RiverNorth Opportunities Fund Inc. RIV (the "Fund") is pleased to announce the results of its transferable rights offering (the "Offering"), in which 1,790,000 shares of common stock will be issued pursuant to subscriptions by rights holders through the Offering at a subscription price of $16.93 per share.

The Offering, which expired on November 1, 2018 (the "Expiration Date"), was oversubscribed and the over-subscription requests exceeded the over-subscription shares available. Accordingly, the shares issued as part of the over-subscription privilege of the Offering will be allocated pro-rata among record date stockholders who submitted over-subscription requests based on the number of rights originally issued to them by the Fund.

The subscription price of $16.93 per share was established by the Fund's Board of Directors pursuant to the terms of the Offering based upon a formula equal to 95% of the reported net asset value per share on the Expiration Date. The new shares of common stock will be issued on or about November 9, 2018.

Gross proceeds received by the Fund, before any expenses of the Offering, are expected to total approximately $30.3 million.

Investors wishing to buy or sell stock need to place orders through an intermediary or broker. The share price of a closed-end fund is based on the market value.
