NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
Sempra
Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Sempra, a California-based holding company, and its consolidated entities, which invest in, develop and operate energy infrastructure in North America, and provide electric and gas services to customers.
Sempra has three separate reportable segments, which we describe in Note 12. In the fourth quarter of 2023, Sempra realigned its reportable segments to reflect changes in how the CODM oversees our three platforms: Sempra California, Sempra Texas Utilities and Sempra Infrastructure. Our former SDG&E and SoCalGas reportable segments were combined into one operating and reportable segment, Sempra California, which is consistent with how the CODM assesses performance due to the similarities of their operations, including geographic location and regulatory framework in California. Sempra’s historical segment disclosures have been restated to conform with the current presentation, so that all discussions reflect the revised segment information of its three reportable segments. 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. SDG&E is a regulated public utility that provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County. SDG&E has one reportable segment.
SoCalGas
SoCalGas’ common stock is wholly owned by Pacific Enterprises, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra. SoCalGas is a regulated public natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California. SoCalGas has one reportable segment.
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 the condensed consolidated financial statements of each Registrant.
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, 2024 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, 2023 balance sheet information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been derived from our audited 2023 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.
Our Sempra Infrastructure segment includes the operating companies of our subsidiary, SI Partners, as well as certain holding companies and risk management activity. Certain business activities at Sempra Infrastructure are regulated by the CRE and the FERC and meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP.
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, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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 $1,144 million and $1,166 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.
Other Sempra
Oncor Holdings
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 $15,160 million and $14,266 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
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 was $1,068 million at September 30, 2024 and $1,008 million at December 31, 2023. 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 $1,715 million and $1,580 million of assets at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 $1,060 million and $1,029 million of liabilities at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, consisting primarily of long-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 $5,446 million and $3,927 million of assets at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, consisting primarily of PP&E, net, 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 $865 million and $600 million of liabilities at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, 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.

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows | $ | 690 | | $ | 389 | |
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.
The implementation of customer assistance programs and higher 2023 winter season customer billings have resulted in certain SDG&E and SoCalGas customers exhibiting slower payment and higher levels of nonpayment than has been the case historically. In January 2024, the CPUC directed SDG&E and SoCalGas to offer long-term repayment plans to eligible residential customers with past-due balances.
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 below and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $5 million and $6 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $5 million of expected credit losses are included in Deferred Credits and Other on Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

DEDICATED ASSETS IN SUPPORT OF CERTAIN BENEFITS PLANS
In support of its Supplemental Executive Retirement, Cash Balance Restoration and Deferred Compensation Plans, Sempra maintains dedicated assets, including a Rabbi Trust and investments in life insurance contracts, which totaled $585 million and $549 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
WILDFIRE FUND
In July 2019, the Wildfire Legislation was signed into law to address certain issues related to catastrophic wildfires in 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.
SDG&E periodically evaluates the estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset based on actual experience and changes in assumptions. In the second quarter of 2024, SDG&E revised its estimate of the period of benefit from 15 years to 25 years.
SDG&E submitted its request to the OEIS for its annual wildfire safety certification in October 2024. OEIS has until January 2025 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.
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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Other Long-Term Assets includes $345 million and $332 million, respectively, of outstanding principal, compounded interest and unamortized transaction costs, net of allowance for credit losses, on Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Sempra Infrastructure’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two pipeline 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. Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE have agreed to an amendment to their transportation services agreement and to re-route the portion of the pipeline that is in the Yaqui territory, whereby the CFE would pay for the re-routing with a new tariff. This amendment will terminate if certain conditions are not met, and Sempra Infrastructure retains the right to terminate the transportation services agreement and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profit. Sempra Infrastructure continues to acquire and pursue the necessary rights-of-way and permits for the re-routed portion of the pipeline. At September 30, 2024, Sempra Infrastructure had $404 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 and resume operations or if Sempra Infrastructure terminates the contract and is unable to obtain recovery.
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.

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, in 2023, the scope of projects eligible for ITCs was expanded to include standalone energy storage projects, which are transferable under the IRA. The IRA also provided an election through 2024 that permits ITCs 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.
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. Sempra elected this change in tax accounting method in its consolidated 2023 income tax return filing, and Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas have applied this methodology in the calculation of their 2024 forecasted ETRs.
Sempra, SDG&E, and SoCalGas record regulatory liabilities for benefits that will be flowed through to customers in the future.
NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
We describe below recent accounting pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or disclosures.
ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”: ASU 2023-07 revises reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, public entities are required to disclose the title and position of the CODM and explain how the CODM uses the reported measures of profit or loss to assess segment performance. The standard also requires interim disclosure of certain segment-related disclosures that previously were required only on an annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Entities must adopt the changes to the segment reporting disclosures on a retrospective basis. We plan to adopt the standard on December 31, 2024.
ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”: ASU 2023-09 improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring disaggregated information about each Registrant’s ETR reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. For each annual period, each Registrant will be required to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. We plan to adopt the standard on December 31, 2025 and are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our financial reporting.
ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”: ASU 2024-03 mandates detailed disclosures on the disaggregation of income statement expenses. Public business entities are required to disclose in the notes to financial statements the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. The standard also requires disclosure of the amount, and a qualitative description of, other items remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and entities may adopt the standard on either a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our financial reporting and have not yet selected the year in which we will adopt the standard.

NOTE 4. REGULATORY MATTERS
REGULATORY ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
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.

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.
On October 18, 2024, the CPUC issued a proposed decision in the 2024 GRC for SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ test year revenue requirements for 2024 and attrition year adjustments for 2025 through 2027.
The 2024 GRC proposed decision adopts a 2024 test year revenue requirement of $2,800 million for SDG&E’s combined operations ($2,198 million for its electric operations and $602 million for its natural gas operations), which is $207 million lower than the $3,007 million that SDG&E had requested in its updated application. The proposed 2024 combined revenue requirement, if adopted, represents an increase of $267 million (10.5%) compared to its authorized 2023 combined revenue requirement. The proposed post-test year revenue requirement, if adopted, would be annual increases of approximately 3.9% for 2025-2027 at SDG&E.
The 2024 GRC proposed decision adopts a 2024 test year revenue requirement of $4,062 million for SoCalGas, which is $372 million lower than the $4,434 million that SoCalGas had requested in its May 2022 application. The proposed 2024 revenue requirement, if adopted, represents an increase of $523 million (14.8%) over its authorized 2023 revenue requirement. The proposed post-test year revenue requirement, if adopted, would be annual increases of approximately 3.9% for 2025-2027 at SoCalGas.
Because a final decision for the 2024 GRC was not issued by September 30, 2024, SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded CPUC-authorized base revenues in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 based on 2023 levels authorized under the 2019 GRC. The impact of the final decision, retroactive to January 1, 2024, as authorized by the CPUC, will be reflected in SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ financial statements in the period in which the final decision is issued. We expect the CPUC to issue a final decision by the end of this year.
2024 GRC Track 2
In October 2023, SDG&E submitted a separate request to the CPUC in its 2024 GRC, known as a Track 2 request. This request seeks review and recovery of $1.5 billion of wildfire mitigation plan costs incurred from 2019 through 2022 that were in addition to amounts authorized in the 2019 GRC. SDG&E expects to receive a proposed reasonableness review decision for its Track 2 request in the first half of 2025.
Revenues associated with the Track 2 request amounts described above have been recorded in a regulatory account. In February 2024, the CPUC approved an interim cost recovery mechanism that would permit SDG&E to recover in rates $194 million and $96 million of this regulatory account balance in 2024 and 2025, respectively. Such recovery of SDG&E’s wildfire mitigation plan regulatory account balance will be subject to refund, contingent on the reasonableness review decision for its Track 2 request.
2024 GRC Track 3
SDG&E expects to submit in the first half of 2025 an additional request to the CPUC in its 2024 GRC, known as a Track 3 request, for review and recovery of its 2023 wildfire mitigation plan costs.
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 was to remain in effect through December 31, 2025, subject to the CCM.

In October 2023, the CPUC issued a ruling to initiate a second phase of the 2023-2025 cost of capital proceeding to evaluate potential modifications to the CCM. In October 2024, the CPUC issued a final decision to modify the CCM. The final decision reduces the upward or downward adjustment to authorized ROE, if the CCM is triggered, to 20% of the change in the benchmark rate during the measurement period from the current 50%. The final decision adopts this change effective January 1, 2025, reducing both SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ ROE by 42 bps to 10.23% and 10.08%, respectively, and allowing SDG&E and SoCalGas to update their respective costs of preferred equity and debt for 2025. SDG&E and SoCalGas intend to file advice letters in November 2024 to address the implementation, subject to approval, of the updated cost of capital.
FERC RATE MATTERS
SDG&E files separately with the FERC for its authorized transmission revenue requirement and ROE on FERC-regulated electric transmission operations and assets. SDG&E’s currently effective TO5 settlement provides for an 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). In May 2024, the CPUC and other parties filed a petition and complaint with the FERC seeking an order that directs SDG&E to remove the California ISO adder from its currently effective TO5 settlement and refund the California ISO adder retroactively from June 1, 2019. In June 2024, SDG&E exercised its right to terminate the TO5 settlement. Accordingly, in October 2024, SDG&E submitted its TO6 filing to the FERC to be effective January 1, 2025, subject to refund. SDG&E’s TO6 filing proposes, among other items, an increase to SDG&E’s currently authorized base ROE from 10.10% to 11.75% and continuation of the California ISO adder. SDG&E expects further proceedings on these two matters.
NOTE 5. SEMPRA – 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. Distributions received from equity method investees are classified in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as either a return on investment in operating activities or a return of investment in investing activities based on the “nature of the distribution” approach. See Note 12 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.
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-fencing 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, 2024 and 2023, Sempra contributed $578 million and $270 million, respectively, to Oncor Holdings, and Oncor Holdings distributed $314 million and $323 million, respectively, to Sempra.
We provide summarized income statement information for Oncor Holdings in the following table.

CAMERON LNG JV
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, Sempra Infrastructure contributed $10 million and $11 million, respectively, to Cameron LNG JV, and Cameron LNG JV distributed $353 million and $339 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 $18 million at September 30, 2024, 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 are 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 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, 2024, the fair value of the Support Agreement was $24 million, of which $7 million is included in Other Current Assets and $17 million is included in Other Long-Term Assets on Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
TAG NORTE
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, TAG Norte distributed $62 million and $36 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, 2024, Sempra had an aggregate capacity of $9.9 billion under seven primary committed lines of credit, which provide liquidity and support our 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 2024, Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each amended their respective credit facility to extend the expiration date from October 2028 to October 2029.
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, 2024, each Registrant was in compliance with this ratio under its respective credit facility.
The three lines of credit that are shared by SI Partners and IEnova require that SI Partners maintain a ratio of consolidated adjusted net indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as defined in each credit facility) of no more than 5.25 to 1.00 at the end of each quarter. At September 30, 2024, SI Partners was in compliance with this ratio.
Uncommitted Line of Credit
ECA LNG Phase 1 has an uncommitted line of credit, which is generally used for working capital requirements. Borrowings can be in U.S. dollars or Mexican pesos. At September 30, 2024, an aggregate of $14 million, before reductions of any unamortized discounts, was outstanding, which were borrowed in Mexican pesos and bear interest at a variable rate based on the 28-day Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate plus the applicable margin. Borrowings made in U.S. dollars bear interest at a variable rate based on the one-month or three-month SOFR plus the applicable margin and a credit adjustment spread of 10 bps. In August 2024, the facility was amended to decrease the capacity from $200 million to $100 million, extend the expiration date to August 2026, and adjust the applicable margin to 154 bps for amounts borrowed in Mexican pesos and 164 bps for amounts borrowed in U.S. dollars.
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, 2024, we had $491 million in standby letters of credit outstanding under these agreements.

Term Loan
In May 2024, SoCalGas entered into a $500 million, 364-day term loan facility with a maturity date of May 22, 2025. Upon execution, SoCalGas borrowed $300 million, net of negligible debt issuance costs, under the term loan facility and borrowed the remaining $200 million in August 2024. SoCalGas may request an increase in the term loan facility of up to $500 million prior to the maturity date, subject to lender approval. The outstanding borrowings bear interest at a per annum rate equal to term SOFR, plus 80 bps and a credit adjustment spread of 10 bps. SoCalGas used the proceeds to repay commercial paper and for other general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2024, the term loan is included in Short-Term Debt on SoCalGas’ Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Weighted-Average Interest Rates
The weighted-average interest rates on all short-term debt were as follows:

The first mortgage bonds are redeemable prior to maturity, subject to their terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SoCalGas used the net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.
Other Sempra
Sempra
In March 2024 and May 2024, Sempra issued $600 million and $500 million, respectively, of 6.875% fixed-to-fixed reset rate junior subordinated notes maturing on October 1, 2054. In March 2024, we received proceeds of $593 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $7 million). In May 2024, we received proceeds of $489 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $11 million, but excluding $7 million paid to us in respect of accrued interest from and including March 14, 2024 to, but excluding, May 31, 2024). In September 2024, Sempra issued $1.25 billion of 6.40% fixed-to fixed reset rate junior subordinated notes maturing on October 1, 2054, and we received proceeds of $1.235 billion (net of debt discounts, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $15 million). We used, or plan to use, the proceeds from the offerings for general corporate purposes, including repayment of commercial paper and other indebtedness.
Interest on the notes accrues from and including March 14, 2024 (for the March 2024 and May 2024 issuances) and September 9, 2024 (for the September 2024 issuance) and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2024 (for the March 2024 and May 2024 issuances) and April 1, 2025 (for the September 2024 issuance).
The notes bear interest, as follows:
▪from and including March 14, 2024 to, but excluding, October 1, 2029 at the rate of 6.875% per annum (for the March 2024 and May 2024 issuances), and from and including September 9, 2024 to, but excluding, October 1, 2034 at the rate of 6.40% per annum (for the September 2024 issuance); and
▪from and including October 1, 2029 (for the March 2024 and May 2024 issuances) and October 1, 2034 (for the September 2024 issuance), during each subsequent five-year period beginning on October 1 of every fifth year, at a rate per annum equal to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate (as defined in the notes) as of the day falling two business days before the first day of such five-year period plus a spread of 2.789% (for the March 2024 and May 2024 issuances) and 2.632% (for the September 2024 issuance), to be reset on October 1 of every fifth year beginning in 2029 (for the March 2024 and May 2024 issuances) and 2034 (for the September 2024 issuance).
We may redeem some or all of the notes before their maturity, as follows:
▪in whole or in part, (i) on any day in the period commencing on the date falling 90 days prior to, and ending on and including October 1, 2029 (for the March 2024 and May 2024 issuances) and October 1, 2034 (for the September 2024 issuance), and (ii) after those respective dates, on any interest payment date, at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus, subject to the terms of the notes, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date;
▪in whole but not in part, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a tax event (as defined in the notes) at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus, subject to the terms of the notes, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to, but excluding, the redemption date; and
▪in whole but not in part, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a rating agency event (as defined in the notes) at a redemption price in cash equal to 102% of the principal amount of the notes, plus, subject to the terms of the notes, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The notes described above are unsecured obligations and rank junior and subordinate in right of payment to our existing and future senior indebtedness. The notes rank equally in right of payment with each other and with our existing 4.125% fixed-to-fixed reset rate junior subordinated notes due 2052 and 5.75% junior subordinated notes due 2079 and with any future unsecured indebtedness that we may incur if the terms of such indebtedness provide that it ranks equally with the notes in right of payment. The notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to any secured indebtedness we have incurred or may incur (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such secured indebtedness) and to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities and any preferred equity of our subsidiaries.
ECA LNG Phase 1
ECA LNG Phase 1 has a five-year loan agreement with a syndicate of seven external lenders that matures on December 9, 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $1.0 billion and $832 million, respectively, of borrowings from external lenders were outstanding under the loan agreement, with a weighted-average interest rate of 7.56% and 8.31%, respectively.
Port Arthur LNG
Port Arthur LNG has a seven-year term loan facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders that matures on March 20, 2030 for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 billion. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $420 million and $258 million, respectively, of borrowings were outstanding under the loan agreement, with an all-in weighted-average interest rate of 5.33% and 5.81%, respectively.
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 contracts that otherwise would have been accounted for as 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 March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps maturing in 2048, which were designated as cash flow hedges. On September 30, 2024, Port Arthur LNG voluntarily de-designated those interest rate swaps that begin hedging interest payments in March 2026 to provide for future financing flexibility. At the time of de-designation, $40 million of deferred gains related to the de-designated notional amount were included in AOCI, which will remain in AOCI until the hedged interest payments impact earnings or such hedged interest payments become probable of not occurring. In October 2024, Port Arthur LNG received a cash settlement of $46 million, net of transaction costs, for the termination of $1.0 billion of the notional amount of both the designated and de-designated interest rate swaps, with the associated deferred gains remaining in AOCI.
The following table presents the notional amounts of our interest rate derivatives, excluding those in our equity method investments.

(1) At September 30, 2024, cash flow hedges include Port Arthur LNG interest rate swaps with a maximum notional amount of $3,286 that mature in March 2026. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cash flow hedges accrued interest based on a notional amount of $1,422 and $488, respectively.
(2) At September 30, 2024, undesignated derivatives consist of Port Arthur LNG de-designated interest rate swaps with a maximum notional amount of $4,163 that begin hedging interest payments in March 2026.
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.
In May 2024, Oncor entered into cross-currency swaps designated as fair value hedges intended to offset foreign currency exchange rate risk related to its Euro-denominated debt.
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 notional amounts of our foreign currency derivatives, excluding those in our equity method investments.

(1) Equity earnings at Oncor Holdings and our foreign equity method investees are recognized after tax.
For Sempra, we expect that net gains before NCI of $31 million, which are net of income tax expense, that are currently recorded in AOCI (with net gains of $11 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.
At September 30, 2024, the maximum length of time over which Sempra is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions, excluding those forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments, is approximately 1.5 years.
The following table summarizes the effects of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $114 million and $215 million, respectively. For SoCalGas, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $46 million and $210 million, respectively. SDG&E did not have this group of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. At September 30, 2024, if the credit ratings of Sempra or SoCalGas were reduced below investment grade, $114 million and $46 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 tables below set forth our financial assets and liabilities, by level within the fair value hierarchy, that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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, 2023.
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 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 – Other Sempra.”

Level 3 Information

(1) Excludes the effect of the contractual ability to settle contracts under master netting agreements and cash collateral.
Inputs used to determine the fair value of CRRs 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 |
2024 | $ | (3.69) | | to | $ | 9.55 | | | $ | (0.44) | |
2023 | (3.09) | | to | 10.71 | | | (0.56) | |
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.
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. Because unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities, they do not affect earnings.

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.

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, current and noncurrent accounts receivable, amounts due to/from unconsolidated affiliates with original maturities of less than 90 days, dividends and accounts payable due in one year or less, 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 10.
NOTE 9. SEMPRA – EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
PREFERRED STOCK
On May 2, 2024, Sempra filed an amendment to its amended and restated articles of incorporation to implement the revocation of the series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock, all of which had previously been converted to Sempra common stock, thereby decreasing the number of authorized shares of series A preferred stock from 17,250,000 to zero and series B preferred stock from 5,750,000 to zero. Effective as of May 2, 2024, each such series of stock is no longer an authorized series of Sempra’s capital stock.
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.
Except as expressly noted, all share and per share information related to issued and outstanding common stock and outstanding equity awards with respect to common stock has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split and is presented on a post-split basis herein.
COMMON STOCK OFFERINGS
ATM Program
On November 6, 2024, we established an ATM program, providing for the offer and sale of shares of Sempra common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $3.0 billion through agents acting as our sales agents or as forward sellers or directly to the agents as principals. The shares may be offered and sold in amounts and at times to be determined by us from time to time. The agents will be entitled to a commission that will not exceed 1.0% of the gross sales price of all shares sold through it as agent pursuant to the sales agreement.
Under the ATM program, we may enter into separate forward sale agreements with affiliates of the agents as forward purchasers. We expect to fully physically settle each forward sale agreement, if any. However, we will generally have the right, subject to certain exceptions, to elect to cash settle or net share settle all or any portion of our obligations under any such forward sale agreement. If we enter into a forward sale agreement with any forward purchaser, we expect that such forward purchaser (or its affiliate) will attempt to borrow from third parties and sell, through the relevant agent acting, as sales agent for such forward purchaser, shares of our common stock to hedge such forward purchaser’s exposure under such forward sale agreement. We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of shares borrowed by a forward purchaser (or its affiliate) and sold through a forward seller. The forward seller will receive a commission, in the form of a reduction to the initial forward price under the related forward sale agreement, at a mutually agreed rate that will not exceed (subject to certain exceptions) 1.0% of the volume-weighted average of the gross sales price per share of all of the borrowed shares of Sempra common stock sold through such forward seller.
We intend to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds we receive from the issuance and sale by us of any shares of our common stock to or through the agents and any net proceeds we receive through the settlement of any forward sale agreements with the forward purchasers for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to partly finance anticipated increases to our long-term capital plan and to repay outstanding commercial paper and potentially other indebtedness.
November 2023 Forward Sale Agreements
In November 2023, we completed the offering of 19,242,010 shares of our common stock, no par value, in a registered public offering at $70.00 per share ($68.845 per share after deducting underwriting discounts), 17,142,858 shares of which were pursuant to forward sale agreements. We discuss the common stock offering in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
As of November 6, 2024, a total of 17,142,858 shares of Sempra common stock from our November 2023 offering remain subject to future settlement under these forward sale agreements, which may be settled on one or more dates specified by us occurring no later than December 31, 2024, which is the final settlement date under the agreements. Although we expect to settle the forward sale agreements entirely by the physical delivery of shares of our common stock in exchange for cash proceeds, we may, subject to certain conditions, elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under the forward sale agreements. The forward sale agreements are also subject to acceleration by the counterparties to the agreements upon the occurrence of certain events.
COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we withheld 565,571 shares for $41 million and 411,447 shares for $32 million, respectively, of our common stock that would otherwise be issued to long-term incentive plan participants who do not elect otherwise upon the vesting of RSUs and exercise of stock options in an amount sufficient to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements. Such share withholding is considered a share repurchase for accounting purposes.
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Ownership interests in a consolidated entity that are held by unconsolidated owners are accounted for and reported as NCI.
The following table summarizes net income attributable to Sempra and transfers (to) from NCI, which shows the effects of changes in Sempra’s ownership interest in its subsidiaries on Sempra’s shareholders’ equity.

