▪failure of foreign governments, state-owned entities and our counterparties to honor their contracts and commitments
▪the impact on affordability of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ customer rates and their cost of capital and on SDG&E’s, SoCalGas’ and Sempra Infrastructure’s ability to pass through higher costs to customers due to (i) volatility in inflation, interest rates and commodity prices, (ii) with respect to SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ businesses, the cost of the clean energy transition in California, and (iii) with respect to Sempra Infrastructure’s business, volatility in foreign currency exchange rates
▪the impact of climate and sustainability policies, laws, rules, regulations, disclosures and trends, including actions to reduce or eliminate reliance on natural gas, increased uncertainty in the political or regulatory environment for California natural gas distribution companies, the risk of nonrecovery for stranded assets, and our ability to incorporate new technologies
▪weather, natural disasters, pandemics, accidents, equipment failures, explosions, terrorism, information system outages or other events that disrupt our operations, damage our facilities or systems, cause the release of harmful materials or fires or subject us to liability for damages, fines and penalties, some of which may not be recoverable through regulatory mechanisms or insurance or may impact our ability to obtain satisfactory levels of affordable insurance

▪Oncor’s ability to reduce or eliminate its quarterly dividends due to regulatory and governance requirements and commitments, including by actions of Oncor’s independent directors or a minority member director

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
Sempra
Effective May 12, 2023, our company changed its legal name from Sempra Energy to Sempra. Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Sempra, a California-based holding company, and its consolidated entities. We have four separate reportable segments, which we discuss in Note 11. All references in these Notes to our reportable segments are not intended to refer to any legal entity with the same or similar name.
SDG&E
SDG&E’s common stock is wholly owned by Enova Corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra.
SoCalGas
SoCalGas’ common stock is wholly owned by Pacific Enterprises, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This is a combined report of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas. We provide separate information for SDG&E and SoCalGas as required. We have eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions within Sempra’s consolidated financial statements.
We have prepared our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and in accordance with the interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q and applicable rules of the SEC. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These adjustments are only of a normal, recurring nature. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year or for any other period. We evaluated events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 2023 through the date the financial statements were issued and, in the opinion of management, the accompanying statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation.
All December 31, 2022 balance sheet information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been derived from our audited 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the interim period reporting provisions of U.S. GAAP and the SEC.
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report and the impact of the adoption of new accounting standards on those policies in Note 2 below. We follow the same accounting policies for interim period reporting purposes.
The information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.
Regulated Operations
SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra Infrastructure’s natural gas distribution utility, Ecogas, prepare their financial statements in accordance with the provisions of U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations. We discuss revenue recognition and the effects of regulation at our utilities in Notes 3 and 4 below and in Notes 1, 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Our Sempra Texas Utilities segment is comprised of our equity method investments in holding companies that own interests in regulated electric transmission and distribution utilities in Texas.
Certain business activities at Sempra Infrastructure are regulated by the CRE and the FERC and meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP. Pipeline projects currently under construction that meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP record the impact of AFUDC related to equity. We discuss AFUDC below and in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Restricted cash includes:
▪for Sempra Infrastructure, funds held as collateral in lieu of a customer’s letters of credit associated with its LNG storage and regasification agreement; funds denominated in U.S. dollars and Mexican pesos to pay for rights-of-way and other costs pursuant to trust agreements related to pipeline projects; and certain funds at Port Arthur LNG for which withdrawals and usage are dictated by its debt agreements
▪for Parent and other, funds held in a delisting trust for the purpose of purchasing the remaining publicly owned IEnova shares
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the sum of such amounts reported on Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

CREDIT LOSSES
We are exposed to credit losses from financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other accounts receivable, amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates, our net investment in sales-type leases and a note receivable. We are also exposed to credit losses from off-balance sheet arrangements through Sempra’s guarantee related to Cameron LNG JV’s SDSRA, which we discuss in Note 5.
We regularly monitor and evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses, if necessary, for trade and other accounts receivable using a combination of factors, including past-due status based on contractual terms, trends in write-offs, the age of the receivables and customer payment patterns, historical and industry trends, counterparty creditworthiness, economic conditions and specific events, such as bankruptcies, pandemics and other factors. We write off financial assets measured at amortized cost in the period in which we determine they are not recoverable. We record recoveries of amounts previously written off when it is known that they will be recovered.
In the first quarter of 2022, SDG&E and SoCalGas received $63 million and $79 million, respectively, on behalf of their customers from the California Department of Community Services and Development under the 2021 California Arrearage Payment Program and applied the amounts directly to eligible customer accounts to reduce past due balances. In June 2022, AB 205 was approved establishing, among other things, the 2022 California Arrearage Payment Program. In December 2022, SDG&E and SoCalGas received funding of $51 million and $59 million, respectively, related to this program and, in January 2023, applied the amounts directly to eligible customer accounts to reduce past due balances.
As a result of the impact and duration of suspending collections processes during the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation of programs such as the Arrearage Management Plan, and higher winter season customer billings, certain SDG&E and SoCalGas customers exhibit slower payment and higher levels of nonpayment than has been the case historically. This in turn has resulted in an increase in provisions for expected credit losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 for both companies, even as collections processes resume and past due payments potentially begin increasing. SDG&E and SoCalGas have regulatory mechanisms to recover credit losses and thus record changes in the allowances for credit losses related to Accounts Receivable – Trade that are probable of recovery in regulatory accounts. We discuss regulatory accounts in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report and herein.
Changes in allowances for credit losses for trade receivables and other receivables are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |

As we discuss below in “Note Receivable,” we have an interest-bearing promissory note due from KKR Pinnacle. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses on this note receivable, including compounded interest and unamortized transaction costs, based on published default rate studies, the maturity date of the instrument and an internally developed credit rating. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $6 million and $7 million, respectively, of expected credit losses are included in Other Long-Term Assets on Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As we discuss in Note 5, Sempra provided a guarantee for the benefit of Cameron LNG JV related to amounts withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate credit losses and record liabilities for expected credit losses on this off-balance sheet arrangement based on external credit ratings, published default rate studies and the maturity date of the arrangement. At both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $6 million of expected credit losses are included in Deferred Credits and Other on Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE RECEIVABLE
In November 2021, Sempra loaned $300 million to KKR Pinnacle in exchange for an interest-bearing promissory note that is due in full no later than October 2029 and bears compound interest at 5% per annum, which may be paid quarterly or added to the outstanding principal at the election of KKR Pinnacle. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Other Long-Term Assets includes $328 million and $316 million, respectively, of outstanding principal, compounded interest and unamortized transaction costs, net of allowance for credit losses, on Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
WILDFIRE FUND
In July 2019, the Wildfire Legislation was signed into law to address certain issues related to catastrophic wildfires in the State of California and their impact on electric IOUs. We discuss the Wildfire Legislation further in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
In October 2023, the OEIS approved SDG&E’s 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan, which is effective until the OEIS approves a new plan.
SDG&E submitted its request to the OEIS for its annual wildfire safety certification in September 2023. OEIS has until December 2023 to issue the certification or provide written notice explaining why additional time is needed. SDG&E’s existing certification remains valid until this pending request is resolved.
CAPITALIZED FINANCING COSTS
Capitalized financing costs include capitalized interest costs and AFUDC related to both debt and equity financing of construction projects. We capitalize interest costs incurred to finance capital projects and interest at equity method investments that have not commenced planned principal operations.
The table below summarizes capitalized financing costs, comprised of AFUDC and capitalized interest.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Sempra Infrastructure’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two segments, the Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment and the Guaymas-El Oro segment. Each segment has its own service agreement with the CFE. Following the start of commercial operations of the Guaymas-El Oro segment, Sempra Infrastructure reported damage to the pipeline in the Yaqui territory that has made that section inoperable since August 2017. Discussions with the CFE regarding the future of the pipeline are ongoing and the parties are working on restarting service on the pipeline, including the potential re-routing of a portion of the pipeline. If the parties do not agree on a definitive arrangement to re-route a portion of the pipeline or the parties do not agree on a new service start date, Sempra Infrastructure retains the right to terminate the contract and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profits. At September 30, 2023, Sempra Infrastructure had $411 million in PP&E, net, related to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline.
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We consolidate a VIE if we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary is based on qualitative and quantitative analyses, which assess:
▪the purpose and design of the VIE;
▪the nature of the VIE’s risks and the risks we absorb;
▪the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and
▪the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.
We will continue to evaluate our VIEs for any changes that may impact our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and if we are the primary beneficiary.
SDG&E
SDG&E’s power procurement is subject to reliability requirements that may require SDG&E to enter into various PPAs that include variable interests. SDG&E evaluates the respective entities to determine if variable interests exist and, based on the qualitative and quantitative analyses described above, if SDG&E, and indirectly Sempra, is the primary beneficiary.
SDG&E has agreements under which it purchases power generated by facilities for which it supplies all of the natural gas to fuel the power plant (i.e., tolling agreements). SDG&E’s obligation to absorb natural gas costs may be a significant variable interest. In addition, SDG&E has the power to direct the dispatch of electricity generated by these facilities. Based on our analysis, the ability to direct the dispatch of electricity may have the most significant impact on the economic performance of the entity owning the generating facility because of the associated exposure to the cost of natural gas, which fuels the plants, and the value of electricity produced. To the extent that SDG&E (1) is obligated to purchase and provide fuel to operate the facility, (2) has the power to direct the dispatch, and (3) purchases all of the output from the facility for a substantial portion of the facility’s useful life, SDG&E may be the primary beneficiary of the entity owning the generating facility. SDG&E determines if it is the primary beneficiary in these cases based on a qualitative approach in which it considers the operational characteristics of the facility, including its expected power generation output relative to its capacity to generate and the financial structure of the entity, among other factors. If SDG&E determines that it is the primary beneficiary, SDG&E and Sempra consolidate the entity that owns the facility as a VIE.
In addition to tolling agreements, other variable interests involve various elements of fuel and power costs, and other components of cash flows expected to be paid to or received by our counterparties. In most of these cases, the expectation of variability is not substantial, and SDG&E generally does not have the power to direct activities, including the operation and maintenance activities of the generating facility, that most significantly impact the economic performance of the other VIEs. If our ongoing evaluation of these VIEs were to conclude that SDG&E becomes the primary beneficiary and consolidation by SDG&E becomes necessary, the effects could be significant to the financial position and liquidity of SDG&E and Sempra.
SDG&E determined that none of its PPAs and tolling agreements resulted in SDG&E being the primary beneficiary of a VIE at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. PPAs and tolling agreements that relate to SDG&E’s involvement with VIEs are primarily accounted for as finance leases. The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities under these contracts are included in PP&E, net, and finance lease liabilities with balances of $1,174 million and $1,194 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. SDG&E recovers costs incurred on PPAs, tolling agreements and other variable interests through CPUC-approved long-term power procurement plans. SDG&E has no residual interest in the respective entities and has not provided or guaranteed any debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements, performance guarantees or other commitments associated with these contracts other than the purchase commitments described in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. As a result, SDG&E’s potential exposure to loss from its variable interest in these VIEs is not significant.
Sempra Texas Utilities
Oncor Holdings is a VIE. Sempra is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because of the structural and operational ring-fencing and governance measures in place that prevent us from having the power to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings. As a result, we do not consolidate Oncor Holdings and instead account for our ownership interest as an equity method investment. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for additional information about our equity method investment in Oncor Holdings and restrictions on our ability to influence its activities. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, from our interest in Oncor Holdings does not exceed the carrying value of our investment, which was $14,148 million and $13,665 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Sempra Infrastructure
Cameron LNG JV
Cameron LNG JV is a VIE principally due to contractual provisions that transfer certain risks to customers. Sempra is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of Cameron LNG JV, including LNG production and operation and maintenance activities at the liquefaction facility. Therefore, we account for our investment in Cameron LNG JV under the equity method. The carrying value of our investment, including amounts recognized in AOCI related to interest-rate cash flow hedges at Cameron LNG JV, was $989 million at September 30, 2023 and $886 million at December 31, 2022. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, includes the carrying value of our investment and our obligation under the SDSRA, which we discuss in Note 5.
CFIN
As we discuss in Note 5, in July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN, which is a VIE. Sempra is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of CFIN, including modification, prepayment, and refinance decisions related to the financing arrangement with external lenders and Cameron LNG JV’s four project owners as well as the ability to determine and enforce remedies in the event of default. The conditional obligations of the Support Agreement represent a variable interest that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis (see Note 8). Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss under the terms of the Support Agreement is $979 million.
ECA LNG Phase 1
ECA LNG Phase 1 is a VIE because its total equity at risk is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. We expect that ECA LNG Phase 1 will require future capital contributions or other financial support to finance the construction of the facility. Sempra is the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we have the power to direct the activities related to the construction and future operation and maintenance of the liquefaction facility. As a result, we consolidate ECA LNG Phase 1. Sempra consolidated $1,430 million and $1,099 million of assets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, consisting primarily of PP&E, net, attributable to ECA LNG Phase 1 that could be used only to settle obligations of this VIE and that are not available to settle obligations of Sempra, and $924 million and $685 million of liabilities at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, consisting primarily of long-term debt, accounts payable and short-term debt attributable to ECA LNG Phase 1 for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of Sempra. Additionally, as we discuss in Note 6, IEnova and TotalEnergies SE have provided guarantees for 83.4% and 16.6%, respectively, of the loan facility supporting construction of the liquefaction facility.
Port Arthur LNG
Port Arthur LNG is a VIE because its total equity at risk is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. We expect that Port Arthur LNG will require future capital contributions or other financial support to finance the construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. Sempra is the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we have the power to direct the activities related to the construction and future operation and maintenance of the liquefaction facility. As a result, we consolidate Port Arthur LNG. Sempra consolidated $3,830 million of assets at September 30, 2023 consisting primarily of PP&E, net, other long-term assets and restricted cash attributable to Port Arthur LNG that could be used only to settle obligations of this VIE and that are not available to settle obligations of Sempra, and $788 million of liabilities at September 30, 2023 consisting primarily of accounts payable and long-term debt attributable to Port Arthur LNG for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of Sempra.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Sempra Common Stock
On May 12, 2023, Sempra’s shareholders approved an amendment to Sempra’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Sempra’s common stock from 750,000,000 to 1,125,000,000.
Sempra Common Stock Split in the Form of a Stock Dividend
On August 2, 2023, Sempra’s board of directors declared a two-for-one split of Sempra’s common stock in the form of a 100% stock dividend for shareholders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2023. Each such shareholder of record received one additional share of Sempra common stock for every then-held share of Sempra common stock, which was distributed after the close of trading on August 21, 2023. Sempra’s common stock began trading on a post-split basis effective August 22, 2023. Sempra’s common stock continues to have no par value with 1,125,000,000 authorized shares.
All shares and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock and outstanding equity awards with respect to common stock have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split and are presented on a post-split basis herein.
Sempra Common Stock Repurchases
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we repurchased 411,447 shares for $32 million and 404,806 shares for $28 million, respectively, of our common stock from long-term incentive plan participants to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements in connection with the vesting of RSUs and exercise of stock options.
On January 11, 2022, we entered into an ASR program under which we prepaid $200 million to repurchase shares of our common stock in a share forward transaction. A total of 2,945,512 shares were purchased under this program at an average price of $67.90 per share. The total number of shares purchased was determined by dividing the $200 million purchase price by the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average trading prices of shares of our common stock during the valuation period of January 12, 2022 through February 11, 2022, minus a fixed discount. The ASR program was completed on February 11, 2022.
On April 6, 2022, we entered into an ASR program under which we prepaid $250 million to repurchase shares of our common stock in a share forward transaction. A total of 2,943,914 shares were purchased under this program at an average price of $84.92 per share. The total number of shares purchased was determined by dividing the $250 million purchase price by the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average trading prices of shares of our common stock during the valuation period of April 7, 2022 through April 25, 2022, minus a fixed discount. The ASR program was completed on April 25, 2022.

Sempra Infrastructure
Sale of NCI to KKR Denali. In September 2023, an indirect subsidiary of SI Partners completed the sale of an indirect 42% NCI in the PA LNG Phase 1 project to KKR Denali for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $984 million, including its pro rata equity share of development costs incurred prior to the closing that exceeded $439 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. As a result of this sale, we recorded a $1.1 billion increase in equity held by NCI and a decrease in Sempra’s shareholders’ equity of $56 million, including $11 million in transaction costs and net of a $22 million tax benefit.
At the closing of the sale of NCI to KKR Denali, the associated limited liability company agreement was amended and restated to include KKR Denali as a member of such company and to set forth certain governance and other agreements with respect to the funding of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. Pursuant to the limited liability company agreement, (i) the indirect subsidiary of SI Partners (a) is the managing member; (b) exclusively holds the right to make decisions with respect to certain expansions, such as the potential PA LNG Phase 2 project; (c) has certain rights to preferential distributions from specified revenues and expansion true-up payments; and (d) through a parent entity that is a subsidiary of Sempra, bears a disproportionately higher allocation of certain capital contribution commitments in certain budgetary overrun scenarios, and (ii) KKR Denali has certain investor protection voting rights. The indirect subsidiary of SI Partners and KKR Denali have also made capital contribution commitments to fund their respective equity share of the equity funding amount of anticipated development costs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project, except in those certain budget overrun scenarios discussed above.
Upon closing the sale of NCI to KKR Denali, Sempra holds an indirect interest in the PA LNG Phase 1 project of 19.6%.
Sale of NCI to ConocoPhillips Affiliate. In March 2023, an indirect subsidiary of SI Partners completed the sale of an indirect 30% NCI in the PA LNG Phase 1 project to an affiliate of ConocoPhillips for aggregate cash consideration of $254 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. As a result of this sale, we recorded a $234 million increase in equity held by NCI and an increase in Sempra’s shareholders’ equity of $12 million, net of $3 million in transaction costs and $5 million in tax expense.
At the closing of the sale of NCI to the ConocoPhillips affiliate, the associated limited liability company agreement was amended and restated to include the ConocoPhillips affiliate as a member of such company and to set forth certain governance and other agreements with respect to the funding of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. Pursuant to the limited liability company agreement, such company will generally be managed by a board of managers, initially constituting three representatives appointed by the indirect subsidiary of SI Partners and two representatives appointed by the ConocoPhillips affiliate.
The indirect subsidiary of SI Partners and the ConocoPhillips affiliate have made certain customary capital contribution commitments to fund their respective pro rata equity share of the total anticipated capital calls for the equity portion of the anticipated development costs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. In addition, both SI Partners and ConocoPhillips provided guarantees relating to their respective affiliate’s commitment to make its pro rata equity share of capital contributions to fund 110% of the development budget of the PA LNG Phase 1 project, in an aggregate amount of up to $9.0 billion. SI Partners’ guarantee covers 70% of this amount plus enforcement costs of its guarantee.
Sale of NCI to ADIA. In June 2022, Sempra and ADIA consummated the transaction contemplated under a purchase and sale agreement dated December 21, 2021 (the ADIA Purchase Agreement). Pursuant to the ADIA Purchase Agreement, ADIA acquired Class A Units representing a 10% NCI in SI Partners for a purchase price of $1.7 billion. Following the closing of the transaction, Sempra, KKR Pinnacle and ADIA directly or indirectly own 70%, 20%, and 10%, respectively, of the outstanding Class A Units of SI Partners, which excludes the non-voting Sole Risk Interests held only by Sempra. As a result of this sale to ADIA, we recorded a $709 million increase in equity held by NCI and an increase in Sempra’s shareholders’ equity of $710 million, net of $12 million in transaction costs and $300 million in tax impacts. Transaction costs include $10 million paid to ADIA for reimbursement of certain expenses that ADIA incurred in connection with closing the transaction.
Contributions from NCI. In October 2021, KKR Pinnacle acquired a 20% NCI in SI Partners. Under the limited partnership agreement that governs our and KKR Pinnacle’s respective rights and obligations in respect of our and their ownership interests in SI Partners, KKR Pinnacle was entitled to a $200 million credit from Sempra to be applied to capital calls once an LNG project reached a positive final investment decision and met certain projected internal rates of return. In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023, KKR Pinnacle used $14 million and $200 million, respectively, of this credit to fund its share of contributions to SI Partners. As a result, we recorded a $200 million increase in equity held by NCI and a decrease in Sempra’s shareholders’ equity of $145 million, net of a tax benefit.
SEMPRA EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilution of common stock equivalent shares that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

(1) Includes 716 and 803 fully vested RSUs held in our Deferred Compensation Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 716 and 805 of such RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These fully vested RSUs are included in weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic EPS because there are no conditions under which the corresponding shares will not be issued.
(2) Due to market fluctuations of both Sempra common stock and the comparative indices used to determine the vesting percentage of our total shareholder return performance-based RSUs, which we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, dilutive RSUs may vary widely from period-to-period.
The potentially dilutive impact from stock options and RSUs is calculated under the treasury stock method. Under this method, proceeds based on the exercise price and unearned compensation are assumed to be used to repurchase shares on the open market at the average market price for the period, reducing the number of potential new shares to be issued and sometimes causing an antidilutive effect. The computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023 excludes 624,242 and 470,804 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, and the computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 excludes no potentially dilutive shares and 230,752 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, because to include them would be antidilutive for the period. However, these shares could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.
Pursuant to Sempra’s share-based compensation plans, the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of Sempra’s board of directors granted 326,574 nonqualified stock options, 661,620 performance-based RSUs and 272,729 service-based RSUs in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily in January.
We discuss share-based compensation plans and related awards and the terms and conditions of Sempra’s equity securities further in Notes 10, 13 and 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas record income taxes for interim periods utilizing a forecasted ETR anticipated for the full year. Unusual and infrequent items and items that cannot be reliably estimated are recorded in the interim period in which they occur, which can result in variability in the ETR.
For SDG&E and SoCalGas, the CPUC requires flow-through rate-making treatment for the current income tax benefit or expense arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences between the treatment for financial reporting and income tax, which will reverse over time. Under the regulatory accounting treatment required for these flow-through temporary differences, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are not recorded to deferred income tax expense, but rather to a regulatory asset or liability, which impacts the ETR. As a result, changes in the relative size of these items compared to pretax income, from period to period, can cause variations in the ETR. The following items are subject to flow-through treatment:
▪repairs expenditures related to a certain portion of utility plant fixed assets
▪the equity portion of AFUDC, which is non-taxable
▪a portion of the cost of removal of utility plant assets
▪utility self-developed software expenditures
▪depreciation on a certain portion of utility plant assets
▪state income taxes
AFUDC related to equity recorded for regulated construction projects at Sempra Infrastructure has similar flow-through treatment.
Under the IRA, beginning in 2023, the scope of projects eligible for investment tax credits was expanded to include standalone energy storage projects. The IRA also provided an election that prospectively permits investment tax credits related to standalone energy storage projects to be returned to utility customers over a period that is shorter than the life of the applicable asset. Under this election, SDG&E recorded a regulatory liability to offset these investment tax credits, which reduced SDG&E’s and Sempra’s ETR in 2023.
In April 2023, the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2023-15, which provides a safe harbor method of accounting for gas repairs expenditures. As a result of this Revenue Procedure, SoCalGas updated its assessment of prior years’ unrecognized income tax benefits and, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, recorded an income tax benefit of $43 million for previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures. SoCalGas recorded an associated regulatory liability for the portion that will benefit customers in the future. We are assessing the potential future impacts of this Revenue Procedure.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized income tax expense of $120 million for a deferred income tax liability related to outside basis differences in our foreign subsidiaries that we had previously considered to be indefinitely reinvested.

NOTE 4. REGULATORY MATTERS
We discuss regulatory matters in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report and provide updates to those discussions and information about new regulatory matters below. With the exception of regulatory balancing accounts, we generally do not earn a return on our regulatory assets until such time as a related cash expenditure has been made. Upon the occurrence of a cash expenditure associated with a regulatory asset, the related amounts are recoverable through a regulatory account mechanism for which we earn a return authorized by applicable regulators, which generally approximates the three-month commercial paper rate. The periods during which we recognize a regulatory asset while we do not earn a return vary by regulatory asset.

SEMPRA CALIFORNIA
CPUC GRC
The CPUC uses GRCs to set revenues to allow SDG&E and SoCalGas to recover their reasonable operating costs and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investments.
In May 2022, SDG&E and SoCalGas filed their 2024 GRC applications requesting CPUC approval of test year revenue requirements for 2024 and attrition year adjustments for 2025 through 2027. SDG&E and SoCalGas requested revenue requirements for 2024 of $3.0 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively. SDG&E and SoCalGas proposed post-test year revenue requirement changes using various mechanisms that are estimated to result in annual increases of approximately 8% to 11% at SDG&E and approximately 6% to 8% at SoCalGas. Intervening parties have proposed various adjustments to SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ revenue requirement requests. In October 2022, the CPUC issued a scoping ruling that set a schedule for the proceeding, including the expected issuance of a proposed decision in the second quarter of 2024. The CPUC has authorized SDG&E and SoCalGas to recognize the effects of the GRC final decision retroactive to January 1, 2024. In October 2023, SDG&E submitted a separate request with the CPUC in its 2024 GRC describing $2.2 billion in costs to implement its wildfire mitigation plans from 2019 through 2022, and seeking review and recovery of the incremental wildfire mitigation plan costs incurred during that period, totaling $1.5 billion. SDG&E expects to receive a proposed decision on this request in the second half of 2024. SDG&E also expects to submit in mid-2024 a separate request in its 2024 GRC for review and recovery of its wildfire mitigation plan costs incurred in 2023. The results of the GRC may materially and adversely differ from what is contained in the GRC applications.
CPUC Cost of Capital
The CPUC approved the following cost of capital for SDG&E and SoCalGas that became effective on January 1, 2023 and will remain in effect through December 31, 2025, subject to the CCM. The CPUC has issued a ruling to initiate a second phase of this cost of capital proceeding to evaluate potential modifications to the CCM.

