ACQUISITIONS

2015 Acquisitions
Acquisition of Honiton
On May 14, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of 100.0% of the outstanding shares of Honiton Energy XIL Holdings Limited (“Honiton XIL”) and Honiton Energy BAV Holdings Limited (“Honiton BAV”) and together with Honiton XIL, “Honiton”) from Honiton Energy Caymans Limited. Honiton operates three wind power plants located in China with an aggregate net capacity of 148.5 MW. The aggregate consideration paid for this acquisition was $109.1 million in cash, which was funded with proceeds from the Private Placement offerings (see Note 13- Stockholders' Equity for additional information on the Private Placement offerings.)
As further described in Item 15. Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies, the Company was subject to pending litigation proceedings with Suzlon Energy (Tianjin) Limited (“SETL”) with respect to alleged breaches of a turbine supply contract relating to the Honiton wind power plants in China. The operation and maintenance service contracts claim pending before an arbitral tribunal was resolved on December 3, 2015, pursuant to which the Company was required to pay an award of approximately $0.5 million, which was paid in January 2016. On June 3, 2016, SETL and the Company reached a settlement resolving all remaining disputes relating to the turbine contracts. The terms of this final settlement resulted in SETL assigning all rights as a creditor it held against the Company to Beijing Aliyun Investment and Consulting Co. Ltd. (“Aliyun”). In addition, the Company agreed to pay Aliyun $7.1 million (RMB 47.0 million), of which RMB 45.0 million was paid during the second quarter of 2016, and the remaining RMB 2.0 million is due no later than July 2018, subject to various conditions set forth in the settlement agreement. In accordance with the settlement agreement, SETL withdrew its pending claims against the Company. As of December 31, 2015, a liability was recognized related to the proceedings in the amount of $8.4 million (RMB 54.4 million).
Acquisition of NSM 24
On June 9, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of a 51.0% equity interest in SEI Solar Power Private Limited (“NSM 24”) from Astronergy Solar Korea Co. Limited. NSM 24 owns a solar power plant located in India with an aggregate net capacity of 24.0 MW. The aggregate consideration paid for the acquisition of this interest was $9.1 million in cash.
Concurrently, SunEdison contributed its 49.0% equity interest in NSM 24 to the Company, which was remeasured from SunEdison’s historical cost basis to fair value of $8.7 million at the time of the acquisition. Accordingly, the NSM 24 acquisition was accounted for as a step acquisition, and the Company recognized a gain of $1.4 million related to the remeasurement of the equity interest in NSM 24 to fair value. This remeasurement gain is reported as a gain on previously held equity investment in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Acquisition of Witkop/Soutpan
On August 6, 2015, SunEdison completed the acquisition of an additional 41.3% equity interest in the solar power plants Witkop and Soutpan located in South Africa with an aggregate net capacity of 32.6 MW from a subsidiary of Chint Solar (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. Prior to this purchase, SunEdison held a 9.7% interest in each of these solar power plants, which were accounted for as equity method investments in its consolidated financial statements. Concurrent with its acquisition of additional equity interest in Witkop and Soutpan, SunEdison transferred its aggregate interest in each of these solar power plants and an intermediary holding entity to the Company. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company for the acquisition of these interests was $38.7 million in cash, which was funded with proceeds from the Private Placement offerings. The combined fair value of the Company’s aggregate interest was $47.8 million on the date of the acquisition. The fair value of the non-controlling interest was determined using the combined fair value of the Company's aggregate interest, pro-rata at the fair value rate of the percentage acquired multiplied against the non-controlling interest.
Acquisition of Renova - Bahia/Salvador
In July 2015, the Company entered into agreements with Renova Energia S.A. (“Renova”) to acquire two wind power plants and one hydro-electric power plant in Brazil that have an aggregate net capacity of approximately 336.2 MW (the “Renova Transaction”). On September 18, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Salvador and Bahia, two wind power plants that represent 306.7 MW of aggregate net capacity. At the time, the consideration paid for the Salvador and Bahia wind power plants was $321.3 million, comprised of $117.3 million in cash, 20,327,499 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock valued at $183.6 million based on the value on September 18, 2015 of $9.03 per share and a put/call arrangement contributed by SunEdison with a fair value of $20.4 million.
In the first quarter of 2016, the Company agreed with Renova on the final purchase price adjustments for wind power plants. The adjustments are factored into the allocation of assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. Pending settlement, the revised consideration for the Salvador and Bahia wind power plants is $320.7 million. This is comprised of $117.7 million in cash, 20,223,581 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock valued at $182.6 million based on the value on September 18, 2015 share price of $9.03 per share and a put/call arrangement contributed by SunEdison with a fair value of $20.4 million.
