at any time (but is not required to) propose conversion of the Fund to open-end status, depending upon its judgment regarding the advisability of such action in light of circumstances then prevailing.

 

The Fund’s investment adviser is RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”). The Fund’s investment objective is total return consisting of capital appreciation and current income.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures, including the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in the financial statements during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value the Fund ultimately realizes upon sale of the securities. The financial statements have been prepared as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on December 31, 2025.

 

The Fund invests in closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds and business development companies (collectively, “Underlying Funds”), each of which has its own investment risks. Those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Underlying Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Underlying Fund.

 

 

Semi-Annual Report | December 31, 2025 33

 

 

RiverNorth Opportunities Fund, Inc.

 

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 (Unaudited)

 

Security Valuation: The Fund’s investments are generally valued at their fair value using market quotations. If a market quotation is unavailable, a security may be valued at its estimated fair value as described in Note 3.

 

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums calculated using yield to maturity, is accrued and recorded as earned. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities are determined using the specific identification method for both financial reporting and tax purposes.

 

Federal Income Taxes: The Fund makes no provision for federal income tax. The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”). In order to qualify as a RIC, the Fund must, among other things, satisfy income, asset diversification and distribution requirements. As long as it so qualifies, the Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that it distributes annually its investment company taxable income and its “net capital gain”. If the Fund retains any investment company taxable income or net capital gain, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the retained amount at regular corporate tax rates. In addition, if the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC for any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on all of its income and gains at regular corporate tax rates.

 

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. As of and during the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return for federal purposes and four years for most state returns. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.

 

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders, which are paid monthly and determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of recognition of certain components of income, expense, or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassification will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund.

 

The Fund maintains a level distribution policy. The Fund distributes to common shareholders regular monthly cash distributions of its net investment income. In addition, the Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Any amounts received in excess of a common shareholder’s basis are generally treated as capital gain, assuming the shares are held as capital assets. The Board approved the implementation of the level distribution policy to make monthly cash distributions to common shareholders. The Fund made monthly distributions to common shareholders set at a level monthly rate of $0.1277 per common share for the period from July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 (Unaudited)

 

Return Of Capital Distributions: At times, to maintain a stable level of distributions, the Fund may pay out less than all of its net investment income or pay out accumulated undistributed income, or return of capital, in addition to current net investment income. Any distribution that is treated as a return of capital generally will reduce a common shareholder’s basis in his or her shares, which may increase the capital gain or reduce the capital loss realized upon the sale of such shares.

 

Preferred Stock: In accordance with ASC 480-10-25, the Fund’s Series A Preferred Stock has been classified as equity on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Refer to “Note 7. Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock” for further details.

 

Other: Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gains are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively.

 

3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

 

Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.

 

Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including using such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

 

Semi-Annual Report | December 31, 2025 35

 

 

RiverNorth Opportunities Fund, Inc.

 

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 (Unaudited)

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;
     
  Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
     
  Level 3 – Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the Fund’s valuation designee to make all fair valuation determinations with respect to the Fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight.

 

Equity securities, including closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds and business development companies, are generally valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using the market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. Sometimes, an equity security owned by the Fund will be valued by the pricing service with factors other than market quotations or when the market is considered inactive. When this happens, the security will be classified as a Level 2 security. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Adviser determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current fair value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Adviser, as valuation designee, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board. These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities.

 

Investments in mutual funds, including short-term investments, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be classified as Level 1 securities.

 

Domestic and foreign fixed income securities, including foreign and U.S. corporate bonds, foreign and U.S. government bonds, and business development company notes are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services. Foreign currency positions, including forward foreign currency contracts, are priced at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Prices obtained from independent pricing services typically use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Data used to establish quotes includes analysis of cash flows, pre-payment speeds, default rates, delinquency assumptions and assumptions regarding collateral and loss assumptions. These securities will be classified as Level 2 securities.

In accordance with the Fund’s good faith pricing guidelines, the Adviser is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single standard exists for determining fair value, because fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Adviser would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accordance with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) discounted cash flow models; (iii) weighted average cost or weighted average price; (iv) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (v) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Good faith pricing is permitted if, in the Adviser’s opinion, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before the Fund’s NAV calculation that may affect a security’s value, or the Adviser is aware of any other data that calls into question the reliability of market quotations.