SDG&E
FERC Rate Matters
SDG&E files separately with the FERC for its authorized ROE on FERC-regulated electric transmission operations and assets. SDG&E’s currently effective TO5 settlement provides for a ROE of 10.60%, consisting of a base ROE of 10.10% plus an additional 50 bps for participation in the California ISO (the California ISO adder). If the FERC issues an order ruling that California IOUs are no longer eligible for the California ISO adder, SDG&E would refund the California ISO adder as of the refund effective date (June 1, 2019) if such a refund is determined to be required by the terms of the TO5 settlement. The TO5 term is effective June 1, 2019 and shall remain in effect until terminated by a notice provided at least six months before the end of the calendar year. Following such notice, SDG&E would file an updated rate request with an effective date of January 1 of the following year.
NOTE 5. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
We generally account for investments under the equity method when we have significant influence over, but do not have control of, these entities. Equity earnings and losses, both before and net of income tax, are combined and presented as Equity Earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 11 for information on equity earnings and losses, both before and net of income tax, by segment. See Note 1 for information on how equity earnings and losses before income taxes are factored into the calculations of our pretax income or loss and ETR.
We provide additional information concerning our equity method investments in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
SEMPRA TEXAS UTILITIES
Oncor Holdings
We account for our 100% equity ownership interest in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor, as an equity method investment. Due to the ring-fence measures, governance mechanisms and commitments in effect, we do not have the power to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings and Oncor. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for additional information related to the restrictions on our ability to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings and Oncor.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Sempra contributed $270 million and $256 million, respectively, to Oncor Holdings, and Oncor Holdings distributed $323 million and $255 million, respectively, to Sempra.
We provide summarized income statement information for Oncor Holdings in the following table.

SEMPRA INFRASTRUCTURE
Cameron LNG JV
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Sempra Infrastructure contributed $11 million and $19 million, respectively, to Cameron LNG JV, and Cameron LNG JV distributed $339 million and $388 million, respectively, to Sempra Infrastructure.
Sempra Promissory Note for SDSRA Distribution
Cameron LNG JV’s debt agreements require Cameron LNG JV to maintain the SDSRA, which is an additional reserve account beyond the Senior Debt Service Accrual Account, where funds accumulate from operations to satisfy senior debt obligations due and payable on the next payment date. Both accounts can be funded with cash or authorized investments. In June 2021, Sempra Infrastructure received a distribution of $165 million based on its proportionate share of the SDSRA, for which Sempra provided a promissory note and letters of credit to secure a proportionate share of Cameron LNG JV’s obligation to fund the SDSRA. Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss is replenishment of the amount withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA, or $165 million. We recorded a guarantee liability of $22 million in June 2021, with an associated carrying value of $19 million at September 30, 2023, for the fair value of the promissory note, which is being reduced over the duration of the guarantee through Sempra Infrastructure’s investment in Cameron LNG JV. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of Cameron LNG JV’s debt, scheduled to occur in 2039, or replenishment of the amount withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA.
Sempra Support Agreement for CFIN
In July 2020, CFIN entered into a financing arrangement with Cameron LNG JV’s four project owners and received aggregate proceeds of $1.5 billion from two project owners and from external lenders on behalf of the other two project owners (collectively, the affiliate loans), based on their proportionate ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV. CFIN used the proceeds from the affiliate loans to provide a loan to Cameron LNG JV. The affiliate loans mature in 2039. Principal and interest will be paid from Cameron LNG JV’s project cash flows from its three-train natural gas liquefaction facility. Cameron LNG JV used the proceeds from its loan to return equity to its project owners. Sempra used its $753 million share of the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.
Sempra Infrastructure’s $753 million proportionate share of the affiliate loans, based on SI Partners’ 50.2% ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV, was funded by external lenders comprised of a syndicate of eight banks (the bank debt) to whom Sempra has provided a guarantee pursuant to a Support Agreement under which:
▪Sempra has severally guaranteed repayment of the bank debt plus accrued and unpaid interest if CFIN fails to pay the external lenders;
▪the external lenders may exercise an option to put the bank debt to Sempra Infrastructure upon the occurrence of certain events, including a failure by CFIN to meet its payment obligations under the bank debt;
▪the external lenders will put some or all of the bank debt to Sempra Infrastructure on the fifth, tenth, or fifteenth anniversary date of the affiliate loans, except the portion of the debt owed to any external lender that has elected not to participate in the put option six months prior to the respective anniversary date;
▪Sempra Infrastructure also has a right to call the bank debt back from, or to refinance the bank debt with, the external lenders at any time; and
▪the Support Agreement will terminate upon full repayment of the bank debt, including repayment following an event in which the bank debt is put to Sempra Infrastructure.
In exchange for this guarantee, the external lenders pay a guarantee fee that is based on the credit rating of Sempra’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt rating, which guarantee fee Sempra Infrastructure recognizes as interest income as earned. Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss is the bank debt plus any accrued and unpaid interest and related fees, subject to a liability cap of 130% of the bank debt, or $979 million. We measure the Support Agreement at fair value, net of related guarantee fees, on a recurring basis (see Note 8). At September 30, 2023, the fair value of the Support Agreement was $18 million, of which $7 million is included in Other Current Assets and $11 million is included in Other Long-Term Assets on Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
TAG
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, TAG distributed $36 million and $32 million, respectively, to Sempra Infrastructure.
IMG
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, IMG distributed $6 million to Sempra Infrastructure.
NOTE 6. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES
The principal terms of our debt arrangements are described below and in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
SHORT-TERM DEBT
Committed Lines of Credit
At September 30, 2023, Sempra had an aggregate capacity of $9.9 billion under seven primary committed lines of credit, which provide liquidity and support commercial paper programs. Because our commercial paper programs are supported by some of these lines of credit, we reflect the amount of commercial paper outstanding, before reductions of any unamortized discounts, and any letters of credit outstanding as a reduction to the available unused credit capacity in the following table.

(1) In October 2023, Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each amended their respective credit facility to extend the expiration date from October 2027 to October 2028. Each credit facility will maintain a syndicate of 23 lenders through October 2027, at which time the syndicate of lenders for each credit facility will be reduced to 22 unless a new or existing lender agrees to assume the 23rd lender’s commitment. Such a reduction in lenders would result in a reduction to the available credit capacity to $3,845, $1,442 and $1,153 for Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively, through October 2028.
(2) In September 2023, the $150 facility was terminated and the $350 facility was amended to increase the commitment to $500, adjust the applicable margin to 80 bps (including credit adjustment spread), and extend the expiration date from September 2023 to September 2025.
(3) In August 2023, the facility was amended to include IEnova as a co-borrower, adjust the Term SOFR credit adjustment spread to 10 bps in all tenors, and extend the expiration date from November 2024 to August 2026. Additionally, either SI Partners or IEnova has the right to increase the total facility to $1,500, subject to lender approval.
(4) In August 2023, the facility was amended to extend the expiration date from February 2024 to August 2028.
Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each must maintain a ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in each of the applicable credit facilities) of no more than 65% at the end of each quarter. At September 30, 2023, each entity was in compliance with this ratio under its respective credit facility.
SI Partners must maintain a ratio of consolidated adjusted net indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as defined in each of the applicable credit facilities) of no more than 5.25 to 1.00 at the end of each quarter. At September 30, 2023, SI Partners was in compliance with this ratio.
In March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into a seven-year initial working capital facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders expiring in March 2030. The credit facility permits borrowings of up to $200 million, which bear interest by reference to Term SOFR, plus the applicable margin and a credit adjustment spread. The credit facility also provides for the issuance of up to $200 million of letters of credit.
Uncommitted Line of Credit
ECA LNG Phase 1 has an uncommitted line of credit, which is generally used for working capital requirements, with an aggregate capacity of $200 million of which $37 million was outstanding at September 30, 2023. The amounts outstanding are before reductions of any unamortized discounts. Borrowings can be in U.S. dollars or Mexican pesos. At September 30, 2023, outstanding amounts were borrowed in Mexican pesos and bear interest at a variable rate based on the 28-day Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate plus 105 bps. In June 2023, the facility was amended to extend the expiration date to August 2024 and replace the London Interbank Offered Rate reference rate plus 105 bps with the SOFR reference rate plus 115 bps. As such, borrowings made in U.S. dollars bear interest at a variable rate based on the one-month or three-month SOFR plus 115 bps.
Uncommitted Letters of Credit
Outside of our domestic and foreign credit facilities, we have bilateral unsecured standby letter of credit capacity with select lenders that is uncommitted and supported by reimbursement agreements. At September 30, 2023, we had $508 million in standby letters of credit outstanding under these agreements.

Term Loan
In July 2022, SoCalGas entered into an $800 million, 364-day term loan agreement with a maturity date of July 6, 2023. In August 2022, SoCalGas borrowed $800 million, net of negligible debt issuance costs, under the term loan agreement. The borrowing bore interest at benchmark rates plus 70 bps and was due in full upon maturity. SoCalGas used the proceeds for payment of a portion of the costs relating to litigation pertaining to the Leak. In the second quarter of 2023, SoCalGas repaid the term loan in full.

LONG-TERM DEBT
SDG&E
In March 2023, SDG&E issued $800 million aggregate principal amount of 5.35% first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on April 1, 2053 and received proceeds of $783 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $17 million). The first mortgage bonds are redeemable prior to maturity, subject to their terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SDG&E used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repayment of commercial paper and other indebtedness.
In August 2023, SDG&E issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.95% green first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on August 15, 2028 and received proceeds of $593 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $7 million). The first mortgage bonds are redeemable prior to maturity, subject to their terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SDG&E intends to use the net proceeds to finance or refinance investments in eligible projects that fall into one or more of the following categories: climate change adaptation, clean energy solutions and clean transportation.
SoCalGas
In May 2023, SoCalGas issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.20% first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on June 1, 2033 and received proceeds of $495 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $5 million), and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on June 1, 2053 and received proceeds of $493 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $7 million). Each series of first mortgage bonds is redeemable prior to maturity, subject to its terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SoCalGas used the net proceeds to repay its $300 million senior unsecured floating rate notes prior to their September 2023 scheduled maturity, a portion of its $800 million term loan and other general corporate purposes.
Sempra
In June 2023, Sempra issued $550 million aggregate principal amount of 5.40% senior unsecured notes due in full upon maturity on August 1, 2026 and received proceeds of $545 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $5 million), and $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior unsecured notes due in full upon maturity on August 1, 2033 and received proceeds of $692 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $8 million). Each series of notes is redeemable prior to maturity, subject to its terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repayment of commercial paper and other indebtedness.
Sempra Infrastructure
ECA LNG Phase 1
ECA LNG Phase 1 has a five-year loan agreement with a syndicate of seven external lenders that matures in December 2025 for an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.3 billion. IEnova and TotalEnergies SE have provided guarantees for repayment of the loans plus accrued and unpaid interest of 83.4% and 16.6%, respectively. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $782 million and $575 million, respectively, of borrowings from external lenders were outstanding under the loan agreement, with a weighted-average interest rate of 8.35% and 7.54%, respectively.
Port Arthur LNG
In March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into a term loan facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 billion. Proceeds from the loans will be used to finance the cost of construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. The loans mature on March 20, 2030 and bear interest by reference to Term SOFR, plus the applicable margin and a credit adjustment spread. The applicable margin prior to completion of the PA LNG Phase 1 project (which occurs upon the satisfaction or waiver of a series of customary operational, technical, environmental and social and other tests and conditions that generally would not be fully met until after the commercial operations date) is 2.00% and on completion and thereafter is 2.25%. The principal amounts outstanding on the loans must be repaid in quarterly installments, commencing on the earlier of (i) the first quarterly payment date occurring more than three calendar months following completion of the PA LNG Phase 1 project and (ii) April 20, 2029. Under the terms of the loan agreement, at least 60% of the projected outstanding balance is required to be hedged during construction and over the underlying 20-year notional amortization period. As we discuss in Note 7, Port Arthur LNG entered into hedging instruments in satisfaction of this requirement in March 2023. An upfront equity funding amount of $4.7 billion is required to have been contributed to Port Arthur LNG for construction costs as a condition to the initial advance of term loans under the agreement (other than advances for fees, interest, expenses and certain other specified costs). Port Arthur LNG paid $200 million in debt issuance costs at closing. Additionally, the loan agreement and the related working capital facility agreement that we discuss above require payment of commitment fees calculated at a rate per annum equal to 30% of the applicable margin for Term SOFR loans multiplied by the outstanding debt commitments, and additional administrative fees. At September 30, 2023, $243 million of borrowings were outstanding under the loan agreement, with an all-in weighted-average interest rate of 5.71%.
In connection with this loan agreement, SI Partners and ConocoPhillips have collectively provided commitments for approximately $2.8 billion in equity funding for the benefit of Port Arthur LNG for their respective affiliate’s share of the equity funding of anticipated construction costs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project in excess of the upfront equity funding amount of $4.7 billion. The amount of each commitment is based on each of SI Partners’ and ConocoPhillips’ proportionate indirect ownership interest in Port Arthur LNG of 70% and 30%, respectively, as of the March 2023 loan agreement. The obligation under these guarantees will be reduced as their respective affiliates fund their direct proportionate interest of capital calls. Such equity funding can be called upon by Port Arthur LNG to fund project costs or, upon the taking of an enforcement action under the terms of Port Arthur LNG’s finance documents, to pay its senior debt obligations.
The pari passu secured obligations under the related finance documents are secured by a first priority lien (subject to customary permitted encumbrances) in substantially all of the assets of Port Arthur LNG, including the equity interests in, and real property
interests of, Port Arthur LNG.
NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We use derivative instruments primarily to manage exposures arising in the normal course of business. Our principal exposures are commodity market risk, benchmark interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate exposures. Our use of derivatives for these risks is integrated into the economic management of our anticipated revenues, anticipated expenses, assets and liabilities. Derivatives may be effective in mitigating these risks (1) that could lead to declines in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, or (2) that could cause our asset values to fall or our liabilities to increase. Accordingly, our derivative activity summarized below generally represents an impact that is intended to offset associated revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities that are not included in the tables below.
In certain cases, we apply the normal purchase or sale exception to derivative instruments and have other commodity contracts that are not derivatives. These contracts are not recorded at fair value and are therefore excluded from the disclosures below.
In all other cases, we record derivatives at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We may have derivatives that are (1) cash flow hedges, (2) fair value hedges, or (3) undesignated. Depending on the applicability of hedge accounting and, for SDG&E and SoCalGas and other operations subject to regulatory accounting, the requirement to pass impacts through to customers, the impact of derivative instruments may be offset in OCI (cash flow hedges), on the balance sheet (regulatory offsets), or recognized in earnings (fair value hedges and undesignated derivatives not subject to rate recovery). We classify cash flows from the principal settlements of cross-currency swaps that hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt and amounts related to terminations or early settlements of interest rate swaps as financing activities and settlements of other derivative instruments as operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
HEDGE ACCOUNTING
We may designate a derivative as a cash flow hedging instrument if it effectively converts anticipated cash flows associated with revenues or expenses to a fixed dollar amount. We may utilize cash flow hedge accounting for derivative commodity instruments, foreign currency instruments and interest rate instruments. Designating cash flow hedges is dependent on the business context in which the instrument is being used, the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk of variability of future cash flows of a given revenue or expense item, and other criteria.
ENERGY DERIVATIVES
Our market risk is primarily related to natural gas and electricity price volatility and the specific physical locations where we transact. We use energy derivatives to manage these risks. The use of energy derivatives in our various businesses depends on the particular energy market, and the operating and regulatory environments applicable to the business, as follows:
▪SDG&E and SoCalGas use natural gas derivatives and SDG&E uses electricity derivatives, for the benefit of customers, with the objective of managing price risk and basis risk, and stabilizing and lowering natural gas and electricity costs. These derivatives include fixed-price natural gas and electricity positions, options, and basis risk instruments, which are either exchange-traded or over-the-counter financial instruments, or bilateral physical transactions. This activity is governed by risk management and transacting activity plans limited by company policy. SDG&E’s risk management and transacting activity plans for electricity derivatives are also required to be filed with, and have been approved by, the CPUC. SoCalGas is also subject to certain regulatory requirements and thresholds related to natural gas procurement under the GCIM. Natural gas and electricity derivative activities are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and are recovered
in rates. Net commodity cost impacts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are reflected in Cost of Natural Gas or in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power.
▪SDG&E is allocated and may purchase CRRs, which serve to reduce the regional electricity price volatility risk that may result from local transmission capacity constraints. Unrealized gains and losses do not impact earnings, as they are offset by regulatory account balances. Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
▪Sempra Infrastructure may use natural gas and electricity derivatives, as appropriate, in an effort to optimize the earnings of its assets which support the following businesses: LNG, natural gas pipelines and storage, and power generation. Gains and losses associated with undesignated derivatives are recognized in Energy-Related Businesses Revenues on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
▪From time to time, our various businesses, including SDG&E and SoCalGas, may use other derivatives to hedge exposures such as GHG allowances.
The following table summarizes net energy derivative volumes.

INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES
We are exposed to interest rates primarily as a result of our current and expected use of financing. SDG&E and SoCalGas, as well as Sempra and its other subsidiaries and JVs, periodically enter into interest rate derivative agreements intended to moderate our exposure to interest rates and to lower our overall costs of borrowing. In addition, we may utilize interest rate swaps, typically designated as cash flow hedges, to lock in interest rates on outstanding debt or in anticipation of future financings.
In December 2022, Sempra Infrastructure entered into an undesignated contingent interest rate swap to lock in interest rates on up to $3.5 billion of the variable rate indebtedness from anticipated future project-level debt financing that would be used to pay for construction costs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. The contingent interest rate swap had a 25-year tenor, and its settlement was conditional upon the closing of project-level debt financing with respect to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. In March 2023, we closed on the project-level debt financing and, shortly thereafter, paid $14 million to cash settle the contingent interest rate swap.
As we discuss in Note 6, a minimum of 60% of the projected amount of term loans outstanding is required to be hedged under the Port Arthur LNG term loan facility agreement. In March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with 17 counterparties to hedge the variability in cash flows related to the SOFR-based component of interest payments on forecasted loans outstanding under the agreement. The notional amounts of the interest rate swaps generally increase in proportion to the forecasted borrowings up to a maximum amount of $4.2 billion prior to the maturity of the term loans on March 20, 2030. Under the interest rate swaps, which are designated as cash flow hedges, Port Arthur LNG receives interest at Term SOFR and pays interest at a fixed rate of 3.23% based on amortizing notional amounts maturing in 2048.
The following table presents the net notional amounts of our interest rate derivatives, excluding those in our equity method investments and the contingent interest rate swap.

(1) At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, cash flow hedges accrued interest based on a notional of $491 and $294, respectively.
FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES
We may utilize cross-currency swaps to hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt at our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs. These cash flow hedges exchange our Mexican peso-denominated principal and interest payments into the U.S. dollar and swap Mexican fixed interest rates for U.S. fixed interest rates. From time to time, Sempra Infrastructure and its JVs may use other foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposures related to cash flows associated with revenues from contracts denominated in Mexican pesos that are indexed to the U.S. dollar.
We are also exposed to exchange rate movements at our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs, which have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that give rise to Mexican currency exchange rate movements for Mexican income tax purposes. They also have deferred income tax assets and liabilities denominated in the Mexican peso, which must be translated to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. In addition, monetary assets and liabilities and certain nonmonetary assets and liabilities are adjusted for Mexican inflation for Mexican income tax purposes. We may utilize foreign currency derivatives as a means to manage the risk of exposure to significant fluctuations in our income tax expense and equity earnings from these impacts; however, we generally do not hedge our deferred income tax assets and liabilities or for inflation.
The following table presents the net notional amounts of our foreign currency derivatives, excluding those in our equity method investments.

(1) Equity earnings at our foreign equity method investees are recognized after tax.
For Sempra, we expect that net gains before NCI of $48 million, which are net of income tax expense, that are currently recorded in AOCI (with net gains of $22 million attributable to NCI) related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged items affect earnings. SoCalGas expects that $1 million of losses, net of income tax benefit, that are currently recorded in AOCI related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged items affect earnings. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified into earnings depend on the interest rates in effect when derivative contracts mature.
For all forecasted transactions, the maximum remaining term over which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at September 30, 2023 is approximately 24 years for Sempra. The maximum remaining term for which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at our equity method investees is 16 years.

CREDIT RISK RELATED CONTINGENT FEATURES
For Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas, certain of our derivative instruments contain credit limits which vary depending on our credit ratings. Generally, these provisions, if applicable, may reduce our credit limit if a specified credit rating agency reduces our ratings. In certain cases, if our credit ratings were to fall below investment grade, the counterparty to these derivative liability instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full collateralization.
For Sempra, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $160 million and $106 million, respectively. For SoCalGas, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $157 million and $69 million, respectively. SDG&E did not have this group of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, if the credit ratings of Sempra or SoCalGas were reduced below investment grade, $160 million and $157 million, respectively, of additional assets could be required to be posted as collateral for these derivative contracts.
For Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas, some of our derivative contracts contain a provision that would permit the counterparty, in certain circumstances, to request adequate assurance of our performance under the contracts. Such additional assurance, if needed, is not material and is not included in the amounts above.
NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We discuss the valuation techniques and inputs we use to measure fair value and the definition of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASURES
The three tables below, by level within the fair value hierarchy, set forth our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We classify financial assets and liabilities in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair-valued assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. We have not changed the valuation techniques or types of inputs we use to measure recurring fair value since December 31, 2022.
The fair value of commodity derivative assets and liabilities is presented in accordance with our netting policy, as we discuss in Note 7 under “Financial Statement Presentation.”
The determination of fair values, shown in the tables below, incorporates various factors, including but not limited to, the credit standing of the counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements (such as cash deposits, letters of credit and priority interests).
Our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis in the tables below include the following:
▪Nuclear decommissioning trusts reflect the assets of SDG&E’s NDT, excluding accounts receivable and accounts payable. A third-party trustee values the trust assets using prices from a pricing service based on a market approach. We validate these prices by comparison to prices from other independent data sources. Securities are valued using quoted prices listed on nationally recognized securities exchanges or based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1). Other securities are valued based on yields that are currently available for comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings (Level 2).
▪For commodity contracts, interest rate instruments and foreign exchange instruments, we primarily use a market or income approach with market participant assumptions to value these derivatives. Market participant assumptions include those about risk, and the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation techniques. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. We have exchange-traded derivatives that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for the identical instruments (Level 1). We also may have other commodity derivatives that are valued using industry standard models that consider quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, volatility factors, and other relevant economic measures (Level 2). Level 3 recurring items relate to CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions at SDG&E, as we discuss below in “Level 3 Information – SDG&E.”
▪Rabbi Trust investments include short-term investments that consist of money market and mutual funds that we value using a market approach based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1).
▪As we discuss in Note 5, in July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN. We measure the Support Agreement, which includes a guarantee obligation, a put option and a call option, net of related guarantee fees, at fair value on a recurring basis. We use a discounted cash flow model to value the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees. Because some of the inputs that are significant to the valuation are less observable, the Support Agreement is classified as Level 3, as we describe below in “Level 3 Information – Sempra Infrastructure.”

Level 3 Information
SDG&E
The table below sets forth reconciliations of changes in the fair value of CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy for Sempra and SDG&E.

(1) Excludes the effect of the contractual ability to settle contracts under master netting agreements.
Inputs used to determine the fair value of CRRs and fixed-price electricity positions are reviewed and compared with market conditions to determine reasonableness.
CRRs are recorded at fair value based almost entirely on the most current auction prices published by the California ISO, an objective source. Annual auction prices are published once a year, typically in the middle of November, and are the basis for valuing CRRs settling in the following year. For the CRRs settling from January 1 to December 31, the auction price inputs, at a given location, were in the following ranges for the years indicated below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
CONGESTION REVENUE RIGHTS AUCTION PRICE INPUTS |
|
Settlement year | Price per MWh | | Median price per MWh |
2023 | $ | (3.09) | | to | $ | 10.71 | | | $ | (0.56) | |
2022 | (3.67) | | to | 6.96 | | | (0.70) | |
The impact associated with discounting is not significant. Because these auction prices are a less observable input, these instruments are classified as Level 3. The fair value of these instruments is derived from auction price differences between two locations. Positive values between two locations represent expected future reductions in congestion costs, whereas negative values between two locations represent expected future charges. Valuation of our CRRs is sensitive to a change in auction price. If auction prices at one location increase (decrease) relative to another location, this could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. We summarize CRR volumes in Note 7.
Long-term, fixed-price electricity positions in 2022 that were valued using significant unobservable data were classified as Level 3 because the contract terms related to a delivery location or tenor for which observable market rate information was not available. The fair value of the net electricity positions classified as Level 3 was derived from a discounted cash flow model using market electricity forward price inputs. The range and weighted-average price of these inputs at September 30, 2022 were $26.75 to $127.20 and $68.50, respectively. We summarize long-term, fixed-price electricity position volumes in Note 7.
Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Because unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities, they do not affect earnings.
Sempra Infrastructure
The table below sets forth reconciliations of changes in the fair value of Sempra’s Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy for Sempra.

