Item 8.01. Other Events.
Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company LLC (the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors on August 11, 2020 approved the June 30, 2020 net asset value per share for the Company’s Class A and I shares of common stock of $8.63, respectively, representing an increase of $0.04 per share from the prior quarter-end’s valuation. In addition, the Board of Directors approved the June 30, 2020 net asset value per share for the Company’s Class C shares of common stock of $8.38, representing a decrease of $0.03 per share from the prior quarter-end’s valuation. The difference in the performance of the Class A and I shares from the Class C shares is due exclusively to the accrual of projected distribution fees, as required by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company’s Board of Directors also authorized cash distributions payable on October 1, 2020, November 2, 2020, and December 1, 2020 to shareholders of record as of September 30, October 30, 2020, and November 30, 2020, respectively, equating to an annualized distribution rate of 6.42% for Class A and Class I shares, and an annualized distribution rate of 6.48% for Class C shares.
