This Amendment No. 19 hereby amends Items 3, 4, 5(a)-(b), 6 and 7 of the Amended Schedule 13D as follows:

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

The description of the Proposal set forth in Item 4 below is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

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

On January 11, 2020, Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (“BEP”), an affiliate of the Reporting Persons, submitted a preliminary non-binding letter (the “Proposal Letter”) to the board of directors of the Issuer proposing a transaction for BEP to acquire all of the outstanding Class A Shares of the Issuer, other than those Class A Shares currently held by BEP and its affiliates (the “Proposal”), at a price of 0.36 BEP units per Class A Share, subject to adjustment as described in the Proposal Letter. The form of the consideration will be Class A shares of Brookfield Renewable Corporation, a subsidiary of BEP (“BEPC”). Class A shares of BEPC are expected to be structured to be economically equivalent to BEP units. A copy of the Proposal Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.26. As described in the Proposal Letter, the Proposal is subject to a number of customary approvals, including the approval of a committee of the board of directors of the Issuer consisting solely of independent directors (the “Independent Committee”) and approval of a majority of the Issuer’s shareholders not affiliated with BEP. The merger agreement is expected to contain a non-waivable condition requiring the approval of a majority of the Issuer’s shareholders not affiliated with BEP. No assurances can be given that a definitive agreement with respect to the Proposal will be entered into, as to the final terms of any agreed transaction or that a transaction will be consummated.

On January 13, 2020, BEP issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing the Proposal, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.27.

On January 13, 2020, BEP made available an investor presentation (the “Investor Presentation”) regarding the Proposal, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.28.

The Reporting Persons and their affiliates may at any time, or from time to time, acquire additional Class A Shares or dispose of their Class A Shares; propose, pursue, or choose not to pursue the Proposal; change the terms of the Proposal, including the price, form of consideration, conditions, or scope of the transaction (except that the Reporting Persons and their affiliates will not agree to any revision to the Proposal to remove the conditions requiring the approval of the Independent Committee and the approval of a majority of the Issuer’s shareholders not affiliated with BEP); or change their intentions with respect to any such matters.

While the Proposal remains under consideration or negotiation by the Issuer and its board of directors (including the Independent Committee), the Reporting Persons and/or their affiliates expect to respond to inquiries from, and negotiate the terms of the Proposal with, the Issuer and its board of directors (including the Independent Committee) or their respective representatives. These negotiations may include changes to the terms of the Proposal, including the consideration, except that the Reporting Persons and their affiliates will not agree to any revision to the Proposal to remove the conditions requiring the approval of the Independent Committee and the approval of a majority of the Issuer’s shareholders not affiliated with BEP. The Reporting Persons do not intend to update additional disclosures in the Amended Schedule 13D regarding the Proposal until a definitive agreement has been reached, or unless disclosure is otherwise required under applicable U.S. or Canadian securities laws.

The Proposal Letter provides that it does not create any legally binding obligations and that no such obligations will exist unless and until mutually acceptable definitive documentation has been executed and delivered. No binding obligation on the part of the Reporting Persons or any of their affiliates will arise with respect to the filing of this Amended Schedule 13D.

Other than as described above and in the Proposal Letter, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals of the type referred to in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although they and their affiliates reserve the right to formulate such plans or proposals in the future. If the proposed transaction is not consummated, the Reporting Persons and their affiliates will continue to regularly review and assess their investment in the Issuer and depending on market conditions and other factors may determine, from time to time, to engage in any of the events set forth in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The foregoing descriptions of the Proposal Letter, the Press Release and the Investor Presentation do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Proposal Letter, the Press Release and the Investor Presentation, respectively, filed herewith.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(a)-(b) of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated by deleting the first paragraph thereof in its entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:

(a)-(b) The aggregate number and percentage of Class A Shares of the Issuer held by the Reporting Persons to which this Amended Schedule 13D relates is 139,631,666 shares, constituting 61.50% of the Issuer’s currently outstanding Class A Shares. The percentage of Class A Shares of the Issuer is based on an aggregate number of Class A Shares of 227,044,072 outstanding as of October 31, 2019, as disclosed by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed November 12, 2019.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 19 is incorporated by reference into Item 6 of the Amended Schedule 13D.

Except as described in the Amended Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons are not currently parties to any other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
