DENVER, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- RiverNorth Opportunities Fund, Inc. (NYSE: RIV) (the "Fund") announces that it has extended the expiration date ("Expiration Date") of the Fund's previously announced transferable subscription rights offering (the "Rights Offering") to 5:00 PM Eastern Time on November 6, 2020, unless further extended by the Fund's Board of Directors.