 

Good faith pricing may also be used in instances when the bonds in which the Fund invests default or otherwise cease to have market quotations readily available.

Short Sale Risks: The Fund and the Underlying Funds may engage in short sales. A short sale is a transaction in which a fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. To establish a short position, a fund must first borrow the security from a broker or other institution. The fund may not always be able to borrow a security at a particular time or at an acceptable price. Accordingly, there is a risk that a fund may be unable to implement its investment strategy due to the lack of available securities or for other reasons. After selling a borrowed security, a fund is obligated to “cover” the short sale by purchasing and returning the security to the lender at a later date. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to pay the lender amounts equal to the dividend or interest that accrue during the period which is recorded as an expense on the Statements of Operations. A Fund may also incur stock loan fees which represent the cost of borrowing securities used for short sale transactions. A Fund may also earn rebates as an element of the broker arrangement, which are recorded as an offset to stock loan fees on short sales transactions. The stock loan fees on short sales are recognized on the Statements of Operations. In the event that rebates exceed the stock loan fees on short sales, the net rebates are recognized as a component of other income on the Statements of Operations. The Fund and the Underlying Funds cannot guarantee that the security will be available at an acceptable price. Positions in shorted securities are speculative and more risky than long positions (purchases) in securities because the maximum sustainable loss on a security purchased is limited to the amount paid for the security plus the transaction costs, whereas there is no maximum attainable price of the shorted security. Therefore, in theory, securities sold short have unlimited risk. Short selling will also result in higher transaction costs (such as interest and dividends), and may result in higher taxes, which reduce a fund’s return.

Special Purpose Acquisition Company Risk: The Fund may invest in special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). SPACs are collective investment structures that pool funds in order to seek potential acquisition opportunities. SPACs are generally publicly traded companies that raise funds through an initial public offering (“IPO”) for the purpose of acquiring or merging with another company to be identified subsequent to the SPAC’s IPO. The securities of a SPAC are often issued in “units” that include one share of common stock and one right or warrant (or partial right or warrant) conveying the right to purchase additional shares or partial shares. Unless and until an acquisition is completed, a SPAC generally invests its assets (less an amount to cover expenses) in U.S. Government securities, money market fund securities and cash. SPACs and similar entities may be blank check companies with no operating history or ongoing business other than to seek a potential acquisition. Accordingly, the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. Certain SPACs may seek acquisitions only in limited industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their prices. If an acquisition or merger that meets the requirements for the SPAC is not completed within a predetermined period of time, the invested funds are returned to the entity’s shareholders, less certain permitted expenses. Accordingly, any rights or warrants issued by the SPAC will expire worthless. Certain private investments in SPACs may be illiquid and/or be subject to restrictions on resale. Additionally, the Fund may acquire certain private rights and other interests issued by a SPAC (commonly referred to as “founder shares”), which may be subject to forfeiture or expire worthless and which typically have more limited liquidity than SPAC shares issued in an IPO. To the extent the SPAC is invested in cash or similar securities, this may impact the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective.

 

Private Debt Risk: The Fund may invest in notes issued by private funds (“private debt”). Private debt often may be illiquid and is typically not listed on an exchange and traded less actively than similar securities issued by public funds. For certain private debt, trading may only be possible through the assistance of the broker who originally brought the security to the market and has a relationship with the issuer. Due to the limited trading market, independent pricing services may be unable to provide a price for private debt, and as such the fair value of the securities may be determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board, which typically will include the use of one or more independent broker quotes.

Rights and Warrants Risks: Warrants are securities giving the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the stock of an issuer at a given price (generally higher than the value of the stock at the time of issuance) during a specified period or perpetually. Warrants do not carry with them the right to dividends or voting rights with respect to the securities that they entitle their holder to purchase and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. As a result, warrants may be considered to have more speculative characteristics than certain other types of investments. In addition, the value of a warrant does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities and a warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date.

 

Rights are usually granted to existing shareholders of a corporation to subscribe to shares of a new issue of common stock before it is issued to the public. The right entitles its holder to buy common stock at a specified price. Rights have similar features to warrants, except that the life of a right is typically much shorter, usually a few weeks.

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Fund invested in rights and warrants, which are disclosed in the Statement of Investments.

