The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of 8point3 Energy Partners LP breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ: CAFD investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.

On February 5, 2018, 8point3 Energy Partners LP (NASDAQ:CAFD) announced it has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Purchase Agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with CD Clean Energy and Infrastructure V JV, LLC, an investment fund managed by Capital Dynamics, Inc., and certain other co-investors (collectively, "Capital Dynamics"), pursuant to which Capital Dynamics will acquire 8point3 through an acquisition of 8point3 General Partner, LLC (the "General Partner"), the general partner of the Partnership (such transaction, the "GP Transfer"), all of the outstanding Class A shares in the Partnership and all of the outstanding common and subordinated units and incentive distribution rights in 8point3 Operating Company, LLC ("OpCo"), the Partnership's operating company (the "Proposed Transactions").