The fair value of the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is based on a discounted cash flow model using a probability of default and survival methodology. Our estimate of fair value considers inputs such as third-party default rates, credit ratings, recovery rates, and risk-adjusted discount rates, which may be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. Because CFIN’s credit rating and related default and survival rates are unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation, the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is classified as Level 3. We assigned CFIN an internally developed credit rating of A3 and relied on default rate data published by Moody’s to assign a probability of default. A hypothetical change in the credit rating up or down one notch could result in a significant change in the fair value of the Support Agreement.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values of certain of our financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable, amounts due to/from unconsolidated affiliates with original maturities of less than 90 days, dividends and accounts payable, short-term debt and customer deposits) approximate their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investments in life insurance contracts that we hold in support of our Supplemental Executive Retirement, Cash Balance Restoration and Deferred Compensation Plans are carried at cash surrender values, which represent the amount of cash that could be realized under the contracts. The following table provides the carrying amounts and fair values of certain other financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We provide the fair values for the securities held in the NDT related to SONGS in Note 9.
NOTE 9. SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
We provide below updates to ongoing matters related to SONGS, a nuclear generating facility near San Clemente, California that permanently ceased operations in June 2013, and in which SDG&E has a 20% ownership interest. We discuss SONGS further in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
NUCLEAR DECOMMISSIONING AND FUNDING
As a result of Edison’s decision to permanently retire SONGS Units 2 and 3, Edison began the decommissioning phase of the plant. Major decommissioning work began in 2020. We expect the majority of the decommissioning work to be completed around 2030. Decommissioning of Unit 1, removed from service in 1992, is largely complete. The remaining work for Unit 1 will be completed once Units 2 and 3 are dismantled and the spent fuel is removed from the site. The spent fuel is currently being stored on-site, until the DOE identifies a spent fuel storage facility and puts in place a program for the fuel’s disposal. SDG&E is responsible for approximately 20% of the total decommissioning cost.
In accordance with state and federal requirements and regulations, SDG&E has assets held in the NDT to fund its share of decommissioning costs for SONGS Units 1, 2 and 3. Amounts that were collected in rates for SONGS’ decommissioning are invested in the NDT, which is comprised of externally managed trust funds. Amounts held by the NDT are invested in accordance with CPUC regulations. SDG&E classifies debt and equity securities held in the NDT as available-for-sale. The NDT assets are presented on the Sempra and SDG&E Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with the offsetting credits recorded in noncurrent Regulatory Liabilities.
Except for the use of funds for the planning of decommissioning activities or NDT administrative costs, CPUC approval is required for SDG&E to access the NDT assets to fund SONGS decommissioning costs for Units 2 and 3. In December 2022, the CPUC granted SDG&E authorization to access NDT funds of up to $81 million for forecasted 2023 costs.
The following table shows the fair values and gross unrealized gains and losses for the securities held in the NDT on the Sempra and SDG&E Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We provide additional fair value disclosures for the NDT in Note 8.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
The present value of SDG&E’s ARO related to decommissioning costs for all three SONGS units was $512 million at September 30, 2023 and is based on a cost study prepared in 2020 that is pending CPUC approval. SDG&E expects to receive a proposed decision in the fourth quarter of 2023.
NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We accrue losses for a legal proceeding when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. However, the uncertainties inherent in legal proceedings make it difficult to reasonably estimate the costs and effects of resolving these matters. Accordingly, actual costs incurred may differ materially from amounts accrued, may exceed, and in some cases have exceeded, applicable insurance coverage and could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. Unless otherwise indicated, we are unable to reasonably estimate possible losses or a range of losses in excess of any amounts accrued.
At September 30, 2023, loss contingency accruals for legal matters, including associated legal fees and regulatory matters related to the Leak, that are probable and estimable were $203 million for Sempra, including $127 million for SoCalGas. Amounts for Sempra and SoCalGas include $125 million for matters related to the Leak, which we discuss below.
SDG&E
City of San Diego Franchise Agreement
In 2021, two lawsuits were filed in the California Superior Court challenging various aspects of the natural gas and electric franchise agreements granted by the City of San Diego to SDG&E. Both lawsuits ultimately sought to void the franchise agreements. In one of the cases, judgment was granted in favor of SDG&E and the City of San Diego, and the plaintiff in that case has appealed. In the second case, the court ruled in favor of SDG&E and the City of San Diego, upholding all terms of the franchise agreements, except for the two-thirds City Council vote requirement for termination if the City decides to terminate under certain circumstances. Under the court’s ruling, the City can instead terminate on a majority vote, so long as it satisfies repayment provisions under the franchise agreements. This matter is subject to a motion for reconsideration, and subsequently an appeal if not otherwise resolved.
SoCalGas
Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
From October 23, 2015 through February 11, 2016, SoCalGas experienced a natural gas leak from one of the injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility in Los Angeles County.
Litigation. In September 2021, SoCalGas and Sempra entered into an agreement with counsel to resolve approximately 390 lawsuits including approximately 36,000 plaintiffs (the Individual Plaintiffs) then pending against SoCalGas and Sempra related to the Leak for a payment of up to $1.8 billion. Over 99% of the Individual Plaintiffs participated and submitted valid releases, and SoCalGas paid $1.79 billion in 2022 under the agreement. The Individual Plaintiffs who have not participated in the settlement (the Remaining Individual Plaintiffs) are able to continue to pursue their claims. In addition, as of October 31, 2023, new lawsuits related to the Leak on behalf of approximately 394 new plaintiffs have been filed against SoCalGas and Sempra since the September 2021 settlement.
The Remaining Individual Plaintiffs’ cases and new plaintiffs’ cases are coordinated before a single court in the LA Superior Court for pretrial management under a consolidated master complaint filed in November 2017, with one plaintiff’s case proceeding under a separate complaint. Both the consolidated master complaint and the separate complaint assert negligence, negligence per se, strict liability, negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress and fraudulent concealment. The consolidated master complaint asserts additional causes of action for private and public nuisance (continuing and permanent), trespass, inverse condemnation, loss of consortium and wrongful death against SoCalGas and Sempra. The separate complaint asserts an additional cause of action for assault and battery. Both complaints seek compensatory and punitive damages for personal injuries, lost wages and/or lost profits, costs of future medical monitoring, and attorneys’ fees. The consolidated master complaint also seeks property damage and diminution in property value, injunctive relief and civil penalties. In October 2023, the LA Superior Court ordered the cases of 233 Remaining Individual Plaintiffs who did not respond to discovery requests to be dismissed.
Four shareholder derivative actions were filed alleging breach of fiduciary duties against certain officers and certain directors of Sempra and/or SoCalGas. Three of the four shareholder derivative actions were joined in an Amended Consolidated Shareholder Derivative Complaint filed in the same coordinated proceeding in the LA Superior Court, which was dismissed with prejudice in January 2021, and in June 2023, the Court of Appeal of the State of California Second Appellate District Division Five affirmed the dismissal. Plaintiffs have sought review in the California Supreme Court. The LA Superior Court dismissed the remaining fourth action with prejudice in November 2022. Plaintiffs appealed this dismissal, but in October 2023, abandoned the appeal; as a result, the dismissal is final.
Regulatory Proceeding. In February 2017, the CPUC opened proceeding SB 380 OII to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region, but excluding issues with respect to air quality, public health, causation, culpability or cost responsibility regarding the Leak. The first phase of the proceeding established a framework for the hydraulic, production cost and economic modeling assumptions for the potential reduction in usage or elimination of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, as well as evaluating the impacts of reducing or eliminating the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility using the established framework and models. The next phase of the proceeding included engaging a consultant to analyze alternative means for meeting or avoiding the demand for the facility’s services if it were eliminated in either the 2027 or 2035 timeframe, and to address potential implementation of alternatives to the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility if the CPUC determines that the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility should be permanently closed. The CPUC also added all California IOUs as parties to the proceeding and encouraged all load serving entities in the Los Angeles Basin to join the proceeding.
In November 2021, the CPUC issued a decision on the interim range of gas inventory levels at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, setting an interim range of gas inventory levels of up to 41.16 Bcf. In August 2023, the CPUC issued a decision approving a new interim range of gas inventory levels of up to 68.6 Bcf. The CPUC may issue future changes to this interim range of authorized gas inventory levels before issuing a final decision within the SB 380 OII proceeding.
At September 30, 2023, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $993 million. If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed or if future cash flows from its operation were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, we may record an impairment of the facility, which could be material, or we could incur materially higher than expected operating costs and/or be required to make material additional capital expenditures (any or all of which may not be recoverable in rates), and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized.
Regulatory Proceeding – Resolved. In June 2019, the CPUC opened an OII (the Leak OII) to investigate and consider, among other things, whether SoCalGas should be sanctioned for the Leak and what damages, fines or other penalties, if any, should be imposed for any violations, unreasonable or imprudent practices or failure to cooperate sufficiently with SED, as well as to determine the amount of various costs incurred by SoCalGas and other parties in connection with the Leak and the ratemaking treatment or other disposition of such costs. In October 2022, SoCalGas executed a settlement agreement with SED and the Public Advocates Office at the CPUC to resolve all aspects of the Leak OII. The settlement agreement provides for financial penalties, certain costs that SoCalGas will reimburse, a violation of California Public Utilities Code section 451, and that SoCalGas will not seek recovery from ratepayers for costs previously incurred, among other provisions. In September 2023, the CPUC issued a final decision approving the settlement agreement.
Insurance and Accounting and Other Impacts. Since 2015, SoCalGas has incurred significant costs related to the Leak, including costs to defend against and settle civil litigation arising from the Leak. Other than insurance for directors’ and officers’ liability, we have exhausted all of our insurance for this matter. We continue to pursue other sources of insurance coverage for costs related to this matter, but we may not be successful in obtaining additional insurance recovery for any of these costs.
In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, SoCalGas recorded total charges of $122 million ($101 million after tax) and $259 million ($199 million after tax), respectively, in Aliso Canyon Litigation and Regulatory Matters on the SoCalGas and Sempra Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the litigation and regulatory proceedings associated with the Leak.
At September 30, 2023, $126 million is accrued in Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $3 million is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These accruals do not include any amounts in excess of what has been estimated to resolve certain matters that we describe above in “Litigation” and “Regulatory Proceeding,” nor any amounts that may be necessary to resolve threatened litigation, other potential litigation or other costs, in each case to the extent it is not possible to predict at this time the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the possible costs or a range of possible costs. Further, we are not able to reasonably estimate the possible loss or a range of possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued, which could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Sempra Infrastructure
Energía Costa Azul
We describe below certain land disputes and permit challenges affecting our ECA Regas Facility. Certain of these land disputes involve land on which portions of the ECA LNG liquefaction facilities under construction and in development are expected to be situated or on which portions of the ECA Regas Facility that would be necessary for the operation of such ECA LNG liquefaction facilities are situated. One or more unfavorable final decisions on these disputes or challenges could materially adversely affect our existing natural gas regasification operations and proposed natural gas liquefaction projects at the site of the ECA Regas Facility and have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Land Disputes. Sempra Infrastructure has been engaged in a long-running land dispute with a claimant relating to property adjacent to its ECA Regas Facility that allegedly overlaps with land owned by the ECA Regas Facility (the facility, however, is not situated on the land that is the subject of this dispute), as follows:
▪The claimant to the adjacent property filed complaints in the federal Agrarian Court challenging the refusal of SEDATU in 2006 to issue title to him for the disputed property. In November 2013, the federal Agrarian Court ordered that SEDATU issue the requested title to the claimant and cause it to be registered. Both SEDATU and Sempra Infrastructure challenged the ruling due to lack of notification of the underlying process. In May 2019, a federal court in Mexico reversed the ruling and ordered a retrial, which is pending resolution.
▪In a separate proceeding, the claimant filed suit to reinitiate an administrative procedure at SEDATU to obtain the property title that, as described above, had previously been issued in a ruling by the federal Agrarian Court and subsequently reversed by a federal court in Mexico. In April 2021, the proceeding in the Agrarian Court concluded with the court ordering that the administrative procedure be restarted. The administrative procedure at SEDATU may continue if SEDATU decides to reopen the matter.
In addition, an area of real property on which part of the ECA Regas Facility is situated is subject to a claim in the federal Agrarian Court, in which the plaintiff seeks to annul the property title for a portion of the land on which the ECA Regas Facility is situated and to obtain possession of a different parcel that allegedly overlaps with the site of the ECA Regas Facility. The proceeding, which seeks an order that SEDATU annul the ECA Regas Facility’s competing property title, was initiated in 2006 and, in July 2021, a decision was issued in favor of the ECA Regas Facility. The plaintiff appealed and, in February 2022, the appellate court confirmed the ruling in favor of the ECA Regas Facility and dismissed the appeal. The plaintiff filed a federal appeal against the appellate court ruling. A ruling from the Federal Collegiate Circuit Court is pending.
Environmental and Social Impact Permits. Several administrative challenges are pending before Mexico’s Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (the Mexican environmental protection agency) and Federal Tax and Administrative Courts, seeking revocation of the environmental impact authorization issued to the ECA Regas Facility in 2003. These cases generally allege that the conditions and mitigation measures in the environmental impact authorization are inadequate and challenge findings that the activities of the terminal are consistent with regional development guidelines.
In 2018 and 2021, three related claimants filed separate challenges in the federal district court in Ensenada, Baja California in relation to the environmental and social impact permits issued by each of ASEA and SENER to ECA LNG authorizing natural gas liquefaction activities at the ECA Regas Facility, as follows:
▪In the first case, the court issued a provisional injunction against the permits in September 2018. In December 2018, ASEA approved modifications to the environmental permit that facilitate the development of the proposed natural gas liquefaction facility in two phases. In May 2019, the court canceled the provisional injunction. The claimant appealed the court’s decision canceling the injunction but was not successful. The claimant’s underlying challenge to the permits remains pending.
▪In the second case, the initial request for a provisional injunction against the permits was denied. That decision was reversed on appeal in January 2020, resulting in the issuance of a new injunction against the permits that were issued by ASEA and SENER. This injunction has uncertain application absent clarification by the court. The claimants petitioned the court to rule that construction of natural gas liquefaction facilities violated the injunction and, in February 2022, the court ruled in favor of the ECA Regas Facility, holding that the natural gas liquefaction construction activities did not violate the injunction. The claimants appealed this ruling but were not successful. The claimants’ underlying challenge to the permits remains pending.
▪In the third case, a group of residents filed a complaint in June 2021 against various federal and state authorities alleging deficiencies in the public consultation process for the issuance of the permits. The request for an initial injunction was denied. The claimants appealed this ruling but were not successful. The lower court’s ruling was favorable to the ECA Regas Facility, as the court determined that no harm has been caused to the plaintiffs and dismissed the lawsuit. The claimants appealed and the appellate court’s ruling is pending.
Litigation Related to Regulatory and Other Actions by the Mexican Government
Amendments to Mexico’s Electricity Industry Law. In March 2021, the Mexican government published a decree with amendments to Mexico’s Electricity Industry Law that include some public policy changes, including establishing priority of dispatch for CFE plants over privately owned plants. According to the decree, these amendments were to become effective in March 2021, and SENER, the CRE and Centro Nacional de Control de Energía (Mexico’s National Center for Energy Control) were to have 180 calendar days to modify, as necessary, all resolutions, policies, criteria, manuals and other regulations applicable to the power industry to conform with this decree. However, a Mexican court issued a suspension of the amendments later in March 2021. In April 2022, the Mexican Supreme Court resolved an action of unconstitutionality filed by a group of senators against the amended Electricity Industry Law, but the qualified majority of eight votes out of 11 as is required in matters involving constitutionality was not reached and the proceeding was dismissed, which means that the Mexican Supreme Court did not issue a binding precedent and the amended Electricity Industry Law remains in force. Sempra Infrastructure filed three lawsuits against the amendments to the Electricity Industry Law and, in each of them, Sempra Infrastructure obtained a favorable judgment in the lower courts, which were challenged by the CRE. Final resolution is pending. If the proposed amendments are affirmed by the lower courts or by the Mexican Supreme Court (which in these cases would only require a simple majority vote), the CRE may be required to revoke self-supply permits granted under the former electricity law, which were grandfathered when the new Electricity Industry Law was enacted, under a legal standard that is ambiguous and not well-defined under the law. If such self-supply permits granted under the former electricity law are revoked, it may result in increased costs for Sempra Infrastructure and for its power consumers, adversely affect our ability to develop new projects, result in decreased revenues and cash flows, and negatively impact our ability to recover the carrying values of our investments in Mexico, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Sonora Pipeline – Resolved
Guaymas-El Oro Segment. Sempra Infrastructure’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two segments, the Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment and the Guaymas-El Oro segment. Each segment has its own service agreement with the CFE. In 2015, the Yaqui tribe, with the exception of some members living in the Bácum community, granted its consent and a right-of-way easement agreement for the construction of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora natural gas pipeline that crosses its territory. Representatives of the Bácum community filed a legal challenge in Mexican federal court demanding the right to withhold consent for the project, resulting in a suspension order in 2016 that prohibited construction through the Bácum community territory. Because Sempra Infrastructure did not believe the 2016 suspension order prohibited construction in the remainder of the Yaqui territory, construction was completed, and commercial operations began in May 2017.
Following the start of commercial operations, Sempra Infrastructure reported damage to the Guaymas-El Oro segment in the Yaqui territory that has made that section inoperable since August 2017 and, as a result, Sempra Infrastructure declared a force majeure event. In 2017, an appellate court ruled that the scope of the 2016 suspension order encompassed the wider Yaqui territory, which has prevented Sempra Infrastructure from making repairs to put the pipeline back in service. In July 2019, a federal district court ruled in favor of Sempra Infrastructure and held that the Yaqui tribe was properly consulted and that consent from the Yaqui tribe was properly received. Representatives of the Bácum community appealed this decision, causing the suspension order preventing Sempra Infrastructure from repairing the damage to the Guaymas-El Oro segment to remain in place until the appeals process was exhausted. Following a request by the CFE to dismiss the appeal based on the plan to re-route the portion of the pipeline that is in the Yaqui territory, in December 2022, the court of appeals reversed the federal district court’s ruling and ordered the district court to issue a new ruling that takes into account the planned re-routing of the pipeline. In February 2023, the district court issued a new ruling and resolved to dismiss the case, which was not appealed and, in March 2023, the district court declared that the case was definitively concluded.
Other Litigation
RBS Sempra Commodities
Sempra holds an equity method investment in RBS Sempra Commodities, a limited liability partnership in the process of being liquidated. In 2015, liquidators filed a claim in the High Court of Justice against RBS (now NatWest Markets plc, our partner in the JV) and Mercuria Energy Europe Trading Limited (the Defendants) on behalf of 10 companies (the Liquidating Companies) that engaged in carbon credit trading via chains that included a company that traded directly with RBS SEE, a subsidiary of RBS Sempra Commodities. The claim alleges that the Defendants’ participation in the purchase and sale of carbon credits resulted in the Liquidating Companies’ carbon credit trading transactions creating a value-added tax liability they were unable to pay, and that the Defendants are liable to provide for equitable compensation due to dishonest assistance and compensation under the U.K. Insolvency Act of 1986. Trial on the matter was held in 2018. In March 2020, the High Court of Justice rendered its judgment mostly in favor of the Liquidating Companies and awarded damages of approximately £45 million (approximately $55 million in U.S. dollars at September 30, 2023), plus costs and interest. In October 2020, the High Court of Justice assessed costs and interest to be approximately £21 million (approximately $26 million in U.S. dollars at September 30, 2023) as of that date, with interest continuing to accrue. The Defendants appealed and, in May 2021, the Court of Appeal set aside the High Court of Justice’s decision and ordered a retrial. In July 2022, the Supreme Court of the U.K. denied the Liquidating Companies application for permission to appeal the Court of Appeal’s decision. No date has been scheduled for the retrial. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., which acquired RBS SEE and later sold it to Mercuria Energy Group, Ltd., previously notified us that Mercuria Energy Group, Ltd. has sought indemnity for the claim, and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. has in turn sought indemnity from Sempra and RBS.
Asbestos Claims Against EFH Subsidiaries
Certain EFH subsidiaries that we acquired as part of the merger of EFH with an indirect subsidiary of Sempra were defendants in personal injury lawsuits brought in state courts throughout the U.S. These cases alleged illness or death as a result of exposure to asbestos in power plants designed and/or built by companies whose assets were purchased by predecessor entities to the EFH subsidiaries, and generally assert claims for product defects, negligence, strict liability and wrongful death. They sought compensatory and punitive damages. As of October 31, 2023, two lawsuits are pending. Additionally, approximately 28,000 proofs of claim were filed, but not discharged, in advance of a December 2015 deadline to file a proof of claim in the EFH bankruptcy proceeding on behalf of persons who allege exposure to asbestos under similar circumstances and assert the right to file such lawsuits in the future. The costs to defend or resolve such claims and the amount of damages that may be incurred could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Ordinary Course Litigation
We are also defendants in ordinary routine litigation incidental to our businesses, including personal injury, employment litigation, product liability, property damage and other claims. Juries have demonstrated an increasing willingness to grant large awards, including punitive damages, in these types of cases.
LEASES
We discuss leases further in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Lessee Accounting
We have operating and finance leases for real and personal property (including office space, land, fleet vehicles, machinery and equipment, warehouses and other operational facilities) and PPAs with renewable energy, energy storage and peaker plant facilities.
SDG&E entered into an energy storage agreement that commenced in the second quarter of 2023 and expires in 2033. SDG&E recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability of $101 million. Undiscounted lease payments are $9 million in 2023, $13 million in each of 2024 through 2027 and $66 million thereafter.
Leases That Have Not Yet Commenced
SDG&E has entered into seven purchased-power contracts, of which SDG&E expects one will commence in the fourth quarter of 2023, two will commence in 2024, three will commence in 2025, and one will commence in 2026. SDG&E expects the future minimum lease payments to be $32 million in 2024, $61 million in 2025, $82 million in 2026, $83 million in 2027 and $919 million thereafter until expiration in 2041.
Lessor Accounting
Sempra Infrastructure is a lessor for certain of its natural gas and ethane pipelines, compressor stations, liquid petroleum gas storage facilities, a rail facility and refined products terminals, which we account for as operating or sales-type leases.
We provide information below for leases for which we are the lessor.

CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS
We discuss below significant changes in the first nine months of 2023 to contractual commitments discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Natural Gas Contracts
Sempra Infrastructure’s natural gas contracts and natural gas storage and transportation commitments have increased by approximately $877 million since December 31, 2022 primarily from entering into new storage and transportation contracts in the first nine months of 2023. We expect future payments to decrease by $29 million in 2023, and increase by $38 million in 2024, $35 million in 2025, $33 million in 2026, $30 million in 2027 and $770 million thereafter through expiration in 2059 compared to December 31, 2022.
LNG Purchase Agreement
Sempra Infrastructure has an SPA for the supply of LNG to the ECA Regas Facility. The commitment amount is calculated using a predetermined formula based on estimated forward prices of the index applicable from 2023 to 2029. Although this agreement specifies a number of cargoes to be delivered, under its terms, the supplier may divert certain cargoes, which would reduce amounts paid under the agreement by Sempra Infrastructure. At September 30, 2023, we expect the commitment amount to decrease by $980 million in 2023, $62 million in 2024, $45 million in 2025, $47 million in 2026, $58 million in 2027 and $136 million thereafter (through contract termination in 2029) compared to December 31, 2022, reflecting changes in estimated forward prices since December 31, 2022 and actual transactions for the first nine months of 2023. These LNG commitment amounts are based on the assumption that all LNG cargoes under the agreement are delivered, less those already confirmed to be diverted as of September 30, 2023. Actual LNG purchases in the current and prior years have been significantly lower than the maximum amount provided under the agreement due to the supplier electing to divert cargoes as allowed by the agreement.
Purchased-Power Contracts
SDG&E’s purchased-power contract commitments have increased by approximately $482 million since December 31, 2022 primarily from entering into energy storage, hybrid renewable energy and energy storage, and resource adequacy agreements for the first nine months of 2023. At September 30, 2023, we expect the commitment amount to increase by $14 million in 2023, $3 million in 2024, $13 million in 2025, $32 million in 2026, $33 million in 2027, and $387 million thereafter through expiration in 2042 compared to December 31, 2022.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
We disclose any proceeding under environmental laws to which a government authority is a party when the potential monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, exceed the lesser of $1 million or 1% of current assets, which was $53 million for Sempra, $19 million for SDG&E and $14 million for SoCalGas at September 30, 2023.
NOTE 11. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have four separately managed reportable segments, as follows:
▪SDG&E provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County.
▪SoCalGas is a natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.
▪Sempra Texas Utilities holds our investment in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor, a regulated electricity transmission and distribution utility serving customers in the north-central, eastern, western and panhandle regions of Texas; and our indirect, 50% interest in Sharyland Holdings L.P., which owns Sharyland Utilities, L.L.C., a regulated electric transmission utility serving customers near the Texas-Mexico border.
▪Sempra Infrastructure includes the operating companies of our subsidiary, SI Partners, as well as a holding company and certain services companies. Sempra Infrastructure develops, builds, operates and invests in energy infrastructure to help enable the energy transition in North American markets and globally.
We evaluate each segment’s performance based on its contribution to Sempra’s reported earnings and cash flows. SDG&E and SoCalGas operate in essentially separate service territories, under separate regulatory frameworks and rate structures set by the CPUC and, in the case of SDG&E, the FERC.
The cost of common services shared by the business segments is assigned directly or allocated based on various cost factors, depending on the nature of the service provided. Interest income and expense is recorded on intercompany loans. The loan balances and related interest are eliminated in consolidation.
The following tables show selected information by segment from our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts labeled as “All other” in the following tables consist primarily of activities of parent organizations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This combined MD&A for Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto in this report, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto, “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Part II – Item 7. MD&A” in the Annual Report.
OVERVIEW
Sempra is a California-based holding company with energy infrastructure investments in North America. Our businesses invest in, develop and operate energy infrastructure, and provide electric and gas services to customers.
On August 2, 2023, Sempra’s board of directors declared a two-for-one split of Sempra’s common stock in the form of a 100% stock dividend for shareholders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2023. Sempra’s common stock began trading on a post-split basis effective August 22, 2023. All shares and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split and are presented on a post-split basis herein.
We are currently considering a resegmentation in which our SDG&E and SoCalGas segments would be combined into one segment, Sempra California, resulting in three reportable segments. We intend to complete our analysis in the fourth quarter of 2023 and, assuming a positive determination is made, we would implement the resegmentation in our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2023.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We discuss the following in Results of Operations:
▪Overall results of operations of Sempra;

SDG&E
The increase in earnings of $3 million (1%) in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to:
▪$11 million higher electric transmission margin;
▪$8 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses and $6 million from lower authorized cost of capital; and
▪$4 million higher net regulatory interest income; offset by
▪$13 million lower income tax benefit from the resolution of prior year income tax items; and
▪$6 million higher net interest expense.
The increase in earnings of $35 million (5%) in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to:

▪$16 million higher net regulatory interest income;
▪$12 million higher electric transmission margin; and
▪$12 million lower income tax expense primarily from flow-through items and lower associated regulatory revenues in 2022; offset by

SoCalGas
Earnings of $16 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to losses of $82 million in the same period in 2022 were primarily due to:
▪$101 million charge in 2022 relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak;
▪$11 million higher income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items; and
▪$4 million higher net regulatory interest income; offset by
▪$15 million higher net interest expense.
The increase in earnings of $192 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to:
▪$199 million charge in 2022 relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak;
▪$28 million higher income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items, which includes $25 million related to income tax benefits in 2023 for previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures;
▪$15 million higher net regulatory interest income;
▪$13 million higher regulatory awards approved by the CPUC; and
▪$10 million in penalties in 2022 related to energy efficiency and advocacy OSCs; offset by