4. ADVISORY FEES, DIRECTOR FEES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

 

 

RiverNorth serves as the adviser pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Fund (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays RiverNorth an annual management fee of 1.30% of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets (as defined below) for the services it provides. This management fee paid by the Fund to the Adviser is essentially an all-in fee structure (the “unified management fee”) and, as part of the unified management fee, the Adviser provides or causes to be furnished all supervisory and administrative and other services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund, except the Fund pays, in addition to the unified management fee, taxes and governmental fees (if any) levied against the Fund; brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses incurred by or for the Fund; costs of borrowing money including interest expenses or engaging in other types of leverage financing; dividend and/or interest expenses and other costs associated with the Fund’s issuance, offering, redemption and maintenance of preferred shares or other instruments for the purpose of incurring leverage; fees and expenses of any underlying funds in which the Fund invests; dividend and interest expenses on short positions taken by the Fund; fees and expenses, including travel expenses and fees and expenses of legal counsel retained for the benefit of the Fund or directors of the Fund who are not officers, employees, partners, stockholders or members of the Adviser or its affiliates; fees and expenses associated with and incident to stockholder meetings and proxy solicitations involving contested elections of directors, stockholder proposals or other non-routine matters that are not initiated or proposed by the Adviser; legal, marketing, printing, accounting and other expenses associated with any future share offerings, such as rights offerings and shelf offerings, following the Fund’s initial offering; expenses associated with tender offers and other share repurchases and redemptions; and other extraordinary expenses, including extraordinary legal expenses, as may arise, including without limit, expenses incurred in connection with litigation, proceedings, other claims and the legal obligations of the Fund to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, stockholders, distributors and agents with respect thereto. The unified management fee is designed to pay substantially all of the Fund’s expenses and to compensate the Adviser for providing services for the Fund. For the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Adviser accrued fees of $2,641,705, of which $491,320 remained payable at December 31, 2025.

5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND RULE ISSUANCES

 

 

The Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). Adoption of the new standard impacted disclosures only and did not affect the Fund’s financial position nor the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by a public entity’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Fund’s Principal Financial Officer, acting together as the Fund’s CODM, has determined that the Fund has operated as a single segment since inception. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund, as a whole, and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of the related Prospectus, based on the defined investment objectives and strategies that are executed by the Fund’s portfolio management team. The financial information, in the form of the Fund’s holdings, total returns, expense ratios, and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions) are used by the CODM to assess the Fund’s performance versus the Fund’s benchmark and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund’s segment, which is consistent with that presented within the Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Total Assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the Statement of Operations.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Fund Management is evaluating the impacts of these changes on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

6. CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

 

On November 25, 2020, the Fund entered into a $65,000,000 credit agreement for margin financing with Pershing LLC, which was amended and restated as of March 20, 2022 (the “Pershing Credit Agreement”). Per the Pershing Credit Agreement, the Fund may borrow at an interest rate of 0.85% plus the Overnight Bank Funding Rate. The Pershing Credit Agreement does not have an expiration date. The Fund did not borrow under the Pershing Credit Agreement for the six months ended December 31, 2025 and had no borrowings outstanding under the Pershing Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2025.

On March 9, 2023, the Fund entered into an additional credit agreement with BNP Paribas (“BNP Credit Agreement”). The BNP Credit Agreement permits the Fund to borrow funds that are collateralized by assets held at BNP Paribas pursuant to the agreement. Under the terms of the BNP Credit Agreement, the Fund may borrow up to $25,000,000 bearing an interest rate of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus a fixed rate determined by the securities pledged as collateral. Any unused portion of the BNP Credit Agreement is subject to a commitment fee of 0.50% of the unused portion of the facility until a utilization of 80% or greater is met.

 

During the Fund’s utilization period during the six months ended December 31, 2025, the Fund’s average borrowings and interest rate under the BNP Credit Agreement were $10,000,000 an 4.70%, respectively. The maximum amount borrowed for the period was $10,000,000 and the Fund had borrowings outstanding for eight days during the period. At December 31, 2025, there was $10,000,000 outstanding under the BNP Credit Agreement.

The Series A Preferred Stock is generally not redeemable at the Fund’s option prior to May 15, 2027, and is subject to mandatory redemption by the Fund in certain circumstances. On or after May 15, 2027, the Fund may redeem in whole, or from time to time in part, outstanding Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share equal to the per share liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, through the date of redemption.

Under the rules of the NYSE applicable to listed companies, the Fund is required to hold an annual meeting of stockholders in each year.