SI Partners
Contributions from NCI. In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023, KKR Pinnacle used $14 million and $200 million, respectively, of a credit from Sempra pursuant to the SI Partners limited partnership agreement, 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.
SI Partners Subsidiaries
Sale of NCI to KKR Denali. In September 2023, an indirect subsidiary of SI Partners completed the sale of a 60% interest in an SI Partners subsidiary (resulting in an indirect 42% NCI in the PA LNG Phase 1 project) to KKR Denali for aggregate cash consideration of $984 million, before post-closing adjustments recorded subsequently. 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.
The indirect subsidiary of SI Partners and KKR Denali have 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 certain budget overrun scenarios.
Sale of NCI to ConocoPhillips Affiliate. In March 2023, an indirect subsidiary of SI Partners completed the sale of an indirect 30% interest in an SI Partners subsidiary (resulting in an indirect 30% NCI in the PA LNG Phase 1 project) to an affiliate of ConocoPhillips for aggregate cash consideration of $254 million. 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.
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 have 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 of September 30, 2024, an aggregate amount of $2.7 billion has been paid by SI Partners’ indirect subsidiary in satisfaction of its commitment to fund its portion of the development budget of the PA LNG Phase 1 project.
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 615 and 716 fully vested RSUs held in our Deferred Compensation Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 616 and 716 of such RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 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, 2024 excludes 450,243 and 996,966 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, and 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, because to include them would be antidilutive for the period. However, these shares could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.
The potentially dilutive impact from the forward sale of our common stock pursuant to the forward sale agreements that we discuss above is reflected in our diluted EPS calculation using the treasury stock method. We anticipate there will be a dilutive effect on our EPS when the average market price of our common stock shares is above the applicable adjusted forward sale price, subject to increase or decrease based on the overnight bank funding rate, less a spread, and subject to decrease by amounts related to expected dividends on shares of our common stock during the term of the forward sale agreements. Additionally, if we decide to physically settle or net share settle the forward sale agreements, delivery of our shares to the forward purchasers on any such physical settlement or net share settlement of the forward sale agreements would result in dilution to our EPS.
Pursuant to Sempra’s share-based compensation plans, the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of Sempra’s board of directors granted 414,812 nonqualified stock options, 721,049 performance-based RSUs and 312,043 service-based RSUs in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 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.
NOTE 10. 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 2023, the CPUC granted SDG&E authorization to access NDT funds of up to $79 million for forecasted 2024 costs.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
The present value of SDG&E’s ARO related to decommissioning costs for all three SONGS units was $480 million at September 30, 2024 and is based on a cost study prepared in 2020, which the CPUC approved in August 2024.
NUCLEAR INSURANCE
SDG&E and the other owners of SONGS have insurance to cover claims from nuclear liability incidents arising at SONGS. Currently, this insurance provides $500 million in coverage limits, the maximum amount available, including coverage for acts of terrorism. In addition, the Price-Anderson Act provides an additional $60 million of coverage. If a nuclear liability loss occurs at SONGS and exceeds the $500 million insurance limit, this additional coverage would be available to provide a total of $560 million in coverage limits per incident.
The SONGS owners have nuclear property damage insurance of $130 million, which exceeds the minimum federal requirement of $50 million. This insurance coverage is provided through NEIL. The NEIL policies have specific exclusions and limitations that can result in reduced coverage. Insured members as a group are subject to retrospective premium assessments to cover losses sustained by NEIL under all issued policies. SDG&E could be assessed a negligible amount for retrospective premiums based on overall member claims.
The nuclear property insurance program includes an industry aggregate loss limit for non-certified acts of terrorism (as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act) of $3.24 billion. This is the maximum amount that will be paid to insured members who suffer losses or damages from these non-certified terrorist acts.
NOTE 11. 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, 2024, loss contingency accruals for legal matters that are probable and estimable were $53 million for Sempra, negligible for SDG&E and $28 million for SoCalGas.
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. We expect a ruling on the appeal in the first quarter of 2025. 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. Both sides have appealed the ruling.
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.
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 did not participate in the settlement (the Non-Settling Individual Plaintiffs) are able to continue to pursue their claims. As of November 1, 2024, there are approximately 520 plaintiffs, who are either new plaintiffs or Non-Settling Individual Plaintiffs.
The new plaintiffs’ cases and Non-Settling Individual Plaintiffs’ cases are coordinated before a single court in the Los Angeles County 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.
At September 30, 2024, $21 million is accrued in Other Current Liabilities and $1 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 reasonably estimated to resolve certain matters that we describe above, nor any amounts that may be necessary to resolve threatened litigation, other potential litigation or other costs. 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 results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility 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. We expect a final decision by the end of this year.
In August 2023, 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 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, 2024, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $1.0 billion. 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, and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized.
Other Sempra
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, a plaintiff filed a claim in the federal Agrarian Court that 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. In August 2024, the Federal Collegiate Circuit Court ruled in favor of the ECA Regas Facility. The plaintiff has the option to file an appeal with the Mexican Supreme Court.
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 seeking revocation of 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 to cancel the injunction but was 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 plaintiff and dismissed the lawsuit. The claimant appealed and the appellate court’s ruling is 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 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.
▪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.
Port Arthur LNG
The PA LNG Phase 1 project holds two Clean Air Act, Prevention of Significant Deterioration permits issued by the TCEQ, which we refer to as the “2016 Permit” and the “2022 Permit.” The 2022 Permit also governs emissions for the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project. In November 2023, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a decision to vacate and remand the 2022 Permit to the TCEQ for additional explanation of the agency’s permit decision. In February 2024, the court withdrew its opinion and referred the case to the Supreme Court of Texas to resolve the question of the appropriate standard to be applied by the TCEQ. The 2022 Permit is effective during the Texas Supreme Court’s review. The 2016 Permit was not the subject of, and is unaffected by, the pending litigation of the 2022 Permit. Construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project is proceeding uninterrupted under existing permits, and we do not currently anticipate the pending litigation to materially impact the PA LNG Phase 1 project cost, schedule or expected commercial operations at this stage.
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. The decree further purports to permit the CRE to revoke self-supply permits granted under the former electricity law, which were grandfathered when the new Electricity Industry Law was enacted, if it considers them to have been obtained improperly. 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. Numerous legal actions were taken against the decree, which resulted in Mexican courts issuing a suspension of the decree 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. The super majority needed to find the amendment unconstitutional was not reached and the proceeding was therefore dismissed, leaving the amended Electricity Industry Law in place. However, the Court nevertheless found certain of the amendments, including the priority of dispatch for the CFE and other provisions that granted preference to the CFE over private companies, were invalid.
In January 2024, the Second Chamber of the Mexican Supreme Court definitively resolved an amparo in a separate case brought by a third party and ruled that certain provisions of the amendments of the Electricity Industry Law are unconstitutional, including the priority of dispatch for the CFE and other provisions that granted preference to the CFE over private companies. The Court also dismissed an amparo relating to the provision of the decree applicable to self-supply permits granted under the former electricity law, and established that its decision applies generally over all participants.
Sempra Infrastructure filed three lawsuits challenging the amendments to the Electricity Industry Law, including one concerning the provision permitting revocation of self-supply permits deemed improperly obtained. In each of them, Sempra Infrastructure obtained a favorable judgment in the lower court, all of which were challenged by the CRE. Following the criteria established by the Mexican Supreme Court, in July 2024, the Second Collegiate Court reversed the lower court’s decision and definitively dismissed one of the lawsuits filed by Sempra Infrastructure regarding the provision permitting revocation of self-supply permits. Consequently, the CRE may be required to seek to revoke such self-supply permits, under a legal standard that is ambiguous and not well defined under the law. Sempra Infrastructure supplies power pursuant to self-supply permits, and would be permitted to file amparos challenging the constitutionality of any such action. If such self-supply permits 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. Final resolution regarding the two remaining lawsuits is still pending.
RBS Sempra Commodities – Resolved
Sempra holds an equity method investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP, a limited liability partnership in the process of being liquidated. In 2015, liquidators filed a claim in the High Court of Justice against The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (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 Sempra Energy Europe, a subsidiary of RBS Sempra Commodities LLP. The claim alleged that the Defendants’ participation in the purchase and sale of carbon credits resulted in the Liquidating Companies’ carbon credit trading transactions creating a VAT liability they were unable to pay, and that the Defendants were liable to provide for equitable compensation due to dishonest assistance and compensation under the U.K. Insolvency Act of 1986. In January 2024, the parties settled the Liquidating Companies’ claim against the Defendants to fully resolve the matter; our share of such settlement was approximately £7.9 million (approximately $10 million in U.S. dollars at December 31, 2023). For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $40 million in equity earnings from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP to reduce our estimate of our obligations to settle these VAT matters and related legal costs based on the settlement reached with the Liquidating Companies in January 2024.
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 November 1, 2024, one lawsuit is 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.

CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS
We discuss below significant changes in the first nine months of 2024 to contractual commitments discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Natural Gas Contracts
SoCalGas’ natural gas contracts and transportation commitments have increased by approximately $340 million since December 31, 2023, primarily from entering into new natural gas contracts in the first nine months of 2024. At September 30, 2024, we expect future payments to decrease by $7 million in 2024, and increase by $36 million in 2025, $111 million in 2026, $119 million in 2027, and $81 million in 2028 compared to December 31, 2023.
Sempra Infrastructure’s natural gas contracts and transportation commitments have increased by approximately $474 million since December 31, 2023, primarily from entering into new natural gas contracts in the first nine months of 2024. We expect future payments to decrease by $17 million in 2024, and increase by $4 million in 2025, $76 million in 2026, $98 million in each of 2027 and 2028, and $215 million thereafter (through expiration in 2059) compared to December 31, 2023.
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 2024 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, 2024, we expect the commitment amount to decrease by $321 million in 2024, $76 million in 2025, $51 million in 2026, $37 million in 2027, $45 million in 2028 and $30 million thereafter (through expiration in 2029) compared to December 31, 2023, reflecting changes in estimated forward prices since December 31, 2023 and actual transactions for the first nine months of 2024. 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, 2024. 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.
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 $51 million for Sempra, $18 million for SDG&E and $20 million for SoCalGas at September 30, 2024.
NOTE 12. SEMPRA – SEGMENT INFORMATION
Sempra has three separately managed reportable segments, as follows:
▪Sempra California provides natural gas and electric service to Southern California and part of central California through Sempra’s wholly owned subsidiaries, SDG&E and SoCalGas.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
This combined MD&A includes the operational and financial results of the following three Registrants:
▪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.
▪SDG&E is a regulated public utility that provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County.
▪SoCalGas is a regulated public natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.
This combined MD&A 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.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, Sempra realigned its reportable segments to reflect changes in how the CODM oversees our three platforms: Sempra California, Sempra Texas Utilities and Sempra Infrastructure. Our former SDG&E and SoCalGas reportable segments were combined into one operating and reportable segment, Sempra California, which is consistent with how the CODM assesses performance due to the similarities of their operations, including geographic location and regulatory framework in California.
Sempra’s historical segment disclosures have been restated to conform with the current presentation, so that all discussions reflect the revised segment information of its three reportable segments:
▪Sempra California
▪Sempra Texas Utilities
▪Sempra Infrastructure
SDG&E and SoCalGas each has one reportable segment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BY REGISTRANT
Throughout the MD&A, our references to earnings represent earnings attributable to common shares. Variance amounts presented are the after-tax earnings impact (based on applicable statutory tax rates unless otherwise noted) and after NCI but before foreign currency and inflation effects, where applicable.
We discuss herein Sempra’s results of operations and significant changes in earnings (losses), revenues and costs by segment, as well as Parent and other, for the three months (Q3) and nine months (YTD) ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. We also discuss herein the impact of foreign currency and inflation rates on Sempra’s results of operations.
Sempra California recorded CPUC-authorized base revenues in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 based on 2023 levels authorized under the 2019 GRC because a final decision in the 2024 GRC remains pending.

Sempra California
Sempra California’s earnings are comprised of SDG&E and SoCalGas. Because changes in SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ 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 below. 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.
In the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the decrease in earnings of $43 million (15%) to $247 million was primarily due to:
▪$38 million lower income tax benefits primarily from flow-through items and the resolution of prior year income tax items
▪$19 million higher net interest expense
Offset by:
▪$5 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses, including higher authorized cost of capital. Sempra California recorded CPUC-authorized revenues based on 2023 authorized levels
▪$4 million higher AFUDC equity
▪$4 million higher net regulatory interest income
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the decrease in earnings of $102 million (8%) to $1.1 billion was primarily due to:
▪$89 million lower 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
▪$45 million higher net interest expense
▪$21 million regulatory awards approved by the CPUC in 2023
Offset by:
▪$19 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses, including higher authorized cost of capital. Sempra California recorded CPUC-authorized revenues based on 2023 authorized levels
▪$12 million higher electric transmission margin
▪$9 million higher AFUDC equity
▪$8 million higher net regulatory interest income
Sempra Texas Utilities
In the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the decrease in earnings of $44 million (14%) to $261 million was primarily due to lower equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:
▪higher interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to invested capital
▪higher O&M
Offset by:
▪higher revenues primarily attributable to:
◦rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital
◦updates to transmission billing units
◦customer growth
Offset by
◦lower customer consumption primarily attributable to weather
◦annual energy efficiency program performance bonus approved in 2023, but pending PUCT approval in 2024
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the increase in earnings of $98 million (18%) to $646 million was primarily due to higher equity earnings from Oncor Holdings driven by:
▪higher revenues primarily attributable to:
◦rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital
◦updates to transmission billing units
◦customer growth
◦new base rates implemented in May 2023
Offset by
◦lower customer consumption primarily attributable to weather
◦annual energy efficiency program performance bonus approved in 2023, but pending PUCT approval in 2024
▪write-off of rate base disallowances in 2023 resulting from the PUCT’s final order in Oncor’s comprehensive base rate review
Offset by:
▪higher interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to invested capital
▪higher O&M
Sempra Infrastructure
In the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the increase in earnings of $7 million (3%) to $230 million was primarily due to:
▪$31 million favorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico, comprised of a $67 million favorable impact in 2024 compared to a $36 million favorable impact in 2023
▪$18 million higher income tax benefit primarily from outside basis differences
▪$7 million favorable impact from $4 million net interest income in 2024 compared to $3 million net interest expense in 2023 primarily due to higher capitalization of interest expense on projects under construction
Offset by:
▪$12 million from the transportation business driven by lower revenues due to lower rates and higher O&M from a provision for expected credit losses on a customer's past due receivable balance
▪$9 million from the renewables business driven by lower volumes from wind power generation assets
▪$7 million from asset and supply optimization driven by lower natural gas prices, offset by unrealized gains in 2024 compared to unrealized losses in 2023 on commodity derivatives
▪$7 million from TdM driven by lower unrealized gains on commodity derivatives due to changes in power and natural gas prices
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the decrease in earnings of $94 million (13%) to $652 million was primarily due to:
▪$401 million from asset and supply optimization driven by unrealized losses in 2024 compared to unrealized gains in 2023 on commodity derivatives due to changes in natural gas prices and lower LNG diversion fees
▪$74 million from the transportation business driven by lower 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 in 2023
▪$28 million higher O&M and lower revenues from a provision for expected credit losses on a customer’s past due receivable balance
▪$11 million from the renewables business driven by lower volumes from wind power generation assets
Offset by:
▪$346 million favorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico, comprised of a $179 million favorable impact in 2024 compared to a $167 million unfavorable impact in 2023
▪$61 million favorable impact from $10 million net interest income in 2024 compared to $51 million net interest expense in 2023 primarily due to higher capitalization of interest expense on projects under construction and $17 million net unrealized losses in 2023 on a contingent interest rate swap related to the PA LNG Phase 1 project
▪$29 million higher income tax benefit primarily from outside basis differences
Parent and Other
In the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the increase in losses of $3 million (3%) to $100 million was primarily due to:
▪$23 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes
▪$17 million income tax expense in 2024 from changes to a valuation allowance against certain tax credit carryforwards
Offset by:
▪$29 million favorable impact from $17 million net investment gains in 2024 compared to $12 million net investment losses in 2023 on dedicated assets in support of our employee nonqualified benefit plan and deferred compensation plan
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the increase in losses of $43 million (17%) to $291 million was primarily due to:
▪$23 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes
▪$21 million from higher net interest expense
▪$17 million income tax expense in 2024 from changes to a valuation allowance against certain tax credit carryforwards
▪$5 million related to settlement charges from our non-qualified pension plan in 2024
Offset by:
▪$30 million favorable impact from $26 million net investment gains in 2024 compared to $4 million net investment losses in 2023 on dedicated assets in support of our employee nonqualified benefit plan and deferred compensation plan
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES AND COSTS
The regulatory framework permits SDG&E and SoCalGas to recover certain program expenditures and other costs authorized by the CPUC (referred to as “refundable programs”).
Utilities: Natural Gas Revenues and Cost of Natural Gas
Our utilities revenues include natural gas revenues at Sempra California and Sempra Infrastructure, which includes Ecogas. Intercompany revenues are eliminated in Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
SoCalGas and SDG&E operate under a regulatory framework that permits the cost of natural gas purchased for customers (residential and small commercial and industrial customers, also referred to as core customers for SoCalGas) 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 SoCalGas and its core customers. We provide further discussion in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

In the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, Sempra’s natural gas revenues decreased by $293 million (20%) to $1.2 billion driven by Sempra California, which included:
▪$160 million decrease in cost of natural gas sold, which we discuss below
▪$87 million lower revenues associated with refundable programs, which are fully offset in O&M
▪$74 million lower regulatory revenues in 2024 from adopting a change in tax accounting method for gas repairs expenditures, which are offset in income tax benefit (expense)
Offset by:
▪$28 million higher revenues from incremental and balanced capital projects, including higher authorized cost of capital

Utilities: Electric Revenues and Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power
Our utilities revenues include electric revenues at Sempra California, substantially all of which is at SDG&E. Intercompany revenues are eliminated in Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
SDG&E operates under a regulatory framework that permits it 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.
Utility cost of electric fuel and purchased power includes utility-owned generation, power purchased from third parties, and net power purchases and sales to/from the California ISO.

(1) We discuss how we recognize equity earnings in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
We report as part of our pretax results the income or loss attributable to NCI. However, we do not record income taxes for a portion of this income or loss, as some of our entities with NCI are currently treated as partnerships for U.S. income tax purposes, and thus we are only liable for income taxes on the portion of the earnings that are allocated to us. Our pretax income, however, includes 100% of these entities. If our entities with NCI grow, and if we continue to invest in such entities, the impact on our ETR may become more significant.
In April 2023, the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2023-15, which provides a safe harbor method of accounting for gas repairs expenditures. Sempra elected this change in tax accounting method in its consolidated 2023 income tax return filing and has applied this methodology in the calculation of its 2024 forecasted ETR.
Sempra records regulatory liabilities for benefits that will be flowed through to customers in the future.
In the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, Sempra’s income tax benefit increased by $53 million primarily due to:
▪$34 million higher income tax benefit from the resolution of prior year income tax items
▪$30 million income tax benefit in 2024 from an outside basis difference in a domestic partnership investment
▪$29 million from $78 million income tax benefit in 2024 compared to $49 million income tax benefit in 2023 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico
Offset by:
▪lower income tax benefit in 2024 from lower ITCs from standalone energy storage projects under the IRA
▪$23 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, Sempra had an income tax benefit in 2024 compared to income tax expense in 2023 primarily due to:
▪$414 million from $211 million income tax benefit in 2024 compared to $203 million income tax expense in 2023 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico
▪lower pretax income
▪higher income tax benefits from flow-through items, including an income tax benefit in 2024 from adopting a change in tax accounting method for gas repairs expenditures
▪$34 million higher income tax benefit from the resolution of prior year income tax items
▪$30 million income tax benefit in 2024 from an outside basis difference in a domestic partnership investment
Offset by:
▪lower income tax benefit in 2024 from lower ITCs from standalone energy storage projects under the IRA
▪$43 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the recognition of previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures
▪$23 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes
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.
Equity Earnings
In the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, Sempra’s equity earnings decreased by $25 million (5%) to $454 million primarily due to:
▪$44 million at Oncor Holdings driven by:
◦higher interest expense and depreciation expense attributable to invested capital
◦higher O&M
Offset by:
◦higher revenues primarily attributable to:
•rate updates to reflect increases in invested capital
•updates to transmission billing units

Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023, Sempra’s earnings attributable to NCI decreased by $12 million (10%) to $110 million and $110 million (25%) to $325 million, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in SI Partners’ net income.
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, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023, the change in our earnings as a result of foreign currency translation rates was negligible.
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:

▪$48 million lower regulatory revenues in 2024 from adopting a change in tax accounting method for gas repairs expenditures, which are offset in income tax (expense) benefit
▪$7 million lower franchise fee revenues
Offset by:
▪$23 million higher revenues from incremental and balanced capital projects, including higher authorized cost of capital
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, SDG&E’s cost of natural gas decreased by $285 million to $177 million primarily due to:
▪$236 million lower average natural gas prices
▪$49 million lower volumes driven by weather
Operation and Maintenance
In the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, SDG&E’s O&M decreased by $43 million (9%) to $420 million due to:
▪$58 million lower expenses associated with refundable programs, which costs are recovered in revenue
Offset by:
▪$18 million higher non-refundable operating costs
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, SDG&E’s O&M decreased by $110 million (8%) to $1.3 billion due to:
▪$125 million lower expenses associated with refundable programs, which costs are recovered in revenue
Offset by:
▪$18 million higher non-refundable operating costs
Other Income, Net
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, SDG&E’s other income, net, increased by $11 million (15%) to $86 million primarily due to:
▪$18 million increase from a $4 million credit in 2024 compared to $14 million cost in 2023 for the non-service components of net periodic benefit cost
Offset by:
▪$7 million lower AFUDC equity
Interest Expense
In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023, SDG&E’s interest expense increased by $5 million (4%) to $131 million and $23 million (6%) to $390 million, respectively, from higher debt balances from debt issuances.

In April 2023, the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2023-15, which provides a safe harbor method of accounting for gas repairs expenditures. SDG&E elected this change in tax accounting method in Sempra’s consolidated 2023 income tax return filing and has applied this methodology in the calculation of its 2024 forecasted ETR.
SDG&E records regulatory liabilities for benefits that will be flowed through to customers in the future.
In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, SDG&E had an income tax expense in 2024 compared to income tax benefit in 2023 primarily due to:
▪lower income tax benefit in 2024 from lower ITCs from standalone energy storage projects under the IRA
▪higher pretax income
Offset by:
▪$9 million higher income tax benefit from the resolution of prior year income tax items
We discuss herein SoCalGas’ results of operations and significant changes in (losses) earnings, revenues and costs for the three months (Q3) and nine months (YTD) ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
SoCalGas recorded CPUC-authorized base revenues in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 based on 2023 levels authorized under the 2019 GRC because a final decision in the 2024 GRC remains pending.