Sempra Texas Utilities
The increase in earnings of $49 million (19%) in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to higher equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:
▪higher revenues attributable to:
◦higher customer consumption primarily attributable to weather,
◦updates to transmission billing factors,
◦new base rates implemented in May 2023,
◦interim rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital, and
◦customer growth; offset by
▪higher interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to invested capital; and
▪higher O&M.
The decrease in earnings of $56 million (9%) in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to lower equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:
▪higher interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to invested capital;
▪write-off of rate base disallowances in 2023 resulting from the PUCT’s final order in Oncor’s comprehensive base rate review; and
▪higher O&M; offset by
▪higher revenues attributable to:
◦updates to transmission billing factors,
◦new base rates implemented in May 2023,
◦customer growth, and
◦interim rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital.
Sempra Infrastructure
The increase in earnings of $109 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to:
▪$50 million from asset and supply optimization driven by unrealized gains in 2023 compared to unrealized losses in 2022 on commodity derivatives due to changes in natural gas prices, offset by lower LNG diversion fees;
▪$50 million favorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico, comprised of a $52 million favorable impact in 2023 compared to a $2 million favorable impact in 2022;
▪$21 million lower net interest expense due to higher capitalization of interest expense on projects under construction, offset by higher interest rates and borrowings on committed lines of credit;
▪$15 million net income tax benefit in 2023 compared to $6 million net income tax expense in 2022 primarily from outside basis differences in JV investments; and
▪$9 million from the transportation business driven by higher equity earnings from new tariffs going into effect in June 2023 for certain pipelines in Mexico; offset by
▪$122 million earnings attributable to NCI in 2023 compared to $65 million earnings attributable to NCI in 2022 primarily due to an increase in SI Partners’ net income.
The increase in earnings of $354 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to:
▪$657 million from asset and supply optimization driven by unrealized gains in 2023 compared to unrealized losses in 2022 on commodity derivatives due to changes in natural gas prices;
▪$94 million from the transportation business driven by higher equity earnings and revenues, including the cumulative impact of new tariffs going into effect in June 2023 for certain pipelines in Mexico and a customer’s early termination of firm transportation agreements; and
▪$27 million higher net income tax benefit primarily from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes and outside basis differences in JV investments; offset by
▪$435 million earnings attributable to NCI in 2023 compared to $187 million earnings attributable to NCI in 2022 primarily due to an increase in SI Partners’ net income and from the sale of a 10% NCI in SI Partners to ADIA in June 2022;
▪$133 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico, comprised of a $244 million unfavorable impact in 2023 compared to a $111 million unfavorable impact in 2022;
▪$30 million higher net interest expense due to $27 million net unrealized losses in 2023 on a contingent interest rate swap related to the PA LNG Phase 1 project and higher interest rates and borrowings on committed lines of credit, offset by higher capitalization of interest expense on projects under construction; and
▪$18 million from the LNG business driven by higher development costs and certain non-capitalized expenses from projects under construction.
Parent and Other
The increase in losses of $23 million (31%) in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to:
▪$8 million income tax expense in 2023 compared to $23 million income tax benefit in 2022 from the interim period application of an annual forecasted consolidated ETR; and
▪$22 million higher net interest expense; offset by
▪$23 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes; and
▪$15 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the resolution of prior year income tax items.
The decrease in losses of $112 million (31%) in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to:
▪$120 million deferred income tax expense in 2022 associated with the change in our indefinite reinvestment assertion related to our foreign subsidiaries;
▪$44 million lower net investment losses on dedicated assets in support of our employee nonqualified benefit plan and deferred compensation plans;
▪$23 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes; and
▪$15 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the resolution of prior year income tax items; offset by
▪$43 million higher net interest expense;
▪$30 million income tax benefit in 2022 from changes to a valuation allowance against certain tax credit carryforwards; and
▪$24 million lower income tax benefit from the interim period application of an annual forecasted consolidated ETR.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES, COSTS AND EARNINGS
This section contains a discussion of the differences between periods in the specific line items of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas.
Utilities Revenues and Cost of Sales
Our utilities revenues include natural gas revenues at SoCalGas and SDG&E and Sempra Infrastructure’s Ecogas and electric revenues at SDG&E. Intercompany revenues included in the separate revenues of each utility are eliminated in Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
SoCalGas and SDG&E currently operate under a regulatory framework that permits:
▪The cost of natural gas purchased for core customers (primarily residential and small commercial and industrial customers) to be passed through to customers in rates substantially as incurred and without markup. The GCIM provides for SoCalGas to share in the savings and/or costs from buying natural gas for its core customers at prices below or above monthly market-based benchmarks. This mechanism permits full recovery of costs incurred when average purchase costs are within a price range around the benchmark price. Any higher costs incurred or savings realized outside this range are shared between core customers and SoCalGas.
▪SDG&E to recover the actual cost incurred to generate or procure electricity based on annual estimates of the cost of electricity supplied to customers. The differences in cost between estimates and actual are recovered or refunded in subsequent periods through rates.
▪SoCalGas and SDG&E to recover certain program expenditures and other costs authorized by the CPUC, herein referred to as “refundable programs.”
Because changes in SoCalGas’ and SDG&E’s cost of natural gas and/or electricity are recovered in rates, changes in these costs are offset in the changes in revenues and therefore do not impact earnings, other than potential impacts related to the GCIM for SoCalGas that we describe above. In addition to the changes in cost or market prices, natural gas or electric revenues recorded during a period are impacted by the difference between customer billings and recorded or CPUC-authorized amounts. These differences are required to be balanced over time, resulting in over- and undercollected regulatory balancing accounts. We discuss balancing accounts and their effects further in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
SoCalGas’ and SDG&E’s revenues are decoupled from, or not tied to, actual sales volumes. SoCalGas recognizes annual authorized revenue for natural gas customers using seasonal factors established in applicable proceedings, resulting in a significant portion of SoCalGas’ earnings being recognized in the first and fourth quarters of each year. SDG&E’s authorized revenue recognition is also impacted by seasonal factors, resulting in higher earnings in the third quarter when electric loads are typically higher than in the other three quarters of the year. We discuss this decoupling mechanism and its effects further in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Under the IRA, beginning in 2023, the scope of projects eligible for investment tax credits was expanded to include standalone energy storage projects. The IRA also provided an election that prospectively permits investment tax credits related to standalone energy storage projects to be returned to utility customers over a period that is shorter than the life of the applicable asset. Under this election, SDG&E recorded a regulatory liability to offset these investment tax credits, which reduced SDG&E’s and Sempra’s ETR in 2023.
In April 2023, the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2023-15, which provides a safe harbor method of accounting for gas repairs expenditures. As a result of this Revenue Procedure, SoCalGas updated its assessment of prior years’ unrecognized income tax benefits and, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, recorded an income tax benefit of $43 million for previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures. SoCalGas recorded an associated regulatory liability for the portion that will benefit customers in the future. We are assessing the potential future impacts of this Revenue Procedure.
Sempra
In the three months ended September 30, 2023, Sempra’s income tax benefit compared to income tax expense in the same period in 2022 was primarily due to:
▪$49 million income tax benefit in 2023 compared to $4 million income tax benefit in 2022 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico;
▪$23 million income tax benefit in 2023 associated with the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes; and
▪income tax benefit in 2023 from the recognition of investment tax credits from standalone energy storage projects; offset by
▪$21 million income tax benefit in 2022 associated with charges relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak; and
▪higher pretax income.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Sempra’s income tax expense increased by $64 million (15%) compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to:
▪$203 million income tax expense in 2023 compared to $80 million income tax expense in 2022 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico;
▪$60 million income tax benefit in 2022 associated with charges relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak;
▪$30 million income tax benefit in 2022 from changes to a valuation allowance against certain tax credit carryforwards;
▪$11 million lower income tax benefit from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes; and
▪higher pretax income; offset by
▪$120 million deferred income tax expense in 2022 associated with the change in our indefinite reinvestment assertion related to our foreign subsidiaries;
▪$43 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the recognition of previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures; and
▪income tax benefit in 2023 from the recognition of investment tax credits from standalone energy storage projects.
We discuss the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and inflation on income taxes below in “Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations.” See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and Notes 1 and 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for further details about our accounting for income taxes and items subject to flow-through treatment.
SDG&E
In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023, SDG&E’s income tax benefit compared to income tax expense in the same period in 2022 was primarily due to:

▪lower pretax income in 2023 compared to 2022 (before charges in 2022 relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak); offset by
▪$60 million income tax benefit in 2022 associated with charges relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak.
Equity Earnings
In the three months ended September 30, 2023, equity earnings increased by $62 million (15%) to $479 million compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to:
▪$48 million at Oncor Holdings driven by:
◦higher revenues attributable to higher customer consumption primarily attributable to weather, updates to transmission billing factors, new base rates implemented in May 2023, interim rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital, and customer growth, offset by
◦higher interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to invested capital, and
◦higher O&M;
▪$9 million at TAG mainly due to higher revenues from new tariffs going into effect in June 2023; and
▪$6 million at IMG mainly due to lower income tax expense.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, equity earnings decreased by $32 million (3%) to $1,086 million compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to:
▪$55 million at Oncor Holdings driven by:
◦higher interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to invested capital,
◦write-off of rate base disallowances in 2023 resulting from the PUCT’s final order in Oncor’s comprehensive base rate review, and
◦higher O&M, offset by
◦higher revenues attributable to updates to transmission billing factors, new base rates implemented in May 2023, customer growth, and interim rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital;
▪$28 million at IMG due to foreign currency effects, including $11 million foreign currency gains in 2022 on IMG’s Mexican peso-denominated loans from its JV owners, which is fully offset in other income (expense), net, and higher interest expense and income tax expense; and
▪$17 million at Cameron LNG JV due to higher project development costs from the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project; offset by
▪$69 million at TAG due to higher revenues, including the cumulative impact of new tariffs going into effect in June 2023, offset by higher income tax expense.
Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
In the three months ended September 30, 2023, earnings attributable to NCI increased by $57 million to $122 million compared to the same period in 2022 due to an increase in SI Partners’ net income.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, earnings attributable to NCI increased by $248 million to $435 million compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to:
▪$157 million increase from an increase in SI Partners’ net income; and
▪$91 million increase from a decrease in our ownership interest in SI Partners and SI Partners subsidiaries.
IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATES ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Because our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico, Ecogas, uses its local currency as its functional currency, revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period for consolidation in Sempra’s results of operations. We discuss further the impact of foreign currency and inflation rates on results of operations, including impacts on income taxes and related hedging activity, in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in the Annual Report.
Foreign Currency Translation
Any difference in average exchange rates used for the translation of income statement activity from year to year can cause a variance in Sempra’s comparative results of operations. In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the change in our earnings as a result of foreign currency translation rates was higher by $1 million and $3 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022.
Transactional Impacts
Income statement activities at our foreign operations and their JVs are also impacted by transactional gains and losses, a summary of which is shown in the table below:

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
OVERVIEW
Sempra
Liquidity
We expect to meet our cash requirements through cash flows from operations, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under or supported by our credit facilities, other incurrences of debt which may include issuing debt securities and obtaining term loans, and other financing transactions which may include issuing equity securities, distributions from our equity method investments, project financing and funding from minority interest owners. We believe that these cash flow sources, combined with available funds, will be adequate to fund our operations in both the short-term and long-term, including to:
▪finance capital expenditures
▪repay debt
▪fund dividends
▪fund contractual and other obligations and otherwise meet liquidity requirements
▪fund capital contribution requirements
▪fund new business or asset acquisitions or start-ups
Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas currently have reasonable access to the money markets and capital markets and are not currently constrained in their ability to borrow money at market rates from commercial banks, under existing revolving credit facilities, through public offerings of debt securities, or through private placements of debt supported by our revolving credit facilities in the case of commercial paper. However, our ability to access these markets or obtain credit from commercial banks outside of our committed revolving credit facilities could become materially constrained if economic conditions worsen or disruptions to or volatility in these markets increase. Debt funding has become less attractive due to the recent rise in both short-term and long-term interest rates. In addition, our financing activities and actions by credit rating agencies, as well as many other factors, could negatively affect the availability and cost of both short-term and long-term debt financing and equity financing. Also, cash flows
from operations may be impacted by the timing of commencement and completion, and potentially cost overruns, of large projects and other material events, such as the settlement of material litigation. If cash flows from operations were to be significantly reduced or we were unable to borrow or obtain other financing under acceptable terms, we would likely first reduce or postpone discretionary capital expenditures (not related to safety/reliability) and investments in new businesses. We monitor our ability to finance the needs of our operating, investing and financing activities in a manner consistent with our goal to maintain our investment-grade credit ratings.
Available Funds
Our committed lines of credit provide liquidity and support commercial paper. Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each have five-year credit agreements expiring in 2028 and Sempra Infrastructure has four committed lines of credit expiring on various dates from 2025 through 2030, and an uncommitted revolving credit facility expiring in 2024.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
AVAILABLE FUNDS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 |
(Dollars in millions) |
| Sempra | | SDG&E | | SoCalGas |
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents(1) | $ | 1,149 | | | $ | 246 | | | $ | 26 | |
Available unused credit(2) | 8,096 | | | 1,500 | | | 779 | |
(1) Amounts at Sempra include $170 held in non-U.S. jurisdictions. We discuss repatriation in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
(2) Available unused credit is the total available on committed and uncommitted lines of credit that we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Because our commercial paper programs are supported by these lines, we reflect the amount of commercial paper outstanding and any letters of credit outstanding as a reduction to the available unused credit.
Short-Term Borrowings
We use short-term debt primarily to meet liquidity requirements, fund shareholder dividends, and temporarily finance capital expenditures, acquisitions or start-ups. SDG&E and SoCalGas use short-term debt primarily to meet working capital needs or to help fund event-specific costs. Commercial paper, lines of credit and a term loan were our primary sources of short-term debt funding in the first nine months of 2023.
We discuss our short-term debt activities in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and below in “Sources and Uses of Cash.”
Long-Term Debt Activities
Significant issuances of and payments on long-term debt in the first nine months of 2023 included the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
LONG-TERM DEBT ISSUANCES AND PAYMENTS |
(Dollars in millions) |
Issuances: | Amount at issuance | | Maturity |
Sempra 5.40% senior unsecured notes | $ | 550 | | | 2026 |