In connection with the closing of the Salvador and Bahia acquisitions on September 18, 2015, the Company entered into an omnibus closing agreement (the “Omnibus Agreement”) with Global LLC, SunEdison, certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, and Renova, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company accepted certain financing liens on certain bank accounts related to the Bahia and Salvador power plants (the “Renova Liens”). In exchange for its acceptance of the Renova Liens, Renova granted to Global LLC a security interest in certain shares of the Company’s Class A common stock received by Renova in connection with the Renova Transaction and an agreement to place $5.0 million of the purchase price for the Bahia wind power plant and certain future dividends payable to Renova into an escrow account as security for Renova’s performance of its obligations to release the Renova Liens, which is held in restricted cash on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. On January 27, 2016, Renova released the liens related to the Bahia and Salvador wind power plants. Therefore, in March 2016 and pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement, the cash held in escrow was released to Renova, and Global LLC terminated its security interest in the 19,221,671 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock owned by Renova.
After the closing of the Bahia and Salvador acquisitions, the various project companies repaid their outstanding project level indebtedness in full on September 30, 2015. Although the repayment of this indebtedness resulted in the termination of all guarantees and restrictions arising under the financing agreements, as of December 31, 2015 the project lender had not provided a release letter to the escrow agent under the financing agreements, and as a result approximately $49.2 million in funds of the Bahia and Salvador project companies continued to be held in restricted cash on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. On March 31, 2016, the project lender provided the release letter to the escrow agent, thereby lifting any and all restrictions on usage of funds in the previously restricted accounts.
As a result of the Renova Transaction, Renova is entitled to appoint one director to the Company’s Board, and such right will continue so long as Renova holds at least 28.0% of the 20,327,499 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that Renova received in connection with the Renova Transaction. As of December 31, 2015, Renova held 20,327,499, or 100.0%, of those shares. Renova has not exercised its right to appoint a director to the Board.
As further described in Item 15. Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies, Renova has filed a request for arbitration to bring certain claims against the Company related to the Renova Transaction including, but not limited to, claims that the Company was liable to satisfy SunEdison’s obligations under a put/call arrangement entered into between SunEdison and Renova in connection with the Renova Transaction, and claims for common law fraud and securities fraud in connection with the Salvador and Bahia transactions.

The initial accounting for the FERSA business combination is not complete because the evaluation necessary to assess the fair values of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed is in process. The provisional amounts are subject to revision until the evaluations are completed to the extent that any additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
NPS Star and WXA
Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO on August 5, 2015, and pursuant to the Project Investment Agreement (the "Project Investment Agreement") between SunEdison and the Company, SunEdison agreed to contribute to the Company certain projects, without further payment, once each project reached commercial operation. These projects include the 17.4 MW Del Litoral and 57.4 MW El Naranjal solar power projects in Uruguay, the 24.1 MW Bora Bora Poly wind power project in India, and the 17.8 MW NPS Star and 17.8 MW WXA solar power projects in Thailand. The NPS Star and WXA solar power plants reached commercial operation in December 2015 and were transferred by SunEdison to the Company on February 24, 2016. SunEdison transferred to the Company a 49.0% equity interest, constituting a controlling interest and substantially all of the economic interest, in each of NPS Star and WXA, each of which consists of three solar power plants located in Thailand. These solar power plants represent 35.6 MW of aggregate net capacity.
Alto Cielo
On April 8, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100.0% ownership interest in the Alto Cielo solar power plant located in Uruguay with an aggregate net capacity of 26.4 MW from Solarpack Corporación Tecnológica, S.L. The power plant reached commercial operation in March 2016. The aggregate cash consideration paid for the Alto Cielo power plant was $32.3 million, of which $1.9 million is being held in escrow accounts until certain conditions are met.
Transfer of Balance of Equity in Certain Projects in India
In April 2016, SunEdison transferred to the Company the balance of 51.0% of the equity interests in the NSM Suryalabh, NSM Sitara and NSM L’Volta solar power plants in India following the expiration of the equity lock-up period in the applicable PPAs. Consideration for the transfer of the balance of 51.0% of the equity interests in these power plants was received by SunEdison in the form of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock that were issued to SunEdison at the time of our IPO, and there was no further payment made by the Company to SunEdison at the time of the transfer.
In October 2016, SunEdison transferred to the Company 11.0% of the equity interests in the Millenium solar power plant in India for cash consideration of approximately $1.0 million. In addition, SunEdison transferred to the Company the balance of 51.0% of the equity interests in the Focal solar power plant in India following the expiration of the equity lock-up period in the applicable PPAs, at which time the Company was required to make a cash payment of $0.5 million to the original project developer, a third party. Consideration for the transfer of the balance of 51.0% of the equity interests in the Focal power plant was received by SunEdison in the form of shares of the Company's Class B common stock that were issued to SunEdison at the time of our IPO, and there was no further payment made by the Company to SunEdison at the time of the transfer.
