PATTERN ENERGY GROUP INC. (NASDAQ:PEGI) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive AgreementItem 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
In February 2018, the Company had purchased interests in GK Green Power Futtsu, a Japanese godo kaisha (“Futtsu”), from Green Power Investment Corporation, a Japanese kabaushiki kaisha (“GPI”). The Company’s investment in Futtsu is subject to a cash sharing mechanism (“Flip-Structure”) which results in a change of the allocated cash sharing ratio amongst the two members upon the project reaching certain financial milestones.
On August 14, 2018, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Green Power Generation GK, and GPI agreed to amend the governing document for the partnership (the “Membership Agreement”) in order to eliminate the Flip-Structure and instead have each party receive a straight and fixed share of the cash from the investment, with the Company receiving 75% and GPI receiving 25%. Such amendment maintains the overall returns to each investor and does not result in a material change to the internal rate of return the Company expects from its investment in Futtsu.
The amendment to the Membership Agreement was recommended by the Conflicts Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, which is comprised solely of independent directors, for approval by the Board of Directors, and was subsequently approved by the Board of Directors.