We discuss our long-term debt activities, including the use of proceeds on long-term debt issuances, in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Credit Ratings
We provide additional information about the credit ratings of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Part II – Item 2. MD&A – Capital Resources and Liquidity” in the Annual Report.
The credit ratings of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas remained at investment grade levels in the first nine months of 2023.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
CREDIT RATINGS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 | | | | |
| | | | | |
| Sempra | | SDG&E | | SoCalGas |
Moody’s | Baa2 with a stable outlook | | A3 with a stable outlook | | A2 with a stable outlook |
S&P | BBB+ with a stable outlook | | BBB+ with a stable outlook | | A with a negative outlook |
Fitch | BBB+ with a stable outlook | | BBB+ with a stable outlook | | A with a stable outlook |
A downgrade of Sempra’s or any of its subsidiaries’ credit ratings or rating outlooks may, depending on the severity, result in the imposition of financial or other burdensome covenants or a requirement for collateral to be posted in the case of certain financing arrangements and may materially and adversely affect the market prices of their equity and debt securities, the rates at which borrowings are made and commercial paper is issued, and the various fees on their outstanding credit facilities. This could make it more costly for Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra’s other subsidiaries to issue debt securities, to borrow under credit facilities and to raise certain other types of financing.
Sempra has agreed that, if the credit rating of Oncor’s senior secured debt by any of the three major rating agencies falls below BBB (or the equivalent), Oncor will suspend dividends and other distributions (except for contractual tax payments), unless otherwise allowed by the PUCT. Oncor’s senior secured debt was rated A2, A+ and A at Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, at September 30, 2023.
Loans to/from Affiliates
At September 30, 2023, Sempra had $308 million in loans due to unconsolidated affiliates.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
The IRA was signed into law in August 2022. The IRA includes tax credits and other incentives for energy and climate initiatives and introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. We do not currently expect the IRA to have a material adverse impact on Sempra’s, SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. We will continue to assess the impacts of the IRA as the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS issue guidance on tax implementation, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and DOE issue guidance on energy and climate initiatives.
Sempra California
SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ operations have historically provided relatively stable earnings and liquidity. Their future performance and liquidity will depend primarily on the ratemaking and regulatory process, environmental regulations, economic conditions, actions by legislators, litigation and the changing energy marketplace, as well as other matters described in this report. SDG&E and SoCalGas expect that the available unused funds from their credit facilities described above, which also supports their commercial paper programs, cash flows from operations, and other incurrences of debt including issuing debt securities and obtaining term loans will continue to be adequate to fund their respective current operations and planned capital expenditures. SDG&E and SoCalGas manage their capital structures and pay dividends when appropriate and as approved by their respective boards of directors.
As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, changes in regulatory balancing accounts for significant costs at SDG&E and SoCalGas, particularly a change between over- and undercollected status, may have a significant impact on cash flows. These changes generally represent the difference between when costs are incurred and when they are ultimately recovered or refunded in rates through billings to customers.
CPUC Cost of Capital
As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the CPUC approved the cost of capital for SDG&E and SoCalGas that became effective on January 1, 2023 and will remain in effect through December 31, 2025, subject to the CCM. The CPUC has issued a ruling to initiate a second phase of this cost of capital proceeding to evaluate potential modifications to the CCM.
The CCM applies in the interim years between required cost of capital applications and considers changes in the cost of capital based on changes in interest rates using the applicable utility bond index published by Moody’s (the CCM benchmark rate) for each 12-month period ending September 30 (the measurement period). The CCM benchmark rate is the basis of comparison to determine if the CCM is triggered, which occurs if the change in the applicable Moody’s utility bond index relative to the CCM benchmark rate is larger than plus or minus 1.000% at the end of the measurement period. The index applicable to SDG&E and SoCalGas is based on each utility’s credit rating. For the measurement period that ended on September 30, 2023, SDG&E’s CCM benchmark rate was 4.367% based on Moody’s Baa- utility bond index and SoCalGas’ CCM benchmark rate was 4.074% based on Moody’s A- utility bond index. SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ average bond index rates for the period from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 were more than 1.000% above their respective CCM benchmark rates, which triggered the CCM. Subject to regulatory approval, the CCM trigger would increase the authorized rate of return for SDG&E to 7.67% (including the cost of debt to 4.34% and return on equity to 10.65%) and increase the authorized rate of return for SoCalGas to 7.67% (including the cost of debt to 4.54% and return on equity to 10.50%), effective January 1, 2024.
SDG&E
Wildfire Fund
The carrying value of SDG&E’s Wildfire Fund asset totaled $310 million at September 30, 2023. We describe the Wildfire Legislation and SDG&E’s commitment to make annual shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund through 2028 in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
SDG&E is exposed to the risk that the participating California electric IOUs may incur third-party wildfire costs for which they will seek recovery from the Wildfire Fund with respect to wildfires that have occurred since enactment of the Wildfire Legislation in July 2019. In such a situation, SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record an impairment charge against earnings when available coverage is reduced due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs. Pacific Gas and Electric Company has indicated that it will seek reimbursement from the Wildfire Fund for losses associated with the Dixie Fire, which burned from July 2021 through October 2021 and was reported to be the largest single wildfire (measured by acres burned) in California history. If any California electric IOU’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire, it could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra’s financial condition and results of operations up to the carrying value of our Wildfire Fund asset, with additional potential material exposure if SDG&E’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire. In addition, the Wildfire Fund could be completely exhausted due to fires in the other California electric IOUs’ service territories, by fires in SDG&E’s service territory or by a combination thereof. In the event that the Wildfire Fund is materially diminished, exhausted or terminated, SDG&E will lose the protection afforded by the Wildfire Fund, and as a consequence, a fire in SDG&E’s service territory could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
SDG&E has entered into PPAs and tolling agreements that are variable interests in unconsolidated entities. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
SoCalGas
Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
Insurance and Accounting and Other Impacts. Since 2015, SoCalGas has incurred significant costs related to the Leak, including costs to defend against and settle civil litigation arising from the Leak. Other than insurance for directors’ and officers’ liability, we have exhausted all of our insurance for this matter. We continue to pursue other sources of insurance coverage for costs related to this matter, but we may not be successful in obtaining additional insurance recovery for any of these costs.
At September 30, 2023, $126 million is accrued in Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $3 million is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These accruals do not include any amounts in excess of what has been estimated to resolve certain matters that we describe in “Litigation” and “Regulatory Proceeding” nor any amounts that may be necessary to resolve threatened litigation, other potential litigation or other costs, in each case to the extent it
is not possible to predict at this time the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the possible costs or a range of possible costs. Further, we are not able to reasonably estimate the possible loss or a range of possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued, which could be significant.
An adverse outcome with respect to (i) the unresolved litigation we describe under “Litigation,” (ii) the unresolved SB 380 OII proceeding we describe under “Regulatory Proceeding,” or (iii) threatened or other potential litigation related to the Leak, in each case that we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability. Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important for service reliability during peak demand periods, including peak electric generation needs in the summer and consumer heating needs in the winter. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important component of SoCalGas’ delivery system. In February 2017, the CPUC opened proceeding SB 380 OII to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region, including considering alternative means for meeting or avoiding the demand for the facility’s services if it were eliminated.
At September 30, 2023, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $993 million. If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed or if future cash flows from its operation were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, we may record an impairment of the facility, which could be material, or we could incur materially higher than expected operating costs and/or be required to make material additional capital expenditures (any or all of which may not be recoverable in rates), and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized.
Sempra Texas Utilities
Oncor relies on external financing as a significant source of liquidity for its capital requirements. In the event that Oncor fails to meet its capital requirements, access sufficient capital, or raise capital on favorable terms to finance its ongoing needs, we may elect to make additional capital contributions to Oncor (as our commitments to the PUCT prohibit us from making loans to Oncor), which could be substantial and reduce the cash available to us for other purposes, increase our indebtedness and ultimately materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. Oncor’s ability to make distributions may be limited by factors such as its credit ratings, regulatory capital requirements, increases in its capital plan, debt-to-equity ratio approved by the PUCT and other restrictions and considerations. In addition, Oncor will not make distributions if a majority of Oncor’s independent directors or any minority member director determines it is in the best interests of Oncor to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements.
Capital Structure and Return on Equity
In April 2023, the PUCT issued a final order in Oncor’s comprehensive base rate review. The final order sets Oncor’s authorized ROE at 9.7%, a decrease from its previously authorized ROE of 9.8%, and maintains Oncor’s authorized regulatory capital structure at 57.5% debt to 42.5% equity. The new rates became effective on May 1, 2023. In June 2023, the PUCT issued an order on rehearing in response to the motions for rehearing filed by Oncor and certain intervenor parties in the proceeding. The order on rehearing made certain technical and typographical corrections to the final order but otherwise affirmed the material provisions of the final order and did not require modification of the rates that went into effect on May 1, 2023. In September 2023, Oncor filed an appeal in Travis County District Court seeking judicial review of certain rate base disallowances and related expense effects of those disallowances in the PUCT’s order on rehearing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement
Our investment in Oncor Holdings is a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Sempra Infrastructure
Sempra Infrastructure expects to fund capital expenditures, investments and operations in part with available funds, including existing credit facilities, and cash flows from operations of the Sempra Infrastructure businesses. We expect Sempra Infrastructure will require additional funding for the development and expansion of its portfolio of projects, which may be financed through a combination of funding from the parent and minority interest owners, bank financing, issuances of debt, project financing, partnering in JVs and asset sales.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Sempra Infrastructure distributed $289 million to minority interest owners and minority interest owners contributed $1,236 million to Sempra Infrastructure.
LNG and Net-Zero Solutions
Cameron LNG Phase 2 Project. Cameron LNG JV is developing a proposed expansion project that would add one liquefaction train with an expected maximum production capacity of approximately 6.75 Mtpa and would increase the production capacity of the existing three trains at the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility by up to approximately 1 Mtpa through debottlenecking activities. The Cameron LNG JV site can accommodate additional trains beyond the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project.
Cameron LNG JV previously received major permits and FTA and non-FTA approvals associated with the potential expansion that included up to two additional liquefaction trains and up to two additional full containment LNG storage tanks. The non-FTA approval for the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project includes, among other things, a May 2026 deadline to commence commercial exports, for which we expect to request an extension. In March 2023, the FERC approved Cameron LNG JV’s request to amend the permits to allow the use of electric drives, instead of gas turbine drives, which would reduce overall emissions. The amendment also allows the design to be changed from a two-train gas turbine expansion to a one-train electric drive expansion along with other design enhancements that, together, are expected to result in a more cost-effective and efficient facility, while also reducing overall GHG emissions.
Sempra Infrastructure and the other Cameron LNG JV members, namely affiliates of TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Japan LNG Investment, LLC, a company jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, have entered into a non-binding HOA for the potential development of the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. The non-binding HOA provides a commercial framework for the proposed project, including the contemplated allocation to SI Partners of 50.2% of the fourth train production capacity and 25% of the debottlenecking capacity from the project under tolling agreements. The non-binding HOA contemplates the remaining capacity to be allocated equally to the existing Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility customers. Sempra Infrastructure plans to sell the LNG corresponding to its allocated capacity from the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project under long-term SPAs prior to making a final investment decision. The ultimate participation in and offtake by Sempra Infrastructure, TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Japan LNG Investment, LLC remain subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the non-binding HOA does not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project.
Sempra Infrastructure, the other Cameron LNG JV members, and Cameron LNG JV have entered into a Phase 2 Project Development Agreement under which Sempra Infrastructure, subject to certain conditions and ongoing approvals by the Cameron LNG JV board, will manage and lead the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project development work until Cameron LNG JV makes a final investment decision.
In April 2022, Cameron LNG JV, upon the unanimous approval of the Cameron LNG JV board, awarded two FEED contracts, one to Bechtel and the other to a joint venture between JGC America Inc. and Zachry Industrial Inc.
In connection with the execution of the Phase 2 Project Development Agreement and the award of the FEED contracts, the Cameron LNG JV board unanimously approved an expansion development budget to fund, subject to the terms of the Phase 2 Project Development Agreement, development work to prepare for a potential final investment decision.
In July 2023, Cameron LNG JV informed Bechtel that it has been selected to perform additional value engineering work on the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project, which we expect will continue through the end of 2023. The parties are negotiating the terms and conditions of a definitive EPC contract for the project. The current arrangement with Bechtel does not commit any party to enter into a definitive EPC contract or to otherwise participate in the project.
Cameron LNG JV has entered into a non-binding MOU with Entergy Louisiana, LLC, a subsidiary of Entergy Corporation, to negotiate the terms and conditions for a new electric service agreement intended to reduce Cameron LNG JV’s scope 2 emissions from the electricity it purchases from Entergy Louisiana, LLC. The non-binding MOU sets forth a framework for Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Cameron LNG JV to finalize and sign a minimum 20-year agreement for the procurement of new renewable generation resources in Louisiana, subject to the approval of the renewable tariff by the Louisiana Public Service Commission. The ultimate arrangement between Cameron LNG JV and Entergy Louisiana, LLC remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the non-binding MOU does not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the proposed electric services agreement.
Sempra Infrastructure has entered into a non-binding HOA for the negotiation and potential finalization of a definitive 20-year SPA with ORLEN for 2 Mtpa of LNG offtake from the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. The ultimate participation in and offtake from the proposed project remains subject to negotiation and finalization of a definitive agreement, among other factors, and the non-binding HOA does not commit any party to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed project. Sempra Infrastructure also entered into a non-binding HOA with Williams for the negotiation of potential LNG offtake from, and feed gas supply to, the PA LNG Phase 2 project and Cameron LNG Phase 2 project that are under development, as well as a
potential strategic JV related to the existing Cameron Interstate Pipeline and the proposed Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. The term of this non-binding HOA ended in March 2023.
Expansion of the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility beyond the first three trains is subject to certain restrictions and conditions under the JV project financing agreements, including among others, scope restrictions on expansion of the project unless appropriate prior consent is obtained from the existing project lenders. Under the Cameron LNG JV equity agreements, the expansion of the project requires the unanimous consent of all the partners, including with respect to the equity investment obligation of each partner. Working under the framework established in the Phase 2 Project Development Agreement, Sempra Infrastructure and the other Cameron LNG JV members are investing additional time upfront to reduce construction risk and project costs and better optimize the construction schedule. We expect this process to continue through the end of 2023 and expect to be in a position to make a final investment decision in 2024, subject to executing an EPC contract, securing project financing, and extending the commercial export deadline under the project’s non-FTA approval.
Development of the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; reaching unanimous agreement with our partners to proceed; obtaining, modifying and maintaining permits and regulatory approvals; sufficiently reducing construction risks and project costs; securing certain consents under the existing financing agreements and obtaining sufficient new financing; negotiating, completing and maintaining suitable commercial agreements, including definitive EPC, tolling and governance agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
ECA LNG Phase 1 Project. SI Partners owns an 83.4% interest in ECA LNG Phase 1, and an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE owns the remaining 16.6% interest. ECA LNG Phase 1 is constructing a one-train natural gas liquefaction facility at the site of Sempra Infrastructure’s existing ECA Regas Facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 Mtpa and an initial offtake capacity of 2.5 Mtpa. We do not expect the construction or operation of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project to disrupt operations at the ECA Regas Facility. We expect the ECA LNG Phase 1 project to commence commercial operations in the summer of 2025.
We received authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. ECA LNG Phase 1 has definitive 20-year SPAs with an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE for approximately 1.7 Mtpa of LNG and with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for approximately 0.8 Mtpa of LNG.
In February 2020, we entered into an EPC contract with Technip Energies for the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. Since reaching a positive final investment decision with respect to the project in November 2020, Technip Energies has been working to construct the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. We estimate the total price of the EPC contract to be approximately $1.5 billion, with capital expenditures approximating $2 billion including capitalized interest and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates.
ECA LNG Phase 1 has a five-year loan agreement with a syndicate of seven external lenders that matures in December 2025 for an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.3 billion, of which $782 million was outstanding at September 30, 2023. Proceeds from the loan are being used to finance the cost of construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. We discuss the details of this loan in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including maintaining permits and regulatory approvals; construction delays; negotiating, completing and maintaining suitable commercial agreements, including definitive gas supply and transportation agreements; the impact of recent and proposed changes to the law in Mexico; as we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, an unfavorable decision on certain property disputes and permit challenges that could materially adversely affect construction of this project; and other factors associated with the project and its construction. An unfavorable outcome with respect to any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects, including the impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
ECA LNG Phase 2 Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing a second, large-scale natural gas liquefaction project at the site of its existing ECA Regas Facility. We expect the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project to be comprised of two trains and one LNG storage tank and produce approximately 12 Mtpa of export capacity. We expect that construction of the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project would conflict with the current operations at the ECA Regas Facility, which currently has long-term regasification contracts for 100% of the regasification facility’s capacity through 2028. This makes the decisions on whether, when and how to pursue the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project dependent in part on whether the investment in a large-scale liquefaction facility
would, over the long term, be more beneficial financially than continuing to supply regasification services under our existing contracts.
We received authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project.
We have non-binding MOUs and/or HOAs with Mitsui & Co., Ltd., TotalEnergies SE, and ConocoPhillips that provide a framework for their potential offtake of LNG from the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project and potential acquisition of an equity interest in ECA LNG Phase 2. The ultimate participation in and offtake by these parties remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the non-binding MOUs and/or HOAs do not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project.
Development of the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; obtaining and maintaining permits and regulatory approvals; obtaining financing; negotiating, completing and maintaining suitable commercial agreements, including definitive EPC, equity acquisition, governance, LNG sales, gas supply and transportation agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; the impact of recent and proposed changes to the law in Mexico; the property disputes and permit challenges that we reference in the ECA LNG Phase 1 project discussion above; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
PA LNG Phase 1 Project. Since making a positive final investment decision in March 2023, Sempra Infrastructure is constructing a natural gas liquefaction project on a greenfield site that it owns in the vicinity of Port Arthur, Texas, located along the Sabine-Neches waterway. The PA LNG Phase 1 project will consist of two liquefaction trains, two LNG storage tanks, a marine berth and associated loading facilities and related infrastructure necessary to provide liquefaction services with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 Mtpa and an initial offtake capacity of approximately 10.5 Mtpa. We expect the first and second trains of the PA LNG Phase 1 project to commence commercial operations in 2027 and 2028, respectively.
In April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the PA LNG Phase 1 project facilities, along with certain natural gas pipelines, including the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector and Texas Connector, that could be used to supply feed gas to the liquefaction facility when the project is completed. Sempra Infrastructure received authorizations from the DOE in August 2015 and May 2019 that collectively permit the LNG to be produced from the PA LNG Phase 1 project to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries. In June 2023, Port Arthur LNG submitted an amendment to its FERC order requesting authorization to increase its work force and implement a 24-hours-per-day construction schedule in order to further enhance construction efficiency while reducing temporal impacts to the community and environment in the vicinity of the project. If approved, the amendment would also provide the EPC contractor with more optionality to meet or exceed the project’s construction schedule, subject to the timing of FERC approval of the amendment. The FERC has published a schedule that anticipates the issuance of an environmental assessment for the project in December 2023.
Sempra Infrastructure has definitive SPAs for LNG offtake from the PA LNG Phase 1 project with:
▪an affiliate of ConocoPhillips for a 20-year term for 5 Mtpa of LNG, as well as a natural gas supply management agreement whereby an affiliate of ConocoPhillips will manage the feed gas supply requirements for the PA LNG Phase 1 project.
▪RWE Supply & Trading GmbH, a subsidiary of RWE AG, for a 15-year term for 2.25 Mtpa of LNG.
▪INEOS for a 20-year term for approximately 1.4 Mtpa of LNG.
▪ORLEN for a 20-year term for approximately 1 Mtpa of LNG.
▪ENGIE S.A. for a 15-year term for approximately 0.875 Mtpa of LNG.
In February 2020, we entered into an EPC contract, as amended and restated in October 2022, with Bechtel for the PA LNG Phase 1 project. In March 2023, we issued a final notice to proceed under the EPC contract, which has an estimated price of approximately $10.7 billion after change orders. We estimate the capital expenditures for the PA LNG Phase 1 project will be approximately $13 billion including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates.
As we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in March 2023, an indirect subsidiary of SI Partners completed the sale of an indirect 30% NCI in the PA LNG Phase 1 project to an affiliate of ConocoPhillips for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $254 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. We used the proceeds from this sale for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. In connection with this sale, both SI Partners and ConocoPhillips provided guarantees relating to their respective affiliate’s commitment to make its pro rata equity share of capital contributions to fund 110% of the development budget of the PA LNG Phase 1 project, in an aggregate amount of up to $9.0 billion. SI Partners’ guarantee covers 70% of this amount plus enforcement costs of its guarantee.
As we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in September 2023, an indirect subsidiary of SI Partners completed the sale of an indirect 42% NCI in the PA LNG Phase 1 project to KKR Denali for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $984 million, including its pro rata equity share of development costs incurred prior to the closing that exceeded $439 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. We intend to use the proceeds from this sale for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.
Upon closing the sale of NCI to KKR Denali, Sempra holds an indirect interest in the PA LNG Phase 1 project of 19.6%.
As we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into a seven-year term loan facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 billion and an initial working capital facility agreement for up to $200 million. The facilities mature on March 20, 2030. Proceeds from the loans will be used to finance the cost of construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. At September 30, 2023, $243 million of borrowings were outstanding under the term loan facility agreement.
Construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including maintaining and modifying permits and regulatory approvals; construction delays; negotiating, completing and maintaining suitable commercial agreements, including definitive gas supply and transportation agreements; and other factors associated with the project and its construction. An unfavorable outcome with respect to any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects, including the impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
PA LNG Phase 2 Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing a second phase of the natural gas liquefaction project that we expect will be a similar size to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. We are progressing the development of the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project, while continuing to evaluate overall opportunities to develop the entirety of the Port Arthur site as well as potential design changes that could reduce overall emissions, including a facility design utilizing renewable power sourcing and other technological solutions.
In September 2023, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project, including the potential addition of up to two liquefaction trains. In February 2020, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the DOE to permit LNG produced from the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries.
Sempra Infrastructure has entered into a non-binding HOA for the negotiation and potential finalization of a definitive SPA with INEOS for approximately 0.2 Mtpa of LNG offtake from the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project. The ultimate participation in and offtake from the proposed project remains subject to negotiation and finalization of a definitive agreement, among other factors, and the non-binding HOA does not commit any party to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed project.
Development of the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; identifying suitable project and equity partners; obtaining and maintaining permits and regulatory approvals; obtaining financing; negotiating, completing and maintaining suitable commercial agreements, including definitive EPC, equity acquisition, governance, LNG sales, gas supply and transportation agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Vista Pacifico LNG Liquefaction Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing the Vista Pacifico LNG project, a potential natural gas liquefaction, storage, and mid-scale export facility proposed to be located in the vicinity of Topolobampo in Sinaloa, Mexico, under a non-binding MOU with the CFE that contemplates the negotiation of definitive agreements that would cover development of the Vista Pacifico LNG project. The proposed LNG export terminal would be supplied with U.S. natural gas and would use excess natural gas and pipeline capacity on existing pipelines in Mexico with the intent of helping to meet growing demand for natural gas and LNG in the Mexican and Pacific markets.
Sempra Infrastructure received authorization from the DOE to permit the export of U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and for LNG produced from the proposed Vista Pacifico LNG facility to be re-exported to all current and future FTA countries and non-FTA countries.
In March 2022, TotalEnergies SE and Sempra Infrastructure entered into a non-binding MOU that contemplates TotalEnergies SE potentially contracting approximately one-third of the long-term export production of the proposed Vista Pacifico LNG project and potentially participating as a minority partner in the project.
The ultimate participation in and offtake from the proposed project remain subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the non-binding MOUs do not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the project.
Development of the proposed Vista Pacifico LNG project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; identifying suitable project and equity partners; obtaining and maintaining permits and regulatory approvals; obtaining financing; negotiating, completing and maintaining suitable commercial agreements, including definitive EPC, equity acquisition, governance, LNG sales, gas supply and transportation agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; the impact of recent and proposed changes to the law in Mexico; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Hackberry Carbon Sequestration Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing the potential Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project near Hackberry, Louisiana. This proposed project under development is designed to permanently sequester carbon dioxide from the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility and the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. In the third quarter of 2021, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the EPA for a Class VI carbon injection well to advance this project.
In May 2022, Sempra Infrastructure, TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation signed a Participation Agreement for the development of the proposed Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project. In May 2023, the Participation Agreement was amended and restated in connection with ongoing progress of the work program and budget for the proposed project. The Participation Agreement contemplates that the combined Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility and proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project would potentially serve as the anchor source for the capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide by the proposed project. It also provides the basis for the parties to acquire an equity interest by entering into a JV with Sempra Infrastructure for the Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project. In addition to the amended and restated Participation Agreement, in May 2023, Sempra Infrastructure and Cameron LNG JV entered into a non-binding HOA, which sets forth a framework for further development of the Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project.
Development of the proposed Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; obtaining required consents from the Cameron LNG JV members; identifying suitable project and equity partners; obtaining and maintaining permits and regulatory approvals; obtaining financing; negotiating, completing and maintaining suitable commercial agreements, including definitive EPC, equity acquisition and governance agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. Our investment in Cameron LNG JV is a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2021, Sempra provided a promissory note, which constitutes a guarantee, for the benefit of Cameron LNG JV with a maximum exposure to loss of $165 million. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of Cameron LNG JV’s debt, scheduled to occur in 2039, or replenishment of the amount withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA. We discuss this guarantee in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement, which contains a guarantee and represents a variable interest, for the benefit of CFIN with a maximum exposure to loss of $979 million. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of the guaranteed debt by 2039, including repayment following an event in which the guaranteed debt is put to Sempra. We discuss this guarantee in Notes 1, 5 and 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Energy Networks
Sonora Pipeline. Sempra Infrastructure’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two segments, the Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment and the Guaymas-El Oro segment. Each segment has its own service agreement with the CFE.
A portion of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora natural gas pipeline crosses into territory owned by the Yaqui tribe who, with the exception of some members living in the Bácum community, granted its consent and a right-of-way easement agreement for the pipeline in its territory. Following the start of commercial operations of the Guaymas-El Oro segment, Sempra Infrastructure reported damage to the pipeline in the Yaqui territory that has made that section inoperable since August 2017. Legal challenges raised by representatives of the Bácum community, which we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, have prevented Sempra Infrastructure from making repairs to put the pipeline back in service. Such legal challenges were definitively resolved in March 2023 based on the agreement by the CFE and Sempra Infrastructure to re-route the portion of the pipeline that is in the Yaqui territory.
Discussions with the CFE regarding the future of the pipeline are ongoing in accordance with a non-binding MOU announced in January 2022 that, among other matters, addresses efforts to proceed with re-routing a portion of the pipeline, which will require either an extension of the service start date, as discussed below, or a separate definitive arrangement between Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE concerning the restarting of service on the pipeline. In July 2022, Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement that establishes a framework for a JV between the parties to work on restarting service on
the pipeline, including the potential re-routing of a portion of the pipeline. This agreement is subject to a number of conditions to be satisfied before it becomes effective, including regulatory and corporate authorizations.
In September 2019, Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE reached an agreement to modify the tariff structure and extend the term of the contract by 10 years. Under the revised agreement, the CFE will resume making payments only when the damaged section of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline is back in service. If the parties do not agree on a definitive arrangement to re-route a portion of the pipeline or the parties do not agree on a new service start date by November 30, 2023, Sempra Infrastructure retains the right to terminate the contract and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profits.
At September 30, 2023, Sempra Infrastructure had $411 million in PP&E, net, related to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline, which could be subject to impairment if Sempra Infrastructure is unable to re-route a portion of the pipeline (which has not been agreed to by the parties, but is subject to negotiation pursuant to a non-binding MOU and a Shareholders’ Agreement, as described above) and resume operations or if Sempra Infrastructure terminates the contract and is unable to obtain recovery, which in each case could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Refined Products Terminals. In May 2022, Sempra Infrastructure substantially completed construction of a terminal for the receipt, storage, and delivery of refined products in Topolobampo, at which time commissioning activities commenced. We expect the Topolobampo terminal will commence commercial operations in the first half of 2024, subject to receipt of the CRE’s approval of the regulated rates.
Sempra Infrastructure is also developing terminals for the receipt, storage, and delivery of refined products in the vicinity of Manzanillo and Ensenada.
Development and construction of refined products terminals is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. Sempra Infrastructure has begun the procurement and engineering activities related to the construction of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector, a 72-mile pipeline connecting the PA LNG Phase 1 project to Gillis, Louisiana. In April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector, which will be used to supply feed gas to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. In July 2023, Sempra Infrastructure filed a limited amendment application with the FERC to implement construction process enhancements and minor modifications to several discrete sections of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. These modifications are intended to decrease environmental impacts, accommodate landowner routing requests and enhance construction procedures. The FERC has published a schedule that anticipates the issuance of an environmental assessment for the project in February 2024. We expect the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector to be ready for service ahead of the PA LNG Phase 1 project’s gas requirements. We estimate the capital expenditures for the project will be approximately $1 billion, including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates.
Development and construction of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Louisiana (LA) Storage. Sempra Infrastructure has begun the procurement and engineering activities related to the construction of LA Storage, a 12.5 Bcf salt dome natural gas storage facility to support the PA LNG Phase 1 project. The construction includes an 11-mile pipeline that will connect to the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. In September 2022, the FERC approved the development of the project. We expect LA Storage to be ready for service in time to support the needs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. We estimate the capital expenditures for the project will be approximately $300 million, including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates.
Development and construction of LA Storage is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Legal and Regulatory Matters
See Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report for discussions of the following legal and regulatory matters affecting our operations in Mexico:
Energía Costa Azul
One or more unfavorable final decisions on these land disputes or environmental and social impact permit challenges could materially adversely affect our existing natural gas regasification operations and proposed natural gas liquefaction projects at the site of the ECA Regas Facility and have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Regulatory and Other Actions by the Mexican Government
Sempra Infrastructure and other parties affected by these amendments to Mexican law have challenged them by filing amparo and other claims, some of which remain pending. An unfavorable decision on one or more of these amparo or other challenges, the impact of the amendments that have become effective (due to unsuccessful amparo challenges or otherwise), or the possibility of future reforms to the energy industry through additional amendments to Mexican laws, regulations or rules (including through amendments to the constitution) may impact our ability to operate our facilities at existing levels or at all, may result in increased costs for Sempra Infrastructure and its customers, may adversely affect our ability to develop new projects, may result in decreased revenues and cash flows, and may negatively impact our ability to recover the carrying values of our investments in Mexico, any of which may have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

Having reached a positive final investment decision for the PA LNG Phase 1 project and Oncor having received a final order from the PUCT in its comprehensive base rate review, we have updated our expected capital expenditures and investments from what we disclosed in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Capital Resources and Liquidity” in the Annual Report. From 2023 through 2027, we expect to make aggregate capital expenditures and investments of approximately $38.6 billion, subject to the factors described below, which could cause these estimates to vary substantially. Capital expenditure amounts include capitalized interest and AFUDC related to debt.
When (i) including Sempra’s proportionate ownership interest in expected capital expenditures at unconsolidated equity method investees while excluding Sempra’s expected capital contributions to those unconsolidated equity method investees and (ii)
excluding NCI’s proportionate ownership interest in expected capital expenditures at Sempra and at unconsolidated equity method investees, we expect capital expenditures from 2023 through 2027 to total $40 billion. This $40 billion expectation reflects an increase compared to the aggregate capital expenditures, calculated in the same manner, that we forecasted in 2017 for the period from 2017 through 2021, which was $15 billion. We further expect a 10% to 20% utility-focused increase above this $40 billion amount when we update our capital expenditures plan for 2024 through 2028.
Our utilities represent approximately 90% of this $40 billion capital expenditures plan. We expect this significant capital investment in transmission and distribution improvements at our regulated public utilities to increase our utilities’ rate base, which has grown approximately 3.2 times from 2017 to 2022, based on a rate base of $8.5 billion and $5.5 billion at SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively, in 2017 compared to $13.8 billion, $10.5 billion, $20.7 billion, and $256 million at SDG&E, SoCalGas, Oncor, and Sharyland Utilities, L.L.C., respectively, in 2022. For SDG&E and SoCalGas, rate base is the value of assets on which SDG&E and SoCalGas are permitted to earn a specified rate of return in accordance with rules set by regulatory agencies, including the CPUC and, for SDG&E, the FERC, which is calculated using a 13-month weighted average in accordance with CPUC methodology as adopted in rate-setting proceedings. For Oncor and Sharyland Utilities, L.L.C., rate base represents the total estimated invested capital, as adjusted in accordance with PUCT rules, at the end of the previous calendar year as reported in the Earnings Monitoring Report filed with the PUCT on an annual basis.
In 2023, we expect to make capital expenditures and investments of approximately $9.4 billion, which is an increase from the $5.7 billion projected in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Capital Resources and Liquidity” in the Annual Report. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $3.4 billion at Sempra Infrastructure primarily related to the PA LNG Phase 1 project, an increase of $200 million at SDG&E related to energy storage projects and an increase of $100 million at Sempra Texas Utilities. We expect the majority of our capital expenditures and investments in 2023 will relate to construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project, ECA LNG Phase 1 project and natural gas pipelines at Sempra Infrastructure, and transmission and distribution improvements at our regulated public utilities.
Our level of capital expenditures and investments in the next few years may vary substantially and will depend on, among other things, the cost and availability of financing, regulatory approvals, changes in tax law and business opportunities providing desirable rates of return. See “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report for a discussion of these and other factors that could affect future levels of our capital expenditures and investments. We intend to finance our capital expenditures in a manner that will maintain our investment-grade credit ratings and capital structure, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Management views certain accounting estimates as critical because their application is the most relevant, judgmental and/or material to our financial position and results of operations, and/or because they require the use of material judgments and estimates. We discuss critical accounting estimates in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A” in the Annual Report.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
We discuss any recent accounting pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements and/or disclosures in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We provide disclosure regarding derivative activity in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We discuss our market risk and risk policies in detail in “Part II – Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Annual Report.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK
Sempra Infrastructure is exposed to commodity price risk indirectly through its LNG, natural gas pipelines and storage, and power-generating assets. In the first nine months of 2023, a hypothetical 10% change in commodity prices would have resulted in
a change in the fair value of our commodity-based natural gas and electricity derivatives of $16 million at September 30, 2023 compared to $24 million at December 31, 2022.
The one-day value at risk for SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ commodity positions were $2 million and $14 million, respectively, at September 30, 2023 compared to $25 million and $2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022.
INTEREST RATE RISK

An interest rate risk sensitivity analysis measures interest rate risk by calculating the estimated changes in earnings attributable to common shares (but disregarding capitalized interest and impacts on equity earnings from debt at our equity method investees) that would result from a hypothetical change in market interest rates. Earnings attributable to common shares are affected by changes in interest rates on short-term debt and variable-rate long-term debt. If weighted-average interest rates on short-term debt outstanding at September 30, 2023 increased or decreased by 10%, the change in earnings attributable to common shares over the 12-month period ending September 30, 2024 would be approximately $7 million. If interest rates increased or decreased by 10% on all variable-rate long-term debt at September 30, 2023, after considering the effects of interest rate swaps, the change in earnings attributable to common shares over the 12-month period ending September 30, 2024 would be approximately $4 million.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK AND INFLATION EXPOSURE
We discuss our foreign currency exchange rate risk and inflation exposure in “Part I – Item 2. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in this report and in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in the Annual Report. At September 30, 2023, there were no significant changes to our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk since December 31, 2022.
In 2022 and 2023 to date, SDG&E and SoCalGas have experienced inflationary pressures from increases in various costs, including the cost of natural gas, electric fuel and purchased power, labor, materials and supplies, as well as availability of labor and materials. Sempra Texas Utilities has experienced increased costs of labor and materials and does not have specific regulatory mechanisms that allow for recovery of higher costs due to inflation; rather, recovery is limited to rate updates through capital trackers and base rate reviews, which may result in partial non-recovery due to the regulatory lag. If such costs continue to be subject to significant inflationary pressures and we are not able to fully recover such higher costs in rates or there is a delay in recovery, these increased costs may have a significant effect on Sempra’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Sempra Infrastructure has experienced inflationary pressures from increases in various costs, including the cost of labor, materials and supplies. Sempra Infrastructure generally secures long-term contracts that are U.S. dollar-denominated or referenced and are periodically adjusted for market factors, including inflation, and Sempra Infrastructure generally enters into lump-sum contracts for its large construction projects in which much of the risk during construction is absorbed or hedged by the EPC contractor. If additional costs become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully recover such higher costs through contractual adjustments for inflation, which may have a significant effect on Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in their respective reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to the management of each company, including each respective principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating these controls and procedures, the management of each company recognizes that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives; therefore, the management of each company applies judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officers and principal financial officers of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas, each such company’s management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on these evaluations, the principal executive officers and principal financial officers of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas concluded that their respective company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of such date.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There have been no changes in Sempra’s, SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, any such company’s internal control over financial reporting.

2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan
(As Amended and Restated Effective
October 30, 2023)
Sempra
2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Article 1. Establishment, Purpose, and Duration
1.1 Establishment. Sempra, a California corporation (the “Company”), has established an incentive compensation plan to be known as the Sempra 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as set forth in this document. This Plan was previously approved by the Board of Directors of Sempra and the shareholders of Sempra. This Plan became effective on May 10, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), and shall remain in effect as provided in Section 1.3 hereof.
This Plan permits the grant of Stock Options (including both Nonqualified Stock Options and Incentive Stock Options), Stock Appreciation Rights, Full Value Awards (including restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock awards, performance awards, and stock payment awards), Dividend Equivalent Awards and Cash-Based Awards.
The following provisions constitute an amendment, restatement, and continuation of the Plan as of October 30, 2023.
1.2 Purpose of Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide compensation awards to Employees and Directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries that align the interests of such Employees and Directors with the interests of the Company and its shareholders. Further purposes of the Plan are to permit the Company and its Subsidiaries to attract and retain Employees and Directors, to provide Employees and Directors with an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company, and to reward good performance.
1.3 Duration of Plan. Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the Plan shall terminate ten (10) years from the Effective Date. After the Plan is terminated, no Awards may be granted hereunder but Awards previously granted hereunder shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the Plan’s terms and conditions.
1.4 Prior Plan. No further grants shall be made under the Prior Plan from and after the Effective Date of the Plan.

amendment or modification thereof. In addition to (or in lieu of) paper award agreements, electronic, Internet, or other non-paper Award Agreements may be used and electronic, Internet or other non-paper means may be used as the means for the acceptance of Awards (if applicable) and actions thereunder by a Participant.

For purposes of subsection (a) of this Section 2.8, no act, or failure to act, on the Participant’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Participant’s act, or failure to act, was in the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall not be deemed terminated for Cause pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.8 unless and until the Participant shall have been provided with reasonable notice of and, if possible, a reasonable opportunity to cure the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Participant’s employment for Cause.

(c) A “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of assets of the Company” shall not occur under clause (a)(iii) by reason of a sale or disposition by the Company of the assets of the Company to an entity, at least sixty percent (60%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale.
(d) The definition of “Change in Control” shall be limited to the definition of a “change in control event” relating to the Company under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5). A “Change in Control” shall only occur if there is a Change in Control (as determined under the provisions of this Section 2.9 without regard to this paragraph (d)) and a “change in control event” relating to the Company under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) with respect to the applicable Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Committee. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Awards to Nonemployee Directors, the Committee shall be the Board.