In October 2016, the Company also entered into arrangements with SunEdison for the transfer of the balance of the equity interests in the Millenium, Azure, ESP Urja and SE-25 solar power plants in India, in each case following the expiration of the equity lock-up period in the applicable PPAs (ranging from November 2016 to March 2017) and without further action by SunEdison. Consideration for the transfer of the balance of the equity interests in these power plants was received by SunEdison in the form of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock that were issued to SunEdison at the time of our IPO, and there will be no further payment to be made by the Company to SunEdison at the time of these planned transfers. In November 2016, the balance of 26% of the equity interests in Azure were transferred to the Company in accordance with these arrangements.
Pending Acquisition
Acquisition of BioTherm
In April 2015, the Company entered into purchase and sale agreements to acquire a controlling interest in three operating power plants located in South Africa with an aggregate net capacity of 32.6 MW from BTSA Netherlands Cooperatie U.A. (“BioTherm”). The aggregate consideration payable for the controlling interests in these three power plants is approximately $74.5 million in cash, comprised of approximately $67.6 million and ZAR 100.4 million (approximately $6.9 million as of December 31, 2015), plus 544,055 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, which is fixed in accordance with the purchase and sale agreements. The cash used to fund these acquisitions is primarily from the Company's Private Placement offerings. The aggregate consideration includes amounts for certain additional rights and services. The completion of the BioTherm transaction remains subject to obtaining consents from project lenders and is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2017.
In August 2015, the Company paid $65.6 million in cash for the interests in the solar power plants Aries and Konkoonsies, and the wind power plant Klipheuwel, as well as certain additional rights. In addition to the cash consideration, the Company provided 544,055 shares of its Class A common stock as consideration for the interests in the three power plants. Approximately $20.3 million of the cash payment and all of the 544,055 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock were deposited into an escrow account. The cash portion of this escrow deposit is reported as non-current restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. The remaining paid consideration of $45.3 million in cash and the August 2015 fair value of the 544,055 shares are reported as a deposit for acquisitions on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015.
As of December 31, 2015, the remaining balance due is approximately $8.9 million, comprised of $2.0 million and ZAR 11.6 million ($0.8 million) due to BioTherm and ZAR 88.9 million due to minority interests ($6.1 million). Prior to the completion of the BioTherm transaction, BioTherm is required to direct payment of all distributions from the Klipheuwel power plant to the Company, and the Company and BioTherm are required to jointly direct the release of amounts equal to the cash distributions from the Aries and Konkoonsies solar power plants from the escrow to the Company.
Pending receipt of the consents from the project lenders, the Company may at its discretion direct a sale of the power plants to a third party. In respect of the Aries and Konkoonsies projects, due to the fact that the closing did not occur by November 30, 2016, the parties have engaged in discussion to agree upon an alternative structure that would permit release of the escrowed funds as required pursuant to the applicable purchase and sale agreements. Failure to complete the transaction, or to reach agreement upon an alternative structure that would permit release of the escrowed funds, by January 30, 2017 would entitle BioTherm to sell the power plants to a third party. Upon closing of a sale to a third party, all sale proceeds are required to be paid to the Company, any amounts remaining in the escrow account are required to be released to BioTherm and the Company is required to pay the remainder of the purchase price.
Incomplete IPO Project Transfers and Dropdowns
Del Litoral, El Naranjal and Bora Bora Poly
Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO on August 5, 2015, and pursuant to the Project Investment Agreement (the "Project Investment Agreement") between SunEdison and the Company, SunEdison agreed to contribute to the Company certain projects, without further payment, once each project reached commercial operation. These projects include the 17.4 MW Del Litoral and 57.4 MW El Naranjal solar power projects in Uruguay (the “Uruguay Projects”), the 24.1 MW Bora Bora Poly wind power project located in India, and the 17.8 MW NPS Star and 17.8 MW WXA solar power projects in Thailand. The NPS Star and WXA solar power plants reached commercial operation in December 2015 and were transferred by SunEdison to the Company in the first quarter of 2016.
On March 23, 2016, SunEdison and the Company entered into an amendment to the Project Investment Agreement, which extended the contribution deadline for SunEdison to contribute the remaining projects pursuant to the Project Investment Agreement to July 31, 2016. As part of the SunEdison Bankruptcy, the construction on the projects was materially delayed and/or abandoned due to the lack of funding by SunEdison. There were material amounts of project costs and equity contributions for the Uruguay Projects that remained to be contributed by SunEdison in order to complete construction of these projects and disbursement of the project finance debt facilities. Additionally, SunEdison experienced delays in completing construction of the Bora Bora Poly wind power project in India, and the transfer of the project required project lender consent, which was not obtained. In light of the SunEdison Bankruptcy, we will not obtain these projects under the Project Investment Agreement and we will not obtain any substitute projects from SunEdison.
