PG&E Files Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization

PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (together “PG&E”)
today filed a joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of
California (the “Bankruptcy Court”). This Plan is another step in a
multi-step process as PG&E works to compensate wildfire victims and
emerge from Chapter 11 while continuing to improve safety and
operational performance for its customers. The Plan will be updated as
developments require.

“Under the Plan we filed today, we will meet our commitment to fairly
compensate wildfire victims and we will emerge from Chapter 11
financially sound and able to continue meeting California’s clean energy
goals,” said Bill Johnson, PG&E Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer
and President. “Throughout this process, we remain focused on the
guiding principles of safely and reliably delivering energy to our
customers, further reducing the risk of wildfires, and continuing to
support the state’s clean energy goals. I am confident that we can, and
will, provide better service to our customers and communities, and our
Plan of Reorganization is another step in this process.”

As contemplated by the Plan, PG&E is on track to achieve confirmation of
the Plan in advance of the June 30, 2020, deadline set forth in Assembly
Bill 1054 for participation in the newly-established state wildfire
fund. The Plan filed today proposes a rate-neutral framework that fairly
compensates wildfire victims and other stakeholders, prioritizes the
interests of our customers and communities, and meets PG&E’s legal
obligations. It is comprised of, among other things, the following:

• Compensation of wildfire victims and certain limited public entities
  from a trust funded for their benefit in an amount to be determined by
  the Bankruptcy Court not to exceed $8.4 billion;
• Compensation of insurance subrogation claimants from a trust funded
  for their benefit in an amount to be determined by the Bankruptcy
  Court not to exceed $8.5 billion;
• Payment of $1 billion in full settlement of the claims of certain
  public entities relating to the wildfires, as previously announced;
• Payment in full, with interest, of all prepetition funded debt
  obligations, all prepetition trade claims and employee-related claims;
• Assumption of all power purchase agreements and community choice
  aggregation servicing agreements;
• Assumption of all pension obligations, other employee obligations, and
  collective bargaining agreements with labor;
• Future participation in the state wildfire fund established by
  Assembly Bill 1054; and
• Satisfaction of the requirements of Assembly Bill 1054.

PG&E’s Chapter 11 emergence financing is expected to include a
substantial equity financing component, which could include a rights
offering to existing shareholders or one or more offerings in the
capital markets. PG&E intends to work with financial institutions over
the next several weeks to obtain up to $14 billion of total equity
financing commitments. All proceeds of the equity commitments will be
used to pay wildfire victims and help fund PG&E’s contributions to the
state wildfire fund.

The Plan filed today is subject to confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court
in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and to the
occurrence of the effective date in accordance with the conditions set
forth in the Plan.
