FORM 8-K Item 5. Other Events The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued its decision in the Performance-Based Rates (PBR) proceeding for Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas). Pacific Enterprises, the parent of SoCalGas, and the registrants, previously announced a merger that is awaiting regulatory approval. SoCalGas has been operating under traditional "cost of service" regulation. PBR is a more competitive-oriented rate-setting mechanism that provides incentives for cost control and efficiency improvement, including comparisons of productivity and other factors against benchmarks based on industry performance or on past results. Pacific Enterprises has stated that the PBR provides for, among other things, a net rate reduction of $160 million. Registrants are analyzing the decision to determine the effect on Pacific Enterprises and on the new company which will result from the pending merger. Pacific Enterprises' Form 8-K concerning the PBR decision is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 99.1. Item 7.
