(Title of Class)
This Form 8-B/A is an amendment to the Form 8-B of SDO Parent
Co., Inc. (No. 001- 11439) filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 9, 1995. On December 8, 1995, SDO Parent Co.,
Inc. changed its name to Enova Corporation.
Item 1. General Information
The registrant, Enova Corporation (formerly known as SDO Parent
Co., Inc.), was organized on December 20, 1994 as a corporation
under the laws of the State of California. The registrant's fiscal
year ends on December 31. The registrant has filed two registration
statements on Form S-4 (the "Forms S-4") under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, with respect to the issuance of certain shares of
the registrant's common stock, without par value (Registration Nos.
33-57007 and 33-64743).
Item 2. Transaction of Succession
San Diego Gas & Electric Company, a California corporation
("SDG&E"), formed the registrant for the purpose of creating a
holding company structure. The structure will result from a merger
(the "Merger") of a second-tier subsidiary of SDG&E (San Diego
Merger Company) with and into SDG&E, whereby the registrant, a
first-tier subsidiary of SDG&E (and the parent of San Diego Merger
Company), will become the parent of SDG&E. The transaction is more
fully explained in the proxy statement and prospectus of SDG&E and
the registrant which is included as part of the Form S-4 (No. 33-
57007) and which is an exhibit hereto. The Merger is expected to
become effective at 12:01 a.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on January 1,
1996.
The common stock, without par value, of SDG&E is registered
pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "1934 Act"). In addition, certain classes of SDG&E's
preference stock (cumulative), without par value, and cumulative
preferred stock, $20 par value, are registered pursuant to Section
12(b) of the 1934 Act (and will remain so registered despite the
Merger). As a result of the Merger, the registrant will become the
successor registrant to SDG&E's registration of SDG&E common stock,
without par value. The Merger will cause shares of SDG&E's common
stock, without par value, to be converted, on a share-for-share
basis, into shares of the registrant's common stock, without par
value. Issued and outstanding shares of SDG&E's preference stock
(cumulative), without par value, and cumulative preferred stock, $20
par value, will remain outstanding and be unaffected by the Merger.
Item 3. Securities to be Registered
The registrant is authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of the
registrant's common stock, without par value. Upon the
2
Merger, approximately 116,583,358 shares of the registrant's common
stock, without par value, will be issued and outstanding, none of
which will be held by or for the account of the registrant.
Item 4. Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered
The registrant's common stock, without par value, is described
in the proxy statement and prospectus of SDG&E and the registrant
which is included as part of the Form S-4 (No. 33-57007) and which
is an exhibit hereto. The section entitled "Item No. 2 - Formation
of a Holding Company -- Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of
ParentCo" is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5. Financial Statements and Exhibits
Financial Statements. With reference to holders of the
registrant's common stock, without par value, the capital structure
and balance sheet of the registrant immediately after the Merger
will be substantially the same as those of SDG&E immediately prior
to the Merger. Accordingly, no financial statements are filed with
this registration statement.

RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Enova Corporation.
SECOND: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act
or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General
Corporation Law of California other than the banking business, the
trust company business or the practice of a profession permitted to be
incorporated by the California Corporations Code.
THIRD: Stock.
A. The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of
shares, to be designated respectively Preferred Stock ("Preferred

300,000,000 shall be Common Stock.
B. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one

or any of the shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and
to fix the designation and number of shares and to determine or alter
for each such series, such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting
powers, and such designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other rights and such qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed
in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors
providing for the issue of such shares and as may be permitted by the
General Corporation Law of California. The Board of Directors is also
expressly authorized to increase or decrease (but not below the number
of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any
series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series. If the
number of shares of any such series shall be so decreased, the shares
constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior
to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of
shares of such series.
FOURTH: Directors.
A. The authorized number of directors of the Corporation
shall not be fewer than nine (9) nor more than thirteen (13). The
exact authorized number of directors shall be fixed from time to time,
within the limits specified in this Article FOURTH, by resolution of
the Board of Directors, or by a bylaw or amendment thereof duly adopted
by the Board of Directors or the affirmative vote of the holders of
shares representing at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of the
Corporation entitled to vote.
B. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three
classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III, as nearly equal

