 earlier instructions), or by attending the virtual Annual Shareholders Meeting and voting at the meeting prior to the closing of the polls as described in Questions 2 and 3 above (which would revoke the previously submitted instructions). Beneficial owners of shares should follow the voting instructions provided by their bank, broker or other nominee. Attending the Annual Shareholders Meeting will not, in itself, cause your previously granted proxy or previously submitted instructions to be revoked. You must submit a new vote during the meeting prior to the closing of the polls in order to do so.

| 11.Is my vote confidential? |

The Employee Savings Plans automatically provide for confidential voting for the shares in those plans, and votes by beneficial owners of our shares also will be confidential depending on the policies of the applicable bank, broker or other nominee. Shareholders of record may elect that their identity and individual vote be held confidential by making the appropriate selection when voting via the Internet or by telephone or by checking the appropriate box on their proxy card. Confidential voting generally will not apply to the extent voting disclosure is required by law or is necessary or appropriate to assert or defend any claim relating to voting.

| 12.How are shares held in the Employee Savings Plans voted? What happens if I do not timely vote such shares? |

If you hold shares through the Sempra Savings Plan, Southern California Gas Company Retirement Savings Plan or San Diego Gas & Electric Company Savings Plan (collectively, the Employee Savings Plans), they will be voted as you instruct via the Internet (including with a mobile device) or by telephone or mail as these voting methods are described in Question 7 above. If you submit your vote without giving specific voting instructions or you do not timely submit your vote, your shares will be voted in the discretion of Newport Trust Company, the independent fiduciary and investment manager for the Sempra Common Stock Fund under the Employee Savings Plans. For shares held through any of the Employee Savings Plans, your voting instructions must be received by 8 a.m. Eastern Time on May 8, 2025 for Newport Trust Company to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. Although the meeting site may permit you to cast a vote during the virtual Annual Shareholders Meeting if you choose to attend, that vote will not be counted with respect to any shares held in any of the Employee Savings Plans. Owners of shares through any of the Employee Savings Plans will be able to submit questions at and in advance of the meeting in the same manner as our other shareholders as described in Question 3 above.