(b) if Shares are regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but closing sales prices are not reported, the value of a Share shall be the mean of the high bid and low asked prices for such date (or, if there are no high bid and low asked prices for a Share on the date in question, the high bid and low asked prices for a Share
on the next preceding trading day for which such information exists), as reported in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, or such other source as the Board or the Committee deems reliable; or

For purposes of any Stock Option or SAR that is intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5), FMV shall be not less than the fair market value of a Share determined in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv) and for purposes of any Stock Option that is an ISO, FMV shall be determined in accordance with Code Section 422.
2.21 “Good Reason” shall mean, unless otherwise specified in an applicable employment or severance agreement, change in control severance agreement, change in control severance plan or Award Agreement, the occurrence of any of the following without the written consent of the Participant, unless such act or failure to act is corrected by the Company prior to the date of termination specified in a Participant’s notice of termination (which notice of termination must be provided to the Company within one hundred eighty (180) days of the act or failure to act that the Participant alleges to constitute Good Reason and shall identify a date of termination that in no event shall be less than fifteen (15) days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date such notice of termination is given):
(a) an adverse change in the Participant’s title, authority, duties, responsibilities or reporting lines as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control;

The Participant’s right to terminate the Participant’s employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Participant’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness.

Article 3. Administration
3.1 General. The Committee shall be responsible for administering the Plan, subject to this Article 3 and the other provisions of the Plan. The Committee may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, agents, and other individuals, any of whom may be an Employee and the Committee, the Company, and its officers and Directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions, or valuations of any such individuals. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any grant made hereunder. Determinations by the Committee under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made selectively among Participants. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Participants, the Company, and all other interested parties.
3.2 Authority of the Committee. The Committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary power to conclusively interpret the terms and the intent of the Plan and any Award Agreement or other agreement or document ancillary to or in connection with the Plan, to determine eligibility for Awards, and to adopt such rules, regulations, forms, instruments, and guidelines for administering the Plan as the Committee may deem necessary or proper. Such authority shall include, but not be limited to, selecting Award recipients, establishing all Award terms and conditions, including the terms and conditions set forth in Award Agreements, granting Awards, including in lieu of, or in satisfaction of, compensation earned or to be paid under other compensation plans or agreements of the Company or any Subsidiary, construing any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, and, subject to Articles 14 and 15, adopting modifications and amendments to the Plan or any Award Agreement, including without limitation, any that are necessary to comply with the laws of the countries and other jurisdictions in which the Company and/or its Subsidiaries operate.
3.3 Delegation. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more officers of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or to one or more agents or advisors such administrative duties or powers as it may deem advisable, and the Committee or any individuals to whom it has delegated duties or powers as aforesaid may employ one or more individuals to render advice and assistance with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such individuals may have under the Plan. Without limiting the authority to delegate as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Committee may also authorize one or more officers of the Company to designate Employees to be recipients of Awards, including determining the size of any such Awards; provided, however, that: (a) the Committee shall not delegate such responsibilities to any such officer for Awards granted to an Employee of the Company who is subject to the reporting rules as promulgated in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act, (b) the authorized officer(s) shall report periodically to the Committee regarding the nature and scope of the Awards granted pursuant to the authority delegated, and (c) no such delegation shall be permitted if it is prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. Any delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.
3.4 Nonemployee Director Awards. The Board shall be responsible for administering the Plan as the Committee with respect to Awards for Nonemployee Directors, subject to the provisions of the Plan.
3.5 Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Committee. No member or authorized delegate of the Committee shall be liable to any Person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the administration of the Plan unless attributable to his own fraud or willful misconduct; nor shall the Company or any Subsidiary be liable to any Person for any such action unless attributable to fraud or willful misconduct on the part of a director or employee of the Company or Subsidiary. The Committee, the individual members thereof, and individuals acting as the authorized delegates of the Committee under the Plan, shall be indemnified by the Company against any and all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including legal fees and
expenses) of whatsoever kind and nature that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Committee or its members or authorized delegates by reason of the performance of a Committee function if the Committee or its members or authorized delegates did not act dishonestly or in willful violation of the law or regulation under which such liability, loss, cost or expense arises. This indemnification is in addition and supplemental to any indemnification provided under the Company’s bylaws, agreements or otherwise.
Article 4. Shares Subject to This Plan and Maximum Awards
4.1 Shares Available for Awards. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.4 herein and subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan:
(a) The maximum number of Shares available for issuance to Participants under the Plan on or after August 21, 2023 shall be Eight Million Seven Hundred Eighty Thousand Seventy-Five (8,780,075) Shares.
(b) The maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to ISOs granted under the Plan shall be Fifteen Million Four Hundred Thousand (15,400,000) Shares.
The Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be shares currently authorized but unissued or currently held or subsequently acquired by the Company as treasury shares (to the extent permitted by law), including shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions.
4.2 Share Usage. Any Shares subject to Awards under the Plan that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise, without the issuance of such Shares, or that are subject to an Award that is settled in cash, shall be available again for grant under the Plan. Shares withheld or surrendered in satisfaction of the exercise price or taxes relating to an Award under the Plan shall not constitute shares issued to Participants and shall be again available for grant under the Plan; provided, however, that (a) the full number of Shares subject to a Stock Option, SAR or other Award shall be counted for purposes of determining compliance with the Annual Award Limits set forth in Section 4.3 and (b) no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify as an ISO. For purposes of applying the limitations of Section 4.1, each Share delivered pursuant to an Award shall be counted as covering one Share and shall reduce the number of Shares available for delivery under the Plan by one Share. For the avoidance of doubt, upon stock settlement of SARs, the gross number of Shares subject to the SARs originally granted shall be counted as issued for purposes of the limitations of Section 4.1, regardless of the number of SARs actually issued upon such stock settlement. To the extent expressly provided by an Award Agreement or other governing arrangement under the Plan, any Award may be settled in cash rather than Shares.
4.3 Annual Award Limits. The following limits (each an “Annual Award Limit,” and collectively, “Annual Award Limits”), as adjusted pursuant to Section 4.4, shall apply to grants of Awards under the Plan:
(a) Full Value Awards. The maximum aggregate number of Shares subject to Full Value Awards granted in any Plan Year to any Participant other than a Nonemployee Director shall be One Million (1,000,000).
(b) Dividend Equivalent Awards. The maximum aggregate number of Shares subject to Dividend Equivalent Awards granted in any Plan Year to any Participant other than a Nonemployee Director shall be One Million (1,000,000).
(c) Stock Options and SARs. The maximum aggregate number of Shares subject to Stock Option and SAR Awards granted in any Plan Year to any Participant other than a Nonemployee Director shall be One Million Five Hundred Thousand (1,500,000).
(d) Cash-Based Awards: The maximum aggregate amount awarded with respect to Cash-Based Awards to any Participant other than a Nonemployee Director in any Plan Year shall be Ten Million dollars ($10,000,000).
The sum of any cash compensation or other compensation and the value (determined as of the Grant Date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 or a successor thereto) of any Awards granted to a Nonemployee Director as compensation for services as a Nonemployee Director during any Plan Year may not exceed One Million dollars ($1,000,000). The Committee may make exceptions to this limit for individual Nonemployee Directors in exceptional circumstances, as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, provided that the Nonemployee Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation.
If an Award is denominated in Shares but an equivalent amount of cash is delivered in lieu of delivery of Shares, the foregoing limits of this Section 4.3 shall be applied based on the methodology used by the Committee to convert the number of Shares into cash. If the Awards are denominated in cash but an equivalent amount of stock is delivered in lieu of delivery of cash, the limits of this Section 4.3 shall be applied based on the methodology used by the Committee to convert the amount of cash into Shares. If delivery of Shares or cash is deferred until after the Shares or cash has been earned, any adjustment in the amount delivered to reflect actual or deemed investment experience after the date the Shares or cash is earned shall be disregarded for purposes of the Annual Award Limits.
4.4 Capitalization Adjustments. In the event of any corporate event or transaction (including, but not limited to, a change in the Shares or the capitalization of the Company) such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, separation, partial or complete liquidation, stock dividend, special cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, combination of Shares, exchange of Shares, dividend in-kind, or other like change in capital structure, number of outstanding Shares or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to shareholders of the Company, or any similar corporate event or transaction, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion including in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the Plan and outstanding awards, substitute or adjust, as applicable, the number and kind of shares (or other securities) that may be issued under the Plan or under particular forms of Awards, the number and kind of shares (or other securities) subject to outstanding Awards, the Option Price or SAR Grant Price applicable to outstanding Awards, the Annual Award Limits, and the terms and conditions of outstanding Awards. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee may not take any such action as described in this Section 4.4 that would cause an Award to fail to comply with Code Section 409A or the Treasury Regulations thereunder, to the extent applicable to such Award. The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments, if any, shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Company and all Participants and other parties having any interest in an Award under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, the issuance by the Company of any (a) Shares under the Plan, the Prior Plan (or any predecessor thereto), or under any qualified or nonqualified retirement plan or incentive plan subject to a registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities Exchange Commission under Form S-8 or any successor thereto, (b) Shares or stock of any class, or securities convertible, exchangeable, or exercisable into Shares or stock of any class, in each case, for cash in connection with the sale by the Company in a public or private offering, and (c) Shares or stock of any class upon exercise, exchange, or conversion of convertible, exchangeable, or exercisable securities issued by the Company in any public or private offering, in each case, shall not affect, and no substitution or adjustment by
reason thereof shall be made with respect to, Awards then outstanding, the number or kind of shares (or other securities) that may be issued under the Plan or under the particular forms of Awards, the Option Price or SAR Grant Price applicable to outstanding Awards, the Annual Award Limits, and the terms and conditions of outstanding Awards.
4.5 Substitute Awards. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, without affecting the number of Shares reserved or available hereunder or the Annual Award Limits, the Committee may authorize the grant of substitute Awards under the Plan in connection with any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, acquisition of property or stock, or reorganization upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, subject to compliance with the rules under Code Sections 409A, 422, and 424, as and where applicable.
Article 5. Eligibility and Participation
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine and designate, from time to time, from among the Eligible Individuals those individuals who will be granted one or more Awards under the Plan and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Participant may be granted any Award permitted under the provisions of the Plan and more than one Award may be granted to a Participant. Except as otherwise agreed by the Company and the Participant, or except as otherwise provided in the Plan, an Award under the Plan shall not affect any previous Award under the Plan or an award under any other plan maintained by the Company or the Subsidiaries.
Article 6. Stock Options
6.1 Grant of Stock Options. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Stock Options may be granted to Eligible Individuals at any time and from time to time as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that ISOs may be granted only to Employees of the Company or any Subsidiary. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the grant of each Stock Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award. The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of Stock Options granted to each Participant and in determining the terms and conditions pertaining to such Stock Options that are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, including the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Stock Option following termination of the Participant’s employment with or provision of services to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. The Award Agreement evidencing the grant of a Stock Option shall specify whether the Stock Option is intended to be an ISO or a NQSO.
6.2 Option Price. The Option Price for each grant of a Stock Option under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and shall be specified in the Award Agreement; provided, however, the Option Price must be at least equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the FMV of the Shares as determined on the Grant Date; and provided further that, if any Employee to whom an ISO is granted is a 10% Shareholder, then the Option Price shall be at least equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the FMV of the Shares as determined on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Stock Option granted under the Plan in replacement or substitution for awards under plans and arrangements of the Company or a Subsidiary that are assumed in business combinations may provide for Option Prices that are less than the FMV of the Shares the time of the replacement grants provided that the Committee determines that such Option Price is appropriate to preserve the economic benefit of the award.
6.3 Term of Stock Options. Each Stock Option granted to a Participant shall expire at such time as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant; provided, however, no Stock Option shall be exercisable on or after the tenth (10th) anniversary date of its grant; provided,
however, that in the case of the grant of an ISO to a 10% Shareholder, the term of the Stock Option shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the Grant Date.
6.4 Exercise of Stock Options. Stock Options granted under this Article 6 shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall approve, which terms and restrictions need not be the same for each grant or for each Participant. On the last trading day before an outstanding vested Stock Option expires, if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the unexercised Stock Option exceeds the aggregate Option Price of the unexercised Stock Option by at least $50.00, such Stock Option shall automatically be exercised at the Fair Market Value of a Share on such day, with the number of Shares, less the number of Shares withheld to pay the exercise price and taxes, delivered to the Participant, provided that such Stock Option shall not be so exercised if the Option Price equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on such day.
6.5 Payment. Stock Options granted under this Article 6 shall be exercised by the delivery of a notice of exercise to the Company or an agent designated by the Company, or by complying with any alternative procedures that may be authorized by the Committee, in each case, setting forth the date the Stock Option was granted and the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Option is to be exercised and accompanied by full payment for the Shares. A condition of the issuance of the Shares as to which a Stock Option shall be exercised shall be the payment of the Option Price. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, the Option Price of any Stock Option shall be payable to the Company in full, (a) in cash or its equivalent, (b) by a cashless (broker-assisted) exercise (with such cashless exercise to be subject to terms and conditions, if any, as the Committee may impose, in its sole direction), or (c) by such other methods as are authorized by the Committee in its sole discretion, whether by an Award Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, (i) by tendering (either by actual delivery or attestation) previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the Option Price, (ii) by surrendering Shares otherwise then issuable upon exercise of the Stock Option having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the Option Price, or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing, subject to such terms and conditions, if any, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose. Subject to any governing rules or regulations, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notification of exercise and full payment (including satisfaction of any applicable tax withholding), the Company shall deliver to the Participant the number of Shares purchased under the Stock Option (taking into account, if applicable, any Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise that were surrendered in satisfaction of the exercise price or tax withholding). Unless otherwise directed by the Participant, any Shares issued to the Participant shall be evidenced as book entry shares.
6.6 Post-Exercise Limitations. The Committee, in its discretion, may impose such restrictions, if any, on Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option as it determines to be desirable, including, without limitation, minimum holding requirements, restrictions under the policies of the Company or any Subsidiary, restrictions under applicable law or the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which the Shares are listed or traded, restrictions relating to disposition of the Shares and forfeiture restrictions based on service, performance, Share ownership by the Participant, conformity with the Company’s recoupment or clawback policies, compliance with restrictive covenants and such other factors as the Committee determines to be appropriate.
6.7 Limits on ISOs. In the case of ISOs, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and all Subsidiaries) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as NQSOs to the extent required by Code Section 422. Any Option that is intended to constitute an ISO shall satisfy any other requirements of Code Section 422 and, to the extent such Option does not satisfy such requirements, the Option shall be treated as a NQSO. If any Participant shall make any disposition of Shares issued pursuant to
the exercise of an ISO under the circumstances described in Code Section 421(b) (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), such Participant shall notify the Company of such disposition within ten (10) days thereof.
6.8 No Repricing. Except for either adjustments pursuant to Section 4.4 or reductions of the Option Price approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Option Price for any outstanding Stock Option may not be decreased after the date of grant nor may an outstanding Stock Option granted under the Plan be surrendered to the Company as consideration for the grant of a replacement or substitute Stock Option with a lower Option Price or a SAR with a lower exercise price or a Full Value Award. Except as approved by the Company’s shareholders, in no event shall any Stock Option granted under the Plan be surrendered to the Company in consideration for a cash payment if, at the time of such surrender, the Option Price of the Stock Option is greater than the then current Fair Market Value of a Share.
Article 7. Stock Appreciation Rights
7.1 Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to Eligible Individuals at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the grant of each SAR shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award. The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of SARs granted to each Participant and in determining the terms and conditions pertaining to such SARs that are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, including the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the SAR following termination of the Participant’s employment with or provision of services to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries.
7.2 SAR Grant Price. The SAR Grant Price for each grant of a SAR shall be determined by the Committee and shall be specified in the Award Agreement; provided, however, the SAR Grant Price must be at least equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the FMV of the Shares as determined on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any SAR granted under the Plan in replacement or substitution for awards under plans and arrangements of the Company or a Subsidiary that are assumed in business combinations may provide for SAR Grant Prices that are less than the FMV of the Shares the time of the replacement grants or substitute awards provided that the Committee determines that such SAR Grant Price is appropriate to preserve the economic benefit of the award.
7.3 Term of SAR. Each SAR granted to a Participant shall expire at such time as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant; provided, however, no SAR shall be exercisable on or after the tenth (10th) anniversary date of its grant.
7.4 Exercise of SARs. SARs granted under this Article 7 shall be exercised at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which terms and restrictions need not be the same for each grant or for each Participant. On the last trading day before an outstanding vested SAR expires, if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the unexercised SAR exceeds the aggregate exercise price of the unexercised SAR by at least $50.00, such SAR shall automatically be exercised at the Fair Market Value of a Share on such day, with the number of Shares, less the number of Shares (or value of cash, if applicable) withheld to pay the SAR Grant Price and taxes, delivered to the Participant, provided that such SAR shall not be so exercised if the SAR Grant Price equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on such day.
7.5 Settlement of SARs. Upon the exercise of a SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:
(a) The excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the SAR Grant Price; by
(b) The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.
7.6 Post-Exercise Limitations. The Committee, in its discretion, may impose such restrictions on Shares or cash acquired pursuant to the exercise of a SAR as it determines to be desirable, including, without limitation, minimum holding requirements, restrictions under the policies of the Company or any Subsidiary, restrictions under applicable law or the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which the Shares are listed or traded, restrictions relating to disposition of the Shares and forfeiture restrictions based on service, performance, Share ownership by the Participant, conformity with the Company’s recoupment or clawback policies, compliance with restrictive covenants and such other factors as the Committee determines to be appropriate.
7.7 No Repricing. Except for either adjustments pursuant to Section 4.4 or reductions of the SAR Grant Price approved by the Company’s shareholders, the SAR Grant Price for any outstanding SAR may not be decreased after the date of grant nor may an outstanding SAR granted under the Plan be surrendered to the Company as consideration for the grant of a replacement SAR with a lower SAR Grant Price or a Stock Option with a lower Option Price or a Full Value Award. Except as approved by the Company’s shareholders, in no event shall any SAR granted under the Plan be surrendered to the Company in consideration for a cash payment if, at the time of such surrender, the SAR Grant Price of the SAR is greater than the then current Fair Market Value of a Share.
Article 8. Full Value Awards
8.1 Definition. A “Full Value Award” is a grant of one or more Shares or a right to receive one or more Shares in the future (including restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares, performance-based restricted stock units, and stock payment awards). Such grants may be in consideration of a Participant’s previously performed services or surrender of other compensation that may be due, contingent on the achievement of performance or other objectives (including completion of service) during a specified period, subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon the achievement of one or more goals relating to completion of service by the Participant or achievement of performance or other objectives, and/or may be granted for other purposes and shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies, as determined by the Committee, including provisions relating to dividend or dividend equivalent rights and deferred payment or settlement. Such grants may be made under other arrangements that are treated as subplans of the Plan and, in such case, shall be treated as granted as the grant of an Award under the Plan.
8.2 Terms and Conditions. The Committee shall determine all terms and conditions of Full Value Awards including any Period(s) of Restriction, the number of Shares subject to the Full Value Award, the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to retain the Full Value Award following termination of the Participant’s employment with or provision of services to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine that are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. The Committee may impose such conditions and/or restrictions on any Shares subject a Full Value Award granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable including, without limitation, a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each Share, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance goals, service-based restrictions on vesting following the attainment of the performance goals, service-based restrictions, and/or restrictions under applicable laws or under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are listed or traded, or holding requirements or sale restrictions placed on the Shares by the Company upon vesting or settlement of such Full Value Awards. To the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee,
during any Period(s) of Restriction, the Company may retain in the Company’s possession the certificates representing Shares subject to a Full Value Award until such time as all conditions and/or restrictions applicable to such Shares have been satisfied or lapse.
8.3 Certificate Legend. The certificates for Shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer of such Shares. In addition to any legends placed on certificates pursuant to this Section 8.3 or otherwise as determined by the Committee, each certificate representing Shares granted pursuant to the Plan as a Full Value Award may bear a legend such as the following or as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion:
THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER AND FORFEITURE OR REPURCHASE PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THE SEMPRA 2019 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN, AND IN THE ASSOCIATED AWARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE HOLDER OF THE SHARES AND SEMPRA, A COPY OF EACH OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF SEMPRA.
8.4 Voting Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, during the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares that are subject to a Full Value Award shall be granted the right to exercise full voting rights with respect any shares issued in connection with the Full Value Award, including during any Period of Restriction. A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Shares subject to a Full Value Award unless shares subject to the Full Value Award have been issued and are outstanding.
8.5 Dividends and Other Distributions. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, during the Period of Restriction, a Full Value Award shall be credited with dividends or dividend equivalent rights based on dividends paid with respect to the underlying Shares subject to the Full Value Award assuming that the dividends were reinvested in Shares (and any dividends on such Shares were reinvested in Shares) during such Period of Restriction and otherwise in the manner specified under the terms of the Award; provided, however, that no dividends or dividend equivalent rights shall be paid or settled on Full Value Awards that have not vested or been earned based on the restrictions applicable to the Full Value Award. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine the form of payment of dividends or dividend equivalent rights, including cash, Shares, or Full Value Awards that are subject to restrictions determined by the Committee. In the absence of such determination, dividend equivalent rights shall be paid in Shares.
8.6 Section 83(b) Election. The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement that a Full Value Award is conditioned upon the Participant making or refraining from making an election with respect to the Award under Code Section 83(b), to the extent that such election would apply to the Full Value Award. If a Participant makes an election pursuant to Code Section 83(b) with respect to a Full Value Award, the Participant shall be required to file promptly a copy of such election with the Company.
8.7 Post-Payment or Settlement Restrictions. The Committee, in its discretion, may impose such restrictions on Shares acquired pursuant to the payment or settlement of a Full Value Award as it determines to be desirable, including, without limitation, minimum holding requirements, restrictions under the policies of the Company or any Subsidiary, restrictions under applicable law or the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which the Shares are listed or traded, restrictions relating to disposition of the Shares and forfeiture restrictions based on service, performance, Share ownership by the Participant, conformity with the Company’s
recoupment or clawback policies, compliance with restrictive covenants and such other factors as the Committee determines to be appropriate.
Article 9. Dividend Equivalent Awards
9.1 Grant of Dividend Equivalent Awards. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Dividend Equivalent Awards to Participants with respect to: (a) the Shares subject to another Award or (b) such number of Shares as the Committee shall specify. A Dividend Equivalent Award shall represent the right to receive Shares or cash, determined based on the dividends that a Participant would have received had the Participant held the number of Shares subject to such other Award, or the number of Shares specified by the Committee, as applicable, for all or any portion of the period from the Grant Date of the Dividend Equivalent Award to the date of the vesting, payment, settlement, distribution or expiration of such other Award, as determined by the Committee, or the date specified under the Dividend Equivalent Award, and, to the extent such Divided Equivalent Awards are not distributed or paid currently, assuming that the dividends were reinvested in Shares (and any dividends on such Shares were reinvested in Shares) during such period of reinvestment and otherwise in the manner specified under the terms of the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Dividend Equivalent Award shall be granted with respect to Stock Options or SARs and no Dividend Equivalent Award with respect to a Full Value Award shall be paid or settled with respect to Shares subject to the underlying Full Value Award that have not vested or been earned based on the restrictions applicable to the Full Value Award.
9.2 Form and Timing of Distribution or Payment of Dividend Equivalent Awards. Distribution or payment of the Shares, or payment of the cash value of the Shares, earned pursuant to Dividend Equivalent Awards shall be as determined by the Committee and as evidenced in the Award Agreement (including the Award Agreement relating to another Award with respect to which the Dividend Equivalent Award relates). In the absence of such a determination, a Dividend Equivalent Award shall be paid in Shares. Any Shares issued pursuant to Dividend Equivalent Awards may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee.
Article 10. Cash-Based Awards
10.1 Grant of Cash-Based Awards. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Cash-Based Awards to Participants in such value as the Committee may determine.
10.2 Value of Cash-Based Awards. Each Cash-Based Award shall specify a payment amount or amounts as determined by the Committee. The Committee may establish performance goals in its sole discretion. If the Committee exercises its discretion to establish performance goals, the value of Cash-Based Awards that will be paid out to the Participant will depend on the extent to which the performance goals are met.
Article 11. Transferability of Awards
Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement or otherwise determined at any time by the Committee, no Award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided that the Board or Committee may permit further transferability, on a general or a specific basis, and may impose conditions and limitations on any permitted transferability, but in no event may an Award be transferred for value (as defined in the General Instructions to Form S-8 registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time). Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement or otherwise determined at any time by the Committee, or unless the Board or Committee decides
to permit further transferability, all Awards (other than ISOs) granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant. With respect to those Awards (other than ISOs), if any, that are permitted to be transferred to another individual, references in the Plan to exercise or payment related to such Awards by or to the Participant shall be deemed to include, as determined by the Committee, the Participant’s permitted transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no ISO (or Award that results in a deferral of compensation as defined in Code Section 409A) granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, all ISOs granted to a Participant shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant.
Article 12. Beneficiary Designation
Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his death before he receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such beneficiary designation, benefits remaining unpaid or rights remaining unexercised at the Participant’s death shall be paid to or exercised by the Participant’s executor, administrator, or legal representative.
Article 13. Rights of Participants
13.1 Employment. Nothing in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to terminate any Participant’s employment or service on the Board or to the Company or any Subsidiary at any time or for any reason not prohibited by law, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue his employment or service as a Director for any specified period of time. Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under the Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and, accordingly, subject to Articles 3, 14 and 15, the Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Committee without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. No individual shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under the Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award.
13.2 Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided herein or in an applicable Award Agreement, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares covered by any Award until the date a certificate has been delivered to the Participant or book entries evidencing such Shares have been recorded by the Company or its transfer agent or are otherwise issued and outstanding.
Article 14. Change in Control
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the provisions of this Article 14 shall apply in the event of a Change in Control, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in connection with the grant of an Award and as expressly reflected in the applicable Award Agreement, or unless otherwise provided in an individual severance or employment agreement to which a Participant is a party.
14.1 Replacement Awards. Upon a Change in Control, each then-outstanding Award may be adjusted or substituted in accordance with Section 4.4 (subject to the limitations set forth therein) with an award that meets the criteria set forth in this Section 14.1 (each, a “Replacement Award,” and each adjusted or substituted Award, a “Replaced Award”). An adjusted or substituted award meets the conditions of this Section 14.1 (and hence qualifies as a
Replacement Award) if (a) it is of the same type (e.g., stock option for Stock Option, Full Value Award in the form of restricted stock for a Full Value Award in the form of restricted stock, etc.) as the Replaced Award, (b) it has a value that is approximately the same as, but does not exceed the value of, the Replaced Award, (c) it relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control, (d) if the Participant holding the Replaced Award is subject to U.S. federal income tax under the Code, the tax consequences to such Participant under the Code of the Replacement Award are determined under the same methodology as was applicable to the Replaced Award (subject to any applicable changes in tax laws), and (e) its other terms and conditions are approximately the same but are not more favorable to the Participant holding the Replaced Award than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award (including the provisions that would apply in the event of a subsequent Change in Control). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the preceding sentence are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this Section 14.1 are satisfied will be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may determine the value of Awards and Replacement Awards that are Stock Options by reference to either their intrinsic value or their fair value.
14.2 Full Vesting/Termination. In the event that a Participant does not receive a Replacement Award that meets the conditions set forth in Section 14.1 with respect to any of his or her outstanding Awards upon a Change in Control, each such then-outstanding Award will be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment or other consideration generally provided to shareholders in the applicable transaction equal to the current value of the Award, determined as though the Award was fully vested and exercisable (as applicable) and any restrictions applicable to such Award had lapsed, and any applicable performance goals will be deemed to have been achieved at the greater of target level as of the date of such vesting or the actual performance level had the Performance Period ended on the date of the Change in Control, provided that in the case of a Stock Option or SAR, the amount of such payment may be the excess of the value of the Shares subject to the Stock Option or SAR at the time of the transaction over the Option Price. For the avoidance of doubt, if all Awards hereunder are terminated without any Replacement Awards, then the Company or its successor in the Change in Control may terminate all Awards whose Option Price or SAR Grant Price, as applicable, is less than or equal to the value per Share realized in connection with the Change in Control (without any consideration therefor).
14.3 Termination Post-Change in Control. If a Participant terminates his or her employment for Good Reason, the Participant is involuntarily terminated for reasons other than for Cause, or the Participant’s employment terminates due to the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement, in any case during the three year period commencing on the date of a Change in Control, then (a) all Replacement Awards held by the Participant will become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable and free of restrictions (with any applicable performance goals deemed to have been achieved at the greater of target level as of the date of such vesting or the actual performance level had the Performance Period ended on the date of such vesting) and (b) all Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights held by the Participant immediately before such termination of employment that the Participant also held as of the date of the Change in Control or that constitute Replacement Awards will remain exercisable for not less than three years following such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Rights, whichever period is shorter (provided, however, that if the applicable Award Agreement provides for a longer period of exercisability, that provision will control).
14.4 Dispute Resolution. Unless a Participant is subject to a dispute resolution provision in an individual agreement (other than an Award Agreement) to which a Participant
and the Company or any of its Affiliates are parties, any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the existence of Cause or Good Reason shall be settled pursuant to the dispute resolution provision set forth in the Participant’s applicable Award Agreement(s).
14.5 Code Section 409A. No action shall be taken under this Article 14 that shall cause an Award to fail to comply with Code Section 409A or the Treasury Regulations thereunder, to the extent applicable to such Award.
Article 15. Amendment, Modification, Suspension, and Termination
15.1 Amendment, Modification, Suspension, and Termination. Subject to Section 15.2, the Board or Committee may, at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Plan and any Award Agreement in whole or in part; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 15.2, no termination, amendment, suspension, or modification of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall adversely affect in any material way any outstanding Award previously granted under the Plan without the written consent of the affected Participant; and provided, further that, that without the prior approval of the Company’s shareholders, no amendment of the Plan shall be made without shareholder approval (a) to the provisions of Section 6.8 or 7.7 (relating to Stock Option or SAR repricing), (b) if such amendment would increase the maximum number of Shares available for issuance to Participants under the Plan (except as otherwise permitted under Section 4.4), or (c) if shareholder approval is required by law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, including, but not limited to, the Exchange Act, the Code, and if applicable, the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.
15.2 Amendment to Conform to Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Board or the Committee may amend the Plan or an Award Agreement pursuant to the following:
(a) The Board or the Committee may amend the Plan or an Award Agreement to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or an Award Agreement to any present or future law relating to plans of this or similar nature, and to the administrative regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder. By accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant agrees to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 15.2 to any Award granted under the Plan without further consideration or action.
(b) The Board or the Committee may amend the Plan or an Award Agreement to (i) exempt the Award from the requirements of Code Section 409A or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
Article 16. Withholding
16.1 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, the minimum amount necessary to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event relating to an Award. Except as expressly provided in Section 16.2, the Company shall have the authority to determine the method of withholding in its sole discretion and such withholding method shall be communicated to the Participant.
16.2 Share Withholding. With respect to withholding required upon the exercise of Stock Options or SARs, upon the lapse of restrictions on or settlement, as applicable, of Full Value Awards, or upon the achievement of performance goals related to Awards, or any other taxable event arising as a result of an Award granted hereunder, the Participant may elect to
satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares to which the Participant would otherwise be entitled to receive upon exercise or settlement of the Award (or accepting the surrender of Shares that the Participant already owns) having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum amount necessary to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign taxes required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to such transaction. Subject to the foregoing, the terms upon which Share withholding shall be administered by the Company may be set forth in the Award Agreement.
Article 17. General Provisions
17.1 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.
17.2 Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall include the plural.
17.3 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
17.4 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
17.5 Delivery of Title. The Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver evidence of title for Shares issued under the Plan prior to:
(a) Obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable; and
(b) Completion of any registration or qualification of the Shares under any applicable federal, state or foreign law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable.
17.6 Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance or sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
17.7 Investment Representations. The Committee may require any individual receiving Shares pursuant to an Award under the Plan to represent and warrant in writing that the individual is acquiring the Shares for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares.
17.8 Employees Based Outside of the United States. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws and/or practices in other countries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or have Employees or Directors or to enact provisions desirable for administration or necessary to obtain favorable tax or accounting treatment in such other countries, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (a) determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered by the Plan, (b) determine which
Employees or Directors outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan, (c) subject to Section 15.1, modify or supplement the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Employees or Directors outside the United States (which, in the absence of Committee action to the contrary, may be so modified by an officer of the Company), (d) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures, in each case with respect to Employees and Directors outside of the United States (any such subplans, modifications and/or supplements shall be attached to the Plan as appendices), provided, however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Article 4, except as otherwise permitted under Section 4.4, and (e) take any action, before or after an Award is made to an Employee or Director outside of the United States, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local governmental regulatory exemptions, approvals or practices (which, in the absence of Committee action to the contrary, may be so modified by an officer of the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 17.8, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted (and the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any Shares), that would violate the Exchange Act, the Code, any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law or governing statute or any other applicable law with respect to employees based outside the United States.
17.9 Uncertificated Shares. To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the transfer of Shares, the transfer of such Shares may be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.
17.10 Unfunded Plan. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative, or any other individual. To the extent that any individual acquires a right to receive payments from the Company and/or its Subsidiaries under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts.
17.11 Retirement and Welfare Plans. Neither Awards made under the Plan nor Shares or cash paid pursuant to such Awards, may be included as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s retirement plans (both qualified and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall be taken into account in computing a Participant’s benefit.
17.12 Recoupment/Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise specified by the Committee (including in an Award Agreement), any Awards under the Plan and any Shares or cash issued pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s compensation recovery, clawback, and recoupment policies as in effect from time to time.
17.13 Code Section 409A. It is intended that any Award made under the Plan that results in the deferral of compensation (as defined under Code Section 409A) complies with or is exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A.
(a) To the extent applicable, the Plan and any Award Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, any such
regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. For purposes of the foregoing, with respect to any Award that results in a deferral of compensation as defined in Code Section 409A and that is subject to settlement or payment upon a Participant’s termination of employment shall be settled or paid, as applicable, only if such termination of employment qualifies as a separation from service within the meaning of Code Section 409A.
(b) Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries will have the right to subject any Award that results in a deferral of compensation as defined in Code Section 409A to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment. Except as permitted under Code Section 409A, any Award that results in a deferral of compensation as defined in Code Section 409A may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the Company or any of its affiliates.
(c) If, at the time of a Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), (i) the Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Code Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A, then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, will instead pay it on the first business day of the seventh month after such separation from service.
(d) The time or schedule of payment with respect to any Award that results in the deferral of compensation may be accelerated as permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) to the extent necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B).
(e) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan and grants hereunder to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Code Section 409A, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to the Plan and grants hereunder as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A. In any case, a Participant is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on a Participant or for a Participant’s account in connection with the Plan and grants hereunder (including any taxes and penalties under Code Section 409A), and neither the Company nor any of its affiliates have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold a Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.
17.14 Nonexclusivity of the Plan. The adoption of the Plan shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or Committee to adopt such other compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable for any Participant.
17.15 No Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to: (a) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets or (b) limit the right or power of the Company or a Subsidiary to take any action that such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.
17.16 Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction and Venue. The Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, recipients of an Award under the Plan are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of California, to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to the Plan or any Award Agreement.