▪$40 million higher income tax benefit from the resolution of prior year income tax items
▪lower pretax income
Offset by:
▪$43 million income tax benefit in 2023 from the recognition of previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures
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, issuing equity securities under our ATM program or otherwise, and other financing transactions which may include distributions from our equity method investments, project financing and funding from NCI 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
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 or otherwise raise money at market rates from commercial banks, under existing revolving credit facilities, through public offerings of debt or equity securities (including under our ATM program or otherwise), 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. In addition, our financing activities, actions by credit rating agencies and prevailing interest rates, as well as many other factors, could negatively affect the availability and cost of both short-term and long-term debt and equity financing. Also, cash flows from operations may be impacted by the timing of regulatory proceedings, commencement and completion of, and potential cost overruns for, large projects and other material events. 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.
Common Stock Offering and Forward Sale Agreements
As we discuss in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, our offering of Sempra common stock completed in November 2023 provided initial net proceeds of $144 million upon the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of our common stock. We did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock pursuant to the forward sale agreements entered into in connection with the offering. The forward sale agreements permit us to elect, subject to certain conditions, physical settlement, cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under the agreements. We expect to settle the forward sale agreements entirely by delivery of shares of our common stock under physical settlement in exchange for cash proceeds in one or more settlements no later than December 31, 2024, which is the final settlement date under the agreements. As of November 6, 2024, at the initial forward sale price of $68.845 per share, we expect that the net proceeds from full physical settlement of the forward sale agreements would be approximately $1.2 billion (net of underwriting discounts, but before deducting equity issuance costs, and subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the forward sale agreements). If we were to elect cash settlement or net share settlement instead of physical settlement, the amount of cash proceeds we receive upon settlement would be less, perhaps substantially, or we may not receive any cash proceeds or we may deliver cash (in an amount that could be significant) or shares of our common stock to the counterparties to the forward sale agreements.
We used the initial net proceeds from this offering, and we expect to use any net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to the forward sale agreements, to fund working capital and for other general corporate purposes, including to partly finance our long-term capital plan and to repay commercial paper and potentially other indebtedness.
Available Funds
Our committed lines of credit provide liquidity and support commercial paper. Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each has a committed line of credit expiring in 2029 and Sempra Infrastructure has four committed lines of credit expiring on various dates from 2025 through 2030, and an uncommitted line of credit expiring in 2026.

| Sempra | | SDG&E | | SoCalGas |
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents(1) | $ | 560 | | | $ | 15 | | | $ | 2 | |
Available unused credit(2) | 8,247 | | | 1,116 | | | 1,200 | |
(1) Amounts at Sempra include $108 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 or acquisitions. SDG&E and SoCalGas use short-term debt primarily to meet working capital needs or to help fund event-specific costs. Commercial paper, a term loan and lines of credit were our primary sources of short-term debt funding in the first nine months of 2024.
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 2024 included the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
LONG-TERM DEBT ISSUANCES AND PAYMENTS |
(Dollars in millions) |
Issuances: | Amount at issuance | | Maturity |
Sempra 6.40% junior subordinated notes | $ | 1,250 | | | 2054 |

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 2024.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
ISSUER CREDIT RATINGS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 | | | | |
| | | | | |
| 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, 2024.
Loans due to/from Affiliates
At September 30, 2024, Sempra had $347 million in loans due to unconsolidated affiliates.
Minimum Tax Directive
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has introduced a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15%, referred to as the “minimum tax directive.” Many aspects of the minimum tax directive became effective beginning in 2024. While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt the minimum tax directive, other countries are in the process of introducing and enacting legislation to implement the minimum tax directive. We do not currently expect the minimum tax directive to have a material effect on Sempra’s, SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
Market for Sempra’s Common Stock
Sempra’s common stock began trading on the Mexican Stock Exchange under the trading symbol SRE.MX in May 2021 following an exchange offer launched in the U.S. and Mexico to acquire the then publicly owned shares of IEnova for newly issued shares of our common stock. In August 2024, we submitted an application to cross-list our common stock on the International Trading System (SIC) of the Mexican Stock Exchange and delist our common stock from the general listing of the Mexican Stock Exchange, which application is currently under review by the CNBV. Following approval, our common stock will no longer be quoted or traded on the general listing of the Mexican Stock Exchange or subject to applicable reporting requirements, but will remain eligible for trading by Mexican investors on the SIC.
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 legislatures, litigation and the changing energy marketplace, as well as other matters described in this report and the Annual 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.
The implementation of customer assistance programs and higher 2023 winter season customer billings have resulted in certain SDG&E and SoCalGas customers exhibiting slower payment and higher levels of nonpayment than has been the case historically. In January 2024, the CPUC directed SDG&E and SoCalGas to offer long-term repayment plans to eligible residential customers with past-due balances until October 2026. Delay in payments by customers impacts the timing of SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ cash flows.
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 GRC
On October 18, 2024, the CPUC issued a proposed decision in the 2024 GRC for SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ test year revenue requirements for 2024 and attrition year adjustments for 2025 through 2027. We discuss certain details of the proposed decision in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The CPUC has authorized SDG&E and SoCalGas to recognize the effects of the 2024 GRC final decision retroactive to January 1, 2024. We expect the CPUC to issue a final decision by the end of this year.
CCM
In October 2024, the CPUC issued a final decision to modify the CCM. The final decision reduces the upward or downward adjustment to authorized ROE, if the CCM is triggered, to 20% of the change in the benchmark rate during the measurement period from the current 50%. The final decision adopts this change effective January 1, 2025, reducing both SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ ROE by 42 bps to 10.23% and 10.08%, respectively, and allowing SDG&E and SoCalGas to update their respective costs of preferred equity and debt for 2025. SDG&E and SoCalGas intend to file advice letters in November 2024 to address the implementation, subject to approval, of the updated cost of capital.
SDG&E
Wildfire Fund
The carrying value of SDG&E’s Wildfire Fund asset totaled $282 million at September 30, 2024. 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 accelerated amortization against earnings when available coverage is reduced due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs, as was the case in 2023 after Pacific Gas and Electric Company 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.
Wildfire Mitigation Cost Recovery Mechanism
2024 GRC Track 2. In October 2023, SDG&E submitted a separate request to the CPUC in its 2024 GRC, known as a Track 2 request. This request seeks review and recovery of $1.5 billion of wildfire mitigation plan costs incurred from 2019 through 2022 that were in addition to amounts authorized in the 2019 GRC. SDG&E expects to receive a proposed reasonableness review decision for its Track 2 request in the first half of 2025.
Revenues associated with the Track 2 request amounts described above have been recorded in a regulatory account. In February 2024, the CPUC approved an interim cost recovery mechanism that would permit SDG&E to recover in rates $194 million and $96 million of this regulatory account balance in 2024 and 2025, respectively. Such recovery of SDG&E’s wildfire mitigation plan regulatory account balance will be subject to refund, contingent on the reasonableness review decision for its Track 2 request.
2024 GRC Track 3. SDG&E expects to submit in the first half of 2025 an additional request to the CPUC in its 2024 GRC, known as a Track 3 request, for review and recovery of its 2023 wildfire mitigation plan costs.
FERC Rate Matters
In June 2024, SDG&E exercised its right to terminate the TO5 settlement. Accordingly, in October 2024, SDG&E submitted its TO6 filing to the FERC to be effective January 1, 2025, subject to refund. SDG&E’s TO6 filing proposes, among other items, an increase to SDG&E’s currently authorized base ROE from 10.10% to 11.75% and continuation of the California ISO adder. SDG&E expects further proceedings on this matter. We further discuss SDG&E’s TO6 filing in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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
From October 23, 2015 through February 11, 2016, SoCalGas experienced the Leak, which we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
At September 30, 2024, $21 million is accrued in Other Current Liabilities and $1 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 reasonably estimated to resolve certain matters that we describe in “Legal Proceedings – SoCalGas – Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak” in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, nor any amounts that may be necessary to resolve threatened litigation, other potential litigation or other costs. 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 results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability
Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important to help maintain service reliability during peak demand periods, including consumer heating needs in the winter and peak electric generation needs in the summer. 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 analyzing alternative means for meeting or avoiding the demand for the facility’s services if it were eliminated. We expect a final decision by the end of this year.
At September 30, 2024, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $1.0 billion. 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, and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized.
Franchise Agreement
SoCalGas’ Los Angeles County franchise initially expired in June 2023 and the subsequent extension expired in December 2023. SoCalGas is in the process of negotiating a new agreement with Los Angeles County. SoCalGas is operating under the terms and provisions of the expired franchise and expects to continue to do so until a new agreement is reached and does not anticipate disruption of service to customers in unincorporated Los Angeles County while negotiations continue.
Labor Relations
Field, technical and most clerical employees at SoCalGas are represented by the Utility Workers Union of America or the International Chemical Workers Union Council. The collective bargaining agreement for these employees covering wages, hours, working conditions, and medical and other benefit plans was due to expire on September 30, 2024, but was extended by mutual agreement to allow time for further negotiation of new terms and a subsequent ratification vote. SoCalGas and representatives of the unions reached a tentative agreement for a new collective bargaining agreement on October 3, 2024, but the ratification vote did not pass. The terms and conditions of the existing agreement are currently scheduled to expire on November 8, 2024.
Negotiations for the new collective bargaining agreement and extension of the existing collective bargaining agreement are presently ongoing. If we are unable to extend the existing agreement, there could be labor disruptions following the expiration of that agreement, though we do not anticipate that such labor disruptions would have a material impact on service.
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.
Rates and Cost Recovery
The PUCT issued a final order in Oncor’s most recent comprehensive base rate proceeding in April 2023, and rates implementing that order went into effect 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 intervening 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. In February 2024, the court dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. In March 2024, Oncor appealed the court’s dismissal, which is currently with the Fifteenth Court of Appeals in Texas.
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 from 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 NCI owners, bank financing, issuances of debt, project financing, partnering in JVs and asset sales.
Sempra, KKR Pinnacle and ADIA directly or indirectly own a 70%, 20%, and 10% interest, respectively, in SI Partners, and KKR Denali, an affiliate of ConocoPhillips and TotalEnergies SE each own a 60%, 30% and 16.6% interest, respectively, in three separate SI Partners subsidiaries. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, Sempra Infrastructure distributed $235 million and $289 million, respectively, to its NCI owners, and NCI owners contributed $1,121 million and $1,236 million, respectively, to Sempra Infrastructure.
Sempra Infrastructure is in various stages of development or construction on natural gas liquefaction projects, pipeline and terminal projects, and renewable generation and sequestration projects, which we describe below. The successful development and/or construction of these projects is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.
With respect to projects in development, these risks and uncertainties include, as applicable depending on the project, any failure to:
▪secure binding customer commitments
▪identify suitable project and equity partners
▪obtain sufficient financing
▪reach agreement with project partners or other applicable parties to proceed
▪obtain, modify, and/or maintain permits and regulatory approvals, including LNG export applications to non-FTA countries
▪negotiate, complete and maintain suitable commercial agreements, which may include EPC, tolling, equity acquisition, governance, LNG sales, gas supply and transportation contracts
▪reach a positive final investment decision
With respect to projects under construction, these risks and uncertainties include, in addition to the risks described above as applicable to each project, construction delays and cost overruns.
An unfavorable outcome with respect to any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on (i) the development and construction of the applicable project, including a potential impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date, which could be material, and (ii) for any project that has reached a positive final investment decision, Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. For a further discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
The descriptions below discuss several HOAs, MOUs and other non-binding development agreements with respect to Sempra Infrastructure’s various development projects. These arrangements do not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements or otherwise participate in the applicable project, and the ultimate participation by the parties remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors.
LNG
Cameron LNG Phase 2 Project. Cameron LNG JV is developing a proposed expansion project that would add one electric drive 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 has received major permits, as amended to allow the use of electric drives for a one-train electric drive expansion along with other design enhancements, and FTA and non-FTA approvals associated with the potential expansion. 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.
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.
After completion of certain value engineering work in the first quarter of 2024, Cameron LNG JV is conducting additional value engineering work to improve the overall value of the project and evaluate other potential EPC contractors. We expect this work will continue through the end of 2024 as we continue to evaluate the timeframe to make a final investment decision, which we no longer expect to occur in the first half of 2025 and which remains subject to satisfactory conclusion on the EPC process as well as negotiation and finalization of definitive offtake agreements and completion of all related financing and permitting activities necessary to align our authorizations with the proposed schedule for the project.
In December 2023, Entergy Louisiana, LLC, a subsidiary of Entergy Corporation, and Cameron LNG JV signed a new electricity service agreement (and related ancillary agreements) for the supply to Cameron LNG JV of up to 950 MW of renewable power from new renewable resources in Louisiana.
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 members, including with respect to the equity investment obligation of each member.
ECA LNG Phase 1 Project. 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. SI Partners owns an 83.4% interest in ECA LNG Phase 1, and an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE owns the remaining 16.6% interest. Sempra holds an indirect interest in the ECA LNG Phase 1 project of 58.4%.
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. The customers have a termination right if the ECA LNG Phase 1 project does not commence commercial operations under the SPAs by February 24, 2026, subject to certain additional conditions, for which we expect to request an extension if necessary.
We have an EPC contract with TP Oil & Gas Mexico, S. De R.L. De C.V., an affiliate of Technip Energies N.V., to construct the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. We estimate the total price of the EPC contract to be approximately $1.6 billion, with capital expenditures approximating $2.5 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. We expect the ECA LNG Phase 1 project to commence commercial operations in the spring of 2026.
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 $1.0 billion was outstanding at September 30, 2024. Proceeds from the loan are being used to finance the cost of construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project.
With respect to the ECA LNG Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects, recent and proposed changes to the law in Mexico and an unfavorable resolution of land disputes and permit challenges, in each case that we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, could have a material adverse effect on the development and construction of these projects.
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., an affiliate of 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.
PA LNG Phase 1 Project. 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. SI Partners, KKR Denali and an affiliate of ConocoPhillips indirectly own a 28%, 42% and 30% interest, respectively, in the PA LNG Phase 1 project, and Sempra holds a 19.6% indirect interest in the project.
Sempra Infrastructure has received authorizations from the DOE that 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 April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. In June 2023, Port Arthur LNG requested authorization from the FERC to increase its work force and implement a 24-hours-per-day construction schedule to further enhance construction efficiency while reducing temporal impacts to the community and environment in the vicinity of the project. The authorization was granted in May 2024 and provides the EPC contractor with more optionality to meet or exceed the project’s construction schedule.
The PA LNG Phase 1 project holds two Clean Air Act, Prevention of Significant Deterioration permits issued by the TCEQ, which we refer to as the “2016 Permit” and the “2022 Permit.” The 2022 Permit also governs emissions for the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project. In November 2023, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a decision to vacate and remand the 2022 Permit to the TCEQ for additional explanation of the agency’s permit decision. In February 2024, the court withdrew its opinion and referred the case to the Supreme Court of Texas to resolve the question of the appropriate standard to be applied by the TCEQ. The 2022 Permit is effective during the Texas Supreme Court’s review. The 2016 Permit was not the subject of, and is unaffected by, the pending litigation of the 2022 Permit. Construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project is proceeding uninterrupted under existing permits, and we do not currently anticipate the pending litigation to materially impact the PA LNG Phase 1 project cost, schedule or expected commercial operations at this stage.
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.
We have an EPC contract with Bechtel to construct 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. 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. We expect the first and second trains of the PA LNG Phase 1 project to commence commercial operations in 2027 and 2028, respectively.
As we discuss in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, SI Partners and ConocoPhillips have 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 of September 30, 2024, an aggregate amount of $2.7 billion has been paid by SI Partners’ indirect subsidiary in satisfaction of its commitment to fund its portion of the development budget of the PA LNG Phase 1 project.
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 in March 2030. Proceeds from the loans will be used to finance the cost of construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. At September 30, 2024, $420 million of borrowings were outstanding under the term loan facility agreement.
PA LNG Phase 2 Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing a second phase of the Port Arthur 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.
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. We received the FTA authorization from the DOE in July 2020.
As we discuss above, a U.S. federal court previously issued and subsequently withdrew a decision that would have vacated and remanded the 2022 Permit authorizing emissions from the PA LNG Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects to the TCEQ for additional explanation of the agency’s permit decision. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has referred the case to the Supreme Court of Texas to resolve the question of the appropriate standard to be applied by the TCEQ. The 2022 Permit is effective pending the Texas Supreme Court’s review.
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. Additionally, Sempra Infrastructure has entered into a non-binding HOA for a 20-year SPA with Aramco for 5 Mtpa of LNG offtake from the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project. The HOA further contemplates Aramco’s 25% participation in the project-level equity of the PA LNG Phase 2 project.
In July 2024, Sempra Infrastructure entered into an $8.2 billion EPC contract with Bechtel for the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project. The EPC contract contemplates the construction of two liquefaction trains capable of producing approximately 13 Mtpa, an additional LNG storage tank and marine berth and associated loading facilities and related infrastructure necessary to provide liquefaction services. We have no obligation to move forward on the EPC contract, and we may release Bechtel to perform portions of the work pursuant to limited notices to proceed. The price is subject to change if certain limited notices to proceed and the full notice to proceed are not issued, each by specified dates. We expect to work with Bechtel with respect to such changes based on the ultimate timeline for the project and plan to fully release Bechtel to perform all the work to construct the PA LNG Phase 2 project only after we reach a final investment decision with respect to the project and after certain other conditions are met, including obtaining permits, executing definitive agreements for LNG offtake and equity investments, and securing project financing.
Vista Pacifico LNG Liquefaction Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing the Vista Pacifico LNG project, a mid-scale natural gas liquefaction export facility proposed to be located in the vicinity of the Port of Topolobampo in Sinaloa, Mexico. In June 2024, we extended the non-binding development agreement with the CFE to December 15, 2024, with an automatic one-year extension to December 15, 2025. We continue to progress with the CFE on the negotiation of definitive agreements, including a natural gas supply agreement. The proposed LNG export terminal would be supplied with U.S. natural gas and would use excess 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.
Asset and Supply Optimization. As we discuss in “Part II – Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Annual Report, Sempra Infrastructure enters into hedging transactions to help mitigate commodity price risk and optimize the value of its LNG, natural gas pipelines and storage, and power-generating assets. Some of these derivatives that we use as economic hedges do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, or hedge accounting is not elected, and as a result, the changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded in earnings. Consequently, significant changes in commodity prices have in the past and could in the future result in earnings volatility, which may be material, as the economic offset of these derivatives may not be recorded at fair value.
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 pipeline 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. 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.
Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE have agreed to an amendment to their transportation services agreement and to re-route the portion of the pipeline that is in the Yaqui territory, whereby the CFE would pay for the re-routing with a new tariff. This amendment will terminate if certain conditions are not met, and Sempra Infrastructure retains the right to terminate the transportation services agreement and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profit. Sempra Infrastructure continues to acquire and pursue the necessary rights-of-way and permits for the re-routed portion of the pipeline.
The Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline currently constitutes a Sole Risk Project under the terms of the SI Partners limited partnership agreement. Sole Risk Projects are separated from other SI Partners projects and are conducted at Sempra’s sole cost, expense and liability and we receive, through the acquisition of Sole Risk Interests, any economic and other benefits from such projects. At September 30, 2024, Sempra Infrastructure had $404 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 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. Sempra Infrastructure owns and operates a terminal for the receipt, storage, and delivery of refined products in Topolobampo, which commenced commercial operations in June 2024.
Sempra Infrastructure is also developing terminals for the receipt, storage, and delivery of refined products in the vicinity of Manzanillo and Ensenada.
SI Partners holds a 100% indirect interest and Sempra holds a 70% indirect interest in these terminals.
Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. Sempra Infrastructure is constructing the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector, a 72-mile pipeline connecting the PA LNG Phase 1 project to Gillis, Louisiana, in which SI Partners holds a 100% indirect interest and Sempra holds a 70% indirect interest. 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. In May 2024, the FERC approved the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector amendment application. 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.
Louisiana Storage. Sempra Infrastructure is constructing Louisiana Storage, a 12.5-Bcf salt dome natural gas storage facility to support the PA LNG Phase 1 project, in which SI Partners holds a 100% indirect interest and Sempra holds a 70% indirect interest. 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 Louisiana 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.
Low Carbon Solutions
Cimarrón Wind. Sempra Infrastructure has made a positive final investment decision on and begun constructing the Cimarrón Wind project, an approximately 320-MW wind generation facility in Baja California, Mexico, in which SI Partners holds a 100% indirect interest and Sempra holds a 70% indirect interest. Sempra Infrastructure has a 20-year PPA with Silicon Valley Power for the long-term supply of renewable energy to the City of Santa Clara, California. Cimarrón Wind will utilize Sempra Infrastructure’s existing cross-border high voltage transmission line to interconnect and deliver clean energy to the East County substation in San Diego County. We estimate the capital expenditures for the project will be approximately $550 million, including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates. We expect the Cimarrón Wind project to begin generating energy in late 2025 and commence commercial operations in the first half of 2026.
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 2021, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a Class VI carbon injection well to advance this project. The permit is pending approval from the State of Louisiana as the EPA has transferred Class VI permitting authority to the state.
Sempra Infrastructure, TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation have entered into a Participation Agreement for the development of the proposed Hackberry Carbon Sequestration 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 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.
Legal and Regulatory Matters
See Note 11 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 and risks associated with Mexican laws, policies and government influence:
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. In particular, Sempra Infrastructure filed one lawsuit concerning the provision of Mexico’s Electricity Industry Law permitting revocation of self-supply permits deemed improperly obtained that was dismissed by the court. Consequently, the CRE may be required to seek to revoke such self-supply permits, under a legal standard that is ambiguous and not well defined under the law. 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.
Subsequent to the federal elections in Mexico, the Mexican government has begun to introduce significant changes to the Constitution, which will require changes in laws, policies, and regulations in order to be implemented. These changes have included constitutional reforms to the judiciary and to the treatment of certain state-owned enterprises. The changes to the judiciary include a requirement that all judges be elected rather than appointed. These reforms and any further constitutional, legal or regulatory changes could affect the Mexican economy, energy sector and our businesses, the extent of which we currently are unable to predict.

