Appaloosa Management LP and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (BAM, BAM.A.T) are considering a joint bid for SunEdison Inc.'s stake in yieldco Terraform Power Inc.

Terraform said in a regulatory filing Friday that Appaloosa and Brookfield met on Monday and signed a "letter agreement" on Friday.

Appaloosa and Brookfield jointly have aggregate economic exposure to 34.4% of Terraform's Class A share, according to the filing.

Brookfield disclosed a nearly 25% stake, including derivatives, in the noncontrol shares of TerraForm late last month.

The letter agreement indicates Appaloosa and Brookfield plan to enter a definitive pact to bid for SunEdison's shares of Terraform, but aren't obligated to do so.

SunEdison filed for bankruptcy in April. It grew rapidly and had a market value that approached $10 billion in 2015, but its debt-fueled expansion was hurt by falling oil prices and turbulence in capital markets.

Part of its strategy involved the formation of two yieldcos, Terraform Power and TerraForm Global Inc.
