PART III —NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Riverview Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 (the “Q3 2021 Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed due date for the reasons described below.

As a result of recent guidance to Special Purpose Acquisition Companies by the SEC regarding redeemable equity instruments, the Company revisited its application of ASC 480-10-S99 on its financial statements. The Company had previously classified a portion of its Class A ordinary shares in permanent equity.

The Company is working diligently to complete the review of the financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as soon as possible; however, given the scope of the process for determining the appropriate treatment of the redeemable equity in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company is unable to complete and file the Q3 2021 Form 10-Q by the required due date of November 15, 2021 without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company does, however, expect to file such report within five calendar days thereof.
