Sachin Shah
CEO, Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.
Lastly, in January, we announced a non-binding all share proposal to acquire the outstanding shares of Terraform Power, other than the 62% owned by us and our institutional
partners. We believe this transaction will create significant value for investors in both companies by simplifying our corporate structure in an immediately accretive transaction which will further strengthen Brookfield Renewable’s position as one of
the largest public pure-play renewable power companies in the world.

Wyatt Hartley
CFO, Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.
Really, the TERP transaction should be thought of separate and really was about simplifying the structure between BEP and TERP. It is really just trading the TERP public
shares for BEP public shares. ... And that the strategy around the proposal for TERP was really around simplifying that structure and just moving those TERP shareholders up into the BEP structure.
