This Amendment No. 8 (this “Amendment No. 8”) to Schedule 13D is being filed by Appaloosa Investment Limited Partnership I, Palomino Master Ltd., Appaloosa LP, Appaloosa Capital Inc., Appaloosa Management L.P., Appaloosa Partners Inc. and David A. Tepper to supplement and amend the Statement on Schedule 13D, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 2, 2015 (the “initial Schedule 13D”), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1, filed December 8, 2015 (“Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2, filed December 22, 2015 (“Amendment No. 2”), Amendment No. 3, filed January 8, 2016 (“Amendment No. 3”), Amendment No. 4, filed April 1, 2016 (“Amendment No. 4”) Amendment No. 5, filed May 13, 2016 (“Amendment No. 5”), Amendment No. 6, filed July 22, 2016 (“Amendment No. 6”) and Amendment No. 7, filed October 19, 2016 (“Amendment No. 7”) with respect to beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of TerraForm Power, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The initial Schedule 13D, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6 and Amendment No. 7 is referred to herein as the “prior Schedule 13D”; and the prior Schedule 13D, as amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 8, is referred to herein as “this Schedule 13D.”

 

This Amendment No. 8 is being filed to disclose a meeting between Brookfield and the independent members of the board of directors of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons did not attend such meeting but are making the disclosures herein due to the Reporting Persons’ status as a member of a “group” with Brookfield within the meaning of the Act with respect to the Class A Common Stock of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons and Brookfield are individually filing pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) under the Exchange Act.

 

This Amendment No. 8 hereby amends Item 4 of the prior Schedule 13D as follows:

 

 

ITEM 4.     Purpose of the Transaction.

 

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

 

On November 9, 2016, representatives of Brookfield met with the independent members of the board of directors of the Issuer, TerraForm Global, Inc. ("GLBL" and, collectively, with the Issuer, the "TerraForm Companies") and their advisors.  At the meeting, Brookfield discussed the possibility of transactions involving Brookfield and the TerraForm Companies.  Brookfield proposed two possible transaction structures: one in which Brookfield would purchase shares in the TerraForm Companies from their existing Class A and Class B stockholders, the TerraForm Companies would remain listed public entities, and Brookfield would replace SunEdison as sponsor; and an alternative structure in which Brookfield would purchase 100% of the TerraForm Companies for cash.  Nothing was agreed at the meeting, and no specific prices were discussed, but the Brookfield representatives indicated that their proposals were being discussed on the basis of public information and in light of the current market prices of the TerraForm Companies.  The representatives of Brookfield indicated that it would consider a transaction along the lines described above for the Issuer only and for both the Issuer and GLBL but that any transaction involving GLBL would be conditioned on successful completion of the transaction for the Issuer.