ERCOT has been experiencing, and expects to continue to experience, growth in power demand. Additionally, pursuant to recently enacted Texas House Bill 2555 and related rules promulgated by the PUCT, Oncor filed for PUCT review and approval a system resiliency plan to help enhance the resiliency of its transmission and distribution system. Oncor anticipates its 2025 through 2029 five-year capital expenditures plan may increase by 40% to 50% compared to its previously announced 2024 through 2028 plan.
An increase in Oncor’s 2025 through 2029 five-year capital expenditures plan would likely result in an increase to Sempra’s capital expenditures and investments in its 2025 through 2029 five-year plan. The amounts and timing of capital expenditures and certain investments may vary substantially from our estimates and are generally subject to approvals by various regulatory and other governmental and environmental bodies, including the CPUC, the FERC and the PUCT, the cost and availability of financing, changes in tax law and business opportunities providing desirable rates of return, among various other factors described in this MD&A and in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report. We intend to finance our capital expenditures and investments 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 2024, 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 $15 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $14 million at December 31, 2023.
The one-day value at risk for SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ commodity positions were $2 million and $3 million, respectively, at September 30, 2024 compared to $2 million and $4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2023.
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, 2024 increased or decreased by 10%, the change in earnings attributable to common shares over the 12-month period ending September 30, 2025 would be approximately $8 million. If interest rates increased or decreased by 10% on all variable-rate long-term debt at September 30, 2024, after considering the effects of interest rate swaps, the change in earnings attributable to common shares over the 12-month period ending September 30, 2025 would be approximately $3 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, 2024, there were no significant changes to our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk since December 31, 2023.
In 2023 and 2024 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, including labor and contractor related costs as well as higher insurance premiums, and does not have specific regulatory mechanisms that allow for recovery of higher non-reconcilable 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, 2024, 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.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not party to, and our property is not the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings (other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our businesses) or environmental proceedings described in Item 103(c)(3) of SEC Regulation S-K except for the matters (1) described in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, or (2) referred to in “Part I – Item 2. MD&A” in this report or in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” or “Part II – Item 7. MD&A” in the Annual Report.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
When evaluating our company and its consolidated entities and any investment in our or their securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors and all other information contained in this report and the other documents we file with the SEC (including those filed subsequent to this report), including the factors discussed in “Part I – Item 2. MD&A” in this report and “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Part II – Item 7. MD&A” in the Annual Report. This section supplements the risk factors described in our Annual Report by adding the below risk factor under the heading “Risks Related to Sempra – Financial and Capital Stock-Related Risks” in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Any of the risks and other information discussed in this report or any of the risk factors discussed in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” or “Part II – Item 7. MD&A” in the Annual Report, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial, could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, prospects and/or the trading prices of our securities or those of our consolidated entities.
Settlement provisions contained in the forward sale agreements we may enter into in connection with our ATM program subject us to certain risks.
In November 2024, Sempra established an ATM program, which we discuss in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and in part (a) of “Part II - Item 5. Other Information” below. We are permitted to sell shares of our common stock in the ATM program pursuant to forward sale agreements, which grant each counterparty (each a forward purchaser) the right to accelerate its forward sale agreement (or, in certain cases, the portion thereof that the forward purchaser determines is affected by the relevant event) and require us to physically settle the forward sale agreement on a date specified by the forward purchaser if, subject to a prior notice requirement:
▪the forward purchaser determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that it is unable to hedge in a commercially reasonable manner its exposure to the applicable forward sale agreement because insufficient shares of our common stock are made available for borrowing by securities lenders or that, with respect to borrowing such number of shares of our common stock, it would incur a rate that is greater than the borrow cost specified in the forward sale agreement;
▪we declare any dividend, issue or distribution to existing holders of shares of our common stock that constitutes an extraordinary dividend under the forward sale agreement or is payable in (i) cash in excess of specified amounts (unless it is an extraordinary dividend), (ii) securities of another company that we acquire or own (directly or indirectly) as a result of a spin-off or similar transaction or (iii) any other type of securities (other than our common stock), rights, warrants or other assets for payment at less than the prevailing market price;
▪an event (i) is announced that, if consummated, would result in an extraordinary event (including certain mergers and tender offers, our nationalization, our insolvency and the delisting of the shares of our common stock) or (ii) occurs that would constitute a hedging disruption or change in law;
▪an ownership event (as such term is defined in the forward sale agreement) occurs; or
▪certain other events of default, termination events or other specified events occur, including, among other things, a change in law.
A forward purchaser’s decision to exercise its right to accelerate all or a portion of the settlement of its forward sale agreement and to require us to physically settle the relevant shares will be made irrespective of our interests, including our need for capital. In such cases, we could be required to issue and deliver shares of our common stock under the terms of the physical settlement,
which would result in dilution to our EPS and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, Series C preferred stock and any other series of preferred stock we may issue in the future.
The forward price that we expect to receive upon physical settlement of a forward sale agreement will be subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor. If the specified daily rate is less than the applicable spread on any day, this will result in a daily reduction of the forward price. In addition, the forward price will be subject to decrease on certain dates specified in the relevant forward sale agreement by the amount per share of quarterly dividends we expect to declare on our common stock during the term of such forward sale agreement.
We will generally have the right, in lieu of physical settlement of any forward sale agreement, to elect cash or net share settlement in respect of any or all of the shares of our common stock subject to such forward sale agreement. If we elect to cash or net share settle all or any part of any forward sale agreement, we would expect to issue a substantially lower number of shares than if we settled by physical delivery, but would not receive the cash for the shares that would have otherwise been issued if we settled the entire forward sale agreement by physical delivery and, as a result, would not derive the same credit metrics benefits.
If the price of our common stock at which these purchases are made by such forward purchaser (or its affiliate) exceeds the applicable forward price, we will pay such forward purchaser an amount in cash equal to such difference (if we elect to cash settle) or we will deliver to such forward purchaser a number of shares of our common stock having a market value equal to such difference (if we elect to net share settle). Any such difference could be significant and could require us to pay a significant amount of cash or deliver a significant number of shares of our common stock to such forward purchaser.
The purchase of shares of our common stock by a forward purchaser or its affiliate to unwind the forward purchaser’s hedge position could cause the price of our common stock to increase above the price that would have prevailed in the absence of those purchases (or prevent a decrease in such price), thereby increasing the amount of cash (in the case of cash settlement) or the number of shares (in the case of net share settlement) that we would owe such forward purchaser upon settlement of the applicable forward sale agreement or decreasing the amount of cash (in the case of cash settlement) or the number of shares (in the case of net share settlement) that such forward purchaser would owe us upon settlement of the applicable forward sale agreement.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
(a)On November 6, 2024, we entered into the sales agreement with Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (each an agent) and the forward purchasers (as defined below), providing for the offer and sale of shares of Sempra common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $3.0 billion through the agents, as our sales agents or, if applicable, as forward sellers, or directly to the agents as principals.
The shares may be offered and sold in amounts and at times to be determined by us from time to time. Actual sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us and the agents from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, capital needs and determinations by us of the appropriate sources of our funding.
Sales of the shares, if any, pursuant to the sales agreement will be made in negotiated transactions, including block trades, or transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, including sales made directly on the NYSE, sales made to or through a market maker and sales made through other securities exchanges or electronic communications networks or by any other method permitted by applicable law as otherwise agreed between the applicable agent and us.
The sales agreement contemplates that, in addition to the issuance and sale by us of shares of our common stock to or through the agents, we may enter into separate forward sale agreements with Barclays Bank PLC, Bank of America, N.A., Citibank, N.A., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Mizuho Markets Americas LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, MUFG Securities EMEA plc, Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or one of their respective affiliates (the forward purchasers). If we enter into a forward sale agreement with any forward purchaser, we expect that such forward purchaser (or its affiliate) will attempt to borrow from third parties and sell, through the relevant agent, acting as sales agent for such forward purchaser, shares of our common stock to hedge
such forward purchaser’s exposure under such forward sale agreement. We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of shares borrowed by a forward purchaser (or its affiliate) and sold through a forward seller.
A copy of the opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP relating to the validity of the securities to be issued pursuant to the sales agreement is filed hereto as Exhibit 5.1. We currently expect to fully physically settle each forward sale agreement, if any, on one or more dates specified by us on or prior to the maturity date of such forward sale agreement. However, we will generally have the right, subject to certain exceptions, to elect to cash settle or net share settle all or any portion of our obligations under any such forward sale agreement. If we elect or are deemed to have elected to physically settle any forward sale agreement by delivering shares of our common stock, we will receive an amount of cash from the relevant forward purchaser equal to the product of (1) the initial forward price per share under such forward sale agreement and (2) the number of shares as to which we have elected or are deemed to have elected physical settlement, subject to the price adjustment and other provisions of such forward sale agreement.
The agents are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares but have agreed to use their commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with their normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations, as our sales agents or as forward sellers, and subject to the terms of the sales agreement and, in the case of shares offered through such agents as forward sellers, the relevant forward sale agreement, to sell shares of our common stock on mutually agreed terms between the agent and us.
The sales agreement provides that an agent will be entitled to a commission that will not exceed 1.0% of the gross sales price of all shares sold through it as agent pursuant to the sales agreement. We may also sell shares to one or more agents as principal, at a price per share to be agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares to one or more of the agents as principal, we will enter into a separate agreement with such agent or agents setting forth the terms of such transaction. In connection with any forward sale agreement under the sales agreement, the applicable agent, as forward seller, will receive a commission, in the form of a reduction to the initial forward price under the related forward sale agreement, at a mutually agreed rate that will not exceed (subject to certain exceptions) 1.0% of the volume-weighted average of the gross sales price per share of all of the borrowed shares of our common stock sold through such agent, as forward seller, during the applicable forward selling period for such shares.
We intend to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds we receive from the issuance and sale by us of any shares of our common stock to or through the agents and any net proceeds we receive pursuant to the settlement of any forward sale agreements with the relevant forward purchasers for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to partly finance anticipated increases to our long-term capital plan and to repay outstanding commercial paper and potentially other indebtedness.
The foregoing description of the sales agreement and any forward sale agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the sales agreement and the form of forward sale agreement, which are filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not constitute an offer to sell the shares of our common stock subject to the sales agreement or a solicitation of an offer to buy any such shares, nor shall there be any sale of such shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
(b)None.
(c)During the most recent fiscal quarter, (i) each of the individuals listed below, who were at the time Sempra directors or officers, adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement with respect to the securities of Sempra, with the material terms described below; (ii) no Sempra directors or officers terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or adopted or terminated a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement with respect to the securities of Sempra; and (iii) no SDG&E or SoCalGas directors or officers adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement with respect to the securities of each such Registrant. As used herein, directors and officers are as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act, a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement is as defined in Item 408(a) of SEC Regulation S-K, and a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement is as defined in Item 408(c) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Re: Registration Statement No. 333-272237
To the addressees set forth above:
We have acted as special counsel to Sempra, a California corporation (the “Company”), in connection with an ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement, dated November 6, 2024 (the “Sales Agreement”), by and among the Company and BofA Securities, Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, each as a sales agent or principal, as applicable (in such capacity, each a “Sales Agent” and collectively, the “Sales Agents”), and forward seller (in such capacity, each a “Forward Seller” and collectively, the “Forward Sellers”), and Barclays Bank PLC, Bank of America, N.A., Citibank, N.A., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Mizuho Markets Americas LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, MUFG Securities EMEA plc, Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, each as a forward purchaser (in such capacity, each a “Forward Purchaser” and, collectively, the “Forward Purchasers”), with regard to the sale of shares of common stock of the Company, no par value, (the “Shares”), by (i) the Company through or to the Sales Agents (such shares sold by the Sales Agents referred to as the “Issuance Shares”) and/or (ii) the Forward Purchasers, through the Sales Agents as forward sellers from time to time, having an aggregate sales price of up to $3,000,000,000, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) on May 26, 2023 (Registration No. 333-272237) (as so filed and as amended, the “Registration Statement”), a base prospectus dated May 26, 2023 included in the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”), and a prospectus supplement dated November 6, 2024 filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act (the “Prospectus Supplement”, and together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”). In connection with the Sales Agreement, the Company may enter into one or more forward sale agreements with the Forward Purchasers (each, a “Confirmation”) in the form attached as Annex II to the Sales Agreement (the “Form of Confirmation”), relating to the forward sale by the Company of shares of Common Stock (the “Confirmation Shares”), subject to the Company’s right to elect net share settlement or cash settlement of all or a portion of its obligations under the applicable Confirmation and certain other terms and conditions.
This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares.
As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the Corporations Code of the State of California (the “Corporations Code”), and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws.
Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, (i) when the Issuance Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the purchasers, and have been issued by the Company against payment therefor in the circumstances contemplated by the Sales Agreement, the issue and sale of the Issuance Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Issuance Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and (ii) when and to the extent the Confirmation Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the purchasers, and have been issued by the Company against payment therefor in the circumstances contemplated by the Confirmation, the issue and sale of the Confirmation Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Confirmation Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the Corporations Code.
Our opinion is subject to: (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors; (ii) the effects of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith, fair dealing and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; (iii) the invalidity under certain
circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions for the indemnification or exculpation of, or contribution to, a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification, exculpation or contribution is contrary to public policy; and (iv) we express no opinion with respect to (a) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, service of process, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief, (b) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights, (c) waivers of rights or defenses contained in Section 515 of the Indenture, and waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights, (d) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies, (e) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations, (f) provisions for the payment of attorneys’ fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy and we call to your attention the provisions of Sections 1717 and 1717.5 of the California Civil Code, which limit and create obligations for the payment of attorneys’ fees, (g) provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any agreement, right or property, or the effect thereon of California Civil Code Section 711, (h) provisions for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty, (i) provisions permitting, upon acceleration of any indebtedness (including the Shares), collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon, and (j) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect.
With your consent, except to the extent we have expressly opined as to such matters with respect to the Company herein, we have assumed (a) that the Sales Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, (b) the Confirmations shall be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto in the form of the Form of Confirmation, (c) that the Sales Agreement and the Confirmations constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, and (d) that the status of the Sales Agreement and Confirmations as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.
This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 10-Q dated November 6, 2024 and to the reference to our firm contained in the prospectus for the offering of the Shares under the heading “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

