Solar and wind installer SunEdison Inc. said in a regulatory filing that the government’s seeking information about the scrapped Vivint deal and the conduct of a former employee alleged to have committed wrongdoing “in connection with the Vivint termination negotiations,” Bloomberg News reported today. The company was also asked for documents involving “intercompany” transactions with its TerraForm Power Inc. and TerraForm Global Inc. units, the financing of the company’s projects in Uruguay and investigations initiated by its audit committee, the filing shows. The Justice Department’s subpoena comes about three weeks after the deal with Vivint, a takeover that drew the ire of billionaire investor David Tepper, was canceled. Vivint sued SunEdison shortly after, saying its officials had failed to meet financial obligations and work toward consummating the merger. SunEdison auditors had meanwhile started investigations into allegations made by former executives and a current employee about the accuracy of the company’s “anticipated financial position.”
