NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BEP
The information in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on BEP’s historical consolidated financial statements. The information in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Income and Loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019 gives effect to the BEP Transactions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2019.
On July 30, 2020, BEP completed the “special distribution” whereby BEP unitholders as of July 27, 2020 received one BEPC exchangeable share for every four BEP units held. Immediately prior to the special distribution, BEP received BEPC exchangeable shares through a distribution by Brookfield Renewable Energy L.P. (“BRELP”), or the BRELP Distribution, of the BEPC exchangeable shares to all the holders of its equity units. As a result of the BRELP Distribution, (i) Brookfield and its subsidiaries (other than entities within BEP) received approximately 33.1 million BEPC exchangeable shares and (ii) Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. received approximately 44.7 million BEPC exchangeable shares, which it subsequently distributed to its BEP unitholders, including Brookfield, pursuant to the special distribution.
At any time, holders of BEPC exchangeable shares have the right to exchange all or a portion of their shares for one BEP unit per exchangeable share held or its cash equivalent based on the NYSE closing price of one BEP unit on the date that the request for exchange is received, on a fixed-for-fixed basis. BEP has the ability to elect to satisfy the exchange of the exchangeable shares for BEP units or its cash equivalent when the exchange is requested by the shareholder. Additionally, BEPC and BEP have the ability to redeem all BEPC exchangeable shares for BEP units at its election, on a fixed-for-fixed basis.
As a result of the share characteristics, BEPC exchangeable shares have been classified as non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements of BEP.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements give effect special distribution and the BRELP Distribution as if they had occurred on January 1, 2019.
(3) | TERRAFORM POWER ACQUISITION |
On July 31, 2020, following the special distribution, BEP completed the TerraForm Power acquisition, pursuant to which BEP and BEPC acquired all of the Class A common stock of TerraForm Power (“TERP shares”) held by the public in exchange for 4,034,469 BEP units and 37,035,241 BEPC exchangeable shares.
Simultaneously with the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition, BEP entered into voting agreements with certain indirect subsidiaries of Brookfield to transfer the power to vote their respective shares held in TerraForm Power to BEP. As a result, the company controls and consolidates TerraForm Power. The transfer of control of TerraForm Power to BEP is considered to be a transaction between entities under common control and was valued based on Brookfield’s carrying value in TerraForm Power. The results of TerraForm Power that were not owned by Brookfield Renewable are presented as non-controlling interests to BEP retrospectively to October 17, 2017 in the consolidated financial statements of BEP, corresponding to all historical periods that TerraForm Power was under common control.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements give effect to the TerraForm Power acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2019.
(4) | BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER BEP UNIT |
The historical basic and diluted loss per BEP unit reported in the consolidated financial statements of BEP was retrospectively adjusted to give effect to the special distribution.