ATM EQUITY OFFERING SALES AGREEMENT
November 6, 2024
To the Agents and Forward Purchasers listed on Schedule I
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Sempra, a California corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, that shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate gross sales price not to exceed $3,000,000,000, be offered and sold from time to time to or through Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”), BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofAS”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”), Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman”), J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPM”), Mizuho Securities USA LLC (“Mizuho”), Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS”), MUFG Securities Americas Inc. (“MUFG”), RBC Capital Markets, LLC (“RBC”), Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. (“Scotia”) and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”), as sales agents, principals and/or forward sellers (in any such capacity, each an “Agent”, and collectively, the “Agents”) and Barclays Bank PLC, Bank of America, N.A., Citibank, N.A., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Mizuho Markets Americas LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, MUFG Securities EMEA plc, Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, each as forward purchaser (in such capacity, each a “Forward Purchaser” and, collectively, the “Forward Purchasers”), on the terms set forth in this ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement. For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that, if Shares are offered or sold through any Agent acting as forward seller for the applicable Forward Purchaser, then such Agent, as forward seller, shall be acting as sales agent for such Forward Purchaser with respect to the offering and sale of such Shares, and, except in cases where this Agreement (as defined below) expressly refers to an Agent acting as sales agent for the Company or unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to any Agent acting as sales agent shall also be deemed to apply to such Agent when acting as forward seller, mutatis mutandis. The Company agrees that whenever it determines to sell Shares directly to an Agent as principal it will enter into a separate written Terms Agreement (each, a “Terms Agreement”), in substantially the form of Annex I hereto, relating to such sale in accordance with Section 2(k) hereof. References herein to “this Agreement” or to matters contained “herein” or “hereunder”, or words of similar import, mean this ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement and any applicable Terms Agreement.
The Company agrees that whenever the Company determines to enter into one or more forward stock purchase transactions with any of the Forward Purchasers, the Company and any of the applicable Forward Purchasers will enter into one or more separate letter agreements (each, a “Confirmation” and, collectively, the “Confirmations”), in substantially the form of Annex II hereto, relating to such sale in accordance with Section 2 hereof. Under each Confirmation, the Company will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such Confirmation and in this Agreement, deliver to the applicable Forward Purchaser, or an affiliate thereof (including the Agent affiliated with such Forward Purchaser), up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as may be sold in accordance with this Agreement in connection with such Confirmation. In connection with any Confirmation entered into as contemplated by this Agreement, it is contemplated that the applicable Forward Purchaser will attempt to borrow and then offer, through its affiliated Agent, acting as forward seller and sales agent on behalf of such Forward Purchaser, the applicable Shares for sale on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and such Confirmation.
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-272237), which registration statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the rules and regulations of the Commission (the “Securities Act Regulations”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The “Registration Statement”, as of any time, means
such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto at such time, including the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule 430B of the Securities Act Regulations (“Rule 430B”), but excluding any Form T-1 (as defined below), or any subsequent registration statement on Form S-3 filed pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act by the Company with respect to the Shares; provided, however, that the “Registration Statement” without reference to a time means such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendments thereto, or any subsequent registration statement on Form S-3 filed pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act by the Company with respect to the Shares, as of the time of the first contract of sale for the Shares, which time shall be considered the “new effective date” of the Registration Statement with respect to the Shares within the meaning of paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 430B (“Rule 430B(f)(2)”), including the exhibits and schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule 430B, but excluding any Form T-1. The base prospectus filed as part of such registration statement or any subsequent registration statement on Form S-3 filed pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act by the Company with respect to the Shares, as amended in the form in which it has been filed most recently with the Commission in accordance with Section 3(b) or 3(c) hereof, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, is referred to herein as the “Base Prospectus”. Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus supplement relating to the Shares in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act Regulations (“Rule 424(b)”). Such prospectus supplement, as amended by the prospectus supplement filed most recently with the Commission in accordance with Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(n) hereof, as the case may be, including the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, is referred to herein as the “Prospectus Supplement”. The Base Prospectus, as amended by the Prospectus Supplement and any applicable pricing supplement thereto, in the form in which the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement and any such pricing supplement has been filed most recently with the Commission in accordance with Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(n) hereof, as the case may be, are collectively referred to herein as the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (or any successor system) (“EDGAR”).
As used in this Agreement:
“Applicable Time” means, with respect to any offer and sale of Shares, the time immediately prior to the first contract of sale for such Shares, or such other time as agreed by the Company and the applicable Agents.
“General Disclosure Package” means each Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus, if any, issued prior to the Applicable Time (other than a “road show” that is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, but is not required to be filed under Rule 433 under the Securities Act), the most recent Prospectus filed with the Commission in accordance with Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(n) hereof that is distributed to investors prior to the Applicable Time and the number of Shares and the offering price per Share, all considered together.
“Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act Regulations (“Rule 433”), including, without limitation, any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) relating to the Shares that is (i) required to be filed with the Commission by the Company, (ii) a “road show that is a written communication” within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether or not required to be filed with the Commission, or (iii) exempt from filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) because it contains a description of the Shares or of the offering thereof that does not reflect the final terms, in each case in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g).
“Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus approved by the Agents or, in the case of a specific offer and sale of Shares, the applicable Agent(s) pursuant to Section 3(l) hereof that is furnished to such Agent(s), as the case may be, for general distribution to investors, as evidenced by communications between the Company and the Agents or such Agent(s), as the case may be.
“Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not an Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to documents, financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included,” “made,” “stated” or “referred to” (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such documents, financial statements and schedules and other information incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, prior to the Applicable Time relating to the particular Shares; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act Regulations”) incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, after the most recent effective date of such Registration Statement or the filing date of such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus.
Section 1. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers at the date of this Agreement, each Registration Statement Amendment Date (as defined in Section 3(o) hereof), each Company Periodic Report Date (as defined in Section 3(n) hereof), each Company Earnings Report Date (as defined in Section 3(o) hereof), each Applicable Time and each Settlement Date (as defined in Section 2(h) hereof) (collectively, a “Representation Date”), and agrees with the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, as follows:
(i)Accurate Disclosure. At each Applicable Time, (A) the General Disclosure Package and (B) any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, did not contain and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this subsection (i) shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the General Disclosure Package or any individual Issuer Limited Use Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent Information (as defined in Section 6(b) hereof).
(ii)Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. No Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including any document incorporated by reference therein, that has not been superseded or modified. Any offer that is a written communication relating to the Shares made prior to the initial filing of the Registration Statement by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph only, of Rule 163(c) of the Securities Act Regulations) has been filed with the Commission in accordance with the exemption provided by Rule 163 of the Securities Act Regulations (“Rule 163”) and otherwise complied with the requirements of Rule 163, including, without limitation, the legending requirement, to qualify such offer for the exemption from Section 5(c) of the Securities Act provided by Rule 163.
(iii)Compliance of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act Regulations. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act Regulations that became effective not earlier than three years prior to the date hereof; and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to
Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act Regulations has been received by the Company. The Registration Statement, at the respective times the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto became effective and as of each deemed effective date with respect to the Agents and Forward Purchasers pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2), and the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus, as of each Representation Date, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations (including Rule 415(a) of the Securities Act Regulations), and the Registration Statement at its effective time and at each Representation Date did not, does not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. No order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act against the Company or related to the offering of the Shares have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with. The Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of its issue date, at the time of any filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or at any Settlement Date, does not and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this subsection (iii) shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent Information or the information contained in any Statement of Eligibility and Qualification of a trustee under the Trust Indenture Act filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (a “Form T-1”).
(iv)Compliance of the Incorporated Documents. The documents filed by the Company and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Regulations and, when read together and with the other information in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package, at the respective times the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto became effective, at any Representation Date and at any Settlement Date, did not, do not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(v)Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (A) At the original effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Shares in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163, (D) at the date of this ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement and any Terms Agreement, and (E) at each Applicable Time, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer,” as defined in Rule 405.
(vi)Company Not Ineligible Issuer. (A) At the time of filing the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, (B) at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the Securities Act Regulations) of the Shares, (C) at the date of this ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement and any Terms Agreement and (D) at each Applicable Time, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405, without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an ineligible issuer.
(vii)No Material Adverse Change of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 2. Sale and Delivery of Shares.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to (i) issue and sell Shares through the applicable Agent acting as sales agent of the Company or directly to the applicable Agent or Agents acting as principal(s) from time to time or (ii) enter into a Confirmation with any Forward Purchaser and, in consultation with such Forward Purchaser and the applicable Agent (which shall be an affiliate of such Forward Purchaser), instruct such Agent, acting as forward seller on behalf of such Forward Purchaser, to offer and sell the Shares borrowed by such Forward Purchaser from third parties as contemplated by such Confirmation. Sales of the Shares, if any, through an Agent acting as sales agent of the Company or directly to an Agent acting as principal or as forward seller on behalf of any Forward Purchaser will be made in (1) negotiated transactions, which may include block trades, as the Company and such Agent may agree or (2) “at the market” offerings (as defined in Rule 415
under the Securities Act Regulations) by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, including sales made directly on the NYSE, sales made to or through market makers and sales made through other securities exchanges or electronic communications networks or by any other method permitted by applicable law as otherwise agreed between the applicable Agent and the Company. Sales of Shares, if any, purchased by an Agent as principal will be made as provided in the applicable Terms Agreement and the applicable pricing supplement prepared in connection with the offering of those Shares.
(b)The Shares to be sold to an Agent as sales agent of the Company or as forward seller are to be sold on any day (other than a day on which the NYSE is closed)(each, a “Trading Day”) on which (i) the Company has instructed such Agent, as sales agent of the Company or as forward seller, to make such sales, (ii) the Company has satisfied its covenants and conditions specified in Sections 4 and 5 hereof, (iii) the respective Agent has agreed to act as Agent with respect to such sales and (iv) if such Shares are to be sold by such Agent as forward seller, the Company shall have entered into a Confirmation with the applicable Forward Purchaser. On any Trading Day, the Company may sell Shares through only one Agent and, if it determines to do so, shall instruct the applicable Agent by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by such Agent and any applicable Forward Purchaser) as to the maximum number of Shares to be sold on such Trading Day and the minimum price per Share at which such Shares may be sold. Such instruction shall also specify whether such Shares will be borrowed by a Forward Purchaser and sold through the applicable Agent, as forward seller, in connection with hedging a forward stock purchase transaction pursuant to a Confirmation in accordance with clause (ii) of the paragraph above. Subject to the terms and conditions specified herein (including, without limitation, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations contained herein and the satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 5 hereof), such Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations, to sell all of the Shares so designated by the Company as sales agent in accordance with such instruction. On any Trading Day, the Company shall give at least one business day’s prior written notice by telecopy or email to the applicable Agents or Forward Purchasers as to any change of the Agent or Forward Purchaser through whom sales of Shares as sales agent of the Company or as forward seller will be made. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitation on sales through only one Agent per Trading Day shall not apply to sales solely to employees or security holders of the Company or its subsidiaries or to a trustee or other person acquiring shares of the Company’s Common Stock for the accounts of such persons in which either Barclays, BofAS, Citigroup, Goldman, JPM, Mizuho, MS, MUFG, RBC, Scotia or WFS is acting for the Company in a capacity other than as Agent or Forward Purchaser under this Agreement. The Company, Agents and Forward Purchasers each acknowledge and agree that (A) there can be no assurance that any Agent will be successful in selling any Shares, (B) the Agents (whether acting on behalf of the Company or as forward seller on behalf of the related Forward Purchaser) will not incur any liability or obligation to the Company if they fail to sell Shares for any reason other than a failure to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with their respective normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations, to sell such Shares as required by this Agreement and (C) no Agent or Forward Purchaser shall incur any liability for not borrowing, offering or selling any Shares as a result of the circumstances set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2(l).
(c)The Company or the Agent through whom the sale of Shares are to be made as sales agent of the Company or as forward seller on any Trading Day may, upon notice to the applicable Agent or the Company, respectively, by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email, which confirmation will be promptly acknowledged by the receiving party), suspend the offering of Shares with respect to which such Agent is acting as sales agent of the Company or as forward seller for any reason and at any time; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair such parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Shares sold, or with respect to Shares that the Company has agreed to sell, hereunder prior to the giving of such notice (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be able to specify or modify the Hedge Completion Date (as defined in the Confirmations) pursuant to any Confirmation in its discretion as provided therein).
(d)The gross sales price of any Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement by the applicable Agent acting as sales agent shall be equal to, in the discretion of such Agent but subject to the specific instructions of the Company, the market price prevailing at the time of sale for the Shares sold by such Agent on the NYSE or otherwise, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The compensation payable to an
Agent for sales of Shares with respect to which such Agent acts as sales agent shall be at a mutually agreed upon rate, not to exceed 1.0% of the gross sales price for such Shares. With respect to sales of Shares by an Agent as sales agent of the Company, the remaining proceeds, after further deduction for any transaction fees, transfer taxes or similar taxes or fees imposed by any governmental entity or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Company for such sales (the “Net Proceeds”), payment of which shall be made to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company against delivery to the applicable Agents of the Shares purchased by them. The applicable Agent shall notify the Company as promptly as practicable if any deduction referenced in the preceding sentence will be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company engages an Agent as sales agent for the sale of Shares that would constitute a “distribution” within the meaning of Rule 100 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the Company and such Agent will agree to compensation for such Agent that is customary for such sales. For the avoidance of doubt, the compensation and commissions payable pursuant to this Section 2(d) all constitute consideration for services rendered and not consideration for the applicable Shares.
(e)If acting as sales agent hereunder, the applicable Agent shall provide written confirmation to the Company following the close of trading on the NYSE on each Trading Day on which Shares are sold under this Agreement setting forth the number of Shares sold on such day, the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Shares, the aggregate Net Proceeds to the Company or the aggregate net proceeds to the applicable Forward Purchaser and the aggregate compensation payable by the Company to such Agent with respect to such sales.
(f)Under no circumstances shall the aggregate gross sales price for or number of, as the case may be, Shares offered or sold pursuant to this Agreement, or which are the subject of instructions to an Agent as sales agent pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, exceed the aggregate gross sales price for or number of, as the case may be, Shares (i) referred to in the preamble paragraph of this Agreement, as reduced by prior sales of Shares under this Agreement, (ii) available for sale under the Registration Statement or (iii) duly authorized from time to time to be issued and sold under this Agreement by the Company or approved for listing on the NYSE. In addition, under no circumstances shall any Shares with respect to which the Agent acts as sales agent be offered or sold, or be the subject of instructions to an Agent as sales agent pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, at a price lower than the minimum price therefor duly authorized from time to time by the Company and notified to the Agent(s) in writing (email shall constitute written notice for this Section 2(f)). The Agents shall have no responsibility for maintaining records with respect to Shares available for sale under the Registration Statement or for determining the aggregate gross sales price, number or minimum price of Shares duly authorized by the Company.
(g)If the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied with respect to the Company or the Shares, the Company shall promptly notify the Agents and future offers and sales of Shares through the Agents on an agented basis under this ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party.
(h)Settlement for sales of Shares will occur on the first business day that is also a Trading Day following the trade date on which such sales are made, unless another date shall be agreed to in writing by the Company and the applicable Agents (each such day, a “Settlement Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confirmations shall be settled separately in accordance with their terms. On each Settlement Date for the sale of Shares through an Agent as sales agent of the Company, such Shares shall be delivered by the Company to such Agent in book-entry form to such Agent’s account at The Depository Trust Company against payment by such Agent of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Shares in same day funds delivered to an account designated by the Company. If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Shares through an Agent as sales agent of the Company on any Settlement Date, the Company shall (i) indemnify and hold such Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company and (ii) pay such Agent any commission to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default.
(i)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not offer or sell, or instruct an Agent to offer or sell, any Shares through an Agent as sales agent of the Company or as forward seller (and, by notice to the applicable Agents given by telephone (confirmed promptly by telecopy or email), shall cancel
any instructions for any such offer or sale of any Shares prior to the commencement of the periods referenced below), and the Agents shall not be obligated to make any such offer or sale of Shares, during any period in which the Company is in possession of material non-public information.
(j)If the Company wishes to offer or sell Shares to an Agent as sales agent of the Company or as forward seller at any time during the period from and including the time the Company issues a press release containing, or shall otherwise publicly announce, its earnings, revenues or other operating results for a fiscal period or periods (each, an “Earnings Announcement”) through and including the time that is 24 hours after the time that the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on Form 10-K that includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the same fiscal period or periods, as the case may be, covered by such Earnings Announcement, the Company shall first (i) prepare and deliver to such Agent and the applicable Forward Purchaser (with a copy to counsel for the Agents and the Forward Purchasers) a Current Report on Form 8-K that includes substantially the same financial and related information (together with management’s discussion and analysis thereof) that was included in such Earnings Announcement (other than any earnings projections and similar forward-looking data and officers’ quotations) (each, an “Earnings 8-K”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Agent and Forward Purchaser, and, prior to its filing, obtain the written consent of such Agent and Forward Purchaser to such filing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) provide such Agent with the officers’ certificate, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letter specified in Section 3(o), (p) and (q), respectively, hereof, (iii) afford such Agent and Forward Purchaser the opportunity to conduct a due diligence review in accordance with Section 3(s) hereof prior to filing such Earnings 8-K and (iv) file such Earnings 8-K with the Commission. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that (A) the delivery of any officers’ certificate, opinion or letter of counsel or accountants’ letter pursuant to this Section 2(j) shall not relieve the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, including, without limitation, the obligation to deliver officers’ certificates, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letters as provided in Section 3(o), (p) and (q), respectively, hereof unless such obligations have been waived hereunder, and (B) this Section 2(j) shall in no way affect or limit the operation of clause (i) of Section 2(i) hereof, which shall have independent application.
(k)The Agents shall not have any obligation to purchase Shares as principal, whether from the Company or otherwise, unless the Company and the applicable Agent(s) agree as set forth in this Section 2(k). Shares purchased from the Company by the applicable Agent(s), individually or in a syndicate, as principal shall be made in accordance with terms agreed upon between such Agent(s) and the Company as evidenced by a Terms Agreement. The applicable Agents’ commitment to purchase Shares from the Company as principal shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company, and performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations, herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. At the time of each Terms Agreement, the applicable Agent(s) shall specify the requirements, if any, for the officers’ certificate, opinions and letters of counsel and accountants’ letter pursuant to Section 3(o), (p) and (q), respectively, hereof. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement and a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement shall control.
(l)As set out in the Confirmations and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that either (i) a Forward Purchaser is unable to borrow and deliver any Shares for sale under this Agreement pursuant to the terms of such Confirmation, or (ii) in the commercially reasonable judgment of a Forward Purchaser, it is either impracticable to do so or the Forward Purchaser would incur a stock loan cost that is equal to or greater than the rate per annum set forth in Section 7(f)(i) of the applicable Confirmation, then the applicable Agent, as forward seller, shall be obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell only the aggregate number of Shares that such Forward Purchaser is able to, and that in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Forward Purchaser it is practicable to, so borrow below such cost. For the avoidance of doubt, any obligation hereunder with respect to the borrowing of or offer or sale of any Shares in connection with a forward stock purchase transaction shall be subject to the related Confirmation being effective and not having been terminated.
Section 3. Covenants. The Company agrees with the Agents and the Forward Purchasers:
(a)Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests. The Company, subject to Section 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 430B, and will notify the Agents and the Forward Purchasers promptly, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement, in each case relating to the Shares for sale under this Agreement, shall become effective or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall have been filed (other than an amendment or supplement providing solely for the determination of the terms of an offering of securities unless related to an offering of Shares for sale under this Agreement, as to which the Company will only be obligated to notify the applicable Agents and Forward Purchasers, and other than an amendment or supplement through incorporation of any report or other document filed under the Exchange Act), (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission relating to the Registration Statement, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein, or for additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or any notice of objection to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) or of the issuance of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus relating to an offering of Shares for sale under this Agreement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or of the suspension of the qualification of any Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act concerning the Registration Statement and (v) if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the Securities Act in connection with any offering of Shares. In connection with a Terms Agreement, the Company will prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(c) hereof, a pricing supplement with respect to the offer and sale of Shares covered by such Terms Agreement. The Company will effect all filings required under Rule 424(b), in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)). The Company will make reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop, prevention or suspension order and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof promptly. In the event of any issuance of a notice of objection by the Commission, the Company shall take all commercially reasonable action to permit offers and sales of Shares by or through the Agents, including, without limitation, amending the Registration Statement or filing a new shelf registration statement relating thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file such amendment or supplement if the Company has not instructed any Agent to sell Shares as provided in Section 2(b) and the Company believes that it is in its best interests not to file such amendment or supplement. The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Shares prior to the time the initial Prospectus Supplement is filed with the Commission or the time any subsequent Prospectus Supplement that increases the aggregate gross sales price or number of Shares that may offered and sold under this Agreement from that referenced in the immediately preceding Prospectus Supplement filed with the Commission.
(b)Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all material respects with the Securities Act, the Securities Act Regulations, the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of sales of Shares as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. If at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered (or but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations would be required to be delivered) under the 1933 Act Regulations in connection with sales of Shares, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Agents or counsel to the Company, to (i) amend the Registration Statement in order that the Registration Statement will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus in order that the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser or (iii) amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as the case may be in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities Act Regulations, the Exchange Act or the Exchange Act Regulations, the Company will promptly (A) give the Agents and Forward Purchasers or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agents as principal, such Agents written notice of such event or condition, (B) prepare any amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such
statement or omission or to comply with such requirements and, a reasonable amount of time prior to any proposed filing or use, furnish the Agents and Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, with copies of any such amendment or supplement and (C) file with the Commission any such amendment or supplement and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable if the Company is no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement; provided, however, that, during any period in which the Company has instructed any Agent to sell Shares as provided in Section 2(b), the Company shall not file or use any such amendment or supplement to which the Agents and Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, or counsel for the Agents and Forward Purchasers shall reasonably object. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file such amendment or supplement if the Company has not instructed any Agent to sell Shares as provided in Section 2(b) and the Company believes that it is in its best interests not to file such amendment or supplement.
(c)Filing or Use of Amendments and Supplements. The Company will give the Agents and Forward Purchasers or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agents as principal, such Agents written notice of its intention to file or use (i) any amendment to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (other than (A) an amendment or supplement thereto relating solely to the offering of securities unless related to an offering of Shares and (B) an amendment through incorporation by reference of any report or document filed under the Exchange Act that contains no more information related to the matters contemplated by this Agreement than is necessary to comply with Section 3(n) hereof), if such proposed amendment or supplement relates to the matters contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any new Prospectus Supplement that includes information in addition to the information referred to in Section 3(n) hereof or (iii) a pricing supplement disclosing the offer and sale of Shares covered by a Terms Agreement, will furnish the Agents and Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, with copies of any such document a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the Agents and Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, or counsel for the Agents and Forward Purchasers shall reasonably object.
(d)Delivery of Registration Statements. The Company has furnished or, to the extent not available on EDGAR, will deliver to the Agents, Forward Purchasers and counsel for the Agents and Forward Purchasers, without charge, upon written request, signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) and signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts. The signed copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Agents, Forward Purchasers and counsel for the Agents and Forward Purchasers will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(e)Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company will furnish to the Agents and Forward Purchasers or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agents as principal, such Agents, without charge, upon execution of this Agreement and thereafter during the period in which a prospectus is (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the Securities Act Regulations (“Rule 172”), would be) required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with any offer or sale of Shares, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as the Agents and Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, may reasonably request. The Company will also furnish, upon request of the Agents and Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) to each exchange or market on which sales of Shares were made as may be required by the rules and regulations of such exchange or market. The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished in accordance with this Section 3(e) will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(f)Reporting Requirements. The Company, during the period in which a prospectus is (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172, would be) required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with any offer or sale of Shares, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods prescribed by, and meeting the requirements of, the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations.
(g)Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the Agents and Forward Purchasers or, in the case of an offer and sale of Shares to the applicable Agents as principal, such Agents to qualify the Shares, including any Confirmation Shares for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and non-U.S. jurisdictions as the Agents and Forward Purchasers or such Agents, as the case may be, may, from time to time, reasonably designate and to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required to complete the sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or not already so subject or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.
(h)Earnings Statement. The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the Exchange Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable after each effective date of the Registration Statement an earnings statement of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (which need not be audited) complying with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations (including, at the option of the Company, Rule 158), which requirement may be satisfied by publicly filing the required information on EDGAR.
(i)Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the Net Proceeds received by it from the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement in the manner specified in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds.”
(j)Listing. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect and maintain the listing of the Shares and any Confirmation Shares on, and satisfy the requirements of, the NYSE.
(k)Notice of Certain Actions. During any period in which the Company has instructed any Agent to sell Shares as provided in Section 2(b), the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Agents, unless it gives the Agents and the Forward Purchasers at least three business days’ prior written notice, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (collectively, “Convertible Securities”) or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock, any such Convertible Securities or any such other securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock, any Convertible Securities or any such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) file any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) the Shares, if any, sold by the Company hereunder, (B) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of or exchange for a Convertible Security outstanding on the date hereof, (C) the issuance by the Company of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in connection with any bona fide merger, acquisition, business combination or other strategic or commercial relationship, to a third party or a group of third parties, provided that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (including for purposes of such calculation the shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion, exercise, exchange or redemption of any such Convertible Securities) that the Company may sell or issue or agree to sell pursuant to this clause (C) shall not exceed 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding as of the date hereof, (D) the issuance by the Company of any shares of Common Stock or options to purchase Common Stock or units or phantom shares convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock currently outstanding or hereafter granted or issued pursuant to benefit plans, long-term incentive plans, savings (e.g. 401(k)) plans and other compensation plans of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in which employees and/or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries participate and which are referred to in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or the documents filed with the Commission prior to the date of this Agreement that are incorporated by reference therein, or the filing of a registration statement or a post-effective amendment thereto relating to any such plan, (E) the issuance by the Company of any shares of Common Stock or options to purchase Common Stock or units or phantom shares convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock currently outstanding or hereafter granted or issued pursuant to dividend reinvestment or direct stock purchase plans and which are referred to in the

