ging Oncor assets or membership interests for any entity other than Oncor 

▪a majority of Oncor’s independent directors and the directors designated by TTI that are present and voting (with at least one required to be present and voting) must approve any annual or multi-year budget if the aggregate amount of capital expenditures or O&M in the budget differs by more than 10% from the corresponding amounts in the budget for the preceding fiscal year or multi-year period, as applicable

As a result of these measures, we do not control Oncor Holdings or Oncor, and we have limited ability to direct the management, operations and policies of Oncor Holdings and Oncor, including the deployment or disposition of their assets, declarations of dividends or other distributions, strategic planning and other important matters. Moreover, all directors of Oncor, including the directors we have appointed, have considerable autonomy and have a duty to act in the best interest of Oncor consistent with the approved ring-fence and Delaware law, which may in some cases be contrary to our interests. To the extent the directors approve or Oncor otherwise pursues actions that are not in our interest, our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects may be materially adversely affected.

Industry-Related Risks

Changes in the regulation of Oncor or the regulation or operation of the electric utility industry and/or the ERCOT market could negatively affect Oncor.

Oncor operates in the electric utility industry and is subject to many of the same or similar risks as SDG&E and SoCalGas as we describe above under “Risks Related to All Sempra Businesses” and “Risks Related to Sempra California,” particularly with respect to our operational risks, financial risks and specifically regulation by federal, state, and local legislative and regulatory authorities regarding rates and other financial and operational matters. Oncor operates in the ERCOT market. In ERCOT, rates are set by the PUCT based on a historical test year, and as a result, the rates Oncor is allowed to charge generally will not exactly match its costs at any given point in time and there is no assurance that it will be able to timely or fully recover its actual costs and/or earn its full return on invested capital, particularly during periods of increased capital spending by Oncor, high inflation, or increases in general interest rates relative to Oncor’s most recent base rate review. Further, the approved levels of recovery could be significantly less than requested levels, and
