Pattern Energy Group Inc. (NasdaqGS:PEGI), has “drawn interest” from potential takeover suitors, according to a statement. "No agreement or arrangement for any transaction has been reached," company said in the statement, confirming an earlier report in Bloomberg News. "Pattern Energy has a track record of regularly assessing various types of transactions that may be in the best interests of Pattern Energy and its shareholders." Pattern Energy is working with a financial adviser after drawing interest from suitors including Brookfield Asset Management Inc., which has floated the idea of merging the company with TerraForm Power Inc., according to people familiar with the matter, who asked to not be identified because the matter isn't public.

Talks are ongoing, no decision has been made and the company could opt to remain independent, the people said.
