Terraform Power, Inc. (TERP): Appaloosa Management Raises Stake and Steps Up Involvement

Billionaire activist investor David Tepper of Appaloosa Management is solidifying his involvement in TerraForm Power Inc (NASDAQ:TERP). As a newly-amended filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission showed, Appaloosa owns 10.88% of SunEdison’s yieldco TerraForm Power, the position amassing 8.71 million shares, which compares to 7.60 million shares held previously. Aside from raising its exposure to TerraForm Power, Appaloosa added in the filing that it had filed an amended complaint against SunEdison.

The amended complaint requested the adoption of several reforms, including the removal of TerraForm Power Inc (NASDAQ:TERP)’s members of the Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee and their replacement with members elected by the company’s publish shareholders, as well as the removal of the CEO Brian Wuebbels, who, resigned on Wednesday. In addition, the investor requested the appointment of a director or monitor to TerraForm’s board of directors, who will represent the interests of the public shareholders.

Heading into 2016, a total of 24 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey were bullish on TerraForm Power Inc (NASDAQ:TERP), down by 23% on the quarter. Andrew Feldstein and Stephen Siderow’s Blue Mountain Capital holds the biggest position, which contains 9.17 million shares as of the end of 2015. Some other hedge funds and institutional investors with similar optimism include Phill Gross and Robert Atchinson’s Adage Capital Management, D. E. Shaw’s D E Shaw and Christian Leone’s Luxor Capital Group.
