The 2014 annual meeting of members of Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company LLC (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) was held on May 27, 2014. The following matters were voted on by the members: the re-election of the members of the Company’s board of directors and the approval of certain proposed amendments to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Company (filed as Exhibit 3.2 of the Registrant’s Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-178786-01) filed on October 9, 2013) (the “Operating Agreement”).

The vote with respect to the re-election of the members of the Company’s board of directors is set forth below:

Each candidate for re-election received the required number of votes for re-election to the board of the Company, to serve until their respective successors are elected and qualified. The Registrant did not solicit proxies and the board of directors as previously reported to the Securties and Exchange Commission was re-elected in its entirety.

The vote with respect to certain proposed amendments to the Operating Agreement is set forth below:

The proposed amendments were to clarify that members may take any action under the Operating Agreement by written consent and such consent will be adopted if it is approved by members having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

The proposed amendments received an affirmative vote by the holders of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote at the annual meeting of members. Such changes are approved for inclusion in an amended and restated, or otherwise amended or modified version of the Operating Agreement.