Upon receipt of any written notice contemplated above, an Agent or Forward Purchaser may suspend its activity under this Agreement for such period of time as deemed appropriate by such Agent or Forward Purchaser.
(l)Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. At all times during such period as the Prospectus is required to be delivered (or but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 of the 1933 Act Regulations would be required to be delivered) in connection with sales of the Shares, the Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the applicable Agents and Forward Purchasers, it will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” or a portion thereof, required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433. The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each such free writing prospectus consented to by the applicable Agents and Forward Purchasers as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and that it will comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 433 with respect thereto, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the applicable Agents and Forward Purchasers and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.
(m)No Stabilization or Manipulation. The Company agrees that neither it nor any controlled affiliate of the Company will take, directly or indirectly, any action which is designed, or would reasonably be expected, to cause or result in, or which constitutes, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any Shares or to result in a violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
(n)Update of Activity under this Agreement. The Company shall disclose (i) in each Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Company in respect of any fiscal quarterly period (which, in the case of an Annual Report on Form 10-K, would mean the last quarterly period of the fiscal year) in which sales of Shares were made by or through an Agent under this Agreement (each date on which any such document is filed, a “Company Periodic Report Date”), or (ii) to the extent required by applicable law and/or interpretations of the Commission, in Prospectus Supplements for each such fiscal quarterly period, the number of Shares sold by or through the Agents under this Agreement during such fiscal quarterly period and the net proceeds received by the Company and the aggregate compensation paid by the Company to the Agents with respect to such sales.
(o)Delivery of Future Officers’ Certificates. Upon commencement of the offering of Shares under this Agreement, (A) each time Shares are delivered to the applicable Agents as principal on a Settlement Date with respect to the sale of Shares under this Agreement, and (B) promptly after each (i) date on which the Registration Statement shall be amended or a new registration statement relating to the offer and sale of Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall become effective or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented (other than (1) by an amendment or supplement providing solely for the determination of the terms of securities, including the Shares, (2) in connection with the filing of a Prospectus Supplement that contains solely the information referred to in Section 3(n) hereof, (3) in connection with the filing of any Current Report on Form 8-K (other than an Earnings 8-K and any other Current Report on Form 8-K which contains financial statements, supporting schedules or other financial data, including any Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 2.02 of such form that is considered “filed” under the Exchange Act), (4) any amendment or supplement through incorporation of any report or other document filed under the Exchange Act that contains no more information related to the matters contemplated by this Agreement than is necessary to comply with Section 3(n) hereof, or (5) by a prospectus supplement relating to the offering of securities
other than the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, other shares of Common Stock)) (each such date, a “Registration Statement Amendment Date”), (ii) date on which an Earnings 8-K shall be filed with the Commission as contemplated by Section 2(j) hereof (a “Company Earnings Report Date”) and (iii) Company Periodic Report Date, the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents and Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, the applicable Agents an officers’ certificate, dated such Settlement Date, such Registration Statement Amendment Date, such Company Earnings Report Date or such Company Periodic Report Date, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and Forward Purchasers, or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, to the effect that the statements contained in the officers’ certificates referred to in Sections 5(f) and 5(h) hereof that were last furnished to the Agents and Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, are true and correct as of the date of such certificates as though made at and as of the date of such certificates (except that such statements shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented at the date of such certificates) or, in lieu of such certificates, a certificate or certificates of the same tenor as the certificate or certificates referred to in Sections 5(f) and 5(h) hereof, but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented at the date of such certificate. As used in this Section 3(o), to the extent there shall be a sale of Shares on or following any Registration Statement Amendment Date, Company Earnings Report Date or Company Periodic Report Date, “promptly” shall be deemed to be at or prior to the Applicable Time for such sale.
The requirement to cause to be furnished officers’ certificates pursuant to this Section 3(o) shall be waived for any Registration Statement Amendment Date or Company Periodic Report Date occurring at a time at which the Company has not instructed any Agent to sell Shares as provided in Section 2(b), which waiver shall continue until the date on which the Company delivers such an instruction as provided in Section 2(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following any Registration Statement Amendment Date or Company Periodic Report Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers officers’ certificates pursuant to this Section 3(o), then before the Company instructs any Agent to sell any Shares or enters into any Terms Agreement with any Agent or Agents, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers officers’ certificates pursuant to this Section 3(o) dated as of the date of delivery thereof.
(p)Delivery of Future Opinions and Letters of Counsel. Upon commencement of the offering of Shares under this Agreement, (A) each time Shares are delivered to the applicable Agents as principal on a Settlement Date with respect to the sale of Shares under this Agreement and (B) promptly after each Registration Statement Amendment Date, Company Earnings Report Date or Company Periodic Report Date, the Company will, unless the Agents or Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, the applicable Agents agree otherwise, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, the applicable Agents the written opinions and letters of each of counsel to the Company (who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers) or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be,) and counsel to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, dated such Settlement Date, such Registration Statement Amendment Date, such Company Earnings Report Date or such Company Periodic Report Date, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, of the same tenor as the respective opinions and letters referred to in Section 5(b) and 5(c), as applicable, hereof but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the date of such opinion and letter or, in lieu of any such opinion and letter, counsel last furnishing such opinion and letter to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, shall furnish the Agents and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, with a letter substantially to the effect that the Agents and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, may rely on such counsel’s last opinion and letter to the same extent as though each were dated the date of such letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last opinion and letter shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter authorizing reliance). As used in this Section 3(p), to the extent there shall be a sale of Shares on or following any Registration Statement Amendment Date, Company Earnings
Report Date or Company Periodic Report Date, “promptly” shall be deemed to be at or prior to the Applicable Time for such sale.
The requirement to cause to be furnished the opinions and letters pursuant to this Section 3(p) shall be waived for any Registration Statement Amendment Date or Company Periodic Report Date occurring at a time at which the Company has not instructed any Agent to sell Shares as provided in Section 2(b), which waiver shall continue until the date on which the Company delivers such an instruction as provided in Section 2(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following any Registration Statement Amendment Date or Company Periodic Report Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers the opinions and letters pursuant to this Section 3(p), then before the Company instructs any Agent to sell any Shares or enters into any Terms Agreement with any Agent or Agents, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers the opinions and letters pursuant to this Section 3(p) dated as of the date of delivery thereof.
(q)Delivery of Future Accountants’ Letters. Upon commencement of the offering of Shares under this Agreement, (A) each time Shares are delivered to the applicable Agents as principal on a Settlement Date with respect to the sale of Shares under this Agreement and (B) promptly after each Registration Statement Amendment Date, Company Earnings Report Date or Company Periodic Report Date, the Company will, unless the Agents or Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, the applicable Agents agree otherwise, cause each of (i) its independent accountants and (ii) Oncor Holdings’ independent accountants to furnish to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers or, in the case of clause (A) above, the applicable Agents a letter, dated such Settlement Date, such Registration Statement Amendment Date, such Company Earnings Report Date or such Company Periodic Report Date, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, or, in the case of clause (A) above, such Agents, as the case may be, of the same tenor as the letters referred to in Section 5(d) hereof but modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter. As used in this paragraph, to the extent there shall be a sale of Shares on or following any Registration Statement Amendment Date, Company Earnings Report Date or Company Periodic Report Date, “promptly” shall be deemed to be at or prior to the Applicable Time for such sale.
The requirement to cause to be furnished accountant letters pursuant to this Section 3(q) shall be waived for any Registration Statement Amendment Date or Company Periodic Report Date occurring at a time at which the Company has not instructed any Agent to sell Shares as provided in Section 2(b), which waiver shall continue until the date on which the Company delivers such an instruction as provided in Section 2(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Shares following any Registration Statement Amendment Date or Company Periodic Report Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers accountant letters pursuant to this Section 3(q), then before the Company instructs any Agent to sell any Shares or enters into any Terms Agreement with any Agent or Agents, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Agents accountant letters pursuant to this Section 3(q) dated as of the date of delivery thereof.
(r)Trading in the Common Stock. The Company consents to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers trading in the Company’s Common Stock for their own account and for the account of their clients at the same time as sales of Shares occur pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not responsible for the compliance by the Agents or the Forward Purchasers or their respective affiliates with laws and regulations (including Regulation M) that apply to them with respect to any such trading.
(s)[Reserved.]
(t)Due Diligence Review. The Company will cooperate with any due diligence review reasonably requested by the Agents and the Forward Purchasers or counsel for the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, fully and in a timely manner, in connection with offers and sales of Shares from time to time, including, without limitation, and upon reasonable notice, providing information and making available documents and appropriate corporate officers, during regular business hours and at the Company’s principal offices.
(u)Renewal. If, immediately prior to the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Renewal Deadline”), Shares remain unsold hereunder and this Agreement is still in effect and any Shares purchased by an Agent as principal, or to be sold through an Agent as sales agent or as forward seller pursuant to a Company instruction, remain unsold, the Company will, prior to the Renewal Deadline, (i) promptly notify the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, (ii) promptly file, if it is eligible to do so, a new automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Shares, in a form and substance satisfactory to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, (iii) promptly notify the Agents and the Forward Purchasers of such filing and (iv) prepare a prospectus supplement relating to the Shares and, promptly after the effectiveness of such new registration statement, file such prospectus supplement, together with the base prospectus filed as part of such registration statement, with the Commission in accordance of the provisions of Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act Regulations. If, at the time the Company intends to file such a new automatic shelf registration statement, it is not eligible to do so, the Company will, prior to the Renewal Deadline, (a) promptly notify the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, (b) promptly file a new shelf registration statement on the proper form relating to the Shares, in a form and substance satisfactory to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, (c) use its best efforts to cause such new shelf registration statement to be declared effective within 60 days after the Renewal Deadline or, if Shares purchased by an Agent as principal remain unsold, use its best efforts to cause such new shelf registration statement to be declared effective as soon as reasonably possible after the Renewal Deadline, (d) promptly notify the Agents and the Forward Purchasers of such effectiveness and (e) prepare a prospectus supplement relating to the Shares and, promptly after the effectiveness of such new registration statement, file such prospectus supplement, together with the base prospectus filed as part of such new registration statement, with the Commission in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act Regulations. In the event that the Company files a new shelf registration statement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall not be required to certify or otherwise represent, pursuant to Section 5(f) or otherwise, that the representation contained in Section 1(v) hereof is true and correct with respect to such registration statement. In addition, the Company may, at its option, file a new automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Shares (which, upon effectiveness, shall replace the then-existing shelf registration statement relating to the Shares) for any reason at any time, so long as (1) this Agreement is still in effect and (2) no Shares purchased by any Agent as principal remain unsold or Shares are to be sold through an Agent as sales agent or forward seller pursuant to a Company instruction, and provided that the Company (w) notifies the Agents and the Forward Purchasers prior to filing such new automatic shelf registration statement, (x) files a new automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Shares in a form and substance satisfactory to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, (y) promptly notifies the Agents and Forward Purchases of such filing and (z) prepares a prospectus supplement relating to the Shares and, promptly after the effectiveness of such new registration statement, files such prospectus supplement, together with the base prospectus filed as part of such registration statement, with the Commission in accordance with the provisions of Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act Regulations. In each of the foregoing cases, the Company will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the offering and sale of the Shares to continue as contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus in effect immediately prior to the filing of any such new shelf registration statement. From and after the effectiveness of any such new shelf registration statement, references herein to the “Registration Statement” and references to “such registration statement” appearing in the second and third sentences of the fourth paragraph of this Agreement shall be deemed to mean such new registration statement, mutatis mutandis, and, from and after the filing of any such new prospectus supplement and base prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act Regulations, references herein to the “Prospectus Supplement” and the “Base Prospectus,” the reference to the “base prospectus” appearing in the third sentence of the fourth paragraph of this Agreement, the reference to “a prospectus supplement” appearing in the fourth sentence of the fourth paragraph of this Agreement, and the reference to “such prospectus supplement” appearing in the fifth sentence of the fourth paragraph of this Agreement, shall be deemed to mean such new prospectus supplement or such new base prospectus, as applicable, mutatis mutandis.
(v)Ceasing Eligibility For Use of Automatic Shelf Registration Statement Form. If, at any time, during the term of this Agreement or otherwise when Shares purchased by an Agent as principal remain unsold, the Company receives a notice from the Commission pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) or otherwise ceases to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration statement form, the Company will (i) promptly notify the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, (ii) promptly file a new shelf registration statement or post-effective amendment on the proper form relating to such Shares, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and the Forward Purchasers, (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such new shelf registration statement or post-effective amendment
to be declared effective as soon as practicable and (iv) promptly notify the Agents and the Forward Purchasers of such effectiveness. The Company will take all commercially reasonable action necessary or appropriate to permit the offering and sale of the Shares to continue as contemplated in the Registration Statement that was the subject of the Rule 401(g)(2) notice or for which the Company has otherwise become ineligible.

Section 6. Indemnification.
(a)Indemnification of the Agents and Forward Purchasers. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each Forward Purchaser against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Agent or Forward Purchaser may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any other prospectus relating to the Shares, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Agent and each Forward Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Agent or Forward Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any other prospectus relating to the Shares or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent Information.
(b)Indemnification of Company. Each Agent and Forward Purchaser, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any other prospectus relating to the Shares, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any preliminary prospectus, the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any other prospectus relating to the Shares or any such amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with the Agent Information and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. As used in this Agreement with respect to an Agent and a Forward Purchaser and an applicable document, “Agent Information” shall mean the written information furnished to the Company by such Agent or Forward Purchaser expressly for use therein; it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by any Agent or Forward Purchaser consists of such Agent’s or Forward Purchaser’s name appearing in the Prospectus.
(c)Actions against Parties; Notification. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under such subsection to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Agents and Forward Purchasers shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the Agents and Forward Purchasers and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Agents or Forward Purchasers against the Company under this Section 6 if the Agents and Forward Purchasers shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Agents and Forward Purchasers and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons that are different from or additional to those available to the Company and its officers, directors, employees and controlling persons and the Forward Purchasers shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the Forward Purchasers and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Forward Purchasers against the Company or any Agent under this Section 6 if the Forward Purchasers shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Forward Purchasers and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons that are different from or additional to those available to the Company and its officers, directors, employees and controlling persons (if the indemnifying person is the Company) or different from or additional to those available to the Agents and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (if the indemnifying person is any Agent), and in each case the fees and expenses of a single separate counsel for the Agents and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (in addition to local counsel) shall be paid by the Company and the fees and expenses of a single separate counsel for the Forward Purchasers and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (in addition to local counsel) shall be paid by the Company or the applicable Agent or Agents, as the case may be. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement or compromise of, or the consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder effected without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but, if settled or compromised with the indemnifying party’s consent, or if judgment shall be entered following consent to the entry of such judgment given with the indemnifying party’s consent, or if there shall otherwise be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified party against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, by reason of such settlement, compromise or judgment, as the case may be. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d)Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand, and the applicable Agents and Forward Purchasers on the other, from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then in each case each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the applicable Agents and Forward Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the applicable Agents and Forward Purchasers on the other, in connection with the applicable offering of Shares, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as (x) in the case of the Company, the total net proceeds from the offering of the Shares(before deducting expenses) received by the Company (such total net proceeds shall include the total proceeds that would be received by the Company pursuant to any Confirmations assuming full physical settlement of such Confirmations assuming the aggregate amount payable by such Forward Purchaser to the Company for such Confirmation Shares is equal to the aggregate amount of net proceeds received by such Forward Purchaser from the sale of such Shares through such Agent), (y) in the case of the Agents, the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Agents from the offering of the Shares and (z) in the case of the Forward Purchasers, the aggregate Spread (as defined in the Confirmations) retained by the Forward Purchasers under the Confirmations, net of any costs associated therewith, as reasonably determined by the Forward Purchasers, bear to an amount equal to the sum of the amounts set forth in (x), (y) and (z) above. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Agents or Forward Purchasers on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Agents and Forward Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Agents and the Forward Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total commissions or underwriting discounts received by such Agent in connection with Shares placed or underwritten by it for sale to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Agent and Forward Purchasers in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective obligations and not joint.
(e)Directors, Officers, Employees and Agents. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director, officer, employee and agent of any Agent or Forward Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls any Agent or Forward Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the Agents and Forward Purchasers under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Agents and Forward Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director and employee of the Company, and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.
Section 7. [Reserved.]
Section 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of an Agent, a Forward Purchaser or their respective affiliates, selling agents, officers or directors or any person controlling such Agent or Forward Purchaser, or the Company or its officers or directors, or any person controlling the Company and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Shares.
Section 9. Termination.
(a)This ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement may be terminated for any reason, at any time, by either the Company, an Agent or Forward Purchaser, as to itself, upon giving prior written notice to the other parties hereto.
(b)The applicable Agents may terminate a Terms Agreement to which they are a party, at any time at or prior to the Settlement Date, (i) if, since the time of execution of such Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, (a) the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, have sustained, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, or (b) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there has been any material change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the general affairs, management or consolidated financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described in this clause (i)(a) or (i)(b), is in the judgment of the applicable Agents so material and adverse to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Shares subject to such Terms Agreement, or (ii) if a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the NYSE or the Nasdaq Global Market occurs, or (iii) if a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company’s securities on the NYSE occurs, or (iv) if a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either Federal or New York or California State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlements or clearance services in the United States occurs, or (v) if the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions occurs, if the effect of any such event specified in this clause (v) in the judgement of such applicable Agents (A) is material and adverse and (B) makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Shares subject to such Terms Agreement.
(c)If the Company and two or more Agents enter into a Terms Agreement pursuant to which such Agents agree to purchase Shares from the Company as principal and one or more of such Agents shall fail at the Settlement Date to purchase the Shares which it or they are obligated to purchase (the “Defaulted Shares”), then the nondefaulting Agents shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one of them or one or more other Agents or underwriters to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Shares in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms set forth herein and in the applicable Terms Agreement; provided, however, that if such arrangements shall not have been completed within such 24-hour period, then:
(i)if the number of Defaulted Shares does not exceed 10% of the number of Shares to be so purchased by all of such Agents on the Settlement Date, the nondefaulting Agents shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective initial purchase obligation bears to the purchase obligations of all nondefaulting Agents; or
(ii)if the number of Defaulted Shares exceeds 10% of the number of Shares to be so purchased by all of such Agents on the Settlement Date, such Terms Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Agent.
No action taken pursuant to this Section 9(c) shall relieve any defaulting Agent from liability in respect of its default. In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of such Terms Agreement, either the nondefaulting Agents or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Settlement Date for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.
(d) In the event of any termination under this Section 9, no party will have any liability to the other parties hereto, except that (i) the Agents shall be entitled to any commissions earned in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, (ii) if at the time of termination (a) an Agent shall own any Shares purchased by it as principal or (b) an offer to purchase any Shares has been accepted by the Company but the Settlement Date has not occurred, the covenants set forth in Section 3 hereof shall remain in effect until such Shares are resold or so delivered, as the case may be, and (iii) the covenant set forth in Section 3(h) hereof, the provisions of Section 4 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, and the provisions of Sections 8, 13, 14, 15 and 16 hereof shall remain in effect.

Section 12. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.
(a)In the event that any Agent or Forward Purchaser that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Agent or Forward Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the
transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b)In the event that any Agent or Forward Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Agent or Forward Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Agent or Forward Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States

TERMS AGREEMENT
[●]
[●]
[●]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Sempra, a California corporation (the “Company”), proposes, on the basis of the representations and warranties, and subject to the terms and conditions, stated herein and in the ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement, dated November [●], 2024 (the “Sales Agreement”), between the Company and Barclays Capital Inc., BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as sales agents, principals and/or, forward sellers (in any such capacity, each an “Agent”, and collectively, the “Agents”) and Barclays Bank PLC, Bank of America, N.A., Citibank, N.A., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Mizuho Markets Americas LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, MUFG Securities EMEA plc, Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association each as forward purchaser (in such capacity, each a “Forward Purchaser” and, collectively, the “Forward Purchasers”) to issue and sell to [●], [●], [●] and [●] as principal for resale (collectively, the “Underwriters”), and the Underwriters severally agree to purchase from the Company, the shares of Common Stock specified in the Schedule A hereto (the “[Initial] Securities”) [, and to grant to the Underwriters the option to purchase the additional shares of Common Stock specified in Schedule A hereto (the “Option Securities”, and together with the Initial Securities, the “Securities”)]*,[in each case]* on the terms specified herein, including Schedule A hereto, and in the Sales Agreement. Capitalized terms used but and not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Sales Agreement.
[The Company grants an option to the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, to purchase up to an additional [●] Option Securities at the price per share set forth in Schedule A hereto, less an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the Initial Securities but not payable on the Option Securities. The option hereby granted may be exercised for 30 days after the date hereof and may be exercised in whole or in part at any time from time to time upon notice by the Underwriters to the Company setting forth the number of Option Securities as to which the several Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Securities. Any such time and date of delivery (a “Date of Delivery”) shall be determined by the Underwriters, but shall not be later than seven full business days after the exercise of said option, nor in any event prior to the Settlement Date (as defined below). [If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Securities, each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total number of Option Securities then being purchased which the number of Initial Securities set forth in Schedule A hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Initial Securities, subject, in each case, to such adjustments as [●] in its sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that the officers’ certificate, opinions and letter of counsel and accountants’ letter referred to in Section 3(o), (p) and (q), respectively, of the Sales Agreement are required to be delivered by or on behalf of the Company on the Settlement Date.]*
Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates for, the Initial Securities shall be made at the offices of Sidley Austin LLP, New York, New York, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the
Underwriters and the Company, at 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the first (or second, if the pricing occurs after 4:30 P.M. (New York City time) on any given day) business day after the date hereof (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 9(c) of the Sales Agreement), or such other time not later than ten business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriters and the Company (such time and date of payment and delivery being herein called “Settlement Date”).
In addition, in the event that any or all of the Option Securities are purchased by the Underwriters, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates for, such Option Securities shall be made at the above-mentioned offices, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Underwriters and the Company, on each Date of Delivery as specified in the notice from the Underwriters to the Company.
Payment shall be made to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company against delivery to the Underwriters for their respective accounts of the Securities to be purchased by them. It is understood that each Underwriter has authorized [●] as representative of the Underwriters, for its account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Initial Securities and the Option Securities, if any, which it has agreed to purchase. [●], individually and not as representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Initial Securities or the Option Securities, if any, to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the Settlement Date or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.
Each of the provisions of the Sales Agreement not related solely to the Agent as sales agent of the Company or to the sale and issuance of Shares pursuant to forward sale agreements is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be part of this Terms Agreement to the same extent as if each such provision had been set forth in full herein. Each of the representations and warranties set forth in the Sales Agreement shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Terms Agreement, the Applicable Time and any Date of Delivery.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Company a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement between the Underwriters and the Company in accordance with its terms.
THIS TERMS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS TERMS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

The purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the terms and conditions of the Transaction entered into between [DEALER NAME] (“Dealer”) and Sempra (“Counterparty”) on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This letter agreement, as supplemented by the pricing supplement delivered hereunder, constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement specified below.
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”) and the 2006 ISDA Definitions (including the Annex thereto) (the “2006 Definitions” and together with the Equity Definitions, the “Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”), are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Equity Definitions and the 2006 Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern. In the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern.
Each party is hereby advised, and each such party acknowledges, that the other party has engaged in, or refrained from engaging in, substantial financial transactions and has taken other material actions in reliance upon the parties’ entry into the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates on the terms and conditions set forth below.
1. This Confirmation and the pricing supplement delivered hereunder evidence a complete and binding agreement between Dealer and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation, together with any other Confirmations for registered forward transactions entered into between Dealer and Counterparty (each, an “Additional Confirmation”), shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if Dealer and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (without any Schedule but (i) with the elections set forth in this Confirmation and (ii) with the election that the “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement will apply to Dealer as if (a) the phrase “, or becoming capable at such time of being declared,” were deleted from Section 5(a)(vi)(1) of the Agreement; (b) the “Threshold Amount” with respect to Dealer were three percent of the [shareholders’][members’] equity of [Dealer][Dealer Parent (“Dealer Parent”)]; (c) the following language were added to the end of Section 5(a)(vi) of the Agreement: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under subsection (2) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default if (x) the default was caused solely by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature; (y) funds were available to enable the party to make the payment when due; and (z) the payment is made within two Local Business Days of such party’s receipt of written notice of its failure to pay.”; and (d) the term “Specified Indebtedness” had the meaning specified in Section 14 of the Agreement, except that such term shall not include obligations in respect of deposits received in the ordinary course of a party’s banking business). In the event of any inconsistency between provisions of the Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. The parties
hereby agree that, other than the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates and the Transactions to which the Additional Confirmations, if any, relate (each, an “Additional Transaction”), no Transaction shall be governed by the Agreement. For purposes of the Equity Definitions, the Transaction is a Share Forward Transaction.

