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

On September 9, 2016, TerraForm Global, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from a Director of Nasdaq Listing Qualifications (the “Notification Letter”). The Notification Letter stated that due to the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Filing Rule”), which requires timely filing of periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company would be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Select Market at the opening of business on September 20, 2016 unless the Company requests a hearing on the determination by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 16, 2016. As previously disclosed, the Company has not filed its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2016 or its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2016 (collectively, the “Delayed Filings”).

On September 9, 2016, the Company requested a hearing and also requested a stay of the delisting, pending the hearing. Because of this request, the delisting of the Company's common stock will automatically be stayed for at least 15 calendar days. If the hearings panel grants the Company’s request for a stay, it can postpone any delisting action until the panel’s determination following the hearing. Hearings are typically scheduled to occur approximately 30-45 days after the date of the hearing request. At the hearing, the Company plans to present its plan to regain compliance with the Filing Rule and to request the continued listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pending such compliance. There can be no assurance that the panel will grant the Company's requests.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 9, 2016, 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.
