This Amendment No. 9 hereby amends the Amended Schedule 13D as follows:

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Item 2 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting in their entirety Schedule I, Schedule II, Schedule V and Schedule VI, which set forth a list of the directors and executive officers of Orion US GP LLC, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III GP LLC, Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and Partners Limited, respectively, and the principal occupations and addresses of such directors and executive officers, and substituting Schedule I, Schedule II, Schedule V and Schedule VI attached hereto in lieu thereof.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

On March 6, 2017, the Issuer entered into a Merger and Sponsorship Transaction Agreement (the Transaction Agreement) with Orion US LP, and BRE TERP Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orion US LP (Merger Sub), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer (the Merger), with the Issuer as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the Surviving Corporation) following which Orion US LP will own 51% of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation. The Transaction Agreement provides that, at or prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Issuer and Orion US LP (or one of its affiliates) will enter into certain agreements providing for sponsorship arrangements as described in greater detail below.

At the effective time of the Merger, each Class A Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than the Excluded Shares (as defined in the Transaction Agreement)), will be converted into the right to, at the holders election and subject to proration as described below, either (i) receive $9.52 per Class A Share, in cash, without interest (the Per Share Cash Consideration) or (ii) retain one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (the Per Share Stock Consideration). The Per Share Stock Consideration will be subject to proration in the event that the aggregate number of Class A Shares for which an election to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration has been made exceeds a certain maximum number as described more fully in the Transaction Agreement, and the Per Share Cash Consideration will be subject to proration in the event that the aggregate number of Class A Shares for which an election to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration has been made exceeds a certain maximum number as described more fully in the Transaction Agreement.

Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Issuer will declare the payment of a special cash dividend in the amount of $1.94 per Class A Share, as described in further detail in the Transaction Agreement.

The Transaction Agreement includes a non-waivable condition to closing that the Transaction Agreement be approved by holders of a majority of the outstanding Class A Shares, excluding SunEdison, Inc. (“SunEdison”), Orion US LP, any of their respective affiliates and any person with whom any of them has formed (and not terminated) a group (as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
 
Closing of the Merger is subject to certain additional conditions, including the adoption of the Transaction Agreement by the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding Class A Shares and shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (together with the Class A Shares, the “Shares”), of the Company entitled to vote on the Merger, the expiration or early termination of the waiting period applicable to consummation of the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the entry by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York of orders authorizing and approving the entry by SunEdison (and if, applicable, SunEdisons debtor affiliates) into the Settlement Agreement, the Voting and Support Agreement and any other agreement entered into in connection with the Merger or the related transactions to which SunEdison or any other debtor will be a party, and other customary closing conditions.
 
 
11

 
There is no financing condition to the consummation of the Transactions. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to provide cooperation as reasonably requested by Orion US LP in Orion US LPs efforts to obtain debt financing that is to be made available to the Issuer from and after the closing of the Merger.
 
In addition, the Transaction Agreement provides that, at or prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Issuer will enter into (a) the Master Services Agreement (the MSA) by and among the Issuer, TerraForm Power, LLC (TERP LLC), Terraform Power Operating, LLC (TERP Operating LLC), Brookfield and certain affiliates of Brookfield (collectively, the MSA Providers) pursuant to which the MSA Providers will provide certain services to the Issuer and its subsidiaries commencing at the effective time of the Merger, a form of which is set forth in Exhibit C to the Transaction Agreement filed as Exhibit 99.5 to this Amendment No. 9, (b) a revolving credit line agreement, substantially consistent with the terms set forth in Exhibit D to the Transaction Agreement filed as Exhibit 99.5 to this Amendment No. 9, by and among the Issuer and Brookfield or certain creditworthy affiliates of Brookfield (the Sponsor Line Provider) pursuant to which the Sponsor Line Provider will commit up to a $500 million revolving credit line to the Issuer, (c) the Relationship Agreement by and among the Issuer, TERP LLC, TERP Operating LLC and Brookfield, pursuant to which, among other things, Brookfield will provide the Issuer and its subsidiaries with a right of first offer on certain wind and solar assets in North America and certain other Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development nations, a form of which is set forth in Exhibit E to the Transaction Agreement filed as Exhibit 99.5 to this Amendment No. 9 and (d) the Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Issuer and Orion US LP providing Orion US LP with registration rights with respect to its shares in the Surviving Corporation, a form of which is set forth in Exhibit F to the Transaction Agreement filed as Exhibit 99.5 to this Amendment No. 9. The Transaction Agreement also requires the Issuer to issue to Orion US LP additional shares of the Surviving Corporation in respect of any losses, costs or expenses of the Issuer arising out of certain specified litigation matters.

Further, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, the governing documents of the Surviving Corporation, including its by-laws and certificate of incorporation, will be amended and restated to be substantially consistent with the governance terms set forth in Exhibit I to the Transaction Agreement (the “Governance Terms”).

In accordance with the Governance Terms, immediately following the consummation of the Merger, the board of directors of the Issuer will consist of seven members, four of whom will be designated by Orion US LP and three of whom will be selected from the independent directors of the Issuer as of the date of the Transaction Agreement, as agreed between Orion US LP and the Conflicts Committee of the Issuer.  Going forward, Orion US LP will be entitled to designate four directors, except that (1) if Orion US LP holds less than a majority of the Class A Shares at least one of Orion US LP’s four designees must be independent and (2) if the MSA ceases to be in effect the number of directors to be designated by Orion US LP shall be subject to reduction based on Orion US LP’s ownership percentage.  Going forward, nominees for election as a director, other than those designated by Orion US LP, will thereafter be proposed for election by a majority of the then-existing independent directors not designated by Orion US LP.  Orion US LP will agree not to vote with respect to the election or removal of any director other than a director designated by Orion US LP, except that, if the MSA is not in effect, Orion US LP will be permitted to vote with respect to the election or removal of all the directors.  In accordance with the Governance Terms, upon the consummation of the Merger, the MSA Providers will designate a Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, each of whom shall be employed by the MSA Providers.  The full text of the Governance Terms are incorporated herein by reference.

It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Issuer, Brookfield or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.
