Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On May 15, 2017, TerraForm Global, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from a Senior Director of Nasdaq Listing Qualifications (the “Notification Letter”). The Notification Letter stated that because the Company has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2017 (the “1Q17 10-Q”), this serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq Stock Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely filing of periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As previously disclosed, on March 20, 2017, a Nasdaq Hearings Panel granted a request from the Company for an extension until June 30, 2017 in order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements with respect to its delayed Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, the 1Q17 10-Q and its delinquency in holding its annual meeting of stockholders during the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company continues to work to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements as soon as practicable. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements on or before June 30, 2017 or that the Company will be granted any additional extensions to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 16, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the receipt of the Notification Letter. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the press release is deemed to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information and Exhibit be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. Except for historical information contained in this Form 8-K and the press release attached as an exhibit hereto, this Form 8-K and the press release contain forward-looking statements which involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements.
