After filing for bankruptcy protection in April with $16.1 billion in liabilities, Sunedison Inc (OTCMKTS:SUNEQ) has engaged itself in a serious discussion with one of its yieldcos, TerraForm Global Inc (NASDAQ:GLBL). The world’s biggest renewable-energy developer is seeking to enjoin TerraForm Global in the sale of its Class B shares. However, it has not established any selling process of its controlling stakes.
Apparently, SunEdison seems not to have any plans for TerraForm Power Inc (NASDAQ:TERP) according to Greg Jones, an analyst at Credit Sights Inc. But again it could still be figuring it out given that TerraForm Power whose shares were up 11.1% at $3.61 is bigger. Nevertheless, neither SunEdison, TerraForm Global nor TerraForm Power has made any comments concerning any sales process.
