The following is an excerpt from the Q1 2020 letter of Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. to its unitholders, dated May 6, 2020.


We recently agreed to merge our subsidiary, TerraForm Power (“TERP”), into Brookfield Renewable, on an all stock basis.1 The merger will simplify our structure, diversify our holdings, and strengthen our business in North America and Europe. It will increase our public float of shares by approximately $1.5 billion and will facilitate the issuance of
Brookfield Renewable Corporation (“BEPC”) shares, which should help current shareholders who may prefer to hold a C-Corp share and potentially attract new shareholders.



1 The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the non-waivable approval of TERP shareholders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of TERP Class A common stock not owned by Brookfield Renewable and its affiliates.
