Subsequent Events

The investment opportunity for RCOI remains robust with several actionable opportunities within the pipeline, including some market-based activities that meet our risk adjusted return thresholds. In terms of existing deal activity, Project Knox made a sizable draw in July with the remainder expected to be drawn in Q4. Project Chase is expected to make its final draw in Q3 and Project Mariners will likely draw on the revolver periodically throughout Q3 and Q4.

Manager Outlook

§ The Investment Manager's focus on asset-based lending with structural protections and conservative loan-to-value ratios has resulted in relatively strong fundamental performance during very challenging market conditions.   Despite the large number of investment opportunities that have been reviewed, the Investment Manager has remained very disciplined in deploying capital.

§ The current macro environment for energy continues to face a significant amount of volatility as the coronavirus pandemic continues to persist globally. While spot prices for oil have modestly improved, the uncertainty around global demand remains and continues to impact the broader energy market. In light of the current market dynamic, many companies will need access to capital and have limited options for financing. In addition to providing support to existing portfolio companies, the Investment Manager expects to take advantage of opportunities that arise from market dislocations and the limited capital available for energy companies.

Christopher Abbate and Jamie Brodsky, Co-Founders of Riverstone Credit, added:

"The market for energy continues to be difficult, and valuations across public markets have been impacted significantly by the coronavirus pandemic. The RCOI portfolio has been resilient on a relative basis and remains profitable despite challenges in the broader market.  We believe that the investment strategy's differentiated attributes of providing short duration loans with conservative loan-to-value ratios and protective features have been highly advantageous and will support our ability to generate attractive returns for our shareholders longer term."

About Riverstone Credit Opportunities Income Plc:

RCOI seeks to generate consistent Shareholder returns predominantly in the form of income distributions, principally by making senior secured loans to small and middle-market energy companies. The investment strategy is predicated on asset-based lending, with conservative loan-to-value ratios and structural protective features to mitigate risk. The Company will invest broadly across energy subsectors globally, with an initial focus on North America. RCOI intends to create a diversified portfolio across basins, commodities, and end-markets to provide natural synergies and hedges that could enhance the overall stability of the portfolio.