425 MW India Projects
See Note 5 - Deposits for Acquisitions for information regarding the 425 MW India Projects.
In September 2016, the Company reached an agreement with certain subsidiaries of SunEdison pursuant to which the Company consented to the sale of certain of SunEdison’s subsidiaries’ assets to a third party buyer (the “Third Party Sale Transaction”). The Third Party Sale Transaction is being conducted in connection with SunEdison’s bankruptcy process and includes the Uruguay Projects, the Bora Bora Poly wind power project in India and the 425 MW India portfolio. The Company has agreed not to pursue claims against a third party buyer of these projects, however the Company has retained all of its claims against SunEdison and its affiliated persons. As a condition to the Company’s consent to the Third Party Sale Transaction, the Company and certain subsidiaries of SunEdison that directly or indirectly own the assets that are subject to the Third Party Sale Transaction have entered into a proceeds sharing arrangement pursuant to which the Company is entitled to receive a portion of the cash proceeds received by the SunEdison parties in the Third Party Sale Transaction. The Company has received $6.7 million in cash proceeds from this arrangement.
Terminated Acquisitions
LAP
In May 2015, SunEdison entered into a share purchase agreement with the stockholders of Latin America Power Holding, B.V. (“LAP”), to acquire certain hydro-electric and wind power plants located in Peru with a combined nameplate capacity of 72.5 MW (the “Peru Facilities”). SunEdison intended to transfer the Peru Facilities to the Company after the closing of the acquisition.
The share purchase agreement was subsequently terminated by the parties thereto and, as a result of such termination, the Company will not acquire the Peru Facilities from SunEdison. All outstanding claims pending before arbitration tribunals and courts among the parties to the share purchase agreement were resolved pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into among the parties to the share purchase agreement on March 3, 2016 and a subsequent settlement agreement entered into among the parties to the share purchase agreement on April 20, 2016. The Company, which had no contractual obligation in connection with the LAP transaction, was not named as a party in any such arbitration or court proceeding and has no liability arising out of the settlement agreement.
GME
In June 2015, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “GME Agreement”) with the stockholders of Globeleq Mesoamérica Energy (Wind) Limited (“GME”) to acquire four wind power plants and a solar power plant in Honduras, Costa Rica and Nicaragua representing an aggregate capacity of 326.0MW, as well as GME’s wind and solar development platform. The aggregate consideration payable by the Company to GME would have been comprised of $337.9 million in cash and 701,754 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, plus interest of 15.0% per annum on the purchase price accruing from October 1, 2015. Immediately following the acquisition of GME by the Company, the Company expected to sell GME’s development platform to SunEdison. In addition, shortly following the completion of the GME acquisition, the Company expected to pay $46.9 million to SunEdison for the Choluteca solar power plant upon the closing of a separate purchase agreement between SunEdison and GME, subject to a potential downward adjustment based on the actual tariff rates awarded to the power plant.
The consummation of the GME transaction was subject to various conditions, including the receipt of consents from the project lenders, which consents were not received by the long-stop date of March 12, 2016 under the GME Agreement. Under the GME Agreement, in the event that the transaction did not close by March 12, 2016, either the Company or the sellers could terminate the transaction. As a result, on March 14, 2016, the Company terminated the GME Agreement. In December 2016, the Company and the stockholders of GME entered into a mutual release agreement pursuant to which each party agreed to release all potential claims against the other party in connection with the GME transaction. Pursuant to the release agreement, the Company paid $0.4 million to the stockholders of GME as a reimbursement for certain expenses incurred in connection with the GME transaction.
Renova - ESPRA
On March 29, 2016, the Company entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Renova with respect to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 15, 2015 among the Company, SunEdison and Renova relating to the ESPRA hydro-electric power plant (the “ESPRA SPA”). The Termination Agreement provides that, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the ESPRA SPA will be terminated by mutual agreement of the Company and Renova. These conditions were satisfied on March 31, 2016 and the ESPRA SPA has been terminated. The Termination Agreement provides that the Company will pay Renova $10.0 million in connection with the termination of the ESPRA SPA. The Company made this payment to Renova on April 1, 2016. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company and Renova have granted each other full releases of any further obligations under the ESPRA SPA. As further described in Item 15. Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies, on July 14, 2016, Renova filed a request for arbitration against the Company and certain subsidiaries related to the Renova Transaction including, but not limited to, claims that the Company was liable to satisfy SunEdison’s obligations under a put/call arrangement entered into between SunEdison and Renova in connection with the Renova Transaction, and claims for common law fraud and securities fraud in connection with the Salvador and Bahia transactions.
