Background

In August 2023, Azure Power Solar Energy Private Limited and Azure Power Energy Ltd (the “Companies” or “Azure”) received a proposal from certain noteholders (“Noteholders”) holding a certain amount of US$350,101,000 5.65% Senior Notes due 2024 issued by Azure Power Solar Energy Private Limited (the “2024 Notes”) and US$414,000,000 3.575% Senior Notes due 2026 issued by Azure Power Energy Ltd (the “2026 Notes,” and together with the 2024 Notes, the “Notes”) suggesting that the Companies should consider a consent solicitation in connection with the Notes (the “Consent Solicitation”).

Azure does not believe that it requires any Consent Solicitation in order for it to remain in compliance with its obligations under the Notes but considers that it might be worth undertaking such a transaction.

In this regard, in order to progress discussions with the Noteholders, Azure entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Noteholders, whereby Azure agreed to disclose certain information to the Noteholders, and Azure would cleanse the non-public information by way of an announcement after a specified period, such non-public information to include but not limited to (i) that the Companies and the Noteholders have engaged in discussions concerning the Consent Solicitation, and (ii) certain confidential information which constitute material non-public information which was provided by Azure to the Noteholders. Azure is furnishing the information included in this Report on Form 6-K to satisfy its disclosure obligations under the confidentiality agreement.

Updates Regarding Consent Solicitation

Further to discussions with the Noteholders about the terms of a potential Consent Solicitation, the Companies launched such Consent Solicitation on November 28, 2023.

The terms of the Consent Solicitation include:

Noteholders should refer to the Consent Solicitation Statement for the relevant terms of the Consent Solicitation as well as instructions on how consents may be submitted in respect of the same. A copy of the Consent Solicitation Statement is attached to this Report on Form 6-K as Exhibit 99.1.

In addition, the Companies have provided certain confidential information to the Noteholders with respect to (1) the unaudited financial data of Azure Power Solar Energy Private Limited and the other restricted subsidiaries under the indenture governing the 2024 Notes (“RG-II”), and (2) the unaudited financial data of Azure Power Energy Limited and the other restricted subsidiaries under the indenture governing the 2026 Notes (“RG-III”) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), set forth below.

Investor Update

Azure is also providing certain business and financial updates to investors. A copy of the investor presentation is attached to this Report on Form 6-K as Exhibit 99.2.
