Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed, 8point3 Operating Company, LLC (“OpCo”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of 8point3 Energy Partners LP (the “Partnership”), and First Solar, Inc. (“First Solar”) entered into the Right of First Offer Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2015 (the “ROFO Agreement”), pursuant to which First Solar granted to OpCo a right of first offer to purchase certain solar energy generating facilities for a period of five years, including the 40 MW Cuyama facility in Cuyama, California (the “Cuyama Project”). The Partnership has also previously disclosed that OpCo waived the 45-day negotiation period under the ROFO Agreement with respect to the Cuyama Project and that, following such waiver, First Solar had entered into an agreement to sell its interest in the Cuyama Project to a third party.
On August 17, 2017, it was announced that such sale has closed. As such, OpCo no longer has the ability to acquire such interest in the Cuyama Project or its related assets.
