Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why did PG&E file for Chapter 11?

 The devastating and unprecedented wildfires of 2017 and 2018 have had a profound impact 

on our customers, employees and the communities we serve.

 Resolving our legal liabilities and financial challenges will be enormously complex and will 

require us to address multiple stakeholder interests, including thousands of wildfire victims 

and others who have already made claims and likely thousands of others we expect to make 

claims.

 Chapter 11 is expected to enable the continued safe delivery of natural gas and electric 

service to our customers, and support the orderly, fair and expeditious resolution of PG&E’s 

potential liabilities resulting from the Northern California wildfires.

 This process will assure access to the financial resources necessary to support ongoing 

operations and enable PG&E to continue investing in our systems, infrastructure and critical 

safety efforts, including our Community Wildfire Safety Program, an additional precautionary 

safety measure implemented following the 2017 Northern California wildfires to further reduce 

wildfire risk. 

 This process also allows us to work with customers, civic leaders, regulators, policymakers 

and other key stakeholders to consider alternatives to provide for the safe delivery of natural 

gas and electricity and new safety solutions in an environment challenged by climate change. 

2. Will PG&E continue in business after the Chapter 11 filing?

 Yes. PG&E will remain in business to service its customers. The Chapter 11 filing will give 

PG&E an opportunity to address and resolve its financial situation while providing the ability 

to maintain ongoing operations. 

 As a result, PG&E will continue to require goods and services from our supplier community 

consistent with the past. 

 The Court granted PG&E approval to access up to $1.5 billion of its $5.5 billion in debtor-inpossession financing, which will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our post-petition 

obligations.

 The DIP financing will also provide PG&E with necessary capital to ensure essential 

maintenance and continued investments in safety and reliability.

 We will ask for final approval of the balance of the DIP financing and final approval of other 

first day motions at a hearing on February 27, 2019. 

 In accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, PG&E will continue to pay all undisputed invoices 

for post-petition goods and services in the ordinary course based on standard or agreed-upon 

terms.

PCG Ch. 11 Supplier Letter 

To Our Valued Supplier Partner, 

We value our relationship with you and the important role you play in our ability to serve our customers

safely.

We are reaching out to let you know that PG&E has taken the expected next step in its reorganization 

process. Today, we filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the 

Northern District of California.

Here are the most important things you need to know about this process:

 We intend to pay vendors and suppliers under normal terms for goods and services 

provided on or after the filing date of January 29, 2019. In addition, in conjunction with the 

filing, we filed a motion seeking interim and final approval of the Court to enter into an agreement 

for $5.5 billion in new financing that we expect will allow us to meet our obligations during the 

Chapter 11 process. 

 Our operations are continuing as normal. We do not expect any impact to electric or natural 

gas service for our customers, and we plan to continue to make investments to upgrade our 

systems, infrastructure and critical safety efforts. 

 We and our customers are relying on you to continue providing the products and services 

we need. We recognize the important role you play in enabling PG&E to deliver safe and reliable

service to our customers.

You also should know that the Bankruptcy Code does not permit payment for goods and services 

received prior to the filing date except pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court. Any claims for such 

goods and services will be addressed in the Chapter 11 case. We sincerely regret any hardship this may 

cause.

We are committed to being transparent and to working closely with you throughout this process, and we 

will continue to keep you informed as we move forward. If you have questions, please reach out to your 

usual sourcing contact or email our dedicated supplier outreach address at SupplierInquiries@pge.com.

Additional information is available at PG&E’s restructuring website at www.pge.com/reorganization, by 

calling our Restructuring Hotline at 844-339-4217 (for calls originating outside of the U.S. please dial 1-

929-333-8977) or by emailing pgeinfo@primeclerk.com. Court filings and other documents related to the 

court-supervised process are available on a separate website administered by our claims agent, at 

https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/pge.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to continuing to work closely with you as we 

work through this process. 

Sincerely,

Gun S. Shim