 

Under the Fund’s Charter, the Board is authorized to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of stock into other classes or series of stock and authorize the issuance of shares of stock without obtaining stockholder approval. Also, the Fund’s Board, with the approval of a majority of the entire Board, but without any action by the stockholders of the Fund, may amend the Fund’s Charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock of the Fund or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the Fund has authority to issue.

For every three rights held, a holder of the rights was entitled to buy one new common share of the Fund. Record date shareholders who fully exercised all rights initially issued to them in the primary subscription were entitled to buy those common shares that were not purchased by other record date shareholders. The Fund issued new shares of common stock at 92.5% of the NAV per share on October 6, 2025, at 95% of NAV per share for the October 2, 2020 rights offering, and at 97.5% of NAV per share for the October 1, 2021 rights offering.

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

 

The amounts and characteristics of tax basis distributions and composition of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) are finalized at fiscal year-end and are not available for the six months ended December 31, 2024.

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis are primarily due to wash sales, investments in passive foreign investment companies, and the tax treatment of certain other investments.

 

11. INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

 

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that may contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under those arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

 

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Fund paid the following distributions:

 

Ex-Date Record Date Payable Date Rate (per share)

RiverNorth Opportunities Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) has a dividend reinvestment plan (the “Plan”) commonly referred to as an “opt-out” plan. Unless the registered owner of the Fund’s shares of common stock (the “Common Shares”) elects to receive cash by contacting DST Systems, Inc. (the “Plan Administrator”), all dividends and distributions declared on Common Shares will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator for shareholders in the Plan, in additional Common Shares. Common Shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all dividends and other distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to the shareholder of record (or, if the Common Shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by the Plan Administrator as dividend disbursing agent. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Such notice will be effective with respect to a particular dividend or other distribution (together, a “Dividend”). Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on behalf of Common Shareholders and may re-invest that cash in additional Common Shares.

 

Whenever the Fund declares a Dividend payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in Common Shares. The Common Shares will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized Common Shares from the Fund (“Newly Issued Common Shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding Common Shares on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the closing market price plus estimated brokerage commissions per Common Share is equal to or greater than the net asset value per Common Share, the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares on behalf of the participants. The number of Newly Issued Common Shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Dividend by the Fund’s net asset value per Common Share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the net asset value per Common Share is greater than the closing market value plus estimated brokerage commissions (i.e., the Fund’s Common Shares are trading at a discount), the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired on behalf of the participants in Open-Market Purchases.

 

In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any Dividend, the Plan Administrator will have until the last business day before the next date on which the Common Shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such Dividend, whichever is sooner (the “Last Purchase Date”), to invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired in Open-Market Purchases. It is contemplated that the Fund will pay monthly income Dividends. If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its Open-Market Purchases, the market price per Common Share exceeds the net asset value per Common Share, the average per Common Share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator may exceed the net asset value of the Common Shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer Common Shares than if the Dividend had been paid in Newly Issued Common Shares on the Dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to Open-Market Purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full Dividend amount in Open-Market Purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making Open-Market Purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares at the net asset value per Common Share at the close of business on the Last Purchase Date.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan December 31, 2025 (Unaudited)

 

The Plan Administrator maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common Shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.

 

Beneficial owners of Common Shares who hold their Common Shares in the name of a broker or nominee should contact the broker or nominee to determine whether and how they may participate in the Plan. In the case of Common Shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Administrator will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of Common Shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.

 

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to Common Shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with Open-Market Purchases. The automatic reinvestment of Dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such Dividends. Participants that request a sale of Common Shares through the Plan Administrator are subject to brokerage commissions.

 

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator at (844) 569-4750.

