This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D supplements the information set forth in the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as amended from time to time
(the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the Common
Units (the "Common Units") of Enviva Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant. The Schedule 13D is
hereby supplementally amended as follows:
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The source of funds used for the purchase of the Issuer's securities was the working capital of ValueAct Spring Fund. The aggregate purchase price of the Common Units beneficially owned by the

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
On June 18, 2020, the general partner of the Issuer appointed Jeffrey W. Ubben, the Chairman of ValueAct Capital, to serve as

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 4,834,867 Common
Units, representing approximately 12.2% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Units. All percentages set forth in this Schedule 13D are based
upon the Issuer's reported 39,765,192 outstanding Common Units as of June 18, 2020 as reported in the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 18, 2020.
