This Supplemental Notice describes the modifications made to the Settlement as a consequence of the Settlement Modification Agreement, the facts, circumstances, and disputes that gave rise to the Settlement Modification Agreement, the possible consequences of not having reached an agreement concerning modifications to the Settlement and/or the Settlement, as modified, not being approved, the date of the Court hearing regarding the fairness of the Settlement, and what actions you may take.

The Action involves allegations that Defendants violated certain federal securities laws by making misrepresentations or omissions of material fact in the Registration Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with TerraForm Global, Inc.’s IPO of common stock. The Consolidated Second Amended Class Action Complaint alleges that the misstatements or omissions, primarily concerning the finances of TerraForm Global, Inc.’s sponsor SunEdison, Inc., caused the Settlement Class to suffer losses after the truth was revealed.

Defendants have denied and continue to deny each, any and all allegations of wrongdoing, fault, liability or damage whatsoever asserted in the Action. The Settlement shall in no event be construed as, or deemed to be evidence of, liability, fault, wrongdoing, injury or damages, or of any wrongful conduct, acts or omissions on the part of any of the Released Parties, or of any infirmity of any defense, or of any damages to the Plaintiffs or any other Settlement Class Member. The Settlement resolves all of the claims in the Action, as well as certain other claims or potential claims, whether known or unknown.

The time to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class has passed. To exclude yourself from the Settlement, you must have submitted a written request for exclusion from the Settlement Class so that it was received by March 27, 2018.

If you have already submitted a claim, which is deemed to be valid, you do not need to take any further action. If your submitted claim has a deficiency that needs to be cured by the submission of additional information, the Claims Administrator will notify you if the Settlement is approved by the Court. If you did not submit a claim form, you will not receive a payment from the Settlement. However, unless you excluded yourself from the Class, you will not be able to start a lawsuit, continue with a lawsuit, or be part of any other lawsuit against Defendants or the Released Parties about the Released Claims (as defined in the Settlement Stipulation) ever again.

(collapse all)

You object to the Settlement when you wish to remain a Class Member and be subject to the Settlement, but disagree with some aspect of the Settlement. An objection allows your views to be heard in Court, however an objection still allows you to participate in the Settlement.

In contrast, excluding yourself from the proposed Settlement means that you are no longer part of the proposed Settlement and don’t want the Settlement to apply to you even if the Court finally approves it. Once excluded from the proposed Settlement, you lose any right to receive a cash payment from the Settlement or to object to any aspect of the Settlement because the case no longer affects you.

(collapse all)

The proposed Settlement provides for certain Defendants and their insurers to pay forty-eight million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($48,750,000) into a Settlement Fund. The Settlement is subject to Court approval. Also, subject to the Court’s approval, a portion of the Settlement Fund will be used to pay attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of reasonable litigation expenses to Plaintiffs’ Counsel, and any Award to Plaintiffs. A portion of the Settlement Fund also will be used to pay taxes due on interest earned by the Settlement Fund, if necessary, and the costs of the claims administration, including the costs of printing and mailing the Notice, the Supplemental Notice and the costs of publishing notice.

After deductions from the Settlement Fund have been made, the amount remaining (the “Net Settlement Fund”) will be distributed to Settlement Class Members who submit timely, valid claims, according to the Plan of Allocation to be approved by the Court.

Your share of the Net Settlement Fund will or may depend on:

1. the number of valid claims filed and the amounts of those claims;
2. the dates you purchased and sold TerraForm Global, Inc. common stock;
3. the prices of your purchases and sales; and
4. the number of shares of TerraForm Global, Inc. Common Stock you purchased.

At this time it is not yet possible to provide an estimate as to when any payments would be received.

Settlement payments cannot be distributed until after the Court approves the Settlement. Please know however that there may still be appeals if the Settlement is approved and it is always uncertain if and when those appeals would be resolved and resolving them can take time, perhaps more than a year.

Please note that even if no appeals are filed it will take time for the Settlement Administrator to process all of the Claim Forms received and determine the ultimate distribution amounts.

The Court will hold a Settlement Hearing on February 25, 2020, at 11:00 a.m., at the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, 500 Pearl; Street, Courtroom 11D, New York, New York 10007.

The Court appointed Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP as Lead Counsel to represent you and the other Settlement Class Members. There are also additional counsel for Plaintiffs who have worked on the case. You will not be directly charged for these lawyers. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer, you may hire one at your own expense.

Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel, Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP, will file a motion asking the Court at the Settlement Hearing to make an award of attorneys’ fees, on behalf of all Plaintiffs’ Counsel, in an amount not to exceed 25% of the Settlement Amount ($12,187,500). At the same time, Lead Counsel also intends to apply to the Court for reimbursement of litigation expenses paid or incurred of no more than $475,000 and may apply for an Award to Plaintiffs collectively not to exceed $15,000 for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Plaintiffs directly related to their representation of the Settlement Class. The attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of expenses requested will be the only payment to Plaintiffs’ Counsel for their efforts in achieving this Settlement and for their risk in undertaking this representation on a wholly contingent basis. Settlement Class Members are not personally responsible for any such fees or expenses. The Court determines what counsel should receive from the Settlement Fund for fees and reimbursement of expenses and Award to Plaintiffs, and may award less than the amounts requested.

(collapse all)

No. Plaintiffs’ Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. However, you are welcome to attend at your own expense. If you send an objection, you do not have to come to Court to talk about it. As long as you mail your written objection on time, the Court will consider it. You may also pay your own lawyer to attend, but it is not necessary to do so.

Acceptable supporting documentation includes trade confirmations, official monthly, quarterly or year-end broker statements or other account statements to verify purchases, sales or beginning or ending holdings.

Stock certificates may be used to support the amount of shares held at the beginning or end of the class period, but they are not evidence for when and at what price the shares were purchased.

If you no longer have the supporting documentation you should consult with your broker or financial advisor, who may be able to obtain the documents for you. If you cannot locate your supporting documentation and copies are not available, you can ask your broker to write a letter on letterhead detailing purchases, sales and beginning and ending holdings.

You may be required to provide independent supporting documentation to verify your claim. If you need to submit additional documentation, you will be contacted by the Claims Administrator.