Consideration and Approval of
Advisory Agreement
December 31, 2025 (Unaudited)

 

Consideration of the Advisory Agreement

 

At an in-person meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board” or the “Directors”) of the RiverNorth Opportunities Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) held on November 11-12, 2025 and called expressly for that purpose, the Board, including a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) (the “Independent Directors”), considered the renewal of the investment management agreement between RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Fund (the “Advisory Agreement”). In its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered information and materials furnished by the Adviser in advance of and at the Meeting and was afforded the opportunity to request additional information and to ask questions of the Adviser to obtain information that it believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement. The Board received materials compiled by the Adviser and the Fund’s administrator, including a copy of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser’s response to a questionnaire regarding the Adviser’s profitability, organization, management and operations, a copy of the Adviser’s Form ADV, the Adviser’s audited financial statements, information regarding the Adviser’s assets under management, an overview of the Fund’s cumulative and annualized returns as compared to the Fund’s benchmark, the Fund’s fact sheet for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, a performance comparison of the Fund to other funds managed by the Adviser, information regarding the Adviser’s compliance programs and a third-party comparison report regarding the Fund’s performance and fees compared to benchmark indices and peer funds provided by FUSE Research Network, LLC (“FUSE”). The Board considered the following factors, among others, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Agreement: (i) the investment performance of the Fund and the investment performance of the Adviser, (ii) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund, (iii) the experience and qualifications of the personnel providing such services, (iv) the costs of the services provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and any of its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund, (v) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized by the Fund as it grows, and (vi) whether the Fund’s fee levels reflected the economies of scale to the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders.

 

The Directors relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Directors’ conclusions were based on an evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Director may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement. Although not meant to be all-inclusive, the following discussion summarizes the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Directors in determining to renew the Advisory Agreement at the Meeting, including during executive sessions with their independent legal counsel.

 

Performance, Fees and Expenses

The Board reviewed the performance of the Fund for the three-month, one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2025. These returns were compared to the returns of arbitrage and opportunity funds identified by FUSE (the “Performance Group”). The Board considered the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and market price returns relative to the returns for funds in the Performance Group, noting that on a NAV basis, the Fund had underperformed the median of the Performance Group for the three-month and one-year periods ended September 30, 2025 and performed in line with the median of its Performance Group for the three-year, five-year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2025. Using market price returns, the Board observed that the Fund had underperformed the median of its Performance Group for the three-month, one-year, three-year and five-year periods ended September 30, 2025, and performed in line with the median of its Performance Group for the since inception period ended September 30, 2025. The Directors also noted that on a NAV basis, the Fund had underperformed its benchmark index for the three-month, one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2025. The Directors also reviewed the Fund’s performance relative to other funds managed by the Adviser. It was noted that the Adviser had indicated that the Performance Group is not entirely reflective of the Fund due to its unique investment strategy.

As to the comparative fees and expenses, the Directors considered the management and other fees paid by the Fund and compared those to the management and other fees paid by funds in FUSE’s Arbitrage and Opportunity fund peer group (the “Expense Group”). The Board noted that the Fund’s annual net expense ratio was in line with the Expense Group median. The Directors also reviewed the Fund’s total net and gross expense rankings against its peers calculated on the basis of each fund’s average managed assets to mitigate the distortions caused by differing levels of leverage.

 

The Board noted that the annual management fee for the Fund was above the median paid by the Expense Group. The Directors also reviewed the Fund’s fees relative to other funds managed by the Adviser. The Board, including the Independent Directors, determined that the fees were reasonable given the nature of the Fund’s investment strategy, the capabilities of the Adviser and the nature of the services provided to the Fund.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

As to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund, the Board considered that under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser, subject to the supervision of the Board, provides or arranges to be provided to the Fund such investment advice as the Adviser, in its discretion, deems advisable and furnishes or arranges to be furnished a continuous investment program for the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s Form ADV, which was previously provided to the Board and that provided details regarding the experience of each of the Adviser’s personnel. The Adviser also provided additional information regarding its experience managing other investment accounts. Based on the foregoing information, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the Adviser had provided quality services and would continue to do so for the Fund.

 

Profitability and Other Benefits

As to the cost of the services provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the Adviser’s estimates of its profitability and its financial condition. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s financial statements and noted the Adviser’s financial condition is stable as income from its asset management operations have contributed to higher revenues for the Adviser. The Board acknowledged the Adviser’s management fees were comparable to those charged to other funds to which the Adviser provides advisory or sub-advisory services. The Board, including the Independent Directors, determined that the Advisory Agreement, with respect to the Fund was not overly profitable to the Adviser and the financial condition of the Adviser was adequate.

Advisory Agreement

The Board noted that the Adviser has no affiliations with the Fund’s transfer agent, fund accountant, custodian, or distribution-related service providers utilized by the Fund and therefore does not derive any benefits from the relationships these parties may have with the Fund.

 

Conclusion

Having requested and received such information from the Adviser as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
