TABLE OF CONTENTS Proxy Statement Summary

Director Nominee Composition Our board has made it a priority to develop and support a high-performance culture for our board, our management and the rest of our workforce. At the board level, the board seeks directors with a variety of skills and experience, among other things. We conduct an annual assessment of each director’s skills, qualifications and experience as well as an annual board evaluation, each of which is fundamental to the board’s process for assembling a group of directors with a varied and appropriate mix of experience, competencies and backgrounds. The board uses the results of the assessment and evaluation to critically analyze its effectiveness and skill set, which helps position the board to oversee Sempra’s current and future strategies and operations. In 2024 and 2025, this process resulted in the appointment of the following new directors:

| • | Jennifer M. Kirk, who was initially recommended by a third-party search firm, has more than 20 years of experience in finance, capital markets and public accounting matters, as well as an established track record as an executive in the energy industry, |

| • | Kevin C. Sagara, who was initially recommended by non-management directors, has demonstrated leadership skills and experience in both regulated utility and non-regulated energy infrastructure operations, including in safety, regulatory affairs, legal and governance, and |

| • | Anya Weaving, who was initially recommended by a third-party search firm, has industry knowledge, financial acumen and critical skills in strategic decision-making and governance. |

See “Proposal 1: Election of Directors" for more information about the background and experience of these three new directors and each of our other director nominees. We have a strong track record of board refreshment. We have added four of our current directors since the beginning of 2023, three of whom are independent directors under the standards established by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
