The Wall Street Journal quoted one of the people familiar with the matter as saying that the company might appoint a director from outside hedge funds.
Billionaire investor David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital first disclosed Sunedison's shares in an investor letter in the first quarter of 2014, saying the fund bought shares at an average price of $15. 55/share.
A spokesman for Sunedison declined to comment.
Greenlight Capital was not immediately available for comment. (