THE SEMPRA EMPLOYEE AND DIRECTOR SAVINGS PLAN
(As Amended and Restated Effective as of October 30, 2023)
Effective as of January 1, 2005, Sempra (formerly known as Sempra Energy), a California corporation, established the Sempra Energy 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which was designed to provide supplemental retirement income benefits for certain directors of Sempra and for a select group of management and highly compensated employees of the Company (as defined herein) through deferrals of salary and incentive compensation and employer matching contributions. The Plan has been amended from time to time and, effective as of January 1, 2011, the name of the Plan was changed to “The Sempra Energy Employee and Director Retirement Savings Plan”. Effective as of June 29, 2012, the name of the Plan was changed to “The Sempra Energy Employee and Director Savings Plan”. The Plan was amended and restated effective June 16, 2015 and was subsequently amended and restated effective as of November 10, 2016, November 9, 2017, January 1, 2019, and November 18, 2020. The following provisions constitute an amendment, restatement and continuation of the Plan as in effect immediately prior to October 30, 2023.

ARTICLE III.
CONTRIBUTIONS
3.1 Elections to Defer Compensation
(a) General Rule. Each Eligible Individual may defer Compensation for a Plan Year by filing with the Committee or the Administrator a Deferral Election Form for such Plan Year that conforms to the requirements of this Section 3.1, no later than the last day of the applicable Election Period for such Plan Year, and such deferral election shall become irrevocable on the last day of the applicable Election Period for such Plan Year (or such later date permitted by the Committee or the Administrator consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code). Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, an Eligible Individual who first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan during a Plan Year may elect to defer Compensation for such Plan Year; provided, however, that any such election to defer Compensation for such Plan Year must be filed during the Election Period prior to the effective date of such election, shall be irrevocable when made, and shall be effective only for Compensation that constitutes compensation for services performed during periods during the Plan Year beginning after the effective date of such election. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if an Eligible Individual’s Bonus (or portion thereof) is a performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Committee or the Administrator may permit such Eligible Individual to file an election to defer such Bonus (or such portion thereof), or change such Eligible Individual’s prior election to defer such Bonus (or such portion thereof), no later than the date that is six (6) months before the end of the performance period over which such services are to be performed, under the terms and conditions that may be specified by the Committee or the Administrator, in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, and such deferral election shall become irrevocable on the date that is six (6) months before the end of the performance period.
(b) Special Rules. Notwithstanding the above, the following restrictions apply to deferrals of certain elements of Compensation:
(1) Restricted Stock Units. Each Eligible Individual designated by the Committee as eligible to defer Restricted Stock Units, may elect to defer Restricted Stock Units (or a portion thereof), in accordance with such rules as the Committee may establish, which such rules shall not be inconsistent with the deferral election rules set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 or the distribution provisions of Section 7.1. In order to defer Restricted Stock Units (or a portion thereof), an eligible Participant must file the appropriate Deferral Election Form no later than the election date required under Section 409A of the Code. The Participant’s election to defer Restricted Stock Units (or a portion thereof) shall apply only if the Restricted Stock Units (or portion thereof) constitute a legally binding right to a payment of compensation in a subsequent taxable year and, absent a deferral election, would be treated as a short-term deferral, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any deferral election that does not satisfy the requirements for an initial deferral election under Section 409A of the Code shall be irrevocable when made and shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, applied as if the amount were a deferral of compensation and the scheduled payment date for the amount were the date the substantial risk of forfeiture lapses. Such subsequent deferral election shall be irrevocable when made, shall be made at least twelve (12) months prior to the first date on which Restricted Stock Units are scheduled to be paid (or, in the case of installment payments, twelve (12) months prior to the date on which the first amount is to be
paid), and shall not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made. Such deferral election shall provide that the amount deferred shall be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date the payment of the amount deferred would otherwise have been made (or, in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment as determined under Section 409A of the Code, five (5) years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid); provided, however, that such deferral election may provide that the deferred amounts will be payable upon a change in control event (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) without regard to the five (5) year additional deferral requirement. Deferrals of Restricted Stock Units shall be invested in the Sempra Stock Fund and may not be moved to any other Measurement Fund. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, a Participant may not elect a Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to the deferral of any Restricted Stock Units.
(2) SERP Lump Sum. A Participant may elect to defer a SERP Lump Sum (or a portion thereof), to the extent permitted by the Committee. In order to defer a SERP Lump Sum (or a portion thereof), an eligible Participant must file the appropriate Deferral Election Form no later than the election date required under Section 409A of the Code. The Participant’s election to defer a SERP Lump Sum (or a portion thereof) that does not satisfy the requirements for an initial deferral election under Section 409A of the Code shall satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as a subsequent deferral. Such deferral election shall be irrevocable when made, and shall not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made. Such deferral election shall provide that the amount deferred shall be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date the payment of the amount deferred would otherwise have been made (or, in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, five (5) years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid) in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.
(3) Elective Phantom Share Amounts. A Participant who is a Director and is entitled to receive an initial or annual equity award from Sempra, in the form of an award of Restricted Stock Units or an amount credited to his Deferral Account, may elect to have the Elective Phantom Share Amount with respect to such award credited to his Deferral Account (in lieu of such award of Restricted Stock Units) and defer such Elective Phantom Share Amount. In order to elect such credit and deferral of the Elective Phantom Share Amount with respect to such an equity award, an eligible Participant must file the appropriate Deferral Election Form no later than the last day of the applicable Election Period for the Plan Year during which such equity award is granted, and such deferral election shall become irrevocable on the last day of the applicable Election Period for such Plan Year. A Director who first becomes a Participant during a Plan Year may make a deferral election during such Plan Year in accordance with subparagraph 1.2(t)(2)(A). Such an election to defer an Elective Phantom Share Amount with respect to an equity award granted during a Plan Year must be filed during the Election Period prior to the effective date of such election and shall be irrevocable when made and shall be effective only for an Elective Phantom Share Amount that constitutes compensation for services performed after the effective date of such election. If a Participant fails to elect such credit and deferral of the Elective Phantom Share Amount with respect to such an equity award, the Participant’s equity award shall not be deferred and shall be made in the form of an award of Restricted Stock Units. A Participant shall make a separate election to defer Elective Phantom Share Amounts for each Plan Year.
(c) Deferral Amounts. The amount of Base Salary or Bonus that a Participant may elect to defer for a Plan Year is such Base Salary or Bonus earned on or after the time at which the Participant elects to defer for such Plan Year in accordance with subsection 3.1(a), and that is earned during the Plan Year to which the deferral election relates (other than with respect to subsequent deferrals of previously deferred amounts or other amounts that are treated as subsequent deferrals for purposes of Section 409A of the Code). In no event shall a Participant be permitted to defer any amount of Compensation earned prior to the date of the deferral election or attributable to services performed prior to the date of the
deferral election (other than with respect to subsequent deferrals of previously deferred amounts or other amounts that are treated as subsequent deferrals for purposes of Section 409A of the Code or as permitted under the Plan relating to performance-based compensation).
(1) Each Participant who is a Manager shall be permitted to defer, in any whole percentage: (A) from 6% to 85% of Base Salary, (B) from 6% to 85% of his Bonus, and (C) if permitted by the Committee, between 10% and 100% of such Participant’s Restricted Stock Units, subject to subsection 3.1(b).
(2) Each Participant who is an Executive Officer shall be permitted to defer, in any whole percentage: (A) from 6% to 85% of Base Salary, (B) from 6% to 85% of his Bonus and (c) from 10% to 100% of such Participant’s Restricted Stock Units and SERP Lump Sum, subject to subsection 3.1(b).
(3) Each Participant who is a Director: (A) shall be permitted to defer, in any whole percentage, from 10% to 100% of his Compensation (other than Elective Phantom Share Amounts and Nonelective Phantom Share Amounts), and (B) shall be permitted to defer 100% of his Elective Phantom Share Amounts. In the case of a Participant who is a Director, 100% of such Participant’s Nonelective Phantom Share Amounts shall be deferred under subsection 3.1(f).
Notwithstanding the limitations established above, the total amount deferred by a Participant shall be limited in any calendar year, if necessary, to satisfy the Participant’s income and employment tax withholding obligations (including Social Security, unemployment and Medicare), and the Participant’s employee benefit plan contribution requirements, determined on the first day of the Election Period for such Plan Year, in any case as determined by the Committee or the Administrator, as applicable.
(d) Duration of Deferral Election.
(1) A Participant shall not modify or suspend his election to defer Compensation during a Plan Year.
(2) A Participant must file a new deferral election for each subsequent Plan Year. In the event a Participant fails to file a timely deferral election for the next Plan Year, he shall be deemed to have elected not to defer any Compensation for such Plan Year.
(3) A Participant’s election to defer all or any portion of his SERP Lump Sum shall automatically become void in the event the Participant dies or becomes disabled while employed by the Company.
(4) A Participant who is a Director must file a new deferral election for the Elective Phantom Share Amounts for the equity awards granted during each Plan Year. In the event a Participant fails to file a timely deferral election for the next Plan Year, he shall be deemed to have elected not to defer the Elective Phantom Share Amounts for the equity awards granted during such Plan Year.
(e) Elections. Any Eligible Individual who does not elect to defer Compensation during his Election Period for a Plan Year may subsequently participate in the Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.
(f) Nonelective Compensation Deferrals for Directors. The Board may determine from time to time whether deferrals of Nonelective Phantom Share Amounts shall be credited to the Deferral Accounts of one or more Participants who are Directors. The Board shall designate the Nonelective Phantom Share Amounts and any conditions under which a Director shall be entitled to have Nonelective
Phantom Share Amounts credited to his Deferral Account. A Nonelective Phantom Share Amount credited to a Director’s Deferral Account shall constitute compensation for services to be performed by the Director during a calendar quarter, and the Nonelective Phantom Share Amount for such calendar quarter shall be credited to the Director’s Deferral Account on the first New York Stock Exchange trading day of such calendar quarter; provided, however, that, in the case of a Director who first becomes a Director by reason of appointment or election as a Director, for purposes of the calendar quarter during which such appointment or election occurs, such Director’s Deferral Account shall be credited with a prorated portion of the Nonelective Phantom Share Amount for the portion of such calendar quarter (if any), commencing on the tenth New York Stock Exchange trading day after such Director’s appointment or election and ending on the last day of the calendar quarter, and any such prorated portion of the Nonelective Phantom Share Amount shall constitute compensation for services to be performed by the Director during the period commencing on such tenth New York Stock Exchange trading day and ending on the last day of such calendar quarter and shall be determined based on the portion of such calendar quarter that comprises such period and such prorated portion of the Nonelective Phantom Share Amount shall be credited to the Director’s Deferral Account on the New York Stock Exchange trading day next following the last day of such calendar quarter. The service period for a Nonelective Phantom Share Amount (or a prorated Nonelective Phantom Share Amount) shall be the calendar quarter, or portion thereof, during which the Director performs services for which such Nonelective Phantom Share Amount (or prorated Phantom Share Amount) constitutes compensation. Such Nonelective Phantom Share Amounts shall be deferred on a nonelective basis. An eligible Participant must file the appropriate Deferral Election Form with respect to the Nonelective Phantom Share Amounts that constitute compensation for services performed during periods during the Plan Year beginning after the effective date of such election, for purposes of electing the Payment Date and the form of distribution of such Nonelective Phantom Share Amounts, no later than the last day of the applicable Election Period for the Plan Year during which such Nonelective Phantom Share Amounts are credited, and such deferral election shall become irrevocable on the last day of the applicable Election Period for such Plan Year. The Committee or the Administrator shall permit such a Participant who first becomes a Participant during a Plan Year to have his first Election Period with respect to such election of the Payment Date and the form of distribution during such Plan Year determined in accordance with subparagraph 1.2(t)(2)(B). Such an election as to the Payment Date and the form of distribution must be filed during the Election Period prior to the effective date of such election and shall be irrevocable when made and shall be effective only for a Nonelective Phantom Share Amount that constitutes compensation for services performed after the date of such election.
(g) Termination of Participation and/or Deferrals. If the Committee or the Administrator determines in good faith that a Participant no longer qualifies as a Director or a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as membership in such group is determined in accordance with Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA, the Committee or the Administrator shall have the right, in its sole discretion and only for purposes of preserving the Plan’s exemption from Title I of ERISA, to prevent the Participant from making deferral elections for future Plan Years.
3.2 Distribution Elections.
(a) General Rule. Each Participant shall make a separate distribution election with respect to each Plan Year for which such Participant elects to defer Compensation in accordance with Section 3.1. In the case of each Participant who is a Director, such Participant shall make a separate distribution election with respect to each Plan Year without regard to whether such Participant elects to defer Compensation in accordance with Section 3.1.

In the event a Participant fails to elect a Payment Date for his Distributable Amount with respect to a Plan Year, his Payment Date for his Distributable Amount with respect to such Plan Year shall be the date described in paragraph 1.2(ii)(1). In the event a Participant fails to make a distribution form election for his Distributable Amount with respect to a Plan Year, his Distributable Amount with respect to such Plan Year shall be distributed in the normal form, as described in paragraph 7.1(a)(1) in the event of his Separation from Service or Disability, except as provided in subsection 3.2(b).

