Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Purchase Agreement

On January 20, 2017, Pattern Energy Group Inc. (the Company) and
Pattern US Finance Company LLC, as guarantor (the Guarantor),
entered into a purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with
Morgan Stanley Co. LLC acting as representative of the several
initial purchasers named therein (collectively, the Initial
Purchasers), relating to the previously announced issuance and
sale of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Companys
5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (the Notes) in an offering (the
Notes Offering) to qualified institutional buyers within the
meaning of Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and to certain non-U.S.
persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S
under the Securities Act.

In the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Guarantor made
customary representations and warranties and agreed to indemnify
the Initial Purchasers against various liabilities, including
certain liabilities with respect to the Companys offering
memorandum relating to the Notes.

Indenture and Notes

The Notes were issued to an indenture dated as of January 25,
2017 (the Indenture) among the Company, the Guarantor and
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the Trustee).
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per annum from and
including January 25, 2017, payable semiannually in arrears on
February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1,
2017. The Notes will mature on February 1, 2024, unless
repurchased or redeemed in accordance with their terms prior to
such date.

The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and are
guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantor.

The Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of the
Notes at any time on or after February 1, 2020 at the redemption
prices specified in the Indenture, together with accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The Company
has the option at any time prior to February 1, 2020, to redeem
some or all of the Notes at a make-whole redemption price
specified in the Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In addition, the
Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes prior to February 1, 2020 under certain circumstances
with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at the
redemption price specified in the Indenture, together with
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

The Indenture contains covenants that limit the Companys and the
Guarantors ability to incur secured debt and to consolidate,
merge or sell substantially all its or the Guarantors assets.
These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations
and exceptions.

The Indenture provides for customary events of default (subject
in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which
include non-payment, breach of covenants in the Indenture,
payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness, a failure
to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy and
insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee
or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
then-outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued
but unpaid interest, if any, including additional interest, if
any, on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Indenture and the Notes are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, the
Indenture and the Notes, copies of which are attached hereto as
Exhibit 1.1, Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, each of
which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and
may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.

an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a
Registrant.

previously announced Notes Offering. A copy of the press release
is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by
reference herein.
