TerraForm Power Prices $700 Million Offering of Senior Notes

NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TerraForm Power, Inc. (Nasdaq: TERP) (“TerraForm Power”) today announced that its indirect subsidiary, TerraForm Power Operating, LLC (the “Issuer”), priced $700 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) at an initial offering price of 100% of the principal amount (the “Offering”) in connection with its previously announced private offering.

The Notes will be senior obligations of the Issuer and will be guaranteed by the Issuer’s direct parent, TerraForm Power, LLC (“Terra LLC”), and each of the Issuer’s existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities or certain other material indebtedness of the Issuer or Terra LLC, subject to certain exceptions. TerraForm Power will not guarantee the Notes.

The Offering is expected to close on or about October 16, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds to redeem in full its existing senior notes due 2025 (the “Existing 2025 Notes”), to repay in full amounts outstanding under its senior secured term loan facility and to pay related fees and expenses, with any remaining amounts to be used for general corporate purposes. The Issuer has conditionally called for redemption all of the Existing 2025 Notes in accordance with the indenture governing the Existing 2025 Notes. The redemption of the Existing 2025 Notes is conditioned upon completion of the Offering.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, such an offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Any offers of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to persons outside of the United States under Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