| | | | | |
Settlement Notice Requirements: | Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, a Settlement Notice delivered by Counterparty that specifies Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement will not be effective to establish a Settlement Date or require Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement unless Counterparty delivers to Dealer with such Settlement Notice a representation, dated as of the date of such Settlement Notice and signed by Counterparty, containing (x) the provisions set forth in clause (i) under the heading “Additional Representations and Agreements of Counterparty” in Paragraph 7(d) and (y) a representation from Counterparty that neither Counterparty nor any of its subsidiaries has applied, and shall not until after the first date on which no portion of the Transaction remains outstanding following any final exercise and settlement, cancellation or early termination of the Transaction, apply, for a loan, loan guarantee, direct loan (as that term is defined in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”)) or other investment, or receive any financial assistance or relief under any program or facility (collectively “Financial Assistance”) that (I) is established under applicable law (whether in existence as of the Trade Date or subsequently enacted, adopted or amended), including without limitation the CARES Act and the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, and (II) (X) requires under applicable law (or any regulation, guidance, interpretation or other pronouncement of a governmental authority with jurisdiction for such program or facility) as a condition of such Financial Assistance, that Counterparty comply with any requirement not to, or otherwise agree, attest, certify or warrant that it has not, as of the date specified in such condition, repurchased, or will not repurchase, any equity security of Counterparty, and that it has not, as of the date specified in the condition, made a capital distribution or will not make a capital distribution, or (Y) where the terms of the Transaction would cause Counterparty under any circumstances to fail to satisfy any condition for application for or receipt or retention of the Financial Assistance (collectively “Restricted Financial Assistance”), other than any such applications for Restricted Financial Assistance that were (or would be) made (x) based on the advice of outside counsel of national standing that the terms of the Transaction would not cause Counterparty to fail to satisfy any condition for application for or receipt or retention of such Financial Assistance based on the terms of the program or facility as of the date of such advice or (y) after delivery to Dealer of evidence or other guidance from a governmental authority with jurisdiction for such program or facility that the Transaction is permitted under such program or facility (either by specific reference to the Transaction or by general reference to transactions with the attributes of the Transaction in all relevant respects). |
| | | | | |
Physical Settlement: | If Physical Settlement is applicable, then Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer through the Clearance System a number of Shares equal to the Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date, and Dealer shall pay to Counterparty, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Counterparty, an amount equal to the Physical Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date. |
Physical Settlement Amount: | For any Settlement Date for which Physical Settlement is applicable, an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the Forward Price in effect on the relevant Settlement Date multiplied by (b) the Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date. |
Cash Settlement: | On any Settlement Date in respect of which Cash Settlement applies, if the Cash Settlement Amount is a positive number, Dealer will pay the Cash Settlement Amount to Counterparty. If the Cash Settlement Amount is a negative number, Counterparty will pay the absolute value of the Cash Settlement Amount to Dealer. Such amounts shall be paid on such Settlement Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds. |
Cash Settlement Amount: | An amount determined by the Calculation Agent equal to: (a) (i)(A) the weighted average (weighted on the same basis as clause (B)) of the Forward Prices on each day during the period that begins one Settlement Cycle following the first day of the applicable Unwind Period and ends on the applicable Settlement Date (calculated assuming no reduction to the Forward Price for any Forward Price Reduction Date that occurs during such Unwind Period, which is accounted for in clause (b) below), minus (B) the Unwind Purchase Price, multiplied by (ii) the Settlement Shares for the relevant Settlement Date; minus (b) the product of (i) the Forward Price Reduction Amount for any Forward Price Reduction Date that occurs during such Unwind Period, and (ii) the number of Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date with respect to which Dealer has not unwound its hedge, including the settlement of such unwinds, as of such Forward Price Reduction Date. |
Unwind Purchase Price: | The weighted average price at which Dealer purchases Shares during the Unwind Period to unwind its hedge with respect to the portion of the Number of Shares to be settled during the Unwind Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, purchases on any Disrupted Day in part), taking into account Shares anticipated to be delivered or received if Net Share Settlement applies, and the restrictions of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act agreed to hereunder, plus USD 0.02 per Share. |
| | | | | |
Net Share Settlement: | On any Settlement Date in respect of which Net Share Settlement applies, if the Cash Settlement Amount is a (i) positive number, Dealer shall deliver a number of Shares to Counterparty equal to the Net Share Settlement Shares, or (ii) negative number, Counterparty shall deliver a number of Shares to Dealer equal to the Net Share Settlement Shares; provided that, if Dealer determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that it would be required to deliver Net Share Settlement Shares to Counterparty, Dealer may elect to deliver a portion of such Net Share Settlement Shares on one or more dates prior to the applicable Settlement Date. |
Net Share Settlement Shares: | With respect to a Settlement Date in respect of which Net Share Settlement applies, the number of Shares equal to the absolute value of the Cash Settlement Amount divided by the Unwind Purchase Price, with the number of Shares rounded up in the event such calculation results in a fractional number. |
Unwind Period: | The period from and including the first Exchange Business Day following the date Counterparty validly elects Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement in respect of a Settlement Date through the Scheduled Trading Day preceding such Settlement Date, subject to “Termination Settlement” as described in Paragraph 7(f) below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in any Settlement Notice specifying Net Share Settlement or Cash Settlement to be applicable with respect to any Settlement Shares, Counterparty may, at its election, specify an Unwind Period Outside Date and, if so, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Unwind Period relating to such Settlement Shares will not occur on any date later than such Unwind Period Outside Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth in clause (ii) of the proviso opposite the caption “Settlement Method Election” above will apply to any such Unwind Period that ends on the Unwind Period Outside Date, as applicable). “Unwind Period Outside Date” means, if specified at Counterparty’s election in any Settlement Notice, the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the last calendar day of the calendar quarter in which the related Settlement Date is scheduled to occur. |

The Calculation Agent shall notify Counterparty prior to making any such adjustment to the Forward Price. |
| |

affiliate of Dealer) in connection with the Transaction may be used by Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer) to return to securities lenders without further registration or other restrictions under the Securities Act, in the hands of those securities lenders, irrespective of whether such securities loan is effected by Dealer or an affiliate of Dealer. Accordingly, subject to Paragraph 7(g) below, Counterparty agrees that the Shares that it delivers, pledges or loans to Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer) on or prior to the final Settlement Date will not bear a restrictive legend and that such Shares will be deposited in, and the delivery thereof shall be effected through the facilities of, the Clearance System.

(iv) Unless the provisions set forth below under “Private Placement Procedures” are applicable, Dealer agrees to use any Shares delivered by Counterparty hereunder on any Settlement Date to return to securities lenders to close out open securities loans created by Dealer or an affiliate of Dealer in the course of Dealer’s or such affiliate’s hedging activities related to Dealer’s exposure under the Transaction.
(v) In connection with bids and purchases of Shares in connection with any Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement of the Transaction, Dealer shall use its reasonable efforts, based on the advice of counsel, to conduct its activities, or cause its affiliates to conduct their activities, as applicable, in a manner consistent with the requirements of the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, as if such provisions were applicable to such purchases and taking into account any applicable Securities and Exchange Commission no-action letters, as appropriate, and subject to any delays between the execution and reporting of a trade of the Shares on the Exchange and other circumstances beyond Dealer’s control.
(d) Additional Representations and Agreements of Counterparty. Counterparty represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

Approval”) and (B) Counterparty shall deliver to Dealer written notice (the “Approval Notice”) that Pricing Approval has been obtained, which notice shall include a copy of the duly adopted resolutions constituting Pricing Approval attached thereto.

(iv) During any Unwind Period, Counterparty shall (A) notify Dealer prior to the opening of trading in the Shares on any day on which Counterparty makes, or use reasonable efforts to notify Dealer by such time if Counterparty expects to be made, any public announcement (as defined in Rule 165(f) under the Securities Act) of any merger, acquisition, or similar transaction involving a recapitalization relating to Counterparty (other than any such transaction in which the consideration consists solely of cash and there is no valuation period), (B) promptly notify Dealer following any such announcement that such announcement has been made, and (C) promptly deliver to Dealer following the making of any such announcement information indicating (x) Counterparty’s average daily Rule 10b-18 purchases (as defined in Rule 10b-18) during the three full calendar months preceding the date of the announcement of such transaction and (y) Counterparty’s block purchases (as defined in Rule 10b-18) effected pursuant to paragraph (b)(4) of Rule 10b-18 during the three full calendar months preceding the date of the announcement of such transaction.

(vi) Counterparty will not engage in any “distribution” (as defined in Regulation M), other than a distribution meeting the requirements of an exception set forth in each of Rules 101(b) and 102(b) of Regulation M, that would cause a “restricted period” (as defined in Regulation M) to occur during any Unwind Period.

(xi) To Counterparty’s actual knowledge, no federal, state or local (including non-U.S. jurisdictions) law, rule, regulation or regulatory order applicable to the Shares would give rise to any reporting, consent, registration or other requirement (including without limitation a requirement to obtain prior approval from any person or entity) as a result of Dealer or its affiliates owning or holding (however defined) Shares, other than Sections 13 and 16 under the Exchange Act and the Federal Power Act; provided that Counterparty makes no representation or warranty regarding any such requirement that is applicable generally to the ownership of equity securities by Dealer or its affiliates solely as a result of their being a financial institution or broker dealer.
(xii) No filing with, or approval, authorization, consent, license, registration, qualification, order or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, domestic or foreign, is necessary or required for the execution, delivery and performance by Counterparty of this Confirmation and the consummation of the Transaction (including, without limitation, the issuance and delivery of Shares on any Settlement Date) except (A) such as have been obtained under the Securities Act and (B) as may be required to be obtained under state securities laws.
(xiii) Counterparty (A) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business affairs as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of entering into the Transaction, (B) has consulted with its own legal, financial, accounting and tax advisors in connection with the Transaction, and (C) is entering into the Transaction for a bona fide business purpose.

(xv) Counterparty (i) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, (ii) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing, and (iii) has total assets of at least USD 50 million as of the date hereof.
(e) Acceleration Events. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Acceleration Event”:
(i) Stock Borrow Event. In the commercially reasonable judgment of Dealer (A) Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer) is not able to hedge in a commercially reasonable manner its exposure under the Transaction because insufficient Shares are made available for borrowing by securities lenders or (B) Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer) would incur a cost (excluding any balance sheet charges or funding costs incurred by such party) to borrow (or to maintain a borrow of) Shares to hedge in a commercially reasonable manner its exposure under the Transaction that is greater than a rate equal to [*] basis points per annum (each, a “Stock Borrow Event”);
(ii) Dividends and Other Distributions. On any day occurring after the Trade Date, Counterparty declares a distribution, issue or dividend to existing holders of the Shares of (A) any cash
dividend (other than an Extraordinary Dividend) for which such cash dividend (x) has an ex-dividend date that occurs before a Forward Price Reduction Date, or (y) for which the amount exceeds, on a per Share basis, the Forward Price Reduction Amount set forth opposite the first date of any such period on Schedule I, (B) any Extraordinary Dividend, (C) any share capital or other securities of another issuer acquired or owned (directly or indirectly) by Counterparty as a result of a spin-off or other similar transaction or (D) any other type of securities (other than Shares), rights or warrants or other assets, in any case for payment (cash or other consideration) at less than the prevailing market price, as determined in a commercially reasonable manner by Dealer; “Extraordinary Dividend” means any dividend or distribution (that is not an ordinary cash dividend) declared by Counterparty with respect to the Shares that, in the commercially reasonable determination of Dealer, is (1) a dividend or distribution declared on the Shares at a time at which Counterparty has not previously declared or paid dividends or distributions on such Shares for the prior four quarterly periods, (2) a payment or distribution by Counterparty to holders of Shares that Counterparty announces will be an “extraordinary” or “special” dividend or distribution or (3) any other “special” dividend or distribution on the Shares that is, by its terms or declared intent, outside the normal course of operations or normal dividend policies or practices of Counterparty;
(iii) ISDA Termination. Either Dealer or Counterparty has the right to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement, in which case, except as otherwise specified herein and except as a result of an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) of the Agreement, the provisions of Paragraph 7(f) below shall apply in lieu of the consequences specified in Section 6 of the Agreement; failure of Counterparty to deliver the Approval Notice by the third Exchange Business Day following the Hedge Completion Date (the “Approval Deadline Date”) shall constitute an Additional Termination Event (such event, an “Approval Deadline Event”), with (A) Counterparty the sole Affected Party, (B) an Early Termination Date deemed to have been designated by Dealer as of the Approval Deadline Date, and (C) the consequences specified in Section 6 of the Agreement, rather than the provisions of Paragraph 7(f) below, applying, except that Dealer may designate a date for payment of the Early Termination Amount that permits Dealer to effect a commercially reasonable unwind of any hedge position that Dealer may have in the Shares, taking into account relevant legal and regulatory considerations, and such payment date shall be notified by Dealer to Counterparty no later than one Scheduled Trading Day prior to such payment date; for the avoidance of doubt, no Additional Termination Event, Early Termination Date, or date for payment of an Early Termination Amount, in each case, in respect of an Approval Deadline Event, will occur prior to the Approval Deadline Date;
(iv) Other ISDA Events. An Announcement Date occurs in respect of any Merger Event, Tender Offer, Nationalization, Insolvency, Delisting or the occurrence of any Hedging Disruption or Change in Law; provided that, in case of a Delisting, in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); provided, further, that (i) the definition of “Change in Law” provided in Section 12.9(a)(ii) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (A) replacing the phrase “the interpretation” in the third line thereof with the phrase “or announcement or statement of the formal or informal interpretation” and (B) immediately following the word “Transaction” in clause (X) thereof, adding the phrase “in the manner contemplated by Dealer on the Trade Date” and (ii) any determination as to whether (A) the adoption of or any change in any applicable law or regulation (including, without limitation, any tax law) or (B) the promulgation of or any change in or announcement or statement of the formal or informal interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law or regulation (including any action taken by a taxing authority), in each case, constitutes a “Change in Law” shall be made without regard to Section 739 of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 (the “WSTAA”) or any similar provision in any legislation enacted on or after the Trade Date; or
(v) Ownership Event. In the reasonable judgment of Dealer, on any day, the Share Amount for such day exceeds the Post-Effective Limit for such day (if any applies) (each, an “Ownership Event”). For purposes of this clause (v), the “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Dealer and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Dealer (Dealer or any such person, a “Dealer Person”) under any law, rule, regulation or regulatory order or Counterparty constituent document that for any reason is, or after the Trade Date becomes, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Provisions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership of under the Applicable Provisions, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion. The “Post-Effective Limit” means (x) the minimum number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations (except for any filing requirements on Form 13F, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act, in each case, as in effect on the Trade Date) or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Dealer Person, or would result in an adverse effect on a Dealer Person, under the Applicable Provisions, as determined by Dealer in its reasonable discretion, minus (y) 1.0% of the number of Shares outstanding.
(f) Termination Settlement. Upon the occurrence of any Acceleration Event, Dealer shall have the right to designate, upon at least one Scheduled Trading Day’s notice, any Scheduled Trading Day following such occurrence to be a Settlement Date hereunder (a “Termination Settlement Date”) to which Physical Settlement shall apply after Pricing Approval has been obtained and Cash Settlement (excluding the application of the proviso in “Settlement Method Election” above) shall apply before such time, and to select the number of Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date; provided that (i) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of an Ownership Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Dealer shall not exceed the number of Shares necessary to reduce the Share Amount to reasonably below the Post-Effective Limit and (ii) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of a Stock Borrow Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Dealer shall not exceed the number of Shares as to which such Stock Borrow Event exists. If, upon designation of a Termination Settlement Date by Dealer pursuant to the preceding sentence, Counterparty fails to deliver the Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations within its control in respect of the Transaction, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply (without regard to Paragraph 7(e)(iii) above). If an Acceleration Event occurs during an Unwind Period relating to a number of Settlement Shares to which Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies, then on the Termination Settlement Date relating to such Acceleration Event, notwithstanding any election to the contrary by Counterparty, Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement shall apply to the portion of the Settlement Shares relating to such Unwind Period as to which Dealer has unwound its hedge, and Physical Settlement shall apply in respect of (x) the remainder (if any) of such Settlement Shares and (y) the Settlement Shares designated by Dealer in respect of such Termination Settlement Date. If an Acceleration Event occurs after Counterparty has designated a Settlement Date to which Physical Settlement applies but before the relevant Settlement Shares have been delivered to Dealer, then Dealer shall have the right to cancel such Settlement Date and designate a Termination Settlement Date in respect of such Shares pursuant to the first sentence hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Nationalization or Merger Event, if at the time of the related relevant Settlement Date the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property, the Calculation Agent shall adjust the nature of the Shares as it determines appropriate to account for such change such that the nature of the Shares is consistent with what shareholders receive in such event.
(g) Private Placement Procedures. If Counterparty is unable to comply with the provisions of sub-paragraph (ii) of “Agreements and Acknowledgments Regarding Shares” above because of a change in law or a change in the policy of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff, or Dealer otherwise determines that in its reasonable opinion any Shares to be delivered to Dealer by Counterparty may not be freely returned by Dealer or its affiliates to securities lenders as described under such sub-paragraph (ii) or otherwise constitute “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then delivery of any such Shares (the “Restricted Shares”) shall be effected as provided below, unless waived by Dealer.
(i) If Counterparty delivers the Restricted Shares pursuant to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Counterparty shall be effected in accordance with private placement procedures customary for private placements of equity securities of substantially similar size with respect to such Restricted Shares reasonably acceptable to Dealer; provided that Counterparty may not elect a Private Placement Settlement if, on the date of its election, it has taken, or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the sale by Counterparty to Dealer (or any affiliate designated by Dealer) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate of Dealer), and if Counterparty fails to deliver the Restricted Shares when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations within its control in respect of a Private Placement Settlement, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply (without regard to Paragraph 7(e)(iii) above). The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Dealer, due diligence rights (for Dealer or any designated buyer of the Restricted Shares by Dealer), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement agreements of equity securities of a substantially similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Dealer. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Dealer shall, in its good faith discretion, adjust the amount of Restricted Shares to be delivered to Dealer hereunder in a commercially reasonable manner to reflect the fact that such Restricted Shares may not be freely returned to securities lenders by Dealer and may only be saleable by Dealer at a discount to reflect the lack of liquidity in Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Clearance System Business Day following notice by Dealer to Counterparty of the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the date that would otherwise be applicable.
(ii) If Counterparty delivers any Restricted Shares in respect of the Transaction, Counterparty agrees that (A) such Shares may be transferred by and among Dealer and its affiliates and (B) after the minimum “holding period” within the meaning of Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act has elapsed, Counterparty shall promptly remove, or cause the transfer agent for the Shares to remove, any legends referring to any transfer restrictions from such Shares upon delivery by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer) to Counterparty or such transfer agent of any seller’s and broker’s representation letters customarily delivered by Dealer or its affiliates in connection with resales of restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, each without any further requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel, notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Dealer (or such affiliate of Dealer).
(h) Rule 10b-5. It is the intent of Dealer and Counterparty that, following any election of Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement by Counterparty, the purchase of Shares by Dealer during any Unwind Period shall comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-l(c)(l)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act and that this Confirmation shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-l(c). Counterparty acknowledges that (i) during any Unwind Period Counterparty shall not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether to effect purchases of Shares by Dealer (or its agent or affiliate) in connection with this Confirmation and (ii) Counterparty is entering into the Agreement and this Confirmation in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with federal securities laws including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Counterparty further agrees to act in good faith with respect to this Confirmation and the Agreement.
(i) Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH OF COUNTERPARTY AND DEALER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES (ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS STOCKHOLDERS) ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM
(WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TRANSACTION OR THE ACTIONS OF DEALER OR ITS AFFILIATES IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
(j)Governing Law/Jurisdiction. This Confirmation and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Confirmation shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. The parties hereto irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with all matters relating hereto and waive any objection to the laying of venue in, and any claim of inconvenient forum with respect to, these courts.
(k)Insolvency Filing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Agreement or in the Definitions, upon any Insolvency Filing or other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of Counterparty, the Transaction shall automatically terminate on the date thereof without further liability of either party to this Confirmation to the other party (except for any liability in respect of any breach of representation or covenant by a party under this Confirmation prior to the date of such Insolvency Filing or other proceeding), it being understood that the Transaction is a contract for the issuance of Shares by Counterparty.
(l)Disclosure. Effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, each of Dealer and Counterparty and each of their employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.
(m)Counterparty Share Repurchases. Counterparty agrees not to repurchase, directly or indirectly, any Shares if, immediately following such purchase, the Outstanding Share Percentage would be equal to or greater than 5%. The “Outstanding Share Percentage” as of any day is the fraction (1) the numerator of which is the aggregate of the Number of Shares for the Transaction and the “Number of Shares” under each Additional Equity Derivative Transaction that is a share forward transaction and (2) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.
(n)Limit on Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Dealer shall not have the right to acquire Shares hereunder and Dealer shall not be entitled to take delivery of any Shares hereunder (in each case, whether in connection with the purchase of Shares on any Settlement Date or any Termination Settlement Date, any Private Placement Settlement or otherwise) to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such receipt of any Shares hereunder, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the Post-Effective Limit, (ii) Dealer and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (the “Dealer Group”) would directly or indirectly beneficially own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 8% of the then outstanding Shares (the “Threshold Number of Shares”), (iii) Dealer would hold 5% or more of the number of Shares of Counterparty’s outstanding common stock or 5% or more of Counterparty’s outstanding voting power (the “Exchange Limit”) or (iv) Dealer (including any person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer) would beneficially own, constructively own, control, hold the power to vote or otherwise meet a relevant definition of ownership under the Federal Power Act in excess of a number of Shares equal to 8% of the outstanding Shares (the “FPA Limit”). Any purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the Post-Effective Limit, (ii) the Dealer Group would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares, (iii) Dealer would directly or indirectly so hold in excess of the Exchange Limit or (iv) Dealer (including any person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer) would beneficially own, constructively own, control, hold the power to vote or otherwise meet a relevant definition of ownership under the Federal Power Act in excess of the FPA Limit. If any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Counterparty’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and Counterparty shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Scheduled Trading Day after, Dealer gives notice to Counterparty that, after such delivery, (i) the Share Amount would not exceed the Post-Effective Limit, (ii) the Dealer Group would not directly or indirectly so beneficially own
in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares, (iii) Dealer would not directly or indirectly so hold in excess of the Exchange Limit and (iv) Dealer (including any person subject to aggregation of Shares with Dealer) would not beneficially own, constructively own, control, hold the power to vote or otherwise meet a relevant definition of ownership under the Federal Power Act in excess of the FPA Limit.
In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any delivery owed to Dealer hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the immediately preceding paragraph, Dealer shall be permitted to make any payment due in respect of such Shares to Counterparty in two or more tranches that correspond in amount to the number of Shares delivered by Counterparty to Dealer pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph.
(o)Commodity Exchange Act. Each of Dealer and Counterparty agrees and represents that it is an “eligible contract participant” as defined in Section 1a(18) of the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “CEA”), the Agreement and the Transaction are subject to individual negotiation by the parties and have not been executed or traded on a “trading facility” as defined in Section 1a(51) of the CEA.
(p)Bankruptcy Status. Subject to Paragraph 7(k) above, Dealer acknowledges and agrees that this Confirmation is not intended to convey to Dealer rights with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby that are senior to the claims of Counterparty’s common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Counterparty; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Counterparty of its obligations and agreements with respect to this Confirmation and the Agreement; and provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Dealer’s rights in respect of any transaction other than the Transaction.
(q)No Collateral or Setoff. Notwithstanding Section 6(f) or any other provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Counterparty hereunder are not secured by any collateral. Obligations in respect of the Transaction shall not be set off against any other obligations of the parties, whether arising under the Agreement, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and no other obligations of the parties shall be set off against obligations in respect of the Transaction, whether arising under the Agreement, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives any such right of setoff.
(r)Share Cap. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or this Confirmation, in no event will Counterparty be required to deliver, in the aggregate in respect of all Settlement Dates or other dates on which Shares are delivered under the Transaction a number of Shares greater than 1.5 times the Number of Shares (the “Share Cap”). The Share Cap shall be subject to adjustment only on account of (x) Potential Adjustment Events of the type specified in (1) Sections 11.2(e)(i) through (vi) of the Equity Definitions or (2) Section 11.2(e)(vii) of the Equity Definitions so long as, in the case of this sub-clause (2), such event is within Counterparty’s control and (y) Merger Events requiring corporate action of Counterparty (or any surviving entity of Counterparty hereunder in connection with any such Merger Event). In the event Counterparty shall not have delivered the full number of Shares otherwise deliverable as a result of this Paragraph 7(r) (the resulting deficit for the Transaction, the “Deficit Shares”), Counterparty shall be continually obligated to deliver Shares, from time to time until the full number of Deficit Shares have been delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 7(r), on a pro rata basis between the Transaction and the Other Forward (as defined below), when, and to the extent that, (A) Shares are repurchased, acquired or otherwise received by Counterparty or any of its subsidiaries after the date hereof (whether or not in exchange for cash, fair value or any other consideration), (B) authorized and unissued Shares reserved for issuance in respect of other transactions prior to such date which prior to the relevant date become no longer so reserved or (C) Counterparty additionally authorizes any unissued Shares that are not reserved for transactions other than the Transaction (such events as set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, collectively, the “Share Issuance Events”). Counterparty shall promptly notify Dealer of the occurrence of any of the Share Issuance Events (including the number of Shares subject to clause (A), (B) or (C) and the corresponding number of Shares to be delivered for the Transaction) and, as promptly as reasonably practicable, deliver such Shares thereafter. Counterparty shall not, until Counterparty’s obligations under the Transaction have been satisfied in full, use any Shares that become available for potential delivery to Dealer as a result of any Share Issuance Event
for the settlement or satisfaction of any transaction or obligation other than the Transaction (or the Other Forward on a pro rata basis as set forth above) or reserve any such Shares for future issuance for any purpose other than to satisfy Counterparty’s obligations to Dealer under the Transaction (or the Other Forward on a pro rata basis as set forth above).
(s)Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010. The parties hereby agree that none of (i) Section 739 of the WSTAA, (ii) any similar legal certainty provision included in any legislation enacted, or rule or regulation promulgated, on or after the Trade Date, (iii) the enactment of the WSTAA or any regulation under the WSTAA, (iv) any requirement under the WSTAA or (v) any amendment made by the WSTAA shall limit or otherwise impair either party’s right to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement this Confirmation or the Agreement, as applicable, arising from a termination event, force majeure, illegality, increased cost, regulatory change or similar event under this Confirmation, the Definitions or the Agreement (including, but not limited to, any right arising from any Acceleration Event).
(t)Other Forward. Dealer acknowledges that Counterparty has entered or may in the future enter into one or more substantially similar forward transactions for the Shares (each, an “Other Forward” and collectively, the “Other Forwards”) with one or more other dealers. Dealer and Counterparty agree that if Counterparty designates a “Settlement Date” with respect to one or more Other Forwards for which “Cash Settlement” or “Net Share Settlement” is applicable and for which the resulting “Unwind Period” for any such Other Forwards coincides for any period of time with an Unwind Period for the Transaction (the “Overlap Unwind Period”), Counterparty shall notify Dealer at least one Scheduled Trading Day prior to the commencement of such Overlap Unwind Period of the first Scheduled Trading Day and the length of such Overlap Unwind Period, and Dealer shall be permitted to purchase Shares to unwind its hedge in respect of the Transaction only on alternating Scheduled Trading Days during such Overlap Unwind Period, commencing on the first, second, third or later Scheduled Trading Day of such Overlap Unwind Period (which alternating Scheduled Trading Days, for the avoidance of doubt, may be every other Scheduled Trading Day if there is only one other dealer, every third Scheduled Trading Day if there are two other dealers, etc.).
(u)Indemnity. Counterparty agrees to indemnify Dealer and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (Dealer and each such affiliate or person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint and several, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party arising out of, in connection with, or relating to, any breach of any covenant or representation made by Counterparty in this Confirmation or the Agreement and will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto, except to the extent determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Dealer’s gross negligence, fraud, bad faith and/or willful misconduct. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any such claim, action or proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Counterparty hereunder, notify Counterparty in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify Counterparty shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability otherwise. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify Counterparty of the commencement thereof, Counterparty shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to Counterparty), and, after notice from Counterparty to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, Counterparty shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Paragraph 7(u) for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Counterparty shall not have liability for any settlement or compromise of, or the consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any claim, action or proceeding contemplated by this Paragraph 7(u) that is effected without its prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination or completion of the Transaction.