If such Participant elected to receive the distribution of his Distributable Amount with respect to a Plan Year in the event of his Separation from Service or Disability in a lump sum, such Participant may change such distribution form election by making a new distribution form election for his Distributable Amount with respect to such Plan Year providing for distribution in one of the following forms, with such distribution made or commencing on the fifth anniversary of his Payment Date:
(A) a lump sum,
(B) annual installments (calculated as set forth in paragraph 7.1(a)(6)) over five (5) years,
(C) annual installments (calculated as set forth in paragraph 7.1(a)(6) over ten (10) years, or
(D) annual installments (calculated as set forth in paragraph 7.1(a)(6)) over fifteen (15) years.
(2) Change from Installments. If such Participant elected to receive the distribution of his Distributable Amount with respect to a Plan Year in the event of his Separation from Service or Disability in annual installments over five (5), ten (10) or fifteen (15) years, such Participant may change such distribution form election by making a new distribution form election for his Distributable Amount with respect to such Plan Year providing for distribution in one of the following forms, with such distribution commencing on the fifth anniversary of his Payment Date:
(i) annual installments (calculated as set forth at paragraph 7.1(a)(6)) over the period of years specified in such Participant’s initial distribution form election, or
(ii) annual installments (calculated as set forth at paragraph 7.1(a)(6)) over a period of either ten (10) years or fifteen (15) years, provided that such period exceeds the period of years specified in such Participant’s initial distribution form election.
(3) A Participant may make only one change to his distribution form election with respect to a Plan Year under this subsection 3.2(b).
(c) Election of Scheduled Withdrawal Date. A Participant may elect a Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to his deferrals of Compensation (the “Withdrawal Amount”) with respect to a Plan Year. Such election of a Scheduled Withdrawal Date for such Participant’s Withdrawal Amount with respect to a Plan Year shall be made by such Participant during the Election Period for which such Participant elects to defer Compensation under Section 3.1 for such Plan Year, and such election of a Scheduled Withdrawal Date shall be irrevocable, except as provided in subsection 3.2(d). A Participant may make separate Scheduled Withdrawal Date elections for his deferrals of Compensation with respect to different Plan Years. A Participant’s Withdrawal Amount with respect to a Plan Year shall be credited to Subaccounts under such Participant’s Accounts for such Plan Year. A Participant shall not be required to elect a Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to his deferrals of Compensation for a Plan Year and, if a Participant fails to make an election of a Scheduled Withdrawal Date for a Plan Year, no Scheduled Withdrawal Date shall apply with respect to his deferrals of Compensation for such Plan Year. For purposes of the Plan, the deferrals of Compensation included as part of the Withdrawal Amount (i) shall be adjusted for investment earnings and losses in the case of elections made on or after November 10, 2016 and (ii) shall be adjusted for investment losses (but not investment earnings) in the case of elections made prior to November 10, 2016.
(d) Change of Scheduled Withdrawal Date. Subject to subsection 3.2(e), if a Participant elected a Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to his deferrals of Compensation with respect to a Plan Year in accordance with subsection 3.2(c), such Participant may change such Scheduled Withdrawal Date for the Withdrawal Amount with respect to such Plan Year by electing a new Scheduled Withdrawal Date for the Withdrawal Amount with respect to such Plan Year that is not less than five (5) years later than the Scheduled Withdrawal Date previously elected by such Participant for such Plan Year. A Participant who has not elected a Scheduled Withdrawal Date for his deferrals of Compensation in accordance with
subsection 3.2(c) for a Plan Year may not subsequently elect a Scheduled Withdrawal Date for his deferrals of Compensation for such Plan Year. A Participant may make only one change to the Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to each Plan Year under this subsection 3.2(d).
(e) Limitation on Distribution Changes. A Participant’s election to change his distribution form election with respect to a Plan Year under subsection 3.2(b), or change of a Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to a Plan Year under subsection 3.2(d), shall be subject to the following limitations:
(1) The Participant’s election to change his distribution election form with respect to a Plan Year, or change his Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to a Plan Year, shall not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after his election to change the distribution form election, or Scheduled Withdrawal Date, is made. If the distribution of such Participant’s Distributable Amount with respect to a Plan Year (in the case of a change in his distribution election form), or the distribution of the Withdrawal Amount with respect to such Plan Year (in the case of a change in his Scheduled Withdrawal Date), is made or commence before the election to change his distribution form election or Scheduled Withdrawal Date, as the case may be, becomes effective, the election to change his distribution form election or Scheduled Withdrawal Date shall not thereafter become effective, and distributions shall be made in accordance with the distribution form election, and Scheduled Withdrawal Date (if any), as applicable, in effect prior to the Participant’s election to change.
(2) The Participant’s election to change his distribution election form with respect to a Plan Year, or change his Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to a Plan Year, shall provide that each payment with respect to such new distribution form election, or new Scheduled Withdrawal Date, shall be deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made.
(3) The Participant’s election to change his Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to a Plan Year shall not be made less than twelve (12) months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment under the Participant’s initial election of the Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to such Plan Year.
The limitations under this subsection 3.2(e) shall be applied in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.
3.3 Employer Matching Contributions.
(a) The Company shall make an Employer Matching Contribution for each payroll date during a Plan Year, on behalf of each Participant who is employed by the Company on such payroll date and who makes deferrals of Base Salary and/or Bonus under Article III, in an amount equal to the sum of (1) 50% of the first 6% of Base Salary and Bonus deferred under Article III for such payroll period plus (2) 20% of the next 5% of Base Salary and Bonus deferred under Article III for such payroll period, reduced by (3) the amount of the matching contributions that would have been made under the 401(k) Plan for such payroll period if the Participant had contributed 11% of his eligible compensation (or such other amount that represents the maximum level of pre-tax salary reduction contributions (including catch-up contributions) and/or Roth elective contributions with respect to which matching contributions would have been made on behalf of the Participant under the 401(k) Plan for the applicable period). For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of the reduction under paragraph (3) shall be the maximum amount of matching contributions that could have been made under 401(k) Plan on behalf of the Participant (regardless of whether such matching contributions were actually made under the 401(k) Plan).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Employer Matching Contributions made pursuant to this subsection 3.3(a) exceed 100% of the matching contributions that would have been provided under the 401(k) Plan absent any plan-based restrictions or limitations on contributions to qualified plans under the Code.
If a Participant is employed by more than one corporation that is included in the Company, the foregoing computation shall be applied to each such corporation based on the portion of the Plan Year during which the Participant was employed by such corporation. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee reserves the right to change or eliminate the Employer Matching Contribution in its sole discretion for any subsequent Plan Year.
(b) The Employer Matching Contribution for a Plan Year shall be credited to a Participant’s Employer Matching Account in the manner determined by the Committee or the Administrator.
3.4 FICA and Other Taxes.
(a) Withholding, Generally. The Company shall have the right to withhold from any payments due under the Plan (or with respect to amounts credited to the Plan) any taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of such payment (or credit).
(b) Annual Deferral Amounts. For each Plan Year in which a Participant who is an employee makes a deferral under Section 3.1, the Participant’s employer shall withhold from that portion of the Participant’s Compensation that is not being deferred, in a manner determined by the employer, the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes on such amount. If necessary, the Committee or the Administrator may reduce the Participant's deferrals under Section 3.1 or make deductions from his Deferral Account in order to comply with this Section 3.4, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code.
(c) Employer Matching Amounts. For each Plan Year in which a Participant is credited with a contribution to his Employer Matching Account under Section 3.3,
the Participant’s employer shall withhold from the Participant’s Compensation that is not deferred, in a manner determined by the employer, the Participant’s share of FICA and other employment taxes. If necessary, the Committee or the Administrator may reduce the Participant’s Employer Matching Account in order to comply with this Section 3.4, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code.
(d) Sempra Stock Fund. With respect to distributions of all or a portion of balances invested in the Sempra Stock Fund, withholding obligations shall be satisfied through the surrender of the applicable withholding percentage of such distributed balances (or portion thereof) in the Sempra Stock Fund. Unless otherwise approved by the Committee, withholding obligations for Restricted Stock Units deferred into the Plan shall be satisfied by payment by the applicable Participant, deducted from other Compensation payable to such Participant which has not been deferred under the Plan, or a combination of these methods.
ARTICLE IV.
INVESTMENTS
4.1 Measurement Funds.
(a) Election of Measurement Funds. In the manner designated by the Committee or the Administrator, Participants may elect one or more Measurement Funds to be used to determine the additional amounts to be credited to their Accounts. Although the Participant may designate the available Measurement Funds that will be used to determine additional amounts to be credited to their Accounts, neither the Committee nor the Administrator shall be bound to make actual investments in such Measurement Funds based on the Participant’s election. If the Committee designates a substitute Measurement Fund for a Participant (without regard to the Participant’s election), the substitute Measurement Fund must provide the Participant with an investment opportunity reasonably comparable to the original Measurement Funds elected by the Participant, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee shall select from time to time, in its sole discretion, the Measurement Funds to be available under the Plan.
(b) No Actual Investment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Measurement Funds are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such Measurement Fund, the allocation to his Accounts thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Accounts shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his Accounts in any such Measurement Fund. In the event that the Committee, the Administrator, or the trustee, as applicable, in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the Measurement Funds, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Accounts shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on his behalf by the Company. The Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Company
4.2 Investment Elections.
(a) Participants.
(1) Deferral Accounts. Except as provided in paragraph 4.2(a)(2) and Section 4.3, Participants may designate how their Deferral Accounts shall be deemed to be invested under the Plan.
(A) Such Participants may make separate investment elections for (I) their future deferrals of Compensation and (II) the existing balances of their Deferral Accounts.
(B) Such Participants may make and change their investment elections by choosing from the Measurement Funds designated by the Committee in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee or the Administrator.
(C) Except as otherwise designated by the Committee, the available Measurement Funds under this paragraph 4.2(a)(1) shall be the investment funds under the 401(k) Plan (excluding the Stable Value Fund and any brokerage account option), the Sempra Stock Fund and the Measurement Fund based on the Moody’s Plus Rate.
(D) If a Participant fails to elect a Measurement Fund under this subsection 4.2(a), he shall be deemed to have elected the Measurement Fund based on the Moody’s Plus Rate (unless a different default fund is designated by the Committee) for all of his Accounts.
(2) Employer Matching Account and Certain Deferral Subaccounts.
(A) (2) Employer Matching Account and Certain Deferral Subaccounts. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee or the Administrator, Employer Matching Contributions credited to a Participant’s Employer Matching Account shall be invested in Measurement Funds in the same proportion as the corresponding deferrals of Compensation that are credited to his Deferral Account. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a Participant may, however, transfer the investment of the Employer Matching Contributions credited to his Employer Matching Account into any Measurement Fund and may change their investment elections by choosing from the Measurement Funds designated by the Committee in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee or the Administrator. The deferrals of a Participant’s Restricted Stock Units credited to such Participant’s Deferral Account shall be deemed invested in the Sempra Stock Fund and may not be moved into any other Measurement Fund.
(B) The deferrals of Elective Phantom Share Amounts and Nonelective Phantom Share Amounts credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account shall be initially deemed invested in the Sempra Stock Fund and shall remain deemed invested in the Sempra Stock Fund until the Participant’s Separation from Service. After the Participant’s Separation from Service, a Participant may direct the investment of the Elective Phantom Share Amount Subaccounts or Nonelective Phantom Share Amount Subaccounts of the Participant’s Deferral Account into any other Measurement Fund, as permitted by the Committee.
(b) Continuing Investment Elections. Participants who have had a Separation From Service but not yet commenced distributions under Article VII or Participants or Beneficiaries who are receiving installment payments may continue to make investment elections as permitted under subsection 4.2(a) except as otherwise determined by the Committee.
4.3 Compliance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
(a) Any Participant or Beneficiary who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall have his Measurement Fund elections under the Plan subject to the requirements of the Exchange Act, as interpreted by the Committee. Any such
Participant or Beneficiary who either (i) transferred amounts from another available Measurement Fund under the Plan into the Sempra Stock Fund or (ii) transferred any amounts from the Sempra Stock Fund to another available Measurement Fund under the Plan may not make an election with the opposite effect under this Plan or any other Company-sponsored plan until six (6) months and one (1) day following the original election.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any rule, instruction, election form or other form, the Plan and any such rule, instruction or form shall be subject to any additional conditions or limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, such Plan provision, rule, instruction or form shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

ARTICLE VI.
VESTING
(a) Subject to subsections (c) and (d), each Participant shall be 100% vested in his Deferral Account at all times.
(b) Each Participant shall become 100% vested in his Employer Matching Account after completing one (1) year of continuous employment with the Company; provided, however, that a Participant who had an Employer Matching Account under the Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be 100% vested in his Employer Matching Account at all times.

(2) Optional Forms. Instead of receiving his Distributable Amount with respect to each Plan Year as described at subparagraph 7.1(a)(1)(A), the Participant may elect in accordance with Section 3.2 one of the following optional forms of payment (on the form provided by Committee or the Administrator) (or shares of Sempra common stock for Restricted Stock Unit Subaccounts) at the time of his deferral election for such Plan Year:

(iv) a lump sum in cash (or shares of Sempra common stock for Restricted Stock Unit Subaccounts) .
The payment of such Participant’s Distributable Amount with respect each Plan Year shall be made or commence on such Participant’s Payment Date (or, if applicable, the date determined under subparagraph (a)(1)(B)).
(3) Distribution Election Changes. In the event that a Participant changes his distribution form election with respect to a Plan Year in accordance with subsection 3.2(b), and such new distribution form election becomes effective, upon the Separation from Service or Disability of such Participant, the Distributable Amount with respect to such Plan Year shall be paid to the Participant in accordance with such new distribution form election.
(4) Small Accounts. Notwithstanding provision to the contrary, in the event the total of a Participant’s Distributable Amounts with respect to all Plan Years is equal to or less than $25,000, such Distributable Amounts shall be distributed to the Participant (or his Beneficiary, as applicable) in a lump sum.
(5) Investment Adjustments. The Participant’s Accounts shall continue to be adjusted for investment earnings and losses pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 of the Plan until all amounts credited to his Accounts under the Plan have been distributed.
(6) Calculating Payments. All payments made under the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the following:
(i) All installment payments made under the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the annual fractional payment method, calculated as follows: the balance of Subaccounts in the Participant’s Accounts with respect to a Plan Year shall be calculated as of the Payment Date. The annual installment shall be calculated by multiplying this balance by a fraction, the numerator of which is one, and the denominator of which is the remaining number of annual payments due the Participant. By way of example, if the Participant elects ten (10) year installments for the distribution of the Subaccounts in his Accounts with respect to a Plan Year, the first payment shall be 1/10 of the balance of such Subaccounts in his Accounts calculated as described in this definition. The following year, the payment shall be 1/9 of such Subaccounts in the balance of the Participant’s Accounts, calculated as described in this definition. Each annual installment for an applicable year shall be paid on or as soon as practicable after the Payment Date (but in any event no later than the last business day of such applicable year).
(ii) All lump sum payments made under the Plan shall be calculated as of the close of business on the Payment Date. The lump sum shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Plan applicable thereto.
(b) Distribution on a Scheduled Withdrawal Date.
(1) In the case of a Participant who has elected a Scheduled Withdrawal Date for a distribution to be made prior to the Participant’s Separation from Service or while still a Director, in each case to the extent permitted by the Plan, such Participant shall receive his Withdrawal Amount as shall have been elected by the Participant to be subject to the Scheduled Withdrawal Date. A Participant’s Scheduled Withdrawal Date with respect to amounts of Compensation deferred in a given Plan Year must be at least three (3) years from the last day of the Plan Year for which such deferrals are made.
(2) The Withdrawal Amount shall be paid in a lump sum in cash.
(3) A Participant may elect to change the Scheduled Withdrawal Date for the Withdrawal Amount for any Plan Year in accordance with subsection 3.2(d).
(4) In the event of Participant’s Separation from Service or Disability prior to a Scheduled Withdrawal Date, the Participant’s entire Withdrawal Amount shall be paid in accordance with the Participant’s election with respect to such Plan Year under subsection 7.1(a). In the event of a Participant’s death prior to a Scheduled Withdrawal Date, the Participant’s entire Withdrawal Amount shall be paid as soon as practicable after the Participant’s death in a lump sum in cash.
(c) Distribution upon Death. In the event a Participant dies before he has begun receiving distributions under subsection 7.1(a), his Accounts shall be paid to his Beneficiary in the same manner elected by the Participant. In the event a Participant dies after he has begun receiving distributions under subsection 7.1(a) with a remaining balance in his Accounts, the balance shall continue to be paid to his Beneficiary in the same manner.
7.2 Hardship Distribution.
A Participant shall be permitted to elect a Hardship Distribution of all or a portion of his Accounts under the Plan prior to the Payment Date, subject to the following restrictions:
(a) The election to take a Hardship Distribution shall be made by filing the form provided by the Committee or the Administrator before the date established by the Committee or the Administrator.
(b) The Committee or the Administrator shall have made a determination that the requested distribution constitutes a Hardship Distribution in accordance with subsection 7.2(d).
(c) The amount determined by the Committee or the Administrator as a Hardship Distribution shall be paid in a single lump sum in cash as soon as practicable after the end of the calendar month in which the Hardship Distribution election is made and approved by the Committee or the Administrator. The Hardship Distribution shall be distributed proportionately from the Subaccounts in the Participant’s Accounts, excluding the Restricted Stock Unit, Elective Phantom Share Amount or Nonelective Phantom Shares Amount Subaccounts and any amounts invested in the Sempra Stock Fund.
(d) If a Participant receives a Hardship Distribution, the Participant shall be ineligible to contribute deferrals to the Plan for the remainder of the Plan Year in which the Hardship Distribution is received or the immediately following Plan Year. “Hardship Distribution” shall mean a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from (i) an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse or of his dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code), (ii) loss of a Participant’s property due to casualty, or (iii) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, as determined by the Committee or the Administrator in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. The amount of the Hardship Distribution with respect to a severe financial hardship shall not exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such hardship, plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship), as determined by the Committee or the Administrator in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.
7.3 Effect of a Change in Control.
(a) In the event there is a Change in Control, the person who is the chief executive officer (or, if not so identified, Sempra’s highest ranking officer) shall name a third-party fiduciary as the sole member of the Committee immediately prior to such Change in Control and the appointed fiduciary, shall provide for the immediate distribution of the Accounts under the Plan in lump sum payments and cash to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code.
(b) Upon a Change in Control, all unvested Elective Phantom Share Amounts credited to a Director’s Account under the Plan shall vest.
(c) Upon and after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company must (i) pay all reasonable administrative fees and expenses of the appointed fiduciary, (ii) indemnify the appointed fiduciary against any costs, expenses and liabilities including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses arising in connection with the appointed fiduciary's duties hereunder, other than with respect to matters resulting from the gross negligence of the appointed fiduciary or its agents or employees and (iii) timely provide the appointed fiduciary with all necessary information related to the Plan, the Participants and Beneficiaries.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 9.3, in the event there is a Change in Control no amendment may be made to this Plan except as approved by the third-party fiduciary; provided, however, that in no event shall any amendment approved by the third-party fiduciary have any retroactive effect to reduce any vested amounts allocated to a Participant’s Accounts. Upon a Change in Control, assets shall be placed in a rabbi trust in an amount which shall equal the full accrued liability under this Plan as determined by an actuarial firm appointed by the Board immediately prior to such Change in Control or, in the absence of such appointment, Willis Towers Watson or a successor actuarial firm.
7.4 Inability to Locate Participant.
In the event that the Committee or the Administrator is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within two (2) years following the required Payment Date, the amount allocated to the Participant’s Accounts shall be forfeited. If, after such forfeiture, the Participant or Beneficiary later claims such benefit, such benefit shall be reinstated without interest or earnings from the date of forfeiture, subject to applicable escheat laws.
7.5 Prohibition on Acceleration of Distributions.
The time or schedule of payment of any withdrawal or distribution under the Plan shall not be subject to acceleration, except as provided or permitted under Section 409A of the Code (including, without limitation, acceleration on termination of the Plan or in connection with a change in control event within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code).
7.6 Distributions Pursuant To QDROs.
Except as otherwise provided by the Committee or the Administrator, distributions to alternate payees pursuant to a QDRO will be made or commence within ninety (90) days of the date on which the domestic relations order is determined to be a QDRO in one of the following forms elected by the alternate payee (including by the terms of the QDRO):
(a) a lump sum,

(c) annual installments (calculated as set forth at paragraph 7.1(a)(6) over ten (10) years, or
(d) annual installments (calculated as set forth at paragraph 7.1(a)(6)) over fifteen (15) years.
If no election is made by the alternate payee within sixty (60) days following the date on which the domestic relations order is determined to be a QDRO, the alternate payee’s benefit will be paid in a lump sum in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.6.

MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 Unsecured General Creditor.
Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims, or interest in any specific property or assets of the Company. No assets of the Company shall be held in any way as collateral security for the fulfilling of the obligations of the Company under this Plan. Any and all of the Company’s assets shall be, and remain, the general unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company. The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future, and the rights of a Participant or Beneficiary shall be no greater than those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. It is the intention of the Company that this Plan be unfunded for purposes of the Code and Title I of ERISA.
9.2 Restriction Against Assignment.
(a) The Company shall pay all amounts payable hereunder only to the person or persons designated pursuant to the terms of the Plan and not to any other person or entity. No right, title or interest in the Plan or in any Account may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. No right, title or interest in the Plan or in any Account shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.

9.3 Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination.
(a) Subject to Section 7.3, the Committee may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, except that no amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall have any retroactive effect to reduce any vested amounts allocated to a Participant’s Accounts. In the event of Plan termination, distributions shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms of the Plan, subject to the provisions of subsection 7.3(a).
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if and to the extent Sempra shall determine that the terms of the Plan may result in the failure of the Plan, or amounts deferred by or for any Participant under the Plan, to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, Sempra shall have authority to take such action to amend, modify, cancel or terminate the Plan or distribute any or all of the amounts deferred by or for a Participant, as it deems necessary or advisable, including without limitation:
(1) Any amendment or modification of the Plan to conform the Plan to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (including, without limitation, any amendment or modification of the terms of any applicable to any Participant’s Accounts regarding the timing or form of payment).
(2) Any cancellation or termination of any unvested interest in a Participant’s Accounts without any payment to the Participant.
(3) Any cancellation or termination of any vested interest in any Participant’s Accounts, with immediate payment to the Participant of the amount otherwise payable to such Participant.
Any such amendment, modification, cancellation, or termination of the Plan may adversely affect the rights of a Participant without the Participant’s consent.
9.4 Designation of Beneficiary.
(a) Each Participant shall have the right to designate, revoke and redesignate Beneficiaries hereunder and to direct payment of his Distributable Amount to such Beneficiaries upon his death.
(b) Designation, revocation and redesignation of Beneficiaries must be made in writing in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee or the Administrator and shall be effective upon delivery to the Committee or the Administrator.
(c) If there is no Beneficiary designation in effect, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, then the Participant’s spouse shall be the Beneficiary; provided, however, that if there is no surviving spouse, the duly appointed and currently acting personal representative of the Participant’s estate shall be the Beneficiary.
(d) After the Participant’s death, any Beneficiary (other than the Participant’s estate) who is to receive installment payments may designate a secondary beneficiary to receive amounts due under this Plan to the Beneficiary in the event of the Beneficiary’s death prior to receiving full payment from the Plan. If no secondary beneficiary is designated, it shall be the Beneficiary’s estate.
9.5 Insurance.
(a) As a condition of participation in this Plan, each Participant shall, if requested by the Committee, the Administrator, or the Company, undergo such examination and provide such information as may be required by the Company with respect to any insurance contracts on the Participant’s life and shall authorize the Company to purchase life insurance on his life, payable to the Company
(b) If the Company maintains an insurance policy on a Participant’s life to fund benefits under the Plan and such insurance policy is invalidated because (i) the Participant commits suicide during the two (2) year period beginning on the first day of the first Plan Year of such Participant’s participation in the Plan or because (ii) the Participant makes any material misstatement of information or nondisclosure of medical history, then, to the extent determined by the Committee or the Administrator in its sole discretion, the only benefits that shall be payable hereunder to such Participant or his Beneficiary are the payment of the amount of
deferrals of Compensation then credited to the Participant’s Accounts but without any interest including interest theretofore credited under this Plan.

The Committee or the Administrator may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect prior to the payment date specified under the Plan.
9.8 Payments Subject to Section 162(m) of the Code.
In the discretion of the Committee or the Administrator and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, Sempra may delay any distribution (or portion thereof) under the Plan if Sempra reasonably anticipates that if such distribution under the Plan were made as scheduled, Sempra’s deduction with respect to such payment would not be permitted due to the application of Section 162(m) of the Code; provided, however, that any such delayed distribution shall be made (a) during the Participant’s first taxable year in which Sempra reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that, if the payment is made during such year, the deduction of such payment will not be barred by application of Section 162(m) of the Code, (b) during the period beginning with the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service and ending on the later of (i) the last day of the year in which the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs or (ii) within 2-1/2 months following the Participant’s Separation from Service, or (c) such date provided or permitted under Section 409A of the Code; and provided further that, where any scheduled payment to a specific Participant is delayed in Sempra’s taxable year accordance with this Section 9.8, the delay in payment will be treated as a subsequent deferral election under Section 409A of the Code only to the extent provided by Section 409A of the Code. Any amounts deferred pursuant to this limitation shall continue to be credited/debited with additional amounts in accordance with Article IV, even if such amount is being paid out in installments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, this Section 9.8 shall not apply to any distributions made after a Change in Control.
9.9 Payments on Behalf of Persons Under Incapacity.
In the event that any amount becomes payable under the Plan to a person who, in the sole judgment of the Committee or the Administrator, is considered by reason of physical or mental condition to be unable to give a valid receipt therefore, the Committee or the Administrator may direct that such payment be made to any person found by the Committee or the Administrator, in its sole judgment, to have assumed the care of such person. Any payment made pursuant to such termination shall constitute a full release and discharge of the Committee, the Administrator, and the Company.
9.10 Limitation of Rights.
Neither the establishment of the Plan nor any modification thereof, nor the creating of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving to any Participant or other person any legal or equitable right against the Company except as provided in the Plan. In no event shall the terms of employment of, or membership on the Board by, any Participant be modified or in any be effected by the provisions of the Plan.
9.11 Exempt ERISA Plan.
The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for directors and a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of ERISA and therefore to be exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA.
9.12 Notice.
Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee or the Administrator under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, sent by overnight courier, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the principal office of Sempra, directed, in the case of the Committee, to the attention of the General Counsel and Secretary of Sempra and in the case of the Administrator, to the Administrator.

9.16 Status.
The establishment and maintenance of, or allocations and credits to, the Accounts of any Participant shall not vest in any Participant any right, title or interest in and to any Plan assets or benefits except at the time or times and upon the terms and conditions and to the extent expressly set forth in the Plan.

ARTICLE X.
EMPLOYEES OF SEMPRA ENERGY TRADING CORPORATION
AND SEMPRA ENERGY SOLUTIONS LLC
This Article X includes special provisions relating to the benefits of the Participants in the Plan who are employed by Sempra Energy Trading Corporation (“SET”) and Sempra Energy Solutions LLC (“SES”).
(a) Background. Certain SET and SES employees are Participants in this Plan.
On July 9, 2007, Sempra, Sempra Global, Sempra Energy Trading International, B.V. (“SETI”) and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (“RBS”) entered into the Master Formation and Equity Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2007 (the “Master Formation Agreement”), which provides for the formation of a partnership, RBS Sempra Commodities LLP (“RBS Sempra Commodities”), to purchase and operate Sempra’s commodity-marketing businesses. Pursuant to a Master Formation Agreement, RBS Sempra Commodities will be formed as a United Kingdom limited liability partnership and RBS Sempra Commodities will purchase Sempra’s commodity-marketing subsidiaries.
Prior to the Closing, SET will be converted into a limited liability company (“SET LLC”). Following such conversion, SET employees will be employed by SET LLC. Prior to the Closing, SES will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SET LLC.
Also, prior to the Closing, Sempra will own, directly or indirectly through wholly-owned subsidiaries, 100% of the membership interests in SET LLC and SES. Prior to the Closing, SET LLC and SES will be disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes.
Effective as of the Closing, RBS Sempra Commodities will purchase 100% of the membership interests in SET LLC.
As provided in the Master Formation Agreement, an employee of SET LLC who is actively at work on the Closing Date will continue to be employed by SET LLC immediately after the Closing Date, and an employee of SES who is actively at work on the Closing Date will continue to be employed by SES (each such employee is referred to as a Transferred Employee).
Also, as provided in the Master Formation Agreement, with respect to an employee of SET LLC or SES who is not actively at work on the Closing Date because such employee is on approved short-term disability or long-term disability leave in accordance with the Sempra Plans (such employee is referred to as an Inactive Employee), if such Inactive Employee returns to active work at the conclusion of such leave, and in any case within six (6) months following the Closing Date (or such longer period as is required by applicable law), such Inactive Employee shall become a Transferred Employee as of the date of such person’s return to active employment with the SET LLC or SES (such date is referred to as the Transfer Date).
Effective as of the Closing, SET LLC will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of RBS Sempra Commodities, SES will be an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of RBS Commodities, Sempra Global and SETI will be partners in RBS Sempra Commodities, and Sempra will own, indirectly through wholly-owned subsidiaries, at least a 50% profits interest in RBS Sempra Commodities.
(b) Separation from Service
(1) Effective as of the Closing, RBS Sempra Commodities will be a member of a group of trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) under common control for purposes of Section 414(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(c)-2, as determined under Section 409A of the
Code, that includes Sempra and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Consequently, effective as of the Closing, RBS Sempra Commodities will be included in the “service recipient” that includes Sempra and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as defined under Section 409A of the Code.
(2) A Participant who is an employee of SET LLC or SES, and who is a Transferred Employee effective as of the Closing Date, will not have a Separation from Service solely as a result of the purchase of the membership interests of SET LLC by RBS Sempra Commodities effective as of the Closing.
(3) A Participant who is an employee of SET LLC or SES, who is an Inactive Employee, and who becomes a Transferred Employee effective on a Transfer Date after the Closing Date, will not have a Separation from Service solely as a result of the purchase of the membership interests of SET LLC by RBS Sempra Commodities or becoming a Transferred Employee on a Transfer Date after the Closing Date.
(4) For purposes of the Plan, a participant in the Plan who is an employee of SET LLC or SES, and who is or becomes a Transferred Employee, will have a Separation from Service on or after the Closing Date (or the Transfer Date, if applicable), as determined under subsection 1.2(rr) and Section 409A of the Code.
(c) Certain Defined Terms.
For purposes of this Article X, the terms “Closing,” “Closing Date,” “Inactive Employee,” “Sempra Plans,” “Transferred Employees” and “Transfer Date” shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms under the Master Formation Agreement.
ARTICLE XI.
SECTION 409A OF THE CODE
Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, it is intended that any amounts payable under this Plan shall either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code so as not to subject any Participant to payment of any additional tax, penalty or interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted to avoid the imputation of any such additional tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A of the Code yet preserve (to the nearest extent reasonably possible) the intended benefit payable to Participant. In no event shall the Company guarantee the tax treatment of participation in the Plan or any benefit provided hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event any of the amounts deferred or payable under the Plan are grandfathered for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, such amounts shall be subject to the terms and conditions “that applied to such amounts prior to the effective date of Section 409A of the Code.
