Greenbacker Renewable Energy Co.: Redemptions Limited to Stockholder Death, Disability

Greenbacker’s board of directors, on September 27, 2023,  sent a letter to shareholders stating it would be suspending redemptions indefinitely to “devote more of our operational cash flow and financing dollars into converting pre-operational projects into operational projects.”

The company noted that “All share repurchase requests received for the third quarter of 2023 and beyond—aside from with respect to death, qualifying disability, or a determination of incompetence—will not be honored, paid, or deemed valid.”

According to its website, Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company (GREC) is a publicly reporting, non-traded limited liability company that acquires and manages income-generating renewable energy and other energy-related businesses. The company filed an amended  Form D to raise capital from investors in 2021. The total offering amount that has purportedly been sold to investors is $988,072,745.

The Trouble with Reg D Private Placements 

The White Law Group is investigating potential claims involving brokerage firms who may have improperly recommended high-risk private placements to investors.  

Investments such as these are typically sold by brokerage firms in exchange for a large up-front commission. High fees can range from 7-10%, as well as additional “due diligence fees” that can range from 1-3%.    

The problem with private placement investments is that they typically involve a high degree of risk. They are also often sold as unregistered securities which lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks or bonds.   

Broker dealers are required to perform adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend. They must ensure that all recommendations are suitable for the investor. Firms that fail to do so, may be held responsible for any losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