For the purpose of Section 3(e) of the Agreement, each of Dealer and Counterparty makes the following representation: It is not required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, of any Relevant Jurisdiction to make any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax from any payment (other than interest under Section 9(h) of the Agreement or amounts payable hereunder that may be considered to be interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to be made by it to the other party under the Agreement. In making this representation, it may rely on (A) the accuracy of any representations made by the other party pursuant to Section 3(f) of the Agreement, (B) the satisfaction of the agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i) or Section 4(a)(iii) of the Agreement and the accuracy and effectiveness of any document provided by the other party pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) or Section 4(a)(iii) of the Agreement and (C) the satisfaction of the agreement of the other party contained in Section 4(d) of the Agreement, except that it will not be a breach of this representation where reliance is placed on clause (B) above and the other party does not deliver a form or document under Section 4(a)(iii) of the Agreement by reason of material prejudice to its legal or commercial position.

a. It is a “U.S. person” (as that term is used in section 1.1441-4(a)(3)(ii) of U.S. Treasury Regulations) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
b. It is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is an exempt recipient under section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii)(J) of U.S. Treasury Regulations.
(iii) Withholding Tax imposed on payments to non-U.S. counterparties under the United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. “Tax”, and “Indemnifiable Tax”, each as defined in Section 14 of the Agreement, shall not include any FATCA Withholding Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, a FATCA Withholding Tax is a Tax the deduction or withholding of which is required by applicable law for the purposes of Section 2(d) of the Agreement.
“Code” means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
“FATCA Withholding Tax” means any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed or collected pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code.
(iv) HIRE ACT. To the extent that either party to the Agreement with respect to the Transaction is not an adhering party to the ISDA 2015 Section 871(m) Protocol published by ISDA on November 2, 2015 and available at www.isda.org, as may be amended, supplemented, replaced or superseded from time to time (the “871(m) Protocol”), the parties agree that the provisions and amendments contained in the Attachment to the 871(m) Protocol are incorporated into and apply to the Agreement with respect to the Transaction as if set forth in full herein. The parties further agree that, solely for purposes of applying such provisions and amendments to the Agreement with respect to the Transaction, references to “each Covered Master Agreement” in the 871(m) Protocol will be deemed to be references to the Agreement with respect to the Transaction, and references to the “Implementation Date” in the 871(m) Protocol will be deemed to be references to the Trade Date of the Transaction. For greater certainty, if there is any inconsistency between this provision and the provisions contained in any other agreement between the parties with respect to the Transaction, this provision shall prevail unless such other agreement expressly overrides the provisions of the Attachment to the 871(m) Protocol.
(v) Tax Documentation. For the purposes of Sections 4(a)(i) and 4(a)(ii) of the Agreement, Counterparty shall provide to Dealer a valid and duly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor thereto, completed accurately and in a manner reasonably acceptable to Dealer and, in particular, with the “C Corporation” box checked on line 3 thereof (i) on or before the date of execution of this Confirmation; (ii) promptly upon reasonable demand by Dealer; and (iii) promptly upon learning that any such tax form previously provided by Counterparty has become inaccurate or incorrect.

(vi) Deduction or Withholding for Tax. Sections 2(d)(i), 2(d)(i)(4), 2(d)(ii)(1) of the Agreement and the definition of "Tax" are hereby amended by replacing the words "pay", "paid", "payment" or "payments" with the words "pay or deliver", "paid or delivered", "payment or delivery" or "payments or deliveries", respectively.
(w)Counterparts:
a.Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail or transmission (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., DocuSign and AdobeSign) (any such signature, an “Electronic Signature”) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in this Confirmation or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Confirmation shall include any Electronic Signature, except to the extent electronic notices are expressly prohibited under this Confirmation or the Agreement.
(x)U.S. Stay Regulations.
a.[To the extent that the QFC Stay Rules are applicable hereto, then the parties agree that (i) to the extent that prior to the date hereof both parties have adhered to the 2018 ISDA U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol (the “Protocol”), the terms of the Protocol are incorporated into and form a part of this Confirmation, and for such purposes this Confirmation shall be deemed a Protocol Covered Agreement and each party shall be deemed to have the same status as “Regulated Entity” and/or “Adhering Party” as applicable to it under the Protocol; (ii) to the extent that prior to the date hereof the parties have executed a separate agreement the effect of which is to amend the qualified financial contracts between them to conform with the requirements of the QFC Stay Rules (the “Bilateral Agreement”), the terms of the Bilateral Agreement are incorporated into and form a part of this Confirmation and each party shall be deemed to have the status of “Covered Entity” or “Counterparty Entity” (or other similar term) as applicable to it under the Bilateral Agreement; or (iii) if clause (i) and clause (ii) do not apply, the terms of Section 1 and Section 2 and the related defined terms (together, the “Bilateral Terms”) of the form of bilateral template entitled “Full-Length Omnibus (for use between U.S. G-SIBs and Corporate Groups)” published by ISDA on November 2, 2018 (currently available on the 2018 ISDA U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol page at www.isda.org and, a copy of which is available upon request), the effect of which is to amend the qualified financial contracts between the parties thereto to conform with the requirements of the QFC Stay Rules, are hereby incorporated into and form a part of this Confirmation, and for such purposes this Confirmation shall be deemed a “Covered Agreement,” Dealer shall be deemed a “Covered Entity” and Counterparty shall be deemed a “Counterparty Entity.” In the event that, after the date of this Confirmation, both parties hereto become adhering parties to the Protocol, the terms of the Protocol will replace the terms of this Paragraph 7(x). In the event of any inconsistencies between this Confirmation and the terms of the Protocol, the Bilateral Agreement or the Bilateral Terms (each, the “QFC Stay Terms”), as applicable, the QFC Stay Terms will govern. Terms used in this Paragraph 7(x) without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them under the QFC Stay Rules. For purposes of this Paragraph 7(x), references to “this Confirmation” include any related credit enhancements entered into between the parties or provided by one to the other.

<YEAR> LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
YEAR <YEAR> RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
You have been granted a restricted stock unit award representing the right to receive the number of shares of Sempra Common Stock set forth below, subject to the vesting conditions set forth below. The restricted stock units, and dividend equivalents with respect to the restricted stock units, under your award may not be sold or assigned. They will be subject to forfeiture unless and until they vest in accordance with the terms and conditions of the award. Shares of Common Stock will be distributed to you after the completion of the service periods ending in <MONTH> <YEAR>, <YEAR>, <YEAR> and <YEAR>, if the restricted stock units vest under the terms and conditions of your award.
The terms and conditions of your award are set forth in the attached Year <YEAR> Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”) and in the Sempra <YEAR> Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which has been provided to you. The summary below highlights selected terms and conditions but it is not complete and you should carefully read the Award Agreement and the Plan to fully understand the terms and conditions of your award. |
| SUMMARY | |
| |
Date of Award: | <DATE>, <YEAR> |
Name of Recipient: | NAME |
Recipient’s Employee Number: | EE ID |
Number of Restricted Stock Units (prior to any dividend equivalents): | # RSU |
| |
Restricted Stock Units: |
Your restricted stock units represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your restricted stock units are not shares of Common Stock. |
Vesting/Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units: |
If not previously forfeited, your restricted stock units will vest in equal annual installments of one-fourth of the original number of units covered by this award (together with related dividend equivalents) on each of the <”first New York Stock Exchange trading days of <YEAR>, <YEAR>, <YEAR> and <YEAR>” [for awards granted on the first New York Stock Exchange trading day of the year] or “first four anniversaries of the award date” [for awards not granted on the first New York Stock Exchange trading day of the year, unless a different vesting schedule is approved by the Compensation and Talent Development Committee]>, subject to your continued employment by Sempra or its Subsidiaries through the applicable Vesting Date. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Award Agreement, if your employment terminates prior to the applicable Vesting Date, your restricted stock units will be forfeited effective immediately following such termination. |
Transfer Restrictions: |
Your restricted stock units may not be sold or otherwise transferred and will remain subject to forfeiture conditions until they vest. |
Termination of Employment: |
Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Award Agreement, your restricted stock units will be forfeited if your employment terminates before such units vest effective immediately following such termination. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Recoupment: Sempra reserves the right to recoup the compensation received in connection with your award of restricted stock units (i) as required by applicable law or the rules or requirements of the primary national securities exchange on which Sempra’s common stock is listed, (ii) as required by the compensation recovery policy implemented or maintained by Sempra (“Compensation Recovery Policy”) or (iii) if your fraudulent or intentional misconduct is found, in the sole discretion of the Compensation and Talent Development Committee, to have materially affected the operations or financial results of Sempra or its Subsidiaries. |
Dividend Equivalents: |
You also have been awarded dividend equivalents with respect to your restricted stock units. Your dividend equivalents represent the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your dividend equivalents will be determined based on the dividends that you would have received had you held shares of Common Stock equal to the vested number of your restricted stock units from the date of your award to the date of the distribution of shares of Common Stock following the vesting of your restricted stock units, and assuming that the dividends were reinvested in Common Stock (and any dividends on such shares were reinvested in Common Stock). The dividends will be deemed reinvested in Common Stock in the same manner as dividends reinvested pursuant to the terms of the Sempra Direct Stock Purchase Plan (also known as the Sempra Dividend Reinvestment Plan). Your dividend equivalents will be subject to the same transfer restrictions, forfeiture and recoupment provisions, and vesting conditions as the shares represented by your restricted stock units. |
Distribution of Shares: |
Shares of Common Stock will be distributed to you to the extent your restricted stock units (and accompanying dividend equivalents) vest. Except as provided otherwise in the Award Agreement, the shares will be distributed to you after the completion of the applicable service period. The shares of Common Stock will include the additional shares to be distributed pursuant to your vested dividend equivalents. |
Taxes: |
Upon distribution of shares of Common Stock to you, you will be subject to income taxes on the value of the distributed shares at the time of distribution and must pay applicable withholding taxes. |
By your acceptance of this award, you agree to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Cover Page/Summary, the Award Agreement and the Plan. You will be deemed to have accepted this award unless you affirmatively reject the award in accordance with the procedures described herein. |

<YEAR> LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
Year <YEAR> Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement
| | | | | |
Award: | You have been granted a restricted stock unit award under Sempra’s <YEAR> Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The award consists of the number of restricted stock units set forth on the Cover Page/Summary to this Award Agreement, and dividend equivalents with respect to the restricted stock units (described below). Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement and not defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. Your restricted stock units represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your restricted stock units are not shares of Common Stock. Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock upon the vesting of the unit. Unless and until they vest, your restricted stock units and any dividend equivalents will be subject to transfer restrictions and forfeiture and vesting conditions. Subject to certain exceptions set forth herein, your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) will be forfeited effective immediately following such termination if your employment terminates before they vest; provided, however, that the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of Sempra’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”), in its sole discretion, may determine to vest you in all or a portion of such restricted stock units (subject to Code Section 409A requirements and the terms of the Plan). See “Vesting/Forfeiture,” “Transfer Restrictions,” and “Termination of Employment” below. |
Vesting/Forfeiture: | Subject to the provisions below relating to the treatment of your restricted stock units in connection with a Change in Control, your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) will vest in equal annual installments of one-fourth of the original number of units covered by this award (together with related dividend equivalents) on each of the <”first New York Stock Exchange trading days of <YEAR>, <YEAR>, <YEAR> and <YEAR>” [for awards granted on the first New York Stock Exchange trading day of the year] or “first four anniversaries of the award date” [for awards not granted on the first New York Stock Exchange trading day of the year, unless a different vesting schedule is approved by the Compensation Committee]>, subject to your continued employment by Sempra or its Subsidiaries through the applicable vesting date and the terms of this Award Agreement. Certificates for the shares will be transferred to your brokerage account unless you specifically instruct otherwise. When the shares of Common Stock are issued to you, your restricted stock units (vested and unvested) and your dividend equivalents will terminate. |
Transfer Restrictions: | You may not sell or otherwise transfer or assign your restricted stock units (or your dividend equivalents). |
| | | | | |
Dividend Equivalents & Capitalization Adjustments: | You also have been awarded dividend equivalents with respect to your restricted stock units. Your dividend equivalents represent the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award. Your dividend equivalents will be determined based on the dividends that you would have received had you held shares of Common Stock equal to the vested number of your restricted stock units from the date of your award to the date of the distribution of shares of Common Stock following the vesting of your restricted stock units, and assuming that the dividends were reinvested in Common Stock (and any dividends on such shares were reinvested in Common Stock). The dividends will be deemed reinvested in Common Stock in the same manner as dividends reinvested pursuant to the terms of the Sempra Direct Stock Purchase Plan (also known as the Sempra Dividend Reinvestment Plan). Your dividend equivalents will be subject to the same transfer restrictions, forfeiture and recoupment provisions, and vesting conditions as your restricted stock units. They will vest when and to the extent that your restricted stock units vest. Also, your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents), including the terms and conditions thereof, will, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, be substituted or adjusted, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. Any additional restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) awarded to you as a result of such substitution or adjustment also will be subject to the same transfer restrictions, forfeiture and recoupment provisions, and vesting conditions and other terms and conditions that are applicable to your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents). |
No Shareholder Rights: | Your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) are not shares of Common Stock. You will have no rights as a shareholder unless and until shares of Common Stock are issued to you following the vesting of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) as provided in this Award Agreement and the Plan. |
Distribution of Shares: | Following the vesting of your restricted stock units, you will receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your restricted stock units that have vested. However, in no event will you receive under this award, and other awards granted to you under the Plan in the same fiscal year of Sempra, more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock permitted under the Plan. Also, you will receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to your vested dividend equivalents. You will receive the shares as soon as reasonably practicable following each vesting date (and in no event later than March 15 of the year following the applicable vesting date). Once you receive the shares of Common Stock, your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) will terminate. |
Termination of Employment: |
Termination: | If your employment with Sempra and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason other than by reason of your death or in connection with a Change in Control prior to the vesting of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents), all of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) will be forfeited effective immediately following such termination; provided, however, that the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion may determine to vest you in all or a portion of such restricted stock units (subject to Code Section 409A requirements and the terms of the Plan). If your employment terminates by reason of your death prior to the vesting of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents), all of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) will vest upon your death. |
| | | | | |
Termination for Cause: | If your employment with Sempra and its Subsidiaries terminates for cause, or your employment would have been subject to termination for cause, prior to the vesting of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents), all of your restricted stock units (and dividend equivalents) will be forfeited effective immediately following such termination. Prior to the consummation of a Change in Control, a termination for cause is (i) the willful failure by you to substantially perform your duties with Sempra or your employer (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness), (ii) the grossly negligent performance of such obligations referenced in clause (i) of this definition, (iii) your gross insubordination; and/or (iv) your commission of one or more acts of moral turpitude that constitute a violation of applicable law (including but not limited to a felony) which have or result in an adverse effect on Sempra, monetarily or otherwise, or one or more significant acts of dishonesty. For purposes of clause (i), no act, or failure to act, on your part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by you not in good faith and without reasonable belief that your act, or failure to act, was in the best interests of Sempra and its Subsidiaries. If your restricted stock units remain outstanding following a Change in Control pursuant to a Replacement Award, a termination for cause following such Change in Control shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan that define “Cause”, including reasonable notice and, if possible, a reasonable opportunity to cure as provided therein. |
Taxes: | |
Withholding Taxes: | When you become subject to withholding taxes upon distribution of the shares of Common Stock or otherwise, Sempra or its Subsidiary is required to withhold taxes. Unless you instruct otherwise and pay or make arrangements satisfactory to Sempra to pay these taxes, upon the distribution of your shares, Sempra will withhold a sufficient number of shares of common stock that you would otherwise be entitled to receive to cover the minimum required withholding taxes and transfer to you only the remaining balance of your shares. In the event that, following a Change in Control, your restricted stock units become eligible for a distribution upon your Retirement by reason of your combined age and service, your restricted stock units may become subject to employment tax withholding prior to the distribution of shares with respect to such units. |
Code Section 409A:
Recoupment: | Your restricted stock units are subject to provisions of the Plan which set forth terms to comply with Code Section 409A. Sempra reserves the right to recoup the compensation received in connection with your award of restricted stock units (i) as required by applicable law or the rules or requirements of the primary national securities exchange on which Sempra’s common stock is listed, (ii) as required by the compensation recovery policy implemented or maintained by Sempra (“Compensation Recovery Policy”) or (iii) if your fraudulent or intentional misconduct is found, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, to have materially affected the operations or financial results of Sempra or its Subsidiaries. |
Retention Rights: | Neither your restricted stock unit award nor this Award Agreement gives you any right to be retained by Sempra or any of its Subsidiaries in any capacity and your employer reserves the right to terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause. The value of your award will not be included as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other benefit plan offered by Sempra or any of its Subsidiaries. |
| |
| | | | | |
Change in Control: | In the event of a Change in Control, the following terms shall apply: |
| •If (i) you have achieved age 55 and have completed at least five years of continuous service with Sempra and its Subsidiaries as of the date of a Change in Control and your restricted stock units have not been forfeited prior to the Change in Control, (ii) your outstanding restricted stock units as of the date of a Change in Control are not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and/or (iii) your outstanding restricted stock units are not assumed or substituted with one or more Replacement Awards (as defined in the Plan), then in each case your outstanding restricted stock units and any associated dividend equivalents will vest immediately prior to the Change in Control. If the foregoing terms apply, immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control you will receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your restricted stock units and dividend equivalents that have vested. |
| •If your outstanding restricted stock awards are assumed or substituted with one or more Replacement Awards, then, except as provided otherwise in an individual severance agreement or employment agreement to which you are a party, the terms set forth in the Plan shall apply with respect to such Replacement Award following the Change in Control. If the foregoing terms apply and the Replacement Award vests upon your separation from service or death, on such date, you will receive a number of shares or other property in settlement of the Replacement Awards. |
Further Actions: | You agree to take all actions and execute all documents appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Award Agreement. You shall be deemed to have accepted this award unless you affirmatively reject it in writing addressed to the Corporate Secretary of Sempra no later than 90 days following the Date of Award. You also appoint as your attorney-in-fact each individual who at the time of so acting is the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Sempra with full authority to effect any transfer of any shares of Common Stock distributable to you, including any transfer to pay withholding taxes, that is authorized by this Award Agreement. |
Applicable Law: | This Award Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of California. |
Other Agreements: | In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement and any written employment, severance or other employment-related agreement between you and Sempra, the terms of this Award Agreement, or the terms of such other agreement, whichever are more favorable to you, shall prevail, provided that in each case a conflict shall be resolved in a manner consistent with the intent that your restricted stock units comply with Code Section 409A. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement and the Plan, the Plan document shall prevail. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement and Sempra’s Compensation Recovery Policy, the terms of the Compensation Recovery Policy shall prevail. |
By your acceptance of this award, you agree to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Cover Page/Summary, this Award Agreement and the Plan. You will be deemed to have accepted this award unless you affirmatively reject the award in accordance with the procedures described herein.
