MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo., Dec. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SunEdison, Inc.  (the "Company") (NYSE: SUNE) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Seller Note, LLC, entered into an agreement to extinguish all of its outstanding $336 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Guaranteed Exchangeable Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the "Exchangeable Notes").  In return for extinguishing the Exchangeable Notes,  noteholders will receive consideration in the form of SunEdison's membership equity interest in certain under development renewable energy assets as well as a specified number of Class A shares of TerraForm Power, Inc.