elected and shall qualify or until his or her earlier resignation,
removal from office, death or incapacity. Additional directorships
resulting from an increase in number of directors shall be apportioned
among the classes as equally as possible. The initial terms of office
shall be determined by resolution duly adopted by the Board of
Directors. At each annual meeting of shareholders the number of
directors equal to the number of directors of the class whose term
expires at the time of such meeting (or, if fewer, the number of
directors properly nominated and qualified for election) shall be
elected to hold office until the third succeeding annual meeting of
shareholders after their election. This Paragraph B of this Article
FOURTH shall become effective only when the Corporation shall have
become a "listed corporation" within the meaning of section 301.5 of
the California Corporations Code.

This Article FIFTH shall become effective only when the Corporation
shall have become a "listed corporation" within the meaning of section
301.5 of the California Corporations Code.

this Article SIXTH in any particular circumstance, any action required
or permitted to be taken by shareholders of the Corporation must be
taken either (i) at a duly called annual or special meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation or (ii) by the unanimous written
consent of all of the shareholders.

fulfilled, any agreement, contract, transaction or other arrangement
providing for or resulting in a Business Combination must be approved
by the affirmative vote of 66-2/3% of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding at the time voting as a separate class. Such
affirmative vote shall be required notwithstanding the fact that no
vote may be required by law or these Articles or that a lesser
percentage, different or additional vote may be specified by law, these
Articles, or in any agreement with any national securities exchange or
otherwise, in which case each vote requirement shall be satisfied
individually.

Business Combination if the conditions specified in either Subsection
1 or 2 below are met.

rate of dividends, if any, paid on common shares (such rate

unless such reduction is approved by 66-2/3% of the
authorized number of directors of the Corporation; and

reasonable doubt as to the rights of the persons
seeking such transfer, the Corporation, or its

