Mr. Meth co-founded the Company beginning with Intrinergy, the predecessor to our former sponsor, in 2004, where he served as Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing continuously through the transition of Intrinergy to Enviva and with the general partner of Enviva Partners, LP beginning in November 2013.

Mr. Meth holds a bachelor of commerce from Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration in Austria as well as an MBA from The Darden Graduate School of Business Administration at The University of Virginia.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Meth and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Meth was appointed President of the Company, nor are there any relationships between Mr. Meth and the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
