On February 26, 2020, Pattern Energy Group Inc. stated that it sets the record straight regarding Water Island Capital, LLC's assertions and mischaracterizations as false on Pattern Energy's transaction with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. The Company views that the lawsuit brought by Water Island is frivolous, entirely without merit and is being done as a PR stunt. Further, the Company's Board continued to urge stockholders to vote 'for' the transaction with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