ARTICLE SEVEN
Indemnification of Agents of the Corporation
Section 1 Definitions. For the purposes of
this Article Seven, "agent" means any person who (i)
is or was a Director, officer, employee or other agent
of the Corporation, (ii) is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another foreign or domestic
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise or (iii) was a director, officer,
employee or agent of a foreign or domestic corporation
which was a predecessor corporation of the Corporation
or of another enterprise at the request of such
predecessor corporation; "proceeding" means any
threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative; and "expenses" includes, without
limitation, attorneys' fees
5
and any expenses of establishing a right to
indemnification under Sections 4 or 5(c) of this
Article Seven.
Section 2 Indemnification for Third Party
Actions. The Corporation shall have the power to
indemnify any person who is or was a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to any proceeding
(other than an action by or in the right of the
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent
of the Corporation against expenses, judgments, fines,
settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with such proceeding if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
Corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such
person was unlawful. The termination of any
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the
person did not act in good faith and in a manner which
the person reasonably believed to be in the best
interests of the Corporation or that the person had
reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct
was unlawful.
Section 3 Indemnification for Derivative
Actions. The Corporation shall have the power to
indemnify any person who is or was a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to any threatened,
pending or completed action by or in the right of the
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent
of the Corporation against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
the defense or settlement of such action if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
believed to be in the best interests of the
Corporation and its Shareholders. No indemnification
shall be made under this Section 3:
(a) In respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the Corporation in the performance of such
person's duty to the Corporation and its
Shareholders, unless and only to the extent that the
court in which such proceeding is or was pending shall
determine upon application that, in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses and
then only to the extent that the court shall
determine; or
(b) Of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing
of a pending action without court approval; or
(c) Of expenses incurred in defending a pending action
which is settled or otherwise disposed of without court
approval.
Section 4. Successful Defense.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article,
to the extent that an agent of the Corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise (including the
dismissal of an action without prejudice or the
settlement of a proceeding or action without admission
of liability) in defense of any proceeding referred to
in Sections 2 or 3 of this Article, or in defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection
therewith.
Section 5 Discretionary Indemnification. Except
as provided in Section 4 of this Article Seven, any
indemnification under Section 3 hereof shall be made by
the Corporation only if authorized in the specific
case, upon a determination that indemnification of the
agent is proper in the circumstances because the agent
has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth
in Section 3, by:
(a) A majority vote of a quorum consisting of
Directors who are not parties to such proceeding;
(b) If such a quorum of Directors is not obtainable,
by independent legal counsel in a written opinion;
6
(c) Approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the shares of this Corporation represented and voting
at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present
(which shares voting affirmatively also constitute at
least a majority of the required quorum) or by the
written consent of holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares which would be entitled to vote at
such meeting and, for such purpose, the shares owned by
the person to be indemnified shall not be considered
outstanding or entitled to vote; or
(d) The court in which such proceeding is or was
pending, upon application made by the Corporation, the
agent or the attorney or other person rendering
services in connection with the defense, whether or
not such application by said agent, attorney or other
person is opposed by the Corporation.
Section 6 Advancement of Expenses. Expenses
incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced
by the Corporation prior to the final disposition of
such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or
on behalf of the agent to repay such amount if it
shall be determined ultimately that the agent is not
entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this
Article Seven.
Section 7 Restriction on Indemnification. No
indemnification or advance shall be made under this
Article Seven, except as provided in Sections 4 and 6
hereof, in any circumstance where it appears:
(a) That it would be inconsistent with a provision of
the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, its
bylaws, a resolution of the Shareholders or an
agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the
alleged cause of action asserted in the proceeding in
which the expenses were incurred or other amounts
were paid which prohibits or otherwise limits
indemnification; or
(b) That it would be inconsistent with any condition
expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.
Section 8 Non-Exclusive. In the absence of
any other basis for indemnification of an agent, the
Corporation can indemnify such agent pursuant to this
Article Seven. The indemnification provided by this
Article Seven shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which those seeking indemnification may
be entitled under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote
of Shareholders or disinterested Directors or
otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity
and as to action in another capacity while holding
such office. The rights to indemnification under this
Article Seven shall continue as to a person who has
ceased to be a Director, officer, employee, or agent
and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors,
and administrators of the person. Nothing contained
in this Section 8 shall affect any right to
indemnification to which persons other than such
Directors and officers may be entitled by contract or
otherwise.
Section 9 Expenses as a Witness. To the
extent that any agent of the Corporation is by reason
of such position, or a position with another entity at
the request of the Corporation, a witness in any
action, suit or proceeding, he or she shall be
indemnified against all costs and expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her
behalf in connection therewith.
Section 10 Insurance. The Board may purchase
and maintain directors and officers liability
insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any
Director, officer or other named or specified agent of
the Corporation or another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any
expense, liability or loss asserted against or
incurred by the agent in such capacity or arising out
of the agent's status as such, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify the
agent against such expense, liability or loss under the
provisions of this Article Seven or under California
Law.
7
Section 11 Separability. Each and every
paragraph, sentence, term and provision of this
Article Seven is separate and distinct so that if any
paragraph, sentence, term or provision hereof shall be
held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason,
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect
the validity or unenforceability of any other
paragraph, sentence, term or provision hereof. To the
extent required, any paragraph, sentence, term or
provision of this Article may be modified by a court
of competent jurisdiction to preserve its validity and
to provide the claimant with, subject to the
limitations set forth in this Article and any
agreement between the Corporation and claimant, the
broadest possible indemnification permitted under
applicable law. If this Article Seven or any portion
hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court
of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall
nevertheless have the power to indemnify each Director,
officer, employee, or other agent against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action,
suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil,
criminal or administrative, and whether internal or
external, including a grand jury proceeding and
including an action or suit brought by or in the right
of the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by
any applicable portion of this Article Seven that
shall not have been invalidated or by any other
applicable law.
Section 12 Agreements. Upon, and in the event
of, a determination of the Board to do so, the
Corporation is authorized to enter into indemnification
agreements with some or all of its Directors,
officers, employees and other agents providing for
indemnification to the fullest extent permissible under
California law and the Corporation's Articles of
Incorporation.
Section 13 Retroactive Appeal. In the event
this Article Seven is repealed or modified so as to
reduce the protection afforded herein, the
indemnification provided by this Article shall remain
in full force and effect with respect to any act or
omission occurring prior to such repeal or
modification.
ARTICLE EIGHT

promissory notes, checks, drafts, bills of exchange,

agents, of the Corporation and in such manner as, from
time to time, shall be determined by the Board.
